today on Zoom pop off the top with a

couple of gummy worm funny resume is

provided by the National Science

Foundation America's investment in the

future

the Corporation for Public Broadcasting

and by viewers like you

a try

ah

ah

Nick B in Plymouth Massachusetts can you

do it but remember no using tape hey

zoom kids you guys said you wanted other

kids to send in stuff to be on your show

why the crafts project that's fun and

easy it's making rubber band stamps and

stationery sincerely Becca s of

Livingston New Jersey she wrote this

letter on stationery decorated with

their stamps now what you need is

cardboard scissors rubber bands glue or

double-sided tape washable ink pads

washable markers and some piece of paper

that you can decorate with now first

take a small piece of cardboard then cut

up some rubber bands to make your design

it can be pretty crazy or just weird

now take your tape tape on a design to

the cardboard and make sure that it

doesn't overlap because if it does then

your print won't show up then you take

your marker and then you can color your

rubber band in and then you take a piece

of paper take green this is my favorite

color and you step this hard

so that'll come up clear yes

there's my stem doesn't seem too happy

though now you can use an ink pad like

this kinda like that that I made a stand

for Elias

Oh hug oh yes

and if you want to make letters make

sure that you write them backwards on

the cardboards that so that they can

show up forwards on your print and move

now to make stationery you can make a

border around the whole piece of paper

or you can do every other corner right

your ideas on your stationery and send

them to zoom Danny Dooley likes books

but she doesn't like novel why do you

think that is Danny Dooley loves trees

but hates before why do you think that

is Danny Dooley loves puzzles but she

hates amazing why do you think that is

my most embarrassing moment is when my

dad starts acting like an animal in

front of everybody

driver Clayton he's in the cafeteria

once everyone looked at me and then just

like I was running around my classroom

my pants fell down my classmates thought

it was funny but I didn't think was

funny at all I thought it was

embarrassing during the hot summer

evenings if you can hear the crickets

chirping you can also tell what the

temperature is Maegan H of North Little

Rock Arkansas told us that most crickets

chirp faster when it's hot outside

the faster they chirps the warmer the

temperature figure out the temperature

count the number of chirps in 13 seconds

and then add 40 to this number here's

the tape of a cricket chirping let's see

if we can figure out how warm it was

when this cricket was recorded okay

ready

here I go 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13

14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 and I stopped

because it's 13 so I got 21 and 13

seconds so 21 plus 40 equals 61 degrees

Fahrenheit nice sweeping temperature

here's another cricket chirping try to

count the number of trips on your own

ready go

stop did you get about 34 so now we have

34 plus 40 which equals 74 degrees

Fahrenheit so it was about 74 degrees

when this cricket was recorded you

should know that some crickets chirp

more if they're defending themselves

if crickets are chirping a lot it might

not be because it's hot outside but

because the crickets feel like they're

in danger even though there are

thousands of different types of crickets

this formula which is pretty close to

the temperature every time if you know

other crickets thermometer formulas

spray twice it's zoom box three five-o

phosphine so2 one through four or visit

our website at triple w pbs.org and

email us your formulas look

dear zoom hey when a real stumper his

ability I will keep you guessing what

yeah sure Ginny L Jenna over and above

marvelous I hope you must go Paul

the first thing you do is go out to your

backyard you don't need to take anything

just your hands and yourself of course

a good time to find them would be early

morning or evening look under a rock or

log because that's dark and moist and

that's where they like to hide what you

know I find it right up the back it's a

worm my name is Rebecca Scott I'm 10

years old and I like to learn about

things by touching them so I don't see

anything the reason I feel around in the

dog instead of just looking is because I

really can't see I can't I'm blind I was

born blind and when I'm digging in the

ground I have to use my sense of touch

to find out like where they are and see

they can't see and they can't hear so

they have to use their sense of touch to

know that I'm there and then they'll try

to get away from me I don't know

everything about worms but I do know

some things I know that earthworms are

called annelids annelids

of segmented worms their bodies are

divided into many little rings or

segments these segments help the worm

move through the dirts sort of like the

slinky here's the head part now the

segments are expanding and they move the

head forward and then the body contracts

and pulls itself closer to the head like

this

on the segments of the worm there are

tiny hairs called CT CT help grip the

