| Summary |
We live in a fast paced world, where everyone and everything is constantly on the move. And that's exactly what this episode is all about, as SCOPE takes a look at race cars, speed skaters, nomadic swans, homemade rockets and much more!RACE CARSTo kick things off, we jump in the fast lane and take a look at a race car! Johanna Austin and Jesse Walker from RMIT show us how they designed and built their very own speed demon. EXPERIMENT - SAUCE BOTTLE ROCKETRockets are traditionally expensive and dangerous things. Once again, however, Julia has been her resourceful self and in this experiment shows us how to create and launch our very own rockets using the power of air!SKI LIFTSSkiing is a much-loved winter past-time all over the world; walking back up a snowy hill is strangely not as popular. But never fear, as we team up with Jessica Abrahamson from Mt Buller Ski Fields, to learn about the easy way of getting back to the top!MONITORING SWANSKeeping track of one animal can be tricky enough, let alone hundreds of them! However, that is exactly the job of Raoul Mulder from The University of Melbourne, and in this story he shows us how he is monitoring the movements of Albert Parks swan population.HISTORICAL SHIPPINGHave you ever wondered how products were transported before the days of trains and planes? To find out, we drop into the South Australian Maritime Museum, where Mandi Dimitriadis talks us through the history of shipping.SPEED SKATINGThese days it seems humans can go fast on just about any surface. Putting that theory to the test, this story enters the world of ice and speed skating as Lachlan Hay, speed skater extraordinaire, talks us through his sport and the physics behind it. So get yourself moving and join Dr Rob as he once again proves that the ordinary really does become extraordinary; under the SCOPE! |
