# Oh, yeah! #

0:01:050:01:07

Hello! I've had a great idea today.

0:01:070:01:09

I want to show you some lovely views of the city and the countryside.

0:01:100:01:15

Let's see what we can see.

0:01:150:01:17

Oh, there's the Science Centre.

0:01:170:01:20

And the car park.

0:01:200:01:22

Oh, and there's some river. And the Science Centre again.

0:01:220:01:27

The views are great but I want to see more.

0:01:270:01:30

The Science Centre is much bigger than me so I can't see past it.

0:01:300:01:34

For a better view, we need to get higher

0:01:340:01:37

so it's lucky we have this tower here.

0:01:370:01:41

This tower is 127 metres tall.

0:01:420:01:46

That's 80 times taller than me.

0:01:460:01:48

When we get to the top, seeing over things shouldn't be a problem.

0:01:480:01:53

If you look down, you can see we're moving away from the ground.

0:01:570:02:02

I hope you're not scared of heights.

0:02:020:02:05

Oh!

0:02:050:02:06

Wow! Oh, you really do get great views from up here.

0:02:060:02:11

You can see for miles around. You can see the whole city.

0:02:110:02:15

And the hills as well.

0:02:150:02:17

Right down the river.

0:02:200:02:21

Do you see the cars in the distance?

0:02:210:02:24

On the bridge they look really tiny.

0:02:240:02:27

You can see loads of places, even though they're really far away.

0:02:270:02:32

You couldn't see most of them from the ground. Look!

0:02:320:02:35

The Science Centre. When I was next to it,

0:02:350:02:38

there was no way we could see over it. But from here, it looks small

0:02:380:02:43

and you can see over it really easily.

0:02:430:02:46

-BLEEPING

-Oh, someone has a question for me.

0:02:530:02:56

I'd better see who it is.

0:02:560:02:58

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

0:03:030:03:07

Hello, Nina. My name's Tanuka and I've got a question for you.

0:03:100:03:16

Why are things so small when they're far away?

0:03:160:03:20

What an interesting question! I know what you mean.

0:03:200:03:24

-We'll have to investigate this. I'll see you soon. Bye.

-See you soon.

0:03:240:03:29

Bye.

0:03:290:03:31

I think we'll need help to answer this one. And I know who to ask.

0:03:320:03:37

OK, Neurons, time to get to work.

0:03:370:03:40

ALL: Neurons at the ready, Nina!

0:03:550:03:57

OK, Tanuka's question is -

0:03:570:03:59

why are things so small when they're far away?

0:03:590:04:03

Which Neuron will help us find the answer?

0:04:030:04:06

ALL: Me!

0:04:060:04:08

Will it be Fabulous Felix?

0:04:100:04:12

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

0:04:120:04:16

Will it be beautiful Belle?

0:04:160:04:18

I send messages brain to ear, If there's a sound I'll help you hear.

0:04:190:04:23

Will it be Lovely Luke?

0:04:230:04:25

Looking and seeing, day or night I'll help with your sense of sight.

0:04:250:04:29

Will it be Awesome Ollie?

0:04:290:04:32

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

0:04:320:04:34

my messages help your sense of smell.

0:04:340:04:37

-Or will it be Bud?

-Sour, salty, bitter or sweet

0:04:370:04:40

I'm your taste buddy whenever you eat.

0:04:400:04:44

BLEEPING

0:04:440:04:45

-It's Luke!

-Yes!

0:04:470:04:50

NEURONS CHANT: Go, Luke! Go, Luke!

0:04:500:04:52

Cool, Nina. I'll be looking out to help you.

0:04:570:05:01

We want to find out about how things look, so Luke will be helping us.

0:05:010:05:06

OK, then, let's go.

0:05:090:05:12

Here's Tanuka, her mum and her gran, from Newcastle.

0:05:530:05:57

Today, for one day only, they are...

0:05:570:06:01

the Experimenters!

0:06:010:06:05

OK, now, Tanuka's question was -

0:06:110:06:13

why do things that are far away look so small?

0:06:130:06:17

I think we'll need to do some experiments to find the answer.

0:06:170:06:21

Luke is waiting to help us. Aren't you, Luke?

0:06:210:06:25

Ready, Luke?

0:06:270:06:28

It's my big moment. Standing by, ready to send lots of messages.

0:06:280:06:33

But I thought the family were going to meet me here. I can't see them.

0:06:340:06:39

Can you?

0:06:390:06:40

Oh, I can hear someone laughing.

0:06:400:06:43

I think that's Tanuka and her family.

0:06:430:06:47

HELLO!

0:06:470:06:49

I think it is.

0:06:520:06:54

Hello. Hi, everyone.

0:06:560:07:00

You must be Tanuka. Nice to meet you. Thank you for your question -

0:07:000:07:04

why do things that are far away look so small? Very good question.

0:07:040:07:09

What kinds of things have you seen

0:07:090:07:13

-that look small when they're far away?

-An aeroplane.

0:07:130:07:17

Oh. And what else?

0:07:170:07:18

A helicopter.

0:07:180:07:20

And a helicopter?

0:07:200:07:22

And those things really are big.

0:07:220:07:25

Yes.

0:07:250:07:27

I think I know the very experiment that would help us.

0:07:270:07:31

Yes.

0:07:310:07:33

OK, for this experiment, we have two boxes.

0:07:340:07:37

Mum, can you do me a favour?

