Science Fair Spectacular

A Musical About Great Scientists

By Sonya Piper & Mark Burrows
Grades: 3–5
Speaking Roles: 14

Science meets the stage in Science Fair Spectacular, an energetic educational musical that celebrates great scientists, big discoveries, and the excitement of asking, experimenting, and learning!

Created especially for Grades 3–5, this cross-curricular production brings music and science together as students explore the people and ideas that have helped shape our understanding of the world. Featuring music and recordings from Mark Burrows's Go, Galileo!, the show gives young performers an entertaining way to encounter science through singing, acting, and storytelling.

With an original script featuring 14 speaking parts, Science Fair Spectacular provides plenty of opportunities for students to take center stage while incorporating additional performers through the musical numbers. The combination of memorable music, historical science connections, and theatrical fun makes this an excellent choice for elementary music programs, science celebrations, STEM events, and interdisciplinary school productions.

Teachers and directors also get an extensive collection of production resources. Staging ideas, costume suggestions, and teaching tips help simplify the rehearsal process, while reproducible student scores, lyric pages, scripts, posters, and program templates make it easier to organize the entire production.

A full performance recording and accompaniment tracks are also included, giving directors the flexibility to rehearse and perform without assembling a live instrumental ensemble.

Whether you're a music teacher looking to add a little science to your stage or an elementary school searching for a creative way to celebrate STEM, Science Fair Spectacular turns learning into a show!
