0:00:38 > 0:00:40# Let's find out! #

0:00:45 > 0:00:50Hello, I'm Maddie. And today, I'm going out for a nice long walk.

0:00:50 > 0:00:53I don't know about you, but when I go on a long walk,

0:00:53 > 0:00:55I like to take a few things with me.

0:00:55 > 0:00:56What do you take?

0:00:56 > 0:00:58I've got some snacks in here.

0:00:58 > 0:01:00A juicy apple

0:01:00 > 0:01:02and a drink.

0:01:02 > 0:01:04Fizzy water. It's one of my favourites.

0:01:04 > 0:01:06PFFT!

0:01:06 > 0:01:07Oh! I love that sound.

0:01:07 > 0:01:10And did you see how all the bubbles rose to the top

0:01:10 > 0:01:15when I opened the bottle? But how do the bubbles get into the water?

0:01:15 > 0:01:19Do you know how fizzy water works?

0:01:19 > 0:01:21Let's find out.

0:01:27 > 0:01:32To show you how fizzy water is made, I've come to a fizzy water factory

0:01:32 > 0:01:38where they produce around two million bottles of water every day.

0:01:38 > 0:01:41The water is stored inside these tanks before it goes into

0:01:41 > 0:01:43the factory to get its bubbles.

0:01:43 > 0:01:46But where does the water come from?

0:01:48 > 0:01:51The water comes from this spring,

0:01:51 > 0:01:56where rainwater has collected underground for thousands of years.

0:01:56 > 0:02:01It bubbles up to the surface and it sent through pipes into the factory.

0:02:01 > 0:02:04And it's sent to something called the chiller.

0:02:04 > 0:02:08The chiller cools down the water so that it's nice and cold

0:02:08 > 0:02:10before it gets put into bottles.

0:02:10 > 0:02:13But the water inside the chiller looks like this.

0:02:13 > 0:02:17It's still, which means it doesn't have any bubbles.

0:02:17 > 0:02:20It's not fizzy like this one.

0:02:20 > 0:02:25So, how does still water become fizzy water?

0:02:28 > 0:02:30It's time for some bubbles!

0:02:32 > 0:02:36The still water is made fizzy by these two tanks.

0:02:36 > 0:02:40This tank is called a carbonation tank.

0:02:40 > 0:02:44It makes the water fizzy by pushing a gas called carbon dioxide

0:02:44 > 0:02:47into the water.

0:02:47 > 0:02:49Here's how it works.

0:02:50 > 0:02:53Water contains a gas called oxygen.

0:02:53 > 0:02:57To make the water fizzy, we need to remove the oxygen.

0:02:57 > 0:03:01Inside the tank is a metal plate with holes in it, like a sieve.

0:03:01 > 0:03:05The holes are so small that, as the water squeezes through them,

0:03:05 > 0:03:07the oxygen gas escapes.

0:03:07 > 0:03:11And it's taken away through a vent at the top of the tank.

0:03:11 > 0:03:12Bye-bye, oxygen!

0:03:12 > 0:03:14Now the oxygen is removed,

0:03:14 > 0:03:16we can make the water fizzy.

0:03:16 > 0:03:19The water, with no oxygen in it,

0:03:19 > 0:03:22is sent to the second big tank.

0:03:22 > 0:03:28Here, carbon dioxide gas is pushed into the water very, very fast.

0:03:28 > 0:03:32As more and more carbon dioxide bubbles fill the tank of water,

0:03:32 > 0:03:34pressure builds up.

0:03:34 > 0:03:38This makes the bubbles dissolve into the water

0:03:38 > 0:03:40so that we can't see them any more.

0:03:40 > 0:03:43And now, the water is fizzy.

0:03:43 > 0:03:46The pressure is like a balloon ready to burst,

0:03:46 > 0:03:50and it stays like this as the water is put into bottles.

0:03:50 > 0:03:54We only see the bubbles again when the bottle is opened.

0:03:54 > 0:03:55The pressure is released,

0:03:55 > 0:03:57we hear a big fizzing sound,

0:03:57 > 0:04:00and the bubbles rush to the surface.

0:04:00 > 0:04:02Clever, isn't it?

0:04:02 > 0:04:03Let's use my special camera

0:04:03 > 0:04:07to get a closer look at the carbonation tanks.

0:04:07 > 0:04:12So, the cold, still water comes in from the chiller,

0:04:12 > 0:04:15through the pipe, and into this first tank.

0:04:15 > 0:04:20And inside here, all of the oxygen is sieved out.

0:04:20 > 0:04:23And then it goes into this second tank,

0:04:23 > 0:04:26and in the second tank the water gets its bubbles.

0:04:26 > 0:04:28The carbon dioxide goes in

0:04:28 > 0:04:31through this pipe just here,

0:04:31 > 0:04:34and it's squeezed and squeezed into the water until all of the

0:04:34 > 0:04:38bubbles dissolve, and then, when it's fizzy,

0:04:38 > 0:04:40the water comes out of the tank,

0:04:40 > 0:04:44goes through this pipe, off to get put into bottles.

