Incursion Info for Primary Professors 5-12 Years
Our Australian curriculum aligned shows for
Motion Madness
Learn all about pushes, pulls & forces, cause & effect, Newtons 3rd Law, and how everything needs energy to move. Various forms of movement are demonstrated with the help of student volunteers. Including drones, flying discs, rockets, cranes, and magnets etc.
Show includes 30 min presentation followed by 25 mins hands on “science toys” to encourage individual tactile learning and problem solving. Terminology adjusted to year learning level of audience. Optional premium show includes make & take-home activity. See Educators page for curriculum info. Shows 55 mins. Ages 5yrs+

Backyard Rocket Science
Exploring the wonderful world of air pressure and air movement (high pressure to low pressure). Demonstrations include coke & Mentos experiment, pump water bottle, rocket balloons, giant air cannon (with fog so air movement can be seen), water and air pressure cars, rockets and drones.

Slime Zone
Discover the intriguing slippery world of slime, non-Newtonian liquids, and the chemical reaction of cross-linking. Various slimes are demonstrated, including the difference between translucent and opaque, magnetic, edible (from sodium alginate) as well as heat reactive and UV light reactive slimes (turns purple when exposed to a UV light and sunlight).
We then demonstrate making slime (the cross-linking process). Students then get to make their very own slime to take home. Terminology adjusted to year learning level of audience. See Educators page for curriculum info. Shows 55 mins. (premium show available only) Ages 5yrs+

Soapy Science
The most fun way to encourage hygiene while learning about states of matter (solid to liquid to solid). Students will want to wash their hands after making their very own high-quality glycerine soap. Heaps of moulds to choose from (Lego men + Lego look bricks, Star Wars, unicorns, dinosaurs, love hearts, stars & lots more).
While the soap is setting, we do some fun experiments with the students while they’re eagerly waiting to see their soap creations. Terminology adjusted to year learning level of audience. See Educators page for curriculum info. Shows 55 mins. (premium show available only) Ages 5yrs+

Fizzy Science
Chemical reactions and chemical compounds are discussed while citric acid, bicarb and water are combined to make bath bombs and to fire rockets. (students then make their own bath bombs).
While left to solidify, demonstrations of other experiments are conducted including the extremely popular coke & Mentos experiment, elephant toothpaste, and then harnessing the power of fizz with bicarb and vinegar rockets. Students also get to conduct their own experiment with bubbling volcanoes. Terminology adjusted to year learning level of audience. See Educators page for curriculum info. Shows 55 mins.

Light & Sound Science
Learning how to think like a scientist-it all starts with a question. Discussion takes place as the fascinating movement of sound waves are explored using a giant slinky, musical instruments and dancing oobleck on a speaker.
Following demonstrations discover how light affects life on the planet and everything we do – colours, sunlight & moonlight. Glass prisms reveal light’s myriad of rainbow colours.
