A fantastic school chemistry show with flare!

See bubbling dry ice, colour changing chemical reactions, screaming jelly babies, growing crystals, glow in the dark pigments, elephants toothpaste, stringy slimes, exploding powder, different coloured flames, super hot and super cold chemical reactions and more!
Yes, there is even a volcano... but not with vinegar and bicarbonate soda!

Primary school chemistry show!

Show demonstrations

Elephants toothpaste A foaming chemical reaction that needs a 'helper' chemical
Dry ice rainbows See colours form in water when an acid indicator is added
Impossible to burn paper An old magic trick, showing that evaporation keeps materials cool
The blue bottle A spectacular chemical change from clear to blue
Screaming jelly baby There is a lot of sugar in jelly babies... what it get reacted violently!
Water into wine into beer A classic demo that shows chemical reactions always have a change
Coloured flames Different materials burn with different colours.. link to fireworks
Explosive powder Some chemical reactions need very little energy to start
Volcano A smoking demonstration!
Super hot thermite A extremely hot reaction used in metallurgy
Growing crystals Watch crystals form instantly and see why some rocks have crystals
The fire triangle Oxygen is needed for fires,... let's prove it
Slimy strings Made from a chemical found in seaweed... it's in your ice cream too!
Cold chemistry Some reactions get hot, whilst this one get's cold

 
Requirements

- Appropriate for Years 3 to 6 with a maximum of 90 students per class

- Access to 1 electrical power socket and 3 tables. Chairs are not required.

- Duration 60 minutes, set up time 60 minutes and pack up time 60 minutes

- We need 15 minutes to re-stock the materials between shows

Cost

- $275 inc. GST per performance... having 90 students brings the cost to $3 per student!
- This performance can also be viewed as a live web conference using your interactive whiteboard.
- The cost for video conference sessions are $110 inc. GST and can be arranged with our office.

For schools outside of Sydney please contact us to discuss how this workshop can visit your school as part of a regional visit

Unlike others we don't charge per student as we know that this causes an additional administrative load on your school office. Most schools tend to fill the workshops based on our recommended maximum number of students. If you have any questions please contact us.

Syllabus Outcomes: Science and Technology

Earth and its Surroundings

A student:

ES 3.6: recognises that the Earth is the source of most materials and resources, and describes phenomena and processes, both natural and human, that form and change the Earth over time.

Physical Phenomena

A student:

PP S3.4: identifies and applies processes involved in manipulating, using and changing the form of energy

Designed to cover a broad range of chemical concepts that is accessible to primary students.

- kitchen chemistry found at home
- physical changes vs. chemical reactions
- acids vs bases and indicators to detect them
- acid rain
- the chemistry of fireworks
- properties of solids, liquids and gases
- UV light and glowing chemicals
- energy changes and more...
