[Ada speaking]

[mysterious music playing]

Come on, please be a
five! Please be a five!

- Aw, man!
- It's a two. That's three less than five.

And that means… Roar!

You've been turned
into a werewolf.

According to the rules
of Goblins and Dragons,

you can't speak
'til your next turn.

You can only howl
like a werewolf.

I can only howl?

I mean… Woo.

Iggy, werewolf howls
are louder than that.

Put your back into it!

Ah, woo!

Ew!

[sniffing] Yuck!

[meows]

Something smells
like goblins' breath.

[sniffs] That smell,
it's terrible.

- [groans] Horrible.
- Toe-curling.

We have to find out what it is.

- [Rosie] Huh?
- Say what now?

This stink is a mystery, a
riddle, a puzzle, a quest,

and we're gonna get
to the bottom of it.

[sniffs]

- [sniffing]
- [meows]

I don't smell it
anymore. Where'd it go?

[sniffs] Oh! Now I smell
something. It smells like...

Like the yummiest
yumminess ever!

Does this mean my famous
veggie soup smells good?

- So good.
- Delicious.

What veggies are you using?

Oh, carrots, celery, tomatoes, onions,
and garlic for extra deliciousness.

- Same ones for the salad too.
- [sniffing]

Same veggies as the soup, but
these barely smell at all.

[sniffing, groaning]

- The stink is back.
- Yes! Let's follow our noses.

[sniffing]

Carpet smells carpet-y,
but not stinky.

[sniffs, sighs]

Smells like reading.

- [sniff]s It's not Mooshu's litter box.
- [meows]

It actually smells
surprisingly okay.

Yeah. Kitty litter is designed
to absorb icky smells.

And Arthur and I take turns
cleaning it every day.

[sniffs]

[sniffing]

[sniffing]

[all] Ew!

A-ha!

The source of the great
stink. Arthur's tennis shoes.

- The grand slam of stink.
- What are you kids doing?

We just made a fascinating
discovery. You have stinky shoes.

I know. They don't smell
when I wear them at tennis.

- Only when I take them off.
- Great observation, Arthur.

Do you like having stinky shoes?

No! I don't want my shoes to
make the whole house smell.

That's why I'm trying this.

Mom uses perfume to
make herself smell good,

so maybe it'll make
my shoes smell good.

Oh, a test! Can we observe?

I guess.

[sniffing]

It does smell like Mom.

[all sniff, groan]

But now the perfume is
mixed with the stink,

so it smells like your
mom plus stinky-ness.

[sighs] There's no way I
can un-stink these shoes.

There's almost always a way to
solve a problem with science.

Let's see if we
can solve this one.

- Does that mean a brainstorm?
- Ding! Correct!

Great, 'cause I have an idea.

Whenever I'm stinky, my
mom makes me take a bath.

- We could give Arthur's shoes a bath.
- I love bath time.

It's when I think of some
of my best questions.

But wet, slippery shoes could
be dangerous for Arthur.

- Oh!
- True. We could put 'em in the dryer?

That might ruin the shoes.

Luckily, I've got another idea.

Since cat litter
soaks up icky smells,

we could pour some in the
shoes to get rid of the stink.

Good thinking,

but what if Mooshu thinks
Arthur's shoes are her litter box?

Uh-oh!

- No, Mooshu!
- I can't watch!

[gasps] I have another idea.

We invent a spray that
gets rid of the smell.

Like a perfume. Yeah.

Except instead of making it
smell like something nice,

we'd make it smell like nothing.

- A no-fume?
- Precisely.

But we don't want to
accidentally ruin Arthur's shoes,

so we can do our tests on this.

I outgrew it last year, so my mom
said I could use it for science.

We just need to make it super
stinky before we use it.

[sniffs, groans]

[sniffs, groans]

[meows]

[sniffs, groans]

Loading the lab.

[thrilling music playing]

[sniffs] Smells like success.

P.U. That is stinky!

I don't know if my nose can
handle this much success.

Maybe your nose doesn't have to.

Sometimes, scientists need special
equipment for certain tests.

- Now we're ready. Let's hit it!
- Yeah!

[uptempo music playing]

[sniffing]

Oh, no.

That's the gooiest
flop I've ever seen.

[gasps] It's a glop!

Or a floop. Maybe Arthur was right.
De-stinking his shoes is impossible.

- [gurgling]
- Sorry. That was my belly.

When's dinner? Your dad's
soup smells so good.

I know. The salad's
probably tasty too,

even though it doesn't
smell as good as the soup.

Wait. Why doesn't
it smell as good?

- It has the same ingredients.
- I don't know why they smell different.

