| Summary |
If you wanted to do an experiment in "zero gravity", you could go up into space and get in orbit, or you could watch this week's episode of SCOPE and see how Dr Rob does it. Because that is what this show is all about, experiments, and in particular experiments you can do at home. So join Dr Rob and his team of young scientists as they SCOPE out all the science behind a whole heap of experiments.CRACKING ICEWater is a pretty amazing thing. Most living things need it to survive, and we can find it as a gas, liquid or a sold. You can even use the properties of water to do a cracking good experiment. Hannah, a Junior Scientist with the Double Helix Club breaks a pencil using the power of water.SURFACE TENSIONSurface tension is a power thing and Double Helix member, Darci conducts not one, not two, but three different experiments to explore the how and why of surface tension. CANDLE IN A BOTTLEGravity. Nothing on earth can escape its downward pull, including water. But, Nikita from the Double Helix Club shows how water can actually be made to flow upwards using nothing but a few simple household items. DR. ROB_S EXPERIMENTJoin Dr. Rob as he experiments with making home made Ice cream, the science way.CHOCOLATE CRYSTALSMaking chocolate is a very delicate process. Factories must melt, mix and harden the chocolate in a particular way to ensure it looks good and tastes great. Join our Double Helix junior scientist Talia, to see what happens when you change the way chocolate is made. COLD PACKWe all know a traditional cold pack needs to be placed in a freezer to get cold. Well here is a cold pack with a difference. Find out how our junior scientist makes a cold pack by mixing room temperature ingredients together. HOW TALL IS A TREE?Short of climbing a tree with a large tape measure, there's only one suitable method of calculating its height and all you need is a one metre ruler. Join Amity Brand to find out how you can measure a tree in your backyard. It is round number two of elemental science, so don't forget to tune in next time as Dr. Rob once again proves that the ordinary really does become extraordinary under the SCOPE! |
