Mobile Ed Productions is proud to pre-
sent Crime Scene Science,abrand-new 45-
minute program devoted to introducing
students to the exciting field of the sci-
ence behind solving crimes. In the
process, your students will be exposed to
important aspects of critical thinking,
essential not only in the Scientific
Method but in all forms of problem solv-
ing.
We show the students that this field
actually draws from all forms of science.
Chemistry, physics, and biology are all
discussed through a variety of demonstra-
tions involving lots of audience participa-
tion. Also introduced are basic rules of
observation and creative thinking, as laid
out by the famous fictional detective
Sherlock Holmes.
The audience is in-
formed of a great mystery,
"The Great Cat Caper."
Your students areasked to
put on their thinking caps
and become forensic tech-
nicians to help solve this dastardly crime.
Using different tools - including finger-
printing, DNA analysis, restoration of a
broken window, and making a casting of
afootprint - the performer will lead your
students through a fun and illuminating
journey with plenty of twists and turns -
with an ending which may surprise even
you!
Just added to Crime Scene Scienceis an
additional workshop! This amendment to
the 45-minute program allows students to
see firsthand fingerprinting, plaster cast-
ing, and other modern methods of pre-
venting and solving crime in small groups
of 20-30 kids.
With references to most scientific
fields, along with humor, a touch or two
of magic and plenty of fun, we think your
school will find Crime Scene Scienceto be
one mysteryyou will be happy to solve!
Excellent job. The kids were both
entertained and educated. We all
had fun. Great job!!!
Sacred Heart School,
Mount Holly, NJMobile Ed is still proud of this original
program created some 20 years ago. We
are now happy to announce the all new
and exciting, Amazing World of Light
program!
This 45-minute assembly performance
will allow students grades K-5 the oppor-
tunity to see the many properties of light.
What is light? How do we use light? What
are primary colors? See ultra-violet and
infrared light used to create exciting and
dramatic experiences. Strobe light is used
to stop movement, and is then used to
take still pictures and turn them into an
animated movie.
The second-half of the program is par-
ticularly exciting, culminating in a high-
end laser light demonstration. This
demonstration will be full of graphics and
words written byasingle beam of laser
light in many different colors. This is not
to be confused with other "laser light
showcompanies" as this is an educational
experience, not just a demonstration of a
large laser.
In the day-long workshop format,
small groups of students will be rotated
from station to station to view holograms,
displays of reflection and refraction, and
many other showcases of the practical
applications of light. We certainly recom-
mend this all-day format as it allows stu-
dents to dive into some concepts only
briefly touched on in the already packed
45-minute show.
The Amazing World of Lightprogram is
educational, entertaining, and will intro-
duce students to the sciences as a fascinat-
ing and meaningful curriculum. The 45-
minute presentations are tailored for each
age group (K-5) and will provide appro-
priate academic content.
This was an excellent program done
superbly. The flow was great, enjoy-
able, and informative well done.
Kosciuszko Middle School,
Milwukee, WIaIn ancienttimes magicians wielded
tremendous power in society. Of course
today we realize that the mysterious
world of magic is truly the world of sci-
ence. All magic is comprised of illusions
and the majority of illusions are based on
scientific principles. Come with us on a
journey of exploration into the science
behind the magic.
The Magic of Science allows everyone,
both in the audience and on stage, to
become a magician. Everything done in
this 45 minute program looks and acts
like a real magic trick, but the only real
trick is that everything presented is science
at work.
Science, studies in chemistry, light,
magnetism, optical illusions, physics, and
mathematics are all demonstrated.
Everything performed has a scientific
principle behind it. However, each of
these topics will appear to the audience as
achallenging and astonishing magic trick.
The 45 minute presentations are tai-
lored for each age group (K-8) and will
provide appropriate academic content.
Even moreexciting arethe "hands-on"
workshops offered as partof the full day
format. Designed for older children,
these sessions teach children to apply
principles seen earlier in the day bycre-
ating their own "take home" magic
shows. It's great fun for everyone.
Excellent program! The children
rushed to the library for books on
science to answer the questions he
gave them.
