Hello and welcome to Lexx Education, the comedy science podcast where Somerset science siblings Laura and Ron embark on the GCSE science curriculum together with Ron in the teaching seat and Laura hastily trying to learn...

This week Laura and Ron start off with a weird energy, then there's a weird energy in the middle and a weird energy at the end. It was after all a Friday afternoon recording.

Was last week a revision episode? We'll never know. There's some festival chat, some cheese poo talk, lots of poo talk actually.

Then we get to the science, the boring bit, and we cover early human metal production and their reactions with Carbon. Big confusion over why amino acids are seesaws. Are amino acids seesaws?

Acids, alkalis and bases. A lot of H+ and salts and metal extraction and stuff. All the big headlines. Enjoy!
