Students Decode the Universe

19th Aug 2025

As part of National Science Week 2025, students at Bald Blair Public School embraced the theme “Decoding the Universe: Exploring the Unknown with Nature’s Hidden Language” through a week filled with hands-on learning, creativity, and exploration.
The week kicked off with a whole-school Science Day, where students worked in teams on fun and challenging activities. They researched famous scientists and inventors, communicated using light and Morse code, built sun dials to tell time using the sun’s movement, and competed in a marshmallow-and-toothpick tower challenge that tested their engineering and teamwork skills.
On Wednesday, students joined a live webinar with author and illustrator Matt Cosgrove and the Museum of Australian Democracy. Highlights included a reading of Alpacas in Space, a live alpaca drawing tutorial, and a Q&A session where students asked Matt about his stories and creative process.
Thursday saw students head off on an excursion to Thalgarrah, rounding out an exciting week of science and discovery.
This week of activities truly captured the spirit of National Science Week — inspiring curiosity and encouraging students to explore the wonders of the universe around them.
