"I never knew science could be so much fun!" The British Science Association

Welcome to Science Shows for Schools and Aardvark Science. We provide exciting, professional and great value for money shows about science performed in your venue.

Science Shows for Schools is a unique company. We are a small team of teachers who are passionate about science. Unlike other companies we do not employ actors (with no science experience) or students (with no performance experience) to present our shows. We are so confident you will love our shows that we offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee.




Excellent value for money
Book us to visit your school and for less than half the cost of a typical visit to a science centre three times as many of your students will witness the best that science has to offer. Click on this link for our prices. Click on this link to learn more about our shows.

Easy for you to arrange

The highest quality
We pride ourselves on the consistent quality of our shows. We are professional science presenters who are all teachers with past performing experience. We receive no funding to perform our shows, we are totally funded by bookings from schools and festivals. As such you can be assured that the performance you see will be of the highest standard- every show we perform is an advert for our next booking.

The Big Bang (the UK's largest school's science and engineering event) and The BT Young Scientist Exhibition in Ireland. we also took a show to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and received two 4/5 star reviews.

Thank you to all those people in Aberdeen who made our visit to Satrosphere for the British Science
Association annual challenge event so enjoyable. Science Shows for Schools have designed this year's challenge
that will be sent to all Aberdeen city and shire schools this National Science and Engineering Week. Nearly 40 teachers attended the event where they witnessed a presentation from James Soper of Science Shows for Schools and then tried out the challenge for themselves.
