what's up what's up what's up what's up
what's the worst lunch you've ever had

because the cheese was like it wasn't
right pizza with cold tomato sauce
chicken teriyaki soggy chicken nuggets
with crusty barbecue sauce it's ravioli
sloppy joe it was disgusting it had
beans it was cooked up fast and
disgusting the worst ones ever served
that school was burnt pizza brussels
sprouts they are disgusting nothing
were good
thank you
Wind chime
Zoom do
Nathan s of Ottawa Iowa sent us an email
telling us how to make a wind chime
they're easy to make they sound great
and they make great gifts
the best part about them is you can make
them using recycled objects you find
around the house
here's what you need
colored string
a coat hanger
an object to hang a new wind chime like
a CD a clip
a soda can some old keys and some
silverware
here's what you do lay your objects out
on the table
think about which ones you want to hang
on your wind chime I chose a fork a clip
a potato peeler some rings
a bottle opener
a CD some nuts and bolts a cookie cutter
and some soda cans
make sure you rinse out the soda cans
before you use them
I painted my soda cans so that they
really stand out
after the paint's dry tie a piece of
string to the tab on the top of the soda
can
then tattoos the string to the rest of
the items you're going to hang on your
wind chime
make the string different lengths
then patio just onto the hanger
the heavier item should be towards the
middle so that it bounces out
this is pretty light so I'm gonna put it
on the end
now take your outside and test it we
can't go outside so I'm gonna hang it on
the string and give it a good Shake
cool
make any changes that you think might
make it better
experiment with your wind chime so it
sounds just the way you want it to enjoy
hi my name is Jennifer Carter I am 10
years old
and I have five mile rocket
today we're going to launch an egg
we're putting a piece of Styrofoam at
the bottom of the
nose cone in there
so the egg won't get crushed by that now
we stuff the egg into here
and then we put the
egg in
and then you take the second pieces
styrofoam
that and put it on the top so it doesn't
fall out then you put this attach this
onto here and Scoot on
now we fold up the parachute then we
stick it
the parachute in first
then we attach the whole entire nose
cone that has the egg in it
and now we fill out the launch card we
put down the owner's name and any other
information or comments about my rocket
my comment is that my rocket does have
an egg in it and now we go up and safety
check it
out on uh high power this is where we
safely check our Rockets adult
supervisors handle the safety check
now we attach these launch Clips to the
igniter
we have to wait in back of the flags for
like safety reasons on pad 11 we have
Jennifer Carter with an amloid it has a
raw egg in it the objective is to
recover without breaking the egg five
four three two one
oh no
yes we try to catch it
oh no the parachute didn't go out
I folded I think I folded off the
parachute to tight and it didn't go out
right and now it landed too hard and
then it broke
but there's no harm done to the rocket
this is only its fourth flight
ew we're gonna try launching the egg
again
this time I'll be more careful packing a
parachute
we hope we have better luck than we did
last time
it's
not broken
Cuttlebug
Robbie
how bills
almost stopping cover
s for me
yeah
hobo Novo
bubble
bubbleback's grubby
puppies
Bobby
do it
hey Claudio yeah what word starts with
an e ends with an E and has only one
letter in it I don't know envelope
envelope the word
Zoom Mail
thank you
we get a lot of mail here at Zoom so we
thought it might be fun to make a game
out of it the object of the game is to
use zoom mail to visit the greatest
number of states while traveling the
shortest distance each team starts in
Massachusetts because that's where TV
studio is located then to see which
state to go to next players take turns
picking Letters Out of the zoo mail
hamper as they go from state to state
player G's strength keep track of the
path they take to travel across the
country here are some roles for the game
in addition to Massachusetts each team
has traveled to at least two more States
also if a team chooses not to use a
letter they picked they can skip their
turns but five inches is added to the
measurement of this string the game ends
when one team gets to the West Coast
then you have to figure out the team
each team score you do this by measuring
the length of string and dividing it by
the number of states that team has
visited the team who has the lowest
score wins okay so Elise and I are a
team and you and Claudia were a team you
two are the male pictures of me and
Carolina the Stream
stringers you go first really yes
looks like it's nice
Columbus Ohio Columbus Ohio from Kelly G
let's go to Ohio
what's Emma Montana or Montana Missouri
Montana yeah no it's Missouri should we
take it it's a long way
where is it right here oh sorry so let's
take it okay I thought you meant
I'm off on my way to the Missouri my
ball is getting tortured there you go
Bravo Utah
let's take it yeah
while South Dakota from Alexis M wanted
