EXPLOSIVE STAGESHOWS AND ENGAGING HANDS-ON WORKSHOPS
FOR QUEENSLAND SCHOOLS
STREET SCIENCE CAN HELP YOU...
ENGAGE your students, INSPIRE tomorrow's leaders and ACHIEVE positive outcomes. STREET SCIENCE provides a range of
professionally designed science workshops and stage shows that complement the Australian National Curriculum. As a
Brisbane based company, we have developed a series of engaging, hands-on workshops and shows, designed to enhance
student interest in the sciences.
Using a range of explosive and powerful demonstrations, our 45 minute stage show brings science to life allowing
consolidation of the concepts and themes taught throughout the year by your classroom teachers. Our hands-on
workshops are then provided as an extension to the show, allowing your students to investigate scientific principles
through guided experiments and hands-on activities.
The following tables display some of our most popular stage shows and workshops. The Australian Curriculum content
codes have been included for each workshop to assist teachers when planning quality units of work which will incorporate
a STREET SCIENCE incursion. As new workshops are continuously being developed, please contact us to discuss which
show or workshop is recommended to complement your C2C or Primary Connections unit.

WORKSHOP CONTENT
YEAR 4
Rocket Science – The forces of flight
Students investigate Newton’s laws of
physics by building and launching CO2
rockets. This workshop has be modified so
the theory component links into the Year 4
curriculum including exploration of contact
and non-contact forces.
Creating Processed Materials
This new workshop involves students
completing a guided h a n d s - o n
investigation which expand their knowledge
of processed materials. Students will mix
various chemicals to produce a number of
amazing polymers.
YEAR 5
Mad microscopes – Wings or limbs?
(Using ICT/Digital Microscopes)
Students use the latest digital microscopes to
observe a range of biological specimens, and
identify structural features that allow them to
survive in different environments. These
hand-held, LCD display microscopes allow
image capture so your students can continue
working once we leave. Teachers will receive
a copy of all images captured during the
session on a USB.
Perfect Polymers – Non Newtonian
Fluids (Slime & Snow)
Students explore the properties of different
substances as they complete 2 different
investigations in this high paced workshop.
This workshop is a brilliant way to explore
the 3 states of matter as students create a
non-Newtonian fluid.
YEAR 6
Perfect Polymers – Chemistry in Action
(Slime & Snow)
This workshop consolidates student
knowledge about chemical and physical
change through 2 different investigations.
Using their knowledge of fair testing,
students make two different polymers by
changing one variable. They then discover
how nappies absorb moisture through a
reversible physical change.
Energy & Electrical Circuits
Students use ‘snap together’ circuits to build
a variety of circuits including; an FM radio,
connect bulbs in series and parallel,
investigate insulators and conductors, and
wire batteries in both series and parallel
circuits.
