00:00
If you've got a question and you don't know where to go,
00:08
ask Nina for some help, cause she's got a science show.
00:11
She makes sense of her senses by helping all her fans,
00:14
by doing her experiments.
00:16
Touch her tongue, fingers, eyes, ears, ears, nose.
00:23
Nina and the neurons find out what you need to know.
00:29
Look, he helps us with our eyes and Felix with our touch.
00:32
Ollie sniffs our smells and sends some bells she hears so much.
00:35
But it's Ollie's brother, he helps us with our taste.
00:38
Then Nina's little neurons and they're coming to your place.
00:41
Touch her tongue, fingers, eyes, ears, nose.
00:47
Nina and the neurons find out what you need to know.
00:50
Yeah!
00:51
Nina and the neurons find out what you need to know.
00:53
Oh yeah!
00:54
Oh, hello there!
01:00
I'm just about to do an experiment to see how fast my swimmer friend
01:04
can swim across this tub of water.
01:06
So let's see.
01:07
Good luck!
01:09
Go, go!
01:11
You're doing really well.
01:13
What a great swimmer!
01:15
Oh!
01:16
I hear a beep.
01:17
I see a flash.
01:18
I wonder what they're going to ask.
01:23
Hi Nina!
01:24
Hi!
01:25
We've got a question for you.
01:27
How do we swim?
01:29
That's a great question.
01:31
How do we swim?
01:32
Swimming is a really fun sport.
01:34
But how do our bodies actually move through the water when we swim?
01:38
Why don't you come down to my lab and we'll investigate.
01:41
See you soon, Nina.
01:43
Bye!
01:44
Bye!
01:45
Well, I'm going to need some help to answer this one
01:48
and I know just who to ask.
01:50
OK, neurons, time to get to work!
01:52
Neurons at the ready, Nina!
02:09
OK, today's question is how do we swim?
02:13
Now which neuron do you think will be most useful in helping us find the answer?
02:17
Me!
02:18
Me!
02:19
Me!
02:20
Will it be Fabulous Felix?
02:22
I can help so very much if you need the sense of touch.
02:26
Will it be Beautiful Belle?
02:28
I send messages to Brain from ear.
02:30
If there's a sound, I'll help you hear.
02:32
Will it be Lovely Look?
02:34
For looking and seeing, day or night, I'll help you with your sense of sight.
02:39
Will it be Awesome Ollie?
02:41
If it's Polly or Whiffy but you can't tell, my messages help your sense of smell.
02:46
Or will it be Baby Bud?
02:47
Sour, salty, bitter or sweet. I'm your taste buddy whenever you eat.
02:53
It's Felix!
02:57
No Felix!
02:59
No Felix!
03:00
No Felix!
03:01
No Felix!
03:02
No Felix!
03:03
No Felix!
03:04
No Felix!
03:05
No Felix!
03:06
Marvellous!
03:07
A little touch can mean so much, Nina!
03:10
Today's question is how do we swim?
03:13
When we're swimming, we feel the water all around us.
03:16
So Felix, our touch neuron will be helping us.
03:19
Right, I need to get the lab ready before the experimenters arrive.
03:22
Olivia loves eating pizza.
03:28
Nina loves baking.
03:31
I like floating on my back.
03:33
I like jumping in.
03:35
But they both want to know, how do we swim?
03:38
So today, for one day only, Nina and Olivia become the experimenters!
03:43
Hi guys!
03:44
Hi Nina!
03:45
Welcome to my lab and thank you for your great question, how do we swim?
03:55
To find out the answer, let's start by using our senses.
03:58
Whoop whoop!
03:59
A senses experiment!
04:00
We're ready Nina!
04:01
Now there are quite a few different styles of swimming, aren't there?
04:06
Can you name any?
04:07
Crawling.
04:08
Yeah.
04:09
Can you think of any?
04:10
Breaststroke.
04:11
That's right, very good guys.
04:13
Well let's take a look at some.
04:15
This is the breaststroke.
04:17
Your arms go forward and then we pull them back.
04:21
You try.
04:22
Forward, pull them back.
04:24
That's it.
04:25
Keep going.
04:26
Good!
04:32
That feels simply marvellous.
04:35
Now what about this one?
04:38
This is the front crawl.
04:40
You put your arm out in front of you and pull it down under the water
04:44
and then do the same with the other arm.
04:46
So you guys do it too.
04:49
Oh very good.
04:50
Very good.
04:51
What about the doggy paddle Nina?
04:54
Oh yes, let's not forget my favourite stroke, the doggy paddle.
05:00
Oh thanks bud.
05:01
Hee hee.
05:02
Hee hee hee.
05:03
Ha ha ha.
05:04
So look carefully and tell me what parts of the swimmer's body are moving.
05:08
Their arms and legs Nina.
05:10
That's right.
05:11
When we're swimming we use our arms and our legs.
05:14
But how do they help us move through the water?
05:17
Well let's get experimenting.
05:20
So we know that we move our arms in different ways when we're swimming different strokes.
05:25
But why do you think we move them?
05:27
To go through the water.
05:29
Yes, our arms pull us through the water.
05:32
When we're swimming our hands are a bit like a paddle and they pull us through the water like this.
05:39
Do you want to try?
05:41
Make your hand like a paddle.
05:43
Listen.
05:44
Slush, slush, slush.
05:47
What does it feel like?
