0:00:07 > 0:00:11# Ask Nina for some help Cos she's got a science show
0:00:11 > 0:00:15# She makes sense of our senses By helping her fans
0:00:15 > 0:00:17# By doing her experiments With potions and with bangs. #

0:01:05 > 0:01:07# Oh, yeah! #
0:01:09 > 0:01:12Hello, there. I've got a real treat for you today.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15I'm going to show you one of my favourite exhibits.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18It's a sort of scientific trick
0:01:18 > 0:01:22that fools your eyes into thinking it's seeing something unusual.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25It's called the floating head.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29Why is it called the floating head, you ask? I shall show you.
0:01:29 > 0:01:33Keep your eye on the hole in this table here. I'll get into position.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38Oh, look at me now!
0:01:39 > 0:01:42I'm just a floating head. Isn't it amazing?
0:01:42 > 0:01:45It looks like my body has just disappeared.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49Although you might think this is a mysterious magical trick,
0:01:49 > 0:01:52actually there's a simple scientific explanation.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Look underneath the table.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Can you see my hand?
0:01:58 > 0:02:01This is no ordinary table.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04There's a mirror underneath. Let me show you.
0:02:07 > 0:02:12When you look at it, you think you're seeing the back wall,
0:02:12 > 0:02:14which is plain white and a carpet,
0:02:14 > 0:02:18but you're seeing a reflection of what is in front of the table,
0:02:18 > 0:02:22which is a plain white wall and a carpet.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25So although you think you're looking underneath the table,
0:02:25 > 0:02:27you're actually looking into a mirror.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31And the mirror can hide all sorts of things behind it.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33That's how I was hiding my body before.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36In fact, you could hide anything behind there.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39It could be hidden for ages and no-one would ever know.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Unless, of course, it popped its head up through the hole.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44Then you would see it.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48I love this exhibit. It's so much fun.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50- BLEEPING - There's the message alarm.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52I'd better go see who it is.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00I hear a beep, I see a flash, I wonder what they're going to ask.
0:03:04 > 0:03:10- Hi, Nina.- Hi, Nina.- My name's Anna. - And my name's Keir.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12Hello, what's your question?
0:03:12 > 0:03:16What is the best sense to find the Loch Ness Monster?
0:03:16 > 0:03:19We've never had a question like that before.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22I'd love to help you both find the answer.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25- Bye, Nina!- Bye, Nina!
0:03:25 > 0:03:26Bye!
0:03:27 > 0:03:31I think we'll need some help to answer this one,
0:03:31 > 0:03:35and I know just who to ask. OK, Neurons, time to get to work.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52Neurons at the ready, Nina!
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Today's question is,
0:03:54 > 0:03:58"What is the best sense for finding the Loch Ness Monster?"
0:03:58 > 0:04:01Which Neuron do you think will be most helpful?
0:04:01 > 0:04:05- Me!- Me!- Me!- Me!- Oh, me!
0:04:05 > 0:04:08Will it be fabulous Felix?
0:04:08 > 0:04:11I can help so very much if you need the sense of touch.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13Will it be beautiful Belle?
0:04:13 > 0:04:18I send messages, brain to ear. If there's a sound, I'll help you hear.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Will it be lovely Luke?
0:04:20 > 0:04:22For looking or seeing, day or night,
0:04:22 > 0:04:25I'll help you with your sense of sight.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Will it be awesome Ollie?
0:04:27 > 0:04:32If it's pongy, but you can't tell, I can help your sense of smell.
0:04:32 > 0:04:33Or will it be Baby Bud?
0:04:33 > 0:04:36Sour, salty, bitter or sweet,
0:04:36 > 0:04:39I'm your taste buddy whenever you eat.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45It's all Neurons!
0:04:45 > 0:04:48Go Neurons! Go Neurons! Go Neurons!
0:04:48 > 0:04:52Go Neurons! Go Neurons! Go Neurons! Go Neurons!
0:04:52 > 0:04:55All Neurons hip-hop-happy to help, Nina!
0:04:55 > 0:04:58I think today is going to be a competition,
0:04:58 > 0:05:01so all the Neurons will be kept busy.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06OK, then. Let's go.
0:05:18 > 0:05:23Well, this journey gives me time to tell you about Nessie,
0:05:23 > 0:05:25the Loch Ness Monster!
