Yadina: Today we're meeting a truly amazing person:
Hedy Lamarr.
Hedy Lamarr was born in Austria
over years ago
and grew up to be a movie star!
Xavier: That's not all...
Brad: [struggling effort] Xavier: Hedy Lamarr was also
a really smart inventor.
Brad: [thump]

An inventor is someone who comes up with
never-before-thought-of ideas.
Yadina: Like new ways to make planes go faster.

[happy sigh] One day,
we'll be in the Hall of Presidents, too.
Dr. Zoom and I have been working VERY hard

Oh, [hi-hi] I mean, US, Dr. Zoom.
But... how can I be a singer
if I also want to be president?
I can't be BOTH...
Right?

There's got to be something we can do to help--

that's all I can be: an actor.
But you can be more than one thing.
And I'm also an inventor.
Yadina: [gasp] Did you draw these?
Hedy: Mhm.
A friend needed help designing planes
that could fly really fast,
so I came up with an idea.
To find the fastest bird
and copy its wings,
and the fastest fish and copy its fins.
See?
Xavier: Did it work?
Hedy: See for yourself.
Yadina: Woaaaaah... Xavier: Woah!
Yadina: Hedy really did grow up
to be an actor AND an inventor.

Maybe I CAN be a singer

Yadina: Hello! And welcome to the show.
Xavier: Today we're meeting someone
who was a creative thinker
and figured out how things work:
Archimedes!
He was born in an ancient Greek colony
over two thousand years ago.
Brad: Many people think Archimedes
was one of the smartest people ever!
Yadina: He was a mathematician
who figured out all kinds of things.
Like how levers work.

Okay! Come on...
Stay straight...

Phew!
Xavier?...Yadina?
Xavier: Hey, Brad! Whatcha got there?
Brad: A pterodactyl egg! I made it myself.
I always thought the one in the nest must be lonely by itself.
Y'know, when we're not here.
Yadina: Uh, Brad...
You know it's not a REAL
pterodactyl egg, right?
Brad: Pretend eggs need friends too.
Xavier: Bring it up!
Brad: [grunting/straining]

Yadina: These two eggs need each other!
We just need a bit of help.
And that means...
Yadina/Xavier: To the Secret Museum!

Yadina/Xavier: Hi, Berby! Berby: [bleep blarp]
Brad: Hi, Berby! Berby: [blee blarp]
Brad: Oof!
Xavier: [humming]
We're getting something!
Yadina: A boat?!
Maybe it can sail Brad's egg up into the nest.
Brad: Seems a tad small.
And I'm pretty sure boats need water to sail.
Xavier: Look! Archimedes.
That's who we're going to meet.
Yadina: In Sicily,
in the year ...
B-C-E?
Xavier: BCE stands for
"before common era",
which means BEFORE year one.
Brad: You mean we're going back in time
more than two thousand years??
Xavier: Actually,
it's more than two thousand three hundred years.
Brad: Oy gevalt.
Yadina: Do you think Archimedes knows how to get
big eggs up into nests?
Xavier: Only ONE WAY to find out...
Ready for adventure? Yadina: Ready!
Xavier: Hm?
Brad? Brad: [gasps]
New idea: Me and my egg-head will just live in the nest
and be the pterodactyl egg's friend.

Greek colony looks like.

Yadina: [gasp] He's speaking Greek!
let me tune my translator.

Archimedes: Kalos ekheis?
... Are you okay? Brad: Yup.
[groan] Just your average case of time travel dizzies...

