# Doo-dah doo. #

0:00:570:00:59

Oh, hello!

0:00:590:01:00

I'm cleaning up after an experiment.

0:01:000:01:02

Do you like my fancy gloves?

0:01:020:01:05

My fingers like to be well-dressed when washing up.

0:01:050:01:09

And my little rubber friends keep my hands dry.

0:01:090:01:12

-BEEPING

-Oh!

0:01:120:01:15

I hear a beep, I see a flash.

0:01:150:01:17

I wonder what they're going to ask?

0:01:170:01:19

-CHILDREN: Hi, Nina!

-Hi, guys!

0:01:240:01:27

-We've got a question for you.

-Why do our fingers go wrinkly in the bath?

0:01:270:01:32

That's a great question! Why do our fingers go wrinkly in the bath?

0:01:320:01:36

That happens to me too, but my fingers and toes go wrinkly.

0:01:360:01:41

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

0:01:410:01:45

CHILDREN: See you soon, Nina! Bye!

0:01:450:01:48

Bye!

0:01:480:01:49

Well, I'm going to need help to answer this one

0:01:490:01:52

and I know just who to ask.

0:01:520:01:54

OK, Neurons, time to get to work!

0:01:540:01:56

-ALL:

-Neurons at the ready, Nina.

0:02:120:02:15

OK. Today's question is, why do our fingers go wrinkly in the bath?

0:02:150:02:19

Which Neuron will be most useful to help find the answer?

0:02:190:02:23

-ALL:

-Me! Me! Me! Oh, me!

0:02:230:02:26

Will it be fabulous Felix?

0:02:260:02:29

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

0:02:290:02:32

Will it be beautiful Belle?

0:02:320:02:34

I send messages to brain from ear. If there's a sound, I'll help you hear.

0:02:340:02:39

Will it be lovely Luke?

0:02:390:02:41

For looking and seeing, day or night,

0:02:410:02:43

I'll help you with your sense of sight.

0:02:430:02:46

Will it be awesome Ollie?

0:02:460:02:48

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

0:02:480:02:50

-my messages help your sense of smell.

-Or will it be baby Bud?

0:02:500:02:54

Sour, salty, bitter or sweet, I'm your taste buddy whenever you eat!

0:02:540:02:59

It's Felix!

0:03:030:03:05

CHEERING

0:03:050:03:06

-ALL:

-Go, Felix! Go, Felix! Go, Felix! Go, Felix!

0:03:060:03:10

Go, Felix! Go, Felix!

0:03:100:03:12

Go, Felix!

0:03:120:03:14

Marvellous. A little touch can mean so much, Nina.

0:03:140:03:18

Today's question is, why do our fingers go wrinkly in the bath?

0:03:180:03:22

We use our fingers to touch and feel,

0:03:220:03:25

so I'll be relying on Felix the touch Neuron to help.

0:03:250:03:28

But stand by, Neurons, I may need help from all of you.

0:03:280:03:32

I need to get organised, the experimenters will be here soon!

0:03:320:03:36

Florence loves writing stories, her friend Levi loves pasta,

0:03:380:03:43

but both want to find out about wrinkly fingers.

0:03:430:03:46

So today, for one day only, Florence and Levi become...

0:03:460:03:50

the experimenters!

0:03:500:03:51

-Hi, guys!

-TOGETHER: Hi, Nina!

0:03:510:03:55

Welcome to my science lab, come in, come in!

0:03:550:04:00

Now, your question is, why do our fingers go wrinkly in the bath?

0:04:000:04:05

So, why do you want to know that?

0:04:050:04:07

Because whenever I have a bath, my fingers go all wrinkly

0:04:070:04:11

and I want to know why.

0:04:110:04:13

Huh! Well, my fingers and toes go wrinkly in the bath too,

0:04:130:04:17

so this is a great question. On our first experiment

0:04:170:04:21

we're going to be using our senses!

0:04:210:04:23

-ALL:

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

0:04:230:04:28

The first thing we should do is have a look at our fingertips,

0:04:280:04:32

so let's see your fingers.

0:04:320:04:34

OK, how do they look?

0:04:340:04:36

Not wrinkly.

0:04:360:04:37

They don't look wrinkly. What do they look like, Levi?

0:04:370:04:41

Normal fingers.

0:04:410:04:43

Just normal fingers, yeah.

