zo we got this email from Amanda F of

Oakdale New York I received the hula

hoop for my birthday since I'm only 5

years old I'm having a little trouble

getting started any suggestions I would

love to see if you guys could do it

let's go get ready to hul hoop okay can

you hul hoop I think I

can and then we can give some

suggestions to Amanda you want to H try

H hooping first yeah

okay oh yeah how do you H let's move my

hips in a

circle that's that's the easiest way

just yeah keep moving your hips and like

in the circular motion yeah you

mean I also think if you're just

learning do hula hoop like Amanda you

should try to like get a rhythm going

like slowly at first and then maybe work

out like going faster and fast

faster that's and after a while you're

able to like just keep Hing yeah and

also a good way to get sted is to like

give it a good stent like just to go

like to start it if you don't know how

to you can try h* hooping on your arm

just move your arm in a circle and then

you that's how you move your hips yeah

basically in the same

motion or you could try it on your

neck ah now it's myig hand I can but

that's

okay yeah see it's almost like doing it

on your hips it's up it's a little

easier a little higher yes I think it's

easier to do it on your neck cuz if your

shoulders to hold it up yeah so it

doesn't fall yeah I like

cool

so after a while it's not it doesn't

seem as hard

anymore hi and welcome to Cafe Zoom

today we're going to show you how to

make some food to serve your guests next

time you throw a party first up pigs in

a blanket sent in by Nicholas R of West

Jordan

Utah okay here's what you'll need some

hot dogs

crescent roll dough and

cheese okay first you want to preheat

your oven to

375° then take a hot dog and slice it

down the middle but be sure not to cut

all the way through or it'll just fall

apart and it won't work and if you're

not allowed to use a knife make sure you

ask an adult for

help okay then take a slice of

cheese and you want to put it into the

slot of the hot dog you just cut

but I found that it's easier to cut a

little piece of the cheese off instead

of putting the whole thing in there

because then you have to squish the

cheese into the

slot just put that over

there and just take this little piece of

cheese and put it right inside the hot

dog put it right there so it looks like

this okay then you want to separate your

crescent Rollo into little triangles

they're already like pre-cut for you

unroll it so should come out to look

like a

triangle well kind

of then you want to take your hot dog

and roll it right into the

dough pull it right up I started the fat

end and went to the skinny end cuz it's

kind of easier there it'll look like

that blanket

Pig

okay now just stick it on your cookie

sheet and using your oven mittens put it

in the oven for about 12 to 15 minutes

or until the dough is golden

brown once their SE seed cooked and

cooled they should look like

this this they look really good and then

my favorite part eat them

that's really good next up a yummy

dip Hey Zoe yeah what do you call a cold

hot dog I don't know a chili dog get it

chili

cold my name is Rebecca f I'm

13 I'm

Cambodian my whole

family

came to America about 16 years ago I was

born here in Portland

Maine I speak two languages I speak

Cambodian and I speak

English

M I don't think of myself as whole

Cambodian I don't think give to myself

as whole American cuz I'm not and like

when I'm you know participating say in

like a drama club or something that's

holy American yeah we're going to skip

all the way until we get to the first

quote and then we're going to start from

there and read all the

quotes when I'm dancing that's involves

Cambodian

fully first time I thought about dancing

was when my teacher Shan Mal um came to

my school I wanted to learn it cuz I

thought it was

unique when you dancing you can't just

you know move when you want to move you

got to listen to the song you got to

listen to the Rhythm the beat you know

especially the words because the words

tell you when to move when to stop when

to

end it's sort of hard cuz you have to

memorize it but other than that um it's

it's not that

hard I don't know I guess I need I just

want to practice one more

time it's a dance called chewy chai

which is um an honor dance for the

prince before he becomes the

king doing doing it right making it look

you know the way it's supposed to

look the hand movements the life

movements it's sort of like a ceremony

in a

way I dance because I like it it's

fun

Sam P from Port do Ontario sent us the

instructions to make a thermometer using

a bottle some clay and a straw the water

level will change as the temperature

changes first fill a bottle with warm

