Maddie's Do You Know? - CBeebies - BBC

Maddie learns how playground swings and slides work, then visits a plant pot factory.

At a playground, Maddie learns how swings and slides work, then she visits a plant pot factory to see how pots are made by mixing clay and shale.

In today's episode, Maddie is having fun outdoors. First, she's in a playground learning how we keep swinging on a swing and how gravity helps us slide down a slide. She uses a special camera to show us how friction stops us from going too fast. Next, Maddie goes to a factory where plant pots are made. She finds out how clay and shale from a quarry are mixed, shaped and baked into plant pots, then uses a special thermal camera to show us how hot the plant pots get when they travel through a kiln!
