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.
