Brain Break morning tea

Brain Breaks are a chance for people to gather informally in workplaces or schools- perhaps over morning tea, or a walking meeting- and share some fascinating science facts.

We are developing rounds of trivia that you can use as part of your Brain Break for the following age groups, as well as a super-special ‘Sounds of science’ audio round that’s suitable for everyone.

• Lower Primary (P-3)
• Upper Primary (4-6)
• Secondary school (7-10)
• Adults

You may want to add your own activities to these… think a science demonstration (check out our DIY Science resources for great ideas), sharing a cool piece of science news, or inviting someone who works in STEM along to share a little about their work.

You can register to hold a Public Brain Break if you want members of the public to join you- this is perfect for libraries, community houses etc. Your event will be listed on our website, so people can easily find it.

If you’d prefer just to run a Brain Break for your own school or workplace, please register to hold a Private Brain Break.

Brain Break content will be available for digital download from early June, but you can pre-register now, and we’ll send you a link to our ‘secret’ page to access the resources once they are posted.

Remember to tag us on social media, or use #BrainBreak and #ScienceWeek when you hold your event.

If you are running a Brain Break for adults and you are keen for even more trivia, you can also register to hold a National Science Week Pub Trivia event.
