Lab, Camera, Action: Tides	The Bay of St Brieuc in Brittany has one of the largest tides on Earth. Dr Andrew Steele takes some time out of his holiday, on the day of the highest tide of the year, to find out why.	Andrew Steele	3 February, 2014
Lab, Camera, Action: Transit of Venus	In June of 2012, one of the rarest predictable astronomical phenomena took place: Venus passed directly in front of the Sun, as seen from Earth. For more information, visit transitofvenus.org.	Andrew Steele	3 February, 2014
Lab, Camera, Action: Maglev Train	Wheels are so last century. We’ve got a train set which doesn’t have any; it just floats around the track in a billowing cloud of steam. Dr Andrew Steele explains how our superconducting magnetic levitation—or maglev—train really works.	Andrew Steele	3 February, 2014
Lab, Camera, Action: Particle Accelerator	Dr Andrew Steele takes a look inside the ISIS particle accelerator in Oxfordshire, where scientists use neutrons to investigate the structure of materials, and accelerator physicist Dr Suzie Sheehy explains how this massive machine works.	Andrew Steele, Suzie Sheehy	3 February, 2014
Lab, Camera, Action: Make your own CD spectrometer	How do we know what the stars are made of when we've never been to one? Dr Andrew Steele shows us how to make a spectrometer, a device used by scientists to analyse light, using a cereal box and a CD.	Andrew Steele	3 February, 2014
The Accelerate! Show	Get up close and personal with the exciting world of particle and accelerator physics. Learn how particle accelerators can do everything from recreating conditions just after the Big Bang to finding new ways to treat cancer.	Andrew Steele, Suzie Sheehy	3 February, 2012
