What's on When
Rough Science Series I
The first series of Rough Science will be repeated at 00.30am on Thursday night/Friday morning (Open Science) on BBC 2 on July 5.
Programme Synopses for Series II
Mapping
it out (00.30am
on Thursday night/Friday morning on BBC 2 on July 12)
Kate
Humble and the team of five scientists take up the challenge of charting
the sights and sounds of their tropical island. Starting from scratch,
they have just three days to make an accurate scale map, botanical paper
and inks, and a sound recording device. While a very good head for maths
and plenty of versatile local plants get them started, impassable mangrove
swamps and tropical downpours soon seem intent on scuppering their plans.
Bugs and Barometers
(00.30am
on Thursday night/Friday morning on BBC 2 on July 19)
Kate Humble and the team have to pit their wits against nature - and
bugs - in the latest challenge of the hands-on science series. Can they
get a biology lab, microscope and weather station built and tested on
their tropical island in just three days? With only a basic kit of tools
to work with, the island’s plants and seaweed have to be roped in - and
with nothing but clear skies, the weather predictions could be a problem.
Time and Transmitters
(00.30am
on Thursday night/Friday morning on BBC 2 on July 26)
Kate Humble
and the hands-on science team find they have to borrow some wartime tricks
when challenged with building a transmitter and radio in just three days
- but will they be able to communicate across their tropical island base?
There's also a portable accurate clock and a botanical kite to design,
and, once again, the natural plants and resources the scientists find
on the island get their thoughts running in strange new directions.
Feel the Heat
(00.30am
on Thursday night/Friday morning on BBC 2 on August 2)
The challenges don't come much tougher than this as Kate Humble and the
team of scientists tackle bringing down the temperature on their sweltering
tropical island base. The chemistry of cooling ironically seems to involve
a lot of heating things up first. With just three days to complete the
task, as well as producing working thermometers and sunscreen, patience
is soon simmering.
Sun and Sea (00.30am
on Thursday night/Friday morning on BBC 2 on August 9)
The challenge of building an underwater light to examine the marine
life around their tropical island base finds Kate Humble and the team
of scientists grappling with natural power sources. With just three days
to complete the task, the scientists find the energy of the sea and sun
needs a little help from human elbow grease to generate electricity to
charge up a battery.
The Science of
Celebration (00.30am
on Thursday night/Friday morning on BBC 2 on August 16)
The science of sound and rockets helps Kate Humble and the team devise
ways of going out with a bang in the last set of challenges on their Caribbean
tropical island base. But with just three days to create a concert and
spectacle to light up the Caribbean night sky, the scientists find they
are struggling to find harmony, while their fireworks are more heat than
light. Can they turn it around?
