Diving into the deep for National Science Week

Strap in, and journey to the deep this National Science Week
Dive in deep as we explore each of the five ocean zones and discover what makes them a unique habitat. Through live demonstrations and interactive elements, we'll investigate each layer of the ocean and discuss its environmental conditions, the species that have adapted to survive there and the technologies used to explore it. Students will:
- Learn about the physical conditions of each ocean zone
- Discover real deep-sea creatures who have adapted to the conditions of their habitat
- Discuss how and why scientists study and protect the ocean
This session will start at 2pm for all states observing Australian Eastern Standard Time (NSW, ACT, Qld, Vic & Tas), 1.30pm for Schools in SA and NT and 12pm for WA.
