make strawberry Som

day km of Manasses Virginia sent us this

recipe it's a really easy dessert to

make because the only ingredients you

need to make it with are strawberries

and sugar put 24 oz of frozen

strawberries that are slightly thawed

and 34 of a cup of sugar into a

blender I'll start off with a little bit

of strawberries and add more

there we go make sure that before you do

this you wash your hands here put a few

more there

okay some sugar wo that's a lot of sugar

sometimes you need to pack it down with

the wooden spoon that's what I'm going

to do smush them down so they're easier

to

blend there mixed in

okay put the cap back

on Okie

doy okay now I'm going to add more

strawberries here we

go

there okay

cover back

on

here

okay make sure the blender is turned off

before you take the cap off the

blender there okay now pour the mixture

into a baking

pan pour that

in

y there we

go put it into the freezer for about 2

hours here's one that's already

H I let it out at room temperature so it

could soften

okay now break it up with a wooden

[Music]

spoon

okay mush it

around there now pour it back into the

blender here actually think I'll scoop

it up it'll be

[Music]

easier

oops I dropped a little

here

okay

[Music]

there blend it until it's

smooth okay

there pour it into some dessert dish

es pour it in yummy I love strawberries

here we go put it back in the freezer

for 20

minutes if you want the recipe for

strawberry sorbet you can find it at the

zoom website

pbskids.org

[Music]

here this is what it looks like when

it's finished B

[Music]

appetite this is

awesome what's up what's up what's up

what's up what's up if you could put one

thing in a time capsule to be opened in

a thousand years what would it be I'd

probably put in a radio because most

likely they wouldn't have that in a

thousand years if I could put one thing

in a time capsule it would be a football

cuz football is my favorite sport my my

valuables uh such as my watch the

picture of my family something that I

would put in a time capsule to be open

in Thousand Years would probably be a TV

so people would know what Electronics

were like back then it would be a

newspaper so the people who would open

it in a thousand years would see what

happened in a thousand years um ago I

would put in a mined silver dollar that

I have um of my birth year if I could

put one thing in it's Time Capsule I

would probably

put myself in it so I could see what

it's like in the

[Music]

[Music]

job hi my name is Benjamin I am from him

peblo New Mexico and I am 11 years old

and I love to play

golf the object of the game is to get

this ball into a hole this big that

could be anywhere to 100 y to 600 y away

sounds easy

right I've been playing and taking

lessons since I was 6 years old if you

want to hit the bar really far you got

to use this club it is called the driver

if you want to hit your bar from a

medium distance you got to use your iron

and you want to hit the barall out of

the bunker you got to use your sand

wedge and to put the ball into the hole

you use your

[Music]

putter it takes a lot of practice and

patience to be good at

golf you have to practice just swing

over and over until becomes a habit of

your

body you got to get your grip and stance

just right before you hit the ball it

looks kind of silly

[Music]

sometimes every now and then I hit my

bar into the

[Music]

pushes and if you hit your ball into the

water forget

[Music]

it the fun part of golf is when you

drive the car you got to be

careful I can't drive a car till I'm 16

but I can drive a golf cart

now girls don't get to use to carts in

tournaments this is something I'm really

going to miss on night turn

pro what I like best about golf is that

I get to be

outside you get a master of skill and it

feels really good to hit the ball just

right

when you play a good game it is the most

fun thing in the

world Zoom reviews B Karen W of

Indianapolis Indiana sent us a review of

the picture book Lily's Purple Plastic

Purse written and illustrated by Kevin

hus this book is about a girl named Lily

who has just gotten a new Purple Plastic

Purse with movie star glasses and change

in it she takes it to school but gets in

trouble with her teacher when she plays

with it too much I really like this book

because it's funny and very sweet this

book is special because it's good for

the whole family my dad even likes it if

you're ready for a great picture book

read Lily's Purple Plastic Purse by

Kevin

henis

now we'd like to know about your

favorite book so be sure to go to the

review section of the zoom website and

tell us about

[Music]