dirt as the world moves now I can't feel

CP because they're too small but I know

about them because I read about them in

a book does that make me a bookworm you

can learn a lot from reading books but

you can't learn everything you want to

learn what you want really really bad to

learn about ones then you got to

experience it because you might not know

how exactly they feel you'd have to go

out and pick one up

got him you gotta think outdoors I'm an

outdoors person I was made for the

outdoors

dear zoo here's the thing for you take

three cups put two upside down and one

right set up you have to get them all

either facing upward or downward but you

have to flip two cups at the same time

and you have to flip them a total of

three times no more and no less

good luck Taylor F of Creek Illinois

okay don't you really answer yep

alright so - oh man Hobbes Stewart all

right here we go oh I have to flip it

three times and you have to flip to each

time so you mean I have to do this like

you yep we got it

and as always has it has to be just one

Mike desperate no you want to get them

all facing downward or upward and three

try Oh

so you couldn't do one no two three

better okay that's very it but you

already got it facing one way in one try

so it's not really again it kind of

bending the rules understand so all

right so so we couldn't do that so

obviously we have to move one of the

outside ones and the one in the middle I

first try this one okay - great yep

how's it good job that were there any

other way you think I don't know I go

nuts

oh yeah right all right this one one oh

yeah come on

looking good yeah yeah silvano two three

today in cafe zoom we are going to make

something called third put this side you

was sent in by Kevin w of Charleston

South Carolina

it sounds really gross but it's really

good this is what you'll need to make

your pudding chocolate pudding where is

advanced in kind chocalate wafer cookies

a wooden spoon a cup or if you have one

it's fun to make in the clean medium

size for our pot both need similar warm

foil first take a mr. pudding and make

it to the instructions on the box then

using the back of your spoon crush the

chocolate for cookies into small bits Oh

long to crush these cookies a lot of fun

see how much it looks like Jared buer

you can't grow flowers in this dirt it

won't work then if you're using a

plastic flower pot make sure you line

the bottom with aluminum foil so it

looks like this

then with the help of spoon pour the

chocolate pudding take your crap

chocolate wafer cookies and pour them

onto the chocolate pudding

then stick on a fake flower to make it

look realistic top off the top with a

couple of gummy worms and there you have

it footy definite looks good I think I'm

gonna have some worms

Gizem I have an idea for your show make

a team and see if you can hit a target

across the room using balloons straws

teeth and a long piece of string

Mallory be linking to in Georgia ready

yeah let's go okay how do we do this all

right

um what can you this gospel mm-hm put it

like when you blow it up put at the end

yeah and then keep it because then the

air would go out slower and yeah it

would go through that because if you

just blow it up and let it go just go

over yeah okay she let go why did he

didn't work well I think it's because

the straw was like this and the air was

just going like this was just going but

also we let it out when we let it out it

went that way so it turned I think maybe

because this prize heavier between were

local balloon and then then we tie it so

it's like you know no air escapes and

then we put some stars around it and

blow up balloons and keep them on there

so then we you know it will be like

aircraft this is our guide mystery

wait a minute

it's the wrong way no cuz exert it it's

um please blow up this place and it's

gonna go okay if we blow it this way

right now there's gonna push out it's

going to go that way so this can't guide

it because it's going to be on the back

so if we if we switch the straws around

to that way and it will be the right

okay okay ready

all right and this will got it wait it's

going wrong way ready going we need more

air blows I have an idea yeah okay put

string through the straw and take the

straw to the top of the balloon and we

can tape it to the bull's eye right yeah

and then it will be like yes I'd and

you'll hold it you'll hold the other and

I'll just go oh yeah well we need it oh

yeah it was right here right

hope this Boyd okay take the straw to

the balloon quickly now if we tape it to

the balloon then the straw I mean then

the string can move through the straw

and inhibit hold on yeah and the balloon

can just move that's almost a real

manager okay keep that part to the wall

yeah I'll just go close while you're

taping it all cut off the string right

here because we don't need it anymore it

might make it heavier

all right oh there we go

oh that was exciting

we got icing it's a target it kinda

looks like a blimp see if you can make

one at home and experiment with

different designs different numbers of

balloons and different ways to use a

string then send your ideas and designs
