| Summary |
This week Scope is diving head first into the world of EXTREMES - the fastest, the hottest, the oldest, the tallest and the most extreme of the extreme! We mess about with a high speed camera, get the facts about the extremely old and famous Egyptian Pharaoh - Tutankharmun, and take a look at the many extreme places within our solar system! HIGH SPEED CAMERAWe all know it - things look much cooler in super slow-mo! Dr Rob chats to Ridley Williams from Slow Motion Cameras Australia and finds out how high speed cameras work, and gets a few water balloons thrown in his face at the same time! EXTREME MILK RAINBOW EXPERIMENTThe milk rainbow is a classic science demonstration, but Students from Thebarton College take this experiment to the Extreme! Trading up from a bowl to a small pool this milk rainbow experiment is extremely big!EUREKA TOWERRob Rabba from Eureka Skydeck takes us on a tour of Australia's second biggest building and shows us its extreme features. A cube in the Eureka Tower is specially built to have the illusion of glass shattering and then turning see-through, so whoever is standing in there feels like they might fall through.EXTREME-O-METREGoing to theme parks is already pretty extreme but imagine if you had a wristband that could measure exactly how extreme your day of adventure rides was? Jeremy Nance from Lunar Park introduces us to a new technology that does just that and can even share the results with your friends through social media.SKAAstronomer Carol Jackson from CSIRO introduces us to the Square Kilometre Array, the world's biggest and most sensitive radio telescope. It will be built in 2016 and will allow us to see further into space than ever - now that's extreme.EXTREMES IN SPACEThe most extreme mountains, distances and temperatures on Earth, pale in comparison to the extremes in space. Astrophysicist Lisa Germany from Swinburne University lets us in on some of the biggest, widest and hottest things in Space.So sit back and enjoy Scope, to the extreme, as Dr Rob once again proves that the ordinary becomes extraordinary, under the Scope |
