Shows

This 60-minute incredible new show uses a Thermal Imaging, InfraRed camera to explore the world of light. The colours we can see are only a tiny fraction of the electromagnetic spectrum which is all around us and ranges from radio, TV, microwaves, through the visible part to X rays and cosmic rays. This exciting show will use technology to enable the audience to “see” extra colours beyond both ends of the visible spectrum. At one end is Ultra-Violet (UV) and the other end is Infra-Red (IR) You’ll be absolutely amazed at the things you will be able to “see” that are normally invisible to us (although some animals can see and use UV or IR!) and this technology is becoming increasingly important in the modern world. It is guaranteed to give you a whole new way of looking at the world around us!

REQUIREMENTS: Tables (3), water, power points. The show has to project a computer screen for the audience to see. If the venue has a dedicated AV computer projection capability that would be ideal, but SciWorld can bring a projector and screen if required.

This is a 60-minute one-stop show which celebrates everything science! You’ll learn about Chemistry, Energy, Forces and so much more. You’ll see explosions, rockets, fire and some amazing demonstrations that are guaranteed to excite audiences of all ages.

REQUIREMENTS: Tables (3), water, power points. The show creates a small amount of smoke so will need to be performed in a space where smoke detectors will not trigger. A school gym is fine, as this is a very large space with smoke detectors set very high up. If a smaller venue is to be used, then it will require the capability to disable smoke detectors.

What is light? How do we see colours? How is a rainbow made? These and many other questions will be answered in this “illuminating” (!) show. Featuring glowing chemical reactions, lasers, and iridescent bubbles, we’ll make the physics of light fun and easily understandable. Explore how fireworks are made and learn how a bee sees a flower… and you might even learn the secret to invisibility!

REQUIREMENTS: 2 tables for presenter, access to water. If the stage area can be darkened at times, some of the effects are more spectacular.

This 60-minute show will amaze you – learning about changes of state from solids to liquids to gases has never been so exciting! How much do liquids expand when they become gases – a lot! What happens to objects that are frozen to minus 196 degrees? Can an inflated balloon recover after being frozen? We explore the answers to these questions and so much more in our liquid nitrogen show!

REQUIREMENTS: Tables (3), water, power points. Liquid Nitrogen is potentially hazardous, so the show venue must have sufficient space for the audience to be at least 3m away from the equipment.

Two extremes of heat, yet they work so well together. Learn about the power of fire and the incredible cold of Liquid Nitrogen. How do things change when exposed to these extremes? This is a fun show which blends big bangs with scientific learning!
