ELINOR: "Speed Racer".

[Bird singing]

Hi, Elinor.

Morning, Dad.

[Bird singing]

Good morning, little bird.

[Humming]

♪ We're building a car,

we're building a car ♪

♪ Yes, we are! ♪

♪ Yes, we are! ♪

♪ We're gonna go far! ♪

♪ In our car! ♪

[Laughing]

Ah!

Wow!

Our car looks amazing!

It sure does, Ari!

And those are some cool

decorations, Olive.

Thanks!

Ooh!

That looks great, kids!

What are you going to call

your new car?

Umm...

The Rabbit Racer?

The Batmobile?

[Chuckling]

The Elephant in the Vroom-vroom!

[Giggling]

My dad likes silly jokes.

Yeah, my dad does that, too.

They're called dad jokes.

Do you think it'll go fast,

Mr. Rabbit?

Yeah, I want it to go super

fast!

I want to feel the wind in my

ears!

Shoom!

Well, there's only one way to

find out.

Are you going to take it for a

ride?

Yup!

We're going to ride it down the

little hill near here.

Okay!

Have fun, kids!

Don't worry, Mr. Rabbit.

We'll be extra careful!

Dads also like being extra

careful.

C'mon Ari, just a little

more.

Oh, this is a big hill.

Almost there, think happy

thoughts.

[Straining]

[Sighing]

That was hard work.

Okay, we're ready for our

first test.

Don't forget to buckle your

helmet!

Ready?

Ready!

Set?

Set!

BOTH: Three!

Two!

One!

Go!

Whee!

[Horn honking]

Coming through!

Whoa.

Hi, Camilla!

Hi, Elinor!

Hold on.

Whoa!

Your car is amazing!

Thanks!

It's brand new.

I got it for my birthday.

I call it The Camilla

Convertible!

Cool.

Your car is so fast, Camilla!

I love the yellow colour.

And look, it has a racing

stripe.

And a cup holder!

KIDS: Wow.

[Slurping]

Your car is nice, too,

Elinor.

Thanks, Camilla.

We made it ourselves!

But it's not going as fast as

yours.

I wonder how can we make our car

go faster?

Hmm...

Both of our cars have the same

wheels.

And we both went down the same

hill.

I wonder why Camilla's car is

faster than ours?

I know!

Maybe if we paint our car yellow

and draw a stripe on it like

Camilla's, our car will go

faster!

That is a great idea!

Let's take it back to your

house and make some changes.

Bye, Camilla!

Bye.

Okay, let's paint the car

yellow.

And add a stripe!

♪

There!

Very nice!

But why did you repaint your

car?

Well, Camilla has a fast car

and it's yellow.

With a racing stripe, just

like this!

We thought if we made our car

the same colour as hers, our car

might go faster too.

Oh, O-okay!

And now, to test it.

Bye, Dad!

[Chuckling]

Bye, kids.

[Straining]

This is a big hill.

[Bird singing]

Huh?

Whoa!

That bird is so fast!

I can't wait to see how fast we

go!

Yeah!

C'mon.

[Straining]

[Sighing]

Phew.

Ooh...

I have a good feeling

about this!

Our car looks so fast!

Ready?

Set!

BOTH: Go!

Whee!

[Honking]

Whee!

Aw, it didn't go faster.

What happened?

Hmm...

Painting our car yellow with a

racing stripe didn't make our

car go faster.

I really thought that would

help.

What else can we try?

Hmm...

Maybe it's the cup holder.

Her car has one but ours

doesn't.

[Slurping]

Let's put a cup holder in our

car.

Let's go!

♪

There, now our car has a cup

holder too.

I bet that's gonna make it

faster.

Let's go try it out.

Ooh.

Hi, little fishies!

Whoa, those are some fast fish!

I have a really good feeling

about this.

Our car looks super fast.

Woo-hoo!

Ready!

Set!

BOTH: Go!

Whee!

[Honking]

Whee!

Huh.

It still didn't go faster.

Adding a cup holder didn't

make the car go faster.

Hmm...

What else is different about our

car?

Wait a minute, I notice

something!

Our car is boxy, like this.

And Camilla's car is kind of

shaped like this.

Oh!

I see the difference.

You're right!

We need to change the shape of

our car.

C'mon, let's go back to my yard.

Okay, let's change the shape

of our car.

Are we sure this is going to

work?

Maybe we should think about

other things that move fast,

just to be sure.

[Birds singing]

Birds!

Birds are really fast!

[Birds singing]

Hmm...

Oh, oh, and fish!

