Children's Party Themes

Fun Wit Energy!!
IntroductionThe science of energy is as fun as it gets! Jeff Boyer shows kids that energy is what makes our world work, through carefully laid out activities illustrating the laws and forces which govern the world around us. Jeff takes audiences on an exciting energy filled ride they'll always remember. He brings kids right up on stage for interactive demonstrations that entertain and amaze!
Audience
Kindergarten through sixth grade in two formats (One for K-2 and one for 3-6)
Standards
Kids learn about sound, light, solar power, electric and kinetic energies, with materials ranging from everyday objects like baseballs and breakfast cereal to radiometers and even a Van de Graaf generator!

Bubble Trouble
IntroductionThis interactive show teaches kids the science inside bubbles. Find out different ways bubbles can be used to make our lives easier, softer and even taste better. Bubbles are beautiful, too. Have you ever seen a pyramid-shaped bubble? How about a cube-shaped bubble? How about bubbles within bubbles? Or bubbles walking a tightrope? As a finale, Jeff will even put a kid inside a bubble!
Audience
All Ages
Standards
Jeff shows kids the science involved in bubbles - why they are multi-colored and what each color says about that part of the bubble. What makes up a bubble? Why are they shaped the way they are? What holds them together?

The Science of Magic
Introduction Mark Twain wrote that "sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." Today we live in the age of technology, surrounded by magic. "The Amazing Mr. Snide" entertains and amazes us with classic magic illusions; objects change colors, light bulbs blaze to life, items and people are levitated, and things appear and disappear again before our very eyes. Is this magic?
His alter ego "Dr. Heckle" says "No!" He performs these same feats using the tools of modern technology. Explaining laws of physics as he goes, the professor teaches his audiences the principles that make these astounding demonstrations possible.
Audience
Kids learn about sound, light, solar power, electric and kinetic energies, with materials ranging from everyday objects like baseballs and breakfast cereal to radiometers and even a Van de Graaf generator!

Warlock Schmorlock
Introduction Dr. Schmorlock (Professor emeritus of a prominent school of Wizardry) brings kids onstage for some of the zaniest examples of muggle magic seen anywhere! Huge objects are propelled skyward, others are levitated, and still others disappear - only to reappear again later. Physics (and yes, maybe a little magic) was never so much fun.
Standards
The wizard teaches us about the magical world in which we live and the laws of physics which govern matter (in its states of solid, liquid, gas) and motion (inertia, momentum, gravity, centrifugal force, etc).

The Mad Scientist
IntroductionProfessor Von Schmartkopf has built the perfect rocket ship. All he needs now is a way to get it to the moon. And for that he needs to use physics. Physics is the study of how things move. Using spectacular, yet east-to-understand demonstrations, the takes kids on a fun-filled educational journey.
Audience
Kindergarten through sixth grade in two formats (One for K-2 and one for 3-6)
Standards
Learn about simple machines as the professor teaches children using incline planes, pulleys, the wheel, etc. and how they make our lives easier.