from the Secret Museum!
Berby: [whirring]
Xavier: That's Archimedes! Thanks, Berby.
Berby: [bleearp] Yadina: Hi! Nice boat.
Does it happen to sail
giant eggs up into nests...?
Archimedes: I don't know...
My dad and I just made it,
and I'm about to sail it for the first time!
Wanna see? Xavier: Totally.
Brad: Huh? Did we find Archimedes?
Archimedes: .. .. ..
Cast off!
[giggles] Yay! Woohoo!
Let's go!
Xavier/Yadina/Brad: [giggles]
Xavier: Woah! This is a really cool boat.
Archimedes: YAAAY! That's so cool!
Xavier: [laughs]
Brad: Yeah! Going down the stream...
[thump]
[gasp] Uh oh.
Archimedes: It's okay - I'll get it.
[groaning]
[grunting]
It's stuck!
Archimedes/Xavier/Yadina/Brad: [all grunting]
Whoah! Huh, Oof! [BAM!]
Archimedes: Don't worry. We just need to get creative.
Because creative thinking
can lead to new ideas!
Xavier: But, we already tried pulling the boat free,
what else is there?
Archimedes: Let's think...
The reason we can't pull the boat
is because it's trapped by these rocks.
[gasp] So maybe,
we can move the rocks!
Xavier/Brad: [grunting/groaning]
Woa-whoa-whou! [thud!] Ugh!
Xavier: [frustrated groan]
Yadina: Now what?
Brad: I think the universe is telling me to stay here.
I should listen. Archimedes: Hmm...
We just need to get creative!
Creative thinking can lead to new ideas.
Hmm...
Yadina: Uh oh. We better warn that kid,
so she doesn't get her boat stuck too!
Archimedes: Another boat?
Hmmm... If pulling my boat out isn't working,
then maybe pushing it will.
Worth a try!
, , -- Cast off!
Yadina: Yeah! Come on!
Xavier: Woohoo!
Brad: Let's go! Xavier: Woohoo! Yea!
Brad: This could work! [thud!]
All: Awww!
Archimedes: [disappointed] Hmmm...
Thanks, anyway.
Brad: [sighs] It's hopeless...
Archimedes: [gasp] Eureka!
I found it!
Yadina: Found what?
Archimedes: When Brad sat down,
he was able to lift you higher,
because this piece of wood acted like a lever.
Yadina: A lever?!
Xavier: A lever is like a see-saw:
press down on one side,
and the other side goes up.
Archimedes: If Brad on his own was able to lift
both Xavier and Yadina using a lever,
then maybe we'd be able to lift
one of the heavy rocks using a lever, too!
Yadina: I've never see-sawed with a giant rock before,
that's definitely some creative thinking.
Let's try it!
[splash]
Uh! Ready?
[group grunting/groaning]
Archimedes: PUUUUSH!
Xavier: [gasps] It's working!
Keep going!
[group grunting/groaning]
Archimedes: HAHA! Yes! We did it!
Xavier: It worked! Yadina: We rock!
Xavier: Archimedes used creative thinking
to come up with new ideas
for how to free his boat.
Yadina: And it worked!
If he can do that...
Brad: Then maybe we can use creative thinking
to get the egg up into the nest!
Archimedes: Thanks for all your help.
Wanna do more sailing now?
Yadina: We'd love to, but we have to get back home.
An egg needs our help!
Archimedes: Okay. Good luck!
Xavier: Bye-bye! Yadina/Brad: Bye!
Xavier: Berby, let's go home.
Berby: [bleep blarp]

Yadina: So, we tried pushing it up there on our tippy toes,
hoisting me up... Brad: [sighs]
Yadina: Even tossing the egg up!
Xavier: And...
none of it worked.
Brad: [to himself] Hmmm...
Creative thinking can lead to new ideas...
Xavier: What if we use a lever?
Like Archimedes?
Yadina: But the egg isn't stuck like his boat was.
It's just too big and heavy to lift up into the nest.
Brad: EUREKA! WAAH! [thud]
That's it!
Levers lift heavy things up...
Like our egg!
Xavier: [gasps] Oh, yeah!
Yadina: Ready!
Xavier/Brad: Ready.
Yadina: .. .. .. LEVER!
[group grunting/groaning]
Yadina: Yes! You're doing it!
[group grunting/groaning]
Yadina: Got it! Xavier: Woohoo! Good job!
Yadina: Uuugh! There.
I think this is the beginning
of an EGG-cellent friendship.
Brad: Awwwwwww.
[giggle]
Xavier: Wasn't meeting Archimedes great?
He used his math and science knowledge..
Yadina: And a whole lot of creative thinking..
Brad: WOOOAH! [thump!]
...to come up with new ideas that are still used today.
Like how to get a BIG boat like this to actually float!
How DO boats float?
Xavier: Hm. Ask Archimedes.

