Kiddie Chem

The all-time favorite science assembly where kids learn that with physics, they can do anything! Hoisting 200 pounds (like their principal) over their heads, lifting 1000 pounds of classmates, or throwing the portly Dr. Quark 8 feet high is simply a matter of understanding Kinetic Energy, Potential Energy, Friction, and Simple Machines (pulleys, levers, and screws are demonstrated).

	1. Grades: K - 3 Only 2. 50 - 55 minutes 3. Accompanies "Combustion" show

Circus Residencies

During the months of September and June we do offer Circus Residencies in schools. One of our typical programs would have us working with a grade for a week and then presenting a public show featuring the skills and acts which the kids have developed. During a typical Van Lodostov Family Circus Residency we offer juggling, unicycling, spanish web, tight wire, clowning, devil stick, diabolo, stilt walking, rola bola, plate spinning, tumbling.... the list goes on because in the circus there's a job for everyone regardless of size, shape, or ability, or creativity. These programs foster team building and offer the students the opportunity to learn that they can work hard and have fun at the same time.

Archived Workshops

SIMPLE MACHINES WORKSHOP: Enhances the "Much Work with Little Effort" assembly by allowing students to manipulate and explore Dr. Quark's unique collection of machines designed expressly for use in the show and these workshops.

MOTION WORKSHOPS: These workshops address each of Newton's laws but particularly reinforce the concept of "Inertia" which is totally new to most students. May also help older kids grasp the concepts of "mass" and "force" and "acceleration".
