Join us as we get some air in a monster truck, experiment with some water balloons, demolish a building or two and have a smashing time with glass! GLASSIf you have ever played cricket in your backyard, you have probably seen glass break, but did you know there are different types of glass and they all break in different ways? Join Dr Rob as he dons some protective gear and tests out the 'smashability' of glass, all under the watchful eye of Gavan Harrop from G James Glass.MONSTER TRUCKSMonster trucks are truly monstrous!
