0:00:05 > 0:00:08# If you've got a question and you don't know where to go
0:00:08 > 0:00:11# Ask Nina for some help, cos she's got a science show
0:00:11 > 0:00:14# She makes sense of her senses While helping all her fans
0:00:14 > 0:00:17# By doing her experiments with potions and with bangs
0:00:17 > 0:00:19- # Touch your tongue - Tongue!

0:00:20 > 0:00:23- # Eyes.- Eyes! - Ears.- Ears!- Nose.- Nose!

0:01:05 > 0:01:07# Oh yeah! #
0:01:08 > 0:01:12I've got to go Mum. OK, I'll speak to you soon. Bye.
0:01:13 > 0:01:18Hi. I'm sorry about that. But thanks for getting everything set up.
0:01:18 > 0:01:19No problem.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21- Shall we give it a go?- Let's do it.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26This exhibit is called the Whispering Dishes
0:01:26 > 0:01:30and it lets you talk to someone far away without having to shout.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33Did you hear that, Gaby?
0:01:33 > 0:01:34What?
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Did you hear that, Gaby?
0:01:36 > 0:01:38No.
0:01:38 > 0:01:39Excellent.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42Now, let's try the Whispering Dishes.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46These dishes are shaped so that even if you just whisper
0:01:46 > 0:01:49you can be easily heard at the other dish.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51(Can you hear me, Gaby?)
0:01:51 > 0:01:54- Loud and clear, Nina. Can you hear me?- Yes, I can.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Perfectly!
0:01:56 > 0:02:00- Thank you very much for setting up today. Bye!- OK. Bye!
0:02:00 > 0:02:03If someone talks in the right position,
0:02:03 > 0:02:06the sound of their voice is bounced off this dish
0:02:06 > 0:02:10all the way over to the dish at the other end.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14- You can also do it the other way round.- (Hello, Nina.)- Hello.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17- Who's there?- Nina, it's me -
0:02:17 > 0:02:19your mum. I'm over here.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Mum?
0:02:21 > 0:02:22Where are you?
0:02:22 > 0:02:25I'm in your bag, silly.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28- You won't fit in my bag! - I'm still on the phone.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31You forgot to hang up when you put it away.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34Oh! Of course!
0:02:34 > 0:02:38The phone is still in the bag. And I left the bag at the other dish.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42And because of the dishes, I can hear Mum from over here.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44That's amazing.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48Nina, are you still listening to me? Are you still there?
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Thanks, Mum. You've just helped with an experiment.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53- Bye!- Bye.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57- BEEP-BEEP - Sounds like someone else is calling.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59I'd better go and check it out.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04I hear a beep, I see a flash
0:03:04 > 0:03:06I wonder what they're going to ask.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14I'm Eve. I want to find out my mum's secret.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17I'm nosey. I can't stand not knowing a secret.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19I'll be round soon to help.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22- See you soon.- Bye.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27We need help to answer this one. I know just who to ask.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30OK, Neurons, time to get to work.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48Neurons at the ready, Nina.
0:03:48 > 0:03:53OK, the question from Eve is, "How can I find out my mum's secret?"
0:03:53 > 0:03:58- Which Neuron will be most useful in helping us find the answer?- ALL: Me!
0:03:58 > 0:04:02Will it be Fabulous Felix?
0:04:02 > 0:04:06I can help so very much if you need the sense of touch.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Will it be Beautiful Belle?
0:04:08 > 0:04:10I send messages brain to ear,
0:04:10 > 0:04:13if there's a sound, I'll help you hear.
0:04:13 > 0:04:14Will it be Lovely Luke?
0:04:14 > 0:04:16By looking day or night,
0:04:16 > 0:04:19I'll help you with your sense of sight.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Will it be Awesome Ollie?
0:04:21 > 0:04:24If it's pongy or whiffy but you can't tell,
0:04:24 > 0:04:26my messages help your sense of smell.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Or will it be Baby Bud?
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Sour, salty, bitter or sweet,
0:04:30 > 0:04:33I'm your taste buddy whenever you eat.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39It's Belle!
