Oh, hello! | 0:00:59 | 0:01:00 | |
I'm cleaning up after an experiment. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:02 | |
Do you like my fancy gloves? | 0:01:02 | 0:01:05 | |
My fingers like to be well-dressed when washing up. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:09 | |
And my little rubber friends keep my hands dry. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:12 | |
-BEEPING -Oh! | 0:01:12 | 0:01:15 | |
I hear a beep, I see a flash. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:17 | |
I wonder what they're going to ask? | 0:01:17 | 0:01:19 | |
-CHILDREN: Hi, Nina! -Hi, guys! | 0:01:24 | 0:01:27 | |
-We've got a question for you. -Why do our fingers go wrinkly in the bath? | 0:01:27 | 0:01:32 | |
That's a great question! Why do our fingers go wrinkly in the bath? | 0:01:32 | 0:01:36 | |
That happens to me too, but my fingers and toes go wrinkly. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:41 | |
Why don't you come down to my lab and we'll investigate? | 0:01:41 | 0:01:45 | |
CHILDREN: See you soon, Nina! Bye! | 0:01:45 | 0:01:48 | |
Bye! | 0:01:48 | 0:01:49 | |
Well, I'm going to need help to answer this one | 0:01:49 | 0:01:52 | |
and I know just who to ask. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:54 | |
OK, Neurons, time to get to work! | 0:01:54 | 0:01:56 | |
-ALL: -Neurons at the ready, Nina. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:15 | |
OK. Today's question is, why do our fingers go wrinkly in the bath? | 0:02:15 | 0:02:19 | |
Which Neuron will be most useful to help find the answer? | 0:02:19 | 0:02:23 | |
-ALL: -Me! Me! Me! Oh, me! | 0:02:23 | 0:02:26 | |
Will it be fabulous Felix? | 0:02:26 | 0:02:29 | |
I can help so very much if you need the sense of touch. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:32 | |
Will it be beautiful Belle? | 0:02:32 | 0:02:34 | |
I send messages to brain from ear. If there's a sound, I'll help you hear. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:39 | |
Will it be lovely Luke? | 0:02:39 | 0:02:41 | |
For looking and seeing, day or night, | 0:02:41 | 0:02:43 | |
I'll help you with your sense of sight. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:46 | |
Will it be awesome Ollie? | 0:02:46 | 0:02:48 | |
If it's pongy or whiffy but you can't tell, | 0:02:48 | 0:02:50 | |
-my messages help your sense of smell. -Or will it be baby Bud? | 0:02:50 | 0:02:54 | |
Sour, salty, bitter or sweet, I'm your taste buddy whenever you eat! | 0:02:54 | 0:02:59 | |
It's Felix! | 0:03:03 | 0:03:05 | |
CHEERING | 0:03:05 | 0:03:06 | |
-ALL: -Go, Felix! Go, Felix! Go, Felix! Go, Felix! | 0:03:06 | 0:03:10 | |
Go, Felix! Go, Felix! | 0:03:10 | 0:03:12 | |
Go, Felix! | 0:03:12 | 0:03:14 | |
Marvellous. A little touch can mean so much, Nina. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:18 | |
Today's question is, why do our fingers go wrinkly in the bath? | 0:03:18 | 0:03:22 | |
We use our fingers to touch and feel, | 0:03:22 | 0:03:25 | |
so I'll be relying on Felix the touch Neuron to help. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:28 | |
But stand by, Neurons, I may need help from all of you. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:32 | |
I need to get organised, the experimenters will be here soon! | 0:03:32 | 0:03:36 | |