Fish are super fast, too!

Wait a second.

Look!

They're all sort of the same

shape.

OLIVE: Camilla's car, the

bird, and the fish - they're all

pointy in the front and round in

the middle.

And they're all fast!

Oh, yes, that's called being

"streamlined."

It means it's easier for the air

to go around you, instead of

pushing you back.

So, things that are streamlined

can move through the air faster,

but boxy things get slowed down.

KIDS: Cool!

Whoa, that is so interesting!

Let's do it!

Let's make the shape of our car

streamlined!

♪ If a car is painted slick ♪

♪ But it's boxy like a brick ♪

♪ Then it just

won't go that quick! ♪

♪ So, with scissors

and some tape ♪

♪ We're gonna change its shape ♪

♪ 'Cause we learned

and now we know... ♪

♪ That pointy shapes

help you go! ♪

♪ Pointy shapes

help... you... go! ♪

Yeah!

Woo-hoo!

Now, it's a lot pointier.

It's like a bird car!

[Gasping]

You could call it...

The Chicken Coupe.

[Giggling]

[Giggling]

That's another dad joke.

A-cha-cha!

Hmm...

[All laughing]

Okay, let's go try it!

Go get 'em, kids.

[Wind gusting]

Ready?

Set?

BOTH: Go!

[Both laughing]

Yeah!

You did it, Elinor!

Now, the car you made is just as

fast as mine!

Yep, all because of its

pointy shape, which we learned

from nature.

It's streamlined!

Like a bird or a fish!

OLIVE: That was awesome!

ARI: You were so fast!

I wanna go next!

So cool!

Woo-hoo, zoom!

[Laughing]

ELINOR: Woo-hoo!

[All laughing]

So much fun!

Woo-hoo!

C'mon, let's go race!

[Ari trumpeting]

Let's sing a song about

speed.

Who knows what the word "speed"

means?

Speed is how fast or slow

something moves.

I can move fast!

You sure are fast, but you

might want to come back to hear

the song!

♪ Have you ever watched

a train rolling down the track ♪

♪ And looked at the shape

of its nose? ♪

♪ Scientist Eiji Nakatsu did

and this is how the story goes ♪

♪ Eiji helped design a

b*llet train ♪

♪ For people in Japan to ride ♪

♪ He looked for ideas

to make it better ♪

♪ By watching

the birds outside ♪

♪ He saw the diving

kingfisher bird ♪

♪ Its long and pointy beak ♪

♪ He decided to change

the b*llet train's nose ♪

♪ To be shaped like

a kingfisher beak ♪

♪ He got to choo-choo-choose

the shape of the train ♪

♪ And make the train

better than before ♪

♪ So, he used, used, used

the shape of a bird ♪

♪ And the train went

faster than before ♪

Once more!

♪ He got to choo-choo-choose

the shape of the train ♪

♪ And make the train

better than before ♪

♪ So, he used, used, used

the shape of a bird ♪

♪ And the train went

Whoa!

That song makes me want to go

fast!

Let's all go fast!

Follow me!

[All cheering and whooping]

Let's go!

ELINOR: "One of these Goats".

[Playful giggling]

CHILD: Yeah!

♪

[Kids cheering and whooping]

Do you see him yet?

Not sure.

We've never met him, so we don't

know what he looks like.

Good point.

What did Ms. Mole say?

She said we're going to have

a substitute teacher named

Mr. Hamster.

Hello there.

[Gasping]

That must be him.

Let's go meet him.

Hi!

Are you our substitute teacher?

That's me!

I'm Mr. Hamster.

We thought so.

Well, now that you know who I

am, I'd like to get to know who

you are.

I'm Elinor.

I like to learn all kinds of

things.

I think nature is so

interesting.

I ask a lot of questions.

I don't think you can ask too

many questions.

What do you think?

[Chuckling]

Well, I think it's very nice

to meet you, Elinor.

I'm Olive.

I like reading, especially my

nature book.

See?

[Gasping]

I have the same book!

It's nice to meet you too,

Olive.

And you are--

[Stammering]

Where did you go?

Over here!

I'm Ari.

And I can hang upside-down!

Hi, Ari.

[Giggling]

Whoa!

Ta-da!

[Giggling]

Bravo, bravo!

[Giggling]

Well, thanks for introducing

yourselves.

When you're new like me, it can

be hard to get to know everyone

and remember their names!

That's so interesting!

I've never thought about that.

How can you remember who's who?

Uh, well, umm...

I try to look closely and notice

what makes each of you

different.

