Floor. One child among many. Waiting in anticipation.
BAM! The show begins with the first experiment.
He sees it, he hears it, he feels it.
The story is alive. Science is learned.
And on the way home, he asks his mom...
When can we go back?
Piccirillo Sciencetelling offers high energy,
dynamic performances that will give the children of the community
a positive, fun library experience.
We offer two types of programs:
Demonstrations and
Live Assemblies. The
programs listed below are available for libraries.
Potions (Theme - Dry Ice)

hidden underground laboratory. And as the story goes, Doolittle is
watched by a ferocious guard determined to protect its mysteries
forever. Join us as we learn about the concept of matter, its three
states (solid, liquid, and gas), and how to change matter from one
state to another by telling the tale of Doolittle as we discover the
secrets of this hidden laboratory, perform narrow escapes, witness
surprising discoveries, and reveal an unbelievable ending. With
screaming quarters, jets of gas to taste, popping potions,
incredible showers of smoke-filled bubbles, and buckets of fog,
discover how all of this is created by the two “coolest” things in
the world...Dry Ice and Imagination! This demonstration is suitable
for all ages.
