Fake Blood
How to make fake blood and think of some ideas of other ingredients that might make it even better.
Introduction
Get your head around what is coming up in this experimental series and find out why blood is so important.
Fake Skin
Learn about what makes your skin look the way it does, by making your very own play dough. There is a little cooking involved (3–5 mins) at the start of this, but it can be done in advance if you wish.
Fake Bruises
Why do brusies look the way that they do? All you need to replicate it is an eye shadow palette with red, blue, green and yellow.
Fake Wounds
It's time to combine everything all of our experiments and make some realistic looking fake wounds. Great preparation for halloween too.
Wrap
Find out about blood types, insect "blood", blue blood and maybe even vampires?
Our Carbon Culture
For centuries, humans have relied on fossil fuels to power our world. Coal fuelled the Industrial Revolution but has also had a devastating impact on people and the natural environment. Let’s dig a little deeper into our use of coal.
Warming Oceans
Since the 1970s, our oceans have absorbed 90% of the excess heat produced by CO2 emissions. As our oceans get hotter, and sea levels continue to rise, our world is sure to look very different in the future.
Fossil Fuels: Part Two
For centuries, humans have relied on fossil fuels to power our world. Oil and gas are hydrocarbons that have helped fuel our modern way of living, but burning them has a devastating impact on the natural world.
Heatwaves
Heatwaves caused by periods of extreme hot or dry weather are becoming more frequent across our planet. While some regions are able to cope with their devastating effects, others struggle to survive.
Human Impact
By monitoring changes in C02 levels over thousands of years, scientists know that Earth’s temperature is rising. The biggest cause of global warming? Our reliance on harmful fossil fuels.
Fossil Fuels: Part One
For centuries, humans have relied on fossil fuels to power our world. Coal fuelled the Industrial Revolution but also had a devastating impact on people and the natural environment. Let’s dig a little deeper into our use of coal.
The Carbon Cycle
The Carbon Cycle is the process by which carbon is constantly absorbed, stored and recycled by living and non-living things, thereby maintaining the delicate balance that supports all life on Earth.
Burning the Forests
Trees and forests are known as the lungs of the Earth because they absorb and store carbon. But when they’re burned or cut down, the C02 they release contributes to global warming.
The Greenhouse Effect
Earth’s atmosphere acts like a greenhouse, deflecting the fiercest of the Sun’s rays while retaining heat that would otherwise escape at night. This is known as the greenhouse effect and it’s a process that’s essential to life on Earth.
What Do We Wear in Hot and Cold Weather?
Do you look outside in the morning before you decide what to wear for the day? Why do you choose what you do? Let's take a look at the clothing worn around the world to cope with hot and cold weather.
How Do Living Things Move?
Living things have special features that help them move in particular ways. In this video we take a look at animals and mini beasts that hop, fly, jump, slide and swim. Can you guess which creatures you might see?
Where Can I Find Animals and Plants across Australia?
Do you know about the different land forms, plants and animals across Australia? This video will show you some of its unique plants and animals in both bush and coastal habitats.
Where Does Our Water Come From?
Have you turned on a tap today? Maybe you did so without even wondering about where the water came from? After you watch this video you'll know!