0:04:39 > 0:04:46OTHERS: Go Belle! Go Belle! Go Belle! Go Belle! Go Belle! Go Belle!
0:04:46 > 0:04:50Brilliant. I'm all ears, Nina.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Belle will be helping us out today.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58OK, then. Let's go.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21Meet Eve, her brother Jay, their mum, dad and gran.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24They're a regular family from Falkirk,
0:05:24 > 0:05:29but today they are the Experimenters!
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Sshh!
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Oh, you must be Eve's mum?
0:05:37 > 0:05:40I hear you've got a secret.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43Yes, I'm planning a little surprise for Eve.
0:05:43 > 0:05:47- She's got to find out what it is. - Oh, I see! Like a game?
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Oh, well, I'll go and find Eve, then.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51- Sshh!- Sshh!
0:05:56 > 0:06:00Oh! It's you, Eve! Oh, you gave me such a surprise!
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Oh, and you're going to be getting a surprise too.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07Your mum is planning something. She wants us to find out what.
0:06:07 > 0:06:12Shall we find out what she's up to? Yeah? Remember - sshh! Let's go.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20Yeah, so we're planning a little surprise for Eve.
0:06:20 > 0:06:21She doesn't know...
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Let's have a listen.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26(I've got some cakes ordered.)
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Can you hear what she's saying?
0:06:29 > 0:06:31(Yeah, Gran's coming.)
0:06:31 > 0:06:35I think we're going to have to think of a way to hear better.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39Oh! Oh, I've thought of an experiment.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Ready, Belle?
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Oh, it's my big moment!
0:06:46 > 0:06:50Standing by. Ready to send lots of messages.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55OK, everyone, we're going to try talking to each other
0:06:55 > 0:06:57from across the garden,
0:06:57 > 0:07:00but we're going to talk quietly, OK?
0:07:00 > 0:07:04So, Dad, go across the other side of the garden and we'll wait here.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07- Come on, Jay.- Going as well, Jay?
0:07:07 > 0:07:10We're going to do some good listening.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14Dad, can you tell us what you had for breakfast this morning?
0:07:14 > 0:07:18Do it quietly and we'll listen and see if we can hear.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22- Off you go.- (I had some tea, some toast...)
0:07:26 > 0:07:30Oh, I wish we could hear him! He's talking about food.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33That's my favourite subject.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36- Could you hear him?- No.- No.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Hmm? Right, Eve, why don't you have a go?
0:07:39 > 0:07:43(I had some cornflakes and a drink of orange juice.)
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Could you hear that, Dad?
0:07:45 > 0:07:46No.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50- What was that?- No.- Oh! Do you see what I did there?
0:07:50 > 0:07:53I put my hand to my ear so I could hear better.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56Ah! It's because your dad's so far away,
0:07:56 > 0:08:00there isn't enough sound getting to our ears.
0:08:00 > 0:08:01If I cup my hand to my ear,
0:08:01 > 0:08:05it's like making my ear bigger, so it catches more sound.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08We'll try that as an experiment.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11Dad, can you tell us about your favourite dinner?
0:08:11 > 0:08:16Now, let's cup our hands to our ears to see if we can hear better.
0:08:16 > 0:08:21I'm going to have a nice mushroom pizza with lots of cheese on top.
0:08:21 > 0:08:22Oh, that's brilliant.
0:08:22 > 0:08:27Now take your hand away from your ears, so we can hear the difference.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31..big, fat chips, and a nice big...
0:08:31 > 0:08:33SILENCE
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Oh, that works really well!
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Do you hear the difference?
0:08:37 > 0:08:42You can hear so much better with your hand cupping your ear.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45It's like making the ears bigger to hear with.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49That means we've found another way to find out what Mum's secret is.
0:08:49 > 0:08:54- We can use this. Shall we go and give it a go?- Yes!- Let's go inside.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58So once Eve has worked out what the surprise is...
0:08:58 > 0:09:01- I can hear her better now. Can you?- Yes.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Has she said what it is?
0:09:03 > 0:09:05I hope it's food!
