All of Steve's shows last approximately one hour and can be tailored to meet the level of students ranging from Kindergarten to grade 6. The shows are also ideal for family audiences at libraries or community centers and for scout groups. Shows are designed to accommodate up to 300 individuals, however this number is flexible depending on the size of the facility.
Single performances cost $ 500.00, 2 shows cost $ 750.00 and three shows are $1,000.00. All prices are based on doing the same show in the same location on the same day. Travel fees are included in the show price for all locations up to 100 miles from New York City. Outside of this area, additional travel fees may apply.
The Dirtmeister® brings all his own equipment (including a sound system) so the only thing that must be provided by the host location is a table for him to set up on. All science shows can be coupled with a book signing by the Dirtmeister® as part of the event. The following is a current listing of show titles with a brief overview of each.
This is the show that gave rise to the Phantastic Physical Phenomena television and book series and it explores the role of physics in everyday life. The program features about 20 different demonstrations dealing with forces, Newton's Laws of Motion and the interaction of sound and light energy. All experiments are 100% safe and participants are encouraged to try them at home. This program makes an ideal "kick-off" for school science fairs.
This show examines the physics of air and begins with a look at air as a state of matter. We then explore some of the ways that air pressure can be changed and used to do everything from unclog a drain to fly a plane. The program concludes with a look at what makes rockets fly and the launch of rather unique space vehicle!
This show explores the science of sound examining how sounds are made and transmitted and how musical instruments are designed. Along the way, participants see sound waves in action, hear sounds underwater and discover why sound is really just energy for the ears!
This show looks at the science behind many of the sports that kids love to play and covers a wide range of topics. We begin with a look at athletes and why reaction time and hand-eye coordination is so important. We then explore the roles played by inertia, leverage, angular momentum, friction and gravity in everything from bowling and basketball to soccer and golf!