I just know that a hot, tasty soup
makes my belly feel nice and warm.

Soups are hot. [gasps]

And salads are cold!

I know that look. Do you
have a hy-potty-what-asis?

- [laughter]
- Yup.

And our hypothesis is hot things
smell more than cold things.

Can temperature really make
things smell different?

Well, when it's hot,

your molecules move really fast
and bounce around like this.

Pew, pew, pew!

Like a wizard
sh**ting fireballs.

Exactly.

And when it's cold, air
molecules move slower…

[slowed down] …like this.

[regular speed] So smells travel
through the air faster when it's hot.

That's what I'm thinking, but
there's only one way to find out.

Think cool thoughts, because
it's about to get toasty in here.

Hoo-wee! Did we
teleport to the sun?

Need… water. So… thirsty.

[gulping]

[sighs]

I love a nice dry heat.

Well, I think it's definitely hot
enough to test our hypothesis.

- Ready for a sniff test?
- I don't know how much stink I can take.

You can do it, Iggy.
Come on. Let's go!

On the count of three.
One, two, three!

- [all sniff, groan]
- Ew!

That is the smelliest
smell I've ever smelled.

And the stinkiest stink
I have ever stunk.

Heat does make things smellier,
but to prove our whole hypothesis,

we need to see if cold
makes things less smelly.

Bring on the cold.

[shudders]

I mean, bring back the heat.

First, we gotta see if the cold
de-stunk Arthur's shoes. Ready?

[trembling] So cold.

[sniffing]

It smells like… nothing.

It's not stinky at all.

- Which means we proved our hypothesis.
- Does that mean we can be warm again?

[laughs] Yep.

[sighs] Much better.

[sniffs] Except now that it's not cold,
Arthur's shoes are back to being smelly.

We need a way to keep his shoes
cold when he's not wearing them

so they don't stink.

The solution is obvious. We freeze
Arthur's shoes into giant ice cubes.

That would solve
the stink problem,

but I think Arthur wants
tennis shoes, not ice skates.

Oh, didn't think
about that part.

Maybe he can keep
them in the freezer?

Hmm, my mom probably won't like dirty
shoes next to all the food though.

So what if we created a shoebox
that's kind of like a freezer,

just for Arthur's shoes?

A freezer with an awesome design. We
could make it look like an ice palace!

Brr-rilliant! Now
let's get building.

[uptempo music playing]

[groans]

[groans]

- What are you doing to my shoes?
- We're freezing the stink.

[sniffs] Wait! I
don't smell anything!

Because the cold air's keeping the
stink from going all over the place.

You found a way to keep my shoes
from smelling up the house?

- Sure did.
- Yep.

That's amazing! Thanks.

You might be onto something
with this science stuff.

[sniffs] What's that smell?

[gasping]

It smells delicious. Must be
your dad's famous veggie soup.

[all sigh]

- Sure is.
- Yep.

- Definitely.
- Just the soup.

Nothing else, like
shoes or anything.

Huh? Shoes?

[slurps] Mm. This soup really
does taste as good as it smells.

The salad tastes great too.

[laughs] Thanks.
Glad you like it.

And I'm glad this soup is the
only thing smelling up the house.

- Me too!
- [laughter]

Hmm. [gasps]

I have an idea. Let's meet
another scientist. Come on!

Hi, I'm Rachel Dutton
and I'm a microbiologist.

Today, we're gonna talk about
what makes cheese stinky.

[Ada] Let's go!

We came to the cheese shop today

to get a closer look
at some of the microbes

that actually make cheese both
taste good and make it stinky.

Microbes are very tiny cells

that you would never
see with just your eyes.

You have to use
microscopes to see.

These microbes are
found everywhere.

They're found in the ocean, in the soil,
and on some of the foods that we eat.

A lot of what we smell
around us in the world,

not just cheese, is actually
because of the microbes.

- [Ada] Oh!
- This particular microbe we're looking at

is one of the most common bacteria
you find growing on cheese.

It creates a lot of
delicious flavors,

- but also makes it stinky.
- [Ada] Ew!

One of the things that
cheese-makers do to control

how much microbes grow on
cheese is control temperature.

So the warmer the temperature,
the stinkier the cheese.

This cheese is a special
type of cheese from France.

And these holes are actually
from little tiny bugs.

Those tiny bugs are
called cheese mites.

The mites will create interesting
flavors and smells on the cheese.

It's not just microbes
that make smells.

It's other organisms
that live on the cheese.

- [mite] Hello.
- Fun fact.

One of the microbes that grows
on cheese and makes it stinky

is the same type of microbe
that grows on our feet.