Meeting Hedy Lamarr was incredible!
She was a brilliant actor AND inventor.
Brad: She helped invent technology we still use today,
for things like WiFi, GPS...
Xavier: And cell phones!
Yadina: She also thought up fluorescent collars
to help dogs be seen at night!
[thump!] Brad: Woah!
Woah woah---
Tablets you put in water to make instant soda-
[slurp] Mmmm...
Xavier: And a tissue box with a secret compartment
for used tissues!
Brad/Xavier: Ah...ah...ah choooo!
Uh!...Hu!
Brad: Smart thinking! [giggle]

to meet Hedy Lamarr.
Xavier: Who used to be a kid, just like you and me.
Brad: So kids like you can change the world!
I am Brad.
Xavier: I am Xavier.
Yadina: I am Yadina.
And I know I can be more than one thing!
Just like Hedy Lamarr.
Yadina: Hello! And welcome to the show.
Xavier: Today we're meeting someone
who was a creative thinker
and figured out how things work:
Archimedes!
He was born in an ancient Greek colony
over two thousand years ago.
Brad: Many people think Archimedes
was one of the smartest people ever!
Yadina: He was a mathematician
who figured out all kinds of things.
Like how levers work.
Ready, Brad?
Brad: [worried] For what?
Xavier: To start the show!
In , , ...
Brad: Woooaaaaah!
Ugh! [zap]
Okay! Come on...
Stay straight...
Don't crash...
Phew!
Xavier?...Yadina?
Xavier: Hey, Brad! Whatcha got there?
Brad: A pterodactyl egg! I made it myself.
I always thought the one in the nest must be lonely by itself.
Y'know, when we're not here.
Yadina: Uh, Brad...
You know it's not a REAL
pterodactyl egg, right?
Brad: Pretend eggs need friends too.
Xavier: Bring it up!
Brad: [grunting/straining]
Aaaah!
Xavier: Uuuh, okay.
Xavier/Brad: [grunting]
Yadina/Brad/Xavier: [straining]

Yadina/Xavier: Hi, Berby! Berby: [bleep blarp]
Brad: Hi, Berby! Berby: [blee blarp]
Brad: Oof!
Xavier: [humming]
We're getting something!
Yadina: A boat?!
Maybe it can sail Brad's egg up into the nest.
Brad: Seems a tad small.
And I'm pretty sure boats need water to sail.
Xavier: Look! Archimedes.
That's who we're going to meet.
Yadina: In Sicily,
in the year ...
B-C-E?
Xavier: BCE stands for
"before common era",
which means BEFORE year one.
Brad: You mean we're going back in time
more than two thousand years??
Xavier: Actually,
it's more than two thousand three hundred years.
Brad: Oy gevalt.
Yadina: Do you think Archimedes knows how to get
big eggs up into nests?
Xavier: Only ONE WAY to find out...
Ready for adventure? Yadina: Ready!
Xavier: Hm?
Brad? Brad: [gasps]
New idea: Me and my egg-head will just live in the nest
and be the pterodactyl egg's friend.

Xavier: So this is what an ancient
Greek colony looks like.
Woozy Brad: Ooof. Archimedes: Hmm.
[thump!] Woah, Uh-aah-uh-aaah! Ugh!
Archimedes: [in Greek] Oimoi, syngnothi moi!
Yadina: [gasp] He's speaking Greek!
let me tune my translator.

