Watch as Mark and the crew explore the jungles of Borneo in order to find the biggest ant in the world: the Giant Forest Ant! With those massive mandibles and the ability to spray acid, where will it rank on the Brave Wilderness...

Watch as Mark takes on the first recorded sting from the extremely rare Mammoth Wasp! Where will it land on the Brave Wilderness Bite-Sting Index? How will the sting compare to the likes of the Bullet Ant, Fire Worm, and Cow Killer?...

Sing with Leo the Truck - the Fire Truck song for kids! Leo and friends assemble the fire truck. Take a look now. Fire is burning fierce but the fire truck is already here. Take a look, now see what it can do. The fire truck stops the...

What comes to mind when you hear the word "professionalism"? It's what separates you from the pack and catches the eye of management. We've been asking all of our interviewees to define the word and whether we're asking a scientist or a...

Nolik wants to join his Simka and go to the laboratory of Professor Eugenius to complete an important task she will be doing with Fire and Digit. Simka doesn’t want him to go because she thinks he is too impatient to handle the work....

Ion Engines are the future. How far away are we from them becoming the norm?

View from space of the Australian bushfires, from the December 30th 2019 to January 2nd 2020. Based on data from JAXA / JMA / Himawari.

Yes, fire can burn without oxygen. While oxygen is an important oxidizing agent for combustion, it is not the only one. There are alternative oxidizers such as chlorine, fluorine, and bromine that can also support burning. Furthermore,...

Water is formed as a result of the combustion of hydrogen. In simple words, water is what you get when you burn hydrogen. So, water doesn’t burn because, in a way, it has already burned. You get ashes when you burn paper; but when you’re...

For decades, conventional wisdom has told us that fuels reduction is key to protecting communities. However, the latest research shows that weather actually plays a big role as well. In fact, the vast majority of structures are destroyed...

A small to medium sized star late in its life, when it has used up its hydrogen in nuclear fusion and starts burning heavier elements.

Combustion reactions are vital: from keeping us warm and cooking our food, to providing electricity and propelling rockets into outer space. What do we know about these chemical reactions? Chemistry - Reactions - Learning Points....

Some reactions take in energy and some release energy. Why? And what are some common examples of each type of reaction? Chemistry - Reactions - Learning Points. An energy change occurs when reactions take place. Exothermic reactions...

Offshore oil spills can lead to decades of ecological harm for marine life. How can we clean-up oil spills and limit damage to the environment? Earth Science - Human Impacts - Learning Points. Offshore oil spills float on the surface of...

We investigate the amount of energy stored in maize snacks and peanuts by burning them. The food is placed under an aluminium beaker of water before being set alight and the temperature change of the water is recorded. We can compare the...

We investigate the effectiveness of different methods to clear oil spills from water. First, we try to burn the oil in a sample of water using a gas lighter but there is no effect. Next, we break the oil up using detergent but this does...

We look at how the mass of wire wool changes when it is burned. Wire wool is almost 99% iron. When we burn it, it combines chemically with oxygen from the air to form iron(III) oxide. The mass of the product is more than the mass of the...

Fossil fuels are a finite energy source. How long will they last, and why is it so difficult and costly to extract these fuels from beneath the earth and oceans? Earth Science - Earth's Resources - Learning Points. Fossil fuels are...

Or burning, a chemical reaction that requires an initial source of heat, a fuel, and an oxidising agent such as oxygen, and releases energy as heat, and often light. A Twig Science Glossary Film. Key scientific terms defined in just 60...
