Environment Research and Technology
ANSTO conducts and enables research to address some of Australia’s and the world’s most challenging environmental problems.
Year 7-8 Atoms, Elements and the Periodic Table
Designed to address the new 2026 NSW Science Stage 4 (Year 7-8) syllabus, this tour is a hands-on introduction to atomic structure, the properties and classification of some elements, and the structure of the periodic table. Students will do a series of hands-on activities using the workbook below.
All tours are available Monday to Friday for Years 7 to 12 classes.
The cost per student is $12.50 and teachers are free.
Teachers are requested to print enough copies of the relevant workbook for their class before their visit to ANSTO, as students will not be permitted to bring digital devices on-site.

ANSTO STEAM Club for Girls
The program combines engaging hands-on experiments and activities with inquiry-based learning to inspire curiosity and help support the development of problem-solving in girls.
Enthusiastically delivered by our qualified female educators, the program will provide a supportive environment to encourage girls to become confident and active learners.
The program will also incorporate a tour of ANSTOs important science and engineering facilities in Sydney to reinforce interest in STEM. Participants will have the opportunity to meet some of Australia’s leading female scientists and engineers!
The STEAM Club for Girls builds on the success of the online STEAM Club program that engaged students across Australia from 2020 to 2023.
