I just wanted to say that he was absolutely OUTSTANDING. One of the best presenters to kids I have seen. He was engaging and explained everything to the students! They were talking about it all day! Science Show Demonstrations Flying Tinsel It's almost like magic... but it's all about static! Instant Snow So fluffy... and we can use it to make water disappear Boomwhacker Christmas Carols The science of sound! Santa's Reindeer Toothpaste A Christmas version of Elephant's toothpaste Glowing Christmas Tree Amazing to see! Power up the Sleigh! A dynamo that keep the lights on Twinkle twinkle red & green stars Splitting laser light to form beautiful patterns Vortex ring halos Make vortex halo rings fly through the room! Bubbling balloon decorations Instantly blow up balloons for Christmas The balancing present How on Earth can it do that? Giant bubbles Just because we can! Rubens Tube Christmas Carols Sing along to your favourite songs that are played through fire! Red & Green Coloured Flames Flame chromatography with a seasonal twist Don't set your Christmas tree on fire! This fireball teaches you why Fog clouds With a little liquid nitrogen, we make it look like winter! Science show content What Students Experience: Festive Science in Action This show turns holiday preparations into a series of thrilling scientific investigations. We move through the “Christmas To-Do List,” using physics and chemistry to solve festive challenges in front of a live audience. 🎄 Decorating & Lighting We start by getting the tree ready! Students explore electromagnetism to light up the Christmas tree and use Bernoulli’s principle to decorate the branches. We even create a “White Christmas” instantly using super-absorbent polymers to make instant snow. 🎁 Presents & Preparation Next, we investigate the centre of balance with balancing presents and demonstrate inertia with the classic tablecloth pull. No fireplace? No problem—we use chemistry to create a hearth of coloured flames. [Image of metal ions flame test colours] 🎶 Carols & Resonance The show finishes with a festive symphony. We explore sound energy by playing carols through local vibration and use Boomwhackers to demonstrate how length affects pitch and resonance.
