……with BIG demonstrations?

This show examines many light concepts such as:

• What is light?
• What are waves and their features?
• Light waves we can see and waves we can NOT see.
• Shadows (day / night, umbras, penumbra, eclipses)
• Coloured Shadows (colour addition & subtraction)
• How do we detect light and other EM waves?
• Uses of em waves (radio, UV, IR, visible, X-rays)

The concepts are presented in a highly theatrical manner and use many children from the audience to increase interest and enhance concept descriptions.

We use the BEST equipment around to convey the concepts and make them:

• BIG
• High quality and therefore easy to understand

We use high quality light set-ups for colour mixing, colour addition & subtraction ideas coupled with theatrical and innovative instructional methods. The kids will NOT forget the coloured Ninja’s!

The science of light is explored starting from the basics of shadows. We use BIG materials and audience members to explain shadow science and applications such as umbra, penumbra, eclipses and more. We even talk about other astronomy concepts (day, night, Earth spin, axis of rotation, Summer / winter shadows and how this was used by ancient people to plant crops etc)

We introduce the concept of light being made up of coloured wavelengths of light and linking it to Newton’s experiments. Mixing history stories and using coloured ninja’s really allow the kids to understand how science worked out the mysteries of coloured light.

Coloured Ninja’s help the audience understand light shadows, colour mixing (addition and subtraction)

    

We have the BIGGEST  Mobile Plasma Globe in Australia.

You don‘t need to go to a museum to touch and experience plasma globes bigger than your head!

We have a massive globe that you can touch, explore and even make fluro bulbs glow without plugging them in!

As usual, we don’t settle for small materials that anyone can buy, we search the world and get the BIGGEST to blow your brain cells away with amazing science that is just ‘Magic’

The Plasma Globe is used to explain:

• How light is made with electricity
• Plasma (the 4th state of matter)
• Making light with invisible EM waves
• Short circuits and more!

Our MASSIVE concave mirror (60cm diameter) is used to et the kids interested in our we use light to bounce

(reflect) off surfaces in real life. This mirror makes the kids heads real BIG and helps explain mirror concepts like reflection, focal point, inverted images and more.

We get the crowd INVOLVED!

We use BIG lenses along with our mirrors and the state of the art refraction laser tank to illustrate and discuss the science of:

• Magnification and lenses
• Refraction, total internal reflection
• Optical fibres
• Reflection & light houses
