What's On - Activities
Located in the Rio Tinto Innovation Central.
Wind Turbine Challenge | RTIC Gallery
The power of wind can be turned into electricity when given the right conditions. In this hands-on challenge you can create and test your own wind turbine. By experimenting with the angle, height, number and placement of blades on the turbines you can generate varying amounts of energy. Test these different variables to see how efficient you can make your turbine.
Watch Toy Tear Down on the Big Screen
Sit back and relax as the ever-curious Alyshia takes toys you know and love, pulls them apart to see what is inside and then uses science to explain how they work. These highly engaging videos combine the wonder of science, the playfulness of toys and the desire for destruction… safely of course.
What's On - Shows
Element of Surprise | Science Theatre
Our world is full of mystery. Science seeks to reveal the truth behind the unexplained and the unexpected. This show turns the classic ‘predict, experiment, observe’ method on its head to reveal surprising science, interesting effects, and illusion to illustrate how our senses and minds can sometimes be unreliable tools in the search for truth.
We are Stars | Planetarium
This immersive experience explores the secrets of our own cosmic chemistry and its explosive origins to answer the ultimate question: What are we made of? This show is suitable for ages 4+.
A Little Space | Planetarium
Take off and move through space, passing satellites, the international space station and asteroids along the way.
This 10-minute immersive show has been created for children under 4 years old and their families.
