Nina and the Neurons, her five senses, enlist the help of three young engineers to discover why tall buildings don't fall down. They build block towers to find out about balance; visit a very tall building; learn how to find the balance points of different sized buildings; and understand how foundations and grip keep tall buildings from falling over.
