Amy Huynh and John Paauwe smash fruit frozen in liquid nitrogen during the chemistry magic show at the Incredible Science open day for children at Auckland University yesterday.

Children started arriving 90 minutes before the doors opened and there was a steady flow throughout the day, with an estimated 5000 parents and youngsters passing through the annual event of activities, lectures and shows hosted by the university's science faculty.
