YEAR 5 SIGNATURE SCIENCE SHOW – 45 MINS

High-impact demonstrations with fire, liquid nitrogen and other curious chemicals, engage year 5 students in an unforgettable lesson on how the particles in matter around us behave. Light is also explored as an energy that can be absorbed, reflected and refracted before their eyes.

MAD MICROSCOPES – WINGS OR LIMBS – 60 MINS

Students use digital microscopes to observe a range of biological specimens, provided and found in the schoolyard, to identify structural features that allow them to survive in different environments.

SEE THE LIGHT – 60 MINS

A series of immersive workstations allows students to explore concepts of light absorption, reflection, refraction and how shadows are formed. Light sensing bands made in the session are theirs to keep and test in the classroom or at home.

PERFECT POLYMERS – NON-NEWTONIAN FLUIDS (SLIME & SNOW) – 60 MINS

Students complete two investigations exploring the behaviour of particles within solids, liquids and gasses to appreciate how this affects materials’ uses in every-day life.

Why Book Us?

We bring exciting experiences through hands-on workshops directly to you!

When you book Street Science we work to take the hassle out of booking an incursion, making all of the paperwork associated with the incursion as simple as possible. You will be supported from the initial booking by our expert team to help select the perfect science experience right through until after our visit with post-event communication.

Our visits are all-inclusive. We bring all the gear, set up smoothly, and pack-down; leaving zero mess! We only leave behind smiling faces and a fresh excitement for science learning. Our emphasis on inquiry-based learning keeps everyone engaged throughout our entire visit, and well after we have packed the van and headed back to Street Science HQ.

The hands-on workshop was exactly what I had hoped. The language used by the presenter was perfect for the age group. I love the fact that the kids are doing science without knowing they are, and the connections are made at the end.
