High School Science Assembly

Getting Excited About Science will be presented at Thorton Township High School this week.    Each year we present show for a few high schools.    Last year’s show was a great success and I look forward to the challange.   Elephant toothpaste is a big hit here as well as the hovercraft, gyroscope and liquid nitrogen.

An update:   The show went great and the school asked me to perform for them again next year (2014)

Science Fair

I was honored to be asked by a science teacher to help judge a local science fair.    I will read all of the papers, study their boards and listen to their presentations.   I take this very seriously and I look forward to being at the school.

Getting Excited About Science has been used by many schools to get the students ready for the science fairs.

 

Forces in Motion

Spring 2013 will mark the 5th straight year Getting Excited About Science will be presenting Forces in Motion at Milne Grove School.    The show is  about simple machines and laws of motion and features many large scale demonstrations including the rocket car.   Way to go Milne Grove (5 years).

Tribune News Article

Getting Excited About Science performs for many Catholic and private schools.   Many school set aside one special week for activities for their students.     I am honored to perform for many of them.

Spooky Science anytime

This week I had a request for my Spooky Science show in January.   The teachers, students and PTA just wanted a fun science assembly and looked at what Spooky Science had to offer and asked for it.    Science is fun anytime, but Spooky Science does have CO2 smoke bubbles, liquid nitrogen,  static electric generators, elephant toothpaste and lots of weird science.    It was quite fun to perform and refreshing not to have this in the typical Halloween set-up.

Science Rocks & Fossils

These are a part ot a show for primary students where they wanted to talk about rocks and fossils.     Check out my fish, he came from Montana at the same site that US President Truman got his (which he later gave to the leader of Japan as a gift.)    Millions of years of history here on the bench.    Of course, the kids still like the shark’s teeth.
