-ALL: Hello! -Hello, everyone! | 0:01:08 | 0:01:10 | |
Do you know, I'm really hungry today and it's ages until lunchtime. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:14 | |
So I've decided to make myself a snack | 0:01:14 | 0:01:17 | |
and it's going to be my favourite. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:20 | |
Can you guess what it is? | 0:01:20 | 0:01:22 | |
Corn. That's right. I'm going to make popcorn. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:26 | |
I love popcorn for two reasons - | 0:01:26 | 0:01:28 | |
one because of its fantastic taste | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
and because you use all your senses when you make it. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:35 | |
Have you ever seen popcorn before it's cooked? | 0:01:35 | 0:01:38 | |
Look at this. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:40 | |
They're really small round balls and they feel hard to the touch. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:45 | |
Now let's get some into the machine. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:48 | |
That should be plenty. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
In like that. Time to turn the machine on. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:56 | |
MACHINE WHIRRS | 0:01:56 | 0:01:58 | |
Now this is my favourite bit. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:01 | |
Listen really carefully cos we'll start to hear something soon. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:05 | |
NINA LAUGHS | 0:02:06 | 0:02:09 | |
The popping sound always makes me laugh. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:13 | |
If you look really closely you can see | 0:02:14 | 0:02:17 | |
the small balls of corn turning into the fluffy popcorn. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:22 | |
The smell's coming out as well. It reminds me of the the cinema. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:26 | |
MACHINE STOPS | 0:02:26 | 0:02:27 | |
I think it's ready. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:29 | |
What a great workout for all five senses. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:32 | |
I started with touching the corn before it went into the machine. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:36 | |
Then I heard it popping as it cooked. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:39 | |
Then I could see the small round balls change into fluffy popcorn. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:45 | |
Then we could smell the fabulous aroma of it cooking | 0:02:45 | 0:02:49 | |
and finally, we get to use our sense of taste | 0:02:49 | 0:02:52 | |
when we enjoy eating it. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:54 | |
Mmm. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:56 | |
-APPLAUSE -Aw! Thank you. Thank you for coming | 0:02:56 | 0:03:00 | |
and I'll see you all again soon. Bye! | 0:03:00 | 0:03:03 | |
ALL: Bye. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:04 | |
BEEPING | 0:03:04 | 0:03:06 | |
Oh, I hear a beep, I see a flash I wonder what they're going to ask. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:11 | |
KEYPAD BEEPS | 0:03:13 | 0:03:16 | |
-Hi, Nina. -Hi, Nina. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:18 | |
Hello. What's your question? | 0:03:18 | 0:03:20 | |
John wants to know... | 0:03:20 | 0:03:22 | |
..why does Uncle Bobby put so much salt in his soup? | 0:03:22 | 0:03:27 | |
Great question, John. You want to know | 0:03:27 | 0:03:29 | |
why your Uncle Bobby puts so much salt in his soup. I'll find out. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:34 | |
