350 Boston Mass

02134 and we'll s send you the latest

edition of

[Music]

zomerang dear Zoom construct a boat out

of one square foot of tin foil place as

many pennies as you can in the boat

before it sinks try different designs

Dan h of Boston

Massachusetts let's get to it okay okay

pick

them I think doing design you're right I

haven't even started yet so I think we

should fold

like have have like maybe one small

piece of thin paper here or thin foil

here and then have the rest be the side

fold this up right

here this is good right here all

right here

one

two three four five six

7 8 9 10

11 on 11 12 how many you have there 15

16 17 18 19 20

21 that was a

failure okay I think this is good

because the water won't get in cuz it's

so far down yeah and

then it's tilt to one side that's okay

that's okay maybe once we put pennies in

it won't tilt anym no cuz see there's a

hole here so we don't want it to sink if

a hole's there and it's tilting to one

side the water will fill up in the hole

right correct the

mle ready put it in the water

one two

three four it's filling with water and

it's sinking two three four 5 6 7 8 9 10

11 12 it's

sinking these designs aren't working can

I make one yeah if we fold the edges

like

this

yeah hold up

man give me some time 11 12 it's filling

with water and

it's maybe if it's bigger maybe if it's

bigger the weight will be like since the

penni is way more maybe we shouldn't

really try folding it that much see I

think this is going to work because even

if it sinks a little the water won't

come over the

edges one 2 3 4 5 6 7 eight what if we

just laid it like

this do you want to try try it and then

if it doesn't if it doesn't work then we

can always just use that pie okay woohoo

all right

ready

one 2 3 4 34 35 36 37 38 39 43 44 45 46

47 37 38 39 65 66 67 68 and it's

thinking it's thinking it'sing 70 70 70

oh

no and it was

working all right maybe we should try a

different approach I think so too 78

I'll do some on the edges 7 no 79

because this one's falling 80 81 82 83

so what if we just took a square of it a

square foil and we just folded it up a

little right and rip the you know how

you said to rip the sides so gets up

higher so that the water doesn't get in

92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 what if we

smooth the pennies out to even it to

even it out one two

3 4 5 6 7 I think if we even it out it's

not going to like put the middle then it

might be like and then it's going to

like sink right in the middle so if we

spread them out around the edge then

they then won't okay so 8 9 9 10 11 12 9

10 11 oh no

no 111 pennies all right 83

84 85 uhoh hold

on what if we go like this changing our

design a little bit in the middle let

just go like this then the sides are

little a little higher there's no cracks

and we still spread the pennies out

evenly in mon okay so 83 84

85 5 7 15 158

159 um 160 161 162 163 oop okay wait

hold on we're on 163 don't forget

164 for our first boat the pennies were

piled up in the middle this weighed the

boat down and made it sink but when the

bottom of the boat was flat and the

weight of the pennies was evenly spread

around it it could hold 164 pennies let

us know how many pennies your boat can

[Music]

hold here's a singer from Kelly M of

Beverly Massachusetts all right Zoomers

two boys and their dad were standed on

an island they have a bat but it only

can hold 200 lb the Dad weigh weighs 200

lb and each boy weighs 100 lb they have

to be inside the boat how do they get

off the island well the dad couldn't go

first because if he got on the boat he'd

be the only one in it and he get to the

other side and then then the boat would

be on that side so it would have to be

one of the boys who goes first right

these two can go first like together and

like they can yeah together let's let's

start a diagram then so the two

boys go to home and should one stay

should one of the boys stay there no cuz

then that would be 300 pound right no no

one of the boys stay at their house yeah

and then one of them would go back for

the dad uhhuh so one of them stays

here well the other one goes back yep

you got it so far and here's the Big

Daddy but like and now his son's with

the dad now how do they get across do

you think you the father puts him on his

back the father gets in the boat and

goes across gets the boy who's at home

has the boy go back to get his brother

and then they sail back that's what I

was thinking to remember Zoomers we have

three people stranded on an island

there's the dad that weighs 200 lb and

he has two sons that each weigh 100 lb

they have a boat but it only can hold

200 lb how do they get off the

island so here's the two boys mhm now

they go on the ship the boat

and they and one of them stays

here and the other one goes back into

the

boat with his father so now they're both

on the

island so then the dad goes back home

back home and now he's with the little

boy and the little boy goes back here so

they're both here

and then they both ride over and then

everyone is home yeah and they live in a

big house by the

ocean yay

[Music]

dear hi my name is Gabe piser I live in

Philadelphia and I love to take

pictures I've been sh**ting pictures for

close to two years now when I take

pictures I use a Nikon

F2 which um was lent to me and it's

pretty old it's all manual like it

doesn't have anything automatic so it

takes a while for me to compose a shot

but it's a really good way for me to

learn Philadelphia is pretty rich in

things to photograph one of the things

that I've always really wanted to sh**t

was a symmetrical shot straight down the

Ben Franklin

Parkway I also like taking candid photos

of

people not so much in their element but

just the way that they are my name is

Gabe and hi Gabe How are um I was

wondering if I'd be able to take your

picture sure is my wife ah she's my love

how long have you've been married 41

years wow wow was

right so G I think I got some nice stuff

good

Kevin how's this that's great I think

it's ready to go in the final wash Okay

Kevin here did the did the dark room

processing for me because I'm not quite

comfortable doing yet right now we're

washing the fil the chemicals off the

film I'll just rock your tray a little

bit I think what black and white gives

you that color can't is um I guess it

kind of gives you more

emotion if you take a picture of a

yellow flower you see it's yellow but if

you take a picture of a black and white

one the information that it gives you is

the shadows and the texture to it but it

leaves the picture up to your

imagination to fill in the

color well one thing I've always loved

would be sunsets just because there's

always a really interesting texture to

[Music]

it I found out that my grandmother had

cancer my family went out there to say

uh goodbye for the last time and I

brought the picture out there of clouds

for her as we were flying out there she

went into a coma so she never got to see

my

picture I shot a lot of my grandmother

but not just of her because it wasn't

just about her when we were there it was

about everybody and the way they were

feeling about

[Music]

her I feel that I captured the moments

because I can't think of any any emotion

or any um anything that happened there

that I didn't

capture

I thought that if I could get people to

remember it then it wouldn't be as bad

and we'd always have something to

remember

[Music]

by Teardrops by Kyle h of Arlington

Heights Illinois teardrops falling like

a gentle rain rolling like a slow moving

stream

teardrops pouring like a waterfall

dripping like a leaky faucet teardrops

what's up when you feel unhappy what

makes you feel better what makes me feel

happy is when I go outside and play with

my friends or read a book in my room I

think that singing and listening to

other people's music makes me feel

better when I talk to my sister is that

makes me feel better when I'm unhappy I

there you did good split across the

[Music]

board you guys did good

[Music]

remember when Jared and I showed you how

to make a film kister rocket oh that was

wicked well zumers from around the

country tried to make their own the

sandigo Boys and Girls Club in

California made Rockets of different

sizes and shapes using equal amounts of

baking soda and vinegar lots of rockets

flew high and higher and even higher

some Rockets didn't fly at all they

thought this was because they had used

just a little bit of baking soda and

vinegar and there wasn't enough carbon

dioxide to launch them some Rockets just

tipped over they thought that happened

when they used too much baking soda and

vinegar making the rocket too heavy so

now they're going to try and figure out

other ways to make the Rockets go higher

make your own film kister rocket and

send your design to

zoom hey David yeah what did Cinderella

say while she was waiting for her photos

to develop I don't know Someday My

Prince Will
