Maddie's Do You Know?
Airport Baggage and Rucksack
S4 • E18 Jun 3, 2020
Today, Maddie is learning all about baggage! She visits an airport to see how baggage goes from the check-in desk and onto an aeroplane using something called a destination tag, which makes sure each piece of baggage ends up on the right plane. She attaches her special cameras onto the suitcase as it goes along the baggage carousel – it goes up, down and around until it reaches a room called the baggage room. Next, Maddie visits a rucksack factory to see how a rucksack is made. We find out how all the pieces are cut out and stitched together to make the rucksack. Maddie uses her slow-motion camera to see how a special stitch called a bar tack stitch makes the handles of the rucksack really strong so we can carry heavy things.
