Nina and the Neurons: Nina and the Neurons: In the Lab: Noisy Foods is no longer available. Programmes are available for a limited number of days after broadcast. Why?
Scientist Nina and her young experimenters discover the amazing ways that things can change and react in the everyday world.
Nina investigates why some food is noisy with the help of Belle, her hearing neuron. Experimenters Emma, Bronwyn and Gemma visit Nina in her science lab and use their senses to discover that noisy foods feel hard and quiet foods feel soft. Nina does an experiment to see what happens when food is broken, discovering that noisy foods are hard and crunchy and break with a snapping noise. Then they make clay pots and find out that wet clay pots turn into hard clay pots when they are dried out in a kiln.
Finally, back in the lab, they do a final experiment which shows that noisy food can be made quiet by adding water, but the result doesn't always taste nice to eat.
