Think science is boring? Don't let the show's host, Dallas Campbell, and panel of experts -- engineer Jem Stansfield, evolutionary biologist Dr. Yan Wong and biochemist Liz Bonnin -- hear you say that. The quartet takes a hands-on approach to science, performing experiments to test scientific theories. But these are bigger than the usual science experiments you performed in school. Among the crew's experiments are trying to blow up a brick house with a vortex cannon and attempting to break the land-speed record using a fire extinguisher and a go-kart.
