Maddie's Do You Know?

Series 4

Radio Telescope and Maze

First broadcast: on CBeebies HDLatest broadcast: on CBeebies HD

Available for 4 months

Maddie visits an observatory to see how a really big radio telescope uses powerful computers to collect radio waves from space and turn them into a picture you can see. She uses a special time-lapse camera to see how the telescope moves up, down and around as it finds the radio waves.

Next, Maddie heads to a giant maze, where she starts at the entrance and tries to find the middle! She then heads to a craft workshop to see how a wooden maze is made using something called a maze blank. She uses her special slow-motion camera to see the wood shavings flying off as a special device called a CNC machine drills out the maze path onto a block of wood. Show less
