SHE MIMICS SPACESHIP

0:00:570:01:00

Safe landing! Oh, hello there.

0:01:000:01:02

I'm just playing with my space rocket and, look,

0:01:020:01:05

Mr Astronaut is about to walk on the moon. Whoosh!

0:01:050:01:10

MIMICS SCI-FI DEEP SPACE ECHOES

0:01:100:01:13

Oh, I'd love to go to the moon.

0:01:130:01:16

-BEEPS

-Oh!

0:01:160:01:18

I hear a beep. I see a flash. I wonder what they're going to ask.

0:01:180:01:23

-Hi.

-Hi, Nina.

0:01:250:01:27

-Hi.

-We've got a question for you.

0:01:270:01:30

How do space rockets work?

0:01:300:01:33

That's a great question. How do space rockets work?

0:01:330:01:36

It's exciting when rockets go into space

0:01:360:01:38

and take astronauts there. How do they work?

0:01:380:01:41

Why don't you come down to my workshop and we'll investigate?

0:01:410:01:45

-BOTH:

-See you soon, Nina. Bye!

-Bye.

0:01:450:01:49

I'm going to need some help to answer this

0:01:490:01:52

and I know just who to ask. OK, neurons, time to get to work.

0:01:520:01:56

-ALL:

-Neurons at the ready.

0:02:110:02:14

OK, today's question is how do space rockets work?

0:02:140:02:17

Which neuron will be most useful in helping us find the answer?

0:02:170:02:21

-ALL:

-Me!

0:02:210:02:24

Will it be fabulous Felix?

0:02:240:02:27

I can help so very much if you need the sense of touch.

0:02:270:02:31

-Will it be beautiful Belle?

-I send messages to brain from ear.

0:02:310:02:35

If there's a sound, I'll help you hear.

0:02:350:02:37

Will it be lovely Luke?

0:02:370:02:39

For looking or seeing, day or night,

0:02:390:02:42

I'll help you with your sense of sight.

0:02:420:02:44

Will it be awesome Ollie?

0:02:440:02:46

If it's pongy or whiffy, but you can't tell,

0:02:460:02:49

my messages help your sense of smell.

0:02:490:02:51

Or will it be baby Bud?

0:02:510:02:53

Sour, salty, bitter or sweet,

0:02:530:02:55

I'm your taste buddy whenever you eat.

0:02:550:02:57

-It's Belle.

-CHEERING

0:03:020:03:04

-ALL:

-Go, Belle! Go, Belle! Go, Belle!

0:03:040:03:08

Brilliant. I'm all ears, Nina.

0:03:110:03:13

Today's question is how do space rockets work?

0:03:130:03:16

Space rockets make a huge noise when they blast off,

0:03:160:03:20

so we need Belle, our hearing neuron, to help us today.

0:03:200:03:23

Stand by, neurons, I may need help from all of you.

0:03:230:03:26

I need to get the workshop ready before the explorers arrive.

0:03:260:03:30

Hamna loves her dad and Suleiman loves cricket,

0:03:320:03:35

but they both want to know - how do space rockets work?

0:03:350:03:39

It's exciting to see rockets blast off.

0:03:390:03:42

I would like to go into space in a rocket.

0:03:420:03:45

So today, for one day only, Hamna and Suleiman become the explorers!

0:03:450:03:50

-Hi guys,

-BOTH:

-Hi, Nina!

0:03:540:03:56

Welcome to my workshop and thank you for your great question -

0:03:560:04:01

how do space rockets work?

0:04:010:04:03

To find out the answer, let's start by using our senses.

0:04:030:04:07

-ALL:

-Woo-hoo! A senses experiment. We're ready, Nina.

0:04:070:04:10

So, what is a space rocket for?

0:04:100:04:14

Going up into space.

0:04:140:04:15

Yes, going up, and it's up very, very high indeed.

0:04:150:04:19

Even higher than aeroplanes?

0:04:190:04:21

That's right, Ollie, it's much, much higher than aeroplanes go.

0:04:210:04:25

And because it's so high, we need a space rocket to get there.

0:04:250:04:29

The rocket has to travel very far,

0:04:290:04:31

high up above the Earth to get into space.

0:04:310:04:34

So, let's watch a rocket taking off.

0:04:340:04:37

What do you see, explorers?

0:04:390:04:41

There's fire coming out of the bottom.

0:04:410:04:44

Yes, it does look like fire is coming out of the bottom,

0:04:440:04:48

but it isn't really, it's gas whooshing out of the rocket.

0:04:480:04:52

It's a bit like this balloon.

0:04:520:04:54

-Now, what do you think is inside this balloon?

