The Science Mobile
"Science Bob" Pflugfelder has been a fan of science since he was just six years old. Over the years, he has been exploring the scientific world with thousands of students. He also encourages parents and teachers to practice "Random Acts of Science" by trying out interactive science experiments that they can find on his site to help make science come alive.
Bob has been featured on television and in several magazines including People, Bop, and Nickelodeon Magazine for his work teaching science to many well-known young actors.
Bob found it was a lot of work setting up labs at studios, so he purchased an ambulance and turned it into his own traveling mobile science lab! He would take it right to the movie and TV studios to teach his students. His students have included: David Gallagher, Michelle Trachtenberg, Jonathan Lipnicki, Hillary Duff, Frankie Muniz, Haley Joel Osment, Tahj Mowrey, Dylan & Cole Sprouse, and many others.
But don't be surprised if Science Bob shows up in your classroom some day - when not teaching his more well-known students, he teaches outside of Boston and visits schools for fun hands-on science demonstrations.
Of course, Bob also loves answering the questions that you send to him here at ScienceBob.com. So next time you see a big blue science ambulance driving around your neighborhood, don't worry, it's just Science Bob on his way to another adventure.
