Welcome back, Smartypants! 👋
Today we’re shrinking down for a microscopic adventure to explore one of the tiniest — and most important — mysteries of all… germs! 🔬✨
In this action-packed episode, Emma visits Dr. Rob’s lab and takes a peek through his microscope. But when she wonders what it would be like to shake a germ’s hand… things get SMALL. With the help of Dr. Rob’s shrink ray and their super-speedy Germ Glider hovercraft, they zoom into the human body to discover what germs really are — and whether they’re truly as bad as we think!
Inside, they surf through sneezes, dodge invading bacteria, meet friendly gut microbes, and watch white blood cells battle it out like microscopic superheroes. All thanks to an awesome question from our friend Leah! 🧫🚀