-Bye! See you soon. -Bye! See you soon. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:36 | |
I think we'll need help to answer this. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:39 | |
And I know just who to ask. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:41 | |
OK, Neurons, time to get to work. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:44 | |
ALL: Neurons at the ready, Nina! | 0:03:59 | 0:04:01 | |
Today's question is - why does Uncle Bobby put so much salt in his soup? | 0:04:02 | 0:04:07 | |
Which Neuron can help us find the answer? | 0:04:07 | 0:04:10 | |
-ALL: Me! Me! Me! Me! Me! -Me! | 0:04:10 | 0:04:14 | |
Will it be fabulous Felix? | 0:04:14 | 0:04:16 | |
I can help so very much if you need the sense of touch. | 0:04:16 | 0:04:20 | |
Will it be beautiful Belle? | 0:04:20 | 0:04:22 | |
I send messages brain to ear. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:24 | |
If there's a sound, I'll help you hear. | 0:04:24 | 0:04:27 | |
Will it be lovely Luke? | 0:04:27 | 0:04:29 | |
Looking and seeing, day or night, | 0:04:29 | 0:04:31 | |
I'll help you with your sense of sight. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:34 | |
Will it be awesome Ollie? | 0:04:34 | 0:04:35 | |
If it's pongy or whiffy or you can't tell, | 0:04:35 | 0:04:38 | |
my messages help your sense of smell. | 0:04:38 | 0:04:41 | |
Or Baby Bud? | 0:04:41 | 0:04:42 | |
Sour, salty, bitter or sweet, | 0:04:42 | 0:04:44 | |
I'm your taste buddy whenever you eat. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:47 | |
BEEPING | 0:04:47 | 0:04:50 | |
-It's Bud! -Yippee! -CHEERING | 0:04:50 | 0:04:54 | |
ALL: Go, Bud! Go, Bud! | 0:04:55 | 0:04:56 | |
Go, Bud! Go, Bud! Go, Bud! | 0:04:56 | 0:05:00 | |
Go, Bud! | 0:05:00 | 0:05:01 | |
-Go, Bud! -Give me a taste of the action, Nina! | 0:05:01 | 0:05:05 | |
We're gonna investigate our tongues with taste experiments. | 0:05:05 | 0:05:09 | |
I think Bud is the perfect Neuron to help out. | 0:05:09 | 0:05:12 | |
OK, then. | 0:05:15 | 0:05:16 | |
Let's go! | 0:05:17 | 0:05:19 | |
Mmm? Let's start at the beginning. | 0:05:26 | 0:05:30 | |
Let me think... | 0:05:30 | 0:05:31 | |
Oh! That's it. We can start with our tongues! | 0:05:34 | 0:05:37 | |
-Hi, guys! -ALL: Hi, Nina! | 0:05:37 | 0:05:40 | |
I'm helping John and Sarah answer their question - | 0:05:40 | 0:05:44 | |
why does Uncle Bobby use so much salt in his soup? | 0:05:44 | 0:05:47 | |
Would you like to help us out today? | 0:05:47 | 0:05:51 | |
-ALL: Yes! -Brilliant. Well, follow me! | 0:05:51 | 0:05:55 | |
We're going to have a proper look at our tongues - | 0:06:01 | 0:06:05 | |
so stick your tongue out! | 0:06:05 | 0:06:08 | |
-Now tell me what you see. -It's got white dots on it. | 0:06:08 | 0:06:13 | |
-Is it rough or is it bumpy? -Bumpy. | 0:06:13 | 0:06:16 | |
-What's underneath like? -Smooth! -Smooth! | 0:06:16 | 0:06:19 | |
Oh, yes, the top is bumpy but underneath feels very different - | 0:06:19 | 0:06:23 | |
it's all smooth. | 0:06:23 | 0:06:25 | |
-Does anyone know why our tongues have those bumps? -I don't know. | 0:06:25 | 0:06:29 | |
-Your taste buds live there. What are your taste buds for? -Tasting. -Yes! | 0:06:29 | 0:06:35 | |
And taste buds aren't just on our tongues. | 0:06:35 | 0:06:38 | |
You can also find them in your throat and inside your cheek. | 0:06:38 | 0:06:42 | |
-So who would like to play a game? -ALL: Yes! | 0:06:42 | 0:06:47 | |
We're going to play a guessing game. | 0:06:47 | 0:06:49 | |
Here we have three different size jars of peas. | 0:06:49 | 0:06:54 | |
I want you to use your imagination and think they're taste buds. | 0:06:54 | 0:06:59 | |