For instance, you, Elinor, have

long white ears and like to ask

questions.

And you, Olive, have a lovely

long trunk and like to read your

nature book.

And Ari, you have wings and like

to hang upside down!

[Giggling]

Well, you can ask us if you

need any help remembering the

other kids in the class.

Oh, mm-hmm.

Yes, yes, yes.

Good morning, everyone.

I'll be your substitute teacher

while Ms. Mole is away.

My name is Mr. Hamster, and I

hope to get to know each of you

by the end of the day.

Hello there.

[Stammering]

Why don't I start with you two?

Hi, I'm Mary.

And I'm Lizzie.

BOTH: And we're the Goat

Twins.

Oh, well!

It's twice as nice to meet you.

They're identical twins.

That means they look exactly the

same.

But even though they're

identical, it's easy to tell

them apart.

Mary always wears a green dress.

And Lizzie always wears a

blue dress.

[Kids gasping]

Not today!

I got my green dress dirty.

So, she had to wear a blue

one.

So, today...

BOTH: We're super-duper

identical!

Hmm...

Oh, dear.

Oh, well...

[Chuckling nervously]

I'm going to do my best to learn

to tell you apart by the end of

the day.

Uh-oh.

Well, class, I have an idea.

I know an activity we can do

with paper and crayon, and when

we're done, you'll notice one

way that everyone is different

from each other.

Okay, done!

Ha!

I drew around you with the

crayon, and the shape looks

exactly like you, Elinor.

And this shape looks exactly

like you.

Very nice, Elinor and Olive.

That's called an outline.

See, everyone can tell who you

are because you're all a

different shape.

Uh-oh.

Hmm...

Is that Mary?

Uh, no, no.

Or is that Lizzie?

[Laughing]

Everybody else might be

different from each other.

BOTH: But we're exactly the

same.

Oh.

Um...

[Chuckling nervously]

Oh, no.

Let's help Mr. Hamster.

There must be some way that Mary

and Lizzie are different, so he

can tell them apart.

But they have the same

coloured eyes, the same coloured

hair, the same everything!

They're the same!

So, how do we tell them

apart?

Hmm...

[Gasping]

Look, a butterfly.

Huh!

And there's another one.

Look how colourful they are.

Butterflies are so cool.

Look at that.

They're the same.

They're identical, like the

Goat Twins.

Hmm...

Are they identical?

They're the same colours -

yellow and black.

And they both have spots on

their wings.

Hmm...

I wonder.

Do you have your magnifying

glass, Olive?

Sure do.

Thanks.

Huh!

That's so interesting!

One butterfly has smaller spots

than the other.

Oh...

So, they aren't identical.

No.

They just look identical at

first, until we looked more

closely and noticed that they

were different.

Hmm...

Are you thinking what I'm

thinking?

I don't know.

What are you thinking that I'm

not thinking?

If we want to tell Mary and

Lizzie apart, we have to look

more closely.

Yes, and see if there's some

way they're different.

Grab your notebook, Olive.

We need more observations!

Hmm...

Hi, Mary.

Hi, Lizzie.

Nope.

[Giggling]

She's Lizzie.

And she's Mary.

Wouldn't it be great if we

could find a way to tell you

apart?

You think you can?

How are you going to do that?

By looking more closely, like

Mr. Hamster said.

Maybe we'll see something

that we missed before.

Is it okay if we watch you

while you play?

BOTH: Sure!

Ready, Olive?

Ready.

This is Mary and...

this is Lizzie.

Okay.

Oh, they both have barrettes in

their hair.

And both barrettes are blue

with dots on them.

Wait a second.

Let's look more closely.

Huh.

Lizzie's barrette is blue with

dots.

And Mary's...

ARI: Is blue with stars!

They're different!

OLIVE: There!

Yes!

We just started looking closer

and we already found one

difference.

We need more observations!

[Gasping]

[Gasping]

♪

Cool!

We looked more closely and we

found three ways the Goat Twins

are different from each other -

their barrettes, their hooves,

and the size of their horns.

We did it!

Celebration dance!

Woop, woop, woop, woop!

I like to dance.

Not me.

I'd rather watch Mary than

dance.

Look at her go!

Mary likes to dance.

And Lizzie doesn't.

That makes four ways you're

different!

I can't wait to tell

Mr. Hamster!

Mr. Hamster, you were right!

Everyone is different!

A-ha!

How did you figure it out?

By observing the Goat Twins.

They look like they're

identical.

But if you look more closely,

you can find differences.

See?

Of course!

You know how?

By looking more closely!
