Purple Heart it's an award oh listen to
Jared I'm not allergic to poison ivy
Alis Alisa Alisa
ala it's not me it's Alisa like it's
Alisa okay you
[Music]
yes zom do have you ever gone on a
vacation and bought a snow globe as a
souvenir today I'll teach you how to
make your own this idea was sent to us
by Rachel s of rice Wisconsin what you
need are some jaars like this which you
can find at home some glitter duct tape
little figurines like these some water
and some paint first get a
jar and open it up then find the
figurines you like best I like these two
the most cuz they're wild I think I'll
name this one
Bobby take your tape cut off a small
piece and put it on on the bottom of the
lid make sure it doesn't get the corners
cuz then you won't be able to put the
lid back
on now cut another small
strip and roll it up like this so so the
sticky part is on the
outside and put on the
figures okay you might also want to put
some tape around their feet too so that
they don't start falling off
before you put the water in you should
probably put the glitter in because the
glitter kind of sets if you put the
water in
first use about half a
teaspoon of glitter then pour your water
[Music]
in now put in your animals and screw on
the lid you probably want to screw this
on very
tightly and wipe off the water on the
outside then paint half of the jar and
the lid and leave it to dry overnight we
already have some made right
here I like this one a lot because it
has cutouts on the back so when you FL
shine a flashlight through it you can
see the stars
it's almost like a space
scene another one I like is this one
it's an underwater
scene there's a lot of different
settings you can do with these so try
them at
home for the directions for this two and
others like them check out the zoom

I'm Kevin battenfield I'm a stream
keeper going to head over there for me
being a stream keeper is kind of trying
to preserve all the places that are
really nice and healthy and trying to
really fix the other places so it's more
livable for
Animals we volunteered to take care of
the water and fish and streams near the
places we live we do things to find out
how healthy or unhealthy a stream is and
then we try to make it a better place
for Salmon to live these are baby salmon
and we can't just let them go on every
stream so we're going to find out if
this stream is healthy enough to let him
[Applause]
going right now we're trying to collect
bugs most of the the bugs that we're
collecting can't live in very polluted
Waters so we're seeing if it's healthy
water or not cuz they kind of indicate
how the water
is we call this the bug dance we do it
to wash the bugs off the rocks and catch
them in the
[Applause]
net
oh okay there's all our bags look at
that we're finding lots of bugs ctis
flies mayflies and stoneflies the kinds
of bugs the salmon like to eat so it
means the river's really healthy so it's
pretty good let's
[Music]
go sometimes we need to put Plants along
the banks to keep the water cool and
Shady for the salmon you want the shovel
up there I think we can if too much dirt
gets into the water it can cause
problems so we're planting reow branches
when they sprout their Roots will stop
the dirt from getting into the
stream before we let the baby salmon go
we also check to see if there's enough
oxygen in the
water well I think being a stream keeper
is lots of fun because we get to really
help the environment of where we live
and actually see for yourself what the
stream needs help with it feels good to
know that when these salmon return here
in 3 years this stream will be even
healthier than it is now
[Applause]
[Music]
bye here's a Zinger that challenged the

Doug W of Los Angeles California sent us
this cool
idea that you can do with
hangers okay first you take an ordinary
wire coat hanger and unwind it and
flatten it out so it looks like this all
right very
flat then you put a notch in the middle
so that it looks like an M like this
this is what it's going to be balancing
like and last but definitely not least
you put socks on the
ends of your
hanger like this to balance it but make
sure you don't use your best socks or
your mom's best
socks okay Pablo would you like to
demonstrate why not and while Pablo is
spinning around it stays in the same
place no why does it do that Jared
because you can't move anything that's
not living unless you push it or pull it
you you're just like styling well it
really it's like depends where you put
it cuz if there's a place where it it
has lots of friction it's going to have
like it's going to push it or pull it
see if if we put it somewhere like where
it got cut onto our hair like right here
at the notch thing um well then it'll P
it it will push it so that it'll make it
move so we got to put it like so it
would work better with people with short