0:05:25 > 0:05:28If Nessie exists, he must be a shy monster.
0:05:28 > 0:05:33Thousands of people go to visit him, but he doesn't come out to play.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37He's supposed to live in the cold, dark waters of Loch Ness.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41Lots of people say there's no monster, but I think there is.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Monster? Aaah!
0:05:46 > 0:05:50Meet Anna, her little sister, Ashton, and their mum.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54They're here with Keir, his big sister, Erin, and their mum.
0:05:54 > 0:05:59Two regular families, but today, for one day only, they are...
0:05:59 > 0:06:03The Experimenters!
0:06:06 > 0:06:09- Hi, everyone!- Hi!
0:06:09 > 0:06:13So, this is the loch! Oh, it's beautiful, isn't it?
0:06:13 > 0:06:15- Yeah!- And you wanted to know
0:06:15 > 0:06:20which sense is most useful when looking for the monster.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Have any of you seen the monster before?
0:06:22 > 0:06:27- No!- Oh, you've not? Oh. Do you know what it's supposed to look like?
0:06:27 > 0:06:30- No.- What do you think, Anna?
0:06:30 > 0:06:31A long neck.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35- Ashton?- It's meant to be with red spots.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37- Keir?- Four legs.- Oh, my goodness!
0:06:37 > 0:06:41We've got loads of information. This is going to help.
0:06:41 > 0:06:46I think the best thing to do is to go through each sense, one by one.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Which one will we do first?
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Er...eyes.
0:06:50 > 0:06:56Fantastic idea. So, let's go and watch the loch. Let's go this way!
0:07:03 > 0:07:07And, while we're looking, I've got a great song we can sing.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10- Are you ready?- YEAH!
0:07:13 > 0:07:17# If you want to see a monster, clap your hands!
0:07:17 > 0:07:21# If you want to see a monster, clap your hands!
0:07:21 > 0:07:25# If you want to see a monster and say, "Very nice to meet you"
0:07:25 > 0:07:28# If you want to see a monster, clap your hands
0:07:28 > 0:07:31# I think I see a monster over there
0:07:31 > 0:07:34# I think I see a monster over there
0:07:34 > 0:07:37# I said, "I think I see one" A giant of a lumpy one
0:07:37 > 0:07:40# I said, "I think I see one over there." #
0:07:40 > 0:07:43You know, I think it's her imagination.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47Cheeky! Hm. Do you know, I think you might be right,
0:07:47 > 0:07:49I think it was just my imagination.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53I think we're maybe too far away from the water. Time to get closer.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56# Nina and the Neurons! #
0:07:56 > 0:08:00No luck with our sense of sight so far. What next?
0:08:00 > 0:08:03We can use our ears!
0:08:03 > 0:08:06OK! I think this monster isn't going to be easy to find,
0:08:06 > 0:08:09so we'll have to listen carefully,
0:08:09 > 0:08:12and the next part of the song will help us.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16# If you want to hear the monster, cup your ears
0:08:16 > 0:08:19# If you want to hear the monster, cup your ears
0:08:19 > 0:08:23# If you want to hear the monster, the really quiet monster
0:08:23 > 0:08:26# If you want to hear the monster, cup your ears. #
0:08:26 > 0:08:28No, I can't hear a thing.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32I think it might have been my imagination again, sorry.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35So, we've had no luck with our ears or eyes.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38I think we'll have to go out onto the water.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42Oh, don't panic! Onto the water, not into the water.
0:08:47 > 0:08:52- Will it be my turn on the boat? - Maybe, you'll have to wait and see.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55Yeah, chill the beans, little Bud.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58Relax, and enjoy this lovely scenery.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04Three senses still to go! Which one will we do next?
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Sense of smell!
0:09:06 > 0:09:07Looks like me next.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09Ready to sniff, Nina!
0:09:09 > 0:09:14- Oh! Still not me! - I'm sure it'll be you soon, Bud.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Let me get ready for some messages.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20OK, so let's sniff out this elusive monster!
0:09:20 > 0:09:24# If you want to smell the monster, sniff the air
0:09:24 > 0:09:27# If you want to smell the monster, sniff the air
0:09:27 > 0:09:31# I think I smell the monster, the slimy, stinky monster
0:09:31 > 0:09:33# I think I smell the monster over there. #
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Hmmm. Excuse me.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49- Oh, hello, Captain.- Hello, Nina.
