A juggling physics lesson with fire and exploding objects. (just
kidding)
"Rhys Thomas is amazing!"
A former junior high school teacher, Rhys decided he'd rather
juggle knives. He couldn't cut out teaching, however, so he created
"The Science Circus"--an exploration of Newtonian physics through
circus arts.
Explore gravity through bowling ball juggling, gyroscopic
stability through glass bowl spinning, centripetal force with
cowboy lariats, center of mass on an acrobatic ladder, and inertia
with the old tablecloth pull. Add the irresistible force of levity
to even more tricks and you've got a rough idea of what the Science
Circus is all about.