When people think stinky
cheese smells like stinky feet,

it's because it's the same
type of microbe growing

and producing the
same stinky smells.

[laughs]

Wasn't that cool?
Science is the best!

[Ada speaking]

- Mooshu's new cat toy is done.
- Cool.

I calculated it so it's the
perfect mix of curly and crinkly.

Let's see if she likes it.

[meows]

[Iggy] Yep. She loves it!

Especially the crinkly part. Why
do cats love things that crinkle?

- Mooshu is so cute!
- [Mooshu meows]

I wish I had a pet.

But since my mom travels for work, she
says we wouldn't give one a good home.

I guess that makes sense. Taking
care of a pet is a lot of work.

- But maybe you could get one that isn't.
- Like a goldfish.

They just swim all day. You
don't even have to walk them.

But you do have to feed 'em.

And they're hard to hug.

Maybe a monkey. They
love to hug! And play.

- Maybe a little too much.
- True.

Hmm. What about a ladybug?

You don't have to walk or play
with them, and they're adorable.

But they need food and
a space to crawl around.

Plus, they're easy to lose.

Here, ladybug.

True. You don't want to step on a
ladybug that's lost in your house.

So you need a pet
that doesn't eat,

doesn't need to play,
and doesn't need hugs.

- Sounds like a rock.
- [gasps] Yeah, I could get a pet rock!

I was kidding.

I wasn't. Let's get
my pet rock right now!

- Hmm. We can find one in my backyard.
- Hmm. Those rocks already have a home.

I want a wild rock
that needs one.

But where could we
find a wild rock?

[all] Hmm.

I know. The park!

Uh…

- Hi, Mom!
- [gasps] Ada, you startled me. What's up?

I was going to ask you to take us to
the park, but if you're working...

I am working… on this
crossword puzzle.

- [laughs] Mom!
- [laughs] I'm stuck on this work problem.

When that happens, taking
a break does the trick.

Please let me take you to the
park, so I can take a brain break.

Yay, we're here!

[giggling]

Here. This looks
like a good spot.

Thanks, Mom. We're gonna
look for some wild pet rocks.

Wild pet rocks? Okay, don't feed
'em. And stay where I can see you.

We will!

[giggling]

There are so many rocks here. I
don't even know where to start.

[gasps] This one's blue
and round. Oh, and shiny.

I love it! Definite maybe.

Check this one out.

It has fuzzy moss on
top. It's so cute.

I love that one too.

Oh! These two look like twins.

Nice.

[gasps] This rock with
this cool chip rocks!

So many choices.
Let's keep looking.

Whoa! Rosie, that's a big
pile of possible pets.

Yeah. How do we choose
which one to take home?

Rock, paper, scissors?

I could never choose just one!

There's something
special about every rock.

Like Mossy.

So fluffy and cute.

So cute.

Rocko and Milla are
brother and sister.

I can't separate them.

And Chippy has a chip.

No one else will ever want him.

But me.

So I have to take them all.

Okay. There's just one problem.
How are we gonna get 'em home?

Easy. In our pockets.

I can't move my legs!

They're really heavy. [screams]

Okay, not our pockets.

Maybe I can use my scarf.

Stay.

Stay.

Who's a good rock?
You're a good rock.

[groans]

They keep falling out.

Guess 'cause they're wild.
Training'll be a doozy.

Hmm. Know what we could use?

I know! A brainstorm.

Great idea.

Hmm. What if we poofed the
rocks home? Chabra kadabra.

Uh, I mean abrakazizzle!

But I can't remember the spell words,
which might cause a bigger problem!

[screams]

What if we put your house
on wheels and moved it here?

Hmm, I'd guesstimate we'd
need roughly a zillion wheels.

Yeah, you're right.

We could get ladybugs to fly
ants that carry the rocks.

Ants are strong.

But ladybugs aren't that strong.

[screaming]

Any other ideas?

[sighs]

Uh, I got nothin'. [sighs]

[gasps] Unicorns?

Hey, that's usually my line!

Ants, but no ladybugs!

[gasps] Unicorns.

I already said that.

Cheese.

Cheese?

I'm hungry.

Oh, no.

I think we ran out of ideas!

What? We never run out of ideas.

We need to keep brainstorming.

I have to get my pet rocks home!

But I can't think anymore.
My mind feels like goo.

My mush is mind-y.

I mean my mind is mushy.

- What if my mind turns to mush forever?
- What are we gonna do? We're stuck.

Stuck… Stuck!

What if we stuck the rocks to…

Oh, I don't know. [groans]

It's like my brain broke.

Wait a second!

I'm stuck on this work problem.

When that happens, taking a
break usually does the trick.

I think I just connected
the polka dots.

