Nina and the Neurons

Get Sporty

Episode 1: Cycling

First broadcast: on CBeebiesLatest broadcast: on CBeebies

Super scientist Nina and her young Experimenters travel the UK in search of sporting wonders. With the help of Nina's five animated sense Neurons, they explain why sports people are so amazing and how we can all get out and get sporty.

Nina investigates why it feels like it's windy when we go fast on our bikes - with the help of Felix, her touch neuron.

Experimenters Charlotte and Lennon visit Nina in her lab and discover that when we move we push through the air and it feels windy. Next they visit the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome in Glasgow, and meet a cyclist to see how he pushes through less air when he cycles fast.

Finally, they do an experiment to find out why cyclists cycle in a line. Show less
