This online resource introduces students to space exploration.
The resource is a Science ASSIST Connected Learning Experience (CLE) to help teach Year 5 students about the scale of the solar system and human exploration of space.
This online resource deals with the flow of energy through ecosystems.
The resource is a Science ASSIST Connected Learning Experience (CLE) to help teach Year 7 students about the connected nature of ecosystems and the flow of energy through them.
Description: In this investigation, students explore and develop models of food chains and food webs to represent and analyse the flow of energy through ecosystems and explore the impact of changing components within these systems.

This CLE involves a hands-on activity linked to investigating the properties of matter.
Description: In this investigation, the properties of materials are investigated in the context of modelling a bungee jump by an egg. There is an emphasis on linking the physical properties of materials to their use in order to solve a real-world problem.

This Connected Learning Experience explores forces in an Indigenous context.
Description: In this investigation, younger students explore how push/pull forces can be applied to make an object move, in the context of spinning tops. They observe characteristics of successful spinners, and notice how a force is applied to set them in motion, or to make them stop.

This online resource addresses some of the mathematics involved our CLEs.
The resource is a video where Adrian Dilger, Numeracy Consultant at the Catholic Education Office SA, identifies the links to the Australian Curriculum: Maths in the following CLEs: Weather watch (yr F), Sound and hearing (yr 1), The Penguin Project (yr 3), Magnetism and electrostatics (yr 4) and Biodiversity study (yr6).
