Super scientist Nina and her young Experimenters travel the UK and Europe in search of amazing structures. With the help of Nina's five animated sense Neurons, they explain how and why construction works and what makes buildings and structures so brilliant.

Nina investigates how piers are built, with the help of Ollie, her smell neuron.

They conduct an experiment to explain why piers stay strong in the salty air and sea. Show less
