Natural Phenomena & Energy (Forces, Air Pressure, Magnetism, Weather & Energy) | NSW
This show delivers a barrage of high-energy student interactive experiments. Visually dynamic demonstrations are used to highlight and create Natural Phenomena that surround and envelope us. Students will learn about the composition of the atmosphere along with air pressure and its effects creating weather, explore and explode a variety of fuels (Hydrogen & Methane), use vacuum pumps to make big balloon heads and shaving cream soufflés, learn about Boyle’s Law and watch a potato gun in action, watch air pressure crush cans, defy gravity with magnetism, enjoy the properties and effects of Dry ice experiments while watching a variety of items freeze, shatter and explode under the stress and strain created by liquid Nitrogen as they then disappear in a Giant cloud. No, not forever teachers...Ha.