water to the very top pour some food

coloring in it so that you can see the

water move in the

straw two three four oh look at that oh

yeah it's a circle five lucky number

that looks

awesome next put some clay around the

straw and stick it in the

bottle Sam says it's important to use

the clay to seal it so that no air gets

in the thermometer won't work unless

it's airtight let make a hole here what

you going to do oh like that good

idea there we

go I think you need to make it tighter

there see cuz there's water looking here

why don't you just take another ring of

it and put it another

ring all

right how pretty like a snake wow the

water goes up

high that's good then take a marker and

mark off the water level you want to do

this so that you can see the difference

in the water when it gets

cold go all the way

around all the way

around there woo finally stick the

bottle in some ice

and watch while the water level

changes oh it almost went out for a

second we used time-lapse photography so

that you could see the water level go

down really fast if you do this at home

it would take about 5 minutes also the

water bottle tilted while the water

level was going down because the ice

cubes

melted W that went far that went pretty

far down went below the clay that's I

know like in the bottle now oh w i you

can see there's like a little bubble

right where the

water the reason that the water level

went down was because of the water

molecules when the water molecules got

hot they started moving around and

needing more place to expand and move

around that's why they moved up because

this was sealed off then when the water

got cold the water molecules didn't need

to move around as much and they went

down the

straw see if you can figure out what you

need to do to turn this into a

thermometer that measures real

temperatures try to experiment with this

at home ask a question that you w

answered like what would happen if you

used a differ size bottle or a bottle

made out of a different

material write down what you thought was

going to happen and then what actually

did happen send your results to

zoom hi Claudio hi carine what did one

hot dog say to the other I don't know hi

Frank hi and welcome welcome back to

Cafe Zoom a partyers won't be a party

without chips and dip so here's how to

make Tracy J's dip recipe we're going to

mix together a half a cup of

mayonnaise just pop it right in

there I like mayonnaise I like the smell

of

it okay and half a cup of cream

cheese I think it's easier to kind of

pre melt to cream cheese a little if

it's been in the fridge for a

while

and chopped

onion let put it all in

there and two teaspoon of onion soup

mix just mix off together then mix it

together all around mix and mix and mix

until all the ingredients are kind of

mushed together into one big

dip you can put the bowl on a plate and

arrange it with some chips and some

vegetables or anything you like to dip

into a

dip just put this dip right

now there we

go stay tuned to learn how to make

cranberry lemon punch

that's really

good zoom

need is our friends come on guys time to

party

smells good punch things in the blanket

chips and dip let's party awesome I one

of these you guys want some juice or

punch

okay good mhm

awesome here's an update on the zongas

backpack challenge kids all around the

country have been wearing their

backpacks for 5 days in a row Monday

through Friday and sending us their data

we've grabbed all the data we've

received so far to figure out if kids

backpacks are heavier on certain days of

the week these colored bars stand for

the average backpack weight finding the

average made it easier to read the data

than if he had just tried to Gras all

the weights we got some kids for each

day and all of the averages are pretty

close they all between 10 and 12 lbs and

that's not much of a difference but

Friday seems seems to be a tiny bit

heavier but all the differences are only

less than 2 lbs which means that

backpacks aren't really heavier on

certain days of the week and so with

that makes sense to me because I mean I

take the same stuff home from school

each day yeah but kids backpacks go away

different amounts each day like on

Monday one kid backpack could weigh 15

lb and another kid could weigh 5 lb and

the average will still be 10 lb even

though there's a big difference between

5 and 15 yeah that's true here are two

backpacks that each weigh 10 lb this

backpack looks like it has a lot more

stuff in that yeah this one is like a

water bottle a bunch of pencils and this

book is really heavy yeah really thick

yeah these books are pretty light and

all the stuff looks lighter than things

that are in that backpack yeah to find

out how you can be a part of the zong Us