to take it so yeah tell me sure that
sounds good okay this one's pretty
on it
Zoe G oh wow Iowa City Iowa wowie have
you been tricking us
and then I was Iowa City Iowa
I was the yellow one yeah but I I'm
thinking I don't think we should take it
because it's um
Clayton w-i what's w i Wisconsin
Wisconsin should we go to Wisconsin
save them it's going back though let's
let's not take it because we don't we
want to go forward not back okay this is
from Nina t
New York
it just says New York now
it is
don't take that do we get five inches of
string added on yeah
okay this one's from Texas Fort Worth
Texas should we take it Texas is down
there yes sir let's take it
oh this thing patterns are so cool I
know Caroline Martinez California
you guys are ending the game good job
okay wow okay so now let's cut the
string and add it all up okay
I'm feeling you guys yeah one one
because
we went to
three
and Jessica and Claudia one two three
two
our string was 41 inches long plus 5 for
skipping a turn which is 46 and their
string was 43 inches long with two fives
10 which is 53 inches long so when the
math came out 46 divided by 3 is 15.3
repeating and Jessica's in Claudio's 53
divided by 3 is 17.6 repeating so we won
by a few points
and I think that we won because even
though we had the same number of states
our states were closer together the job
guys yeah
we were so close yeah you can try this
at home get a map of the United States
it doesn't have to be as big as the one
we used
keep track of where people live who
wrote to zoom see how long it takes you
to get across the country
hey Lisa yeah what stays in the corner
but travels all around the world I don't
know
I get it
Sierras Story
Zoom tails
dear zoo I am sending you my story why
there's day and night a legend
my story went first place in krma's
Reading Rainbow Young Writers in
illustrators contest
I wrote this story for a school project
when we were studying Native Americans
it would be great if you could show it
on Zoom thanks Michael C Lewisville
Colorado
many sunsets ago some Native Americans
were very scared because the Sun and the
Moon fought many many times
the sun would get red hot with anger and
would start fires on Earth the moon
would get so mad he would throw meteors
down to earth that's how the moves
craters were formed one time the moon
got so mad he hid from the sun's Rays so
the sky was dark the sun went looking
for the moon behind every star in the
universe he went so far into space the
Sun's light wouldn't reach Earth it was
dark for three months and very very cold
finally a small child named Falling Leaf
went to the chief of the tribe and said
this has been going on for a very long
time can't we do something about it
the chief said yes I will meet with the
elders and talk about what to do
when they met they decided to send a
giant bald eagle up with a message to
the Sun
the message said we are hungry down here
there is no food because your light is
gone
the Bison elk and deer have moved away
to look for light please stop fighting
when the sun found the moon he showed
him the message the sun told the Moon
we've been fighting too much about whose
light will shine on Earth
let's make a day last for 12 hours I'll
get eight hours and you'll get four
that's unfair said the moon let's make
it day 24 hours and we each get 12. hmm
said the sun I guess that's all right
far far away on the planet Earth the
slightest bit of light came into view
the Native Americans kids
from that day on the Sun and the Moon
learn how to compromise and began to
share and that's why we have day and
night
the end
security is
Courtneyszinger
huh
here's a Zinger from Courtney G of
Tewksbury Massachusetts
arrange four pencils so that they look
like a glass of stem
put a coin in the glass
now moving only two pencils free the
coin from the glass but still keep the
shape of the glass okay okay
I think I have an idea
one
two it's almost the shape of the glass
no I think these have to be up like that
oh then that doesn't work
okay
let me try
one
two one
from the other side
all right now let's see
I think you can put the pencil here
itself yeah
I mean now it's sideways in the glass
wait a minute maybe it does work
no no it doesn't
uh
to the people there
no because then you can only move one
pencil okay
that really a little
what is
this pencil
and
over
just guess I put it somewhere here
oh and then this was here and then you
move this here you did it and that's
free from the glass wow that was cool oh
that's awesome
that was tough
let's try again
Max
can you figure out what this is
thank you
did you guess what it is it's a lemon
crab Max s of Winchester Indiana sent us
this cool video and told us how to make
it believe it or not all you have to do
is Twist the ends of a paper towel
just gonna twist them up
and it's kind of better if we make it
tight so they don't come undone tight
Mikey tight okay
okay
then just put it over a lemon
and with a partner roll it back and
forth on the table
I love it it looks so real I know it's
like there's something
is a little bit
like how it's going like this
ah you don't know where it's gonna go
next I love it
