How do ears work?
00:13:52 | Episode: 22 | December 7th, 2020
Thanks so much for listening to our podcast, WHO SMARTED? But here’s a silly question… HOW are you able to listen to it? With your EARS of course! But how do your ears work? How do three tiny bones in your ear help amplify sound and translate sound waves to your brain? And how/why does your hearing affect your balance? Get ready to hang out with the three smallest bones in the human body – The Ossicles – on today’s episode about Ears! Your kids will discover how 3 tiny ear bones, THE OSSICLES, work together to create sound. When your eardrum vibrates in response to sound, it causes these ear bones to move in response. This amplifies the vibrations in the fluid in your inner ear, which touches thousands of nerve endings, triggering electrical impulses your brain then turns into “hearing”. They will learn that the ear is also responsible for your sense of balance, which relies on there, tiny, liquid filled tubes in your inner ear – the vestibular system. And they’ll discover you are more likely to fall when you have a cold because being sick causes a disruption in the inner ear fluid, which leads to dizziness. So no tightrope walking when you have a cold – just like we tell our friend Terry Tightrope in the episode.

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.
