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!

0:00:44 > 0:00:47# Ollie sniffs out smells And Belle, she hears so much
0:00:47 > 0:00:50# Bud is Ollie's brother, he helps us with our taste
0:00:50 > 0:00:53# They're Nina's little neurons And their coming to your place!

0:01:05 > 0:01:07# Oh yeah! #
0:01:08 > 0:01:12Hi, there. Wait till you see what I've got to show you.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16It may not look much but THIS is a magic jug.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20Just like Aladdin's lamp, well, except there's no genie in it.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23Well, I hope there isn't.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29No! Definitely no genie. But there are lots of colours.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32What? Can you not see the colours? Ah!
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Watch this!
0:01:34 > 0:01:39Ah! A beautiful pink colour.
0:01:39 > 0:01:40Isn't that amazing?
0:01:40 > 0:01:44I told you it was magic. Are any other colours in here?
0:01:44 > 0:01:49Ha, ha! A lovely blue colour.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52That's gorgeous. I wonder how that happened?
0:01:52 > 0:01:55It started clear, then pink in this one.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58Then clear, then blue in this one. Hmmm...
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Let's try the next one.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07Sunny yellow. What's in here?
0:02:09 > 0:02:13Oh, an inky purply-black colour.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Do you think there are any more colours?
0:02:16 > 0:02:17Let's try the last one.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22Oh, the magic jug has run out of colours.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Maybe we should fill the jug up again?
0:02:25 > 0:02:29What colour do you think it would turn to then? Let's see.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Black inky one in first.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36OK, it's still black and inky. That makes sense.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Put the purply-blue in.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43Sunny yellow, this might brighten it up.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46Bright pink - this'll sort it.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Oh! It's all a bit mucky.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52Oh well, I'll just pop the clear stuff back in.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56Hah!
0:02:56 > 0:03:01Isn't that amazing? It's gone back to being clear again. Wow!
0:03:01 > 0:03:03I'll let you in on a secret.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06It's not really a magic jug.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09Each beaker has a different chemical in it.
0:03:09 > 0:03:14When the clear liquid touches the chemical, they mix and change.
0:03:16 > 0:03:21- Thank you very much, everyone. - ALL: Bye.- Have a lovely day. Bye.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23ALARM BEEPS
0:03:23 > 0:03:28I hear a beep, I see a flash. I wonder what they're going to ask?
0:03:33 > 0:03:37Hi, Nina. My name's Eilidh and I've got a question for you.
0:03:37 > 0:03:42Why does my dad like bacon and banana sandwiches? I think they're yeuchy.
0:03:42 > 0:03:47I don't know why your dad likes those but it's a great question.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49I'd love to help you find out, Eilidh.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52- Bye, Nina. Thank you.- Bye.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57Well, I think we're going to need some help to answer this one.
0:03:57 > 0:04:02And I know just who to ask. OK, Neurons, time to get to work!
0:04:16 > 0:04:18ALL: Neurons at the ready, Nina.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20OK, Eilidh wants to know
0:04:20 > 0:04:24why her dad likes bacon and banana sandwiches and she doesn't.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28Which Neuron can help us answer today's question?
0:04:28 > 0:04:31ALL: Me! Me! Me! Me! Me!
0:04:31 > 0:04:33Will it be Fabulous Felix?
0:04:33 > 0:04:37I can help so very much, if you need the sense of touch.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Will it be Beautiful Belle?
0:04:39 > 0:04:43I send messages brain to ear, if there's a sound I'll help you hear.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Will it be Lovely Luke?
0:04:45 > 0:04:47For looking and seeing, day or night,
0:04:47 > 0:04:50I'll help you with your sense of sight.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Will it be Awesome Ollie?
0:04:52 > 0:04:55If it's pongy or whiffy but you can't tell,
0:04:55 > 0:04:57my messages help your sense of smell.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Or will it be Baby Bud?
