Summary
Come along to the Showcasing Science stage at Street Science!
These quick-fire science demonstrations will leave you wanting to see and learn more.
- 11-11:15am - Defying Gravity: Newton’s Inertia Beads
Presented by Griffith University – Science on the Go
This demonstration will give budding scientists an insight into inertia, forces, and motion by utilising Sir Isaac Newton’s favourite string of beads.
- 11:30-11:45am - Juggling and Science
Presented by Dr Nicholas Price
Dr Nicholas Price will reveal the science behind how the brain works when we juggle.
- 12-12:15pm - Quantum Levitation: Magnetic Superconductors
Presented by Griffith University – Science on the Go
This demonstration will give budding scientists an insight into the cool phenomenon of magnetism, superconductors, the Meissner effect and flux pinning.
- 12:30-12:45pm - Cryogenic Fun
Presented by UQ Science Demo Troupe
UQ’s Science Demo Troupe’s balloon animals go for a party in Liquid Nitrogen; it’s amazing how many you can fit into a single esky.
- 1-1:15pm - Good Vibrations
Presented by QUT
Feel the rhythm in this live demonstration with Jesse Allen, where we will explore the power of vacuums, air pressure and sound waves.
