Curriculum-Based Resources

All our resources are designed to be implemented within the curriculum, with explicit links to either the Victorian Curriculum, Australian Curriculum, or VCE. These can be incorporated as part of current curriculum units to deliver context within your current curriculum or as a stand-alone elective / problem-based learning course. Each course is highly differentiable, with specific entry and exit points based on the needs of each learner. The courses and have proven stability from Year 5 to Year 11 in school settings.
Our team, inclusive of classroom teachers and a licensed private pilot, have spent the time developing robust curriculum based resources, so what you receive is a classroom ready-to-implement resource. We provide a teacher resource for each unit, which contains instructional concepts that the teacher can follow in class. Each course also provides a student workbook, that the teacher can provide to students digitally (or print and have them use as a lab book). While the courses are ready to implement as-is, we suggest attendance at our Professional Development (PD) sessions to enhance teacher confidence in the delivery of concepts, as well as to provide opportunities to discuss implementation strategies. Please see our upcoming PD page for more information on upcoming PD, or contact us for a more customised approach to your school context. The benefit of all our courses is that students learn through context. They gain both the fundamentals of the skill for calculation and understanding alongside the first-hand experience of those concepts in action. Short blurbs for our two courses are provided on the right, however, please explore our extensive options by clicking into each course below.
STEM: Aviation
This course covers the principles of flight. It covers a variety of Mathematics, Science, Technology and Engineering concepts such as: - Measurement (including Surface Area and Volume) - Speed, Velocity, and Acceleration - Percentage Calculations - Series and Parallel Circuits - Soft Skills (Requires Team Work & Effective Communication) - Science Inquiry Skills - Calculations involving Electrical Circuits - Bernoulli's Principle, Coanda Effect & Newtons Laws
STEM: Rocketry
This course covers the principles of rocketry and flight. It covers a variety of Mathematics, Science, Technology and Engineering concepts such as: - Measurement (including Surface Area and Volume)- Speed, Velocity, and Acceleration- Trigonometric Calculations - Percentage Calculations- Soft Skills (Requires Team Work & Effective Communication)- Science Inquiry Skills- Rocket Engine Types- Newtons Laws - Barrowman's Equations
The video on the right shows the Centripetal Thrust Generator (CTG) flying one standard aircraft. Our CTG has the capacity to fly two planes simultaneously or supply power to two engines up to 24V each. The course can be implemented using our teacher instructions. We also offer professional development by a qualified pilot and teacher for more advanced explanations of concepts with flight, as well as additional classroom uses of the CTG for more advanced use.

The first video on the left shows the launch of a SkyMetra Rocket (single stage only) through the lens of the AstroCam Rocket Camera. The second video on the left shows the initial launch for a series of different types of rockets. This slow-motion footage can easily be captured through a video recorder/phone and then used for more complex calculations backed in the classroom. We also offer professional development sessions for teachers wanting to increase their knowledge and practical expertise in launching rockets within their curriculum.