0:04:59 > 0:05:04Sour, salty, bitter or sweet, I'm your Taste Buddy whenever you eat.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11- It's Bud!- Yippee! CHEERING
0:05:11 > 0:05:16ALL: Go, Bud! Go, Bud! Go, Bud! Go, Bud!
0:05:16 > 0:05:19Go, Bud! Go, Bud! Go, Bud! BUD SLURPS
0:05:19 > 0:05:22Give me a taste of the action, Nina.
0:05:22 > 0:05:27We'll be doing loads of tasting today and Bud knows all about taste.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29So he's the perfect Neuron to help out.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35OK, then. Let's go.
0:05:58 > 0:06:02- Meet Eilidh, her brother Alan and their mum and dad.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05They're a regular family from Ross-shire
0:06:05 > 0:06:08but today for one day only they are...
0:06:09 > 0:06:13The Experimenters!
0:06:18 > 0:06:21- Hi, everyone.- ALL: Hi, Nina.
0:06:21 > 0:06:26- Hello, Eilidh, how are you?- Fine. - Excellent. We should get started.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Can you remind me of your question?
0:06:28 > 0:06:32Why does my dad like bacon and banana sandwiches?
0:06:32 > 0:06:33I think they're yeuchy.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37OK, you think they're yeuchy. Time to get going.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41BUD BEEPS
0:06:41 > 0:06:42Ready, Bud?
0:06:42 > 0:06:45It's my big moment!
0:06:45 > 0:06:50Standing by, ready to send lots of messages.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Is this the famous sandwich?
0:06:53 > 0:06:57I think we should all have a taste to see what we think.
0:06:57 > 0:06:58Have a bite.
0:07:01 > 0:07:02Mmmm...
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Disgusting.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08I'm afraid I'm with you, Alan. Sorry, Dad.
0:07:08 > 0:07:09They're disgusting.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12This part of the experiment taught us
0:07:12 > 0:07:15different people like different foods.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18We should find out more about taste, don't you think?
0:07:18 > 0:07:21And what kinds of taste there are.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23We've got all this food in front of us.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27I think we should all try it and see how it tastes to you.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29- What's this?- Lemon.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33- What's that taste like? - Hey, look at Alan's face!
0:07:33 > 0:07:35Doesn't like that much.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39- Really sour!- Eilidh?- Extremely sour.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42I think lemons are definitely sour.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44OK, what next? Pineapple.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48Mmmm, pineapple, my favourite fruit.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Give me a banana any day.
0:07:50 > 0:07:55- What do you think that tastes like? - A bit sweet.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58- What do you think?- Sweet. - That was sweet.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01BUD BEEPS
0:08:01 > 0:08:06So we've got sour and sweet. What else would you like to try?
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Bacon.
0:08:08 > 0:08:09Bacon. OK.
0:08:09 > 0:08:14Hah! I'm getting tired with all this tasting!
0:08:14 > 0:08:16It's hard work, you know!
0:08:16 > 0:08:19- A bit salty.- I think you're right.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22So, bacon is salty. Let's have some water.
0:08:24 > 0:08:25One more to taste.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27It's cocoa powder.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33- What does that taste like? - Very bitter.
0:08:33 > 0:08:37- THEY LAUGH - Aw...- It's really bitter, isn't it?
0:08:37 > 0:08:39So, we've got sweet,
0:08:39 > 0:08:41sour,
0:08:41 > 0:08:42bitter,
0:08:42 > 0:08:44and salty.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48We've learned there's four types of strong flavours. Hmmm...
0:08:48 > 0:08:51So in our mouths we have lots of taste buds.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55Whenever we eat or drink, it's the taste buds that tell us
0:08:55 > 0:09:02- whether it's sweet, sour... - Bitter...- Or?- Salty.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06That still doesn't answer your question, Eilidh.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Why he likes them and you don't.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12I think we need more investigating into these sandwiches.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16We should have a sandwich making competition.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18THEY GIGGLE
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Welcome to Ready Spready Bready!
0:09:25 > 0:09:29Here we have the fillings we're going to use for our competition.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Let's see what we've got.
