The Science of Pirates
The Science of Pirates, an engaging STEAM-based assembly, helps break out of the “mad scientist” theme with an exciting nautical twist! Mariners have pushed knowledge and technology forward ever since humans launched the first log-raft, so who better to explore STEAM and excite kids’ curiosity than a swashbuckling pirate!? Featuring real-life demonstrations and immersive audience participation this show asks: How are the winds and ocean currents made? How is a sail like a wing? What are the forces behind a cannon ball’s flight? Are navigation and map-making really math? Did pirates use simple machines? These and other mysteries are explored and exploded during this exciting program.