Saint Joseph School,
Las Vegas, NVTake your students on a 45 minute journey
through the universe from the comfortand
security of your own school. Our
portable, inflatable planetarium will come
right to your location and dazzle your
budding astronomers as they are taken on
atour of the solar system.
Students will enter the dome and be
introduced to a “star filled “ sky. Our nav-
igator, with the use of a laser pointer, will
guide students through the stars of the
Northern Hemisphere exactly as they
appear on the day of the presentation.
Students will learn how to identify stars
and constellations. They will be intro-
duced to Greek mythological characters
and see how these heroes of the past can
befound in the stars. Students will wit-
ness the night sky in different seasons and
from different global perspectives. They
will also be treated to a slide presentation
which enhances the presenter’stour of the
Solar System.
The Sky Dome Planetariumcan be
quickly and easily set up in most gymna-
siums or other large rooms with a high
ceiling. It has delighted students in thou-
sands of schools throughout the country
and we are confident that you will be
thrilled by the excitement and enchant-
ment this program offers.
All presentations are tailored for each
age group (K-9) and will provide appro-
priate academic content. Two domes are
available for our west and southwest terri-
tory schools. The small dome can be used
in a classroom sizesetting with up to 40
students at a time. The large dome can
accommodate up to 100 students per visit.
The dome is also handicapped-accessible.
Our new Digitalis digital projector
boasts 120,000 bright stars as opposed to
the 3,000 in the older unit. You will even
be able to watch the sun set and moon
come out. When our performer talks
about Saturn, he can zoom in on the
planet and the audience can see all the
moons and rings up close. |
Here at Mobile Ed Productions, we have
acommitment to presenting our content
in ways that students will never forget. In
Animals and the Environment, students
will learn about the impact that humans
have on animals in terms of pollution,
habitat, destruction, hunting, and the pet
industry.
Through an engaging presentation,
your students will discover many ways
humans can affect the lives of thousands
of species all over the world. We discuss
why dumping garbage in the ocean thou-
sands of miles away can trigger a chain of
events that may eventually impact the
food we eat and the products we use. We
also discuss the growing environmental
threat of vanishing marine life in the
Mexican seas.
The program climaxes with a chance to
get up close and personal with some of
the very animals being discussed. There is
nothing like a personal experience to
bring all that they have learned right into
focus.
Animals and the Environment leads
your students to consider positive changes
as they become moreaware of the inter-
relationship between humans, animals,
and the environment.Mobile Ed Productions is pleased to bring
you the newest in educational technology.
The Earth Dome is a gigantic inflatable
globe standing 19-feet high and 22-feet in
diameter. It's made of 24 huge panels
silkscreened with photographs shot from
satellites of the surface of the world on
cloud free days. It has been used exten-
sively across the United States to educate
students about geography as well as envi-
ronmental issues.
This all day format features nine half-
hour assemblies in which 35 to 45 students
(depending on grade level) and one
teacher will have a presentation both out-
side as well as inside the dome. They will
see and better understand the scale of
concepts such as continents, time zones,
latitude, longitude, and more! Even major
cities in comparison to the total earth willbe recognized. These topics are presented
to each class at the appropriate grade
level.
Although, the visit to The Earth Dome
is just a 30-minute assembly, seeing and
understanding the Earth as it appears
from space, as opposed to painted globes
or drawings, is an experience not soon
forgotten.Young Authors Day, one of Mobile
Ed's most popular programs, is
designed to support and enhance the
creative writing curriculum. This
rewarding day begins with an all
school assembly by a classically
trained Mime artist introducing stu-
dents to the "art of silence" - mime.
During the program the performer
discusses the differences between
writing for the stage and writing for
the page. He stresses the importance
of structure and he tells the students
where he got his inspiration for his
stories.
Afterwards, the students return to
their classrooms to write stories for
the performer. During the writing
process the performer stops in class-
rooms to answer questions and help
with the writing. The day culminates
with an afternoon assembly in which
the students arerecognized for their
fine workas selected stories are acted
out by the performer.
Young Authors Day is a fascinating
educational experience designed to
stimulate the imagination in all of us!
Everyone loved this show from
K-Adults. Teachers rated this as
one of the best assemblies we've
ever had. Children's imagina-
tions were sparked and they did
some awesome writing.

