Science Week for Schools

It sure is!

Each year the Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery (QVMAG) host Science Week celebrations, including a week-long educational series for schools in northern Tasmania running between Monday 12 to Friday 16 August 2024.  

This year, QVMAG has once again teamed up with the City of Launceston’s My Place My Future project to host a competition that will see two lucky classrooms within the Northern Suburbs of Launceston win a FREE full day experience, and bus transport, as part of this Science Week program.  

To enter, simply share with us in 100 words or less why your classroom would love to experience Science Week at QVMAG via the online submission form below, with the two winning classrooms set to be notified on Tuesday 24 June 2024.  

About the experience: 

This full day experience will have your classroom exploring a range of hands-on learning activities relating to the 2024 Science Week theme Species Survival: More Than Just Sustainability. 

Whether it’s learning about the solar system and sustainable waste management, through to species survival, rainwater harvesting challenges, and more—this day will be jam-packed with science education for primary school class groups.  

This full-day experience runs from 9.30am to 2pm, with bus transport included to and from the Queen Victoria Museum at Inveresk on the day.  

About the competition: 

While only two lucky classrooms from the Northern Suburbs of Launceston will be chosen to join the QVMAG Science Week for Schools program at the Museum at Inveresk, two fun-filled education prize packs from the QVMAG Shop will be up for grabs for two lucky runner up classrooms (valued at over $400 per prize pack!). Winners of the two prize packs will be notified on Tuesday 24 June 2024.
