 Super
Scientific Circus
Science education and entertainment
Using student volunteers, we show students:
 | You cannot crush an egg in your hand! |
| You can spin a cup of water on a string and the water won't spill out! |
| You can put a needle through a balloon! |
| You can make and throw your own boomerangs! |
| You can pull a tablecloth out from under a person sitting on a chair, without
disturbing the person on the chair! |
| You can see different wavelengths of light and how they affect the way we see! |
| You can actually enjoy and use science! |
These and many more effects are demonstrated in a lively, fun and entertaining way.
Super Scientific Circus helps students realize that science is interesting, fun and
something they can understand and use. The performance demonstrates seemingly impossible
circus or theatrical tricks that actually have scientific explanations.
| Circus stunts and magic tricks demonstrate Scientific Principles |
| Topics include friction, velocity, sonic booms, ultraviolet light, flight, air
pressure, and structure |
| Kids learn how to make and throw a boomerang, put a pin through a balloon, mix a super
soapbubble solution. |
