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 our senses By helping 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!
0:00:19 > 0:00:21# Fingers!
0:00:21 > 0:00:22# Eyes! Ears!
0:00:22 > 0:00:23# Nose!

0:01:05 > 0:01:06# Oh, yeah! #
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Hello! I'm looking into the mirror,
0:01:11 > 0:01:15but they're not ordinary mirrors, they're great fun.
0:01:15 > 0:01:22Oh, I'm enormous! Oh, I'm blowing up like a balloon!
0:01:22 > 0:01:28But we can soon sort that out. If I just take a step to my right...
0:01:28 > 0:01:31I become all narrow!
0:01:31 > 0:01:34I'll be lucky if my trousers stay up.
0:01:34 > 0:01:39The reason this is happening is because of the shape of the mirrors.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43This mirror curves out the way, and makes me look narrow,
0:01:43 > 0:01:46but this mirror is the opposite.
0:01:47 > 0:01:52It curves in the way, and makes me look really wide.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55And it also works with height, as well.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59This mirror makes me look like I've shrunk,
0:01:59 > 0:02:03and that's because the mirror is curved towards me.
0:02:05 > 0:02:10Ah, wow! This makes me look really, really tall,
0:02:10 > 0:02:13because the mirror is curved away from me.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Almost looks like I've been stretched.
0:02:16 > 0:02:22Oh, sounds like I've got a question! I'd better go and see who it is.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26ALARM BEEPS
0:02:26 > 0:02:30I hear a beep, I see a flash. I wonder what they're going to ask?
0:02:33 > 0:02:38Hi, Nina. I'm William, and I've got a question to ask you.
0:02:38 > 0:02:45- Hi, what would you like to ask? - Does my granny really need glasses?
0:02:45 > 0:02:48I'd love to help answer your question.
0:02:48 > 0:02:53- Thanks, Nina. Bye!- Bye!
0:02:53 > 0:02:56I think we'll need some help to answer this one,
0:02:56 > 0:03:00and I know just who to ask. OK, Neurons, time to get to work.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18Neurons at the ready, Nina!
0:03:18 > 0:03:21William wants to know if his granny needs glasses.
0:03:21 > 0:03:26Which Neuron do you think would be most useful to help us?
0:03:26 > 0:03:29- Me!- Me!- Me!- Oh, me!
0:03:29 > 0:03:32Will it be Fabulous Felix?
0:03:32 > 0:03:36I can help so very much if you need the sense of touch.
0:03:36 > 0:03:37Will it be beautiful Belle?
0:03:37 > 0:03:42I send messages, brain to ear. If there's a sound, I'll help you hear.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44Will it be lovely Luke?
0:03:44 > 0:03:48For looking, day or night, I'll help you with your sense of sight!
0:03:48 > 0:03:51Will it be awesome Ollie?
0:03:51 > 0:03:55If it's pongy, but you can't tell, I can help your sense of smell.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57Or will it be Baby Bud?
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Sour, salty, bitter or sweet,
0:03:59 > 0:04:02I'm your taste buddy whenever you eat.
0:04:07 > 0:04:08It's Luke!
0:04:08 > 0:04:15Go Luke! Go Luke! Go Luke! Go Luke! Go Luke! Go Luke!
0:04:15 > 0:04:21Cool, Nina. I'll be looking out to help you!
0:04:21 > 0:04:23Glasses are used to help you see,
0:04:23 > 0:04:26so Luke, the sight neuron, will be busy today.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32OK then, let's go.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01In the town of Paisley lives William,
0:05:01 > 0:05:05his little brother Laurence, big brother Brian, Granny and his mum.
0:05:05 > 0:05:09For one day only, William and his family are...
0:05:10 > 0:05:13The Experimenters!
0:05:17 > 0:05:23- Hi, everyone.- Hi, Nina. - Ah, you must be William.- Yeah.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27- Now, your question was, "Does my granny need glasses?"- Yeah.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29So, Granny, do you need glasses?
0:05:29 > 0:05:35Well, I don't need them all of the time. Actually, I've just lost them.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39Well, we shall see if you DO need them in our experiment!
0:05:41 > 0:05:46OK. This experiment will show us, should Granny be wearing glasses?
0:05:46 > 0:05:47All of you can help us,
0:05:47 > 0:05:51and I'd like you to go to the other end of the garden,
0:05:51 > 0:05:53as far from me as possible.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55Can you do that? Brilliant.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58William, can you maybe go first? Lead the way.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00I'll get things set up here.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Oh! Granny, you too!
0:06:03 > 0:06:05How are you today, Luke?
0:06:10 > 0:06:16Oh, it's my big moment! Standing by, ready to send messages!
0:06:19 > 0:06:20Oh! Oh, sorry!
0:06:20 > 0:06:22- Are you OK, Granny?- Uh-huh.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26Right, is everyone ready?
0:06:26 > 0:06:29So, William, you're going to go first,
0:06:29 > 0:06:32and I'd like you to walk slowly towards me,
0:06:32 > 0:06:35and when you can see the picture clearly,
0:06:35 > 0:06:37stand still, and shout out what it is.
0:06:37 > 0:06:42All the pictures are different, so no helping each other,
0:06:42 > 0:06:44we don't want any cheaters.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48I'm going to turn the pictures round, and...
0:06:49 > 0:06:51William, off you go.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56It's an aeroplane!
0:06:56 > 0:07:00Fantastic! That's no problem for you.
0:07:00 > 0:07:05Why don't you step to the side. It's Laurie's turn. Brilliant.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07I'll change the picture.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Off you go.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13As soon as you can tell what it is, stop!
