Scope: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

SCOPE THIS OUT: Science is everywhere!

Scope is a fast, funny and informative children's science show, aimed at kids ages 8-14, and produced in association with the CSIRO. 

Each week, Scope turns the ordinary... into the extraordinary, by exploring the science behind such diverse topics as Extreme Sports, Human Body, Animal Intelligence, and Future Transport. 

The show is hosted by science guru Dr Rob Bell and stories are presented by a range of experts – from acclaimed university researchers to factory engineers, passionate zookeepers and elite sportspeople – giving the audience a personalised view of the scientific world. 

Each episode is crammed full of new and interesting scientific facts and cool experiments that our audience can try out at home. 

On air since 2005, with over 240 episodes produced so far, Scope was created to demystify the world of science and technology, and make it relevant, accessible and above all fascinating to a young audience.