0:07:370:07:39

Can you take this box... ..Now, no peeking you, into what's in the box.

0:07:390:07:44

..and pop that up the back for me? Lovely.

0:07:440:07:47

We have a box here as well, Tanuka.

0:07:470:07:50

But I don't want you to peek behind us to see what Mum's doing.

0:07:500:07:54

Why don't you open the box and see what's inside?

0:07:540:08:00

Oh! What is it?

0:08:020:08:03

A teddy bear.

0:08:030:08:05

It's a teddy bear. Oh, it's lovely, as well.

0:08:050:08:09

Why don't we sit him on there, facing that way?

0:08:090:08:12

Can you do that for me?

0:08:120:08:15

We're all going to wander over here.

0:08:150:08:18

-Are you ready yet, Mum?

-Yes.

-Come on over.

0:08:180:08:23

Mum's here. OK, now... we can all turn round.

0:08:230:08:28

Now, what can you see, Tanuka?

0:08:290:08:32

-I can see teddy bears.

-You can see teddy bears.

0:08:320:08:36

Oh, that teddy's looking smart

0:08:360:08:38

-with his tartan ribbon.

-I bet he feels very soft to touch.

0:08:380:08:43

-Have you ever measured with your fingers before?

-No.

0:08:430:08:47

Well, you close one eyes...

0:08:470:08:49

Or you can cover one eye like that as well.

0:08:490:08:52

Close one eye...look at your object and put your fingers up.

0:08:520:08:57

And then close your fingers around the object.

0:08:570:09:01

Both teddies appear to be the same size.

0:09:010:09:04

-Mum, could you bring your teddy over for us, please?

-OK.

-Thank you.

0:09:040:09:10

Now, let's watch as this teddy at the back comes towards us.

0:09:100:09:16

What's happening?

0:09:170:09:19

It's getting bigger.

0:09:190:09:22

Can we measure this teddy with our fingers?

0:09:220:09:25

Oh, I don't know about you, but my fingers can't stretch that far.

0:09:250:09:30

-I think we need to measure him with hands.

-Yes.

-One...

-One...

0:09:300:09:35

-two...

-Two hands.

0:09:350:09:37

-Three hands.

-Oh, three and a half hands.

0:09:370:09:41

So he's really big.

0:09:410:09:43

That experiment has shown us

0:09:430:09:45

the bigger the distance between yourself and an object,

0:09:450:09:49

the smaller the object looks.

0:09:490:09:51

But when the object, like the teddy, comes towards you,

0:09:510:09:55

it gets bigger and you can see its real size.

0:09:550:09:58

Wow-ee! Look at that.

0:09:580:10:01

Mum's teddy's much bigger than Tanuka's.

0:10:010:10:05

They only look the same size because the big teddy was further away.

0:10:050:10:09

I really like measuring things.

0:10:090:10:12

We should measure more things. Would you like to come on a trip?

0:10:120:10:16

-I promise I'll have you all back by tea time.

-Yes.

-Excellent.

0:10:160:10:21

Oh, wow!

0:10:390:10:41

Look at that!

0:10:410:10:43

-It's the Angel of the North.

-It looks teeny from up here.

0:10:470:10:52

Let's measure it with our fingers.

0:10:520:10:55

-It's only this big.

-Yeah.

0:10:560:11:00

It looks brilliant even though it's very small.

0:11:000:11:03

Have you any ideas where we should go next?

0:11:030:11:06

Let's get close to it.

0:11:060:11:09

Good idea. Let's go, everyone.

0:11:090:11:12

Oh, wow!

0:11:270:11:29

When you're this close, you can really see how big it is.

0:11:290:11:34

Shall we measure it? Yes.

0:11:340:11:36

Oh, can you...? It's nearly too big for my fingers.

0:11:360:11:41

Why don't we try hands again? You're very good at that.

0:11:420:11:46

One...

0:11:460:11:48

two...

0:11:480:11:49

It's just massive.

0:11:490:11:52

Wow! Look at the size of it when we're up close.

0:11:520:11:56

It's massive.

0:11:560:11:58

You'll need more than one hand to measure that lot.

0:11:580:12:02

-I've had such a good day with you guys. Have you?

-Yes.

0:12:220:12:26

I must be going now, I'm afraid. So take care of yourselves. Bye!

0:12:260:12:32

-Bye.

-Bye.

0:12:320:12:34

NEURONS: Oh!

0:12:440:12:45

# It's been a busy, busy day

0:12:450:12:49

# Questions answered Experiments done

0:12:490:12:51

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

0:12:510:12:54

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

0:12:540:12:58

Well, I definitely worked the hardest today.

0:12:580:13:01

I had loads of messages to send

0:13:010:13:03

about how objects look small when they are far away

0:13:030:13:07

but large when they are near you.

0:13:070:13:10

Well, I was working hard too, you know.

0:13:110:13:14

There was all that reaching out with fingers and hands

0:13:140:13:18

to measure the teddies and the Angel of the North.

0:13:180:13:21

There were loads of sounds to keep me busy.

0:13:210:13:24

I had to listen out for Tanuka when she was far away in the park.

0:13:240:13:30

We've had a bit of an easy day, haven't we, Bud?

0:13:300:13:34

Yes. But I've still had a fabby time.

0:13:340:13:37

Well, that was great fun. I hope you've had a sensational time too.

0:13:440:13:49

Bye!

0:13:490:13:51

ALL: Bye!
