Science Circus combines Newtonian physics with a delightful mix of comedy and circus arts. This entertaining and educational show teaches students about gravity through bowling ball juggling, gyroscopic stability with glass bowl spinning, centripetal force using cowboy lariats, center of balance on a tall unicycle, and inertia with the classic tablecloth pull. Adding an irresistible force of levity, Science Circus captivates audiences of all ages.
