The latest middle school craze, this live, festival of Forces and Motion captures the attention of students and teachers alike creating a wave of frenzied fans in every town it hits. Show-goers witness Sir Isaac Newton's legendary Three Laws of Motion and experience science in a way never before seen or heard.
Here's what the fans are saying:
"This was hands-down the most interesting, attention-keeping, and thorough science show I have ever seen! I loved how the music, videos, and descriptions by the performers kept reinforcing the three Laws of Motion, so by the end of the show all the students knew them thoroughly. One student said it was the most exciting show he'd ever seen in his life! Parents, teachers, students and administrators all loved it! They're already asking me if I can bring FMA Live! back again next year."
