| Summary |
Science is about to get even cooler, literally! This episode of Scope is all about ice. Learn about the very chilly art of ice sculpting, find out how penguin enclosures are kept icy cold, discover what an Ice Chemist does for a living, and get the low down on the super cool sport of Ice Hockey. And if you thought this episode couldn't get any cooler, we also check out some frosty frogs that have the special knack of freezing and thawing themselves! ICE SCULPTINGIf you thought building a snowman was impressive, think again! Meet Glenn Smith, Ice Sculptor from Down Under Ice Designs who lets us in on the secrets of this very chilly art. SCOPE IN A FLASHTed reveals some cool facts about some frosty frogs who survive winter by freezing themselves and then thawing out during spring!PENGUIN ENCLOSUREWhen penguins live in captivity it is important to ensure their icy cold natural environment is well replicated. Tanith Davis, Lead Bird Keeper at Melbourne Aquarium shows us what it takes to keep the enclosure perfect for the penguins preferred conditions. EXPERIMENT: SALTY ICE SCULPTURESIn this ice-cold experiment, Junior Scientist Lilli tries some ice sculpting of her own and discovers some interesting science in the combination of materials she uses. ICE CORE DRILLINGIce may seem like a rather simple substance, but when it's drilled from Antarctica and put under the scope, there's a lot more to it than you think! Dr Mark Curran, Ice Chemist from the Australian Antarctic Division shows us how ice cores are drilled and explains what the ice can teach scientists about our planet's past. ICE HOCKEYGet the lowdown on this high-speed sport played on a low-temp surface when Fraser Carson and Adrian Nash from the Melbourne Mustangs introduce us to their super cool game. So prepare to be thrilled and chilled and join Dr Rob, as once again the ordinary becomes extraordinary, under the SCOPE |
