| Summary |
Air! Even though we are constantly surrounded by it, most of us barely give it a second thought, so what is it? How much of it is there and what does it do? Join Dr Rob for a very airy episode of Scope, as we bounce around on some jumping castles, try and find out the speed of smell and buckle down in a wind tunnel. AIR 101Need to get the basics on what air is, what it does and what it's made up of? Dr Rob to the rescue! Jumping CastleThink air is a bit boring? Well turn up the fun-o-metre and join Ian Burge from Jumping J-Jays as he shows us just how fun air can be, when it is pumped into jumping castles!SMELL TESTDr Rob rounds up some budding young scientists from Oakleigh State School and conducts a few aromatic tests to find out how quickly smells travel in air and which smells travel faster, or slower.AIR ARCHIVEDo you like to collect things? Books, toys, maybe even stamps? Well what about air? Join Atmospheric Research Scientist Michael Leist from CSIRO as he explains how and why he collects samples of air. WEATHER SYSTEMSEver wondered how weather presenters predict the weather one week ahead of time? Paul Lainio from the Bureau of Meteorology explains. RACE CAR AERODYNAMICSAir can be a real drag for race cars, which is why engineers Scott Wordley and Luke Phersson from Monash University, work to reduce air resistance in the cars they build. Join them as they explain their work.So don't forget to blow into Dr Rob's bunker as we once again prove that the ordinary really does become extraordinary, under the SCOPE! |
