Museum Victoria is so excited by National Science Week that the folks at Scienceworks couldn’t help but extend the celebration into one massive Super Science Month!
There are activities for all ages. For adults, the Discover the Night Sky series at the Planetarium combines wine, cheese and stargazing with astronomer Tanya Hill. This month’s Skynotes, the regular guide to stars and planets in the southern night sky, is in video format to celebrate Super Science Month.

Families are loving the Fire It Up show on weekends that demonstrates the nature of fire with just the right mix of science and danger, and the fun continues with hands-on experiments in the kid-only zone of BASF Kids’ Labs. The Australian Skeptics will be at Scienceworks on 21 and 22 August debunking tricks and showing parents how to explain science to their kids by asking questions and testing theories.
Off-site, Scienceworks staff will be at the Market of the Mind on 13 August at QV Square to show that we smell and taste with our eyes, too. Do gender, age and culture alter the way we interpret sensory illusions?
