Hey.

[ Nervous laugh ] Hi, campers!

Are you early or am I late?

[ Suspenseful tune joins ] No worries, no worries.

It's all good.

No, really, it's all good.

Please let it be all good.

So, I bet you're wondering, "Hey, Zing, what day is it today on 'Camp TV'?"

And believe me when I say I am just bursting with excitement to share it with you.

I just need a teeny, tiny bit more time to get things under control.

I mean, prepared.

That's right, prepared.

[ Laughs ] So, if you could just give me a few more seconds.

As I was saying -- There's really nothing to see behind this door.

I've got it under control.

Oh!

Oh, no, look out!

Guess I used a tad too much bubble solution.

Whoa, whoa!

[ Laughs ] Welcome to Bubble Day on "Camp TV."

Whoo-hoo!

[ Laughs ] This is fun!

Ready for some math that counts?

-Did somebody say Bubble Day?!

I thought so.

[ Chuckles ] Well, I just so happen to have some [ Rattling ] [ Singsong ] bubble gum!

It's a lot in here, isn't there?

I think we should count it.

Have you ever counted by groups of five?

It's actually quite neat.

It has this cool pattern where each group will end in either a 5 or a 0.

A 5 or a 0.

Watch this.

5, 10 -- there's that 0, 15 -- there's that 5, 20!

There's that 0.

25!

There's that 5!

[ Mellow tune plays ] Somebody just said it.

30!

There's that 0.

Yes, somebody just said it!

35!

There's that 5.

See?

the pattern is just 5, 0, 5, 0, 5, 0.

We can do that.

Normally... [ Rattles ] ...it would take a while to make groups of 5, but I have this really cool thing that I'd like to use today called a bubble gum tray.

No, it's really not called that, but that's what I'm calling it today.

It's actually an ice tray.

Yeah, it's used to make ice, but not today.

We're going to make groups of 5 in the bubble gum tray... ...which is really an ice tray.

Let's do it.

Come on.

Lid off!

Well, just to make sure I have enough space for all my gum, I'm going to use two trays.

I'm trying to pour my gum out carefully so that the pieces don't go rolling away, like those few just did.

Yikes!

I love how they don't go in perfectly because then I can have a really good time spreading them out.

Once it's nice and flat, you can see that each part holds exactly five pieces of bubble gum.

Alright, friends, I'm going to need your help because, now, it's time to count.

Whew!

Whoa!

We hit 100 already?

Mm, should we give up?

No way!

The pattern really keeps going on.

Watch!

105, 110, 115.

Do you hear it?

5, 0, 5, 0.

So, let's keep counting.

Alright, take a deep breath.

Here we go!

Okay, it was really cool counting my 140 pieces [ Rattling ] of bubble gum with you guys.

-A little birdie told me it's time to go wild.

[ Ethereal tune plays ] -We have a ton of incredible species here at the South Carolina Aquarium, but probably the most unique is the horseshoe crab.

Here are 5 cool facts!

about them.

Horseshoe crabs have blue blood.

And that blood contains special cells that can help fight infections, not only for the horseshoe crab, but for humans as well.

Horseshoe crabs are experts, when it comes to sight.

They have ten eyes located all around their body and some of those eyes act as light sensors.

When horseshoe crab babies are hatched, they are the size of your fingernail and they will continue to grow to up to the size of a dinner plate.

Horseshoe crabs are not actually crabs.

What?!

[ Laughs ] In fact, they aren't even crustaceans.

They lack antennae and they are more closely related to scorpions and spiders.

If they lose a limb at a young age, they can grow it back after they molt.

Horseshoe crabs can molt up to one to two times per year.

[ Whimsical tune plays ] [ Theme plays ] -Take a breath.

Take a moment.

It's time for... [ Mellow tune plays ] -Hi, I'm Kira Willey.

I'm glad you're here to breathe with me.

Sit tall and pick up your candle.

Take a long breath in and blow softly toward your candle.

Watch the candle flame wiggle, but don't let it go out.

Take a long breath in.

Softly blow toward your candle.

Don't let it go out.

Once more.

Big breath in.

Blow out your candle.

Candle breath can help us feel calm and peaceful.

-Mmm!

-Hey, guys, it's Zoe and welcome back to another episode of "Kids Cooking with Zoe."

Today we're going to be learning that simple thing you need to learn in life -- eggs.

More specifically, my dad's famous cheesy eggs, and here's the ingredients you need.

[ Whimsical tune plays ] ♪♪ First thing we're going to do is crack the eggs and whisk them until the yellow part and the white part is blended together.

[ Chuckles ] ♪♪ ♪♪ Now, we're going to melt the butter with the heat between 6 and 7 and use a wooden spatula to spread it around.

♪♪ ♪♪ Now that the butter's melted, we're going to pour the eggs in.

♪♪ Now, we're going to begin our scramble process, which reminds me of a new dance -- the scramble.

♪♪ ♪♪ Now, we're going to put the cheese in it and continue to scramble it.

