A structured scientific demonstration program designed specifically for NSW Stage 4 and Stage 5 Science, delivered in an engaging, humorous and high-energy style that keeps secondary students genuinely focused.

This program is developed and presented by a 30-year experienced high school teacher of Chemistry and Physics, ensuring both conceptual depth and classroom relevance.

  • Rapid phase change and condensation

  • Gas expansion and pressure effects

  • Particle motion and kinetic energy changes

  • Thermal energy transfer in real time

  • Material properties at low temperature

  • Scientific risk management and safe laboratory procedure

Explicitly Aligned to the NSW Science 7–10 Syllabus (2023)

SC4-8WS / SC5-8WS
Processing and analysing scientific data

SC4-9PW / SC5-9PW
Forces and energy interactions

SC4-16CW / SC5-16CW
Chemical properties and changes of matter

SC4-17CW / SC5-17CW
Particle theory and states of matter

What Students Experience

Students are not passive observers; they are asked to come up and help with the demonstrations!
They are challenged to think, predict, analyse and justify.

Each demonstration is structured around scientific inquiry and evidence-based reasoning.

Question

Predict

Observe

Explain

This reinforces Working Scientifically.

Students are prompted to:

  •  Apply particle theory to real phenomena

  •  Connect temperature to kinetic energy changes

  •  Evaluate pressure effects during rapid gas expansion

  •  Analyse phase transitions using scientific terminology

  • Identify variables and risk controls in a live experimental context

 

Conceptual understanding is prioritised alongside amazing visuals.

Demonstrations & Scientific Concepts

Each demonstration is structured around prediction, observation, explanation and real-world applications.

Building conceptual depth through:

 

  • SC4-16CW / SC5-16CW – Chemical properties and changes

  • SC4-17CW / SC5-17CW – Particle theory and states of matter

  • SC4-9PW / SC5-9PW – Forces and energy interactions

Senior Chemistry & Physics Links

 

The demonstrations also reinforce concepts examined in:

 

  • HSC Chemistry – Module 1 & 3 (Properties and Structure of Matter, Reactive Chemistry)

  • HSC Physics – Module 3 & 4 (Energy, Waves and Thermodynamics foundations)

Immersion With Academic Depth

Unlike single tabletop demonstrations, this program uses high-volume cryogenic systems, controlled staging zones and structured questioning sequences to create a large-scale, immersive scientific environment.

Large-scale demonstration. Deep conceptual understanding. Zero dilution of scientific rigour.

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!

Why Schools Choose This Show

This is not a generic science performance.
It is a curriculum-driven learning experience designed and delivered by a 30-year high school Chemistry & Physics teacher.

Curriculum First

Every demonstration is intentionally mapped to the

 

  • NSW Science 7–10 Syllabus (2023) and 

  • Senior Chemistry and Physics concepts.

Delivered by a Classroom Teacher

30 years of real classroom experience in:

• Junior Science
• HSC Chemistry
• HSC Physics

The program is paced, scaffolded and explained exactly as it would be in a high-performing science classroom.

Complex ideas are broken down clearly — without diluting scientific accuracy.

Active Scientific Thinking

Students:
• Predict outcomes
• Observe carefully
• Explain cause and effect
• Apply ideas to real-world examples

They do not simply watch — they think.

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 “science talk.”

 

It’s a curriculum-driven cryogenic spectacle designed for secondary schools, delivered by an experienced teacher who actually teaches junior science, senior Chemistry & Physics.

Beyond a One-Off Incursion

Strategic School Partnerships

  • For schools seeking more than a single event, the Liquid Nitrogen Science Theatre can form part of a broader academic strategy.

  • Schools working across multiple year groups may benefit from:

​• Priority scheduling across the academic year

• Coordinated Stage 4 and Stage 5 alignment

• Integrated science day programming

• Support for senior Chemistry and Physics enrichment

• Structured progression from junior to senior concepts​

Discounted access to

   - Stage 4-5 online video course

   - Stage 6 Chemistry online course

   - Stage 6 Physics online course

This is not a travelling demonstration service.
It is curriculum-aligned science delivery designed by a current NSW classroom teacher.
