Physics and the Bicycle, Charles Dauwe (Belgium)

This show illustrates how physics is omnipresent in sports. The performers concentrate on the bicycle as almost the totality of high school physics can be experienced and rediscovered by observing and analysing what we do when riding a bike.A workshop linked to this show will demonstrate how the underlying links between physics and sports can be used in the classroom.

Physics in our Life,  Rositsa Konova (Bulgaria)

This on stage activity is a play about three scientists (Physicist, Chemist and Biologist) and their assistants, who represent the relations between life and science and between different spheres of science. The play will demonstrate how all science work together and how they determine our life. All experiments, which are shown in the play are simple; they can be used in the classroom

“SOS – The giants are coming” – Novel and simple experiments on polymers by pupils, Jutta Brueckmann (Germany)

This on stage activity is a compilation of modern lessons in chemistry, involving research, technology and everyday life.  Very simple, hands on experiments with basic substances on polymers will be demonstrated in a sensible didactically manner. Any experiment is a classroom ready product.

Biology Courses – Tania Christoforatou (Greece)

This show is a theatrical play, in verse and rhyming, addressing Biology lessons about various life functions. Emphasis is given to the factors, which influence negatively our organism. The audience will learn about body functions related to the broader question what being human means.

The People’s Planetarium Steve Smyth, Liz Willcocks (UK)

This on stage activity is a simple drama presentation, where the presenters use members of the audience to create a dynamic representation of the Solar System. This performance can be done in virtually any venues, like in a planetarium, school, and university or at a science festival, etc. The audience will see how groups of non-professionals can be trained quickly to give performances. By involving participants form the audience the performers show how the concept can be used and adapted for different groups. 

Einstein And The Jumping Doppler Cows - Max Bazovsky,  Marina Polonsky (Slovakia)

This multifaceted show / presentation  by four people (supported by multimedia and physical handouts) gives a full lesson plan for alternative teaching of the Doppler effect with live "student" simulations that have surprised and amused even experienced teachers.  The presentation proceeds from, a science fantasy story of Einstein's dream about the jumping Doppler cows, as related to different ratios of the speeds of light,  sound and of the electric current in aluminium electric fences.