Florence loves writing stories, her friend Levi loves pasta, | 0:03:38 | 0:03:43 | |
but both want to find out about wrinkly fingers. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:46 | |
So today, for one day only, Florence and Levi become... | 0:03:46 | 0:03:50 | |
the experimenters! | 0:03:50 | 0:03:51 | |
-Hi, guys! -TOGETHER: Hi, Nina! | 0:03:51 | 0:03:55 | |
Welcome to my science lab, come in, come in! | 0:03:55 | 0:04:00 | |
Now, your question is, why do our fingers go wrinkly in the bath? | 0:04:00 | 0:04:05 | |
So, why do you want to know that? | 0:04:05 | 0:04:07 | |
Because whenever I have a bath, my fingers go all wrinkly | 0:04:07 | 0:04:11 | |
and I want to know why. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:13 | |
Huh! Well, my fingers and toes go wrinkly in the bath too, | 0:04:13 | 0:04:17 | |
so this is a great question. On our first experiment | 0:04:17 | 0:04:21 | |
we're going to be using our senses! | 0:04:21 | 0:04:23 | |
-ALL: -Woo-hoo! A senses experiment! We're ready, Nina! | 0:04:23 | 0:04:28 | |
The first thing we should do is have a look at our fingertips, | 0:04:28 | 0:04:32 | |
so let's see your fingers. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:34 | |
OK, how do they look? | 0:04:34 | 0:04:36 | |
Not wrinkly. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:37 | |
They don't look wrinkly. What do they look like, Levi? | 0:04:37 | 0:04:41 | |
Normal fingers. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:43 | |
Just normal fingers, yeah. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:45 | |
-Let's rub our fingers together, how do they feel? -Warm. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:49 | |
-Warm and sweaty. -Are they a bit sweaty? | 0:04:49 | 0:04:52 | |
Yeah, they feel warm. Mine feel a bit dry, actually. | 0:04:52 | 0:04:56 | |
Great! So, do any of your fingers feel or look wrinkly at the moment? | 0:04:56 | 0:05:01 | |
CHILDREN: No. | 0:05:01 | 0:05:02 | |
OK, so you want to know why your fingers go wrinkly in the bath. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:07 | |
Now, your bath is full of warm water, and so is my sink! | 0:05:07 | 0:05:12 | |
Let's soak our hands in the water and see what happens. | 0:05:12 | 0:05:16 | |
We can play with these toys too! | 0:05:16 | 0:05:18 | |
Let's put all of them in. | 0:05:20 | 0:05:22 | |
# Boop-boop! # | 0:05:27 | 0:05:28 | |
-SQUIRT! -Oh! Hello! | 0:05:28 | 0:05:30 | |
Nina, looks like you're having a great time, | 0:05:42 | 0:05:45 | |
but how are the fingers looking? | 0:05:45 | 0:05:47 | |
Oh! Thanks for reminding me, Luke! | 0:05:47 | 0:05:50 | |
I'm having so much fun, I almost forgot it was an experiment! | 0:05:50 | 0:05:54 | |
OK, so hands up, guys! | 0:05:54 | 0:05:57 | |
Oh, mine are definitely wrinkly, look at that! | 0:05:57 | 0:06:00 | |
-What about yours, Florence? -They're really bumpy. -Really wrinkly. | 0:06:00 | 0:06:06 | |
So our fingers were soft and smooth, | 0:06:06 | 0:06:09 | |
and after we've taken them out the water, they've gone wrinkly! | 0:06:09 | 0:06:13 | |
We know the water must have made our fingers go wrinkly! | 0:06:13 | 0:06:17 | |
But we don't know why. Time for another experiment! | 0:06:17 | 0:06:21 | |
OK, guys. | 0:06:23 | 0:06:24 | |
Now, in this experiment, we're also using water, | 0:06:24 | 0:06:28 | |
but our hands will stay nice and dry. | 0:06:28 | 0:06:30 | |