Mobile Ed Productions presents Benjamin
Franklin,an amazing American, inventor,
author, printer, politician and “Founding
Father” who inspires young and old alike
to be the best they can be.
The presentation is a one man produc-
tion using incredible props, a beautiful
set, music, stories, interaction, authentic
costuming, and the character of Ben
Franklin. The presenter’s amazing like-
ness of this great American helps students
immediately identify with the character.
From the moment he walks on stage the
audience feels they are in the presence of
livinghistory.
Students will have fun participating in
“old time” typesetting as they hear of
Ben’s early years as an apprentice in his
brother’s print shop. They will also hear
both familiar and unfamiliar quotes from
Poor Richard’s Almanac. Of course, the
famous kite and key experiment will be
relived by using a Van de Graff generator
to the amazement and amusement of the
students.
The presenter will perform on a theatrical
replica of Mr. Franklin’s favorite inven-
tion, the glass armonica.
This presentation will:
• Motivatestudents to read and find out
more about our country’s history.
• Inspirethem to care more about
people and respect their peers and
leaders.
• Challengetheir minds to reach for
excellence.
• Encouragepositive behavior and
virtuous character traits.
Benjamin Franklin will stir the patrio-
tism of students and faculty as he closes
the program with the moving account of
his involvement in the birth of our
nation.
Marvelous! A+ This was absolutely
the most exciting, well-executed
program our school has had the
pleasure of hosting!
Holy Family School,
Granite City, ILThis program allows students to experi-
ence why we truly believe that Physics is
Fun! The show is based on Sir Isaac
Newton and his laws of physics as well as
the inventions of Robert VandeGraff and
Nikola Tesla and will open your student's
eyes to the fascinating world of physics
and how it governs the way everything
around us moves!
The first category discusses sound;
what it is, how we hear, why we hear, and
the difference between loud and soft
sounds. Several demonstrations are used
in this segment to demonstrate these
principles.
Next, the inventions of Robert
VandeGraff and Nikola Tesla areexplored
in detail. These gentlemen pioneered
experiments in static electricity and are
responsible for many modern pieces of
electronics that we have today, yet very
few people have ever heard of them.
The next segment is dedicated to gyros
and gyroscopic stability. Large working
models of gyros are introduced to the
audience. Student and teacher participa-
tion is used to the laughter of the viewing
The final segment deals with Newton's
third law, the law of action and reaction.
In this segment the performer introduces
apulse ram jet engine. He explains how
Newton's thirdlaw applies to jet engines.
This segment is very exciting to the stu-
dents as the jet engine generates a consid-
erably high level of sound.
The 45 minute presentations are tai-
lored for each age group (K-9) and will
provide appropriate academic content.
The program comes complete with its
own visual aids, making this show the
type that all audiences can appreciate. All
demonstrations are visible in even the
largest of auditoriums. Physics is Funis
also available in an all-day format with
hands-on workshops.Washington, Lincoln, Edison, and all
other famous men of history are wonder-
ful, and their accomplishments changed
the way we live for the better. But what of
the women in history? Too often their
names are omitted and valuable lessons
and role models for our children ignored.
They Made a Difference: Women in History
addresses this issue through an exciting
forty-five minute program devoted to
illuminating the lives and work of many
of these fine women.
Touching on women such as Clara
Barton, Florence Nightingale, Madame
Curie, Amelia Earhart, Helen Keller,
Anne Sullivan, Harriet Tubman,
Margaret Mead, and Eleanor Roosevelt,
the presentation covers the fields of
science, exploration, education, public
life, and literature.
The performer adopts the role of a time
traveler sliding effortlessly from one
impersonation to another while referenc-
ing still to others. This imaginary journey
is supported through the use of rear-
screen slide projector, frequent costume
changes, and small stage props.
The teaching of history to our young
people, too frequently, may slide into a
litany of the accomplishments of famous
men, while omitting the equally impor-
tant work of the opposite sex. Though in
no way diminishing the accomplishments
of men, nor denigrating the role many
women choose to play as homemakers,
They Made a Difference allows your stu-
dents to visit other sides of life, and does
so in a fashion that is both educational
and entertaining. |
