Chemistry Show Creative chemical concoctions ideal for covering a broad range of chemical changes Enquire Now 🔥 High-Impact Chemical Science The Chemistry Show A fantastic school chemistry show with flare! Witness the wonders of chemistry through bubbling dry ice, dramatic colour-changing reactions, glow-in-the-dark pigments, and colourful flames! This show is a fast-paced exploration designed to make complex chemical concepts accessible and exciting for primary students. From the “elephant’s toothpaste” to stringy slimes and the chemistry of fireworks, we investigate how matter behaves and transforms. We also bridge the gap between stage spectacles and real-world science, discussing everything from kitchen chemistry to the environmental impact of acid rain. What Students Discover: States of Matter: Properties of solids, liquids, and gases (including dry ice). Reaction Indicators: Physical changes vs. permanent chemical reactions. pH Science: Acids, bases, and indicators used to detect them. Luminescence: The science of UV light and glowing chemicals. Energy Transitions: Examining heat, light, and motion in reactions. Looking for the High School version? Click here → Education-First Leadership Led by Churchill Fellow Ben Newsome, we ensure every chemistry incursion is grounded in pedagogical best practice. We provide the tools to make high-level science accessible to every student.

Stage 2 ST2-SCI-01 uses information to investigate the solar system and the effects of energy on living, physical and geological systems Recognise that matter is anything that has mass, takes up space and consists of very small particles Observe examples of matter that exist as a solid, which has a defined shape and volume; a liquid, which has a definite volume but not a definite shape; and a gas, which has neither a definite shape nor a definite volume ST2-PQU-01 poses questions to create fair tests that investigate the effects of energy on living things and physical systems Stage 3 ST3-SCI-01 uses evidence to explain how scientific knowledge can be used to develop sustainable practices Recognise that in a fair test, an independent variable is changed, a dependent variable is measured, and controlled variables remain the same Pose questions to determine whether substances dissolve in water by identifying variables and conducting and evaluating fair tests ST3-PQU-01 poses questions to identify variables and conducts fair tests to gather data NSW K-10 Science Syllabus Mapping Print a PDF detailing NSW K-6 mapping VIC Science Syllabus Content VIC Curriculum F–10 Version 2.0 For implementation advice, please visit the VIC Curriculum F-10 site. Levels 3 and 4 solids, liquids and gases have observable properties; adding or removing heat energy leads to a change of state between solids, liquids and gases. VC2S4U04 the properties of natural and made materials, including fibres, metals, glass and plastics, influence their use and re-use. VC2S4U05 heat energy can be generated from different sources; temperature changes may happen when heat is transferred from one object to another. VC2S4U09 scientific investigations to answer questions or test predictions can be planned and conducted using provided scaffolds. VC2S4I02 Levels 5 and 6 the observable properties of matter (solids, liquids and gases) can be explained by modelling the motion and arrangement of their particles. VC2S6U03 changes to substances may be reversible, in which case the substance may be recovered, or irreversible, in which case new substances are formed. VC2S6U04 repeatable scientific investigations can be planned and conducted, including deciding the variables to be changed, measured and controlled in fair tests.

Science show content What Students Experience: A Spectacular Chemical Journey This high-energy performance takes students on a journey through the building blocks of our world. By combining stage flare with rigorous science, we demonstrate that chemistry isn’t just in a lab—it’s everywhere. 1. Foundations of Change We define the critical difference between physical changes and permanent chemical reactions. Students discover how chemical properties are utilised across dozens of different industrial and home applications. 2. Visual Indicators We explore pH science using vibrant colour-changing indicators to measure acidity and alkalinity. This is followed by a dramatic look at gas release through our signature “elephant’s toothpaste” demonstration. 3. Advanced States The show pushes further into material science, covering polymer chains through slime making, chemiluminescence (glowing chemicals), and the formation of solids from liquids (precipitates).
