early 2000s educational children's program with puppet Live Action TV

I would have been around 6-8 years old when I saw this program (so around 2007-2009, but I'm sure the show was made earlier than that). My Primary School teachers used to show it to us at school on those old T Vs with the VHS players that they'd wheel into the classroom, so it may have been on VHS unless they had a DVD player plugged in as well, don't remember sorry. The show consisted of documentary-style educational episodes and I think it was usually based around science. I'm pretty one of them was about magnets and mirrors? And I think there was another about sound, and they were using those whirly tubes that you spin around to make a 'hoooo' sound because I remember our teacher getting us to play with them too after watching it. From memory there were 2 hosts, a girl and a guy, and they had a 3rd host who was some kind of puppet or robot or something along those lines, and I'm pretty sure he was named "Why" or "Y" or maybe "Q" as in question, I think for sure it was a single letter though, not sure exactly but he was definitely named after something to do with how in the show they would be finding the answers to questions. I'm Australian but I can't remember if this was an Aussie made show— most likely though, and was probably shown on ABC if it ever aired. Thanks in advance
