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 Science and Technology K–6 Syllabus (Implementation from 2027) For explanatory points & implementation advice for each dot point, please visit the NESA Science and Technology K–6 Curriculum site STE-SCI-01 identifies and describes characteristics of living things, properties of materials, and movement – Recognise that properties of materials can be observed using the senses – Observe and manipulate materials to describe their properties using Tier 2 vocabulary – Pose questions about materials and describe how they are used in everyday objects STE-PQU-01 poses questions based on observations to collect data ST1-SCI-01 measures and describes changes in living things, materials, movement, Earth and the sky – Recognise that a force is a push or a pull that can make things either start moving, stop moving, change speed, direction or shape – Pose questions and test the effects of forces on an object’s movement – Recognise that light and sound can travel through air, water and some solids and are affected by those materials – Recognise that sound is created and carried by vibrations – Test how different materials and actions affect the volume and pitch of sound ST1-PQU-01 poses questions based on observations and information to investigate cause and effect ST2-SCI-01 uses information to investigate the solar system and the effects of energy on living, physical and geological systems – Recognise that matter is anything that has mass, takes up space and consists of very small particles – Observe examples of matter that exist as a solid, which has a defined shape and volume; a liquid, which has a definite volume but not a definite shape; and a gas, which has neither a definite shape nor a definite volume – Observe and describe water changing from solid to liquid to gas and back again, using Tier 2 and Tier 3 vocabulary – Describe how adding and removing heat energy affects the movement and arrangement of particles when matter is changing state – Recognise that heat energy can be transferred from warmer to cooler objects by conduction, convection and radiation – Pose questions and conduct fair tests to compare how different materials absorb or reflect heat energy – Describe how the properties of materials and transfer of heat energy impact everyday life ST2-PQU-01 poses questions to create fair tests that investigate the effects of energy on living things and physical systems ST3-PQU-01 poses questions to identify variables and conducts fair tests to gather data – Recognise that in a fair test, an independent variable is changed, a dependent variable is measured, and controlled variables remain the same NSW K – 10 Science Syllabus mapping for all our incursions Print a PDF which details K to 6 mapping of all our science visits Victorian F – 10 Science Curriculum VIC F – 6 Science Syllabus mapping for all our incursions 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 P to 6 mapping of all our VIC 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.
