(Also known as: STEM Table, Sensory Exploration Zone or Inquiry Station)
 
Free Downloadable Toolkit
 
Encourage wonder, scientific thinking, and hands-on inquiry with our Discovery Hub — a free resource designed to support meaningful STEM learning, sensory play, and open-ended experimentation.
 
This hub invites children and young people to observe, hypothesise, test, and reflect. From mixing materials and exploring magnets to building circuits and conducting mini science investigations, the Discovery Hub makes curiosity visible and celebrated.
 
Perfect for nurturing confident learners who love to question, this toolkit supports educators to embed inquiry-based learning, connect with frameworks, and guide intentional planning — all while embracing the joy (and mess) of learning through doing.
