Oh, hi!

ALL: Hi, Nina.

I've got a new demonstration.

It's all to do with static electricity.

You might have used it before -

when you rub a balloon on your sleeve,

to see if it will stick to the wall.

Hey hey!

The balloon hangs there.

It's static electricity holding it up.

It doesn't just stick things together.

It can make them fly apart.

This machine makes static electricity.

I'll turn it on so you see how it works.

MACHINE WHIRRS

-ELECTRICITY CRACKLES

-It's brilliant!

-ELECTRICITY CRACKLES

-Ha-ha!

I have a little plate here full of little pieces of paper.

I'm going to sit it on top of our machine.

I'm going to turn it back on.

Keep an eye on the pieces of paper.

MACHINE WHIRRS

NINA CHUCKLES

Fantastic!

Just as I'd hoped.

Because the pieces of paper are quite small and light,

the static electricity makes them fly everywhere.

The lighter something is,

the easier it can be carried through the air.

Really tiny things like dust can be carried even further.

Thank you very much, everyone.

-Have a lovely day.

-ALL: Bye.

BLEEPING

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

Hi, Nina. My name's Denham and I've got a question.

Sure, Denham.

How can I find out where the bad smell comes from?

Oh, that's an interesting question.

Bad smells can get everywhere.

I'm on my way.

-Bye, Nina.

-Bye.

We need help to answer this one. I know just who to ask.

OK, Neurons, time to get to work.

ALL: Neurons at the ready, Nina.

OK, the question from Denham is,

how can I find where a bad smell comes from.

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

ALL: Me!

Will it be fabulous Felix?

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

Will it be beautiful Belle?

I send messages, brain to ear

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

Will it be lovely Luke?

For lookin' and seein', day or night

I'll help you with your sense of sight.

Will it be awesome Ollie?

If it's pongy or whiffy But you can't tell

My messages help your sense of smell.

-Or will it be baby Bud?

-Sour, salty, bitter or sweet

I'm your taste buddy whenever you eat.

It's Ollie.

ALL: Go, Ollie!

Go, Ollie! Go, Ollie!

Go, Ollie! Go, Ollie! Go, Ollie!

Go, Ollie!

Standing by to smell and tell, Nina.

We're doing lots of smelling,

so we need Ollie to help sniff out this stink.

OK, then.

Let's go.

'Meet Denham, his sister Ariana and their mum and dad,

'a regular family from Port Glasgow.

'For one day only, they are...

'the Experimentals!'

-Hi, everyone!

-ALL: Hi, Nina.

SHE SNIFFS

Oh!

Oh! Oh, hi there. You must be Denham.

You wanted to know how to find where a bad smell comes from.

-Can you smell it?

-I can!

I'm glad you can - I thought it was just me.

Now I know why you asked that question.

Oh, there's a real stink around here, isn't there?

But we'll solve this problem scientifically.

I think it's time for our first experiment.

Ready, Ollie?

It's my big moment. Standing by.

Ready to send lots of messages.

So, where can we smell the smell?

-Over the house.

-Yeah, it IS all over the house.

So, my idea is, why don't we just try getting out of the house?

What do you think?

-ALL: Yeah.

-Well, let's go!

NINA SNIFFS

How does that smell now?

I can't smell it.

-We just need to stay out here.

-We can't stay out here.

-We can't stay out here.

-Oh!

-Because it might rain.

That's a very good point.

That would be terrible.

Let's try something else. Back inside, come on.

-SHE SNIFFS

-We're back inside with the smell.

How do we smell things?

With our nose.

If we block our noses,

we shouldn't be able to smell the smell.

Let's try holding our noses.

Don't pinch too hard.

You'll hurt your nose.

But don't pinch too softly or you'll still smell the stink.

-NASALLY:

-Can you smell anything?

-No.

-But we sound funny.

Yeah, we do, don't we?!

That gives us a clue.

The smell must be in the air all around us.

So maybe if we don't breathe in, we won't smell the smell.

Why don't we try holding our breath?

