Get Sporty

Episode 15: Basketball

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 certain balls are so bouncy - with the help of Luke, her sight neuron.

Experimenters Connor and Sarah-Louise visit Nina in her lab and discover what happens to a ball when it bounces. Next, they meet some basketball players and find out that it makes a difference if you bounce balls on a hard or a soft floor. Finally, they do an experiment to find out what's inside a basketball and why some balls bounce better than others. Show less
