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.
