That's Incredible

Welcome to That’s Incredible!  A podcast about the unexpectedly awesome things that are all around us.  

Today we’re going to be looking at something that’s a very big part of your life...technology!

Take a look around you at all the little gadgets and tools you use every day.  Everything from a smartwatch to an iPhone to your TV remote was invented by someone clever.  So today we're going to learn some awesome stuff about technology and find out what everyday life will be like 50 years from now!

So let's go!

ACTION ITEM

There’s an American guy who draws really elaborate inventions called, Rube Goldberg.  

His device for washing a window involved leaving a banana skin on the floor so a man would trip on it, causing him to fall on a rake which tossed a horseshoe in the air which landed on a rope that tilted a watering can that wet a mop and woke up a dog who knocked over a sign that fell against the mop and made it wipe a window. 

You can find his cool inventions here...https://www.rubegoldberg.com/rube-the-artist/gallery/

Do you reckon you could design something similar?  It doesn’t have to be that complicated, maybe it’s just tying a hairbrush to your dog’s tail to make an automatic hair brushing machine when your dog wags its tail?

Use your imagination because that’s exactly what you need to be a good inventor!

Draw us a picture of your invention and send it into podcast@mamamia.com.au.  We’d love to see how your inventive mind works!

Welcome to That’s Incredible!  A podcast about the unexpectedly awesome things that are all around us.  Things you might never have noticed before!

Have you ever gone a whole day without hearing any music? I bet you haven’t!  Music is everywhere. On the radio, outside when birds are singing, in movies, computer games, even that awful sound that comes from the bathroom when dad’s having a shower! 

In this episode, we're going to learn some awesome facts about music and we'll hear from Lucy Durack about what it was like to sing in front of The Queen!

ACTION ITEM

Make some music!

Find anything around the house that makes a noise and play your own tune on it.  Maybe you can make a twang on some rubber bands or fill a bottle with some water and blow across the top of it to make a wind instrument. 

Or you can just hit some pots and pans with a spoon!

Make a recording or a video of it and send it to us at podcast@mamamia.com.au.

Welcome to That’s Incredible!  An interactive podcast about the unexpectedly awesome things in the world around us.

In this episode, we're going to teach you some incredible things about the body you walk around in every day.

Plus, we're going to meet Paralympian Ben Tudhope who's going to tell us about the amazing things his body can do. 

Are you ready? Let's go!

ACTION ITEM

We want you to put your tongue to the test, by sending us a video of you doing your favourite tongue twister.

What’s a tongue twister? It’s a sentence full of words that are really hard to say one after the other. e.g.

• If a dog chews shoes, whose shoes does he choose?
• How can a clam cram in a clean cream can
• You know New York, you need New York, you know you need unique New York
• Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear. Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair. Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn’t fuzzy, was he?

You can find more here...https://www.engvid.com/english-resource/50-tongue-twisters-improve-pronunciation/

Film yourself doing your favourite one and email it to podcast@mamamia.com.au.
