Enquire Now An awesome science show performance for those schools who’ve had us on stage before! Have you had us for Big Science Big Fun 1 or Tick Tick BOOM? Join us for more science on stage with Big Science Big Fun 2! From lasers & hovercrafts to dry ice rainbows & holding flames, this science show is perfect for schools wanting students to discover more about our world! Designed for large audiences from grades 7 to 10, this show is cost-effective, easy to arrange and is a sure winner with the students! Trustpilot “It was seamless from start to finish. Ben the presenter was knowledgeable and really funny. He focused on energy which is the topic we are doing so the whole show was terrific. I thought the pracs were relevant and appropriate for the age group.” – Yarra Valley Grammar Quick Links Past projects Requirements Cost per Science Show Free Science Resources Back to Secondary Science Incursions 150 Free Experiments Fizzics in the Media Australian Curriculum Mapping for all science workshops & shows Australian ACARA Content Outcomes: PW1 Change to an object’s motion is caused by unbalanced forces acting on the object (ACSSU117). PW2 The action of forces that act at a distance may be observed and related to everyday situations. PW3 Energy appears in different forms including movement (kinetic energy), heat and potential energy, and causes change within systems (ACSSU155). CW1 The properties of the different states of matter can be explained in terms of the motion and arrangement of particles (ACSSU151). CW2 Scientific knowledge and developments in technology have changed our understanding of the structure and properties of matter. The motion of objects can be described and predicted using the laws of physics (ACSSU229) Energy conservation in a system can be explained by describing energy transfers and transformations (ACSSU190) Australian National Curriculum Mapping for all our science workshops & shows NSW SCIENCE SYLLABUS CONTENT for all our incursions NSW K – 10 Science Syllabus mapping for all our incursions NSW Science Syllabus Content: A student: develops knowledge of the Physical World, Earth and Space, Living World and Chemical World, and understanding about the nature, development, use and influence of science (SC4-10PW). describes the observed properties and behaviour of matter, using scientific models and theories about the motion and arrangement of particles (SC4-16CW). describes the action of unbalanced forces in everyday situations (SC4-10PW). applies models, theories and laws to explain situations involving energy, force and motion (SC5-10PW).

Magic money trick How can a $1 US bill survive a flame? A classic 'magic trick' Disappearing water Test student's observation & deduction skills as we expose this street science trick All Aglow Discover the energy levels in different lasers using glowing photo-luminescent vinyl Colour my fire Learn the chemistry of fireworks as we create colourful flames on stage Whoosh bottle An experiment that sounds just like it is named! Screaming rod A classic demonstration of high pitch & fast vibrations... cover your ears! Can crusher We use atmospheric pressure to crush cans in a flash Balloon in a vacuum What happens to a balloon when you remove air around it? Expand-a-foam Watch the foam rise and rise as it's subjected to low pressure Elephants toothpaste So many students ask for this experiment... lets make it big! Dry ice rainbow A giant column of changing colours... it's all about acids & bases! Hovercraft This can lift a student! Feedback on the Big Science school incursion Trustpilot Requirements Appropriate for Years 7 to 10 with a maximum of 240 students per science show The show is adjusted when run for younger audiences, concentrating more on sound & forces Access to 2 electrical power sockets and 3 tables Chairs are not required Duration 60 minutes, set up time 45 minutes and pack up time 45 minutes Ability to turn off your fire alarms if we are to run fire demonstrations We will need your room able to be darkened to run some of the sound demonstrations * experiments may vary depending on the average age of the audience and the constraints of the location During Social Distancing – Contact us and we’ll tailor a program to suit both your school and the State’s social distancing requirements.
