Summary Air cannons, rubber band rockets, power from fruit, even a giant pendulum, it's all science that you can do yourself! Join Dr Rob as he SCOPES out a whole heap of experiments that you can do at home.AIR CANNONDr Rob is always dabbling in crazy science experiments in his lab, most of the time you certainly shouldn't try them at home. However today Dr Rob experiments with an air cannon, which is definitely something you can have a shot at. SHERBETHere at Scope we're big fans of two very important science experiment ingredients: vinegar and bicarbonate soda. We've used it to launched rockets, blown up balloons and we've even made a speed boat, but did you know you can make edible sherbet? Well Julia has all the ingredients to show you how.UNDERWATER VOLCANODid you know that volcanos not only occur on land but underwater the water as well? Currently there are over 5000 active volcanoes underwater and today Julia will show you how to make your very own with a few things from around the house. FRUIT BATTERYBatteries come in a variety of shapes and sizes but have you ever seen one in the shape of a lemon? Mit our junior scientist from the Australian Science & Maths School will demonstrate how different fruits can produce enough energy to power a light. PENDULUMMany things swing and today Maddy and Genna from the Australian Science & Maths School show us some swinging science experiments you can do with a pendulum. RUBBER BAND ROCKETWhat DIY science episode would be complete without making a rocket! Get ready to blast off as Julia shows us how to make a rocket powered by a rubber band.So join Dr Rob to discover all science you can do yourself, as he once again proves that the ordinary really does become extraordinary under the SCOPE!
