ANSTO XR

The Free ANSTO XR app uses a mix of AR and VR to transport you to the scale of an atom and discover the world of protons, neutrons, and electrons. 

See how synchrotron light generated from super accelerated electrons can give scientists x-ray vision. 

See how the ANSTO periodic table poster works with Augmented Reality.

Exploring what scientists do

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

Using elemental data to combat illegal wildlife trade

This resource guides students through how to interpret and analyse authentic research data, generated during a collaborative project between UNSW, UTS, ANSTO and Taronga Zoo Sydney. The project examines the use of high-resolution x-ray fluorescence as a tool to combat the international illegal wildlife trade (IWT) of short beaked echidnas, which are being removed from the wild and claimed as captive-bred. 

Students will:

- examine the adaptations of short beaked echidnas that increase their ability to survive in their environment
- explore the use of technology in contributing to the study and conservation of biodiversity
- construct simple graphs of the provided data using MS Excel, and interpret and analyse these graphs
- investigate how scientific knowledge interacts with social, economic, cultural and ethical issues.
