Ready Ready set go one one two three the
ba*ls falling
out you like the ba*ls falling
out today we're going to show you how to
mold gelatin into Fun shapes sent To Us
by Tony h of Jacksonville Arkansas the
ingredients you'll need are oranges cup
of cold water cup of hot water and
gelon all right first what you do is you
take an orange and you cut it in half
and then scoop out the inside so it
looks like this you could save the
insides for later to eat then you make
your gelatin like it says on the box you
pour it in with hot water so a half2 cup
of hot
water and mix it together so that the
little particles dissolve I'm using blue
Jello my mom doesn't like blue
foods and once all the particles are
dissolved you pour in your cold
water and mix a little
more the cold water is in there so that
it'll chill better in the
refrigerator okay once you're
done you take your spoon and pour the
juice into the
orange
and oh it tastes
good all right once you have that
done you go to the
refrigerator and put them in
overnight
and they'll look like this when you're
done
and then you slice them into little
sections like this like a real orange
you could use all different kinds of
fruits like watermelons cantaloupes or
even lemons but you can't use an apple
because that has a thin skin and it
would all BL you know and now I'm going
to do my favorite part
[Applause]
[Music]
here's a Zinger from Gwen g of Oak Park
Illinois add five lines to this to make
nine okay okay let see five lines for
that to make
nine
okay one two three 2 3 four five six so
there's six of
them so so add one right
here so that's seven
seven 6 s we need two more I guess so
seven no8 n but
then okay there's
seven think can we go diagonally I don't
know but it doesn't say and it doesn't
say that you it's nine lines either so
it could be like nine the shape that's
kind of hard yeah n
the there's 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 n but you
have to add five lines wait a minute I
think I have it
three that was one right one yeah
two
three
four five no I think I've got it here
ready six lines 1 2 3 4 5 six now it
never said it had to be line so it could
be the word
nine now if we
went
one then that's an end oh my God 2 3 4 5
nine ah that cool wow that was good

[Music]
[Music]
thing hi I'm Wy Beckman and I'm 12 years
old and my favorite hobby is
[Music]
butterfly I raised monach caterpillars
and monok is my favorite kind of
butterfly I think they're most
interesting because there're they can
fly thousands of miles all the way to
Mexico this is the place where I raise
my
butterflies in back of me is my
butterfly
shed now this is where I keep all my
butterflies I fig they need a bigger
place where they can fly around more
than a little box so I turned our shed
into a butterfly
Shack these are old screens for my
windows that we have in the house so I
use this and this is a
door and this is just the area where
they can
fly and of course these little guys can
really get out of the place so I had to
be
careful you know where IID find the
caterpillars in my own backyard
right here is what I'm looking
for I find monarch caterpillars on milk
plants and watch them grow from
Caterpillar to a
crysalis in about 2 weeks they emerge as
a beautiful monarch
[Music]
butterfly I always release them but
first I studi them in my shack this
right here is Missy and this one's
King cuz um Monarch means
king welcome to the Butterfly Place the
place that inspired me to build my own
butterfly
Shack it's like a giant Greenhouse where
you can see hundreds of living
[Music]
butterflies I just think butterflies are
so magical they're so beautiful and
they're So Graceful when they fly they
just Glide
[Music]
[Applause]
along I think my Jack's pretty good
because um I mean I built it
myself and I'm pretty proud of what I
did and it's just a smaller version of
The Butterfly
[Music]
[Music]
Place here's a poem from Anna G of
Brooklyn Massachusetts called what's out
there I look up through the trees to the
veil of the leaves that are blocking the
light I wonder I wonder I Wonder Don't
You See Is there someone out there
wondering like me go go Reach for the
Stars answer the questions that are
asked near and far are there aliens out
there does the Blackness never end where
the universe ends how come no one's
answering the questions that I ask no
one knows the answers to the questions
that I ask ask I look up through the
trees through the veil of the leaves
that are blocking out the light I look
up to the deep dark NeverEnding night I
wonder I wonder I Wonder Don't You See
Is there someone out there wondering
like me is there someone out there
wondering like me
[Music]
[Music]
okay ready to zoom along Megan a of
Andrew South Carolina sent us this idea
for making a flying saucer out of two
paper plates and some tape first take
two of your plates and place them on top
of each
other then take small pieces of
tape and put them on some sides you
don't have to put them around the whole
thing
put them opposite each
other and on the
sides then you want to throw with the
flick of a wrist the reason you throw
with a flick of a wrist is so that the
plates Spin and that makes it go faster
and farther if you just throw it it
doesn't go too
far also the shape of the plate makes it
Fly better the air current on top of the
plates is faster and that makes it rise
up now go outside and experiment with
this idea if you have any interesting
new designs send them to
[Music]
zoom check out this Zinger sent to us by
vij G of shamberg Illinois see if you
can tell why we call it caveman you mean
cave person all right sure cave person's
fine all right well I'm going to teach
you guys and Pablo and Zoe how to do the
pattern for cave person that's I like
it all right first you take your fists
like this and you hit your chest twice
punch punch punch punch punch all right
then you take your hands like this and
you hit them against your tap them
against your chest plate backwards yeah

tap tap punch punch all right easy think
you got it all right now what you do is
after you punched
twice you pull out your arms like
this okay so let's put that all together
punch punch tap tap punch punch out okay
all right all right is that it yeah then
right after you're out please it's not
it like yes it is it no it's not that's
it so far that's it that's the end then
this is kind of hard what you do is you
take your hands in and punch again twice
just once and right away after that you
tap so so punch tap all right all right
you guys want to start yeah that is all
okay from the beginning except for the
no now all right guys we're doing it all

Bubby
wub remember when we showed you how to
make this water wheel go duck go well
lots of kids that tried to make one of
their own kids from Tupelo Mississippi
thought up some great designs for water
Wheels using different sized cartons
Noble made his using one quart three
quart tops and one pint siiz milk
carton Sarah's water wheel was made by
cutting a half gallon orange juice
container in half and taping four flaps
on it Jo's looked really different he
used two half gallons and one pint size
carton which design do you think will
lift the most stuff and why let us know
so we can share your ideas later on Zoom
