AADES Modelling Environmental Data Project
AADES Modelling Environmental Data Project aims to provide an opportunity for geographically and socially isolated students to work with students from other locations and grade levels. Students will collect scientific data and mathematically model it using technology. The data and models developed will be available for schools in the cluster and other interested schools. Students will gain insight into their own environment and the diversity of environments across Australia. They will develop an appreciation for the integration of knowledge and techniques across disciplines and their interest and motivation for further studies will be enhanced. This will lead to the increased prospect of these students pursuing careers in science, mathematics and technology.

School DustWatch: Remote School Students Participating in Real Life Environmental Science
School DustWatch: Remote School Students Participating in Real Life Environmental Science aims to involve primary students in schools with high numbers of Indigenous students in a real-life scientific research project studying dust storms. Students will be involved in measuring and recording observations of dust storms, entering data and communicating between schools via an interactive School DustWatch website. The project will provide a stimulating learning environment in which primary students will work with Griffith University scientists who are mapping wind erosion in desert Australia. The project will develop a comprehensive teaching package for teachers in remote schools which will enable them to provide students with locally relevant scientific experiences to produce a new generation of Indigenous environmental scientists.

Transportable Data Logging for Northern Territory Stage 2 Biology, Chemistry, Physics
Transportable Data Logging for Northern Territory Stage 2 Biology, Chemistry, Physics aims to bridge the gap for rural and remote students and teachers in technology and world class science teaching techniques. The Northern Territory Minerals Council, the Science Teachers Association of the Northern Territory and Questacon will work with remote high schools to deliver laboratory classes by using portable laboratory equipment including data loggers, probes and laboratory chemicals. Senior high school students and teachers will experience inquiry based learning using lab techniques and standards (eg water quality monitoring, heavy metals concentrations, motion detection and carbon dioxide concentrations). Students will enhance their data collection skills and learn to interpret and evaluate the scientific results. Teachers will enhance their knowledge of new technologies and increase their networks for ongoing professional learning.