These are soil pellets. | 0:06:30 | 0:06:33 | |
-What's that Nina's using? -They're soil pellets, Bud. | 0:06:33 | 0:06:37 | |
They're a bit like the mud you get in plant pots. | 0:06:37 | 0:06:41 | |
Watch carefully to see what happens when I add some water. | 0:06:41 | 0:06:44 | |
Ew! | 0:06:55 | 0:06:56 | |
That's amazing! It looks like the pellet is growing. | 0:06:56 | 0:07:01 | |
-What can you see? -TOGETHER: They've grown! | 0:07:02 | 0:07:05 | |
Yeah! The soil pellet is a bit like a bath sponge, | 0:07:05 | 0:07:10 | |
it's soaked up the water. | 0:07:10 | 0:07:11 | |
In science, when materials do that, we say they absorb water. | 0:07:11 | 0:07:16 | |
And when things absorb water, they get bigger. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:19 | |
Some animals, like frogs, they absorb water all over their bodies! | 0:07:19 | 0:07:23 | |
That's how they drink! | 0:07:23 | 0:07:25 | |
Did Nina say frogs? I LOVE frogs! | 0:07:25 | 0:07:28 | |
Boing! Boing! Boing! Boing! Boing! | 0:07:28 | 0:07:32 | |
Hmm, as I was saying, when our fingertips and toes get wet, | 0:07:32 | 0:07:36 | |
they absorb water, just like a frog, and get a tiny bit bigger! | 0:07:36 | 0:07:41 | |
But what does this have to do with wrinkles? | 0:07:41 | 0:07:45 | |
We need to find out more and I know just the place to go! | 0:07:45 | 0:07:48 | |
Let's go, experimenters! This way! | 0:07:48 | 0:07:51 | |
Off we go for another adventure. | 0:07:57 | 0:08:00 | |
Nina said it's somewhere we can find out more about wrinkles. | 0:08:00 | 0:08:04 | |
Maybe it's the zoo! | 0:08:04 | 0:08:06 | |
Elephants have got lots of wrinkles! | 0:08:06 | 0:08:09 | |
Looks like we're here! | 0:08:09 | 0:08:12 | |
This is a school for people who want to perform in a circus, | 0:08:12 | 0:08:16 | |
like jugglers, acrobats and clowns. | 0:08:16 | 0:08:19 | |
-Can you guess why we're here? -TOGETHER: No, Nina! | 0:08:19 | 0:08:23 | |
This place is perfect to find clown outfits | 0:08:23 | 0:08:26 | |
and that's what we need for this experiment! | 0:08:26 | 0:08:29 | |
Oh! Circus? Clowns? Dressing up? Yippee! | 0:08:30 | 0:08:36 | |
OK! I think that's enough clowning around. | 0:09:03 | 0:09:06 | |
Ha-ha! How do the costumes make you feel? | 0:09:06 | 0:09:09 | |
I like all the colours, but the costume's far too big! | 0:09:09 | 0:09:13 | |
And the clothes are very baggy. | 0:09:13 | 0:09:16 | |
-The trousers are bunched up around my ankles. -Yes, you're right. | 0:09:16 | 0:09:21 | |
Because the costumes are too big, the material's gone all wrinkly. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:25 | |
How do your normal clothes feel now? | 0:09:28 | 0:09:30 | |
They fit properly. | 0:09:30 | 0:09:31 | |
Yes, our own clothes are a perfect fit, look... | 0:09:31 | 0:09:35 | |
no wrinkles. | 0:09:35 | 0:09:37 | |
So far we've found out | 0:09:37 | 0:09:38 | |
that when some things get wet they absorb water, | 0:09:38 | 0:09:42 | |
and when they absorb water they get bigger. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:45 | |
And we've found that when we wear clothes that are too big for us, | 0:09:45 | 0:09:49 | |
they go wrinkly. | 0:09:49 | 0:09:50 | |
So...could it be that our fingers go wrinkly in the bath | 0:09:50 | 0:09:54 | |
because they've got bigger? | 0:09:54 | 0:09:56 | |
