Join Scientific Sue's quest to capture and train dragons, exploring flight, fire types, and engineering wonders in an innovative show!
Join Sue as she explores the thrilling world of young Vikings and dragons, unravelling the mysteries of dragon flight and fire. Discover the secrets of various 'fire types' such as steam, ice fog, explosive gases, burning rocks, flammable gases, and mesmerizing smoke and flames.
Is Cressida Cowell, the author of How to Train a Dragon, a scientific genius or a masterful storyteller? This show aims to uncover the truth. Sue's interactive quest calls upon brave volunteers to assist her, making the experience immersive and unforgettable. Celebrate the diverse dragon species, including Norbert, the fire-breathing dragon, and Jessica, the icy fog-breathing dragon, as they introduce their newest family member, Stormfly. However, a challenge looms – baby Stormfly struggles to take flight. Can the scientific breakthroughs demonstrated in the show help Stormfly soar through the skies?
The Science of Dragons is an explosive, educational journey that blends storytelling with scientific exploration, leaving audiences spellbound and inspired. Perfect for schools, libraries, and community events, this show promises to be a memorable experience that ignites curiosity and a love for science in young minds.
