How does your immune system work?
00:12:30 | Episode: 20 | December 2nd, 2020
No one likes being sick. The fever, fatigue, and the nasty stuff that comes out of you is NO FUN! But how much of what happens to you when you’re sick is caused by GERMS, and how much is actually your body’s IMMUNE SYSTEM helping you? Take a journey with us into your IMMUNE SYSTEM on today’s super sick episode of Who Smarted? as we go to Club Gut to find out how it all works. Your kid will learn that having a fever is your body fighting off germs! By raising your body temperature, a fever heats and kills some germs and stuns and slows down other germs, buying time for your body’s immune system to attack them! They will also learn that different types of immune cells take different action, depending on what’s required: Some gobble up invasive bacteria, others emit antibodies that stop invaders from multiplying, while other inject germs with toxins that cause them to explode! And they’ll discover that when stuff comes out of either end of your body from being sick, that’s your body’s way of literally ejecting toxins from your system. So, as much as it stinks, it’s actually just your body doing its job. Some bonus info about your skin: Your skin is actually a part of your immune system, and is your body’s first line of defense. Besides being literal armor your skin cells also perform specialized functions that neutralize infections bacteria, so it is an active immune organ. All that defending against the environment takes its toll, and your skin sheds around thousands of dead skin cells every hour! That adds up to about 9 pounds of dead skin cells every year, so a family of four is shedding around 3 pounds of dead skin cells every month! So yes, though we can’t say MOST of the dust in your house is dead skin, it is definitely true that a large percentage of the dust in your home is actually dead skin cells. And that’s not gross at all… Nope. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How did mirrors come from volcanoes?
00:12:48 | Episode: 19 | November 30th, 2020
Mirror, mirror on the wall…why do I see my reflection at all? On this 12 minute episode of Who Smarted? our Evil Queen will learn how her Magic Mirror works, why we all look different in photos than in the mirror, the science behind how mirrors are made, and the surprising history of the first mirrors! Your kids will discover that the first mirrors were made from rocks – yes, rocks! Specifically obsidian, which is a shiny volcanic rock that can be polished to a glass-like finish. They will learn that modern mirrors are mostly made by spraying aluminum onto glass. And they will learn the reason your face often looks weird in photos is simply because you spend more time looking in mirrors, which flip your image. A photo is actually truer to what other people actually see — but because you rarely see yourself that way it ‘flips you out.’ Listen anywhere you get your podcasts including Apple Podcasts, Google,Spotify, Stitcher, OR at our siteWho Smarted?, where you can also get a FREE episode guide with more information and activities for the kids.

Why do some people pee when they laugh?
00:13:37 | Episode: 18 | November 27th, 2020
Laughter is a great way to release stress, bond with friends & family, and just have fun. It’s also why some people end up accidentally WETTING themselves! On this episode of WHO SMARTED?, we’ll visit a disastrous rehearsal of Romeo & Juliet — where the problem isn’t that Juliet forgot her lines — it’s that she has a bad case of the giggles and cannot stop LAUGHING. Your kids will learn how laughing can be a way to shield yourself from troubling emotions which is why people sometimes laugh at bad news, or when someone trips and falls. Of course, sometimes someone falling is just plain funny. They’ll also learn why laughing can sometimes make you lose control of your bodily functions! Because laughing causes a very fast contraction and release of abdominal muscles, it can actually confuse your bladder – making you pee! And they’ll learn that people are more likely to laugh in a group than alone – furthering the theory that laughing evolved partially as a way to bond people together — just like the Cavemen in today’s episode! And if you want to make more memories with your kids with fun after-episode educational activities, go to www.WhoSmarted.com and grab our free newsletter, which is chock-full of easy ways to keep the learning going.

What good is a sound wave if you can’t surf on it?
00:13:01 | Episode: 16 | November 23rd, 2020
Waves – we usually think of them as something we do when saying goodbye, or when we’re at the beach. But there’s a kind of invisible wave we interact with all the tie. Sound waves are always around us, and somehow our brain turns these pulses of pressure into what we call “hearing”. Come join our special guest Madame Sounds-a-Like on this journey into the world of sound.
