This program has three elective components based on the locations at Scienceworks that have proven most popular with adult learners: the House Secrets exhibition, Melbourne Planetarium and The Lightning Room.
Teaching resources for each component include science and language activities for students before and after the excursion as well as on-site activities designed to focus the students on topic related experiences.