0:04:430:04:45

-Let's rub our fingers together, how do they feel?

-Warm.

0:04:450:04:49

-Warm and sweaty.

-Are they a bit sweaty?

0:04:490:04:52

Yeah, they feel warm. Mine feel a bit dry, actually.

0:04:520:04:56

Great! So, do any of your fingers feel or look wrinkly at the moment?

0:04:560:05:01

CHILDREN: No.

0:05:010:05:02

OK, so you want to know why your fingers go wrinkly in the bath.

0:05:020:05:07

Now, your bath is full of warm water, and so is my sink!

0:05:070:05:12

Let's soak our hands in the water and see what happens.

0:05:120:05:16

We can play with these toys too!

0:05:160:05:18

Let's put all of them in.

0:05:200:05:22

# Boop-boop! #

0:05:270:05:28

-SQUIRT!

-Oh! Hello!

0:05:280:05:30

Nina, looks like you're having a great time,

0:05:420:05:45

but how are the fingers looking?

0:05:450:05:47

Oh! Thanks for reminding me, Luke!

0:05:470:05:50

I'm having so much fun, I almost forgot it was an experiment!

0:05:500:05:54

OK, so hands up, guys!

0:05:540:05:57

Oh, mine are definitely wrinkly, look at that!

0:05:570:06:00

-What about yours, Florence?

-They're really bumpy.

-Really wrinkly.

0:06:000:06:06

So our fingers were soft and smooth,

0:06:060:06:09

and after we've taken them out the water, they've gone wrinkly!

0:06:090:06:13

We know the water must have made our fingers go wrinkly!

0:06:130:06:17

But we don't know why. Time for another experiment!

0:06:170:06:21

OK, guys.

0:06:230:06:24

Now, in this experiment, we're also using water,

0:06:240:06:28

but our hands will stay nice and dry.

0:06:280:06:30

These are soil pellets.

0:06:300:06:33

-What's that Nina's using?

-They're soil pellets, Bud.

0:06:330:06:37

They're a bit like the mud you get in plant pots.

0:06:370:06:41

Watch carefully to see what happens when I add some water.

0:06:410:06:44

Ew!

0:06:550:06:56

That's amazing! It looks like the pellet is growing.

0:06:560:07:01

-What can you see?

-TOGETHER: They've grown!

0:07:020:07:05

Yeah! The soil pellet is a bit like a bath sponge,

0:07:050:07:10

it's soaked up the water.

0:07:100:07:11

In science, when materials do that, we say they absorb water.

0:07:110:07:16

And when things absorb water, they get bigger.

0:07:160:07:19

Some animals, like frogs, they absorb water all over their bodies!

0:07:190:07:23

That's how they drink!

0:07:230:07:25

Did Nina say frogs? I LOVE frogs!

0:07:250:07:28

Boing! Boing! Boing! Boing! Boing!

0:07:280:07:32

Hmm, as I was saying, when our fingertips and toes get wet,

0:07:320:07:36

they absorb water, just like a frog, and get a tiny bit bigger!

0:07:360:07:41

But what does this have to do with wrinkles?

0:07:410:07:45

We need to find out more and I know just the place to go!

0:07:450:07:48

Let's go, experimenters! This way!

0:07:480:07:51

Off we go for another adventure.

0:07:570:08:00

Nina said it's somewhere we can find out more about wrinkles.

0:08:000:08:04

Maybe it's the zoo!

0:08:040:08:06

Elephants have got lots of wrinkles!

0:08:060:08:09

Looks like we're here!

0:08:090:08:12

This is a school for people who want to perform in a circus,

0:08:120:08:16

like jugglers, acrobats and clowns.

0:08:160:08:19

-Can you guess why we're here?

-TOGETHER: No, Nina!

0:08:190:08:23

This place is perfect to find clown outfits

0:08:230:08:26

and that's what we need for this experiment!

0:08:260:08:29

Oh! Circus? Clowns? Dressing up? Yippee!

0:08:300:08:36

OK! I think that's enough clowning around.

0:09:030:09:06

Ha-ha! How do the costumes make you feel?

0:09:060:09:09

I like all the colours, but the costume's far too big!

0:09:090:09:13

And the clothes are very baggy.

0:09:130:09:16

-The trousers are bunched up around my ankles.

-Yes, you're right.