-Air.

0:04:550:04:59

Yes, you're right, and air is a gas.

0:04:590:05:01

So, let's see what happens when we let some out.

0:05:010:05:05

Can you hold your hand out for me?

0:05:050:05:08

BALLOON SQUEAKS

0:05:090:05:13

Whoo!

0:05:130:05:15

-Whoo!

-Whoosh!

0:05:150:05:18

Now, what did you feel, explorers?

0:05:180:05:20

Air on my hand.

0:05:200:05:22

Yes, air pushes out of the balloon,

0:05:220:05:25

and the same thing happens in a space rocket.

0:05:250:05:27

The gas pushes out of the bottom and makes the rocket go up into the air.

0:05:270:05:32

Let's see if we can use balloons to make air rockets. This way!

0:05:320:05:37

These balloons are full of normal air,

0:05:390:05:42

so what do you think will happen when we take the pegs off?

0:05:420:05:46

-They will go up.

-Well, let's see.

0:05:460:05:50

OK. Five, four, three, two, one.

0:05:500:05:56

-Blast off!

-Yeah!

-Yay!

-They both went up!

0:05:560:06:00

Whoosh! Zoom! Way-hey-hey!

0:06:000:06:05

-It was a big whoosh, wasn't it? And what made that noise?

-The air.

0:06:050:06:10

Yes, and it pushed the balloon all the way up.

0:06:100:06:14

Real space rockets don't use air.

0:06:140:06:16

It's another gas that pushes out of the bottom

0:06:160:06:19

and makes the rocket go up into the air. Whoosh!

0:06:190:06:23

-OLLIE:

-The gas came whooshing out of the balloons and made them

0:06:230:06:27

go up in the air.

0:06:270:06:28

FELIX: And space rockets work by gas whooshing out of them, too.

0:06:280:06:32

But, Nina, space rockets are really big.

0:06:320:06:35

Won't they need a lot of gas?

0:06:350:06:37

You're right, Felix, real ones are huge

0:06:370:06:39

and I don't think we've got the room for a real space rocket in here.

0:06:390:06:43

We need to go somewhere with a lot more space.

0:06:430:06:46

-BELLE:

-Nina said we're going somewhere with a lot more space.

0:06:480:06:52

BUD: We must be going to the moon! That's in space. Whoo-hoo!

0:06:520:06:57

We're astronauts.

0:06:570:06:59

That would be amazing. Ha-ha-ha! Do you think we'll go in a rocket?

0:06:590:07:04

-ALL:

-Ooh!

0:07:040:07:05

This is the National Space Centre in Leicester

0:07:080:07:11

and it's full of exciting space things. Look at this.

0:07:110:07:15

-Two real rockets.

-They're really, really big.

0:07:160:07:20

I know. And guess what?

0:07:200:07:22

We get to go all the way up there

0:07:220:07:24

to see for ourselves just how huge they are.

0:07:240:07:27

-LUKE:

-Whoa! It's so big, I can't even see it all at once.

0:07:270:07:31

Let's go, explorers.

0:07:310:07:34

Rocket!

0:07:430:07:46

There's the top!

0:07:550:07:57

-Look how high we are. What do you think, explorers?

-It's amazing.

0:08:030:08:07

-What's inside the rocket, Nina?

-Come with me and I'll show you.

0:08:070:08:14

This is what it's like inside for the astronauts.

0:08:140:08:17

Astronauts are the people who control the rocket,

0:08:170:08:20

like a pilot in an airplane or a driver in a car.

0:08:200:08:23

And this is where they sit for the long journey into space.

0:08:230:08:28

-Oh, it's tiny, isn't it?

-BOTH:

-Yes.

0:08:280:08:30

Let's see if we can squeeze ourselves inside, come on. Ho-ho-ho!

0:08:300:08:35

Oh, one at a time. Ooh, here we go. Ooh-ho-ho!

0:08:350:08:39

-Oh, it's not very comfortable, is it?

-Uh-uh.

-No.

0:08:390:08:43

The astronauts must have been really

0:08:430:08:45

squashed in here during their flight.

0:08:450:08:47

Why didn't they have more room?

0:08:470:08:50

Space rockets are huge.

0:08:500:08:51

Well, there's a very important reason for that.

0:08:510:08:54

Let's climb out and I'll explain.

0:08:540:08:57

Do you remember earlier we found out how rockets get into space?

0:09:000:09:04

Gas! I remember. The gas whooshes out.

0:09:040:09:07

That's right, Belle, the gas whooshes out the bottom

0:09:070:09:11

and pushes the rocket up into the air.

