An amazing "magic trick" leads the team to explore the science behind magnets and static electricity. We use Ferrofluid to see evidence of a magnetic field.
The team explores energy and its ability to make things happen! We investigate different forms of energy and figure out how to convert motion energy to electrical energy to power Bert.
A mystifying illusion causes the team to learn about the science behind light reflection and vision. We show how light travels in a straight line and can reflect off things using lasers.
Zoe and Izzy are stunned when a piece of paper seems to vanish after being set on fire. To help solve this mystery the team learns all about the conservation of matter!
Izzy creates a massive chemical reaction, which prompts the team to explore the difference between chemical and physical changes. We watch a gummy bear burn before our eyes during a chemical change.
Izzy and Zoe's soccer game gets interrupted by a deflated ball filled with cold air. To understand this phenomenon the team learns about the particle nature of matter!
The team explores the history and science behind information transfer. We take a look at a Morse code machine and learn how it uses patterns to send messages.
The team is fascinated by a gigantic pendulum and delves into the science of patterns of motion and friction! We learn that motion can happen in patterns that help us predict things.
Izzy and Zoe's ATV coughs up a cloud of soot. To better understand why, the team dives into renewable energy. First we review non-renewable energy like coal, oil and natural gas.
A freezing cold day in the middle of June ruins a trip to the beach but makes for a great reason to investigate the difference between weather and climate!
A severe storm has the team ready to head inside and learn all about extreme weather. We discover different types of extreme weather and find ways that we can reduce its impact.
The team investigates what kind of effect Zoe's working out has on her body systems. We discuss 5 core body systems and break out an exercise bike with an oximeter.
An earthquake shakes the lab causing the team to learn all about natural disasters. We test out what building materials protect us in a volcanic eruption with the help of some molten metal!
Zoe mixes up her own energy drink, but it doesn't turn out like she hoped it would! To learn how our bodies naturally get energy the team uses science!
In this special episode the team digs for fossils in Sharktooth Hill, California. We find a tooth from a Megalodon shark and help dig up a 15 million year old whale skull.
BERT is surprised to see a huge water monitor lizard in the lab! With the help of Bob the lizard we learn about internal and external structures of living things, starting with Bob as an example.
The team observes ants working together to build tunnels. Don't most animals compete for food? To better understand this we explore the science of animal group behaviour!
Izzy and Zoe spot a humming bird feeding by the bird feeder! Why does it have such a unique looking beak? With the help of Dr. Jeff, the team dives into the science!
Dr. Jeff brings puppies into the lab! The puppies are really cute, but Izzy and Zoe observe that they don't all look alike. In fact, none of them look exactly like their mom or dad!
Izzy and Zoe find a video of a frog eating a big bug a bit shocking. Dr. Jeff explains that many animals needs to eat other animals in order to surivie. It's all part of the food web!