0:09:160:09:21

Because the costumes are too big, the material's gone all wrinkly.

0:09:210:09:25

How do your normal clothes feel now?

0:09:280:09:30

They fit properly.

0:09:300:09:31

Yes, our own clothes are a perfect fit, look...

0:09:310:09:35

no wrinkles.

0:09:350:09:37

So far we've found out

0:09:370:09:38

that when some things get wet they absorb water,

0:09:380:09:42

and when they absorb water they get bigger.

0:09:420:09:45

And we've found that when we wear clothes that are too big for us,

0:09:450:09:49

they go wrinkly.

0:09:490:09:50

So...could it be that our fingers go wrinkly in the bath

0:09:500:09:54

because they've got bigger?

0:09:540:09:56

I know an experiment that should help us find out.

0:09:560:10:00

Let's go back to the lab!

0:10:000:10:02

OK, first, we're going to cut out the oval shape

0:10:040:10:08

on these pieces of paper. OK?

0:10:080:10:10

Off you go!

0:10:100:10:11

Now, do be careful and watch those fingers!

0:10:140:10:17

Scissors can be very sharp.

0:10:170:10:20

Thanks, Felix.

0:10:200:10:21

Ooh, I love the sound of scissors. Snip, snip, snip!

0:10:270:10:32

Brilliant! We're going to place our oval pieces of paper

0:10:390:10:42

on top of our fingertips. So, Florence, you come round.

0:10:420:10:46

Pick your best oval. Put yours there.

0:10:460:10:49

Levi, you can put yours there.

0:10:490:10:51

And give it a little push in,

0:10:510:10:53

so it sits nice and flat.

0:10:530:10:56

Brilliant. I'm giving you a beaker with a little bit of water each.

0:10:560:11:01

Levi, that's for you. Florence, one for you.

0:11:010:11:04

Carefully, guys, we're going to pour a little water

0:11:040:11:07

onto your fingertip. Now, watch closely for any changes, OK?

0:11:070:11:12

That's good...

0:11:130:11:15

Something's happening! The paper's changing shape!

0:11:150:11:19

What's happened to the paper?

0:11:190:11:21

It's gone a little bit bumpy and soggy as well.

0:11:210:11:27

-Would you say they've gone a bit wrinkly?

-Mm-hm.

0:11:270:11:30

The paper has soaked up some water and turned wrinkly,

0:11:300:11:34

because absorbing the water has made the paper get bigger.

0:11:340:11:38

So this bit of paper is now too big to fit in the hollow,

0:11:380:11:42

so it's had to wrinkle up, like the skin on our fingertips does!

0:11:420:11:47

So your question was, why do our fingers go wrinkly in the bath?

0:11:490:11:53

And we've answered it!

0:11:530:11:55

We discovered some things absorb water

0:11:550:11:58

and that makes them get bigger.

0:11:580:12:00

When things are too big, like clown costumes, they go all wrinkly.

0:12:000:12:04

And in the bath, the skin on the tips of our fingers absorbs water

0:12:040:12:08

and gets bigger.

0:12:080:12:10

Because our fingers stay the same size,

0:12:100:12:13

when the skin gets too big,

0:12:130:12:15

it goes all wrinkly.

0:12:150:12:17

But not to worry, because when it dries out,

0:12:170:12:20

the wrinkles all disappear.

0:12:200:12:22

I hope that answers your question.

0:12:220:12:24

-CHILDREN: Thanks, Nina! Bye!

-Bye!

0:12:240:12:27

It's been a marvellous day -

0:13:250:13:26

all that touching and feeling to explore our fingertips.

0:13:260:13:31

Oh, I've had a brilliant day - hearing all those great water noises!

0:13:310:13:36

Splish-splash!

0:13:360:13:38

I really enjoyed myself today -

0:13:380:13:40

those soil pellets had a great earthy smell.

0:13:400:13:43

I've had a fabby day!

0:13:430:13:46

Especially the dressing up! Oh, that was so funny! Ha-ha-ha!

0:13:460:13:52

Ah, it's been such a great day, man.

0:13:520:13:55

Seeing the paper wrinkle up, just like Nina's fingertips.

0:13:550:13:59

Amazing!

0:13:590:14:01

Our day's been bursting with experiments.

0:14:010:14:04

I hope you've enjoyed it. See you soon, bye!

0:14:040:14:06

ALL: Bye!
