Fired Up! Enquire Now Explore how heat really works! See the fire triangle in action – with a controlled fireball! Why do we see flames in the colour we do? Learn about combustion chambers and how they are used in rocket engines. How do magicians do the tricks they do? Explore convection, conduction, expansion & more From coloured flames to spectacular fire demonstrations, this fire show will keep your students warmed up to science! Full risk assessments available on request. Available as a primary school science incursion within Australia or as a video conference to any school around the globe! Trustpilot Online Class Version We’ve run live interactive distance programs since 2010 and are highly experienced in making online classes engaging for students on a variety of web conferencing platforms. All of the same curriculum points will be covered, but the activities may vary from those listed for face-to-face incursions. Our online classes include demonstrations, Q&A, and hands-on activities (you will receive a materials list upon booking). Full child protections are in place We usually connect to classes & homes via Zoom, however if you wish to use a different software we can work with you on getting the connection live. If you connect with us via Zoom Full system requirements for Zoom here Each student should test their Zoom connection here. Once the date & time is arranged we will send you simple connection instructions (one click & you’re in!)

We go through the safety at home, school & beyond. Coloured flames Learn how the colours of fireworks really work Magic burning trick How does the substance not burn, yet everything else does? Whoosh bottle Learn how combustion chambers really work Flour fireball A spectacular way to learn about the fire triangle Tea bag rocket Hot air rises... and so does this rocket Hands on fire Yes, you read that correctly... safely learn about how insulation works! Water balloon & candle Why doesn't it pop? Sparkler science Why do sparklers work and what are the chemical changes? Hydrogen pop Highly explosive hydrogen under controlled conditions Requirements We cannot run this without the fire alarms isolated For safety this cannot be run outside Appropriate for Years 3 to 6 with a maximum of 60 students per session Two tables in a well-ventilated area Chairs are not required Duration 45 minutes, set up time 30 minutes and pack up time 30 minutes For us to provide the best possible learning experience, the materials used during the presentation may be varied to suit the conditions and the audience.
