The Discovery Channel "The Big Experiment" Study Guide 6

The Big Experiment

Articles

Sky Learning has secured some exclusive features from across our channels to inspire learning around our wide selection of subjects.

This month we’ve joined forces with Graham Warren, Science teacher at Woodchurch High School Specialist Engineering College and author of Woodchurch Science to create a GCSE Science study aid to accompany the Discovery Channel’s, “ The Big Experiment”. The six part series is about the explosive, mind blowing power of Science and how it can change lives. “The Big Experiment” series will air on Discovery Channel, Sky Channel 520 on Thursday 3rd April at 9pm (repeated on Sundays at 6pm).

This week’s guide accompanies the sixth and final programme in the series, “Body of Evidence”. This programme introduces the students to the wonder of the Human Body. From hunting for the body’s hidden enemy, bacteria, in both the boys’ toilets and their own noses, to investigating the strength of skin with the help of extreme performance artists and following the digestive process as it happens, the week builds up to the most grisly Big Experiment yet – a full horse dissection.
