How can we start faster in a race? Nina and her helpers investigate in the lab.

How can we start faster in a race? Nina and her experimenters investigate reaction times in the lab, and find out why practice is so important.

How can we start faster in a race? Nina and her experimenters investigate this in the lab, with help from Belle the Hearing Neuron. They discover what "reaction times", are and why it's important to have a very fast reaction time when you hear the signal to start the race. Nina explains why practice can really help with this. After a run about in the park, the experimenters return with another question about jumping - "how can we jump further?". This time, they learn about momentum, and why a run-up to the jump can help you travel much further through the air.

Bring back the Lynx?

Series 1

BBC Scotland - Scotland’s Wildlife, Series 1, Bring back the Lynx?

Euan McIlwraith investigates the case for reintroducing the Eurasian lynx to Scotland.

Lynx once prowled the countryside here, and there are calls for the species to be reintroduced. But the proposals don't please everyone. Euan McIlwraith explores the debate.

The Eurasian lynx once prowled the Scottish countryside, and recently there have been calls for the species to be reintroduced. Conservationists say it could help the environment, because the lynx would help control the huge population of roe deer we now have. Roe deer are another indigenous species, and currently spend their days munching away vast areas of woodland, unbothered by any predators. Having lynx in the area, say supporters, would keep the deer on the move, and reduce their numbers. This would help the woodland recover, which in turn would be good news for other animals and plants.
