who
zoomo Amy M from elot City Maryland
emailed us the idea to make funny
pictures of your friends and family by
gluing photos of their heads onto silly
bodies you cut out from magazine
Amy Says there loads of laughs and make
great
keepsakes what you'll need is thin
cardboard like the kind that you find in
the back of a paper pad photos of your
friends or family and old
magazines I'm going to use a photo of
Lisa the head's already cut
out okay then skim through your
magazines and try to find a body that
you think would look kind of funny
I found this
one I like this one because I think it
looks kind of active and I think it
looks kind of cool I already cut that
out
too I'm doing it kind of big so that
when I glue it on to here I can just cut
the cardboard out
easier so then you glue the head of your
friend onto the
body so first I'll glue Elisa's
head
[Music]
she looks so cute this is a good one for
Alisa cuz the girl in the photo has
funky hair like
her okay now I glue the
back too
sticky okay and let lay it on the
[Music]
cardboard such a
cutie wait for your glue to
dry I got the glue stick so it should be
dry
already then you cut the picture out
with the
cardboard I'm going to cut it a little
closer
[Music]
too uh it's going to be kind of hard but
it's
[Music]
okay come on
okay now I have Alisa's funny
photo Laura and Jack W of wsy
Massachusetts sent us a cool idea on how
to make fridge magnets we thought that
it'd be really cool if we turned our
photo into a
magnet and it's really easy to
do just glue a magnet onto the back of
the cardboard you can find the magnets
at your local office supply store I'm
going to use the
peel kind of
[Music]
magnet okay so you stick that
off all right I'm going to use another
one cuz that doesn't cover enough
[Music]
okay and now you have your
magnet now you smack it onto your
refrigerator here are some other magnets
that I made here's Caroline and I like
that photo to it's cute and here's
Claudia got like a little
body you can find the directions for
funny family fridge magnets at the zoomd
section at the zoom website and if you
don't have a computer there's probably
one in the community center in your
[Music]
neighborhood my name is Alexandra liby
and I'm almost 10 and I live in New York
City I have diabetes but stop I feel low
okay when you have diabetes your body
doesn't produce a hormone called
insulin the body needs insulin to grow
this meter read the glucose or sugar in
my
blood sometimes I can feel when my blood
sugar is
low I get a little
shaky when I am low I need sugar to get
my blood sugar
up nobody knows why a person gets
diabetes it isn't contagious I didn't
catch it from someone and my friends
can't catch it from me it just happens
to some people look at
them this is how my day begins morning
Alex time to test every morning I test
to sandwich insulin I
need a normal blood sugar is about
100 my blood sugar can be anywhere
between 30 and
5:30 if I didn't take any in my blood
sugar would go very high it would become
dangerous for
[Music]
me in the morning and in the night my
mom draws up my
shots there are different kinds of
insulin that act over different time
periods my mom mixes insulin to imitate
what my body would
do I get insulin through shots I need
four shots every
day
during the day I drop my own
shots sometimes my food has to be
measured out to match the amount of
insulin I've
taken since my blood sugar is high I
have to wait till the insulin brings my
blood sugar down before I eat I have
plenty of time to feed frisky my friend
told me that animals can have diabetes
also but frisky is okay she can eat
whatever she
wants isn't she
cute I have to eat a certain amount of
these foods to keep my body in
balance if I eat more my blood sugar
will go high if I eat less my blood
sugar would go low isn't my sister
Erica's imitation of frisky funny do you
think that looks anything like
frisky when I I go out I have to take my
diabetes supplies with me I have to take
my testing gear I need some juice or
candy and some chips or crackers it's a
lot of work to keep diabetes
regulated even when I do the normal
things like kids do I still have to
think about what I
eat to my friends it's just another
thing I
have
hello ladies and gentlemen I am Ray

dream remember when Alisa and I tried to
see how many drops of water we could get
to stay on a penny and a
quarter
1
2
3
4 5 well the kids from the park school
in Brooklyn Massachusetts tried this out
they got an average of 43 drops on a
penny after they tested the penny they
estimated how many drops they could get
on a quarter they thought that the
quarter was a little less than twice the
size of the pennies so they estimated
that they could get about 61 drops on
the
quarters when they tested the quarters
they got an average of 60 drops that's
really
close the kids thought that the drops of
water piled up on the pennies and
quarters because the water sticks
together they said this is called
surface
tension experiment with this at home see
if all the pennies can hold the same
amount of water or try it with diam
then send your results to zoom send it

seconds and then quickly look at a blank
piece of white paper Zoom along with us
stare at The Ghost and then stare at the
white piece of paper see what happens
okay let's start do you think you're
going to see probably maybe white yeah
because ghosts are usually white and
maybe his eyes will be black oh cool
that'd be
[Music]
cool it's getting very s
PE it looks like it stands
out okay look at the white piece of
paper I saw it Oh I saw it too there it
is I saw it it's like glowing on the
sides and it is white that was cool oh
know that was
awesome here's an American flag it's
colored orange green and black you can
probably guess what the the colors will
be after we stare at
it okay let's start what do you think
the colors are going to be probably red
white yeah me too cuz regular flag is
like that the green what what color do
you think of GRE the big may be red yeah
black and the black would be white cuz
the ghost was black and it came out
white orange will
be yeah
probably she has black stars I didn't
see anything you saw it I didn't see it
that way oh my gosh I saw red white and
I saw a little bit of blue cool I didn't
see it the awesome Co let try it again
okay when you stare at these pictures
for a long time the pictures that you
see after you look at something white is
called an after image when the colors of
the after image and the colors of the
original pictures are mixed together it
makes a doll gray color so if you mix
the green color from the flag with the
color of its after image red you get
gray try doing this at home and send
