ANSTO’s online STEAM activity resources encourage creative exploration of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) by incorporating the arts (the A in STEAM).
Try these activities at home, in the classroom, or during the school holidays! You only need a few things from around the house to do these activities, plus your imagination! We will be adding new activities at the end of each term. So, watch this space for more engaging and creative STEAM experiences coming soon!

Let your students lead a 30-minute Q&A session with our ANSTO experts about one of the following three topics:
- Nuclear medicines
- Nuclear techniques to study the environment
- Fission and its applications in reactors
Please ensure your students do some pre-reading about the research topic and come prepared with questions to ask during the session. We also ask that teachers send us a copy of the student questions the day before, so we can adequately prepare for your session. Teachers must be present during the session with their students.
Cost: Free
At ANSTO we have a large range of facilities that can be used to investigate planetary materials.
