The Wacky Science Show is Crazy! Zany!
The Wacky Science Show takes the magic of theatre, attention-grabbing comedy, and scientific truths to your students in a fun-filled way!
More than twelve students will participate throughout the show, putting science in their hands! In this school assembly with a focus on science, the wacky and zany presenter, Dr. Science, helps students learn about the Scientific Method in a fun and straightforward way with lots of magic tricks and some comedy too!
Your students will crack-up at the craziness, but your staff and teachers will really enjoy the lessons. Our science show includes learning the Scientific Method, Physical Sciences, Math, Life Sciences, Earth Science, the Human Body, Air Pressure, Acids/Bases, Levers/Machines, Dinosaurs, the Natural World, Outer Space, States of Matter, Safety in the Lab, Bernoulli, Reactions between Chemicals, and more. Additionally, older students in middle school will learn Centripal/Centrifugal forces, kinetic energy, potential energy, inertia, connections in technology, and using chemicals in observations. The Wacky Science Show has exercises and science concepts for students at different levels of scientific discovery!
And it’s Packed with Learning too! Not only has The Wacky Science Show been ranked nationally for science education, but it’s also one of the best ways to help your students learn the scientific method. Students will enjoy kooky hands-on fun science experiments and nutty tricks while learning lessons and becoming a science kid. They will find out which everyday household things can be used in some cool science stunts and lab experiments while learning all about the Scientific Method and other scientific concepts. An hour or two of entertaining engagement can be fun and educational when kids watch science shows at school instead of just playing video games or watching poor-quality videos.
Science shows for kids are a great way to take a break without abandoning learning. Fusing comedy with knowledge and science with theatre, your young scientists will look at their science lessons in a whole new light. Even the teachers and administrators will laugh, seeing the host, Dr. Science, spell-bind students with ridiculous magic tricks.
A good science show engages students so that they can absorb the lessons without feeling like listlessly memorizing facts. Dr. Science, our resident science guy, will demonstrate and teach young viewers why these science lessons are useful, important, and super cool. Getting kids engaged makes it easier for them to learn about the different topics in the science show and easier for teachers to keep the students wanting to learn.
Another part of why our science show is ranked nationally is due to getting the students involved in the presentation. No one wants to sit down and listen to someone talk when they’ve been doing that most of their day. It gets boring. Dr. Science gets the kids involved, letting them figure out why science is so cool, and gives them a sense of accomplishment. Everything is better when you can experience why science works and it’s cooler when you do it yourself.
Take a minute and explore the details of our science show in the Datasheet tab. Watch some of the videos of Dr. Science working his lab magic on the students and read the feedback from teachers. The Wacky Science Show is also available for virtual presentations for schools that can’t have an in-person science show or for online schools.
Learn why The Wacky Science Show is award-winning and consistently ranked well nationally. It’s one of the best science school shows your elementary and middle school students will ever experience!

Your Virtual Wacky Science Show was fabulous–thanks so much! You have made the transition to the virtual world amazingly well. Instead of Zoom being a necessary evil, your show looks like it was made for the virtual world, with great backgrounds, sound, and special effects. Very impressive! And we loved how you suggested checking out library books and advocated for parental involvement in the experimenting. You have lots of great science in your program, and I liked the idea of how magic takes away one of the senses to work. I was struck by the simple experiment of blowing above the paper and its relation to flight–very cool!

The presenter did a good job of engaging the audience. All of the students were really excited about the various scientific experiments. He included a lot of detailed scientific information, but presented the information in such a manner that it was understandable for all students. He also did a good job of managing the crowd and bringing the kids back when they started to get over excited to ensure they were still paying attention.

We just got to watch the Wacky Science Show and let me tell you it was phenomenal! We all know that the best way to engage kids in Science is to get things in a hands-on context with lots of visuals and sensory stimulation, and THIS show did it ALL. The kids were engaged, the kids were participating, they were clapping and I think they actually learned a few things. So, thank you Wacky Science!

The presenter was fantastic. The kids had a blast! He had all the kids completely engaged in the program. Plus, they learned a lot too. I would 100% recommend him.

Tim Mannix was absolutely fantastic and was a pleasure to work with. He engaged the kids the entire time throughout all 3 assemblies. I know that’s not an easy feat and he did it with great energy. Our staff and students raved about the show and so many parents thanked us for bringing him in after hearing their children beam about it. He exposed them to difference scientific concepts, blew their minds and hopefully inspired many to think about things differently. The auditorium was filled with WOW’s and WHOA’s and A LOT of cheering. He is truly great. I am happy to be quoted on that for a testimonial and I thank you for your help through this process.

We just got finished with a whole day of the Wacky Science Show. It was incredible. They did EVERYTHING for our classes, from kindergarten all the way up to 5th grade….and they sort of adjusted it so that it pertained to each of those grade levels. The kids laughed, they cried and they want to see it again, so I would highly recommend it!
