Year 1 to Year 10

At your school or venue in the State of Victoria, Australia and interstate on request

The fees are listed at the bottom of this web page.  For show topics, please visit here.

Usually up to 100.  This will depend on the venue but smaller is definitely better as students are closer to the action and we will have a better interaction.   We do reserve the right to limit the number of students for safety reasons.  For Science Nights and special events the attendee number can be higher. In the hands-on workshops, we restrict the size to 30 students.

Yes. The minimum fee per visit is the cost equivalent of two sessions (2 x $520 plus GST).  If you are from a small school (less than 70 students in the cohort) then please try to find another Year group to take up the second session.  There may be a small fee depending on the selection of their topic.  Please discuss with your colleagues.

See our pricing below.

All Shows are presented by Carl Ahlers, scientist, educator & science communicator holding an MSc in Chemistry and Bachelors in Education. He frequently delivers talks at Labtech and Science Teacher Conferences and has welcomed over 1 million at his presentations over the last 24 years.  More information on Carl’s work here.

Safety is of great importance. We have extensive experience in bringing these School Shows to more than 1 million students in 24 years, without any incident.  Nevertheless, we carry full Public Liability Insurance to a total of $30 million.  A certificate of currency can be provided. Carl has a current “Working with Children Police Check”.
  We can provide the school with a Risk Assessment or Job Safety Analysis.  Please email us to enquire.

We can provide you with a copy of our 
–  Working with Children Check (WWCC)
–  Certificate of Currency (Public liability insurance to $30 million)
–  Risk Assessment for the sessions

We specialise in Chemistry & Physics but can customise an engaging interactive presentation with appropriate content.  We have successfully delivered sessions on “Scientific Discoveries”,  “Change”,  “Innovation”, “Product development” and others. Please let us know what you have in mind.

Our content aligns with the new Australian Curriculum.  If you have a special focus, please let us know so we can plan for the visit, so you get the best outcome.

We will have a new item on offer soon!   It is our Science in a Box, a pizza box filled with science toys that will engage and teach while the students are having fun.  The content is selected for students 6 to 12 years and is offered at a price so each one can have his own box.  

There will be two boxes: a Chemical Sciences box and Energy & Forces box.  Students take their boxes home as it has full instructions and scientific-play ideas so the learning can be extended.  All drafted by Prof Bunsen Science.

Available at the start of Term 2,  2019.  Enquiries here
