This virtual experience is the next best thing to a live show!

There are multiple opportunities for the pupils to engage throughout the show… yes volunteers are still required!

Part 1: Focuses on what forces can do and then on the magical properties of our invisible Gravitational Force.

The ‘make and take’ section has the children investigating the centre of mass of an acrobatic dragon, then using this knowledge, they will train their dragon to balance on the end of its nose.

Part 2: An introduction to Electric and Magnetic Forces. Here we also explore sound plus 4 amazing wizards and how their discoveries brought about the record player and the disco ball!

The Magical Science & Engineering Show – A scientific journey of magical discovery

Sue’s wacky combination of science and drama makes this Educational Show both magical, entertaining and thought provoking.

Hubble Bubble Toil and Trouble….. Fire Burn and Cauldron Bubble!

This show is about magical people, magical creatures and invisible magical forces. A Chief Wizard (you!) and their magical apprentices (your pupils) will be needed to help Scientific Sue find out the science and engineering behind many amazing illusions and magical tricks.

We are surrounded by invisible forces which can be used to push and pull. Using these mystical properties Scientific Sue will show you how the ‘magical’ properties of magnets can be used to make items spin! Demonstrate how the science of spin can also be used to defy the pulling forces of gravity; and how electric forces can be used to ‘magically’ make things fly.

The show aims to reveal the secret ways of a wizard’s art and hopefully teach you to learn how to wield them too!

Magical spells will be used to make items fly, disappear and reappear!  All of the activities will not only stimulate curiosity and imagination within your young audiences but will also highlight the relevance and impact of science and engineering on our everyday lives.

A Science2Life Creation

From chaos to calm – make your own mini ‘snow’storm then we wowed by static magic!

A fantastic demonstration which can be used to visualise the fact that like charges push against each other and opposite charges pull together.

It is also a fun and creativity demonstration that can be used to help explain how lightning is formed in clouds!

TRANSPARENT LATEX BALLOONS 10 PACK with a small bag of polystyrene beads

The charged balloon is rubbed on hair, causing the polystyrene beads inside to stick to the rubbed areas due to static electricity.

• Size: 30 cm (12 inches)
• 10 pack
• Transparent balloons
• Made from natural rubber latex
• Bag of polystyrene beads

STATIC ELECTRICITY DEMONSTRATION

Secrets for Success

• A balloon pump must be used to inflate the balloons as there is too much moisture in our breath. Water prevents the build-up of static charge.
• Don’t over inflate the balloon – you don’t want it to explode.
• Store your latex balloons away from sunlight, preferably in an opaque container. Sunlight and ozone combine to oxidise the surface of the balloon which then weakens the balloon.

Science in a Nutshell

When insulating materials – in this case the latex balloon and the polystyrene beads – rub against each other, they may become electrically charged. Electrons, which are negatively charged, are pulled from one material on to the other. The material that gains electrons becomes negatively charged. The material that loses electrons is left with an overall positive charge.

The rubber balloon loses its electrons to the polystyrene beads.

Scientific Sue holds a charged balloon to demonstrate static electric forces during an Intel science event for students.

Like charges repel each other – this is why the polystyrene beads spread out on the inside surface of the balloon.

Opposite charges attract – this is why the polystyrene beads stick to the surface of the balloon.

When the balloon is rubbed on hair, charges move from the hair to the balloon. The balloon and the hair then have opposite charges. When you slowly lift the balloon away from the hair the electric force of attraction is strong enough to lift the hair.

The size of this force decreases with distance so as you keep moving the balloon away from the hair the hair will eventually drop. However, when you then bring the balloon closer to the head the hair will then spring back up!

We also sell a wonderfully magical toy called a wandarama which uses electrostatic pushing forces to get tinsel shapes to fly about the room like magic! Want to find our more? Click on link.

A little bit of info

The code of the lithium coin battery itself is an International Electro-Chemical (IEC) designation. The name CR2032 can be divided into two codes, the first one is the letter code which tells us the standard case size while the numeral code gives us information about the diameter of the cell followed by the height of the cell. In CR2032’s case, 20 refers to the fact that the cell has a diameter of 20 millimeters while 32 refers to its height of 3.2 millimeters. There are specific plug-in and solder-in CR2032 batteries as well.

Hand held ultra violet lamp

This gift is a must for inquisitive budding (and not so budding) scientists!

This handheld ultraviolet (UV) light scanner is usually used to check the validity of passports and bank notes. The lamps sheds UV light on the bank notes to reveal embedded safety features such as UV marks, metal thread or watermarks.

UV marks will glow when exposed to UV light, metal threads will shine out, and watermarks will be fully visible.

• Ideal for festivals, events and mobile outlets
• Shows hidden features with glow in UV light
• Requires 4 x AA batteries (not supplied)
• Includes a built in torch and carry handle
• Suitable for most currencies

Passing Secrets

Any proper spy will find the need to pass secret information along to an ally securely. There are many techniques to do so – sometimes, they can be highly technical, such as an encrypted message, but other times simply hiding information just outside of plain sight can be very effective.

This handheld ultraviolet light scanner is the perfect gift for budding spies and is used in our Mysterious Microbes Workshop to help highlight the importance of hand-washing.

There are lots of everyday materials that fluoresce or glow when placed under a black light – a black light gives off highly energetic ultraviolet light. We can’t see this part of the spectrum, which is how ‘black’ lights got their name.

Follow this link to find 16 things that glow under ultraviolet (black) light.

Fluorescent substances absorb the UV light and then re-emit it almost instantaneously. Some energy gets lost in the process, so the emitted light has a longer wavelength than the absorbed radiation, which makes this light visible and causes the material to appear to glow. Fluorescent molecules tend to have rigid structures and delocalised electrons.

Check out our colour changing beads!

Note: This product has been tested for reliability on most currencies and we are confident that it is effective. We cannot, however, be held liable for any loss or damage which result from using the product.