0:09:31 > 0:09:36That's beetroot. We've also got sun-dried tomatoes.
0:09:36 > 0:09:42There's cheese with cranberries in it, normal cheese and normal cheese.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Excellent. And jam. And some honey.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48- There's some butter.- What's that?
0:09:48 > 0:09:52That is anchovies. They're little fishes.
0:09:52 > 0:09:53And they're quite salty.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57So, do you have ideas about what you'll be using?
0:09:57 > 0:09:58Excellent. OK, go!
0:10:01 > 0:10:04Oooh, I love competitions.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06I wonder who'll win?
0:10:06 > 0:10:10Honey and cheese, Eilidh?! That's funny.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Looking good, guys.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16Running out of time. So, any last minute additions, go for it!
0:10:32 > 0:10:34That's it! Stop cooking.
0:10:34 > 0:10:35NINA LAUGHS
0:10:35 > 0:10:38# Nina and the Neurons! #
0:10:38 > 0:10:41So here we are with our final sandwiches.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44And, Eilidh, I think you should be the judge.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48We'll all taste all the sandwiches and you tell us your favourite.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50That'll be the winner. OK?
0:10:50 > 0:10:55We'll try mine first. My masterpiece of beetroot, onion and salami.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Everyone, have a taste!
0:10:57 > 0:11:01Mmm...that's beautiful. Do you like that, guys?
0:11:01 > 0:11:06- No.- Quite nice.- Excellent, Mum. Very good taste.
0:11:06 > 0:11:11- What did you think, Eilidh? - Yummy scrummy in my tummy.
0:11:11 > 0:11:12I'm glad you like it.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Let's try yours now, Alan.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18Everyone, grab one.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22- In Alan's we have...? - Ham, cheese, jam and salami.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25THEY GRIMACE
0:11:25 > 0:11:31- Yeuch.- I'm sorry. I'm not a fan of that one, sorry, Alan.
0:11:31 > 0:11:35- I'm not either. It's horrible.- I don't like it either.- Oh, well.
0:11:35 > 0:11:40- So, Judge Eilidh, what did you think of that?- Yeuch.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43Let's try Eilidh's. What's in your sandwich?
0:11:43 > 0:11:47Honey, ham, ham, cheese.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53Mmmm...
0:11:53 > 0:11:56It's not TOO bad.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00Now, which one is the winner of Ready Spready Bready?
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Nina!
0:12:04 > 0:12:07Mine?! Nina's! Ha, ha!
0:12:08 > 0:12:09Thank you, very much.
0:12:09 > 0:12:14So, you want to know why your dad likes bacon and banana sandwiches
0:12:14 > 0:12:15when you don't.
0:12:15 > 0:12:19We've found out there are four strong kinds of flavours.
0:12:19 > 0:12:25- Sweet, sour, bitter and salty. - That's right.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Sweet, sour, bitter and salty.
0:12:27 > 0:12:32Some people's taste buds are more sensitive to tastes than others.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35That's why we like different things.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39- OK, thanks very much. It's been lovely. Take care, bye!- Bye.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42- Bye, Nina.- Bye.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54ALL: Wh-oa-oa-oa!
0:12:54 > 0:12:57# It's been a busy, busy day
0:12:57 > 0:13:00# Questions answered Experiments done
0:13:00 > 0:13:02# We've all used our senses in so many ways
0:13:02 > 0:13:06# Tell me, Neurons, What have you done today? #
0:13:06 > 0:13:09I definitely worked the hardest today.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12There was so much food to taste!
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Yeah, I was pretty busy.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16Some of those sandwiches looked odd.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18I was really busy.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22- Some of those sandwiches were really smelly.- Oo-er.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24I was working hard too, you know.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28With all that spreading and scooping and pouring.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31Loads of sounds kept me busy.
0:13:31 > 0:13:36When everybody was making sandwiches - what a racket!
0:13:43 > 0:13:45That was great fun.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49I hope you've had a sensational time too. Bye!
0:13:49 > 0:13:52ALL: Bye bye!
