Science Fact

Neutron stars are so dense that a teaspoonful would weigh more than all the people on Earth (including your PE teacher).

Weird Science

A pimple of zit is a skin hole plugged with a substance called sebum. You have millions of tiny hairs all over your body, most you can hardly even see. The cells at the bottom of these hairs produce a oily, waxy substance called sebum. Normally the sebum slowly seeps out of the skin but if too much sebum is produced too fast, it clogs up the pores and collects under the skin. These collections of sebum are called pimples. Bacteria love to feed on this stuff too so sometimes they turn red and swollen when the bacteria go to town on them.

Graffiti !!!

We hear it time and time again. Reeko, you talk to much. Why can't we talk back? Well now you can. Reeko's Message Board let you ask science and experiments questions, post interesting science news, slap up some graffiti, or just yak with your buddies.

Track Reeko!

Using new RFID technology, you can now track Reeko as he moves about the lab! The "blip" is Reeko and will move from room to room as Reeko moves about the lab (he moves from room to room every couple of minutes or so). Hover over the map below for details on each of the rooms in the lab..

Did U Know?

At over 2000 kilometres long The Great Barrier Reef is the largest living structure on Earth (heh, and you thought your teacher was the largest living structure).

Lab Reports

Lab Monkey Report We are cranking out experiments for the little scientists as fast as we can and have rolled out several new (advanced) experiments during the past two weeks. Still, Reeko will not increase of banana quota to more than 12 bananas per day which we feel is highly unfair. The rats are fed several times a day and being the superior species, we feel we deserve as many bananas as we want. Reeko says the potassium in the bananas causes a chemical overload in our brains which results in us repeating ourselves over and over again. We of course, know that is not true. We of course, know that is not true.

Lab Rat Report There have been some strange noises coming out of Top Secret Section F. As usual, the monkeys won’t tell us what is going on but we heard them talking about some sort of "row bat" that Reeko is working on. We listened at the doorway and hear clanking noises coming from inside and see very bright lights flashing from under the door. Sometimes we hear Reeko talking to himself. Stay tuned – something big is coming!

Lab Cat Report Zzzzzzz.....

Science Fact - Diplodocus

The name of this dinosaur is Diplodocus. It is a plant eater and is part of the brontosaurus family. Diplodocus means "double beam". It belongs to a group of dinosaurs called sauropods. It grew about 30 feet tall (that's as tall as a 3-story building). Diplodocus had to watch out for allesaurus' because Diplodocus might get eaten.

Diplodocus as well as many of the other dinosaurs probably spent a good part of their time in the water, where they fed upon water plants and escaped their natural enemies, the carnivorous dinosaurs (meat eating meanies) living at the same time. There are a number of anatomical features that suggest their watery habit. The external nostrils on his nose are situated high on the head, which would enable the animal partly to submerge the head under water and still breathe.
