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 K to 6, 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 Primary Science Visits 150 Free Experiments Fizzics in the Media Australian Curriculum Mapping for all science workshops & shows Australian National Curriculum Mapping for all our science workshops & shows Australian ACARA Content Outcomes: The way objects move depends on a variety of factors, including their size and shape (ACSSU005). Objects are made of materials that have observable properties (ACSSU003). A push or a pull affects how an object moves or changes shape (ACSSU033). Light and sound are produced by a range of sources and can be sensed (ACSSU020). Heat can be produced in many ways and can move from one object to another (ACSSU049). Forces can be exerted by one object on another through direct contact or from a distance (ACSSU076). Changes to materials can be reversible, such as melting, freezing, evaporating; or irreversible, such as burning and rusting (ACSSU095). Solids, liquids and gases have different observable properties and behave in different ways (ACSSU077) NSW SCIENCE SYLLABUS CONTENT for all our incursions NSW K – 10 Science Syllabus mapping for all our incursions NSW Science Syllabus Content: A student: STe-5PW-ST observes the way objects move and relates changes in motion to push and pull forces ST1-8PW-S describes common forms of energy and explores some characteristics of sound energy ST1-9PW-ST investigates how forces and energy are used in products ST2-6MW-S describes how adding or removing heat causes a change of state ST2-8PW-ST describes the characteristics and effects of common forms of energy, such as light and heat ST2-9PW-ST describes how contact and non-contact forces affect an object’s motion ST3-6MW-S explains the effect of heat on the properties and behaviour of materials ST3-7MW-T explains how the properties of materials determines their use for a range of purposes ST3-8PW-ST explains how energy is transformed from one form to another ST3-9PW-ST investigates the effects of increasing or decreasing the strength of a specific contact or non-contact force NSW K – 10 Science Syllabus mapping for all our incursions Victorian F – 10 Science Curriculum The way objects move depends on a variety of factors including their size and shape: a push or a pull affects how an object moves or changes shape (VCSSU048) Light and sound are produced by a range of sources and can be sensed (VCSSU049) Respond to and pose questions, and make predictions about familiar objects and events (VCSIS050) Heat can be produced in many ways and can move from one object to another; a change in the temperature of an object is related to the gain or loss of heat by the object (VCSSU063) Forces can be exerted by one object on another through direct contact or from a distance (VCSSU064) Solids, liquids and gases behave in different ways and have observable properties that help to classify them (VCSSU076) Changes to materials can be reversible, including melting, freezing, evaporating, or irreversible, including burning and rusting (VCSSU077) Light from a source forms shadows and can be absorbed, reflected and refracted (VCSSU080) Print a PDF which details K to 6 mapping of all our science visits School Testimonials View All St Peter's Campus Maitland Feedback on: Big Science Big Fun I just wanted to pass on how wonderful we thought Jeanette was. She was a vibrant and enthusiastic presenter, she engaged the students really well and was very professional throughout the session. It was a pleasure to have her present to our students. St. Benedict’s Catholic Primary School, Mango Hill Feedback on: Big Science Big Fun I just wanted to say thank you to Harley who came out to St. Benedict’s Primary school. What a fantastic experience for the children and teachers alike. We had a wonderful learning experience and he was a credit to your company. Science Show Demonstrations Burning hands Seriously, how can someone hold a flame in their hand? 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! Slinky Shake A visual depiction on how soundwaves propagate through the air. Straw Flute A simple yet effective way of demonstrating a standing wave. Students love it! Elephant Tube Large tubes that resonate loudly whilst emulating how frogs croak. Very funny! Screaming rod A classic demonstration of high pitch & fast vibrations... cover your ears! Screaming cans A simple experiment that students can do at home Rubens Tube Watch the flames dance along to music! 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!