♪♪ ♪♪ Now, we're going to let my professional taste tester and my special guest taste tester to try the eggs.

But before that, I'm going to tell you something.

You can use whatever cheese you want.

I used mozzarella because... it's pretty good.

[ Chuckles ] And you can use as much cheese as you want, yeah.

You can have them super cheesy.

Deluxe cheesy.

Okay, buddy.

[ Laughs ] -Mmmmm.

-Mmm.

-Mmm.

Well, they like it.

Rating from 1 to 10, from both of you.

[ Laughs ] Okay, well.

-Welcome back to Bubble Day on "Camp TV."

Who's ready for a Zing Challenge?!

[ Laughs ] Me too!

I'll have 15 seconds to blow a bubble across and through that hoop.

The only way I can guide it, though, is with my breath.

If the bubble pops before it makes it through the hoop, I have to go all the way back to the beginning and start all over again.

Ooh!

Okay, deep breaths.

You got this.

[ Beeping ] [ Whimsical suspenseful tune plays ] Aah!

♪♪ [ Buzzer ] [ Clapping ] Yay!

Yes, I did it!

I'm practically floating!

And now, it's time for you to be blown away by your next activity.

Arts and crafts?

Yes, please!

-I'm really excited to see you.

I'm really excited today also because I'm reading a book about comics.

I love comics.

Why?

Well, let me show you.

Usually, comics tell a story through a combination of words and pictures and when they come together... [ Shimmering tune plays ] ...they become comics.

There are so many different types of comics.

There are funny comic books, superhero comic books.

There are longer stories, called graphic novels.

I love the comics in newspapers.

And, of course, now, you can find comics on any device, over the Internet.

There's really something for everyone.

So, what do comics have to do with art in the Guggenheim Museum?

Well, there are more connections than you might think.

Let's take a look.

This is a letter that the artist Vincent Van Gogh wrote to a friend and when I look at it, I'm reminded that artists have been combining words and pictures for as long as there have been words and pictures.

And no, this isn't a comic.

But, just like in a comic, the words and pictures really tell the whole story.

I would love to make my own comic.

Let's do it together.

Come on over to my drawing board and I'll show you what I mean.

Come on.

Alright, I've already started by drawing three panels on my paper.

Those are the different rectangles in a comic.

I try to leave an even space between and around the panels.

I'm going to make a comic about my friend Pencil.

I love meeting her at the museum, but sometimes we get lost, so, maybe that could become a story.

I start by lightly sketching what's going to go in each panel.

I have to think about how this short story will have a beginning, a middle, and an end.

In the beginning, Pencil's going to be looking for me.

She can't find me.

And then she's going to see me in the Guggenheim Museum.

And then in the third panel, we finally find each other.

I'm adding a thought bubble to the first panel because Pencil's trying to find me and she doesn't know where I am.

I'm sure to write the words, first, before I draw the bubble, so that I know I have enough room.

I try to make the words neat and straight and make sure that they're really clear and readable.

Next, I'm going to ink over my pencil, once I've drawn all of the pencil lines where I want them.

I've drawn them very lightly, so that I can erase them later, but I'm going over all of the lines with a permanent marker.

I have a thicker marker and a thin marker and I try to just carefully go over the lines that I want to keep.

That's why I drew lightly in the beginning.

To be able to erase them, I have to make sure that I didn't push down too hard in the paper.

I'm going to go over all of the lines, including the words, and just carefully make sure that things are where I want them.

This is how many professional comic book artists work.

They usually draw lightly with pencil underneath and then ink over their drawings.

And then when the inking is done, they'll erase the pencil lines underneath.

So, that's what I'm going to do.

I'm going over it with an eraser, so that the only thing left on the paper are my permanent lines.

Sometimes after erasing the pencil, I'll add a little more detail with my inking pens and then there's my story.

I see the beginning, the middle, and the end.

But now I think I'm going to add a little bit of color.

I'm just going to use some colored pencils and shade in some of the different areas to really make it feel like a finished comic.

I love the way the color has brought out the story and the characters and now I have a very nice memory of my adventure with Pencil in the Guggenheim Museum.

My challenge for you now is for you to create your own comic.

Think about all the things I showed you -- how to keep your panels straight, how to make space in between the panels, how to use words and pictures together.

You can create an imaginary story or maybe make a comic about something that really happened to you.

It's up to you.

I'll see you soon.

Bye.

-Curiosity and wonder.

Let's discover together.

-Are you ready to make some bubbles?

-[ Baritone ] I'm ready to make some bubbles.

-[ Sputters ] Water has something called surface tension.

We can see it when we put water onto a penny.

We can also see it when we make bubbles.

Soap added to our water gives it less surface tension.

Take your soap, put it into your water.

Then mix it up really well.

Get yourself a water bottle and cut off the bottom, just like this, so you have two openings.

Next, we're going to take a sock and put it over the bigger end.

Then take your container, dip it into the solution... ...and blow.

All of those bubbles are formed because the air is squeezing through the fabric and creating these little bubbles.

Until next time, keep learning full steam ahead.
