Liquid Nitrogen Show

Science at −196 °C!

A cool show full of chilling demonstrations, the perfect way to get students excited about science. We'll smash, shrink and explode a variety of household objects, discover how solids, liquids and gasses change state in exciting and unexpected ways, learn how freezing affects living things and temperature changes the weather. 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 100 students

Price: $500 per show (at capacity this equates to $5 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 min set up & pack down times are required. If multiple shows are being performed on the same day, 45 mins reset time is required between shows.

The Liquid Nitrogen Show can only be performed in areas with good ventilation.

Foundation

AC9SFI01 - pose questions and make predictions based on experiences.

AC9SFI04 - compare observations with predictions with guidance.

AC9SFI05 - share questions, predictions, observations and ideas with others.

Year 1

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

AC9S2U03 - recognise that materials can be changed physically without changing their material composition and explore the effect of different actions on materials including bending, twisting, stretching and breaking into smaller pieces.

AC9S2H01 - describe how people use science in their daily lives, including using patterns to make scientific predictions.

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.

AC9S3U04 - investigate the observable properties of solids and liquids and how adding or removing heat energy leads to a change of state.

AC9S3H02 - consider how people use scientific explanations to meet a need or solve a problem.

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

Year 4

AC9S4H02 - consider how people use scientific explanations to meet a need or solve a problem.

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

AC9S6U04 - compare reversible changes, including dissolving and changes of state, and irreversible changes, including cooking and rusting that produce new substances.
