The Spangler Effect
Make it big, do it right, give it class - that's The Spangler Effect.
Recent Episodes
Each episode will put one science experiment, concept, project, challenge or situation under the microscope to learn how and why it's important in our daily lives. At the heart of each episode is a take-away activity that has great wow-factor but is easy enough for viewers to recreate at home using simple household items. Sketches and brainstorming sessions quickly make their way from the workshop to a real-world situation that ends with viewers saying, "I can't believe they did that!" It's entertaining and fun in such a way that viewers don't even realize that they are learning... but they're totally engaged and eager to spread the science virus.

About the Show
He's the science teacher you always wanted to have in school. Things just happen to fizz, pop, smoke and explode, and before you know it, you're a part of his learning experience. His passion is to find the most creative ways to make learning fun. His methods might be unconventional, but the goal is to turn ordinary science experiments into unforgettable learning experiences. And when it happens, it's called The Spangler Effect.
It's a series about a group of people who are passionate about finding cool ways to make science fun. They turn ordinary do-it-yourself science activities into extreme experiences that spread like a virus, make noise (literally) with crazy science challenges, produce "no way!" revelations and the occasional explosion, and help parents and educators find creative ways to get kids excited about learning.
Make it big, do it right, give it class - that's The Spangler Effect.
