#Watch Science Burst into Action
Wow Moments for Every Age!

Led by Ian Stuart from Atomic School, this 60-minute high-energy show recreates the jaw-dropping demonstrations that thrilled Brisbane Powerhouse crowds last year. Through captivating storytelling and mind-blowing experiments, it brings science’s biggest ideas to life—from quantum building blocks of matter to the vastness of the universe—as elements of the Periodic Table burst into action, revealing their extraordinary properties.

Witness hydrogen balloons ignite in brilliant millisecond flashes, liquid nitrogen shrink and inflate objects instantly, and vibrant light spectra dance through diffraction gratings. It’s hands-on chemistry and physics transformed into an unforgettable all-ages adventure—educational, thrilling, and packed with “wow” moments and interactive surprises that spark endless “how did they do that?” reactions.

Perfect for families, students, and science lovers in one of regional Australia’s premier venues!
