| Celebrate National Science Week at Darling Harbour |
Sea Life Sydney Aquarium
Explore Australia’s unique and varied marine environments as you snake through the exhibits at SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium.
From the platypus and broad-shelled turtles in Streams and Billabongs and the barramundi and lungfish in the Mangrove Swamps, to the clown fish and weedy sea dragons of Sydney Harbour, you’ll find illumination and wonder in our nation’s previously mysterious waters. Swim with the sharks or check out their daily feed as part of SEA LIFE’s conservation program.
Check out the amazing BJ Price underwater art exhibition and learn about Great Barrier Reef conservation. Take a behind the scenes tour, or, to really get into the Science Week spirit, become a marine biologist for a day!www.sydneyaquarium.com.au

Australian National Maritime Museum
Experience Australia’s maritime history and the science behind it at the Australian National Maritime Museum. The museum’s dedicated National Science Week program includes a variety of events, from Designing Our Composite Futures, a fascinating blend of science and design, with the help of Sydney Design; and Then and Now: The History of Bush Food, an education on the science behind native foods, led by an elder; to Endeavoring Science, which returns again this year to provide a look into botany past and present, the science of cannons, how diseases spread on board, astronomy, air pressure and sailing.
IMAX
Experience amazing documentaries on the biggest screen in the world! Go to the ice and snow and get amongst the penguins in Antarctica, enter the hidden world of insects in Bugs! 3D, be moved by volcanoes, earthquakes and tornadoes in Forces of Nature. Swim in the deep blue with Great White Shark 3D, journey through deep space in Hidden Universe 3D, and get to know the wonders of our own biology in The Human Body. www.imax.com.au So come celebrate National Science Week with us.
