Fast-paced and engaging science shows that cover a range of topics. Perfect for larger groups, these shows can be adapted for audiences from early childhood through to adults.
Our science shows include lots of WOW science demonstrations that are too big for the classroom!
Please see our workshops if you require more of a hands-on experience for your students.
Years 4 – 10Light, Technology, Heat, Electromagnetic Spectrum
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.

Years 2- 7Environmental science, conservation, energy
This 60-minute show will reinforce how precious our planet is. From the power of the ocean to the wind on the land, the energy we harness and use, is vitally important for our planet’s future. This show will teach you about energy use and conservation with a range of scientific demonstrations that will wow you. From on-stage lightning to dynamic explosions, air pressure and cool waves, this is a show to visually show you how we make waves to power the future of our planet!
REQUIREMENTS: Tables (2), 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.

Rec – Year 7Science, Energy, Chemistry, Forces, Physics
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.

Years 4 – 7Physics, Light, Colour, Lasers, Reflection, Refraction
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. 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.

Years 4 – 8Solids, Liquids, Gases, Chemical changes
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.

Rec – Year 8Chemical changes, Fire, Heat, Solids, Liquids and Gases
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!
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 have to have the capability to disable smoke detectors.
