Episode 3 Epic Quick Blast

Welcome to the world of epic.

The place where you can become a master at everything on the planet.

No matter what it is, this programme shows you how to do it.

So sit back,

strap yourself in and get ready to become epic at everything.

Welcome to your quick blast of epicness.

First up, here's top science queen Fran Scott to show you how to

make a bubble eruption.

To make a bubble eruption you need some hydrogen peroxide,

which you can get from your local chemist.

-Before you start make sure you're wearing safety goggles.

-Goggles on.

-And you've got an adult with you.

-Dad!

Let's add half a bottle of hydrogen peroxide.

Then a good squirt of washing up liquid.

And just so we can see the mess let's add some food colouring.

And then to make the mess, some yeast.

-Whoa!

-Whoa!

Nice one, Fran. That is epic.

But I want to make a proper mess.

And for that I need some hardcore science stuff.

Here we've got just about the same stuff as before.

We've got hydrogen peroxide.

This time it's a lot stronger

and definitely not stuff you should be playing with.

I'm going to add hydrogen peroxide. Then we've got our washing up liquid.

Some food colouring.

I'm going to put a different colour in each one.

-Orange.

-Green in here.

-Oh.

-Cyan!

-And blue in here.

-Close enough.

Then, add the potassium iodide.

It does the same job as yeast, but a lot faster. So get ready for this.

I'm ready.

And stand back.

FRAN LAUGHS

Whoa! Let's see that again. But slower, therefore more dramatic.

So cool.

And that is how you make an epic bubble eruption.

Thanks, Fran. Thought that was epic? Wait till you get a load of this.

We've got scooter master

Lewis Williams to show you a quick trick.

-Today I'm going to teach you how to do a bar spin.

-Oh, I'm in.

-Firstly, you need to be able to jump on the scooter.

-Easy.

So how do we do that?

-Bend your arms and knees and jump up, like this.

-OK, not so easy.

Once you've practised jumping on the scooter, you can

now practise the bar spin.

Get your bars and pass the bars around 360 degrees. Just like this.

-Got it.

-Once you're happy you can put them both together like this.

Cool moves. Nice one, Lewis.

And that is how to be epic at a bar spin.

Spintacular. Bye-bye, Lewis.

That looked like thirsty work. I bet he'd love a big glass of cola.

Hello, I'm Stefan Gates

and I'm going to show you how to make your own home-made, fizzy cola.

-Take it away.

-You need...

A lime, a lemon and an orange.

-Grandad, where are your cinnamon sticks?

-Everything goes in the bowl.

We're going to add water.

At this stage it does look a bit like pond life but trust me

-on this one.

-Next, put your pond water, I mean cola, into a pan.

Then get an adult to help because you are going to be using the oven.

Simmer it for about 20 minutes and then leave it aside to cool

and as it cools all of those wonderful flavours,

the spices and the fruit should melt together into a delicious syrup.

I'm starting to think buying it might be easier.

Once it's cooled and it's nice

and syrupy it's time to strain off all the bits and bobs.

Don't want those in my cola.

Now, that's our syrup.

Take one big old spoonful of it and pour it into a glass full of ice.

-Now, time to get fizzy.

-Awesome. I'm getting thirsty now.

Some fizzy water over the top.

-Looks exactly like cola, doesn't it?

-Nope.

-No, it doesn't.

But we still need to add our colourings. Oh!

Give it a stir around. That is gorgeous.

-And that's how to be epic at making your own cola.

-Thanks, Stefan.

Nice umbrellas.

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

Now, go forth and be epic at everything.
