Indiana Expeditions - Physical Science
Bring out the amazing Diet Coke suit! What can the soft drink show us about our physical world? You have to see this to believe it! Viewers will watch the real process of creating steel – a solid, then a liquid, then a solid again. And what happens when a hospital lets Rick in to investigate its Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) machine? Density, Magnetism and Science Methods all designed for viewers to "try it yourself!"
