More than half of the human body is made of water. We simply cannot live without it! Water carries oxygen and nutrients throughout our bodies, keeping us healthy and energetic. Water keeps our bodies at the right temperature, not too cold and not too hot. So, we need to drink lots of water every day to survive. However, only a small fraction of the water on the planet is safe to drink. In this episode of N'Gen, we look at every kind of water, from dirty puddles to saltwater, and find out how to test whether it is safe to drink or not. Get ready for some cool experiments you can do at home that show how to remove dirt, salt, and bacteria from water to make it pure and clean enough to drink. Water is the stuff of life, so make sure you know what you are drinking!

Every time you switch on a light or charge a device, you are using electrical energy. It makes the modern world move! Unfortunately, most electrical energy is produced from fossil fuels, such as petrol and diesel, which are expensive and very harmful to the environment. In fact, fossil fuels are one of the main causes of climate change, but we keep on using them because humans are hungry for energy! The good news is that scientists have been developing other ways to generate electrical energy, using natural resources that will never run out and that do not contribute to climate change. We call this sustainable energy. On this episode of N'Gen, we visit a Ugandan power generator that makes energy from everyday food waste and a Kenyan wind farm that converts wind into electricity. Join us on a mission to find out how we can make energy without destroying the environment.

It's all around you, and you can't live without it, but you can't see it, smell it, touch it, or taste it. We are talking about air! Air is composed of different natural gases, which are essential for life on this planet. However, humans are pumping man-made gases into the atmosphere and polluting the air around us. We visit a laboratory in Uganda where scientists have developed a device for measuring how clean the air is and whether it is safe for us to breathe. We also look at simple things you can do to help keep the air clean. A visit to the mechanic can make your family car better for the planet. Saving energy in your home and cooking with the right kind of fuel can also make a big difference to air pollution. Watch this episode of N'Gen to find out why clean air is so important for your health and the future of the planet.

This is where we learn to live in such a way that there's enough clean water, fresh air, and healthy land for everyone to live in peace.

This is where we learn how to live together in peace and harmony. And the best way to do that? Make some noise and build a good fence!

This is where we learn how to be good neighbors by remembering that we shouldn?t force animals to change their ways just because we?ve changed ours.

This is where we learn how to guess the weather by looking at the sky, listening to the wind, and measuring the amount of rain. We even discover what causes it to rain!
