Hairclippers and Ballet Shoes

Overview

Today, Maddie is dressing up. She visits a barber to find out how clippers work to cut hair. Using a special microscope camera, Maddie shows us how the blades work, and a slow-motion camera lets us see the clippers in action. Next, Maddie visits a factory where ballet shoes are made. Using materials like satin and ribbon, Maddie sees how all the different cutters, sewing machines and hammers are used to put ballet shoes together.