0:04:48 > 0:04:52And this is where the bottles are filled with water.

0:04:52 > 0:04:56Look how fast the bottles fill up with the water!

0:04:59 > 0:05:03So this is a finished bottle of fizzy water.

0:05:03 > 0:05:07I can't see any bubbles, can you? Shall we let the bubbles out?

0:05:07 > 0:05:09PFFFFT!

0:05:09 > 0:05:12Oh! Ha-ha! 'Did you hear that? Let's hear it again.'

0:05:12 > 0:05:14PFFFFT!

0:05:14 > 0:05:16'What a brilliant hissing sound.'

0:05:16 > 0:05:19As I undid the lid all of the gas was released,

0:05:19 > 0:05:21and they bubbled up to the top.

0:05:21 > 0:05:27Let's use my special camera to slow things down and watch it again.

0:05:27 > 0:05:30This camera films in slow motion, which means that when I

0:05:30 > 0:05:34open the bottle, the bubbles of gas will be released and we can see it

0:05:34 > 0:05:37happening really slowly.

0:05:37 > 0:05:40So, let's press record.

0:05:40 > 0:05:42Are you ready?

0:05:43 > 0:05:47Can you see there are no bubbles until I open the bottle.

0:05:47 > 0:05:52And then thousands of tiny bubbles rush to the surface.

0:05:52 > 0:05:54Now THAT was brilliant.

0:05:54 > 0:05:57All of those little bubbles, you can still see them,

0:05:57 > 0:06:01those bubbles of carbon dioxide gas were just waiting to be released,

0:06:01 > 0:06:06and as soon as I undid the lid, they certainly were!

0:06:06 > 0:06:07They're still going!

0:06:09 > 0:06:14What was your favourite bit about seeing how fizzy water works?

0:06:14 > 0:06:18Do you remember the name of the gas that makes the water fizzy?

0:06:18 > 0:06:21That's right - it's called carbon dioxide.

0:06:21 > 0:06:25Did you hear the sound the bottle made when I opened it?

0:06:25 > 0:06:26PFFFFT!

0:06:26 > 0:06:28Oh! Ha-ha!

0:06:28 > 0:06:31And did you see the way the bubbles go up inside the bottle

0:06:31 > 0:06:34when I used my special camera?

0:06:39 > 0:06:42So, the next time you have some fizzy water, you'll know how the

0:06:42 > 0:06:48bubbles got inside and how they stay hidden until you open the bottle.

0:06:48 > 0:06:52Now, it's time for a snack. Ooh - I could have a yoghurt.

0:07:00 > 0:07:03Yum. Strawberry yoghurt.

0:07:03 > 0:07:06I like yoghurt. Do you?

0:07:06 > 0:07:10But, do you know how yoghurt is made?

0:07:10 > 0:07:12Where does yoghurt come from?

0:07:12 > 0:07:14Let's find out.

0:07:20 > 0:07:25The first things we need to make our yoghurt are just in here.

0:07:27 > 0:07:30Lots and lots of cows.

0:07:37 > 0:07:40All yoghurt is made from milk, but the yoghurt we're going

0:07:40 > 0:07:44to see being made today comes from cows' milk.

0:07:44 > 0:07:47So, to see yoghurt being made, first, we need some milk.

0:07:56 > 0:07:58All these cows are about to be milked,

0:07:58 > 0:08:01which means their milk is collected from their udders.

0:08:01 > 0:08:06And you can see their udders underneath the cows.

0:08:06 > 0:08:08Can you see Rich, the herdsman?

0:08:08 > 0:08:11He's attaching a special pipe to the cows' udders.

0:08:14 > 0:08:16This is called a cluster,

0:08:16 > 0:08:20and it gently sucks the milk from the cows udders and takes it

0:08:20 > 0:08:24down this pipe to this plastic tub called a milk meter,

0:08:24 > 0:08:28which measures the amount of milk the cow produces.

0:08:37 > 0:08:41And once they're finished milking, the clusters just fall off

0:08:41 > 0:08:43and the cows head back to the barn.

0:08:43 > 0:08:46Mooooo!

0:08:46 > 0:08:50In one day, a single cow can make 21 pints of milk.

0:08:50 > 0:08:53That's 21 of these.

0:08:53 > 0:08:57That's enough for 70 bowls of cereal.

0:08:57 > 0:09:00But how does milk turn into yoghurt?

0:09:05 > 0:09:09Once the milk has been collected, it's taken to the factory in

0:09:09 > 0:09:13a lorry and stored in huge tanks called milk silos.

0:09:13 > 0:09:17The milk is then taken from the silos into the factory to be

0:09:17 > 0:09:18made into yoghurt.

0:09:18 > 0:09:22The first stage is for all the ingredients to get mixed together.

0:09:22 > 0:09:25And that happens here, in the mixing room.

0:09:25 > 0:09:29Yoghurt is made from milk, cream, some milk powder,

0:09:29 > 0:09:30and a bit of sugar.

0:09:30 > 0:09:33And once they're mixed together, they get sent on to the

0:09:33 > 0:09:35next part of the factory.

