Make your own electricity (60 min)
- shows where electricity comes from with
demonstrations ranging from static electricity
through all kinds of electric cells and on to
generators.

Making sparks fly (60 min)
- an electrifying tour through electrostatics, electric
arcs and experiments in a microwave oven.
features the spectacular ‘boiling glass’ expt. and
a 1 metre high Jacob’s ladder.

Out of thin air (60 min)
- lively demonstrations on air pressure and its
applications. Includes an introduction to
steam engines and the karate chop
experiment.

Sound Notions (60 min)
- introducing waves and their applications. A
number of experiments are featured on sound
waves and musical instruments.

The Science Detectives (60 min)
- An introduction to Forensic Science with
demonstrations varying from crime to
accidental sheep poisoning.

What can the matter be? (60 min)
- experiments and demonstrations involving
solids, liquids and gases. Heating and
cooling effects plus - how to make crazy putty.

N.B. There is some overlap of content between ‘Making sparks fly’ and ‘Electrocution’. Also between ‘How cold can you get?’ and ‘Fun with
expansion’.

Baked Alaska (60 min)
- demonstrations and explanations based
around conduction, convection & radiation -
culminating in the cooking of ‘baked Alaska’.

Electrocution (60 min)
- focuses on the dangers of electricity, from
lightning to high voltage supplies. Includes
electrocuting a sausage & Faraday cages

Forces Fiesta (60 min)
- experiments and demonstrations of many
different types of force, including the use
of Archimedes’ upthrust. The show features
such favourites as the bar breaker experiment,
and rockets in action.

From gas lamps to lasers (60 min)
- demonstrations and explanations of how people
have produced light from ancient times up to the
present day. Features include the radioactive
gas mantle, the exploding acetylene lamp and
flame throwing with colours.

Fun with expansion (60 min)
- demonstrations to show the fact of expansion,
Its extent and the forces involved. Includes
making pop-corn and the carbon serpent.

How cold can you get (60 min)
- a range of experiments aimed at cooling
things and the estimation of Absolute Zero.
Examples of cooling by expansion,
forced melting and by chemical reaction.
includes a small-scale demonstration of how
the Victorians made ice-cream.

Incredible machines (60 min)
- survey of experiments and apparatus, from
bouncing into orbit to the bucking suitcase. We
travel from the unlikely to the downright
impossible.

Lively & exciting science roadshows to visit your school or hall. Our shows are packed with demonstrations/experiments, and we can adapt them for Juniors, Secondary Schools and/or Adults. All you need to do is provide the venue and the audience.
