This resource provides a systematic, step by step scaffold of a scientific investigation using secondary data of atmospheric measurements made on the grounds of Liverpool Girls' High School from March 2019 to February 2020.
Students will:
- propose an hypothesis after researching relevant background information
- process and analyse data and information
- create a graph and interpret results
- communicate the process and findings of their investigation in the form of a scientific report
- increase their understanding of the atmosphere and the factors that influence it

Grant Success
Both the Australian Centre for Neutron Scattering and the National Deuteration Facility share in grants
Sharing groundwater expertise
ANSTO expertise provides much-needed information about groundwater resources in the Mozambique capital and district.
ANSTO radon detector redefines the cleanest air on the planet
Advances in radon measurement technology by ANSTO researchers over the past decade have enabled the improved characterisation of the composition of pristine air masses that reach Antarctica.
Exploring what scientists do
Special international nuclear medicine flights help sick Aussie kids
ANSTO completed an international overnight dash for nuclear medicine earlier this week, chartering three planes to get potentially life-saving children’s cancer treatments from Japan to hospitals across Australia.
Understanding depression
Potential new treatments and tools for depression under development.
Ancient foods provide clues to past rainfall
Research has helped build a record of rainfall during the late Pleistocene and Holocene, and shed light on the strategies of Indigenous Australians to cope with a changing landscape.
Restoring soil carbon
Restoring soil carbon can bring benefits for agricultural productivity and climate change mitigation.
Success in ARC Grants
Collaboration publishes landmark blue carbon study
ANSTO environmental scientists contribute to investigation of carbon capture in wetlands.
Australian science teachers off to CERN
After careful selection, three Australian science teachers are set to fly to Geneva today after winning positions on the International High School Teacher Programme at CERN.
Australian Synchrotron to join consortium mapping the human brain
Consortium will map the 86 billion nerve cells, 100 trillion connections and neurotransmitters in the human brain.
Atom Builder
Build stable and radioactive isotopes using neutrons, protons and electrons with the ANSTO Atom Builder. Discover the uses and properties of common isotopes, and locate elements in the periodic table.
Groundwater science
Water is a resource that needs careful management to ensure it is used sustainably. In this data set, students analyse real research data about the sustainability of groundwater on Rottnest Island.
Students will:
- understand the concepts of groundwater and aquifers and the role of the water cycle
- use MS Excel to construct simple graphs (or draw graphs by hand)
- interpret and analyse graphs and other representations of data
- investigate the effects of a changing climate on groundwater resources
- distinguish between correlation and causation
Australian physicists attend research meeting that tackles challenging diagnostics of plasma physics
International fusion researchers, including ANSTO’s Dr Richard Garrett, have recently returned from ITER in France where they attended a meeting of the coordinating committee of the International Tokomak Physics Activity (ITPA).