0:09:49 > 0:09:54- You're not the monster.- No. - It was your soup that I smelled.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56I didn't like it very much!
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Have you ever seen the monster?
0:09:58 > 0:10:01I've seen something, but I can't explain it.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05- Do you think sniffing might help? - It might, you could try.
0:10:05 > 0:10:10- He is difficult to find.- It's a big loch, there's a lot of water in it.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13- He's got lots of places to hide. - Lots of water, yep.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Your boat's brilliant.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19We've been looking, and sniffing, and listening,
0:10:19 > 0:10:21but we still haven't found him.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24# Nina and the Neurons! #
0:10:24 > 0:10:28Oh, this monster definitely doesn't want us to find it!
0:10:28 > 0:10:31But I get a sense it's really close by,
0:10:31 > 0:10:34we could almost reach out and touch it.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38# If you want to touch the monster, you are brave
0:10:38 > 0:10:42# If you want to touch the monster, you are brave
0:10:42 > 0:10:46# If you want to touch the monster, and you really think you want to
0:10:46 > 0:10:49# If you want to touch the monster, you are brave. #
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Brave? More like foolish, I'd say.
0:11:02 > 0:11:07You still looking? There's a monster so close by, I can almost taste it.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11- Take a look through these. - OK. I'm almost giving up hope.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18Oh! Ha ha ha! I can see it!
0:11:18 > 0:11:19Nessie! Hello!
0:11:19 > 0:11:21Hi, Nessie!
0:11:22 > 0:11:26I didn't think it would be creamy, though.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Hurray!
0:11:28 > 0:11:30Finally, it's my turn to help Nina!
0:11:30 > 0:11:35# If you'd like to taste our Nessie, follow me
0:11:35 > 0:11:38# If you'd like to taste our Nessie, follow me
0:11:38 > 0:11:42# If you'd like to taste our Nessie, like to taste our Nessie,
0:11:42 > 0:11:44# Like to taste our Nessie, follow me. #
0:11:44 > 0:11:47Here we are. So, you wanted to know
0:11:47 > 0:11:51which sense would help us find the real monster.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54I'm afraid we couldn't find the real monster,
0:11:54 > 0:11:58but our sense of taste has led us to the gift shop,
0:11:58 > 0:12:03to something far tastier than a real monster! A chocolate one!
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Fantastic.
0:12:05 > 0:12:10One for you, you guys have got one. Erin, you too. So, let's tuck in.
0:12:10 > 0:12:14I think we deserve it, after all our hard work. Oh!
0:12:14 > 0:12:18Sending that yummy chocolatey message now!
0:12:18 > 0:12:22Mmmmm!
0:12:33 > 0:12:36# It's been a busy, busy day
0:12:36 > 0:12:39# Questions answered, experiments done
0:12:39 > 0:12:42# We've all used our senses in so many ways
0:12:42 > 0:12:46# Tell me, Neurons, what have you done today? #
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Yeah, I was pretty busy!
0:12:48 > 0:12:52I had lots to do, with all that monster-hunting,
0:12:52 > 0:12:55and trying to see Nessie in that dark water.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58There were loads of sounds to keep me busy.
0:12:58 > 0:13:03Wave and boat sounds, but I'm glad there weren't any monster growls!
0:13:03 > 0:13:05I was really busy.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09I was smelling fresh air when we were out on the water.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12Well, I was working hard too, you know.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15I had to hold Nina's nose, and all that stretching,
0:13:15 > 0:13:17to try and touch the monster.
0:13:17 > 0:13:21Wowee! I've been a busy Baby Bud!
0:13:21 > 0:13:25I thought I was never going to get to help,
0:13:25 > 0:13:27but then I got to send messages
0:13:27 > 0:13:31about one of my favourite things - chocolate!
0:13:31 > 0:13:34We never found the Loch Ness Monster,
0:13:34 > 0:13:36but we all worked hard to try and help.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Well, that was great fun.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49I hope you've had a sensational time, too. Bye!
0:13:49 > 0:13:52- Bye!- Bye!- Bye!- Bye!- Bye!