0:09:35 > 0:09:39The next stage happens in here, and it's very noisy.

0:09:40 > 0:09:42MACHINES WHOOSH AND WHIR

0:09:42 > 0:09:45Look at all those pipes.

0:09:45 > 0:09:49All the ingredients that have now been mixed together are heated up.

0:09:49 > 0:09:51This is called pasteurisation,

0:09:51 > 0:09:55and it gets rid of any bad bacteria that could be in the milk.

0:09:55 > 0:09:58Once it's reached the right temperature,

0:09:58 > 0:10:01the pasteurised mixture is moved into one of these.

0:10:01 > 0:10:04They're called incubation tanks,

0:10:04 > 0:10:06and they are huge.

0:10:06 > 0:10:09Now a special ingredient is added.

0:10:09 > 0:10:13And it will turn the milky mixture into yoghurt.

0:10:14 > 0:10:18The special ingredient is called a starter culture,

0:10:18 > 0:10:22and it's made of a mix of good bacteria.

0:10:27 > 0:10:31Bacteria has to be kept in the freezer, because as soon as

0:10:31 > 0:10:36it gets warm and is put in the incubator, it starts to multiply.

0:10:36 > 0:10:38The starter culture is added to the yoghurt

0:10:38 > 0:10:41and then left to get to work.

0:10:41 > 0:10:44And when it's added to the milky mixture inside this

0:10:44 > 0:10:48incubation tank, it starts to multiply.

0:10:48 > 0:10:50This means that two good bacteria

0:10:50 > 0:10:52become four, four become eight,

0:10:52 > 0:10:55and eight become 16, and so on,

0:10:55 > 0:10:57until you have lots of good bacteria

0:10:57 > 0:10:59mixed in with the milk.

0:10:59 > 0:11:03Inside this incubator, the yoghurt has already been mixed,

0:11:03 > 0:11:06so lets use my special camera to take a look.

0:11:06 > 0:11:10Whoa! It's so thick and creamy.

0:11:10 > 0:11:14All of that good bacteria has multiplied and multiplied,

0:11:14 > 0:11:17which has made everything really thick.

0:11:17 > 0:11:19It's turned it into yoghurt.

0:11:21 > 0:11:26The yoghurt is cooled down to stop the bacteria multiplying any more.

0:11:26 > 0:11:28And it's piped to a smaller tank.

0:11:28 > 0:11:33This is plain, natural yoghurt, and it's lovely on its own.

0:11:33 > 0:11:38It's great for cooking, you might have even had it on muesli at home.

0:11:38 > 0:11:42But sometimes it's nice to add a bit of flavour.

0:11:42 > 0:11:44What flavour yoghurt do you like?

0:11:44 > 0:11:46Do you like peach?

0:11:46 > 0:11:47Blackcurrant?

0:11:47 > 0:11:51Let's see what flavour this yoghurt's going to be.

0:11:51 > 0:11:53This is strawberry puree,

0:11:53 > 0:11:57and it's going to turn the plain yoghurt into strawberry yoghurt.

0:11:57 > 0:11:59My favourite.

0:12:01 > 0:12:05The mixer turns the yoghurt and fruit puree into

0:12:05 > 0:12:07a lovely pink colour.

0:12:07 > 0:12:10It's now time for the drop test.

0:12:10 > 0:12:12And this is where the team check

0:12:12 > 0:12:14that the yoghurt is the right thickness.

0:12:14 > 0:12:18If the yoghurt is thick enough, it's ready to go into pots.

0:12:18 > 0:12:23The machine works so quickly. One dollop of yoghurt in every pot.

0:12:23 > 0:12:25And look how many pots there are.

0:12:29 > 0:12:35This factory could make over a million pots of yoghurt a day.

0:12:39 > 0:12:43I love the sound of the lids being glued down onto the pots.

0:12:45 > 0:12:49It sounds like a train going over tracks.

0:12:49 > 0:12:52CLACKETY-CLACK! CLACKETY-CLACK!

0:12:57 > 0:13:00And here we go, a finished pack of yoghurt.

0:13:00 > 0:13:04Just like you'd see in the shops, or maybe even in the fridge at home.

0:13:04 > 0:13:09What was your favourite part about seeing how yoghurt was made?

0:13:09 > 0:13:13Do you remember what part of the cow the milk comes from?

0:13:13 > 0:13:15That's right - it's the udder.

0:13:16 > 0:13:20Did you hear the sound of the lids being pressed onto the pots?

0:13:20 > 0:13:23CLACKETY-CLACK! CLACKETY-CLACK!

0:13:23 > 0:13:27And did you see how the bacteria thickened the yoghurt?

0:13:35 > 0:13:38So, the next time you tuck into a tasty yoghurt,

0:13:38 > 0:13:43you'll know that it started out as milk that came from a cow.

0:13:43 > 0:13:45Thank you, cows!

0:13:45 > 0:13:48And, now you know how the bubbles get into fizzy water.

0:13:48 > 0:13:50I'll see you next time.
