Episode 9

Synopsis

Science game show. Two teams of contestants compete to win a wheelbarrowload of prizes. They need to use their powers of reason and logic as they answer questions, perform scientific experiments, predict the outcome of jaw-dropping stunts and battle to win prizes in a furiously messy final game. While the winners go away laden with goodies, the losers must blow theirs up.

Richard examines the effect that moving air particles can have on objects. In the Lab, the two teams play Ping Pong Pass where they have to pass ping pong balls from one team member to the next using the flow of air created by hairdryers. Meanwhile, out on the secret test facility, the Lab Rats are trying to make a go-kart fly by attaching a paraglider to it.
