About Scitech
Scitech is a not-for-profit organisation proudly supported by the Western Australian Government through the Department of Jobs, Tourism, Science and Innovation
Earth Matters brings together the interconnected threads of global environmental change. With striking data visualisation and immersive exhibits, this experience reveals the science of human and natural systems.
Our aim is to encourage students to:
- understand and identify big questions
- build creative problem-solving skills
- apply these skills to design their own solutions to environmental challenges.
We can help you choose an Earth Matters excursion for your class. During your visit, our Science Presenters will guide you through the exhibition and its related workshops and shows. All programs are linked to the Western Australian curriculum.
Your visit is supported by an Education Guide that includes pre- and post-visit resources. This is designed to incorporate the themes, content and skills explored during an Earth Matters excursion into your classroom teaching.
Before you book, read more about pricing, visit information, terms & conditions and public liability & safety.
