Episode 12 Epic Quick Blast

Welcome to the world of Epic...

Sit back, strap yourself in

and get ready to become Epic At Everything.

Welcome to your quick blast of epicness.

So what are we waiting for? Let's do this!

First up, do you like rockets?

Want to launch one from the comfort of your own home?

Then you're in luck.

Rockets are epic. I mean, just look at that.

Rockets fly up into the air with such force

that they pass through the atmosphere into outer space.

If that's not epic, I don't know what is.

Hi, I'm Fran, and I'm going to show you how to launch a rocket.

You just need a small pot like these film canisters

that come from old cameras, or these insides of chocolate eggs,

-and some fizzy tablets.

-Mmm, vitamin C.

They're going to be our fuel. And you need some water.

-So let's do this.

-Yes!

-But let's do this safely.

-OK...

So, you need to take your pot, fill it half full with water.

We're going to put these tablets into the water

and it's all going to happen a little bit quick,

and hopefully, enough gas will be produced to launch them up.

So, in the tablets go, lid on.

I'm going to try and pop this on as well. Then we just wait.

Five, four, three, two, one,

lift off! That was amazing!

Let's have a look at it again.

And again!

What happened was, the tablet was reacting with the water,

producing lots of gas,

and enough gas to launch our container up into the ceiling.

So, onto the next. Ever had a minor burn?

They're not pretty - unlike this man.

I'm Dr Chris and this is how to deal with a skin burn.

Burns or scalds are really common injuries

and they can happen in an instant.

Practically everyone will have one at some point in their lives.

But do be careful, cos they can be serious.

Burns happen when your skin comes into contact with something hot.

They can also happen with chemicals, electricity, the sun, even fiction,

-as anyone who's ever skidded across the carpet knows.

-Yeah, that hurts.

If you've got a big or a deep burn,

you need to get an adult and seek medical attention quickly.

I'm going to tell you how to treat a mild burn.

This is when your skin goes red and is very painful. Ah! I've got a burn!

-Actually, it's lipstick. Cherry flavour.

-Seriously, though?

Now, the most important thing when you've got a mild burn

is run it under cold water for at least ten minutes,

but don't have the tap on full blast.

You should cool the burn down within 20 minutes of it getting burnt.

Straight away is best and this will stop the burn getting worse.

It sometimes helps to remove any clothing or jewellery

away from the burn.

Don't put ice or creams or greasy substances like butter on the burn,

it could make it worse.

The most important thing, no matter how serious your burn is,

is to cool it down with cold water then, if you're still worried,

get an adult or a doctor to give you some more help.

That's how to treat a burn.

Thanks, Doctor. So, after that medical epicness,

there's no need to be angry if you get a burn.

However, if you're feeling a bit crabby, meet this man.

He's a heavy-metal marine biologist. Aren't they all?

Hi, I'm Blowfish, I'm going to show you how to handle a crab.

Oh, aren't they lovely?

They have five pairs of legs, including those claws,

which can sometimes get a bit nippy.

So if you want to handle one as good as this man, then listen up.

Firstly, find your crab. Rock pools are a cracking place to look for one.

And here's one I found earlier. So, how to handle a crab.

Start by placing your finger flat on the crab's back.

That's going to stop him from scuttling away.

Next, with your middle finger and thumb,

grab the crab at either sides of his shell just behind the claws.

-But don't touch the claws!

-Then you've got your crab.

He can't nip you,

but keep his legs straight down so he doesn't get too upset.

Then you can have a really good peek at him. You all right, mate?

He's probably been better.

-But of course, remember, always put them back.

-Carefully.

-And that's how you handle a crab.

-Thanks, Blowfish.

So, there you have it, your quick blast of epicness.

Now go forth and be epic... at everything!