The small jar has 100 taste buds in it. | 0:06:59 | 0:07:02 | |
The medium-size jar has 1,000 taste buds in it. | 0:07:02 | 0:07:06 | |
And the big jar has 10,000 taste buds in it. | 0:07:06 | 0:07:10 | |
If you have a look around the room, | 0:07:10 | 0:07:13 | |
you can see they're are pictures of the jars. | 0:07:13 | 0:07:16 | |
If you think the answer is 100 - run to the small jar. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:20 | |
If you think the answer is 1,000 - run to the medium-size jar. | 0:07:20 | 0:07:24 | |
If you think the answer is 10,000 - run to the picture of the big jar. | 0:07:24 | 0:07:30 | |
And the question - how many taste buds are we born with? | 0:07:30 | 0:07:34 | |
Three, two , one, go! | 0:07:34 | 0:07:35 | |
-Oh, so would you like me to tell you who the winners are? -Yes, yes, yes! | 0:07:37 | 0:07:43 | |
Nobody won because the answer is 10,000 taste buds. | 0:07:43 | 0:07:50 | |
But, guys, I still don't know why Uncle Bobby | 0:07:50 | 0:07:53 | |
puts so much salt into his soup. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:56 | |
I think it's time for me to meet Uncle Bobby. | 0:07:56 | 0:07:59 | |
In the town of Paisley | 0:08:04 | 0:08:05 | |
lives John, his sister Sarah, Uncle, Dad and Mum. | 0:08:05 | 0:08:09 | |
Today for one day only they are... | 0:08:09 | 0:08:13 | |
..The Experimenters! | 0:08:15 | 0:08:19 | |
-Hi, everyone! -ALL: Hi! | 0:08:22 | 0:08:25 | |
-Hello there, John! -Hello! | 0:08:25 | 0:08:28 | |
So you want to know why Uncle Bobby uses so much salt in his soup? | 0:08:28 | 0:08:32 | |
I'm here to do some experiments to find the answer. | 0:08:32 | 0:08:36 | |
Bud is waiting to help us as well. | 0:08:36 | 0:08:38 | |
BEEPING | 0:08:38 | 0:08:42 | |
Ready, Bud? | 0:08:42 | 0:08:43 | |
It's my big moment! Standing by! | 0:08:43 | 0:08:47 | |
Ready to send lots of messages. | 0:08:47 | 0:08:49 | |
So for this experiment it's a tasty time of testing our taste buds. | 0:08:51 | 0:08:55 | |
That's a tongue twister, isn't it? Try saying that quickly. | 0:08:55 | 0:09:00 | |
Tasty time testing our taste buds! Testy time tasting... | 0:09:00 | 0:09:04 | |
THEY LAUGH Oh, what a tongue twister! | 0:09:04 | 0:09:07 | |
We've got four drinks in front of us. | 0:09:07 | 0:09:10 | |
I'd like you all to have a sip. | 0:09:10 | 0:09:12 | |
Would John like a taste? | 0:09:14 | 0:09:16 | |
-Well? -Water. -Water. -Just water. | 0:09:16 | 0:09:19 | |
OK, now can you all close your eyes. | 0:09:19 | 0:09:22 | |
Nina wants them to ONLY use their taste buds. | 0:09:22 | 0:09:26 | |
If they can see they may use their eyes as well | 0:09:26 | 0:09:29 | |
and that'd ruin the experiment. | 0:09:29 | 0:09:31 | |
OK, everyone! You can have a taste of your water again. | 0:09:35 | 0:09:38 | |
-Tell us what you taste now. -Oh, that's water. | 0:09:40 | 0:09:44 | |
-Sarah? -It's orange. | 0:09:44 | 0:09:45 | |
-Dad? -Water. | 0:09:45 | 0:09:47 | |
-Uncle Bobby? -That's water. | 0:09:47 | 0:09:49 | |
Still water. OK, if you can close your eyes again for me, please. | 0:09:49 | 0:09:54 | |
SQUIRT! | 0:09:54 | 0:09:55 | |
Once again, open your eyes and have a drink. | 0:09:55 | 0:09:59 | |
-Mum, what does that taste of now? -Orange juice? | 0:09:59 | 0:10:02 | |
-There's a tang of orange juice. -Orange juice? | 0:10:02 | 0:10:05 | |
-Uncle Bobby, what can you taste? -Still water. | 0:10:05 | 0:10:08 | |
Everyone has tasted the orange juice in the water except Uncle Bobby. | 0:10:08 | 0:10:14 | |
Why don't we all close our eyes again? | 0:10:14 | 0:10:17 | |
We'll just taste it one more time. | 0:10:21 | 0:10:24 | |
BUD LAUGHS | 0:10:24 | 0:10:25 | |
Nina's playing a trick on Uncle Bobby! | 0:10:25 | 0:10:29 | |