I know an experiment that should help us find out. | 0:09:56 | 0:10:00 | |
Let's go back to the lab! | 0:10:00 | 0:10:02 | |
OK, first, we're going to cut out the oval shape | 0:10:04 | 0:10:08 | |
on these pieces of paper. OK? | 0:10:08 | 0:10:10 | |
Off you go! | 0:10:10 | 0:10:11 | |
Now, do be careful and watch those fingers! | 0:10:14 | 0:10:17 | |
Scissors can be very sharp. | 0:10:17 | 0:10:20 | |
Thanks, Felix. | 0:10:20 | 0:10:21 | |
Ooh, I love the sound of scissors. Snip, snip, snip! | 0:10:27 | 0:10:32 | |
Brilliant! We're going to place our oval pieces of paper | 0:10:39 | 0:10:42 | |
on top of our fingertips. So, Florence, you come round. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:46 | |
Pick your best oval. Put yours there. | 0:10:46 | 0:10:49 | |
Levi, you can put yours there. | 0:10:49 | 0:10:51 | |
And give it a little push in, | 0:10:51 | 0:10:53 | |
so it sits nice and flat. | 0:10:53 | 0:10:56 | |
Brilliant. I'm giving you a beaker with a little bit of water each. | 0:10:56 | 0:11:01 | |
Levi, that's for you. Florence, one for you. | 0:11:01 | 0:11:04 | |
Carefully, guys, we're going to pour a little water | 0:11:04 | 0:11:07 | |
onto your fingertip. Now, watch closely for any changes, OK? | 0:11:07 | 0:11:12 | |
That's good... | 0:11:13 | 0:11:15 | |
Something's happening! The paper's changing shape! | 0:11:15 | 0:11:19 | |
What's happened to the paper? | 0:11:19 | 0:11:21 | |
It's gone a little bit bumpy and soggy as well. | 0:11:21 | 0:11:27 | |
-Would you say they've gone a bit wrinkly? -Mm-hm. | 0:11:27 | 0:11:30 | |
The paper has soaked up some water and turned wrinkly, | 0:11:30 | 0:11:34 | |
because absorbing the water has made the paper get bigger. | 0:11:34 | 0:11:38 | |
So this bit of paper is now too big to fit in the hollow, | 0:11:38 | 0:11:42 | |
so it's had to wrinkle up, like the skin on our fingertips does! | 0:11:42 | 0:11:47 | |
So your question was, why do our fingers go wrinkly in the bath? | 0:11:49 | 0:11:53 | |
And we've answered it! | 0:11:53 | 0:11:55 | |
We discovered some things absorb water | 0:11:55 | 0:11:58 | |
and that makes them get bigger. | 0:11:58 | 0:12:00 | |
When things are too big, like clown costumes, they go all wrinkly. | 0:12:00 | 0:12:04 | |
And in the bath, the skin on the tips of our fingers absorbs water | 0:12:04 | 0:12:08 | |
and gets bigger. | 0:12:08 | 0:12:10 | |
Because our fingers stay the same size, | 0:12:10 | 0:12:13 | |
when the skin gets too big, | 0:12:13 | 0:12:15 | |
it goes all wrinkly. | 0:12:15 | 0:12:17 | |
But not to worry, because when it dries out, | 0:12:17 | 0:12:20 | |
the wrinkles all disappear. | 0:12:20 | 0:12:22 | |
I hope that answers your question. | 0:12:22 | 0:12:24 | |
-CHILDREN: Thanks, Nina! Bye! -Bye! | 0:12:24 | 0:12:27 | |

It's been a marvellous day - | 0:13:25 | 0:13:26 | |
all that touching and feeling to explore our fingertips. | 0:13:26 | 0:13:31 | |
Oh, I've had a brilliant day - hearing all those great water noises! | 0:13:31 | 0:13:36 | |
Splish-splash! | 0:13:36 | 0:13:38 | |
I really enjoyed myself today - | 0:13:38 | 0:13:40 | |
those soil pellets had a great earthy smell. | 0:13:40 | 0:13:43 | |
I've had a fabby day! | 0:13:43 | 0:13:46 | |
Especially the dressing up! Oh, that was so funny! Ha-ha-ha! | 0:13:46 | 0:13:52 | |
Ah, it's been such a great day, man. | 0:13:52 | 0:13:55 | |