My mom's taking a brain break 'cause
she was stuck on a work problem.

We're stuck, so maybe
we need a break.

A play break.

No! We think should.

I mean, we should think. [sighs]

Okay, we can take a break.

[laughter]

Wee!

[humming]

- [Ada laughs]
- [Iggy, Rosie gasp]

[giggling]

[giggling continues]

Oh! These sunflowers look like
they'd make a pretty cool catapult.

[Iggy sneezes]

Who knew sunflowers
were such a design…

[sneezes]

…wonder?

It's like there's little
flowers inside the flowers.

There are. Sunflowers are made
of thousands of tiny flowers.

[sniffs] They smell so good.

Hmm. Why do flowers
smell so good?

Hey, my brain's coming up with
information and questions again.

- And my mind doesn't feel mushy.
- Our play break worked!

Yay. Let's get back
to our brainstorm.

I know. We could charm owls into
flying the rocks home for us.

I'm very charming.

Owls don't work during the
day. They're nocturnal.

Oh, yeah, they're
only awake at night.

We could make a roller
coaster to carry the rocks.

I love that idea.

But what if the roller coaster's
wobbly and the rocks roll out?

Then it would be a rock
and roller coaster!

[all laughing]

Maybe we can build something
so we can haul the rocks.

Yeah. We could call it
a Rosie Rock Hauler.

Great idea. Let's build it!

It could have a big
net for the rocks.

- And a frame to hold 'em in.
- And wheels.

And done.

- Love it.
- Nice!

Let's get materials.

Hmm… [gasps]

We can weave vines
together for the net.

- These sticks will make a nifty frame.
- Found these wheels around the park.

Can I build it
now? Can I? Can I?

- Yes.
- Go for it.

- [squeaks]
- [laughter]

Yee-haw! We've got
a Rosie Rock Hauler.

- It's perfect.
- Good job, Rosie.

Thanks. Let's see if it's
strong enough for my pets.

Yay. It is!

Let's finish loading.

[all groaning]

[doorbell ringing]

- [Mrs. Twist] Hi.
- Hello.

- How was your flight?
- Wow-wee!

That flight was a doozy.

- Come on in.
- [gasps] Mom!

Hey, Rosie-posy-puddin'-pie.
How was your day?

[grunting, blasting]

I got pets. Lots of 'em!

You what?

It's not what you
think. Come see!

- Meet my pet rocks.
- [sighs]

That's Chippy.

This is Rocko and Milla.

And here's Mossy.

[laughs] I never thought we'd be able
to have a pet with my travel schedule,

but rocks?

Creative.

Attagirl.

Right? These three are the best at
thinking their way out of problems.

We did run out of ideas, but
then we took a play break,

like your brain break,
Mom, but with playing.

- You were right. It did the trick.
- I'm glad that helped.

So let's take your pets home.

Okay, but first…

You should take the blue
one, Iggy. You bonded.

Thanks, Rosie!

And take Mossy, Ada.
You're perfect together.

- Really? Thanks! [gasps]
- [Mooshu meows]

Don't worry, Mooshu.

I may have a pet rock, but
you're still my favorite kitty.

[all laugh]

[meows]

Hmm… [gasps]

I have an idea. Let's meet
another scientist. Come on!

Hello.

Hi, I'm Raquel Nuno and
I'm a planetary scientist,

and today we are going to
talk about rocks from space.

When we think of rocks,

you think of rocks that you find
at the park or on your hike,

but there's lots of rocks
just floating around in space.

At some point, they entered our atmosphere
and crashed onto the surface of the earth,

and now we have them here
in our meteorite gallery.

[Ada] Oh!

Rocks that came from space and then
landed on Earth, we call those meteorites.

These are our massive
iron meteorites here.

If you're out rock hunting,

one of the ways that you know
that you've found a meteorite

is by seeing if it's magnetic.

[Ada] Wow!

The rocks here on Earth
are usually not magnetic.

The types of rocks
floating around in space,

they range from something
as small as a speck of dust

all the way to something
as big as almost a planet.

The earth is essentially just
a big rock floating in space.

[Ada] Whoa!

You can actually see space
rocks coming in to Earth.

Meteor showers.

They're tiny pieces of dust and rocks
that enter our atmosphere and burn up.

We see them as bright
streaks across our sky.

Don't forget to look up next
time you're outside at night.

You might just catch
a meteor shower.

Fun fact.

The moon is shrinking.

It turns out that inside the moon
there are rocks that are hot,

but as they cool
off, they shrink,

and so the whole moon
is getting smaller.

Don't worry. You'll
still be able to see it.

Wasn't that cool?
Science is the best!
