Nina and the Neurons

Get Sporty

Episode 3: Football

First broadcast: on CBeebiesLatest broadcast: on CBeebies HD

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 we play football in a team - with the help of Luke, her sight neuron.

Experimenters Kingsley and Safiya visit Nina in her lab and discover that footballers play in a team, and that it helps if they make a plan. Next, they meet some footballers and see how they cover different areas of the pitch and pass the ball between them. Finally, they do an experiment to see why the goalkeeper is an important part of the team. Show less
