Liquid Nitrogen Show Investigate properties of materials in this "cool" performance. Enquire Now Students have the opportunity to assist in the many cool liquid nitrogen demonstrations Find out how solids, liquids and gases change when rapidly heated and cooled. Smash a tennis ball! Shrink a balloon instantly! What happens to living things if they are frozen? How can Newton’s 3rd Law of Motion explain a liquid nitrogen sprinkler? Explore Charles Law using popping cans and expanding balloons. Just what is the Leidenfrost effect anyway and more… This science show covers phase changes, expansion and contraction, basic cell theory, air pressure and the weather. This performance can also be viewed as a LIVE web conference anywhere in the world! 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!)

(PW2) Cells are the basic units of living things and have specialised structures and functions (ACSSU149) The properties of the different states of matter can be explained in terms of the motion and arrangement of particles (ACSSU151) Australian National Curriculum Mapping for all our science workshops & shows NSW SCIENCE SYLLABUS CONTENT for all our incursions NSW Science 7–10 Syllabus A student: identifies questions and makes predictions to guide scientific investigations SC4-WS-02 explains how uses of elements and compounds are influenced by scientific understanding and discoveries relating to their properties SC4-PRT-01 communicates scientific arguments with evidence, using scientific language and terminology in a range of communication forms SC5-WS-08 assesses the uses of materials based on their physical and chemical properties SC5-MAT-01 describes a range of reaction types SC5-RXN-01 NSW K – 10 Science Syllabus mapping for all our incursions VIC Curriculum F–10 Version 2.0 the particle and kinetic theories of matter can be used to describe the arrangement and motion of particles in a substance, including the attraction between particles, and to explain the properties and behaviour of substances, including melting point, boiling point, density, compressibility, gas pressure, viscosity, diffusion, sublimation, and expansion and contraction. VC2S8U05 physical changes can be distinguished from chemical changes; a chemical change can be identified by a colour change, a temperature change, the production of a gas (including laboratory preparation and testing of oxygen, carbon dioxide and hydrogen gases) or the formation of a precipitate. VC2S8U08 balanced and unbalanced forces acting on objects, including gravitational force, may be investigated and represented using force diagrams; changes in an object’s motion can be related to its mass and the magnitude and direction of the forces acting on it. VC2S8U14 cell theory describes cells as the basic units of life; organisms may be unicellular or multicellular and have specialised structures and organelles (including cell walls, cell membranes, cytoplasm, nuclei containing DNA, mitochondria, ribosomes, chloroplasts and vacuoles) that perform specific functions. VC2S8U02 investigable questions, reasoned predictions and hypotheses can be developed in guiding investigations to identify patterns, test relationships and analyse and evaluate scientific models. VC2S8I01 scientific methods, conclusions and claims can be analysed to identify assumptions, possible sources of error, conflicting evidence and unanswered questions. VC2S8I06 evidence-based arguments can be constructed to support conclusions or evaluate claims, including consideration of ethical issues and protocols associated with using or citing secondary data or information. VC2S8I07 Newton’s laws of motion can be used to quantitatively analyse the relationship between force, mass and acceleration of objects. VC2S10U17 investigable questions, reasoned predictions and hypotheses can be used in guiding investigations to test and develop explanatory models and relationships. VC2S10I01 the validity and reproducibility of investigation methods and the validity of conclusions and claims can be evaluated, including by identifying assumptions, conflicting evidence, biases that may influence observations and conclusions, sources of error and areas of uncertainty. VC2S10I06 arguments based on a variety of evidence can be constructed to support conclusions or evaluate claims, including consideration of any ethical issues and cultural protocols associated with accessing, using or citing secondary data or information.

He was very engaging and was able to answer student questions. He looked like he genuinely enjoyed what he was doing which created a great atmosphere! The show was very informative and engaging! We would highly recommend Ben and the show to any of our colleagues! George Anderson Warpole School Feedback on: Liquid nitrogen show for secondary The show was interesting and entertaining. Students were captured. It totally engaged the students. Visually encapsulating. Science Show Demonstrations Safety of cryogenic substances Liquid Nitrogen is - 196˚C, so what equipment must be used? Fog breath Is water present in your breath? Condensation demonstration. The shrinking balloon What happens to gases when rapidly cooled? Air pressure demo Balloon blow up Blowing balloons up from the outside! Transferring heat energy. Lid launcher Expanding gases have a lot of force - why can this be a problem? The flyingglove Heating gases causes rapid expansion! Ball smasher Why can rubber shatter? Glass transition phase demonstration Banana hammer Can plant material survive instant freezing? Liquid Nitrogensprinkler! Rapid expansion of Nitrogen can be utilised - what about water? Cool lasers How are lasers used in atmospheric research? Frozen bubbles Bubbles can give clues about our changing environment. Cooling circuits Proving chemical reactions slow when cooled. Leidenfrost effect Rapidly boiling liquids can hover over surfaces… how?
