Dr Bunhead's Exploding Energy Show

a show about energy & temperature

Dr Bunhead with fingers in his ears

Dr Bunhead explodes a laboratory full of untamed foodstuffs to explore the high-octane world of energy and forces, all in the name of science.

With the help of volunteer scientists from the audience, you’ll witness bangs, bombs, burps and bucket-loads more spectacular science.

This explosive show relates the abstract world of energy & forces to everyday objects.
