There are no magic tricks in this 45-minute STEM science school assembly program; just scientific demonstrations so incredible they seem magical. And, to the many volunteers from the audience helping perform them, the demonstrations seem to give them superpowers! Superpowers like these:

• One student's head seems to grow to four times its size!

• Another, with a flick of their wrist, knocks down objects twenty feet away!

• Finally, a student effortlessly lifts three classmates into the air!

After they demonstrate each feat, I (Dave Moreland, aka ‘The Great & Powerful Dave’) identify the principle that makes the superpower possible and, once identified, talk about where we can observe it in everyday life.

Best of all, I show audience members how they can repeat simplified versions of each effect in their classroom or around the house.

​

With the help of over a dozen on-stage volunteers, your students will have fun learning about these concepts and terms:

• leverage and fulcrums

• transfer of momentum

• waves & vortices (smoke rings)

• alkalines, acids, and indicators

• social science

• optical illusions and 'the waterfall aftereffect'

• melting & sublimation

During 'Superhero Science', your students will be so busy participating, laughing, and being amazed by the superheroes in their midst, they'll hardly notice that they're learning too!
