Looking forward to the re-opening of the Australian Museum. IF you get the chance to go - have a Roar-some time and see Tyrannosaurus & meet the family.

Tune into ABC Sydney from 6am tomorrow as Weekends host Simon Marnie broadcasts live from the Australian Museum as we reopen our doors to the public. Don't miss out! It's going to be a 'roaring' day! 🦖

The Dinosaur Lady is looking forward to relaxing and watching the Great South Australian Fossil Debate! As her name suggests, she is probably cheering loudest for Team Mesozoic, but it is a tough call as there are so many awesome representatives from the great prehistory of Life on Earth.

Today's the day of The Great South Australian Fossil Debate! You can watch it live, and free, simply by heading to our page, just before the start time of 4pm. There'll be be a four minute countdown, to give you time to find the Livefeed, and then we begin!

And while each of the geological periods and ages being discussed are awesome, which is the most awesome? We'll be giving you the chance to vote for the most awesome, after the event!

Many thanks National Science Week and National Science Week South Australia for also being awesome!

I did my best to not go overboard on the Chocolate Festival this year. Having said that, I have a lot of foil from the past which is still pretty and worth re-using for experiments or craft before recycling. Here are a few of my favourite experiments for you to try - meanwhile I'm working on developing some brand new ones - so save your foil and stay tuned!

and you could even use some chocolate and marshmallows for an easter treat in a solar oven: https://www.fizzicseducation.com.au/150-science-experiments/heat-experiments/pizza-box-solar-oven-2/

A science activity that floats kids boats! Actually, it's more about how well kids can create a foil boat that holds lots of weight. Test their skills!
