| Summary |
Stick a-round for an episode of SCOPE that goes a-round and a-round the science of all things that are round! Find out how to make giant bubbles, discover how different sports balls fly through the air and follow a balloon on its journey into the atmosphere!BALL AERODYNAMICSWhat do soccer, tennis and golf balls have in common? They are all round! Adrian Kiratidis from the University of Adelaide explains exactly how these balls fly through the air with the help of some physics.PROJECT HORUSIt might be easy to forget sometimes that we live on a round planet - so it's great to be able to get a little perspective on how things look for up there! Terry Baume from Project Horus shows us how they get some pretty cool vision of Earth from around 30 km up in the sky using a helium filled balloon that has a camera attached! JUNIOR EXPERIMENT: GIANT BUBBLESBubbles are pretty fun (and round), but do you know what's more fun? GIANT bubbles! CSIRO Double Helix Club members Amber, Teegon and Ryan experiment with different ways to great big bubbles. SPMTThe Self Propelled Modular Transporter or SPMT is a perfect fit for our round episode. Why? Because it is a transport system that has not 2, not 4 but 24 wheels! Gerard 'Bluey' Byrne from the ASC takes us for a spin on a machine which can move super big things like naval ships.CENTRIFUGEThere are plenty of round devices built to spin but Biochemist Andrew Hill from the University of Melbourne shows us one that is dear to our heart at Scope- because it is very important to a lot of scientific research. The centrifuge is great at separating very small things such as particles and Andrew shows us how it helps him in his research. So round everyone up and join Dr Rob as the ordinary becomes extraordinary, under the SCOPE |
