Description
The Magical Mysterious Suitcase Science Show is an interactive physics presentation performed as theatrical magic. This show has been performed for thousands of children throughout the United States teaching them various scientific principals through role playing participation. While studying the history of famous scientists and their groundbreaking inventions, the students learn various startling and exciting effects of physics and other forms of scientific principles. Most of the effects are fully explained so the students can duplicate them in the classroom or even at home. The principles of physics that are demonstrated in the program include static electricity, cohesion and adhesion, optical illusion, Newton's Law of Motion and inertia, balance, gravity and the elasticity of bubbles; just to name a few. Scientific apparatus include bicycle wheel gyroscope, low friction rotating stool, and a Van Der Graaf Generator.

Students Will
  • Observe scientific experiments performed with everyday objects that they can recreate on their own
  • Participate as audience volunteers in experiments demonstrating motion, balance, gravity, inertia, optical illusions and more
  • Learn about static electricity through a Van der Graaf Generator
  • Book: Fun with Physics by Susan McGrath
