we'll have

$360 just about enough to buy the

computer working here makes me feel more

prepared for when I have a job when I'm

older and it makes me feel more strong

and

mature Zoom

do dear Zoom take a piece of cardboard

and cut out different shapes put a

sharpened pencil through them and see

which ones make the best tops when you

spin them try it Zach G of alam

California we're going to try and see

which shapes make the best tops but

before we do this we're going to show

you how to make them first you have to

find the exact center of the cardboard

you can do this with a compass or with a

marker Thumbtack and

string I'll just show you right here on

the cardboard

cardboard find the center of the

cardboard around the center and poke the

S TCT

through then draw the mark around you

want it to be straight

up all the way around

okay we already have a pre-cut piece of

cardboard next take your pencil and poke

it all the way through like you might

need the thumb tack because it's

not okay there we go now take your

pencil

and stick it all the way through and be

careful so you don't poke

yourself there we go good

job now we're going to put some clay on

to keep the pencil in place on the

cardboard and you want to push down hard

so the pencil will really stay in place

and some needs to be in the bottom too

there we go

like

so so now it should look like

this let's test it out all right put

that out of the

way let me try it oh wow that Wass good

good it's a little wobbly yeah do that

Prett long wow that works good yeah want

to test the other ones that we made

before

sure okay let's do the oval okay looks

like an egg

yeah I don't think this is working I

don't think I think the square is going

to work the best why because it's more

even oh oh whoa that looks pretty good I

guess I think that maybe hard for it to

move because these sides are yeah longer

so they weigh more and they kind of

topple over on that part let's try the

square so you think this one's going to

work good yeah cuz it's pretty much even

on all four

sides

mhm one more

try let me try no I think that this one

may be too high up because every time it

goes up it just goes to the side maybe

if it was down lower I want to bring it

down okay there we go got it

lower now let's try it wow that works

much better didn't go as long but it

still works better than

before want try the other ones yeah star

I don't think the star will work good me

neither cuz it doesn't have have enough

weight on it cuz all the way it was cut

out yeah from

here it's too light yeah and it's too

high up that's what I think yeah so what

do you think works the best I think that

the ovals and the circles work the best

because they are more they have got the

same weight all the way around all the

way around

them add of the circles then which one

do you think I think that they both were

really good they were they're only

little different in shape and this one's

a little higher but I think that

basically circles work better when

they're medium size not too small not

too big and when they're close or a

little farther let's spin it again I

love the colors on this I know they look

so

pretty

wow try experimenting with this at home

ask a question that you want answered

like what would happen if you used a

really really short pencil write down

what you thought was going to happen

that's your prediction then test out the

question that you wanted answered and

send the results to zoom send it to zoom

tails the mystery of the non-eating

polar bear written and illustrated by

Jordan D of Newcastle Indiana hello my

name is burlock p Holmes the P stands

for penguin but just call me burlock

Holmes I'm a detective I live in the

South Pole in Antarctica where there are

exciting Mysteries my favorite mystery

was a non-eating polar bear it all

started when my crazy cousin Maisy came

running into my Den she said there's a

polar bear not trying to eat me she went

inside the polar bear's mouth and it

didn't do anything and and we all know

that polar bears love to eat penguins at

that time I started thinking then we

went to the polar bear's cave we found

out that the polar bear was hibernating

and that he had already eaten before he

went to sleep so after that Maisy and I

went back to my Den to drink hot cocoa

and that was the case of the non-eating

polar
