Stripping down science, the Naked Scientists.

Hello and welcome to this week's edition of The Naked Scientists with me, Chris Smith, and also

with Helen's girls. Hi Helen.

Hi Chris.

Now coming up this week how the unusual combination of archery and fishing can actually

go hand in hand. And also just because they're black and white doesn't mean that

pandas can't see in color. That's according to new research we'll be

talking about later. And also a dragonfly that's one meter long.

Stay tuned to find out about that. Helen.

Also this week we're focusing on the science of sight and how eyes work and how they can go wrong.

We'll be talking to consultant ophthalmologist Nick Sarkis from Adam Brooks Hospital here in

Cambridge and Vision researcher Ron Douglas from City University in London.

So if you have any questions for them, do give us a phone, email or text,

keep listening, we'll give you the numbers shortly.

And if you're in an experimental mood this week in kitchen science Derek's going to be looking at the science of how balls bounce and spin

You'll also need a kitchen work surface or some kind of surface with a tiled wall behind it.

You'll also need some cooking oil or some Vaseline.

And if you do the experiment correctly and you're the first

through with the correct observation and explanation, you could win yourself an amazing electronics

kit and I'll be telling you more about that shortly.

And another way to win is to give our go at our teaser. Last week we asked you
