Energetic and entertaining enough for younger students who appeared to enjoy it. The uber-cool year 7 students found themselves engaged very quickly.

The hit ABC Radio National’s Science Show series Hermes and the Naked Flame comes to life as a madcap science adventure of galactic proportions. The story follows the adventures of three children whose imaginations whisk them away on a quantum leap through the world’s greatest scientific mysteries.

Exploring history’s most inspiring minds including Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein, students learn about the laws of physics that they experience in their everyday lives such as time, gravity and energy. With plenty of highly animated slapstick comedy and clever sound effects, students from prep to Year 7 will have a supercosmic time!

Hermes and the Naked Flame was initially developed as a radio play for ABC Radio National’s Science Show.
