…tick, tick BOOM! A fun science show performance where we blow stuff up! In the name of science of course :) Enquire Now Exactly what the students want! Isn’t it just? What better way to get kids into science than to do the stuff they want to see! Originally designed to be run at the Powerhouse Museum, this large stage performance gets noisy as we explore the science behind explosions and explain why chemical safety is so important. This is not just a series of tricks though, our experienced presenter will cover a multitude of concepts: air pressure differentials. exothermic vs endothermic chemical reactions. the effect of surface area on reaction rates combustion requirements. properties of liquid nitrogen applications of controlled explosions and more… Ideal for schools that want a professional large stage performance in their school hall, with an added bonus that a show catering up to 240 students at a time is also more economical per student. Excite the students to get back into science or simply end the year with a BANG!