05:49
It feels like we're pulling the water.
05:52
So the hands act like a paddle which means you can pull more water.
05:57
And move through the water more easily.
06:00
That's right.
06:01
Well done neurons.
06:03
This is a great shape for our hands and our arms when we're swimming.
06:08
Because we pull lots of water towards us and it helps us to move.
06:12
But what about our legs?
06:14
How do they help us swim?
06:16
Time for another experiment.
06:18
And I know just the place.
06:20
Oh it's somewhere warm and bright with lovely clear blue water.
06:24
Let's go.
06:30
Hmm.
06:31
Where do you think we're going today?
06:33
Somewhere bright with clear blue water.
06:37
I can't wait.
06:39
A beautiful lake perhaps?
06:41
No!
06:42
I hope it's the seaside.
06:44
Something's got a strong smell but it's not the seaside.
06:48
I can smell chlorine.
06:50
It's a swimming pool.
06:53
So we know that you both can swim and you should always swim with an adult.
06:58
And to keep an extra eye on us today, we have Chris, our lifeguard.
07:02
Hi Chris!
07:03
Hi!
07:05
Now you're both holding floats.
07:07
Which means you won't be using your arms, just your legs.
07:10
So can I ask you to kick your legs for me and we'll see what happens.
07:14
Go!
07:18
And stop!
07:19
Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.
07:21
So what happened there?
07:23
We moved forward.
07:24
Yes, you weren't using your arms but your legs pushed you through the water.
07:29
Well done.
07:30
So this time you're holding on to the side of the pool and I want you to try kicking again.
07:35
Yay!
07:36
Splish, splosh, splish, splosh, splash.
07:40
Stop kicking and relax.
07:42
Whoa!
07:43
Now, what happened to your legs when you stopped kicking?
07:48
We dropped down in the water, Nina.
07:50
That's right.
07:51
Kicking keeps your legs up near the surface and also helps to keep your body flat in the water.
07:58
Why does a flat body help, Nina?
08:00
Great question, Belle.
08:01
Keeping our bodies as flat as possible makes it easier to move through the water when we swim.
08:07
So now we know that our arms pull us through the water and our legs push us through the water.
08:14
But which one helps us most with our swimming?
08:17
Time for another experiment.
08:19
So, your question was, how do we swim?
08:25
And so far we've discovered that swimmers use their arms and legs in lots of different ways.
08:30
And these are called swimming strokes.
08:32
So let's have a look at Rory and Alistair swimming.
08:38
Do you know what stroke they were doing?
08:40
The breaststroke.
08:41
Now, Rory and Alistair did the breaststroke at the same speed.
08:45
But this time, Rory is only going to use his arms and Alistair is only going to use his legs.
08:52
So who do you think will be fastest?
08:54
I think the one using their arms.
08:57
I think the one using their legs.
08:59
Well, let's see.
09:01
Are you ready, swimmers?
09:05
Ready, steady, go!
09:08
Yes!
09:09
Come on!
09:10
Come on!
09:11
You can do it!
09:15
Now, watch carefully.
09:16
You can see that Rory is pulling the water with his arms and hands.
09:30
And Alistair is pushing the water with his legs.
09:33
Froggy Legs is leading!
09:35
So who finished faster?
09:36
The legs only swimmer, Nina.
09:37
Yes, Alistair, who's just using his legs to push through the water, won the race.
09:53
And that's because in the breaststroke, our legs help us to move much more than our arms
09:58
do.
09:59
So let's try the same experiment again, but this time with front crawl.
10:11
But this time, Rory is only going to use his arms and Alistair is only going to use his legs.
10:16
So who do you think will win?
10:18
Arms only, Nina.
10:19
Ned's only.
10:20
OK, well, let's see.
10:21
Are you ready, swimmers?
10:22
Ready, steady, go!
10:23
Woo!
10:24
Now watch carefully.
10:25
You can see that Rory is pulling the water with his arms and hands and Alistair is pushing
10:40
the water with his legs.
10:41
So who finished faster?
10:54
Was it arms only swimmer or legs only swimmer?
10:58
The arms only swimmer, Nina.
11:00
Yes, Rory, the arms only swimmer was faster.
11:03
And that's because in the front crawl, our arms move us much more than our legs do.
11:08
So for breaststroke, the legs are important.
11:11
Because froggy legs move us quickly.
11:14
And in front crawl, most movement comes from the arms.
11:19
Well, remember, neurons.
11:20
And thank you very much to our brilliant swimmers.
11:23
Thanks, guys.
11:24
Bye!
11:25
The great thing about swimming is that bodies of all shapes and sizes can move quickly through
11:31
the water.
11:32
We can use the swimming stroke that suits our body.
11:37
These are Paralympic swimmers.
11:40
They've found the best way to use their arms and legs to move as fast as they can.
11:45
Those swimmers are amazing.
11:47
Yes, look, swimming is a brilliant sport for everyone.
11:51
So, your question was, how do we swim?
11:59
And I think we've answered it.
12:01
Swimmers move their arms and legs in different ways.
12:04
For some strokes, our legs push us through the water.
12:08
And for others, our arms and hands pull us through.
12:12
And once you find your favourite stroke, swimming is brilliant fun!
12:18
So, I hope that's answered your question.
12:20
Thanks, Nina.
12:21
Bye!
12:22
You're welcome.
12:23
Bye!
12:24
