Get Sporty

Episode 6: Rugby

First broadcast: on CBeebiesLatest broadcast: on CBeebies

Superscientist 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 what sports players eat and drink - with the help of Bud, her taste neuron.

Experimenters Eyeshah and Samiyah visit Nina in her lab and discover that eating food gives us energy. Next, they meet some rugby players and see that they are different shapes and sizes. Then they find out why they eat lots of different things. Finally, they do an experiment in a really hot place to see why we get thirsty when we play sport. Show less
