Liquid Nitrogen Show Investigate properties of materials in this "cool" performance. Enquire Now Super cool science show! Students have the opportunity to assist in the many cool liquid nitrogen demonstrations Find out how solids, liquids and gases change when rapidly heated and cooled. Smash a tennis ball! Shrink a balloon instantly! What happens to living things if they are frozen? How can Newton’s 3rd Law of Motion explain a liquid nitrogen sprinkler? Explore Charles Law using popping cans and expanding balloons. Just what is the Leidenfrost effect anyway and more… This science show covers phase changes in states of matter, expansion and contraction, basic cell theory, air pressure and the weather. This school science performance can also be viewed as a LIVE web conference anywhere in the world! 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 opportunities for students to ask questions. 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!)

Heat can be produced in many ways and can move from one object to another. (ACSSU049). Forces can be exerted by one object on another through direct contact or from a distance (ACSSU076). Solids, liquids and gases have different observable properties and behave in different ways (ACSSU077).

Ben was great! He was very engaging and was able to answer student questions. He looked like he genuinely enjoyed what he was doing which created a great atmosphere! The show was very informative and engaging! We would highly recommend Ben and the show to any of our colleagues! St Hurmizd Assyrian Primary School Feedback on: Year 4 Liquid Nitrogen Show I liked how the scientific laws were taught in a visual way, (as well as) showing practical tools used by scientists. I liked the idea of relating concepts to the real world... mixing scientific information with a variety of fun activities. Very successful. Science Show Demonstrations Safety of cryogenic substances Liquid Nitrogen is - 196˚C, so what equipment must be used? Fog breath Is water present in your breath? Condensation demonstration. The shrinking balloon What happens to gases when rapidly cooled? Air pressure demo Balloon blow up Blowing balloons up from the outside! Transferring heat energy. Lid launcher Expanding gases have a lot of force - why can this be a problem? The flying glove Heating gases causes rapid expansion! Ball smasher Why can rubber shatter? Glass transition phase demonstration Banana hammer Can plant material survive instant freezing? Liquid Nitrogen sprinkler! Rapid expansion of Nitrogen can be utilised - what about water? Cool lasers How are lasers used in atmospheric research? Frozen bubbles Bubbles can give clues about our changing environment. Cooling circuits Proving chemical reactions slow when cooled. Leidenfrost effect Rapidly boiling liquids can hover over surfaces… how? Levitating magnets See the power within superconductors; future research in action Feedback on the Liquid Nitrogen school science show Trustpilot Requirements Appropriate for Years K 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.
