00:07If you've got a question and you don't know where to go,
00:10ask Nina for some help, cause she's got a science show.
00:13She makes sense of her senses by helping all her fans,
00:16by doing her experiments with potions and with bags.
00:19Touch her tongue, fingers, eyes, ears, nose.
00:24Every day we use our senses, wherever we may go.
00:32Tongue, fingers, eyes, ears, nose.
00:37Nina and the neurons find out what you need to know.
00:40Nina and the neurons find out what you need to know.
00:43Look, he helps us with our eyes and Felix with our touch.
00:46Ollie sticks, our smells and some bells she hears so much.
00:49But it's Ollie's brother, he helps us with our taste.
00:52Nina's little neurons and they're coming to your place.
00:55Touch your tongue, fingers, eyes, ears, nose.
01:01Nina and the neurons find out what you need to know.
01:04Nina and the neurons find out what you need to know.
01:07Oh yeah!
01:09Hi everyone!
01:11Hi Nina!
01:13Now, today's experiment we're going to find out how much sugar is in food.
01:17And I've got some leftovers here from my lunch.
01:20We've got some fish, pieces of dried banana and some jelly beers which were a bit of a special treat.
01:26But you can't tell how much sugar is in each just by looking at them.
01:30So I need something else to help me.
01:32And I have just the thing.
01:35Now in these tubes is a chemical called potassium chlorate.
01:39And we have to be very careful with it.
01:40Because when it mixes with sugar, something very unusual happens.
01:45So, let's try our fish first.
01:49Now, do we think there's any sugar in this fish?
01:52No!
01:54Well, let's see.
01:56OK, I'm just going to pop it into our test tube.
01:59Oh!
02:00And I'll just need the stirring rod, Gabby.
02:06Oh!
02:07You are right!
02:08There's no sugar in fish.
02:10And we know that because nothing happened.
02:12Fantastic!
02:13OK, now we're moving on to the dried banana.
02:17Now, dried banana, do you think there's any sugar in here?
02:20No!
02:21No!
02:22Well, I'm not sure.
02:24Let's have a look.
02:28Oh!
02:29Oh!
02:31Isn't that brilliant?
02:33Well, there must have been sugar in the dried banana.
02:35Because when it mixed with the chemical, it went up in flames.
02:39Now, last but not least, let's try the jelly beer.
02:44Now, do we think there's any sugar in the jelly beer?
02:48Yeah!
02:49Well, I think you might be right, so I might stand back for this one, OK?
02:53Go on, jelly bear.
02:55Oh!
02:57Here it goes!
02:59Whoo!
03:00Oh!
03:01Oh!
03:01Oh!
03:03Oh, it's burning really brightly, isn't it?
03:08Wow!
03:09Isn't that brilliant?
03:10There must be loads of sugar in the jelly bear.
03:12Yes!
03:14Oh!
03:15It's stopped!
03:16After all that, it's finally stopped.
03:18Now, the jelly bear burnt really, really brightly.
03:21And it lasted for much longer than the dried banana.
03:24So that tells us that the jelly bear definitely contains the most sugar.
03:29Oh, and we all know that sugar's bad for our teeth, don't we?
03:32Yes!
03:32Yes!
03:33So, no more jelly bears for me.
03:42Oh, I hear a beep.
03:43I see a flash.
03:44I wonder what they're going to ask.
03:53Hi, Nina.
03:54I'm Millie.
03:55I've got a question for you.
03:57Why do we need to eat?
03:59Oh, that's a great question, Millie.
04:01Why do we need to eat?
04:03Now, we like eating because food tastes good, but why do we actually need to eat?
04:08Oh, tell you what, Millie, why don't I meet you at the shops?
04:12That'll be a good place to start.
04:14Thanks, Nina.
04:15See you soon.
04:16Bye!
04:17Bye!
04:19Well, I'm going to need some help to answer this one, and I know just who to ask.
04:23OK, neurons, time to get to work.
04:43OK, today's question is why do we need to eat?
04:46Now, which neuron do you think will be most useful in helping us find the answer?
04:50Me!
04:51Me!
04:52Me!
04:52Me!
04:52Me!
04:53Me!
04:53Me!
04:53Me!
04:53Me!
04:54Me!
05:12Me!
05:22Me!
05:23Me!
05:31Me!
05:34Me!
05:36Me!
05:37Me!
05:41Yippee! It's you and me! Standby for a taste and smell-a-thon.
05:47Thanks, guys. Today's question is why do we need to eat? And because we eat food, and
05:52food is something we taste and smell, Bud and Ollie will be helping us, but standby
05:56neurons, I may be needing help from all of you today.
06:02OK. Let's go!
06:24Milly's question is all about eating. Eating scrummy, runny,
06:28food, crunchy, munchy food, and yummy, messy food. So today, for one day only, Millie
06:34David and her mum become the experimenters.
06:40Right, that's me got my basket. Now all I need to do is find Millie with her mum and
06:45her friend David.
06:46Hi, Nina.
06:47Hi, Millie. Hi, David. Oh, and hi, Mum. I see you've got a list of shopping to do.
06:53Yes, Nina. It takes a lot of food to feed this hungry lot.
