Lexx Education

Fire up your Bunsen burners and join award-winning comedian Laura Lexx as she attempts to pass her Science GCSEs (all over again) with the help of nerdy younger brother, Ron. Every week the squabbling siblings dissect a topic from the baddest educational document on the planet - the UK’s National Curriculum. Microbiology, magnetism, manganese…can long-suffering Ron explain atomic structures or will Laura be forever banging her head against the periodic table? Whether you love thermodynamics -

Hello and welcome to another episode of Lexx Education! The comedy science podcast where comedian Laura Lexx tries to learn science from her nerdy younger brother Ron.This week, it’s biology which are usually our happy balmy waters, but this week we have to look at the very serious subject of coronary heart disease, via coronation chicken, raisins and Danny Champion of the World. While we don’t go out of our way to be insensitive, it is a lighthearted podcast and we are our usual selves so bear in

Hello and welcome to another episode of Lexx Education! The comedy science podcast where comedian Laura Lexx tries to learn science from her nerdy younger brother Ron.You probably heard the deep sad sighs at the time of recording but it's back to physics this week, and the siblings are fuming to realise they are still on electricity. But, Ron has a trick up his sleeve this week in the form of an interactive website! Can Laura take it seriously enough to learn or will the batteries just burn for

Welcome to another episode of Lexx Education! Episode 17 and a return to chemistry! This week the science siblings get stuck in to atomic bonds and intermolecular forces. They take another look over types of bonds, not for the first or last (we expect) time this series.Ron walks Laura through the changes in state occurring at melting, freezing and condensing points on the journey of matter as energy is applied to it. What can we say, Laura does her best, and is only really stumped when they reach

The science siblings are bouncing back out of the dry dry lands of electricity and into biology. They seem happy here. They’re looking at the body, starting with the structure of the heart. Somehow Laura manages to make the Tower of Terror queue an analogy for the heart. It’s not a winner.Ron takes Laura on a journey with blood through the heart and all its vestibules, out into the lungs for a minute and back into the heart. Laura is mainly picturing queues at Disneyland so it’s anyones guess how

Hello and welcome back to the 14th episode of Lexx Education. The comedy podcast where Laura Lexx tries to learn GCSE science from her nerdy younger brother Ron.This week we are back on the chemistry trail and, it's not just siblings who have bonds: it's atoms too! We look at all types of chemical bonding: ionic, covalent and metallic bonds. There's some time spent on crystal lattice structures, and how things react in solution. There's also a lot of Laura reacting in fury.Ron accidentally tries out

Laura is back from holiday and the science siblings are back giddy to be reunited via the medium of the internet. Fresh from not arguing over physics for once, they bound into biology with fresh enthusiasm only to be met with squabbles straight out of the gate. What a nightmare!This week they are looking at diffusion (again), osmosis (Jones), Active transport, catalysts, enzymes and emulsions (not gloss or satin). There's also, for the first time in Lexx Education history a live Lexxperiment in an

Oh my goodness... can you believe it? A physics episode with next to no screaming at each other? It has to be heard to be believed! This week the science siblings leave tiny, obscure nonsense alone for a hot minute and take a peek at energy sources... Ron walks Laura through all the current available energy sources and they discuss the pros and cons of each one.Ron is... hot during this episode. There's really no avoiding how hot Ron is. Some would say too hot, but not Ron: he really refuses to

This week the science siblings are in their comfort zone of biology, but don’t let that fool you into thinking that they can’t fall out about it. Ron tries to teach Laura using her favourite thing on planet earth: tea. However, it just causes Laura to be annoyed that the learning never actually turns into tea.Diffusion is the big topic of the day; looking at chaos theory, entropy and then how bodies make use of concentration gradients to get functions done. Things like breathing, and making piss

This week Laura Lexx is back in the Physics Lab and oh boy is she furious about it! As her brother Ron attempts once again to get over his own disinterest in science and get her to concentrate, they have a look at energy transfers and how to calculate how much energy is used in heating and cooling objects.Laura gets promised tea that never comes, but helpfully she does now know how much energy her kettle is using to make this hypothetical tea that never comes.

In their third trip around the science sun, the science siblings pass by Chemistry again to see what's new. There's time for a quick brushing up on atomic structure to see what Laura has retained from last chemistry, and then it's on to new ground.In order to look at the periodic table Ron needs to describe the difference between a row and a column, and then it all gets a bit dreamy as they look at how Mendeleev thought up the Periodic Table. Ron is his very patient best as he tries to work through

After the burning trash pile that was last week’s attempts to delve further into physics, the science siblings are thrilled to be back in the warm comforting arms of biology. Mmmmmm cosy.Biology 3 picks up from where they left off last time with cell specialisation but this time Ron is teaching Laura about the all powerful totipotent cells: Stem Cells. Much to both Laura and Ron’s relief, Laura has heard of these.They chat uses for stem cells, where cem stella can be found in the body, Laura comes

It's that time again: Physics. Not the science siblings favourite but maybe their second time round to it will improve their relationship with the forces of nature?No.If this podcast had ever had wheels we might say that this was where they came off. Ron tries to persuade Laura that every action has an equal and opposite reaction and Laura asks if tables are made of jelly and why the floor wants a ball to be in the sky. They get distracted on what exactly a person should picture when picturing a

Even if she could remember, the fact they both have nucleus’ apparently renders them both stupid and pointless anyway.There’s also going to be maths. Gross, horrible,

Maybe one day it will sink in? It's not today though.Via a quick description of how electron microscopes work, the siblings get on a mission to understand what makes cells different to one another. They look at the different organelles that can give

Welcome back science fans! Physics Lesson 1 is about to begin... having beaten biology and conquered chemistry, Laura is back to form a physics philosophy (it was the best we could think of for that, shut up).Physics doesn't so much get off with a bang, more of a teensy weensy whimper of pain as Laura realises she hates physics and Ron is forced to admit he's not that keen on it either.The siblings start to learn about standard units of measurement, and how to calculate energy transfers.
