On this episode, Dr Rob has gone a little green! No he's not sick; he's taking a look at everything renewable, sustainable, recyclable and eco-friendly as SCOPE takes a look into the world of Eco-Science. ECO-SCIENCE 101The whole world is talking about going 'green', but what does that actually mean? Rhyming aside, Dr. Rob takes a look at the meanings and processes behind sustainable, carbon neutral living.EXPERIMENT - WIND TURBINESPinwheels are fun and colourful! In this experiment, Julia gets in a spin as she discovers pinwheels are just like miniature wind turbines, and attempts to find out which materials make the best one.BATTERY RECYCLINGThese days, batteries are used in almost every electronic device. But what happens to them once they are empty? We join Bruce Jackson from MRI as he shows us the process behind recycling large, industrial batteries.HYDRO ELECTRICITYWater is our biological life force and perhaps it also could become a leading power source. Matthew Evans, from Paronella Park, takes us through the flowing process of hydro electricity. SUSTAINABLE FISHINGFish - it's healthy, tasty and 'shrimply the bass!' But fishing industries are being warned not to over-fish our seas. In this story, Professor Tim Ward from SARDI shows us how he and his team are working towards making sure fishing is sustainable for the future. RECTANGULAR STADIUMWhen it comes to stadium sports these days, goals aren't just being kicked on the field. Scott Campbell, of Grocon Construction, talks us through the process of constructing Melbourne's new eco-friendly stadium.So green up your day and join Dr Rob as he once again proves that the ordinary really does become extraordinary; under the SCOPE! |
