Yes — and more importantly, it is delivered by a current NSW classroom teacher with 30 years of teaching experience. This is not a generic demonstration program. The Liquid Nitrogen Science Theatre is intentionally structured to support: States of matter Particle behaviour Energy transfer Changes of state Pressure and gas expansion Working Scientifically skills Each performance is adjusted to the stage level attending (Stage 1–3), ensuring concepts are explained clearly — not just shown dramatically. Curriculum mapping documentation is available for teachers who require it.

The show is adaptable for: Stage 1 (Years 1–2) Stage 2 (Years 3–4) Stage 3 (Years 5–6) The advantage of having an experienced teacher is that explanations and questioning are adjusted depending on the audience.

Standard theatre sessions run for approximately 45–60 minutes. Extended sessions are available for larger staged productions or whole-school theatre events.

How many students can attend? Audience size depends on the format selected. We intentionally cap numbers in the Essentials format to preserve engagement and visibility. Larger numbers are best suited to the Expanded or Full Production formats, where staging is scaled accordingly. We prioritise experience quality over squeezing numbers into a room. We offer three production formats: Theatre Essentials Up to 60 students Compact staged setup Theatre Expanded Up to 150 students Multi-table theatrical experience Full School Production Large assembly or special event format Custom audience size depending on venue We’re happy to advise on the best format for your space.

What space and setup is required? For the Essentials format: A hall, library or large classroom Clear front area approx. 3m x 3m Access to power Good ventilation Expanded and Full Production formats may require: Stage or hall setup Larger performance space

Yes. All demonstrations are conducted by an experienced NSW classroom teacher with over 30 years of teaching experience. The show is: Fully risk-assessed Public liability insured Delivered with strict safety protocols Audience kept at safe viewing distances Liquid nitrogen is handled professionally and responsibly at all times. A full risk assessment can be provided upon request.

They participate. Deeply. This is not a “sit quietly and watch the science man” performance. Students: • Predict what will happen before experiments • Come on stage to assist with demonstrations • Handle large-scale equipment (where appropriate) • Justify their thinking aloud • Use real scientific vocabulary • Explain cause and effect in real time As teachers know: “Tell me and I forget. Show me and I remember. Involve me and I understand.” I involve them. Throughout the session, as many students as safely possible are invited up to assist with demonstrations — holding equipment, testing ideas, launching experiments, or helping reveal results. The science is wrapped in: • High-impact visual moments • Humour • Narrative storytelling • Big specialised equipment (giant balloons, dinosaur fossils, large-scale apparatus) The result? Students don’t just see science. They experience it. And experiences are what stick. This isn’t passive entertainment. It’s unforgettable, curriculum-driven learning disguised as an amazing show.

This is science theatre — not a generic demonstration. Many programs simply perform experiments. This production is designed to: Build conceptual understanding Ask structured prediction questions Reinforce scientific reasoning Scale explanation to student level Combine theatrical spectacle with educational depth Delivered by an experienced teacher who has taught in classrooms for 30 years — not a performer reading from a script. The difference is visible within minutes.

Absolutely. The Liquid Nitrogen Science Theatre can support units involving: States of matter Heating and cooling Energy transfer Scientific investigation Physical change Pre- and post-show discussion prompts can be provided to strengthen integration into your program.

Choosing the Right Format for Your Students This is not a one-size-fits-all science show. Different group sizes create different learning experiences. Smaller groups allow for: • Greater student participation • Deeper questioning and discussion • Stronger conceptual understanding Larger groups create: • High-energy shared experiences • Whole-school engagement • Memorable science moments We help you choose the format that best supports your learning goals, space and timetable. Theatre Essentials Up to 60 students From $790 incl. GST Best for: Smaller groups, deeper learning, maximum participation A compact but powerful theatre-style science experience featuring: • Strong focus on student prediction and questioning • High interaction and participation opportunities • Clear, curriculum-aligned explanations • Forces & motion demonstrated through engaging experiments This format suits smaller halls, libraries, and single-class or stage groups. It prioritises depth of understanding over scale. Theatre Expanded Up to 150 students From $950 incl. GST Best for: Stage groups, balanced engagement and impact A larger, multi-demo science experience including: • Expanded demonstration sequence exploring forces in action • Greater visual scale and audience energy • Increased opportunities for student involvement • Strong links to NSW Science & Technology (2024) outcomes Ideal for stage-based groups or combined classes. This format provides the best balance between engagement, scale and learning impact. Most schools choose this option for maximum value and learning impact. Full School Production Up to 240 students per session From $1,750 incl. GST Best for: Whole-school events, science days, and large assemblies A high-impact science theatre production featuring: • Large-scale demonstrations of forces, motion and energy • Whole-school engagement with memorable visual moments • Structured questioning to maintain learning focus • Strong curriculum alignment delivered at scale Designed for large audiences while still maintaining clear explanations and learning connections. This is a premium, high-production science experience — not just a show, but a school-wide science event. Important Note All formats are designed to maximise learning outcomes — The difference is in group size, level of interaction, and production scale. Many schools choose stage-based sessions (60–150 students) to maximise student participation and learning depth.
