Roll up for a hilarious theatre show for children based on the national science curriculum KS 1&2. Can science shows for schools be funny? Can science shows be interesting? Will this show stimulate interest in science? You bet!	Supported by

Children are curious – Why do birds sing, what makes a rainbow, why don’t fish drown in the sea, and why do dogs sniff each other’s bottoms? Curiosity drives the desire to understand, and this science show for schools stimulates that desire.

William B Curious sets out to look for the source of sound, the poetry of learning, and the Rainbow at the End of the Science Curriculum.

Footprints in the Sky is a science show for schools, devised, written and performed by a former research scientist and teacher with over twenty years experience of performing for children - A cross curricular comic performance for primary age schoolchildren, it stimulates curiosity and interest in science, additionally linking to the arts, drama and literacy curriculum.

Any science show for kids must be funny and exciting. Footprints in the Sky is a comic theatre show that makes children laugh. It's interactive theatre, so they get involved - Is he really going to soak their favourite teacher - NO, but it gets them interested in the waster cycle! Where did that rude noise come from when he sat down - can we find the source of a sound? Science is about fun and understanding and this science show for schools leaves pupils wanting more and asking questions without realising that they are learning

THE SCIENCE SHOW

A flying walking stick, a honking cushion, a crazy kazoo, and a magic hat, accompany our hero on an adventure into absurdity as he attempts to unravel the mystery of the Book of Questions on an improbable but hilarious romp to discover the delightful comedy to be found in the National Science Curriculum KS 1&2 (mainly KS 1).

Magic, theatre, poetry and clowning become fused into a performance that takes the audience from curiosity, through laughter, to understanding.

"The children were utterly engaged in the performance and brilliantly entertained. As a teacher of twenty years I thought it was phenomenal - certainly one of the best things we have ever had in the school. It concluded our science week superbly, highlighting what science is all about - asking questions! Pitched perfectly - you understand what children need. CG - Science Coordinator

'I learned to ask lots of questions for science and it made me think because it made science sound good and funny' - Luke Age 10

"Very different and very good!" - Science teacher

"I believe that the purpose of theatre in education is to produce high quality children's theatre that captivates children and stimulates their curiosity, leaving them with a thirst for knowledge and desperate to learn more." - Will B Curious

'A really entertaining performance - the children were learning without even knowing it' Science teacher

Science Show for Schools - More Information

Footprints in the Sky is an interactive comic theatre show based on the national science curriculum KS 1&2 that has been performed in infant schools, primary schools and special schools throughout England. This science show for children aims to make children curious about science, and to make children appreciate that science is interesting and fun, and above all, relevant to their lives.

The purpose of this science show for schools is not so much to teach children (that’s best left to teachers), but to get pupils interested in science, by teaching that science is simply a way to understand the natural world. Although this is an educational show, it is a theatre performance in its own right that can be enjoyed independently of its educational content, and is as suitable for theatres and other venues. As the performance engaging and funny (and quite exciting at times), children in the audience are not aware that it is an educational show, and learn without being aware of it. This circumvents the barriers that some children put up when presented with education, particularly science education. The show has a storyline, and a journey of discovery, which leads to knowledge and transformation, transcending the limitations of an educational show about science.

Footprints in the Sky is a science show for kids performed by a research scientist working for a multinational pharmaceutical and chemical company who achieved the prestigious academic requirements for a Licentiate of the Royal Institute of Chemistry. He went on to teach and pursued scientific research into novel uses for natural and recyclable materials. In the Seventies he researched new approaches to organic farming and has also taught art and design. He is currently a teacher of the Alexander Technique, and for the last twenty years has been a professional children’s theatre performer and children’s entertainer.
