S2 E43: Tree Farm Christmas trees are an essential ingredient in a great Christmas - you can decorate them, put presents underneath them, but have you ever wondered how they grow? We head to a tree farm to find out all the details from Craig McClellan Gingerbread Tree Experiment Another great Christmas tradition is eating yummy food, so Julia decided that was a perfect topic for this week's experiment! She not only bakes and creates a fabulous Christmas tree out of gingerbread, but experiments with different recipes too! Making Puppets A fun part of Christmas morning is opening presents! We thought a great gift from us to you is a visit to puppet-maker Sue Harris. She lets us in on how she makes her amazing puppets and fills us in on the science of puppetry! Christmas Carols Singing is fun and makes you feel great and when Christmas time rolls around there are awesome carols to sing! We're treated to a special performance from the Australian Youth Choir as chorister Laura, tells us all about the science of singing. Bowling Machine Christmas and summer go hand in hand, and summer wouldn't be the same without cricket. We scope out the latest in bowling training technology with Marc Portus, a Sports Scientist from Cricket Australia. Big Tree So far in this episode we've seen fake trees, real trees, an edible tree, so how about a giant tree! Charlie Cush from the Brisbane City Council invites us to find out just how public Christmas trees are put together! So gather round the Christmas tree and join Dr Rob as he once again proves that the ordinary really does become extraordinary; under the SCOPE!
