A "FUN" approach and strategy for teaching science, math, music and language arts to elementary and middle school students. The book is a manual for presenting a 1 ½ hour “Interactive, Chemistry/Physics Show” for a multitude of audiences from Preschool through 8th grade, integrating the subjects using a space science theme…a show filled with science, magic, music, aliens, experiments, as well as directions for building a mission control panel, alien costumes, student uniforms, building a space shuttle cabin that holds about 24 students or more, along with using 54 audience participants. Twenty-one chapters are filled with instructions and step-by-step directions, dialogue, diagrams, pictures, suggested activities, objectives, experiments, sample letters, permission forms and certificates to help guide teachers to be creative in their teaching to be able to present the show to their schools.

"Wait till you see the excitement on the children's faces!!! " I have seen the show twice as well as read this book. The book is well written and logically organized for anyone to do the space show. Added benefit are the listing of web sites and illustrations that help make the show that much better. Any kid as well as any adult will find the show informative and fun. I cannot describe the children's excitement and fun during the show. Parents come up to Mrs. Hart after the show telling her how spellbound their children were during the show. This is no BS! The way scientific fact and theorem were presented in the show will really make your kid want to learn and have fun doing it.
"I'VE SEEN THIS SHOW!!!!!" I was a student of Mrs. Bojtos's on Guam. This show blew my mind. I may have just been young, but it was the most amazing thing I had ever seen. There were so many magic tricks and science experiments... It kept my interest because I never knew what was going to happen next. And the space shuttle was awesome. I recommend to anyone who teaches science, math, or theatre to get this book. If you want to capture young minds, this is the way to go. It worked on me. I never got below a 90 in any science class after having Mrs. Bojtos.
"Space Show at Feltwell Elementary School " The note below was posted on my web site (www.sandrahartonline.com) about a show I preformed in March 2006. The experience was a unique one for our students. I was skeptical that they could maintain their attention for such an extended period of time, but clearly, Ms. Hart proved me wrong. Students were at the edge of their seats, and there was never a dull moment. 6 June 2006 by Tom LaRue Principal, Feltwell ES
