Beakman’s World - Season 4 Episode 23

Beakman toys around with Newton's third law of motion to make his own Beak-mobile toy car. The third law of motion states that for every action there's an equal and opposite reaction. To prove just how speedy the law of action and reaction really is, Beakman builds his own toy car out of a balloon, straw, some masking tape and a little bit of lung power. Turning to Beakmania, Beakman travels the globe to find out how far it is around the earth (2490.55 miles) and cracks open a question about how many mammals lay eggs (two-the platypus and the spiny anteater.) Then, Beakman visits the moon to see if any man-made structure can be seen from the starry skies (no.) Finally, Nurse Phoebe gives some cool relief to Lester's wounds with nature's healer…ice. Finally, Beakman flies in with a few words about birds to discover how parrots talk. Parrots don't acutally talk, they merely repeat what they've heard. Beakman and the quacky science crew find out about different species of gabbing birds and what it takes to make one of these chatting birds happy.
