Science - The Best Bits

A greatest hits of Science that covers many a fun thing and gets many a laugh as well. Forget SATS this is the real thing.
From Galileo dropping things, to rocks from space and singing dinosaurs by way of plants that kill and much more. Demonstrations to catch the imagination, pictures to transport the mind and specimens to catch the imagination. A talk for all ages but well suited to KS1 and 2 that tries to show the breadth, width and fun of Science.

Still want a bit more detail?

The show starts with some discussion on "What is Science" and then follows with a demonstration of gravity. There is next material on electricity with one of my best static electricitiy tricks and one of my favourite machines.
Meteors and shooting stars, the movement of the Earth, the sun, some other planets, satellite pictures and where we are.
Plants, what they do and then into animals and finishing with some interesting bits about dinosaurs.
All in about an hour.

Many schools then get me to spend time in classes answering any questions they have in their minds and showing them other specimens and telling stories of some of the great Scientists, Darwin, Faraday, Einstein and the like. These sessions tend to last for c.20mins for KS1 and 30mins+ for KS2.

It all depends what you want and what you want to cover.

One thing is for certain it will catch the imagination and give it a good shake and lots of info to chew on.

As ever there will be specimens and inspiring pictures galore.
