Let's discover together.

It's Science Wow!

Let's get three-dimensional and make cube bubbles.

First, we need to build our cube using some straws and crafting stems.

Look at this cube.

It has height, width, and depth.

It's three-dimensional.

Now we're gonna take this cube, and we're gonna dip it into the bubble solution, lift it out gently, and it forms a little square on the inside.

Set down your cube, and get another straw, and blow a bubble right on that little square.

We just created a cube bubble.

The bubble inside wants to be a sphere, but because of the surface tension, it connects to the edges of the cube we built, and it forms a 3-D cube inside.

I wonder if other 3-D bubble shapes could be created.

Give it a try.

And until next time, keep learning full steam ahead.

Arts and crafts?

Yes, please!

Let's Get Artsy.

We wear hats for many different reasons.

Sometimes it's to support a favorite team, or sometimes it's to keep warm, or sometimes it's just to be very, very stylish.

Sometimes in a work of art, a hat on a person or a character in a picture can give us a clue as to who they are or what they're doing.

The hat in this painting might serve more of a purpose.

Perhaps this hat is protecting the worker from the sun, as the worker is spending a long day in the field.

I have an idea for a special project.

I want to design a hat that is unique and original, something that no one has ever seen before.

Let's go to my drawing board.

I'll show you what I mean.

Come on.

I'm starting with some strips of colorful paper.

I taped two pieces together and measured them to the size of my head.

I'm taping some other pieces across and over so that I have a structure to my hat.

This will give me something that I can tape or glue other decorative elements to.

The theme for my hat will be art.

I mean, you know, I love art, so I might as well show people by wearing a hat that is all about art.

I'm drawing some art materials.

I've got a big pencil, paintbrush, and a marker.

And of course, I want to add lots of color and shading.

I want to have a frame that looks like a frame from a museum or something that would go around a painting, and in the middle of it, it will say the word "art."

So I'm gluing this nice piece of background paper over it, then I will write the word "art" on it and add lots of color and shading so that it also will stand out on my hat.

I'm going to cut everything out now so that all the pieces are separate.

And now I just need to figure out where they are going to go on my hat.

Ooh, this looks good.

I'll have the pencil and the brush on the sides of the frame and that will really help everything stand out.

I want to add a couple of other fun parts to my hat.

I'm curling some paper, and I'll add some curled paper to both sides of my hat.

When I wear it, I think the curls may even bounce and move around.

So that will just make my hat even more unique.

And here it is.

I'm wearing the hat.

This is so much fun.

I love that it shows how much I love art.

This is really great.

I wonder if my helper, Pencil, loves hats.

Hmm.

Let me ask her.

Pencil?

What do you think?

Oh, there you are, Pencil.

So, do you have a hat?

Look at my hat.

It's an eraser.

[ Pop ] Oh, wow.

You're right.

Your hat is an eraser.

I never thought about that.

My challenge for you this episode is for you guys to design your own hat -- to create a hat that is unique and original and tells us something about you.

In the meantime, well, I want to thank you for watching Sketch with Jeff and I'd to give a tip of the hat to you for being a great artist.

Take care and I'll see you soon.

Bye.

Zach: Jump, dance, play.

It's time to get active.

Let's move.

Today's step comes from breakdancing, and we're going to be covering a basic top rock, okay?

This is a really easy step, so I want everyone to follow along.

We're going to start off by hopping, feet together, hands coming up in this position on the one.

Then I want you to cross them over your foot, two.

Now that you've cross-stepped, I want you to bring your hands out just like this.

Good job.

Zach: Ready for some math that counts?

Count On.

Hi, everyone.

My name's Norah, and today, I'm going to use math to help me win a carnival game.

Have you ever been to a carnival or an amusement park and seen a game where you toss a ring into a teeny tiny container to win a prize?

Well, I'm going to use math today to figure out which size target is the easiest for me to hit with my ring, or cap in this case, and maybe I'll even win a prize.

Let's go.

I've drawn three different targets with chalk outside, and I know it's going to be the easiest for me to hit the biggest target with my cap today.

So how do I know which target is the biggest?

Well, just by looking at them, I can see that my triangle-shaped target over here is a lot smaller than my other two.

So I think I can rule that one out right away just by looking at it.

But my two rectangle-shaped targets, it's a little bit tricky for me to tell which one is bigger just by looking at them.

So I'm going to need to do some math.

We're going to figure out the area on each of our rectangles and then compare them to see which one's bigger.

