Science is everywhere! Especially in the Circus!
In this high energy show Dr Quark explores the science and forces behind the circus tricks we all love.
While performing feats of unicycling, juggling, rolla bolla and plate spinning, Dr Quark demonstrates the effects of gravity, momentum, friction, air pressure, energy transfer and push and pull forces.
"The students were raving about how great
the show was, and the teachers were thrilled too!"
Maureen, Primary School Principal
He then applies those same concepts and more to his favourite science demonstrations.
Yes! That means
wacky water rockets, groovy gyroscopes,
leaf blower levitations, voracious vacuums, ballistic balloons,
and the incredible
ostrich egg squeeze!
The show can be modified to suit any theatre, stage or covered performance area. Mains power required.
With exciting demonstrations, lively music, and plenty of comedy, Dr Quark will engage everyone as they learn about the physical science of the circus and beyond!
Please see bottom of this page for booking details.
Great scientific discoveries
will also be examined including Newton’s Laws of Motion, the Bernoulli effect, Galileo’s law of falling bodies, and Von Guericke’s famous vacuum experiment.
And because Dr Quark is a former Junior Primary/Primary teacher,
he is able to explain all of these concepts in a manner that is suitable for all children aged 4 to 13 years.
All learning is linked to the Australian Science Curriculum (Links available upon request)
