SQSC for Teachers

Questacon on Tour > Outreach Programs > Shell Questacon Science Circus > SQSC for Teachers

The Shell Questacon Science Circus presenters visit local schools to present lively and energetic science shows using everyday materials and props.

Adapted to the age of the students, the shows cover a wide range of topics from lasers to liquid nitrogen, from balloons, bubbles and balance to collisions and chemistry and lots more.

Students who participate in the program at school receive a free ticket to attend the Shell Questacon Science Circus hands-on exhibition. This is a portable science centre with over 50 interactive exhibits. It is open on evenings and weekends, in a central public venue such as a town hall.
