Science has never been this much fun! In this exciting, interactive show, children don’t just watch science—they become part of the adventure. They’ll discover amazing experiments that they can actually recreate at home or in the classroom using simple, everyday materials. Every experiment is carefully chosen to be safe, easy to understand, and age-appropriate. There are no dangerous chemicals, no fire, and no risky demonstrations—just hands-on science that sparks curiosity, encourages critical thinking, and shows children that science is something everyone can enjoy. Throughout the program, young scientists will predict outcomes, make observations, ask questions, and discover the surprising science behind everyday phenomena. They’ll cheer, laugh, volunteer, and actively participate as one exciting experiment leads to the next. Best of all, the fun doesn’t end when the show is over. Children leave inspired to continue exploring, experimenting, and learning on their own. By showing that science is exciting, approachable, and full of surprises, this program helps build confidence, creativity, and a lifelong love of discovery.
How this Show Supports STAAR Skills
Science Process Skills
- Asking scientific questions
- Making careful observations
- Predicting outcomes before an experiment
- Forming hypotheses
- Conducting simple investigations
- Collecting and interpreting evidence
- Drawing conclusions based on observations
- Communicating results
Scientific Method
Students practice the steps of the scientific method:
- Question
- Research
- Hypothesis
- Experiment
- Report/Conclusion
Critical Thinking
- Comparing results
- Identifying patterns
- Cause-and-effect relationships
- Using evidence to support conclusions
- Solving problems through investigation
Scientific Vocabulary
The show reinforces age-appropriate science vocabulary such as:
- Observe
- Predict
- Hypothesis
- Experiment
- Evidence
Reading and Listening Skills
Students strengthen their ability to:
- Follow multi-step directions
- Listen for key details
- Make predictions
- Explain observations using evidence
- Answer questions about informational content
Mathematics Connections
Many experiments naturally reinforce:
- Estimation
- Sequencing
- Recognizing patterns
TEKS-Aligned Skills
The program supports elementary science TEKS by encouraging students to:
- Use scientific practices to investigate questions.
- Plan and conduct simple investigations.
- Use scientific tools appropriately.
- Analyze and interpret data.
- Construct explanations based on evidence.
- Communicate scientific ideas.
- Develop curiosity about the natural world.
STEM Skills
The show also encourages:
- Curiosity
- Creativity
- Collaboration through audience participation
- Problem-solving
- Logical reasoning
- Inquiry-based learning
Why Schools and Libraries Love It
Unlike a lecture or assembly where students simply watch, Science You Can Do invites children to think like scientists. They make predictions, test ideas, observe results, and discover why something happens. This active participation reinforces the same inquiry and reasoning skills that help students succeed not only on the STAAR assessment but also in everyday science learning.
The result is a program that is both highly entertaining and educational, giving students a memorable experience while strengthening the scientific thinking skills they use throughout the school year.
“How fortunate were our students to have had the opportunity last Thursday, May 21. The talent that you are blessed with was so appreciated and enjoyed by our students and staff at Maple Lawn Elementary school. You had the children fully engaged 100% of the time and they loved it. I wish you bounteous good fortune so that you are able to share your message with children for many years to come. Thank you for being here with us.”
