Freeze Curiosity. Ignite Scientific Thinking.

Curriculum-Aligned | Stage Adaptable | High Impact

This 45–60 minute Liquid Nitrogen science incursion is designed specifically for NSW primary schools and aligns directly with the NSW Science & Technology (2024) syllabus.

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

Through dramatic demonstrations and structured scientific inquiry, students explore:

• Changes of state
• Rapid temperature change
• Gas expansion and pressure
• Energy transfer
• Material properties under extreme conditions

Unlike a generic “science performance,” this is a teacher-designed learning experience.

Students don’t just watch.

They predict.
They observe.
They explain.

And 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.

Question

Predict

Observe

Explain

This reinforces Working Scientifically.

Unlike tabletop demonstrations, our Liquid Nitrogen Show uses high-volume cryogenic systems and staged safety zones to create a truly immersive science experience.

Signature Demonstrations & Scientific Concepts

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

And That’s Just the Beginning…

All demonstrations are intentionally grouped around key science concepts and syllabus-aligned outcomes.

 

Matter & State Changes: Liquid Breath™, Neptune Fog Geysers, Expanding

                                            Chicken
→ States of matter, rapid temperature change, particle behaviour.

 

Explosions & Pressure: Milo Lid Blast-Off, Buzz Lightyear Explosions, LN       

                                         Helicopter
                                         → Gas expansion, pressure build-up, force and   

                                         motion.

Frozen vs Shattered: Larry the Lettuce Smash, Flying Dragon Eggs
                                        → Material properties, brittleness, energy transfer at

                                       low temperatures.

And that’s just the start — book now to see over 20 thrilling liquid nitrogen experiments LIVE in your school hall!

What NSW Schools Say About the Liquid Nitrogen Show

Real feedback from NSW schools following our curriculum-aligned Liquid Nitrogen incursions.

The show was really engaging. I loved how patient and enthusiastic the Crazy Scientist was with our students.

 

I’ve never seen them so comfortable and happy during a science show.

Why This Is Not a Typical Science Incursion

Unlike small tabletop demonstrations, this is a full-scale cryogenic theatre experience.

 

We don’t arrive with one bench and a few props.

We deliver a staged, high-impact science event designed for visibility, engagement, and curriculum depth.

What We Bring to Your School

• Multiple equipment systems — not a single demo table
• Large-volume liquid nitrogen dewars for true theatrical impact
• A dedicated smash & shatter station (lettuce, objects, floor demos)
• Professional cryogenic safety systems
• Purpose-built staging layout for whole-school assemblies
• Branded science theatre visuals

This is not a small tabletop demonstration.

It’s a curriculum-driven cryogenic spectacle designed for primary schools.

For Schools Wanting More Than a One-Off Show

Strategic School Science Partnerships

  • Schools partnering for weekly science programs receive:

  • • Priority theatre show booking
    • Strategic enrichment alignment across stages
    • Discounted rates for multiple events
    • Long-term STEM planning support

  • That sounds strategic, not clubby.

  • It elevates you above “incursion provider” and positions you as a curriculum partner.

  • That’s how you differentiate without naming competitors.
