ANSTO STEAM Activities
ANSTO’s online STEAM activity resources encourage creative exploration of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) by incorporating the arts (the A in STEAM).
These resources are based on the popular STEAM club online activities that were so effective in engaging children in active STEM investigations. Now you can have access to these activities at home or in the classroom, so you can do them at your convenience. You might like to use them during the school holidays! We hope you enjoy using these resources to explore science beyond the curriculum, with a creative approach. Only common items found around the home are needed, 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!
Explaining glaciers of solid methane and nitrogen on Pluto
Research reports for the first time how solid methane and nitrogen expand in response to temperature changes and resolves an historic ambiguity relating to the structure of nitrogen.
Revealing the 'hidden half' of grain using imaging at ANSTO's Australian Synchrotron to benefit Australian agriculture
Professor of Soil Science at The University of Queensland, Peter Kopittke and partner investigator Prof Enzo Lombi of the University of SA are very optimistic about the use of a new synchrotron-based imaging technique that captures in 3D the complex interaction of soil and root.
A closer look at the science of detecting flu
Funding supports biomedical research
ANSTO part of consortium funded by Federal Government to develop new radioimmunological drugs.
Advanced materials research
New oxygen ion conducting material for use in solid oxide fuel cells and other devices
2000 year global temperature record published
Lake sediments as environmental archives used in compilation of data.
European neutron scattering research community faces challenges
Progress in PNG
PNG Fisheries expresses great satisfaction with the progress of aquaculture initiative.
ANSTO's X-ray techniques support improvements in solar
Advanced X-ray techniques have revealed new structural details about the specific arrangement of atoms in conjugated polymers, an important class of materials that are used in LEDs, organic solar cells, transistors, sensors and thermoelectric power devices.
Graduate Profile – Vienna Wong
PhD candidate Vienna Wong is using her FutureNow Scholarship to research ultra-high temperature ceramics, which are emerging materials for extreme environments.
Aboriginal inhabitants of Madjedbebe, northern Australia used different ways to adapt to environmental change
ANSTO has contributed to research that indicated that Aboriginal people had a broad diet and intensive plant processing technologies, allowing them to respond to changes in climate, sea level and vegetation over the last ca. 65,000 years.
Understanding how ventilation might impact blood flow in ventilated preterm babies
Hudson Institute of Medical Research and Monash University researchers used synchrotron X-rays produce powerful visualisation of video of changes to blood flow to brain during ventilation in large preterm clinical models.
The composition and manufacturing history of African swords revealed
ANSTO scientists were members of an inter-disciplinary team led by the University of Sydney, who examined six 19th century West African swords, using a non-invasive multi-methodological approach to reveal the composition and manufacturing history of the iron implements.

Scalable graphene growth on a semiconductor
The growth and incorporation of graphene into semiconductor device architectures has been limited by challenges related to the quality, reproducibility, and high process temperatures required to grow it on suitable substrates.
First research paper from KOOKABURRA
Nuclear medicine congress
Congress marks watershed moment for nuclear medicine and ANSTO
The risks posed by stormwater runoff can be monitored with thin-film technology
A large collaboration of Australian and New Zealand researchers has established that a thin film technology can be used to monitor stormwater effectively and provides a way to translate the presence of metal contaminants into potential risks to aquatic ecosystems.
