Forces & Motion Show — Primary School Incursion Sydney K-6

Yes — every part of this show is designed around the NSW K–6 Science & Technology syllabus. Each demonstration is carefully structured to develop: • Working Scientifically skills • Cause-and-effect understanding • Scientific vocabulary • Prediction and reasoning This is not a generic performance — it’s curriculum-driven learning brought to life through high-impact demonstrations.

Designed for Stage 1–3 (K–6). ✔ Stage 1 – Foundations of forces and motion ✔ Stage 2 – Friction, air resistance, contact & non-contact forces ✔ Stage 3 – Energy transfer, Newton’s Laws and engineering thinking ✔ Whole-school assemblies available (with layered explanations) Content, language and questioning are adjusted in real time to suit your students.

Standard session: 45–60 minutes. Multiple sessions can be scheduled on the same day to suit your timetable. We work around your school schedule to minimise disruption and maximise learning time.

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.

• School hall or large indoor space • Access to one standard power outlet • 30-minute setup time • 30-minute pack down time A detailed Technical Rider is provided after booking.

Yes. All demonstrations are professionally managed and age-appropriate. Safety distances and supervision guidelines are followed 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.

Most science incursions are delivered by presenters or science communicators. This program is designed and performed by a NSW classroom teacher with 30 years of teaching experience across primary and secondary education. That changes everything. This is not a scripted performance. It is curriculum-driven learning delivered live. Every session is: • Built around NSW Science & Technology (2024) outcomes • Structured around inquiry, prediction and reasoning • Adapted in real time to your students’ responses • Designed to strengthen Working Scientifically skills • Focused on vocabulary, cause-and-effect thinking and conceptual understanding Yes — the equipment is BIG and exciting. Dinosaur fossils. Giant air demonstrations. Specialised bubble and motion apparatus. But the spectacle serves the learning. Students don’t just watch experiments. They: • Predict • Justify their thinking • Explain outcomes • Connect ideas to prior learning Principals choose this program because it supports teaching and learning — not just entertainment. This is curriculum-first science.

Yes. Many schools use this show to: • Launch a Forces unit • Consolidate learning • Support STEM initiatives • Enhance enrichment programs You’re welcome to share your focus areas prior to the visit.

Yes. Through the Curious Kids Program, schools can partner for weekly science clubs and enrichment programs across Years 3–6. This allows deeper alignment and continued skill development beyond a one-off show.

Yes — this program is fundamentally different from a standard “science show.” Many of the demonstrations used have been around for decades. What makes this program unique is how they are delivered. Each demonstration has been carefully reworked using current teaching pedagogy and refined through over 30 years of classroom experience. The result is a highly engaging science experience that doesn’t just entertain — it builds understanding, participation, and long-term retention. Students are guided through The Crazy Scientist Lab System™, a structured three-zone experience designed to develop clear conceptual understanding of how forces make things move, stop, and act without contact. This is not a “watch and react” performance — students are actively involved in predicting, observing, and explaining throughout the session. © The Crazy Scientist Pty Ltd.
