Click here for the primary school version Trustpilot Online Class Version We’ve run live interactive distance programs since 2010 and are highly experienced in making online classes engaging for students on a variety of web conferencing platforms. All of the activities listed below will be covered during the conference. Upon booking, you will receive a PDF outlining the materials that you can have on hand to make the workshop more interactive. It’s not a problem if you can’t source all of the materials, as we’ll have these on hand for the workshop Full child protections are in place We usually connect to classes & homes via Zoom, however if you wish to use a different software we can work with you on getting the connection live. If you connect with us via Zoom Full system requirements for Zoom here Each student should test their Zoom connection here. Once the date & time is arranged we will send you simple connection instructions (one click & you’re in!)

CW2 – Scientific knowledge and developments in technology have changed our understanding of the structure and properties of matter. CW3 – Mixtures, including solutions, contain a combination of pure substances that can be separated using a range of techniques (ACSSU113). CW4 – In a chemical change, new substances are formed, which may have specific properties related to their uses in everyday life. Chemical change involves substances reacting to form new substances (ACSSU225). Stage 5 CW3 – Chemical reactions involve rearranging atoms to form new substances; during a chemical reaction mass is not created or destroyed (ACSSU178). CW4 – Different types of chemical reactions are used to produce a range of products and can occur at different rates and involve energy transfer (ACSSU187). Chemical reactions, including combustion and the reactions of acids, are important in both non-living and living systems and involve energy transfer (ACSSU179) Australian National Curriculum Mapping for all our science workshops & shows NSW SCIENCE SYLLABUS CONTENT for all our incursions NSW K – 10 Science Syllabus mapping for all our incursions NSW Science Syllabus Content A student: describes the observed properties and behaviour of matter, using scientific models and theories about the motion and arrangement of particles (SC4-16CW). explains how scientific understanding of, and discoveries about, the properties of elements, compounds and mixtures relate to their uses in everyday life (SC4-17CW). explains how models, theories and laws about matter have been refined as new scientific evidence becomes available (SC5-16CW). discusses the importance of chemical reactions in the production of a range of substances, and the influence of society on the development of new materials (SC5-17CW).

It was a full day of 5 workshops - The Liquid Nitrogen Show, The Chemistry Show and The Stars and Planets Show. We couldn't be more pleased with Holly's professional manner and easy going nature. She made her verbal explanations accessible to the students and catered each workshop right at the level of our students intellectual capabilities and behavioural needs. Holly's vast knowledge and great enthusiasm for all things scientific was evident and truly helped to keep our students engaged and interested for each 40 minute workshop. Keeping our students engaged for this length of time is difficult at the best of times. But for Holly to be an unknown educator to our students in a subject which many of our students find boring and she could still manage to keep them behaving and listening is credit to her wonderful capacity as an educator. The students truly appreciated the knowledge they have gained and the fun they had watching such innovative and exciting experiments. To invite Fizzics Education into our school community to provide these experiences for our students is absolutely necessary and much appreciated.