06:56Oh, I love eating too. And Millie, your question was, why do we need to eat? So why do you
07:02want
07:02to know about that?
07:03Well, Mum's always telling me it's important to eat up all my dinner, and I want to know
07:08why.
07:09Hmm. Well, to answer this question, I think the first thing we need to do is find out
07:12more about what we eat. OK, so Mum, you can carry on with your shopping. And Millie and
07:17David, will you come and help me?
07:19Yeah.
07:19Let's go.
07:23Oh, right. We don't have much time to get what I need, so let's get moving. Can I have
07:29some of that cheese there, please?
07:32Oh, I love shopping. Seeing all the yummy food just makes me want to taste everything.
07:45Wow. Look at all that fabulous fruit. So many beautiful colours. You just want to reach
07:52out and touch them.
07:57Oh, check out these potatoes, guys. What is your favourite way to eat potatoes?
08:02Oh, mashed up and fluffy. I like baked potatoes from the oven. Oh, that sounds lovely. Well,
08:08you can do both of those things, and you can also chop them. Now, do you know what that
08:12makes?
08:12Chips.
08:13That's right. But there'll be no chips for us today. I've got to keep searching for
08:17what I need. This way. Oh, look, guys, cheese.
08:24Oh, cheese, yummy. Cheese has got lots of calcium in it. And do you know what calcium's good for?
08:30Cheese. That's right. And it's also really good for your bones. Get some of that, Nina.
08:36Sorry, bud. Cheese isn't on the list today. I'm looking for something else, which I think
08:40might be over this way. Follow me. Oh, at last, this is just what I've been looking for, the
08:49delicious nuts and seeds. So, Millie, could you please pass me the sunflower seeds? Thank
08:56you very much. Well, after all that, this is all I need. Oh, and it looks like your mum's
09:01finished as well. Hi, guys. Hi, Mum. Hi. Oh, look at all the shopping you've got. Now,
09:10let's have a closer look to see what different types of food you have in the basket. There's
09:14some fruit and veg, bread, and there's some cheese, yogurts, meat, and fish as well. Oh,
09:23what's this? Packed with fresh ingredients to give a lovely glossy coat. But you guys
09:29don't have your coats with you today. No, Nina. It's food for the dog. And we've got cat food
09:34and fish food. So you mean there's not just food for people in here. There's food for pets as well.
09:41Oh,
09:41and Mum, I see you've got another type of food as well. Plant food? Yes, plants need feeding
09:47too, Nina. So, from Mum's basket, we found out that we eat lots and lots of different types
09:53of food. But it's not just people that need food. All living things like animals and plants
09:59need food too. But we still don't know why. So I think we should pay for this shopping and
10:05go back to the lab to find out. I wonder where they are? Sorry we're late, Nina. We had to
10:15stop to put petrol in the car. Oh, that's OK. No worries at all. You see, petrol is like food
10:21for your car. It's a type of fuel and you put fuel into something to give it energy to make
10:26it work. So what do you think we might use? Food. Exactly. So let's find out how food gives
10:33us energy. I bought some sunflower seeds. They're great as a healthy snack. And I also happen
10:41to have with me a fan and a radio. So let me see if the radio works. Do you hear
10:49anything?
10:49No. Oh, there's no batteries in the radio. You see, batteries have chemicals in them
10:56that give out energy to make things work. So without batteries, we need to find something
11:01else to make the radio work. Like these. Sunflower seeds. Yes, sunflower seeds. How can sunflower
11:09seeds make the fan move? I'm just going to put a nice big pile of sunflower seeds on the tripod.
11:18Lovely. Now, I need to put my goggles on for the next bit. And I'll keep a glove handy. I'm
11:27just going to put my blowtorch on. Woohoo! There we go. So I'll just pop my glove on and move
11:45this underneath our fan. Now let's see what happens. Look at that! Ha ha ha! Would you look
11:58at that? The fan has started to work. The sunflower seeds are giving loads of energy to the fan
12:05to make it work. Let's try the radio. I can hear the sound of the radio. The seeds are giving
12:14the radio
12:15energy and making it work. Very impressive, Nina. Food is so cool! Not only does it taste nice, but it
12:24has loads of energy inside it too!
12:27It's brilliant! It's brilliant, isn't it, bud? So our food does have energy in it, and that energy made the
12:33fan and the radio work, and it's how our bodies work too. That's why we need to eat. Food is
12:39our fuel. So without it, we wouldn't have the energy to do all the things we need to do.
12:48So, Millie, you asked why do we need to eat. So we found out that most things need fuel to
12:53give them energy to work. And humans need to eat, because food is our fuel. So you need to eat
12:59lots of good healthy food to give you loads of energy so you can do lots of fun things. Thanks,
13:04Nina!
13:33We'll see you next time.
13:35I really enjoyed myself today. All those lovely baking and fruity smells. Mmmmm.
13:41Ah, it's been such a great day, man, seeing all those lovely fruit and vegetables and all the beautiful colours.
13:50I've had a fabby day. My favourite was when Nina showed us how food has lots of energy in it.
13:57Oh, I've had a brilliant day, especially when the radio came on. That was fab.
14:03We've had a sensational time today. I hope you've enjoyed it too. See you again soon. Bye! Bye!
14:09Bye!