Area is the amount of space on a two-dimensional object.

I can figure it out by measuring each side and then multiplying, using a tape measure or a ruler, but I don't have one of those today.

So I'm going to use this square, and I'm going to see how many of these squares will fit on each of my rectangles, and whichever one has the most squares is the biggest.

You can use a square piece of paper like this, or even just your hand to measure, but make sure you're using the same thing for both so you can compare.

Okay, so this target is a rectangle, which we know because it's a shape it has four straight sides and four corners at right angles.

To find the area of a rectangle, I'm going to start by measuring how many of my squares fit along the bottom here.

So I put this on the edge and then I'm going to make a line that comes up here... ♪♪ ...To divide my shape into columns.

So I've made -- I'm going to divide it into one and column two.

Okay.

Next, I'm going to do the same thing across the side of my rectangle to make rows.

So I'm going to start here and draw a line across one... ♪♪ ...two... ♪♪ ...three... ♪♪ ...four.

So now I can multiply my rows by my columns, or I can count.

I can multiply my two columns by my one, two, three, four rows to equal one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

So the area of this rectangle is eight squares.

Now let's do the same thing for this rectangle.

So I'm going to start at the bottom, measure against the edge by one square.

Draw a line coming up to make this column.

One, two, three.

I have three columns.

So now let's make more rows.

One... ♪♪ Two.

Okay, so again, I can either multiply my rows by my columns.

So one, two, three by one, two equals one, two, three, four, five, six squares in this rectangle.

So now that I know the area for both rectangles, I can compare -- six and eight.

Which one's bigger?

Eight.

So I know that this rectangle is my biggest target and the one I should aim for with my cap.

Now let's see if I can make it on the target.

Here we go.

Three, two, one.

I did it!

[ Children cheering ] And I got a prize, too!

See what size targets you can make at home.

Bye.

Co-Counselor Mia, all set?

You bet.

Let's get artsy.

Welcome back to Carnival Day on Camp TV.

Enjoying the ride so far?

While you were gone, I couldn't help but walk around the midway, check out the sights and smells.

[ Inhales deeply ] Mmm, funnel cake.

But my favorite part -- carnival games.

Lots to choose from with one thing in common -- a prize I want to win.

Nothing screams carnival like the ring toss game, milk bottle knockdown, or ping pong toss, but the game I love the most is skee ball.

Skee ball has been part of carnivals since the 1900s, and for it to last that long, there's just gotta be something special about it.

The goal is to get as many points as you can by rolling a ball up a ramp, over a hump, and into rings worth different amounts of points.

But why wait for the carnival to come to town when you can build something similar at home?

Here's something I like to make called Within my Walls Skee Ball.

Care to join me?

You will need a large cardboard box, some scissors, tape, a few balls, and two baskets or big bowls.

Just about any container large enough for the balls will do.

With the help of an adult, cut one of the short sides of your box so that it lays down flat.

This flap is the beginning of the ramp.

Next, take another piece of cardboard the width of the large box, and tape it to the side.

I'll put one piece of tape here.

♪♪ And a little one up here.

And another one here.

Just make sure to leave a little extra cardboard hanging over the edge.

You need it so the ball can jump into the baskets.

It's a little hard to explain, but you'll see what I mean in a minute.

Put two baskets behind the ramp, each worth different amounts of points.

The farther the basket, the more points it's worth.

I'm making the closer basket worth 50 points.

And the farther one will be worth 100 points.

To play, simply roll the ball up the ramp and try to launch it into the basket.

You can play against the clock or take turns with someone else.

Hmm.

I wonder if I can get 100 points in 10 seconds.

Let's see.

[ Clock ticking ] [ Crowd groans ] Yes!

[ Applause ] [ Crowd groans ] ♪♪ [ Crowd groans ] [ Buzzer sounds ] Yeah!

50 plus 50 equals 100.

I got 100 points.

Now, that's what I call keeping your eye on the prize.

Now it's time for you to roll along to your next few activities.

♪♪ Zach: A little birdie told me it's time to go wild.

Hi.

My name's Jo, and I'm an animal interpreter here at Memphis Zoo in Memphis, Tennessee.

Now, today, I'm going to be joined by one of my favorite animal friends, Shemp, the Bear Cuscus.

Hey, Shemp, I just wanted to tell everyone how cool your adaptations are, like your specialized feet.

Us humans have thumbs on our hands, whereas bear cuscus have something called a hallux on their back feet.

It makes climbing a whole lot easier.

