From Joeys to Rovers, we have Program Resources you can integrate into your STEM program and use as starting points for your Physics STE(A)M Challenge entry!
STEM Youth Councils and STEM Leaders from across Australia have been working hard to create a series of youth-led, adult supported STEM activities focussed on the Physics of Waves. Our activities cover everything from sound waves to gravity waves and are a fantastic way to incorporate STEM into your Unit's program. We hope you find our activities stimulating, supportive and effective at getting your Scouts into Physics. Join Scouts across Australia as we celebrate National Science Week 2022 and explore the Physics of Waves in our program.
You can check out at our program resources below. Build a night by selecting some activities that interest you and your Unit. With everything from programming information to step-by-step Plan>Do>Review> instructions, our program resources contain everything you need to bring physics into your Unit, no STEM experience needed!
As you explore our program for National Science Week 2022, we'd love to see how you engage with the Physics of Waves. We're always interested in seeing your Unit's photos and videos. If you're sharing pictures on social media remember to use the hashtags: #StemScoutsAU #ScienceWeek #ScoutsAustralia
If you have any questions, please reach out to the SciScouts Physics of Waves Program Resources team.
Be sure to check back again soon as more resources become available.