SHE INHALES DEEPLY

When you breathe in, you're sucking air into your lungs.

To get there, it needs to go through your mouth or nose.

And when the air passes through your nose, you can smell smells.

So, if you don't breathe in, you won't notice the smell.

Can you smell anything?

No.

But we can't do this all the time.

SHE BREATHES OUT

Maybe we could try to disguise the smell.

-What could we smell that would be nicer?

-BOTH: Flowers!

That's a lovely idea! Could you find some flowers for me?

Brilliant!

Oh, we've found some flowers.

Let's put these under our noses and smell.

And how do they smell?

-Strong.

-Strong, that's right.

Now, I'll bring them over here,

and try and sniff them from there.

-How do they smell?

-Not strong.

They're not so strong, are they? So, smells are stronger

when you're near where the smell's coming from.

Now, if we move round the house

and find where the smell is strongest,

we'll find where the smell is coming from.

Right, time for a quick quiz.

Who thinks they know most about smells?

ALL: Me! Me! Me!

Which of the following makes the smelliest stink?

Is it number one - a pair of old socks? Oh!

Or is it number two - oh! A stinky burp?

Or is it number three...

A sweaty armpit?

Or is it number four - seaweed? Oh!

Or number five... Oh! Rotten eggs.

It's make your mind up time, Neurons.

Which one smells the strongest?

I know the answer, yes. Number two would be my guess.

Now, listen up, I'll tell you more, I'm sure the answer's number four.

Which answer's right? Let me see, I'm going to go for number three.

I think I've sniffed the answer out. It's number five, no doubt.

Number one looks tasty to me! So, Nina, who will the winner be?

The winner is... Ollie! The answer was number five.

Rotten eggs, and boy, do these eggs pong!

And that's because the stink of rotten eggs comes from a chemical

which mixes with the air really easily.

So your nose picks it up as a stronger smell. Ugh!

Time to be getting back to Denham and his sister.

They're trying to sniff out that bad smell.

SHE SNIFFS

SHE CONTINUES SNIFFING

BLEEPING

-SHE SNIFFS

-Ugh! Oh! We're in your mum and dad's room,

and this is where the smell is strongest.

That means this is where the smell is.

Oh! I think the smell is coming from this bag!

-Oh!

-Pooh!

-Horrible, isn't it?

Right, I'm opening the bag, very brave!

Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!

Oh! These are stinky, whose are these trainers?

BOTH: My dad's shoes.

Well done, Ollie! You found the stink.

Yes, but the pong is worse than ever cos we're so close to it!

Oh! Ugh! Ugh!

We managed to find where the smell was coming from

and it was Dad's old trainers! Oh! Ha ha!

Now, we need to get rid of them.

I'm gonna put them in this bin bag.

I am glad to see the back of those stinky shoes!

I don't think anyone will miss them!

-How does that smell now, Denham?

-Fine.

-Far better!

We've managed to solve your problem. You wanted to know

how can you find where a bad smell comes from? We found out

there are smells all around us,

and we can smell them through our noses when we breathe in

and smells are stronger when you're close to where the smell is.

In this case, your dad's trainers!

I'm glad I could help answer your question.

I have to go back to my work now.

I'll take the stinky trainers with me.

Bye-bye, everyone!

ALL: Bye!

# It's been a busy, busy day

# Questions answered, experiments done

# We've all used our senses in so many ways

# Tell me, Neurons, what have you done today? #

I definitely worked the hardest today.

Sniffing those trainers wore me out, the smell was so strong!

Yeah, I was pretty busy.

I loved looking at those flowers.

They were really colourful!

I was working hard too, you know.

I had lots of messages to carry when everyone was holding their noses.

-I feel filthy thinking about it!

-There were loads of sounds for me!

Everyone sounded different with their noses pinched.

We do sound funny!

Wowee! I've been a busy baby Bud!

Those trainers were so stinky you could almost taste them! Hee!

# Nina and the Neurons

# Nina and the Neurons

# Oh oh-oh-oh... #

That was great fun. I hope you've had a sensational time too. Bye!

ALL: Bye!
