…tick, tick BOOM! A fun science show performance where we blow stuff up! In the name of science of course :) Enquire Now Exactly what the students want! Isn’t it just? What better way to get kids into science than to do the stuff they want to see! Originally designed to be run in Sydney’s Powerhouse Museum, this large stage performance gets noisy as we explore the science behind explosions and explain why chemical safety is so important. This is not just a series of tricks though, our experienced presenter will cover a multitude of concepts: air pressure differentials exothermic vs endothermic chemical reactions the effect of surface area on reaction rates combustion requirements properties of liquid nitrogen applications of controlled explosions and more… Ideal for schools that want a professional large stage science performance in their school hall, with an added bonus that a science show catering up to 240 students at a time is also more economical per student. Excite the students to get back into science or simply end the year with a BANG!

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). Changes to materials can be reversible, such as melting, freezing, evaporating; or irreversible, such as burning and rusting (ACSSU095).

The Big Science Show got rave reviews from both children and adults alike. Our students loved their robotics session and now have more confidence to go on with their explorations. Salamah College Feedback on: tick tick BOOM! Everything was perfect! Science Show Demonstrations Fire ball Learn about the fire triangle in this highly visual demonstration. Hydrogen BANG! Discover just why the Hindenburg exploded... Don't trap it! Giving liquid Nitrogen nowhere to go will result in a VERY fast expansion... Rocket launcher Learn how to launch several types of rockets... its all about high & low pressure Expand-a-foam What happens to shaving cream in a bell jar? Balloon dog pop Explosive decompression really lets you down... especially in space. Elephants toothpaste The classic foamy reaction that releases a lot energy! Ping pong scatter Transference of energy can be spectacular! Whoosh bottle A rudimentary engine on stage . Hovercraft Blow up a bag you can lift a student :) Hot water dump Liquid nitrogen into boiling water... which one wins? Bicarb balloons A great experiments students can safely repeat Lift me up A simple way to demonstrate how an air jack works Bernoulli bag Can you fill a 7 ft bag in one breath? Posts about the tick tick BOOM school science show Trustpilot Requirements Appropriate for K to 6 with a maximum of 240 students per science show. Access to 1 electrical power socket and 3 tables Chairs are not required Duration 60 minutes, set up time 45 minutes and pack up time 45 minutes ESSENTIAL: – Ability to turn off your fire alarms. – Also, a roof at least 5 meters high is required otherwise we need to run one of the experiments outside in an open area.
