Alien Life Form
In this interactive, students design a plant that will exist in a specific environment. Using an alien interface and concept, students select an Earth environment to explore. These environments were specifically chosen for their diversity and representation across all states of Australia and New Zealand. Having made a choice, an alien scan is conducted to provide the student with information about the environment. Students use this information and draw on prior learning in order to create an alien plant that will survive well in their chosen environment.

Fair Test
Fair Test is a learning object that provides students with a cognitive and technological tool through which they will gain an understanding of the scientific process in terms of the design and execution of a fair scientific experiment. In doing so students explore aspects of the scientific process such as independent and dependent variables and experiment with these variable in order to generate different results for comparison, analysis and discussion.

In Digestion
In Digestion lets users explore how their digestive system works in an interactive that allows them to feed a human digestive system with a range of foods and follow the process of digestion in a human body through four key stages from eating food through to expelling waste. Students can also interact with this process by reading information about each stage, making choices and observing the effect that their choices have upon the human body through animation.

Who's for Dinner
This object is based on the concept of students actively participating as species in a food web and gaining an understanding of their place within a food chain. The aim is to be a successful consumer on three different levels – a tadpole (first order consumer), a fish (second order consumer) and a heron (third order consumer). These tasks can be further frustrated by the role of chance in the game whereby certain events might save you from being eaten or have you become someone else’s dinner. This object provides students with an engaging means to explore the concept of food chains and provides students with an understanding of the interrelated issues.

Beat it
The Beat IT resource provides a high degree of flexibility in classroom use. Students learn to play an instrument through two different pathways. Students can start with techniques first to learn the appropriate method to play each instrument and then apply their skills to create a pattern or tune. Alternatively students can explore the patterns first as a lead in activity, experimenting with different sounds and methods, then master the techniques.

Food Chain
This resource provides students with an illustration of a continental shelf depicting three or four different marine habitats – from the shallower coral reef to the deep water. Students explore by zooming in on a specific habitats or species to learn more about marine life. Having explored the different habitats, students will be prompted to play the food chain game, applying the knowledge they have just gathered.

Message in a Bottle
This resource provides students with the opportunity to send a message in a bottle and perhaps receive a response by the bottle's founder.Undertaken as a joint class activity, students will first need to earn the right to send their message by correctly answering a set of questions. Each correct answer provides students with a letter or number that makes up part of a word or code that must be entered on screen in order to release their bottle into the ocean from any point on a map of the world.

Underwater World
Underwater World provides a full sensory experience with audio being a key component challenging the notion that it is silent under water. Students are prompted to explore the environment by navigating the scuba diver and were provided with tasks or challenges to find out specific information on a species.

The Circle
This project was developed as a suite of Antarctic related resources for students from years 5 to 10, focusing on both science and SOSE curriculum. An interactive journey sequence sets the scene and students are provided with a sense of the two week journey from Hobart to Antarctica on board the Aurora Australis – through the roaring forties, the furious fifties and the screaming sixties to the peace and tranquillity of the pack ice.
