Giant Science Show

Explosions, fireballs, giant bubbles & more!

The perfect way to get students excited about science. It’s fast-paced and engaging, covering a wide range of scientific topics and ideas. See giant bubbles, fireballs, elephants’ toothpaste and much more! Students also get the chance to step into the spotlight, assisting in a range of exciting demonstrations that make learning both educational and entertaining.

Details

Level: Kindergarten to Year 6

Duration: 60 minutes

Capacity: Maximum 150 students

Price: $500 per show (at capacity this equates to $3.33 per student).

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

All of our presenters are registered to work with vulnerable people and our shows are fully insured and risk assessed.

The show is adjusted to suit the age of the audience. This means that some demonstrations and explanations will vary between shows.

45 minutes is required before and after shows for set up & pack down. If multiple shows are being performed on the same day, 45 minutes is required between shows to reset.

Fire demonstrations require the fire alarm system to be isolated or turned off. If this is not possible, contact us to discuss options.

Australian Curriculum Version 9.0

Foundation

AC9SFU03 - recognise that objects can be composed of different materials and describe the observable proprieties of those materials.

AC9SFI01 - pose questions and make predictions based on experiences.

Year 1

AC9S1U03 - describe pushes and pulls in terms of strength and direction and predict the effect of these forces on objects’ motion and shape.

AC9S1H01 - describe how people use science in their daily lives, including using patterns to make scientific predictions.

AC9S1I01 - pose questions to explore observed simple patterns and relationships and make predictions based on experiences.

Year 2

AC9S2U02 - explore different actions to make sounds and how to make a variety of sounds, and recognise that sound energy causes objects to vibrate.

AC9S2I01 - pose questions to explore observed simple patterns and relationships

and make predictions based on experiences.

Year 3

AC9S3U03 - identify sources of heat energy and examine how temperature changes when heat energy is transferred from one object to another.

AC9S3I01 - pose questions to explore observed patterns and relationships and make predictions based on observations.

Year 4

AC9S4U03 - identify how forces can be exerted by one object on another and investigate the effect of frictional, gravitational and magnetic forces on the motion of objects.

AC9S4I01 - pose questions to explore observed patterns and relationships and make predictions based on observations.

Year 5

AC9S5U04 - explain observable properties of solids, liquids and gases by modelling the motion and arrangement of particles.

AC9S5I01 - pose investigable questions to identify patterns and test relationships and make reasoned predictions.

Year 6

AC9S6U03 - investigate the transfer and transformation of energy in electrical circuits, including the role of circuit components, insulators and conductors.
