Science series. The Lab Rats test air pressure and the molecular properties of food by dropping two bags, suspended from a crane, onto some paving slabs 30 metres below.
How do you test air pressure and the molecular properties of food? If you are a Lab Rat you do this in a very strange way. Two superheroes - well a Lab Rat dressed as a giant corn on the cob and another Lab Rat wearing a leotard and carrying jelly - battle it out in a (literally) ground-breaking experiment. Two bags, suspended from a crane, will be dropped onto some paving slabs 30 metres below. One bag contains a cornstarch solution, while the other is full of jelly. But which bag will damage the paving stones the most?
