From attempts to break the land-speed record in a go-kart to asking questions such as "What do we do when the oil runs out?", Bang goes where other science shows fear to tread.
Go behind the scenes of a real-life CSI, watch Jem become a crash test dummy, discover how to make fire out of thin air and find out you can really power a car using coffee beans.
Whether the experiments work or not, Bang goes the theory!
