Science Max: Experiments At Large is an educational science show that premiered in 2015. The show is hosted by Phil McCordic, with assistance from Judy Tsao and Ann Vandergust. Each episode explores different scientific concepts using fun, hands-on experiments that are done on a large scale.

The show is designed to appeal to young people and ignite their interest in science. The experiments are easy to replicate and make use of common household items. The show takes a playful approach to science, making it accessible and entertaining for kids.

One of the key features of the show is the use of large-scale experiments. From giant marshmallow towers to egg drop challenges, the show takes simple experiments and scales them up to a grander size. This not only makes the show visually impressive but also emphasizes the fun and playful side of science.

Another important aspect of Science Max: Experiments At Large is its educational value. While the show is entertaining, it also manages to teach kids important scientific concepts. Each experiment is explained in detail, with Phil McCordic breaking down the scientific principles behind the experiment. The show also highlights the real-world applications of these concepts to help kids understand why science is important.

Throughout the series, the hosts cover a wide range of scientific concepts. For example, one episode explores the science of rockets, teaching kids about propulsion and how rockets work. Another episode focuses on electricity, showing kids how to make a circuit and demonstrating the principles of conductivity.

The show also features appearances from real-life scientists, who help to explain some of the more complex scientific principles. These experts offer a fascinating look into the world of science and add an extra layer of educational value to the show.

Overall, Science Max: Experiments At Large is a fun and educational science show that is perfect for young people. With its large-scale experiments, engaging hosts, and educational content, the show manages to make science accessible and exciting.
