  • September 14, 1996

In season 4 episode 1 of Beakman's World titled "Sweat, Beakmania & Weighing a Car," Beakman and his loyal assistant, Josie, take on the challenge of explaining the wonders of science to their young audience in the wackiest of ways.

Throughout the episode, Beakman engages in his signature physical comedy, performing various stunts and experiments to showcase just how cool science can be. The first experiment is related to sweat and its effects. Beakman covers himself in talcum powder, puts on a sauna suit and goes on a jog to show how the human body cools itself through sweating. He then takes it a step further by donning a sweat suit, which retains body heat, to show how people can dehydrate and even die from overexertion.

The second experiment is a fan favorite, as Beakman channels his inner rockstar and transforms into the host of "Beakmania," a science-themed game show. He and Josie quiz their young contestants on everything from the properties of magnets to the chemicals used in food additives. The skit leaves the audience in stitches, as Beakman adds his goofy humor to each question.

The final segment of the episode involves Beakman and Josie attempting to weigh a car. Beakman explains that the weight of an object can be measured through the displacement of water it causes. The duo places the car on a dock and fills up the surrounding water with barrels until the dock's height changes. They then weigh the barrels to arrive at the weight of the car. The experiment is both educational and entertaining, as Beakman's physical antics and witty comments keep viewers engaged throughout.

Overall, "Sweat, Beakmania & Weighing a Car" is a classic episode of Beakman's World, packed with the show's trademark humor, live-action experiments, and educational messages. Through Beakman's entertaining approach to science, viewers are sure to walk away with an appreciation for the wonders of the world around them.
