Each 15-minute episode of this show starts with Nina practicing an experiment or demonstrating an activity for her Science Show later that day.
Nina is then interrupted by a video message (on a tv screen in her lab) arriving, from a child. The child is asking Nina a question. She thanks the child for question and promises to come and help them find out the answer.
Nina then meets the child and family at either their home, or a suitable location to do a series of very simple experiments with them which will answer the child's question.
Once Nina receives the child's question, she states that she will need some help from the Neurons to help her with the answer. Nina selects one "neuron of the day" who will be most apt to operate the required sense relating to the question. However, all neurons will be involved in each program, as we do, of course, use all our senses for most daily activities.
The Nina and the Neurons website raises awareness of the the five senses and asks children to explore them in a humorous way. It does this by drawing on childrens' experience of the real world and the way that their body works.
A game set in Nina’s Lab is the main feature of the site. Within the Lab there are five mini games, each of which relate to a different sense and neuron. Once the child has completed the games, a bonus game is revealed as a reward.
