The Math & Science Assembly That Feels Like a Game Show

At Brian Curry Assemblies, we believe science should be loud, messy, and full of discovery. That’s why our Pop Quiz assembly turns traditional lessons into an all-out game show, complete with buzzers, bean bags, fog machines, and nonstop energy. It’s the school show where curriculum meets controlled chaos; a high-energy, interactive performance that has students laughing, learning, and shouting out answers faster than you can say “photosynthesis.”

This isn’t your average science demonstration. It’s part game show, part classroom review, and 100% engagement. And for students in the surrounding county schools, Pop Quiz has become the highlight of their academic year.

Learning That Feels Like Play
We know what it’s like to see students’ eyes glaze over when you start talking about the water cycle or test strategies. That’s why we designed Pop Quiz to take those same lessons and transform them into fast-moving, laugh-out-loud challenges that keep every student on their toes.
 
Each of our school shows in Maryland are a 40–45 minute whirlwind of competition and collaboration, where students go head-to-head in challenges that cover science and math concepts they already know, but in a way they’ve never experienced before.
It’s the perfect way to review what they’ve learned while getting them excited for what’s next. And the best part? They’ll be so busy having fun that they won’t even realize they’re learning.
 
Pop Quiz: The Ultimate Science and Math Game Show
Think of Pop Quiz as part classroom, part TV studio. Students compete in teams, buzz in with answers, and earn points as they move through six rounds of science- and math-themed challenges.
 
Along the way, they’ll tackle concepts like:

  • The Water Cycle – from evaporation to precipitation, with a few surprises along the way.

  • Estimation and Measurement – because who doesn’t love a good guessing challenge?

  • Plant Growth and Photosynthesis – reimagined through interactive fun.

  • Test-Taking Strategies – taught through humor and friendly competition.

  • Problem Solving and Logical Thinking – disguised as games so engaging, students forget it’s “review.”
     

With lights, sounds, and fog effects, the atmosphere feels more like a game show than a classroom. Students cheer for their teams, shout out answers, and celebrate each correct response. Teachers love it because it reinforces real curriculum goals...and students love it because it feels like playtime.

Where Learning Meets Laughter

At Brian Curry Assemblies, we turn science into an experience your students will never forget. Pop Quiz isn’t about memorization or test prep: it’s about curiosity, discovery, and the pure fun of learning. And with laughter, lights, and a touch of chaos, we transform the classroom into a playground of ideas.
 

So whether you’re planning a STEM day, a testing kickoff, or a school-wide celebration, this show is guaranteed to leave your students buzzing with excitement and curiosity. Just contact us today to schedule your science school assembly and bring the thrill of learning to life at your school.

Tailored for K–5 Students


Every school assembly is grade-specific, meaning we adjust the pacing, difficulty, and interaction level to match the group. Younger students experience plenty of visuals, audience participation, and hands-on moments, while older students tackle more advanced concepts and higher-energy competition.

And with a runtime of about 40–45 minutes, Pop Quiz fits perfectly into your school’s schedule. Best of all, the show requires no stage setup — we bring everything we need and can perform in your gym, cafeteria, or multipurpose room.
