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.
00:19Out your tongue, fingers, eyes, ears, nose.
00:24Every day we use our sense and 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's sexist, smells and sounds and bells she hears so much.
00:49But it's Ollie's brother, he helps us with our taste.
00:52The heaters, the 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.
01:04Yeah!
01:04Nina and the neurons find out what you need to know.
01:07Oh yeah!
01:10Oh hello, you've caught me looking into the mirror.
01:13But they're no ordinary mirrors, they're great fun.
01:16Have a look at this.
01:17Oh, I'm enormous.
01:20Oh, I'm blowing up like a balloon.
01:24But we can soon sort that out.
01:26If I just take a step to my right.
01:30I've become all narrow.
01:33I'll be lucky if my trousers stay up.
01:35Now the reason this is happening is because of the shape of the mirrors.
01:39This mirror here curves out the way and makes me look all narrow.
01:44But this mirror is the opposite.
01:48It curves in the way and makes me look really wide.
01:54And it also works with height as well.
01:58This mirror makes me look like I've shrunk.
02:01And that's because the mirror is curved towards me.
02:11It almost looks like I've been stretched.
02:19Oh, sounds like I've got a question.
02:20I better go and see who it is.
02:27I hear a beep.
02:28I see a flash.
02:29I wonder what they're going to ask.
02:35Hi, Nina.
02:36I'm William.
02:37And I've got a question to ask you.
02:40Hi, William.
02:41What would you like to ask?
02:42Does my granny really need glasses?
02:46Thanks, William.
02:47I'd love to help answer your question.
02:49See you soon.
02:50Thanks, Nina.
02:51Bye.
02:52Bye.
02:54Well, I think we're going to need some help to answer this one.
02:57And I know just who to ask.
02:59OK, neurons.
03:00Time to get to work.
03:17Neurons at the ready, Nina.
03:20OK, William wants to know if his granny needs glasses.
03:24Which neuron do you think will be most useful to help us answer the question?
03:27Me!
03:28Me!
03:28Oh, me!
03:30Me!
03:30Me!
03:30Will it be fabulous Felix?
03:33I can help so very much if you need the sense of touch.
03:37Will it be beautiful Belle?
03:39I send messages brain to ear.
03:41If there's a sound, I'll help you hear.
03:43Will it be lovely look?
03:45For looking and seeing, day or night, I'll help you with your sense of sight.
03:50Will it be awesome Ollie?
03:52If it's Pony or Withy, but you can't tell, my messages help your sense of smell.
03:57Or will it be baby bud?
03:59Sour, salty, bitter or sweet.
04:01I'm your taste buddy whenever you eat.
04:08It's Luke.
04:10Go Luke.
04:12Go Luke.
04:13Go Luke.
04:14Go Luke.
04:15Go Luke.
04:16Go Luke.
04:17Go Luke.
04:18Cool, Nina.
04:19I'll be looking out to help you.
04:23Glasses are used to help you see.
04:25So Luke, the sight neuron will be busy today.
04:30OK, then, let's go.
04:33OK, then, let's go.
04:59In the town of Paisley lives William, his little brother Lawrence, big brother Brian, granny and his mum.
05:07Today, for one day only, William and his family are...
05:13The Experimenters!
05:19Hi, everyone.
05:20Hi, Nina.
05:22Ah, you must be William.
05:24Yeah.
05:24Now, your question was, does my granny really need glasses?
05:28Yeah.
05:29So, granny, do you need glasses?
05:31Well, I don't need them all of the time.
05:34Actually, I've just lost them.
05:35Ah, well, we shall see if you do need them in our experiment.
05:42OK, this experiment will show us, should granny be wearing glasses?
05:47And all of you can help us.
05:49And what I'd like you to do is to go to the other end of the garden, as far away
05:53from me as possible.
05:54Can you do that?
05:55Brilliant.
05:56Laurie, can you maybe go first?
05:58Lead the way.
05:59Brilliant.
05:59And I'll just get things set up here.
06:03Oh, granny, you too.
06:05How are you today, Luke?
06:12Oh, it's my big moment.
06:14Standing by, ready to send lots of messages.
06:20Oh, oh, sorry.
06:22Are you OK, granny?
06:23Huh?
06:25Right, is everyone ready?
06:27So, William, you're going to go first.
06:29And what I'd like you to do is to walk slowly towards me.
06:33And when you can see the picture clearly, I'd like you to stand still and shout out what it is.
06:39OK?
06:40But all the pictures are different, so no helping each other.
06:43We don't want any cheaters.
06:45OK?
06:45Right, I'm going to turn the pictures around.
06:49And...
06:51William, off you go.
06:55It's an aeroplane.
06:58Fantastic.
06:59That's no problem for you.
07:01So why don't you step to the side and it's Laurie's turn.
07:04Brilliant.
07:06I'll just change the picture, Laurie.
