Explore the human body from the inside out!
Meet the BrainBots: Nellie, Buzz and Gibbs! When school closes, these high-tech knowledge gathering robots come to life to find out as much information as they can for kids before the next school day starts. They can do some amazing stuff, too - think travelling back in time, shrinking all the way down to explore tiny spaces and getting where humans can’t…
Their goal this series? To find out as much as they can about the Human Body and all the cool stuff it can do, and upload their findings to the BrainBank - a big cloud where all that information is stored and shared to kids. Watch out for nostril hair, pizza and poop!
The Skeletal and Muscular Systems
Shrink down with the BrainBots to learn all about the skeletal and muscular systems. Don’t get stuck in the rib cage!
Maybe skeletons aren’t so spooky after all… The BrainBots are out of the classroom and shrinking all the way down to learn as much as they can about the stuff we’re made up of - the skeletal and muscular systems.
Join Nellie, Buzz and Gibbs as they head inside the body to see the skeleton and muscles at work. They’ll find out what the skeleton is for, how it changes from a baby to an adult and how it works with muscles to get us moving!
Test your knowledge at the end of the card to see how many BrainBank facts you can remember about the human body and its skeletal and muscular systems.

The Senses
Shrink down with the BrainBots to learn all about the five senses. Get those tastebuds ready!
The BrainBots are out of the classroom and shrinking all the way down to learn as much as they can about the senses that help us experience the world - taste, touch, sight, smell and sound.
Nellie loves turning her taste sensors on when there’s ice cream around - but how does it work for humans? Join Nellie, Buzz and Gibbs as they find out what the five senses are, discover what happens to make sure a human can taste their (all-important) ice cream, and learn a little bit of sign language!

The Circulatory System
Shrink down with the BrainBots to learn all about the circulatory system. Get ready to ride a water slide!
Hold on tight! The BrainBots are out of the classroom and shrinking all the way down to learn as much as they can about what gets our blood pumping - the circulatory system.
Join Nellie, Buzz and Gibbs as they stand right inside the heart and discover how it keeps us alive. Then, take a ride on a red blood cell to see what it does as it travels through the veins, arteries and capillaries!

The Immune System
Shrink down with the BrainBots to learn all about the (superhero) immune system. BrainBots assemble!
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s a white blood cell! The BrainBots are out of the classroom and shrinking all the way down to learn as much as they can about the cells that keep us safe - the immune system.
For one day only, join Nellie, Buzz and Gibbs as they head deep inside the body to investigate and become part of the superhero cells that fight germs. Viruses and bacteria are no match for the BrainBots!

The Digestive System
Shrink down with the BrainBots to learn all about the digestive system. From pizza to poop!
Pizza, anybody? The BrainBots are out of the classroom and shrinking all the way down to learn as much as they can about the organs that process our food - the digestive system.
Join Nellie, Buzz and Gibbs as they follow a piece of food from the mouth through the process of digestion, right through to it leaving the body. Warning - this one contains poop!

The Respiratory System
Shrink down with the BrainBots to learn all about the respiratory system. Watch out for nose hairs!
Where did the word lung come from? The BrainBots are out of the classroom and shrinking all the way down to learn as much as they can about the group of tissues and organs that allow us to breathe - the respiratory system.
Join Nellie, Buzz and Gibbs as they learn all about carbon dioxide, oxygen and the lungs. They’ll follow air on its journey through the body and jump up and down on the alveoli. They’ll even get cleaned by nose hairs!

The Nervous System
Shrink down with the BrainBots to learn all about the nervous system. The brain is the boss!
What’s the difference between a motor and sensory nerve? The BrainBots are out of the classroom and shrinking all the way down to learn as much as they can about the signals that control our bodies - the nervous system.
Join Nellie, Buzz and Gibbs as they investigate the brain, spinal cord and the large network of nerves that control the way the human body works. They’ll discover what each element does - and find out exactly what happens inside the body to make you move your hand away when you touch something hot!

The Organs
Shrink down with the BrainBots to learn all about organs. Did you know the human body has 78?
Did you know that your skin is an organ? The BrainBots are out of the classroom and shrinking all the way down to learn as much as they can about the things that keep our bodies working - organs.
Join Nellie, Buzz and Gibbs as they discover why the heart beats, what your lungs look like and how the brain controls everything. You’ll soon be telling your liver from your kidneys!
