Stage Shows

Have your students or group experience larger-than-life science demonstrations with one of our stage shows, online, at your school, or at LSC.

These programs are available for 200+ students.

Science Circus (Grades 3-8, 45 Minutes)

It’s our most popular show! Explore the positives and negatives of static electricity, the subzero temperatures of liquid nitrogen, the states of matter, and the immense pressure of air. Includes more than a dozen thrilling experiments, and, as always, we use lots of volunteers. It’s a great way to showcase the concepts of energy and matter.

Alignment to NJSLS - Science: 3-PS2-3 Ask questions to determine cause and effect relationships of electric or magnetic interactions between two objects not in contact with each other. 5-PS1-1 Develop a model to describe that matter is made of particles too small to be seen. Connections to NJSLS - English Language Arts: SL.3.3 Ask and answer questions about information from a speaker, offering appropriate elaboration and detail. Alignment to NJSLS - Science: MS-PS1-4 Develop a model that predicts and describes changes in particle motion, temperature, and state of a pure substance when thermal energy is added or removed. Connections to NJSLS - Mathematics: 6.NS.C.5 Understand that positive and negative numbers are used together to describe quantities having opposite directions or values (e.g., temperature above/below zero, elevation above/below sea level, credits/debits, positive/negative electric charge); use positive and negative numbers to represent quantities in real-world contexts, explaining the meaning of 0 in each situation.

Science Circus Jr. (Grades Pre-K-2, 45 Minutes)

Let’s think big together and investigate the effects of forces as you’ve never seen them before! Be shocked and amazed by the pushes and pulls involving electricity, gasp in awe at the air all around us as we demonstrate the science behind attraction and repulsion, and explore how forces affect objects.

Alignment to NJSLS - Science: K-PS2-1: Plan and conduct an investigation to compare the effects of different strengths or different directions of pushes and pulls on the motion of an object. 2-PS1-1: Plan and conduct an investigation to describe and classify different kinds of materials by their observable properties.
