  • Trace and Sophie watch clips of somersaulting, and then use an array of clips highlighting the talent - and physics - required to complete the perfect somersault or two ... or three, or four, or five.

  • Trace and Sophie take a look at successful, and not so successful, home and classroom science experiments. Concepts include combustion, air pressure, chemical reactions and plenty of fire.

  • Learning about stick bombs; watching the self-proclaimed longest stick bomb go off; Trace and Sophie break down the physics and demo their own stick bomb in studio.

  • We explore how we can convert pressure into kinetic energy through displacement; we reuse our jet ski acrobat, this time highlighting his technique of diving the craft and using the force of the water to propel him.
