Maddie's Do You Know?

Series 3

Spider Web and Watering Can

First broadcast: on CBeebies HDLatest broadcast: on CBeebies HD

In this episode, Maddie is in the garden. She finds out how spiders make webs using silk, meets a spider expert and learns that different spiders make different types of webs. Using her slow-motion camera, Maddie shows how a garden spider makes an orb web. We learn that the structure is built in a special way so that it is strong and sticky but light.

Next Maddie heads to a factory where watering cans are made. We learn how a watering can starts out as a lot of flat metal shapes. Maddie shows us how they are bent and moulded into all the different parts. She uses her special slow-motion camera to show how electromagnetic paint is sprayed and how it sticks to the metal watering can, making it smooth and shiny. Show less
