  • Why do car windshields get frosty in winter?

    In this episode we talk about how moisture in the air turns into frost in the morning as the temperature of air drops overnight. We also talk about the freezing point and melting point of water and other material. To melt ice and frost we can add a little bit of alcohol to the the ice. That lowers its freezing point and makes it melt. This is how the anti-frost spray works.

  • Why do we get itchy?

    The skin can feel different things like sharpness of things, or pain, or touch or itching. But the brain interprets what the skin is feeling. The nerves take the information about what the skin is feeling all the way to the brain. Then the brain uses that information to figure out if it’s pain or itching we are feeling.

    Some materials like wool make us itch. It depends how sensitive we are to wool. Itching is very helpful for our bodies to deal with things it doesn’t like. We itch so our brain can tell our body to do something about it, like move our arms to scare a mosquito on our arm.

  • Why do we get sick and what are vaccines?

    This episode is about viruses and bacteria and how we get sick. We talk about vaccines. We learn how vaccines are basically a small sample of the virus. The virus goes into the body and introduces the itself to the white blood cells, which are the way the body defends itself. Once the body learns about the disease it knows how to deal with the virus if it sees it in the future.

    The picture of the post is when President Obama got a vaccine to show that vaccines are safe. Here’s the link to that story: https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/blog/2009/12/21/president-and-first-lady-get-vaccinated
