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!)

Ben was great! 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? Levitating magnets See the power within superconductors; future research in action Feedback about this school science show Trustpilot Requirements Appropriate for Years 7 to 10.
