Maybe we could actually understand Stacey Solomon (UK semi celebrity) if slowed down this much!

I am in the middle of watching this 3 part show on BBC2 in the UK. This show is exactly the kind of thing you are after. It follows a science teacher and his class as he introduces a project in order to get them interested in science. He uses fireworks as a hook and they follow through chemicals making light, watching a professional display (and helping the organisers) through to creating their own demonstration.

These kids did not like science at all before the project started, but their faces when he was showing them stuff were complete fascination and they were extremely enthusiastic.

The show is available on the BBC iPlayer but I am not sure if this can be used worldwide so you might have to look elsewhere in order to get the show. Hopefully you will get chance to watch this as it should give you some ideas.
