NSW Science & Technology Syllabus Aligned

Stage 1–3 Differentiated

Risk Assessment Provided

Pre & Post Learning Resources Available

Spark Curiosity. Deepen Scientific Thinking.

Curriculum-Aligned | Stage Adaptable | High Impact

This high-energy 45-minute science show is designed specifically for NSW primary schools and aligns directly with the NSW Science & Technology K–6 syllabus.

Each session is carefully adapted for Stage 1, Stage 2 or Stage 3 — adjusting vocabulary, conceptual depth and questioning to suit your students.

Through theatrical demonstrations and structured scientific inquiry, students explore:

• Push and pull forces

• Friction and air resistance

• Gravity and motion

• Newton’s Laws in action

• Energy transfer and engineering thinking

Unlike a general “science performance”, this is a teacher-designed learning experience. With nearly three decades of classroom teaching experience, The Crazy Scientist combines theatrical engagement with real curriculum understanding — ensuring students don’t just watch science…

 

They think scientifically.

What Students Experience

Students don’t sit passively, they get up on stage & do experiments. They predict, test ideas, explain observations and apply scientific language. Each demonstration is structured around questioning, evidence and real-world application.

Observe

Explain

This reinforces Working Scientifically.

Signature Demonstrations & Scientific Concepts

Each demonstration is structured around prediction, observation, explanation and real-world application — reinforcing Working Scientifically skills across Stage 1–3.

Octopus Attack

Students see invisible electric forces move objects without contact.

🔵🟣🟢

Rocket Launch Party!

Students predict how force affects motion and distance.

🟣🟢

AirZooka Blast Off!

Students test how air can move objects without touching them.

🔵🟣🟢

Toilet Paper Dance

Students observe how moving air can transfer energy and create lift, causing lightweight objects to rise, twist and swirl.

🔵🟣🟢

Breezy Challenge!

Students investigate how air can create force and move objects using pressure and breath power.

🔵🟣🟢

Floating Balloon Fun

Students observe how air resistance keeps a ball suspended.
