Xploration DIY Sci
The "don't try this at home" warning seen on some TV shows doesn't apply to this series, which encourages the discovery of scientific concepts through experiments that viewers can reproduce in their own homes. Science teacher Steve Spangler hosts the show, providing step-by-step demonstrations of the DIY experiments that help explain scientific principles. Among the experiments presented is one that gained Spangler fame, in which he showed what happens when a mint candy is dropped into a bottle of diet soda. On the show, he explains the "why" and "how" behind the experiment and what cause the soda to react with the candy.
Drain the Oceans
Maritime mysteries -- old and new -- come to life in this series, combining scientific data and digital re-creations to reveal shipwrecks, treasures, and sunken cities on the bottom of lakes, seas and oceans around the world. Innovative technology allows viewers to see what lies on the floors of large bodies of water such as the Gulf of Mexico, the Nile, the Indian Ocean, the Baltic Sea and the Atlantic Ocean as if they had been drained. Then, in a quest to explain natural wonders and man-made catastrophes, stories tell of how vessels sank, what ancient geological formations reveal about life on Earth, where Nazi secrets now reside, and why so many continue to search for the legendary city of Atlantis.
