Playing with gravity...


As seen on teachers tv

 


Wow - I can spin a ball with the appliance of science!


School Performances

Entertaining Science Circus Show
Exploring the science behind the thrills and spills of this circus. Why do jugglers love gravity? How do stunt people avoid getting hurt and why unicyclists need to keep moving to stay balanced.

Circus Skills, historical drama and audience participation are some of the vehicles used to introduce the audience to forces of gravity, air resistance, friction, equilibrium and gyroscopes.

Entertaining Science Circus Workshop(s)
Pupils experience the force of gravity as they are pulled off a tightrope, learn to juggle in space and apply forces to circus props.



Other workshops use unusual circus equipment for qualitative or quantitative science investigations.
