The Lab Rats drop pianos while the teams discover the incredible power of salt.

Science game show. The Lab Rats drop two pianos from a height of 30 metres onto two different landing areas. Meanwhile, the teams discover the incredible power of salt.

Labchaikovsky is an extremely clumsy piano maestro. In fact, he's so clumsy he's actually managed to break more than 1000 pianos in his career. So, how can the Lab Rats protect Labchaikovsky's prized musical instruments? To find out they undertake an experiment in true Blast Lab style - two pianos are dropped from a height of 30 metres onto two different landing areas - a trampoline and a bouncy castle. But which will be the best protection for the pianos? 

Meanwhile, BLS take on the Glamour Girls in Ninja Nan's Denture Adventure. This challenge takes place on one of the famous Blast Lab obstacle courses. This time, however, it's known as an 'a-salt' course aimed at revealing the incredible power of salt. At the end of the course are two large cylinders filled with water; sitting at the bottom of each are Ninja Nan's dentures. The teams have to use salt to get the dentures to rise - the quickest team to retrieve the teeth wins.