it earlier on Zoom we started building

an invention that pours glass milk it's

the kind of invention that rub Goldberg

a guy who invented machines that made

simple tests very complicated would have

designed but since Ru Goldberg's

inventions were so complic at he never

ended up building them he only Drew

cartoons of them we've actually built

ours our invention is just as

complicated as a Ru Goldberg machine it

uses 34 steps to pour milk into this

glass last time we had about half of it

finished now the whole thing's

working it all starts when I press this

doorbell the doorbell completes an

electrical circuit which releases energy

from this battery that causes the fan to

turn the Turning fan moves this piece of

cardboard out of the way which lets this

marble fall through the

funnel because the marble is traveling

with so much energy when it hits the can

it gives it a little push and rolls

uphill which hits the next can which

also rolls up hill the reason they roll

up hill is because there are weights

taped inside of them the weights are

actually falling down and as they do

this they pull the can forward and up

the hill the last can knocks over this

Domino which starts this Domino chain

and knocks the astronaut off the table

the astronaut pulls on this string which

releases the clip from the tether ball

the tether ball then unwinds and knocks

over this chair which is going to land

on this lever which releases this green

string attached to the balloon the

balloon is then going to unwind and

deflate releasing these weights the

weights are going to knock this bottle

off the table the force of the the

falling bottle will pull on this green

string and pull the chair forward onto

the bridge where the marbles in this can

Will spill out

everywhere we use these meter sticks to

guide the marbles into this

balance as the balance moves it lets

this lever tilt and the chicken feet

roll

down the chicken feet hit with enough

Force to knock over this

book one book hits the next and as the

last book Falls it pulls a cork out of

this balloon car the inflated balloon

has a lot of energy because it's

stretched a balloon that is stretched

has more energy than a balloon that is

not

stretched so when the cork is pulled

from this balloon car the air in the

stretch to balloon is forced out and

moves the car forward which hits the

steel ball which rolls down the track

and acts like a switch the electricity

flows from this wire through the steel

ball and into this wire which then runs

the fan the fan blows this funnel which

has a needle attached to it down the

fishing line and Pops the

balloon the balloon releases this string

which is attached to this airplane

gravity makes the plane ZIP down this

cord and pushes this

wedge the wedge tilts up this bottle of

vinegar and the vinegar pours into this

balloon filled with baking soda the

chemical reaction between the two

creates a gas with enough Force to

inflate the balloons underneath this

plate when that happens it's going to

tilt the plate up and pour the

milk into the glass okay let's test that

our machine is ready ready okay Kaye go

ahead all our here

go

yes

yes oh it's

working

Swing

Swing

Swing

Swing Swing it's almost there swing one

more one more swing there one one yes

it yes look it's spinning

look come on it's working it's so

working yes

almost almost here comes some

more yes yes yes yes

yes

[Music]

yes

yes

yes yes look at it look at it it's going

up it's going up

yes look oh to the to the

m

yes so cool

so and for the test shall we here I'll

this

see pretty

good it worked we did it woo we yes so

did

it this R Goldberg invention was pretty

hard to build getting the cans to roll

uphill took a lot of adjustments and

believe it or not getting the chicken

feet to look like they were really

walking took the most time but it was

fun to see how one thing made other

things go try making your own R Goldberg

invention it doesn't have to be as

complicated as ours and send your

designs to

W my name is Ryan I'm Michael and I'm

Dan this is our invention the great and

Goofy Gumball Gizmo at first drove one

qu into the styrr cup it will connect

the two pieces of tin foil which will

then activate the fan which will spin

around the wheel and axle and release

the balloon the balloon will activate

the pendulum come swing down and knock

over this block of wood activating this

lever over here and the gumball will go

down and hit the Bell to tell you when

the gumballs are ready while the Sam was

spinning the wheel and axle the wheel

and axle was pulling this string which

was moving the little car up the

inclined plane when it gets to the top

of the inclined plane it will dump these

two gumballs into this bottle which will

dump them into the tube and drop them

into the big bottle down there and

that's where you can pick your gumballs

up okay let's give it a
