Using Science to Investigate the Strange and Mysterious

Mystery Investigators Live On Stage

The Unknown?

Using real science and magic tricks, we closely investigate the so-called ‘unknown’. What is true? What has already been shown to be fake? What remains to be discovered?

Students will learn that Science is not just for those who wish to pursue a career in the various scientific fields. Science and Critical thinking are important life skills that may be applied throughout their life. The Mystery Investigators show puts these skills to use in a manner that makes science relevant by drawing on the fun elements of popular culture.

Kids love learning about the strange and bizarre. The Mystery Investigators believes in a ‘hands-on’ approach to teaching and demonstrating… .

The workshop offers a chance for your students to learn all about the scientific study of claims of the paranormal and supernatural. Each popular claim, fire-walking, bed of nails, ESP and so on, is examined during the show to demonstrate that science can easily explain these apparently supernatural phenomena. With each claim, students learn a different area of scientific investigation (heat conductivity, pressure, double-blind testing) and the results of other investigations from all over the world. We involve everyone, including teachers, in the experiments.

This show will demonstrate to your students valuable critical thinking skills by applying them to wacky claims that appear in popular culture and the importance of science as it is applied in life in general....not just to the students who take on science as a career.

The show can run for 40, 50 even up to 90 minutes, with time for questions and answers about anything to do with claims of the paranormal and supernatural. (Monsters, UFO, etc.)

Each student also gets a free copy of our newsletter and the teacher will receive a full set of teachers' notes containing information on the modules demonstrated during the show and suggested references for further study.