shorter
hair so Alisa couldn't do this could she
I don't think so sorry
Alisa what's up what's up what's up what
up up what's up what is Prejudice and
how can you stop I think Prejudice comes
from people who might not feel very good
about themselves so they feel that they
have to pick on other people about their
race or their gender or their color and
a way to stop it is either to ignore
them or educate them on the subject and
tell them why they should not do that
prejudice is when people are against
other religions other race and I think
people should accept the way people are
not just the way you
are Zoom chat Zoom chat Zoo chat what do
you guys think about pred
Prejudice it's bad I think people are
prejudiced because they're like ignorant
I think they're scared about differences
I think think that um that people tend
to label other people without even
getting to know them just by seeing them
once or knowing a little of their
background yeah misinformation and
that's part of prejudice just stupid I
went to see this like it was kind of
like an old East concert and then like a
comedy thing was after it and um I
really really had to go to the bathroom
and I mean the person sitting next to me
was handicapped and so I felt really bad
getting out and going that way because
there was like a couple seats until you
got to the aisle so I decided to go the
other way and and these ladies were just
like um it was like a break in the thing
it wasn't like they were in the middle
of a song or anything like that and so
my friend and I we got up and we started
walking out towards the aisle and they
were like oh man the kids are just so
like rude nowadays we were walking
through saying excuse me like we weren't
we weren't doing anything that would
make them think that we were rude we
like excuse me excuse me oh sorry like
and they were just like oh come on I was
like the other thing about it is I don't
understand how grownups can walk around
and they say oh kids are so rude these
days people don't even say excuse me
anymore know they just walk by you like
hold the door for ad you hold the door
for adults they don't even say thank you
and your parents teach you to hold the
door open to be polite there's also a
lot of people who respect that there are
but there's also a lot then it's your
turn my aunt went into this music store
said uh adults only you know because
you're thinking oh might have stuff that
kids can't see you know know that kind
of stuff so my aunt went in there and
you know it was a music store and so she
comes out and I says so what was wrong
with it and she says absolutely nothing
for kids and I think this guy just
didn't like kids and didn't want kids to
go in there Jared and I we went to Fun
World and um we went to this um there
was this like air fill thing and then um
we were going in and then the guy goes
no don't don't go doing flips and
jumping around and doing this he just
looked at us and like he doesn't know
who we are and he just just says another
I had gone in before him I had gone in
before Pablo did and he didn't say
anything to me and then he said it to
Pablo I was like what about me I'm with
him and it was really weird I remember
like a few years ago I was at recess and
someone goes everyone Hi the Russians
are coming and I just like I don't even
think he knew I was Russian but I mean
it was just like out of the blue he
wanted to say it as a joke but it really
wasn't funny and it kind of offended me
cuz you know it's bad especially like
when you have a whole bunch of people
and they don't like you because the
color your skin and they don't even know
who you really are like they
just what is it um label you like Alisa
said they just La you because the way
you look they would say this this kind
of people they're poor and this and this
kind of people like I'm Jewish and
there's like some thing like Jewish
people are cheap
yeah so stuff like that think about it
what like makes people think that it's
okay to be like making other people's
lives miserable they probably think cuz
they're better that don't know but I
don't know why they do
[Music]
it remember when Jared and I showed you
how to make a film canister
rocket oh that was wicked aumers from
around the country tried to make their
own here's a video from the kids at Camp
Tech in Boston
Massachusetts instead of using baking
soda and vinegar they launched their
Rockets using Alka Siler and
water also they cut pieces of paper into
l-shapes to make a stand for the Rockets
So they would launch up straight into
the
air the Rockets shot really high higher
than ours did but like ours sometimes
they didn't go at all
when they did go boy did they go
High make your own film canister rocket
send your design to zoom and make sure
you tell us why you think it's a good
design
