The Secret Science of (Everyday) Life follows a typical day, beginning at breakfast and the morning routine followed by daytime activities with the family including going to zoo and playing sports before finishing off with typical evening pursuits such as having a take-away and enjoying a film. Binding it all together is physics and what theories or experimental techniques can reveal regarding these everyday situations.
