Australian Museum and Royal Botanic Garden Sydney collaborate to create virtual Science Trail

For one month (15th August – 15th September), the Australian Museum and the Royal Botanic Garden Sydney are collaborating to create an exciting and interactive virtual science experience for National Science Week 2020 and beyond.

Sydney Science Trail aimed at children across the country (5-15 years), and their adult friends and teachers, is a free digital quest filled with interactive games, live-streamed talks, explosive science shows and virtual tours from world-class scientists and researchers.

The Sydney Science Trail school program, created in partnership with the NSW Department of Education, presents a unique opportunity for teachers and home-schooling parents to engage their students in the exciting world of scientific research. Students can discover the fascinating powers of adaptation and more, in an interactive, curriculum-linked, virtual classroom.

The trail will explore the depths of the ocean, the incredible resilience of the Australian bush when faced with fires, and offer a unique understanding of First Nations’ approaches to science and the world around us.

The virtual expedition traverses many vital areas of science, from plants and animals, to earth, technology and space, showcasing the best of Sydney’s science and research.

National Science Week is in August and the Sydney Science Trail is supported by media partner, ABC Radio Sydney.
