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.
Feathery moa’s fossilised footprints, ancient age revealed
ANSTO scientist, Dr Klaus Wilcken of the Centre for Accelerator Science, used cosmogenic nuclide dating to determine the ages of layered sand and gravel samples, in which seven footprints of the flightless bird, the moa, were found on the South Island in New Zealand in 2019.
