Science:

Having dinosaurs as your best friends should be really cool. However that’s not always the case for poor Alistair. His dinosaurs are out to make sure that in their science show there is never a dull moment.

Microceratus, a small Asian dinosaur from the Cretaceous period, constantly wants to play with robots and blow stuff up. Luckily Alistair has just the right experiments to show some really cool, very safe chemical reactions. He’s super impressed when Alistair creates an electrical current, using coins, nails and lemon juice; strong enough to light up the eyes of his toy cat.

These dinosaurs have an almost out of control inquisitive nature and an overwhelming desire to help which has students both laughing out loud and engrossed in the scientific experiences.

Students join Alistair on stage to operate his four robots; but are they true robots? The one that fills all the criteria to pass the “true robot” test, may not be the one you think. .

For the finale, Alistair gets students using a Vortex Cannon to blow over the nasty viruses. However to show exactly how this force is created, Alistair has not only a large garage bin size one but water vapour smoke to show exactly what is happening with this super air cannon.

Whether learning fun facts, participating or predicting the outcome of cool experiments that students can repeat at home, Teach Your Dinosaurs Science is designed to tweak student’s interest in Science while educating through humour and theatre.