She's putting loads and loads of orange juice into the water | 0:10:29 | 0:10:33 | |
to see if he can taste it now. | 0:10:33 | 0:10:35 | |
Open your eyes and taste. | 0:10:35 | 0:10:37 | |
-Uncle Bobby, what can you taste now? -I can taste...orange. | 0:10:40 | 0:10:44 | |
NEURONS: Hooray! He can taste it! He can taste it! | 0:10:44 | 0:10:48 | |
Finally, Uncle Bobby could taste it. | 0:10:48 | 0:10:50 | |
You guys tasted the orange juice with only a little in the water | 0:10:50 | 0:10:55 | |
but it took more for Uncle Bobby to taste it. | 0:10:55 | 0:10:58 | |
Remember I told you we're born with 10,000 taste buds, | 0:10:58 | 0:11:02 | |
well as we get older we start to lose them. | 0:11:02 | 0:11:05 | |
So Uncle Bobby may only have half the amount of taste buds Sarah does. | 0:11:05 | 0:11:11 | |
The question - why does Uncle Bobby put so much salt in his soup? | 0:11:11 | 0:11:16 | |
Mmm? I think we know the answer. We'll find out for sure at lunch. | 0:11:16 | 0:11:21 | |
Ah! Wow! A picnic! | 0:11:25 | 0:11:28 | |
What a great idea, Nina! | 0:11:28 | 0:11:30 | |
Ah, isn't this a perfect place for a picnic? | 0:11:30 | 0:11:33 | |
Em...what are you doing, Uncle Bobby? | 0:11:33 | 0:11:36 | |
Why's Nina saying that to Uncle Bobby? | 0:11:36 | 0:11:39 | |
Uncle Bobby's going to put salt in his soup - | 0:11:39 | 0:11:42 | |
too much salt's not good for you. | 0:11:42 | 0:11:44 | |
No, no, salt's not very good for you. | 0:11:44 | 0:11:47 | |
We need to find other things to make our food tasty. | 0:11:47 | 0:11:50 | |
You could try some orange juice. Pop some in. | 0:11:50 | 0:11:54 | |
Have a taste of that. | 0:11:54 | 0:11:56 | |
Mmm. Mmm. That's nice. | 0:11:56 | 0:11:59 | |
There's loads of other things you can use instead of salt. | 0:11:59 | 0:12:03 | |
We've discovered that it's our taste buds that help us taste things. | 0:12:03 | 0:12:08 | |
We're born with 10,000 of them so we can taste loads of different things. | 0:12:08 | 0:12:13 | |
But as we grow older, like Uncle Bobby here, | 0:12:13 | 0:12:16 | |
we start to lose some of them. | 0:12:16 | 0:12:19 | |
He can't taste his soup as well cos he doesn't have as many taste buds. | 0:12:19 | 0:12:23 | |
That's why he puts salt in his soup, so he can taste it better. | 0:12:23 | 0:12:27 | |
Oh, I'd better get back. I've had such a lovely day. Thanks very much! | 0:12:27 | 0:12:33 | |
-Have a lovely picnic. Bye! -ALL: Bye, Nina! | 0:12:33 | 0:12:37 | |
Bye! | 0:12:37 | 0:12:38 | |
# It's been a busy, busy day | 0:12:50 | 0:12:53 | |
# Questions, answers Experiments done | 0:12:53 | 0:12:56 | |
# We've all used our senses in so many ways | 0:12:56 | 0:12:59 | |
# Tell me, Neurons What have you done today? # | 0:12:59 | 0:13:02 | |
Well, I definitely worked the hardest today. | 0:13:02 | 0:13:06 | |
Nina showed Uncle Bobby how he can use orange juice instead of salt | 0:13:06 | 0:13:10 | |
to make his soup lovely and tasty. | 0:13:10 | 0:13:12 | |
Yeah, I was pretty busy. | 0:13:12 | 0:13:15 | |
There was lots of looking at those tongues and looking at those peas. | 0:13:15 | 0:13:20 | |
I was working hard too you know. | 0:13:20 | 0:13:22 | |
Those tongues felt rough on top and smooth underneath. | 0:13:22 | 0:13:27 | |
There were sounds to keep me busy. | 0:13:27 | 0:13:29 | |
There was lots of listening at questions and answers. | 0:13:29 | 0:13:33 | |
The orange juice made a funny skooshing noise when she put it in. | 0:13:33 | 0:13:37 | |
I was busy helping my little brother cos there was tasting to be done. | 0:13:37 | 0:13:42 | |
That was great fun. I hope you've had a sensational time too. Bye! | 0:13:50 | 0:13:56 | |
ALL: Bye! | 0:13:56 | 0:13:58 |
