Super Scientific Circus

Super Scientific Circus uses circus skills and magic tricks to explain scientific principles. With boomerangs, bubbles and bullwhips, rolling globes, spinning plates and students floating in mid-air, Super Scientific Circus demonstrates and explains complex scientific principals, ranging from friction and inertia to static electricity and magnetism.

California Content Standards easily applied in your classroom:

• 2.SC.1.c: Students know the way to change how something is moving is by giving it a push or a pull. The size of the change is related to the strength, or the amount of force, of the push or pull.
• 4.SC.1: Electricity and magnetism are related effects that have many useful applications in everyday life.

LESSON PLAN IDEA: Using balloons, students experiment with weight and water. Filled with air, the balloon floats atop the water; filled with water, the balloon becomes a submarine! Discuss.