07:09Off you go.
07:11As soon as you can tell what it is, stop.
07:15What do you think it is?
07:16A boat.
07:18Brilliant.
07:18Fantastic.
07:19Again, you've got really good eyesight.
07:21So if you want to just stand to the side, it's time for Mum.
07:26Are you ready, Mum?
07:27I'll just change the picture.
07:30And...
07:30Off you go.
07:43It's a Laurie.
07:45Brilliant, Mum.
07:46No trouble at all.
07:47If you just step to the side, that's fantastic.
07:50Lovely.
07:50Brian, your turn.
07:54And whenever you're ready, off you go.
08:01It's a helicopter.
08:03Excellent work.
08:04Brilliant.
08:05Thank you very much.
08:05Now, if you just step in.
08:07Mum and Brian had to go much closer to the picture than William and Laurie.
08:11I can't wait to find out how Granny gets on without her glasses.
08:16Granny's turn.
08:17Granny's turn.
08:17You ready, Granny?
08:18Let me just change this for you.
08:22And...
08:22Off you go.
08:30I don't think that's a dog.
08:32Nearly.
08:34Try again.
08:37No, it's a cat.
08:39Try again.
08:41No, it's a pony.
08:43What's it?
08:45It's a bicycle, Nina.
08:49Well done, Gran.
08:51It's a bicycle.
08:52Well done.
08:53Who had Granny had to get really close to see the picture of the bicycle?
08:57It is because she is not wearing her glasses.
09:01Granny needs her glasses to help her eyes see things more clearly.
09:05Everybody's eyes are so different.
09:07Now, William, you and Laurie, you're both quite far away.
09:11You managed to see that from all the way over there, so you have really good eyesight.
09:15And Mum and Brian, that wasn't too bad at all.
09:19You just came to the bottom of the steps and then you shouted nice and clear exactly what
09:23was on the picture there.
09:24Granny, you had to come a little bit further.
09:27Maybe that means you do need your glasses after all.
09:31All right, William, up you come.
09:34OK, your question was, does Granny need to wear glasses?
09:38And that experiment taught us that all our eyes are different.
09:42For example, you could identify the picture from really far away.
09:46But your Granny, she had to come really close before she could see what it was.
09:50And we still have one more problem to solve.
09:53Where are Granny's glasses?
09:55I don't know.
09:57Neither do I.
10:02Oh, Granny, you must be tired out.
10:05I am a wee bit.
10:06Why don't you just take a seat?
10:08Do you remember where you last had your glasses?
10:11Well, to be honest, I had them this morning, but I think I've mislaid them.
10:16Hmm, maybe out in the garden.
10:18I was out here reading my book earlier.
10:20OK.
10:21Well, don't you worry about it at all, because we are going to help you find them.
10:25In fact, we could have a Granny's glasses hunt.
10:28Will you help me, William?
10:30Yes.
10:30Excellent.
10:31Right, let's get looking.
10:36Not here, Nina.
10:39Not here, Nina.
10:43Oh.
10:46Oh.
11:08Oh, I'm so sorry, Granny.
11:11We couldn't find them anywhere.
11:14Oh.
11:14Oh, they're here all the time.
11:16Oh, you've been sitting on them.
11:18Oh, baby.
11:18Oh, she was sitting on them all the time.
11:23No wonder they couldn't find them.
11:26Oh, what a relief.
11:29Oh, just one more thing.
11:31I found this lovely red ribbon.
11:34And if we attach it to the ends of your glasses, you can wear it around your neck, and then
11:39you will never, ever lose your glasses again.
11:43There you go.
11:44There you go.
11:49Oh, things look much clearer now.
11:52Thank you, Nina.
11:53That's okay.
11:58Ah, brilliant.
12:00So, we've learned today that our eyes all work differently from each other.
12:04Some people can see better than others, just like your granny.
12:07She needs her glasses so she can see more clearly.
12:10So, I'm glad I could help you answer your question.
12:13And it was easy when we used our senses, wasn't it?
12:15Yeah.
12:15But it's time for me to go.
12:17But thank you very much.
12:18Bye, William.
12:19Bye, Nina.
12:21Bye.
12:45Well, I definitely work the hardest to do.
12:49Especially searching for granny's glasses.
12:54There were loads of sounds to keep me busy.
12:57I was listening to everyone shouting out their answers during the experiment.
13:02It's an ear, Dathwin.
13:03A book.
13:05Well, I was working hard too, you know.
13:07Touching the plants and flowers as we searched for the glasses.
13:12They felt so good.
13:15Well, we've had a bit of an easy day, haven't we, Bud?
13:19Yeah.
13:20Not much smelling and tasting today, sis.
13:22But I've still had a fabby time.
13:33Well, that was great fun.
13:35I hope you've had a sensational time too.
13:37Bye.
13:39Bye.
13:45Bye.
