Bang Goes the Theory are going on a road trip...!!

I don't think anyone who has perused the listings of television on a Monday night has missed seeing a small portion of Bang Goes the Theory. It's tag line is that it's 'Putting Science to the test' testing out new and old scientific theories with a group of 3 'in studio' scientists - Liz, Dallas and Jem - and one Dr Yan who is seen once an episode 'out in the field' testing out some theories, usually the more complicated and 'geeky' to fit his profile. He's actually my favourite of the 4 of them!

  The show is generally good, with fun parts of science being explained along side serious more complicated theories. Dr. Yan especially is good at explaining more complicated theories in a fun way, as shown by the following video where he explains how human balance works... By making people fall over!



There are loads more videos here to watch, actually over 100, all on different subjects. Most likely 75% will make you laugh, think or be amazed. Actually after watching some of them it started me looking at everything around me differently... like velcro and even creepy crawlies!! But I suppose everyone has their own interests and facinations, just do take a look.. I promise it's worth it! :)
There are also links on the BBC Bang website to all sorts of other things, like The Open University and links to view the last programme and other suplementary links... loads of stuff to get your brain thinking!!

Also if they've wet your appetite for sciencey knowledge then Bang is actually going on a road trip!
On the road trip you can..
  • Meet the Bang presenters
  • Watch our spectacular stage show
  • Be part of Dr Yan's street science
  • Have a go in the interactive area
  • Ask our panel of experts your favourite science question 
Below I have made a map of the locations and dates for each event so far confirmed. There will be more locations and updates added so keep checking back!