0:09:05 > 0:09:09Sshh! Quiet, Bud. I'm listening.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11We'll get ready to play the games.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14She's talking about playing games!
0:09:15 > 0:09:19- I think she might have spotted us. - Oh, no!- Oh, no!
0:09:21 > 0:09:25Your question was - how can I find out my mum's secret?
0:09:25 > 0:09:27So we tried listening to your mum.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31You could hear better if you cup your hand to your ear.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34- But she saw us.- Yes, she did see us.
0:09:34 > 0:09:38I think we'll have to try another experiment.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42- We could try another room. - My bedroom.- Your bedroom?
0:09:42 > 0:09:47We'll go to your bedroom and do another experiment to hear your mum.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51Yay, Nina! I'll help you hear loud and clear.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54You may recognise this from your local doctor's.
0:09:54 > 0:10:00It's called a stethoscope. You put this end into your ears, like that,
0:10:00 > 0:10:06and this end goes onto your chest, and you can hear your heart beating.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08Good. It's still working.
0:10:08 > 0:10:13Just how we can hear your chest, we can hear through the wall,
0:10:13 > 0:10:18so I'm going to use a stethoscope to listen through the wall.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21You can try listening through this.
0:10:21 > 0:10:25This mug works like the stethoscope. It will work.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28Will we hear anything through that mug?
0:10:28 > 0:10:30We're about to find out.
0:10:30 > 0:10:35Let's press them to the wall and see if we can hear anything.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Everything's ready and waiting on the table.
0:10:42 > 0:10:47- I'm just waiting for Eve. - Can you hear your mum?- Yeah.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49That's amazing.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51You can hear through the wall.
0:10:51 > 0:10:56- It's going to be good fun... - I can hear her really well.- Me too!
0:10:56 > 0:10:58..and sausage rolls...
0:10:58 > 0:11:00Did she say "sausage rolls"?
0:11:00 > 0:11:02I love sausage rolls!
0:11:02 > 0:11:05I can't wait for this surprise.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12So, Eve, you wanted to know what your mum's secret was.
0:11:12 > 0:11:17We found out you can hear better by cupping your hands to your ears.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20We can hear through solid things like walls,
0:11:20 > 0:11:24and if you press a mug to them, you can hear even better.
0:11:24 > 0:11:28We found that your surprise is here on the table.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30Let's open it!
0:11:30 > 0:11:37Oh-h! There's food and music and balloons. That sounds like a party.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46Hurrah! We've finally got to the food.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49I'm ready for this.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53- We're going to play musical statues. Ready?- ALL: Yeah!
0:11:53 > 0:11:56Wow! Look at Eve dancing.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59What a groovy mover.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02When you play musical statues,
0:12:02 > 0:12:07you have to listen carefully so you can hear when the music...
0:12:07 > 0:12:08stops.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12Oh, Dad, you're so out!
0:12:17 > 0:12:19I wonder who'll be out this time.
0:12:20 > 0:12:25Oh, Mum, I just saw you twitching. Who's going to win?
0:12:26 > 0:12:28I think Eve will definitely win.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32Hmm! I don't know. Gran looks like a winner to me.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Oh, Gran, you moved!
0:12:36 > 0:12:38That means the winner is...
0:12:38 > 0:12:40Eve!
0:12:55 > 0:12:58# It's been a busy, busy day
0:12:58 > 0:13:01# Questions, answers, experiments done
0:13:01 > 0:13:04# We've all used our senses in so many ways
0:13:04 > 0:13:07# Neurons, what have you done today? #
0:13:07 > 0:13:11Well, I worked the hardest today.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14Everyone has had to listen carefully all day.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17I've never had so many messages to send.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19I was working hard too, you know.
0:13:19 > 0:13:24The ends of that stethoscope felt really odd in Nina's ears.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Yeah, I was pretty busy,
0:13:26 > 0:13:30when everyone was looking to see who moved in musical statues.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34Wowee! I've been a busy baby bud.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38I had something to do when the food and drinks came out.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40I was really busy.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43You can't taste well if you can't smell something.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53Well, that was great fun.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57I hope you've had a sensational time too. Bye!
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Bye!
