Beakman’s World - Season 4 Episode 16

Prompted by a viewer who wants to know the difference between pigs and hogs, Beakman and his trusty lab assistants explore the wonders of the other white meat. Beakman discovers that there is no difference between the two and uncovers some interesting facts about pigs. He reveals why they are among the smartest animals in the world, why they roll around in mud and what their signature snouts are good for. In Beakmania, the humorous scientist tells us why we blink (to wash your eyes out) and stretches his science knowledge to discover the stretchiest element (gold). Beakman enters the "Scratchy Challenge" and gets all tied up to demonstrate the workings of a lariat. Beakman warms up his musical talents to investigate the workings of a harmonica. To answer this question, Beakman explores the science of sound waves, frequency and vibrations.
