[Music]
on hi Zoomers you've probably Blan
really small bubbles before and today on
the show we're going to to show you how
to blow really large bubbles but first
here's a very inventive thing to do with
an old toothbrush it's called the
toothbrush balloon game and it was sent
in by Ryan D of Salem
Massachusetts it's played just like
volleyball but instead of using your
hands to hit the volleyball over the net
you use a toothbrush to hit a balloon
teammates can hit the balloon as many
times as they want before it goes over
the net but if the balloon falls on the
ground before it goes over the net or
goes out of bounds it's the other team's
point the team with three points first
wins okay guys let's
fly all right on your mark get set go
peny serves and it goes to Francis it
over
nowel it oh that
close
and Caroline hits it over I got
it I think if you can get it you can hit
it again once the other team hits
it team okay so that's Point orange team
okay so Rachel serving
and and Francis is back over and Buzz
hit
it you can hit it again buz once the
other
te
that's two points for the orange
team doing you're doing a great job guys
we'll get a point
[Music]
okay you can hit it you could hit that I
see you hit it
and good game good game again all right
guys you got you did awesome nice job
nice job
[Music]
very what is the most embarrassing thing
that has ever happened to you when I was
inra Missouri I had to perform country
line dancing and we were on TV and I
didn't even know it and I kept messing
up oops I was in a school play on a
stage playing an old man and when after
I said my line I when I went to go back
I knocked down the microphone over with
my cane oops um I think the most
embarrassing thing that's ever happened
to me was when I called my teacher
Grandma my shirt was inside out I don't
really have one because I do something
embarrassing every day I was out on the
lake and I flipped the Cano and all my
friends are watching it it was really
embarrassing
Ze hey Rachel yeah Eric what did the
chicken say about Zoom I don't know she
said it was
[Music]
excellent
zoomo today on zoom we're going to show
you how to make all different kinds of
bubbles a giant power of
bubbles
wow
my
[Music]
gosh waa that was
cool tiny little
bubbles wo look at all of
them wow look at all these
bubbles that was
cool and big giant
bubbles
[Music]
okay put that really
slowly really really
slow W awesome look at that H oh that
was cool you know making bubbles is a
good thing to do outside first you'll
need a bow mixture if you want to make
your own BB mixture here's a good recipe
one cup of dishwashing liquid three 3 to
4 tablespoons of
Glycerin and 12 cups of water for the
Tower of bubbles make a bubble blower
out of a plastic cup Andrea K of
Pittsburgh Pennsylvania wrote and told
us what to
do first poke a hole in the side of your
cup just large enough for the straw to
fit through then push the straw into the
hole there we go now put a piece of
fabric over the opening of the cup you
can use a washcloth cool there now put a
rubber band over it oops got it let me
know yes please okay here could you hold
that oh hold it thank you okay there
okay now dip the fabric in the bubble
mixture there we
go and blow through the
straw
cool the giant Tower Bubble look at that
awesome it's bending over it's the
leading Tower of
bubbles
cool all you need to make little bubbles
is a colander from your
kitchen just dip the colander into the
bubble
mixture
this
and wave it
around whoa look at those
bubbles
woo cool and last but certainly not
least the super duper giant bul machine
here's what you do to make it take a
long shoelace it should be about 72 in
long and tie it to the end of a stick
you can use a broom handle a dowel or a
yard stick it helps if there's a hole at
the end of the stick like on this broom
handle that I'm using then you'll need a
plastic ring I'm using a plastic shower
curtain ring tie the plastic ring to the
shoelace about a third of the way down
just like
this then take the plastic ring and put
it over the stick just like this
okay now take the other end of the
shoelace and tie it to the end of the
stick it's like
this it's almost
TI and
there
okay now it should look like this then
take a cloth pin and put it in the
center of the shoelace let going to hold
it for you sure
okay that's good okay this helps the
shoelace from getting tangled when you
put it inside of the bubble
mixture push the plastic ring to the end
of the stick and dip it into the bubble
mixture make sure that you get the
entire shoelace wet cool now lift the
stick out of the bubble mixture and pull
the ring towards you very slowly so cool
okay ready
yeah wo wo awesome look at that look so
cool and it helps if you move the ring
forward to the end of the stick again
and it just gives the bubble a little
push so there you go three cool ways to
make
[Music]
bubbles who that was
huge straighten out
okay
okay wow there's so many of them I know
look it w
I'm oh I want to do that
[Music]

off
w
what do you think about eating ants well
here are some that aren't that gross cuz
they're not ants they're raisins this
snack is called Ant on a lot and it was
emailed to us by hundreds of kids here's
what you'll need to do to make one first
you want to take a piece of celery and
wash it if you're not allowed to use a
knife make sure you ask an adult to help
you cut the
celery then you want to take some peanut
