When a scientist comes home at the end of the day they might have discovered something no-one else has ever known before. How amazing is that!

Take a look around you at all the little gadgets and tools you use every day.  Everything from a smartwatch to an iPhone to your TV remote was invented by someone clever.  So today we're going to learn some awesome stuff about technology and find out what everyday life will be like 50 years from now! So let's go! ACTION ITEM There’s an American guy who draws really elaborate inventions called, Rube Goldberg.   His device for washing a window involved leaving a banana skin on the floor so a man would trip on it, causing him to fall on a rake which tossed a horseshoe in the air which landed on a rope that tilted a watering can that wet a mop and woke up a dog who knocked over a sign that fell against the mop and made it wipe a window.  You can find his cool inventions here...https://www.rubegoldberg.com/rube-the-artist/gallery/ Do you reckon you could design something similar?  It doesn’t have to be that complicated, maybe it’s just tying a hairbrush to your dog’s tail to make an automatic hair brushing machine when your dog wags its tail? Use your imagination because that’s exactly what you need to be a good inventor! Draw us a picture of your invention and send it into podcast@mamamia.com.au.  We’d love to see how your inventive mind works!

Welcome to That’s Incredible!  A podcast about the unexpectedly awesome things that are all around us.  Things you might never have noticed before! Have you ever gone a whole day without hearing any music? I bet you haven’t!  Music is everywhere. On the radio, outside when birds are singing, in movies, computer games, even that awful sound that comes from the bathroom when dad’s having a shower!  In this episode, we're going to learn some awesome facts about music and we'll hear from Lucy Durack about what it was like to sing in front of The Queen! ACTION ITEM Make some music! Find anything around the house that makes a noise and play your own tune on it.  Maybe you can make a twang on some rubber bands or fill a bottle with some water and blow across the top of it to make a wind instrument.  Or you can just hit some pots and pans with a spoon! Make a recording or a video of it and send it to us at podcast@mamamia.com.au.
