Student Science Activities

  • Join the Double Helix Science club - the official science club of CSIRO
  • The Griffith University - Griffith Science Club - after school science activities.
  • Identify your learning strengths – Research shows that all human beings have at least eight different types of intelligence. Depending on your background and age, some intelligences are more developed than others. This activity will help you find out what your strengths are. Knowing this, you can work to strengthen the other intelligences that you do not use as often. Visit this site to investigate your strengths
