Discovery Voyager Interactive Activities
About
the project
The project involved collaborating with UNE Discovery Voyager to develop seven online interactive resources, including “What body part is that?” and “What bone is that?” activities aimed at anatomy exploration. Additionally, “H2Woah” engaged students in water-related experiments, while “Find a word” challenged them with word puzzles. “Planet measurements” delved into celestial bodies’ sizes, and “Solar system” offered an immersive journey through our cosmic neighbourhood. These resources were meticulously designed to be curriculum-aligned and engaging for virtual delivery, reflecting the team’s dedication to fostering curiosity and learning in STEAM subjects.
What body part is that?
This interactive activity provides students with an engaging opportunity to delve into the intricate anatomy of an ant. By dragging and placing labels on various body parts, students not only receive instant feedback but also witness the transformation of the ant into a beautifully coloured and accurately labelled specimen, enhancing their understanding of ant morphology and biology.

What bone is that?
Similar to the ant activity, this interactive exploration delves into the skeletal structure of a Black Rat, offering students an immersive learning experience. By dragging and placing labels on different bones, students receive valuable feedback and watch as the skeleton transforms into a detailed and accurately labelled golden trophy, providing insight into the skeletal anatomy of rodents and enhancing their understanding of comparative anatomy.