Another super cool adaptation they have is a prehensile tail.

This means it's almost like having an extra arm.

They use it to help stabilize themselves since they live way high up in the trees.

They can even hang upside down from their tails!

Way better than me.

While they do have the word "bear" in their name, it's actually quite misleading.

They're not bears at all.

Shemp is considered an arboreal marsupial, similar to a koala.

Bear cuscus spend most of their time all the way up in the trees, and moms carry baby cuscuses in their pouch.

Bear cuscus are plant eaters, eating mainly leaves.

So in the wild, Shemp's relatives are super helpful for dispersing seeds in the islands of Indonesia.

When they eat the fruit, the seeds drop into the dirt.

The dirt then gets rained on and helps the new trees grow, creating new homes for all of the animals of the forest.

Have you ever seen a squirrel?

If you answered yes, then you've seen a North American seed disperser.

Squirrels spread seeds when they bury food, like acorns, that they're saving for later.

We're super lucky to have Shemp here in Memphis with us.

It's not very common to see them in the wild because they're so elusive.

But just because we don't see them or hear them doesn't mean they're not there and that they're not important.

Bear cuscus are losing their forest homes to palm oil farms.

Palm oil is a type of oil made from palm trees.

It's used in our everyday products like food, candy, makeup, and even our shampoo.

The best way we can help is to make sure that we're eating palm oil-friendly products.

So now that Shemp and I have helped you guys learn that bear cuscus have special toes that are like thumbs, they can hang from their tails, and that they're super helpful to their environment, you guys are basically experts.

Now you can help teach your friends how to help, too.

From me and my friends at the Memphis Zoo, we want to thank you guys for hanging out and listening.

Bye.

Zach: Arts and crafts?

Yes, please.

Let's Get Artsy.

Hi, my name is Spencer, and today, we're going to dive into ensemble puppetry.

Hey, Spencer, what is ensemble puppetry?

Glad you asked, Spencer.

Ensemble puppetry is when you have many puppeteers who perform one puppet together.

You can have two, three, four or more puppeteers who bring a single character to life.

Now, this is a technique that we use in lots of different kinds of puppetry, both on stage and in film and TV.

I'm going to show you how to explore puppeteering with a team.

We're going to turn you or someone you know into a puppet.

These are the materials.

A long sleeve shirt, some shorts, and some shoes.

It may also help to have some safety pins.

Find some friends and family to be your fellow puppeteers.

Hi.

I'm Veronica.

Hi, Veronica.

Hi.

Hi.

I'm America.

Hi, America.

They were just here.

Once you have your ensemble assembled, it's time to choose your star.

Okay, fine, fine.

Don't twist my arm.

I'll be the star.

Once you have your star... [ Ding ] ...it's time to put on the long-sleeved shirt.

Thank you, America.

Now it's important that the star puppeteer doesn't put their arms into the sleeves.

Now we'll bring out the shorts.

What a reveal.

Now the star puppeteer will hold those shorts in front of them to make the cute little puppet legs, like so.

So we have the long-sleeved shirt and the shorts, and now it's time for the shoes.

Oh, wonderful, thank you, America.

Now, America, as the foot puppeteer, will pinch the bottom of the shorts into the shoes.

Perfect.

And Veronica will puppeteer the sleeves as my arms.

So it looks like this.

In ensemble puppetry, each puppeteer has a very specific role.

So if I'm the foot puppeteer, I want to make sure that the character feels grounded.

I also want to make sure that it feels like the feet are connected to the rest of the body.

If you're the arm puppeteer, it's your job to follow the lead of the star puppeteer and to convince the audience that the arms and the body are one.

America and I will demonstrate for you.

Hi, great to see you.

Look over there.

You can hold the puppet sleeves in your palm like this, or you can pin the puppet sleeve to your own sleeve with a safety pin.

And if you're the head puppeteer or the star, then it's your job to give clear direction to the rest of your team so the other puppeteers can react and anticipate your next move.

Here's an example.

Oh, I'm just walking along, minding my own business and oh, my goodness!

Look at that.

It's a graduation cap.

Maybe it's for me.

I'll bend over.

[ Groans ] And I'll try it on.

Mmm.

[ Gasps ] Oh.

Oh, it fits.

I feel smarter already.

Now your team has everything you need to bring your character to life.

You can follow the personality of the star, or you can try out new personalities.

Play around with how you can transform your character just by moving the clothes.

Can you dance?

Can you fly?

Can you play an instrument?