Archimedes: Kalos ekheis?
... Are you okay? Brad: Yup.
[groan] Just your average case of time travel dizzies...
Yadina: [low, to Xavier] He's holding the boat,
from the Secret Museum!
Berby: [whirring]
Xavier: That's Archimedes! Thanks, Berby.
Berby: [bleearp] Yadina: Hi! Nice boat.
Does it happen to sail
giant eggs up into nests...?
Archimedes: I don't know...
My dad and I just made it,
and I'm about to sail it for the first time!
Wanna see? Xavier: Totally.
Brad: Huh? Did we find Archimedes?
Archimedes: .. .. ..
Cast off!
[giggles] Yay! Woohoo!
Let's go!
Xavier/Yadina/Brad: [giggles]
Xavier: Woah! This is a really cool boat.
Archimedes: YAAAY! That's so cool!
Xavier: [laughs]
Brad: Yeah! Going down the stream...
[thump]
[gasp] Uh oh.
Archimedes: It's okay - I'll get it.
[groaning]
[grunting]
It's stuck!
Archimedes/Xavier/Yadina/Brad: [all grunting]
Whoah! Huh, Oof! [BAM!]
Archimedes: Don't worry. We just need to get creative.
Because creative thinking
can lead to new ideas!
Xavier: But, we already tried pulling the boat free,
what else is there?
Archimedes: Let's think...
The reason we can't pull the boat
is because it's trapped by these rocks.
[gasp] So maybe,
we can move the rocks!
Xavier/Brad: [grunting/groaning]
Woa-whoa-whou! [thud!] Ugh!
Xavier: [frustrated groan]
Yadina: Now what?
Brad: I think the universe is telling me to stay here.
I should listen. Archimedes: Hmm...
We just need to get creative!
Creative thinking can lead to new ideas.
Hmm...
Yadina: Uh oh. We better warn that kid,
so she doesn't get her boat stuck too!
Archimedes: Another boat?
Hmmm... If pulling my boat out isn't working,
then maybe pushing it will.
Worth a try!
, , -- Cast off!
Yadina: Yeah! Come on!
Xavier: Woohoo!
Brad: Let's go! Xavier: Woohoo! Yea!
Brad: This could work! [thud!]
All: Awww!
Archimedes: [disappointed] Hmmm...
Thanks, anyway.
Brad: [sighs] It's hopeless...
Archimedes: [gasp] Eureka!
I found it!
Yadina: Found what?
Archimedes: When Brad sat down,
he was able to lift you higher,
because this piece of wood acted like a lever.
Yadina: A lever?!
Xavier: A lever is like a see-saw:
press down on one side,
and the other side goes up.
Archimedes: If Brad on his own was able to lift
both Xavier and Yadina using a lever,
then maybe we'd be able to lift
one of the heavy rocks using a lever, too!
Yadina: I've never see-sawed with a giant rock before,
that's definitely some creative thinking.
Let's try it!
[splash]
Uh! Ready?
[group grunting/groaning]
Archimedes: PUUUUSH!
Xavier: [gasps] It's working!
Keep going!
[group grunting/groaning]
Archimedes: HAHA! Yes! We did it!
Xavier: It worked! Yadina: We rock!
Xavier: Archimedes used creative thinking
to come up with new ideas
for how to free his boat.
Yadina: And it worked!
If he can do that...
Brad: Then maybe we can use creative thinking
to get the egg up into the nest!
Archimedes: Thanks for all your help.
Wanna do more sailing now?
Yadina: We'd love to, but we have to get back home.
An egg needs our help!
Archimedes: Okay. Good luck!
Xavier: Bye-bye! Yadina/Brad: Bye!

Yadina: So, we tried pushing it up there on our tippy toes,
hoisting me up... Brad: [sighs]
Yadina: Even tossing the egg up!
Xavier: And...
none of it worked.
Brad: [to himself] Hmmm...
Creative thinking can lead to new ideas...
Xavier: What if we use a lever?
Like Archimedes?
Yadina: But the egg isn't stuck like his boat was.
It's just too big and heavy to lift up into the nest.
Brad: EUREKA! WAAH! [thud]
That's it!
Levers lift heavy things up...
Like our egg!

I think this is the beginning
of an EGG-cellent friendship.
Brad: Awwwwwww.

Xavier: Wasn't meeting Archimedes great?
He used his math and science knowledge..
Yadina: And a whole lot of creative thinking..
Brad: WOOOAH! [thump!]
...to come up with new ideas that are still used today.
Like how to get a BIG boat like this to actually float!
How DO boats float?
Xavier: Hm. Ask Archimedes.
