An integrated hands-on workshop designed to demonstrate practical applications of mathematics in science!
Determine wind speed. How high is that building? Can you work out the number of animals in the bushland? Bend and bounce light using prisms and mirrors…+ many others!
Students perform investigations in density, buoyancy, ecological sampling, the weather and reflected light angles. The focus of the workshop is to demonstrate that mathematics is a tool, rather than just to provide correct or incorrect answers. As such the answers need to be evaluated carefully against how the experiment is designed. Mathematical concepts cover algebraic techniques, measurement, integers, fractions, number patterns, angles and geometric figures.
This primary STEM workshop visit is ideal for gifted and talented students or for those teachers wanting to extend their next maths class.
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

- 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!)
I just wanted to pass on how much the staff and students really enjoyed it and how perfect it was to launch our science week activities. The students were enthralled, educated and entertained – a perfect trifecta!
-Caulfield Grammar School – Big Science Big FunThanks so much for presenting at our school on Monday. Our students enjoyed the show.
-Greenvale Primary School – Big Science Big FunFizzics Education curated a thoughtful and hands-on experience for the children, incorporating practical, skill-based learning activities and followed by a science presentation at the end of the event involving liquid nitrogen. This was delivered safely and effectively, capturing both the children and the parents for the duration of the presentation.
-Macquarie Bank – Family Fun DayFizzics Education ran a show today at our school and it was wonderful. He was a great facilitator and the show was age appropriate and well done.
