Are you finally gonna try some this time?

Well, settle in.

I heard the story from my Grandma Ester,

who heard it from her grandma,

who heard it from her grandma,

and then she heard it from her grandma

and then her grandma, and then I think there was

a grandpa in there somewhere.

Anyway, the beetles searched all of Cyberspace

looking for the perfect place to live.

They trekked over snowy tundras, through rainforests,

and across the sandy desert, braving the elements

to find a home fit for themselves

and generations of beetles to come.

Eventually, they arrived here in Stellandia.

They made their way up this very hill

and discovered the valley in the Woodlands,

not another beetle in sight.

It was perfect for them. Yeah!

All: Wha-h*!

Bernice, voice-over: The dirt was soft enough to dig tunnels.

Wild mushrooms, bushes of fruit and leaves

were growing nearby for them to eat,

and the temperature was perfect all year long--

not too hot, not too cold, just right...

♪

and today is the anniversary of when those first beetles

arrived here in the valley and made it their own.

Weather? Climate? What's the difference?

Weather is how the air

Yup, and climate is a pattern

of weather over time.

like when the day goes from sunny to cloudy.

But a change in climate,

ooh, now, that's a big deal.

It can affect how plants and animals

live for a long time.

Uncle Harry, remember when I suggested

you move the tank away from the window?

No.

The sun can make the water too warm,

The temperature is degrees.

These species of fish like water

that's around degrees.

Oh, so we need to lower the water temperature.

From to , that's , , .

The water needs to be degrees cooler.

That doesn't seem like much of a difference.

Some species of fish and plants

are very sensitive to small changes

in water temperature.

OK, so let's move the tank away from the window,

clean that up, and lower the water temperature.

Yes, but we have to do it gradually

so that way, we don't shock the fish.
