The Twisty Science Show

Do you like balloons?

Do you like stories?

Then you will love The Twisty Science Show, a book reading with fun science balloon creations!

It is the story of how our DNA makes each one of us unique, told using fun and colourful balloon creations. It is based on the book, “What Makes You Unique” written by Dr Chloe Lim, a scientist who is also a professional balloon artist! Chloe is also a finalist on Channel 7's balloon competition show Blow Up.

This free event introduces children to genetics and how DNA makes us unique. Using the magic of balloon twisting, Chloe creates a fun learning experience for children to learn more about how their body works!

WHAT TO EXPECT

The show starts with an interactive and engaging book reading, using balloon creations that help engage the children's curiosity and interest. This book reading is approximately 30 minutes and engages the children with questions, hands-on learning and live balloon twisting.

Following the show is a hands-on experiment to make DNA! Children will become little scientists, putting on lab coats and safety goggles, and learn how to extract DNA from bananas. The activity will mimic a laboratory setup with the use of lab items to encourage imaginative play and role-playing as scientists.

This event is recommended for preschool and primary school-aged children. Younger children are welcome to join in and watch. Adult supervision is required at all times.

Join us for some fun with science and balloons to learn about what makes you unique!
