  • My son took his lava lamp to Bed with him in a container in case it leaked. He was very excited. Was a great day.

    D.Laws (parent)
  • The Crazy Scientist brought his Nitro-Tastic Show to Penrith Library in the July school holidays. Everyone was amazed as tennis balls and veggie heads were smashed on the ground.  The show was extremely interactive and exciting, you never knew what would happen next. 

    Elizabeth, Penrith City Library

  • Our Crazy Scientist friend has become a wonderful and much anticipated incursion for the children (and secretly the staff) during the last three years.  They have instilled a love for science and exploration within our children. I could not recommend The Crazy Scientist  more highly. Sally-Footsteps OOSH Coordinator
  • Great way to get kids involved in Science & History. Vomiting stomach..... loved it. Well Done. C.Watts
  • Marrickville Library loves the Crazy Scientist. Darin was professional in his presentation, funny and educational. Not many presenters can engage and keep the attention of kids for long periods of time yet Darin excels at this.  The kids absolutely loved him (even the big kidsJ). I would recommend the Crazy Scientist to anybody.

    Peter Main

  • The Crazy Scientist ran science workshops for Penrith Library in the January and April school holidays 2014 and they were a huge hit! Darin was engaging, knowledgeable and made science fun and cool for the children, explaining scientific concepts in a way they could understand. We will definitely be inviting Darin back. Elizabeth Barry, Penrith City Library

From the foul fermenting insides of your stomach, the importance of pH in swimming pools, soil and how pH is important in many household substances. They learn about chemical indicators and actually test materials using indicators in test tubes.

pH Scale Demonstration & Indicators

ph line1

  • We use our Terrific Test Tubes to maker a massive pH scale like NO other.
  • Coloured test tubes are used to demonstrate the idea of pH, Indicators  and MORE!
  • We demonstrate explosive reactions of what happens when acids react with metals!

Testing pH of Household Substances in ‘Style’!

pH station2 pH station1

  • The children examine various house hold substances using scientific equipment and chemicals while wearing our coloured lab coats and glasses.
  • They use a chemical indicator and compare results to charts to determine the pH of each substance and produce colourful test tubes of specific pH.

Mystery pH vials

pH Power front

  • Children test various ‘Mystery vials’ taken from sickening stomach acid juice, slippery saliva, saucy swimming pool water and smelly urine.
  • They test samples and find out their pH. We explain how their pH relates to their use/function in the Crazy world of Science!

 

Time

  • Our workshops go for 1.5hr NOT just an hour.
  • Children have time to really explore the concepts and are not rushed from one activity to another.

The Details

 Terrifying Killers and their Prey

 

woolly rhino horn1

Sabre Tooth Cat Skull

REAL life sized skull of the Sabre Tooth Tiger (Smilodon fatalis) fossil.  Place your head next to it and even your arm inside its jaws and learn about how this magnificent creature caught its prey and used its adaptations (teeth, skull structure and body musculature) to take down large prey.

Life Sized Mammoth Femur

You will learn about the Woolly Mammoth and similar sized extinct animals and stand next to our GIGANTIC fossil femur. This will really educate young minds on how BIG these creatures were.

BIG Woolly Rhino Horn

 

Our unique 1m Ice Age Woolly Rhino Horn is amazing.  This gigantic horn shows just how BIG this Rhino was and that it used it to defend from BIG predators.

 

 

The Great Dino-Skull Table

We have the largest amount of Dino Skulls around. We provide a dedicated table for the exploration of SIX  skulls all with hand lenses. Each dino skull comes with a detailed coloured HD info plate containing information the kids can understand.

 Info Plates that enhance learning

Kids need concrete visual and meaningful information with new information. Our plates contain the following features which enable all children to maximise their learning:

– coloured pictures of the dinosaur,

– visual scale comparisonsTriceratops card online

– essential information at a langauage approprite level.  

– some have measuring activities to challenge ‘inquiring minds”

Camarasaurus plate online

 

 

 

Hands-on Dino Cast Table

This table explores various plaster cast fossils that illustrate ‘whole body’ fossils each with HD coloured plates. There are 16 fossils at this table with hand lenses to explore which is enough for the biggest group of budding paleontologists.

Mini-Dino Head Challenge Table

At this table, the children do more than just look or read. They explore the connections between skull structure, adaptations, food type and more through digging and classifying the fossil skulls into categories. They learn and investigate all while being active and exploring scientific concepts and with no mess, as we use Kinetic-Sand. (kids love that experience in itself!)  

dinp head classification

Dino heads1

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We have recently added another Kinetic-Sand exploration table called “Prehistoric Skulls”. This activity is the same as the ‘Mini-dino Head Challenge’ table BUT they unearth many types of  extinct beast skulls such as Giant Killer Pig, Woolly Rhino, and many more.

This is the way  The Crazy Scientist® does things.

Prehistoric Skulls

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For the really small dino-hunters (pre-schoolers) we had added several different Dino types that they make 3D moulds using kinetic sand AND coloured play-dough. Highly kinaesthetic (hands-on learning) and FUN! They explore types of dinosaurs, herding behaviour and stability of walking.

Tooth / Claw match-up table

This table is like no other! In the usual Crazy Scientist style, hands-on learning meets highly engaging materials and FUN. This table has a massive amount of teeth and claws to examine and classify.

The children examine the fossilised teeth and claws and find their ‘Dino Partner Card’ (again with HD coloured info). They learn about structure and function of claws and teeth, types of eaters (herbivores, carnivores, piscivores and MORE).

Not only do we have fantastic Dino Teeth and claws, but also other GREAT BEASTS such as:

Sabre Tooth Tiger canine tooth

Megalodon Tooth (Biggest available)……. compare it to a real Great White Shark tooth!

Super-Croc Tooth

Ground Sloth Claw

– Spinosaurus Tooth

– Megaraptor Claw

and many, many MORE!

– Great thinking skills + observation = FUN learning.

 

Fossil Types Table

There are many types of fossils, even though most children think of fossil skeletons. It is at this table they explore the various types of fossils such as:

– Skin (we have two types of skin fossils)

– Hair (Real fossilised hair)

dino poo

Smell REAL Dino Poo

– Bone (Real fossilised Mammoth bone)

– Impressions (we have skin, footprints and plates)

– Dino Poo!

– Eggs

– Glyptodon Scute plates

and MORE!

 

 

Dino-Snot with a difference!

Forget cornflour slime here, it just does NOT cut it.  We want to make the BEST and most realistic snot around. What does Dino snot look like? Well we think it has the following features:

– Green (infected of course)

– Stringy

- Translucent

 

We use a special chemical that is 100% safe and non-toxic to make the stringiest and translucent slime. It really sticks to you and makes LONG stringy slime.

 

 

The Lot Shark Teeth on the white backroundfossil shark teeth gift1

 

 

Like all of the workshops run by The Crazy Scientist® , children get to take a FREE gift home that keeps them learning and being amazed by the wacky world of science.

Every child (6yr or older) get TWO REAL shark fossilised teeth to take home in a fantastic plastic test tube.  We don’t give the children a ‘pretend’ fossil that may rot away. (play-dough or similar), but a fossil that has lasted 5 million years and will last for many more years to come.

Depending on the location (you may find making Dino Snot is too messy for your caret), then we combine FUN learning with a dinosaur twist. We make Rock Strata Test Tubes in which we place your REAL shark tooth fossil. A great way to explore the fossilisation process while having FUN at the same time.
