It’s playtime here at Whizz Pop Bang! Since we haven’t been able to go out much recently, we’ve been creating miniature play parks for our toys instead. Zoom your toys down a zippy zipwire, swoosh them in a miniature swing and balance them on a pivoting seesaw, all in the name of science, of course! Then, get active with a plastic bag skipping rope, read an interview with a man who designs rollercoasters and cut out and make an awesome zoetrope that turns images into mini movie clips.
PLUS, get swinging with gibbons in Animal Antics, find out how one of the oldest fairground rides, the carousel, works, discover ten awesomely amazing things to play on and meet Amelia Earhart, the pioneering pilot who was the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean.