0:07:13 > 0:07:16- What do you think it is?- A boat.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Brilliant, fantastic!
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Again, you've got really good eyesight,
0:07:21 > 0:07:24so stand to the side, it's time for Mum.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27Are you ready? I'll change the picture.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30And off you go!
0:07:41 > 0:07:43It's a lorry.
0:07:43 > 0:07:49Brilliant, Mum. No trouble at all. Step to the side, that's fantastic.
0:07:49 > 0:07:50Brian, your turn.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55And, whenever you're ready, off you go.
0:08:00 > 0:08:01It's a helicopter.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05Excellent work. Brilliant. Thank you very much.
0:08:05 > 0:08:10Mum and Brian had to go closer to the picture than William and Laurie.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14I can't wait to see how Granny gets on without her glasses!
0:08:14 > 0:08:19Granny's turn! You ready, Granny? Let me just change this for you.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23And...off you go!
0:08:29 > 0:08:33- I think that's a dog. - Nearly, try again.
0:08:33 > 0:08:37No, it's a cat, I think.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39- Try again.- Um...
0:08:39 > 0:08:43No, it's a pony! Is that what it is?
0:08:43 > 0:08:49- It's a bicycle, Nina! Oh! - Ha ha! Well done, Gran!
0:08:49 > 0:08:51It's a bicycle, well done.
0:08:51 > 0:08:56Poor Granny had to get really close to see the picture of the bicycle.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59It's because she isn't wearing her glasses.
0:08:59 > 0:09:04Granny needs her glasses to help her eyes see things more clearly.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Everybody's eyes are different.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10William, you and Laurie are both quite far away.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14You could see that from over there, so you have good eyesight,
0:09:14 > 0:09:17and Mum and Brian, that wasn't too bad at all,
0:09:17 > 0:09:20you just came to the bottom of the steps,
0:09:20 > 0:09:23and shouted what was on the picture.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26Granny, you had to come a little bit further.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29Maybe that means you do need your glasses.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Up you come.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37Your question was "Does Granny need to wear glasses?"
0:09:37 > 0:09:41That experiment taught us that our eyes are different.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44You could identify the picture from far away,
0:09:44 > 0:09:49but your granny had to come close before she could see what it was.
0:09:49 > 0:09:54We have one more problem to solve. Where are Granny's glasses?
0:09:54 > 0:09:57- I don't know.- Neither do I.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Oh, Granny, you must be tired out.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06- I am, a wee bit. - Why don't you take a seat?
0:10:06 > 0:10:10Do you remember where you last had your glasses?
0:10:10 > 0:10:14I had them this morning, but I think I've mislaid them.
0:10:14 > 0:10:19Maybe out in the garden. I was out here reading my book earlier.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23OK. Well, don't you worry, cos we will help you find them.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26We could have a Granny's Glasses Hunt.
0:10:26 > 0:10:31- Will you help me, William? - Yes.- Excellent. Let's get looking!
0:10:35 > 0:10:37Not here, Nina!
0:10:43 > 0:10:44Oh!
0:10:58 > 0:11:01Not here, Nina!
0:11:07 > 0:11:11Oh! I'm so sorry, Granny, we couldn't find them anywhere.
0:11:11 > 0:11:16- Ah! Oh, they were here all the time! - You've been sitting on them!
0:11:16 > 0:11:21Ha ha! She was sitting on them all the time!
0:11:21 > 0:11:25Ha ha! No wonder they couldn't find them! Ha ha ha!
0:11:25 > 0:11:28What a relief! Oh, just one more thing.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30I found this lovely red ribbon,
0:11:30 > 0:11:34and if we attach it to the end of your glasses,
0:11:34 > 0:11:36you can wear it round your neck,
0:11:36 > 0:11:40and then you will never, ever lose your glasses again!
0:11:42 > 0:11:43There you go!
0:11:48 > 0:11:54- Oh, things look much clearer now. Thank you, Nina.- That's OK.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57# Nina and the Neurons! #
0:11:57 > 0:11:59We've learned today that our eyes
0:11:59 > 0:12:02all work differently from each other.
0:12:02 > 0:12:06Some people can see better than others, like Granny.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09She needs her glasses to see more clearly.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11I'm glad I could help you.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14- It was easy when we used our senses. - Yeah.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18It's time for me to go, but thank you very much.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20- Bye, William.- Bye, Nina.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34# It's been a busy, busy day
0:12:34 > 0:12:37# Questions answered, experiments done
0:12:37 > 0:12:40# We've all used our senses in so many ways
0:12:40 > 0:12:44# Tell me, Neurons, what have you done today? #
0:12:44 > 0:12:47I definitely worked the hardest today.
0:12:47 > 0:12:51Especially searching for Granny's glasses.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56There were loads of sounds to keep me busy.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00I was listening to everyone shouting out their answers.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02It's an aeroplane!
0:13:02 > 0:13:03A boat!
0:13:03 > 0:13:06Well, I was working hard too, you know.
0:13:06 > 0:13:11Touching the plants and flowers as we searched for the glasses.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14They felt so good!
0:13:14 > 0:13:17We've had a bit of an easy day, haven't we, Bud?
0:13:17 > 0:13:21Yeah. Not much smelling and tasting today, sis,
0:13:21 > 0:13:24but I've still had a fabby time!
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Well, that was great fun.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37I hope you've had a sensational time, too. Bye!
0:13:37 > 0:13:39- Bye!- Bye!- Bye!- Bye!- Bye!
