Maddie's Do You Know?
Television and Carpet
Season 2 Episode 19 of 25
In today's episode, Maddie is relaxing at home, playing games and watching television. She shows us how a television screen works using millions of tiny squares called pixels. Using her special microscope camera, Maddie shows us how a pixel can make any colour from just three coloured lights - red, blue and green. Next she visits a factory where carpet is made. Maddie follows the journey that wool takes, from shearing a sheep to going through the factory, to end up in the carpets we have at home. Maddie uses her special slow-motion camera to show us how the different coloured threads are woven together on a loom to make a carpet.
Maddie's Do You Know? airs on CBeebies HD at 12:40 PM, Friday 4 April. (Subtitles, repeat, audio description.)
