Led by our experienced team, circus themed classroom activities are linked directly to the curriculum. This program covers the Grade 4 Science unit on forces. It can also be a useful way to give your Grade 3 pupils a gentle introduction to this topic - or as a refresher for older pupils.

Key concepts:

  • Forces can push, pull or twist objects
  • Balanced and unbalanced forces
  • Contact and non-contact forces
  • Force can be used to change the speed of an object, change its direction or shape
  • Friction and gravity

Australian Curriculum:
Physical sciences (ACSSU076)
Forces can be exerted by one object on another through direct contact or from a distance.

Elaborations:
•  observing qualitatively how speed is affected by the size of a force
•  exploring how non-contact forces are similar to contact forces in terms of objects pushing and pulling another object
•  comparing and contrasting the effect of friction on different surfaces
•  investigating the effect of forces on the behaviour of an object through actions such as throwing, dropping, bouncing and rolling

Supporting materials are supplied, allowing the teachers to assess students’ understanding of the concepts.

“The parents were astounded and blown away! They were particularly impressed that all the children were "stars" and they all had the opportunity to shine.”

Julie Wilkinson, Principal, Solway Primary School

“This week at our Transition program for the new prep students who are to join our school next year, there was a little fellow who was reluctant and reticent. One of our year 5 students- Juan pulled out three of his own juggling balls and proceeded to entertain him and bring a smile to that little ones face! So the skills will live on – not just for a one off school performance.”

Gayle Cope, Principal, Wattle Park Primary School

“Thanks for the whole Little Devils experience. The trainer was FANTASTIC and had great rapport with the students. They were very skilled in their teaching throughout, extremely well organised, and we would love to do it all again next year!”

Sandringham Primary School

“It was an absolutely wonderful experience for the students, parents and staff. One we will never forget.It was so rewarding to watch the students' efforts along with their broad smiles. They were so, so proud of their achievements and accomplishments!. The performance was well timed, choreographed, glittering costumes and disciplined. The students knew what to do and it was wonderful to see the continued support offered by the trainers throughout the show. The night was a huge success, and I knew that it would be well received and appreciated by everyone once they saw the finished product.”

Gayle Cope, Principal, Wattle Park Primary School

“As the Performing Arts Co-ordinator, I was extremely happy with the way Little Devils worked in with the school. Our communication was clear and the concert ran smoothly with fantastic parent feedback. Our best Concert Ever. Thank You!”