butter and spread
it inside celery just like
this
oops
okay that's your log
now you want to take some raisins and
put them in a row along the peanut
butter like
this these are your
ants here you go ants on a
lug never knew ants could tastes so
good the little ant a poem by Jeremy be
scity New
York a bright and sunny day I walk out
on the street when I look below me an
aunt is at my feet he says hello and how
do you do and I say good and how are
you I'm doing fine say he I was having
fun playing with the bee we say goodbye
and I go home and leave the little aunt
[Music]
alone
oo boats can hold lots of things people
cargo even cars well Amy a of new miners
Nova Scotia and Canada challenged us to
make a boat that holds eggs to make our
boat we can use two aluminum pie pant
one me of tape and two plastic sandwich
bags we're going to have a competition
buzz and Me Against Eric and Rachel the
boat that holds the most eggs without
sinking wins Okay so we've got all these
materials and we need to build a boat
out of them that can hold a lot of
eggs you guys ready yeah okay let's see
if this this can float
first you want to see if it can float
with like one egg and inside of it cuz
um let me see yeah why do you think it
floats right now because there's no
weight on it and
like because the egg is heavier than the
pan of course so without the weight it's
light it's very light so the water can
hold it up oh so what you're saying is
you think it's because of the weight of
the pan yeah okay okay ready see what
happens when we put in egg on we have
two of them TI them together so be big
and we could two like yeah we have two
SE we have two sections to hold more
eggs okay that's a good idea so you so
what you're saying is you want to tap
these together like that so when we do
it it would be like in the water it will
sit like this exact exactly just like
that okay how about we put one egg on
one pan and then one egg on the other
pan at the same time so one egg so one
pan
is okay that's really good that look
like glasses for a giant
now
let's two eggs
[Music]
right oh it rolls it rolls yeah the eggs
roll down and then it makes more weight
on it I wish we could put an egg right
here maybe we could if we tape oh it'll
fall right down in the water what if we
tape the eggs to the pan we could take
the baggy oh put a put a lot of the eggs
in the bag and then put them in little
sections
like try to put as many as we can oh
sorry I know it's like you you have to
be I see what just
saying now we should tape the plastic
bag to the
pan that
work okay
even right in the middle yeah okay ready
really cool you'll hold one side I'll
hold the other okay let's see if it'll
float see if our boat will
float yes is it floating it's floating
okay here we go I'm just going to try it
okay well it's holding up it's holding
it's
holding maybe put maybe if I put it in
the middle it will a little bit it's
working and if if we put the same amount
on the other side 1 2 3 4 5 6 1 2 3 four
5 five six put on this side make sure
it's nice and secure so if it does go
like the water the water the eggs won't
get ruined okay there we go here we go
here we
go it works it works fris how about we
just put a few more eggs around the B of
eggs okay okay should we tape them down
well let's just try to put them down
first ready now one
another oh
boy w h three more eggs left for
me uh uh I can fit one on
mine put it down put the egg
down 24 eggs so ready okay ready
go I'm yet we did it we did it good job
everybody what if we added more eggs to
one boat you see how much how much II
can home want me to bring want me and to
bring our eggs over sure
okay okay so we just added two more so
that would make 26 and there it goes
hold on oh no got survivors these ones
these ones are floating because they're
in the bag since we see that the bags
float with the eggs in them we have four
bags of eggs that's like that's about 24
eggs cuz we have six eggs in each bag
what if we set up the pie tins we T them
together like we did before like we both
did before but then we taped this the
bags kind of ready like this idea on
onto the side of them like we'll have
two two Pine here and then take these
here since these float we can add more
we can use more of the eggs kind of like
a floating raft how' you think of that I
don't know cuz when the eggs are
floating it just seemed that they would
be like flotation devices like a like a
light vest ready go ahead I it
the bags can help it float the file
packet try to balance out the weight we
have 1 2 3 four and this one 2 three
four five six
six seven very seven oh good so far
eight on this one try to get
more oh no this one's this is not scking
this I think we we're doing pretty go
guys just ready as we go along get slow
and slow you put it on more careful go
fast it's going try to pile the eggs up
in the middle try to stack them how many
more eggs do we have we none we we did
it we did it good job was good or dozen
we are good good job everybody and then
we did it all
together I think it floated because
there's equal amount of weight there's
two here and two here and the bags acted
like buoys and I thought that was a
really good idea that air came up I
think like if we added one more egg
would have sunk cuz the the water right
here is getting on the the Ed yeah it's
right on the edge if we added one more
egg um the weight wouldn't be equal
either I know
wow good job guys good