0:09:110:09:13

But to make the gas whoosh out, the rocket needs to burn fuel.

0:09:130:09:18

-ALL:

-Fuel!

-A car burns fuel, like petrol or diesel,

0:09:180:09:22

to make it go, and a rocket burns rocket fuel

0:09:220:09:24

to make the gas whoosh out of the bottom

0:09:240:09:27

and push the rocket up into the air.

0:09:270:09:29

It must take a lot of fuel to get all the way into space.

0:09:290:09:32

It does, Ollie, that's what takes up all this space.

0:09:320:09:36

Do you remember the launch that we watched?

0:09:360:09:38

Well, rockets go really, really fast, so I think we need to do

0:09:380:09:42

another experiment to find out how rockets go so fast.

0:09:420:09:46

Let's go, explorers.

0:09:460:09:48

Now, here we have a water spray. Let me just check it works.

0:09:490:09:53

Oh! Oh, I don't want to get you wet!

0:09:530:09:56

Now, have you ever noticed the twiddly bit on the end of a spray?

0:09:560:10:00

It's got two different holes -

0:10:000:10:02

one's wide and there's a smaller, narrow one.

0:10:020:10:05

So I'm going to make sure it's on the wide one.

0:10:050:10:08

And can I ask you to hold your hands out? One hand.

0:10:080:10:11

That's it, one hand. Ooh!

0:10:110:10:14

-How did that feel?

-Soft.

0:10:140:10:17

Yeah. The water spreads out like a mist.

0:10:170:10:20

So now, let me just change the setting to the small hole.

0:10:200:10:23

Can you put your hands out again? Here we go.

0:10:230:10:27

-How did that feel that time?

-It's harder.

-Yes.

0:10:270:10:31

The small hole makes the water come out in a narrow jet

0:10:310:10:34

and it feels harder,

0:10:340:10:35

and that's just like a rocket.

0:10:350:10:37

The smaller the hole the gas comes out of,

0:10:370:10:40

the harder the push.

0:10:400:10:42

-And a hard push makes a rocket go...

-BOTH:

-Fast!

-Exactly.

0:10:420:10:46

Now, explorers, come this way.

0:10:460:10:49

-This is Russ, the rocket expert.

-BOTH:

-Hi, Russ.

-Hi.

0:10:490:10:53

And Russ is going to launch a real rocket for us.

0:10:530:10:56

It's a small one because it's not going all the way to space,

0:10:560:11:00

but it's just like the big ones at the Space Centre.

0:11:000:11:03

And we're behind the safety barrier here,

0:11:030:11:06

just to make sure we're a safe distance away.

0:11:060:11:08

Russ, the rocket man, has special training.

0:11:080:11:12

-Ready, Nina?

-Yes!

0:11:120:11:15

-Shall we start the countdown?

-ALL:

-Five, four, three, two, one.

0:11:150:11:22

-It's so high!

-Ha-ha!

0:11:260:11:29

Wow! Look at that.

0:11:290:11:31

A small hole gave it a really strong push up in the air.

0:11:310:11:35

And it goes super fast. Wey-hey! Zoom!

0:11:350:11:38

That was fantastic. Rockets are brilliant, aren't they?

0:11:420:11:46

-BOTH:

-Yes!

-Thanks, Russ.

0:11:460:11:48

# Nina and the neurons. #

0:11:480:11:52

So, your question was - how do space rockets work?

0:11:520:11:56

And I think we've answered it.

0:11:560:11:58

When the gas whooshes out of the balloon,

0:11:580:12:01

or the bottom of a rocket, it goes up in the air. Whoosh!

0:12:010:12:06

It was so exciting to see the real space rockets.

0:12:060:12:09

They need a lot of space for fuel.

0:12:090:12:12

All that fuel gives the rocket a super big push to take it high,

0:12:120:12:16

high up into space. Zoom! Whoo-hoo!

0:12:160:12:22

I loved feeling the water. The squirty bottles were fun.

0:12:220:12:27

And that was why the rocket that Russ launched went so fast.

0:12:270:12:31

I loved seeing the rocket go zooming up.

0:12:310:12:34

So, I hope that's answered your question.

0:12:340:12:37

-BOTH:

-Thanks, Nina. Bye!

0:12:370:12:39

You're welcome. Bye.

0:12:390:12:41

If you want to know more about the science that's all around us,

0:12:440:12:48

go to the Nina section on the CBeebies website. Have fun.

Exploring is about looking at the world around us,

0:13:490:13:53

asking why and finding out the answer.

0:13:530:13:55

Whether it's deep underground, at the end of your playground,

0:13:550:13:59

or up above the clouds, let's keep exploring our exciting world.
