Maddie's Do You Know?: Series 4: Road Sweeper and Paper Straw

Road Sweeper and Paper Straw

Maddie's Do You Know? - CBeebies - BBC

Maddie learns how road sweepers clean our streets and how paper straws are made.

Maddie finds out about machines that use suction! She visits a depot to learn about how a road sweeper works, before heading off to a factory to discover how paper straws are made.

Maddie is finding out about machines that use suction!  She heads to a road sweeper depot to learn how all the parts of a road sweeper work together. Maddie attaches her special cameras onto the road sweeper so she can see it in action, before getting in for a ride. Maddie then watches the hopper as it is emptied into a skip – it’s really messy!

Next, Maddie is at a paper straw factory, where she sees how paper straws are made out of strips of paper called ribbons. She uses her slow-motion camera to see how three layers of ribbon wrap onto a long pole called a mandrel to make a paper straw. They are chopped to the right size and packaged, ready to be used.
