Bright Sparks - Energy & Feeding The World [VHS]

"HI THERE! It's Amy & Alex again - with our very clever robot friend Sparky. He knowns everything...so why not stick around & let's learn together! List of content and time codes. Intro: 0:00, Energy: 1:32, Everything we do uses energy - & people find it in then strangest places! Drilling for oil under the waves, digging coal underground - those are the 2 ways of getting it. but Sparky can show us other ways too: solar energy from the sun, power from the water & wind... even nuclear energy. Come to Brazil & you'll see cars that run on alcohol - & don't leave any nasty, dirty fumes behind them! Feeding The World: 24:54, We humans get our energy from food, of course - but Sparky knowns a whole lot more about what we eat. Did you know the potato is 10,000 years old? How about the jojoba bean plant - so tough it can grow in the desert? & what on earth's a Strapple? It's a strawberry apple - just 1 of the fruits of the future scientists are making today. Come fly with Sparky to find all this & more! When you've come back down to earth, we know you'll want to meet us again on 2 more double-pack Bright Sparks tapes - Trains, Planes, Boats & Cars Water Water Everywhere & My House & Animals. Until then..... On your marks - it's Bright Sparks!" This Video Was Written By Mark Lamprell & Karl Kruszelnicki 1988
