Turning trash into (scientific) treasure...
Let's Explore... PRESSURE
This Show is NOT Rubbish! is a fabulously inventive web series that playfully examines all those things that humans tend to absently throw away — using trash, rubbish and litter to create moment after moment of spectacle and surprise.
MEET THE TRASH CAN MAN

Rocket science is just a cup of tea away...

​
EPISODE 12: Wing on a String​
​
WARNING! This episode contains singing (and very bad guitar playing!). It also uses trash to begin an exploration of the science of flight...
EPISODE 13: How A-peeling! ​
​
We've thrown EVERYTHING into this episode...
