Learn how blood has inspired myths about immortality and healing, while modern science begins to uncover its true functions and potential. This video is excerpted from BBC’s The Wonderful World of Blood, in which Dr. Michael Mosley carries out six experiments on his own blood, from starving it of oxygen to injecting it with snake venom.
Since 2022, many big restaurant chains in the UK have started showing calorie counts right on their menus. It only takes a small amount of space, but it’s sparked a lot of opinions.
Some people think it’s really helpful. If you’re trying to understand what you’re eating or make choices that fit your goals, seeing the numbers can make things clearer. It can also help people eat out with friends without feeling like they’re totally guessing.
But others say it can have a downside. For some people, especially those who already feel stressed about food, seeing calorie numbers can make meals feel less enjoyable or even a bit stressful. Instead of focusing on taste, sharing, or just enjoying food, it can shift attention to the numbers.
Research suggests that calorie labels might slightly change what people order — by about 2% fewer calories on average per meal. That’s only a small difference per meal, but over time, small changes can add up.
This video playlist brings together 10 fascinating clips from the BBC’s Got Science? series, where everyday questions lead to surprising scientific discoveries. Students explore what’s really happening in the body and brain — from what your brain is doing during sleep paralysis to what it truly means to be “left-brained” or “right-brained.” They’ll investigate what happens when the body becomes dehydrated, how cold temperatures and high altitudes affect how we function, and the unexpected ways our bodies trick us every single day. Packed with “What! Really?” moments, this weird-but-wonderful playlist helps learners connect real science to daily life in unforgettable ways. Get ready to see the familiar become fascinating.
Explore the five senses like never before! Dive into 10 fascinating BBC videos from shows like Got Science? and Secrets of Skin that uncover the amazing science behind how we see, hear, smell, taste, and touch. Students will discover why food tastes different on an airplane, how smell involves more than just the nose, why our eyes make emotional tears, how sound can change flavor, and how fingertips and smell receptors send powerful signals to the brain. It’s a fun, surprising look at the hidden connections between the brain and our everyday experiences.
In How Cold Affects Your Body’s Defenses, host Harith Iskander explains how cold temperatures can impact your body’s ability to fight off infections. When you’re cold, the blood vessels constrict, reducing blood flow to certain areas of the body. This process can weaken the immune system, making it easier for viruses, like the common cold, to take hold. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Got Science?, a science magazine series that explores and explains science in everyday life.
In The Impact of Screens on Our Vision and Memory, host Harith Iskander explores how smartphones and other screen devices are affecting our eyes and memory. When we hold our phones close to our faces, it strains our eyes and can cause them to become more elongated, leading to vision problems like myopia (nearsightedness). Additionally, overusing technology can also impact how the brain stores and processes information.

The article "The Gender Pain Gap: Why It’s Time To Take Women’s Health More Seriously" from BBC's Science Focus discusses the disparities in how women's pain is treated compared with men's. Women often face longer wait times for diagnoses and treatment, and their pain is frequently dismissed or misunderstood.
In Can We Overcome the Stigma Around Mental Health?, host Radzi Chinyanganya highlights initiatives aimed at addressing mental health in schools in Nigeria and New Zealand. These countries have made strides in encouraging open conversations about mental health, a topic that has historically been stigmatized in both regions. In Nigeria, mental health issues were often overlooked or suppressed, and in New Zealand, a high youth suicide rate prompted the need for action. This video is excerpted from BBC’s My World, a program created for teenagers eager to learn more about the important stories shaping our world.
The article "Everything You Need to Know About Microplastics" from BBC's Science Focus explores the origins, distribution, and impacts of microplastics. Experts Dr. Laura Foster and Thomas Stanton discuss how these particles enter ecosystems, their effects on wildlife and potential human health risks, and suggest measures individuals and governments can take to mitigate the problem.
