J on right
over okay so where's this puzzle it's
right here see it's supposed to be a
[Music]
tiger uh Jim what this is a box of corn
flakes
[Music]
M there's nothing like my mom's homemade
apple pie apple pie is my favorite this
is my mom's recipe it was sent in by my
mom thanks Mom start by taking a pie
crust and laying it on a pie plate just
like
that now go over to your oven make sure
you put on some oven mitts
Now open up your oven and make sure that
the rack is in the
center preheat your oven to
425° if you can't it's okay if you ask
me
don't now come back over you're going to
peel and slice eight apples take your
peeler and peel the
apples peel peel
peel all
right there that should be good get all
your peels into a
bowl let's slice your
[Music]
Apple make sure you get them kind of
thin you don't want them too thick in
your apple
pie kland apples are my mom's favorite
but if you can't find those any
mediumsized Apple will be just SP put I
can toss these in all right now take a
cup of
sugar pour it in the mixture and half a
teaspoon of cinnamon then you mix it up
with your
hands
yeah make sure you wash your hands
before you do
this oh it smells really
good once your apples are mixed going to
add some flour so mix them up and just
kind of
add some in this makes it thicker then
pour your mixture into your
pip wo that's a lot of apples push it
all into the
middle and take your other pie
crust and put it on top and lay it on
top and you're going to fold bottom pie
crust over the top and pinch
it so f it up and over and
pinch and up and over and
pinch there you
go kind of sloppy but it's okay then cut
three sets of two be in the
top so you make little slits little
leaves this is so that it can steam when
it gets really hot in the
oven very there we go now take three
thin strips of aluminum and wrap it
around the edge of your P this is so
that it doesn't Brown too quickly just
going to wrap it like that fold it
around the
edge want to get it over the side of the
crust a little
bit mix it go down and put on your Min
and open the oven get it all ready
pick up your pth and put it
in you're going to bake for 25 minutes
and after 25 minutes you're going to
take it out with your MX still on take
off the oen foil and dig it for another
15 and then once your pie is cooled you
know what to
[Music]
do
yummy I'll give myself a little plate
I have some apple
pie got get
Fork that's good apple pie thank you so
much Mom it's really
[Music]
good have you ever seen something
something out of the corner of your eyes
like right now I'm looking straight
ahead but I can still see Courtney who
hooping beside me doing pretty well
Courtney it's kind of like you're
looking straight ahead at the TV now but
you can still probably see if someone
sitting beside you on the couch this is
called peripheral vision H are from
bigger steel California emailed us to
say that you notice things look
different when you look at them with
your peripheral vision we're going to
try to experiment to try this out we
want to find out how good we are seeing
something moving shape color and detail
like this letter with our peripheral
vision okay Franchesco I've cut out tons
of different shapes on different pieces
colored to paper so on each of them I've
written different letter so can you
stand
on let me just draw an X somewhere can
you stand on the X sure and look
straight ahead now um I'm going to draw
a semicircle and it should be about in
arms like the way so can you stick out
your arms y
[Music]
okay yeah okay now I'm going to choose
one of these letters and slowly walk
around you you have to tell me when you
first see something moving what color
you see what shape you see and what
letter you
see movement uhhuh
[Music]
color what color is it
green so I have the shape and letter oh
yeah shape and shape Circle
yeah uh
shape and the letter is
B
[Music]
letter good job what you want to know
sure
[Music]
movement dud that was really
th color col okay I don't want to be
wrong red no a no who else shape
triangle
yeah so still have any idea on the color
I think it's orange oh yeah it's
orange so shape and color in the same
place
letter no I don't have it keep
going
letter
H I got shape and color before iy got
color movement and color blue wao
nice is it a square
yeah okay she just needs a letter keep
going going to keep walking
letter all right letter G
right je Yay good job cool we all well I
got moving the first but we all pretty
much got like the first still really
soon I got shape and color here and
movement up here I got shape up in here
over here wow so was your shape Circle
and then we all pretty much letters
right here's the side shebe on how this
works the back of your eye is called the
retina the retina has special cells
called rods and cones that catch
light you can find rods all over your
eye but cones are only found in the
center while both rods and cones help
you see only cones help you see color
when the shape was here we were looking
straight ahead so we can only use the
corner of our eye our peripheral Vision
to see it that's why Courtney and
Franchesco could see movement here but
couldn't see color I could see movement
and color when the shape was here closer
to the center of our vision we saw what
part of our ey that has more Combs so we
were able to see color we could also see
shape except for me I didn't see shape
until we're all the way down here when
the shape was here we're using the
center of our eye to see it which is
packed with cones which made it easier
to see the letter that was on the shape
how good is your peripheral vision is it
better in a bright room or in a dark
room try it out and send your results to
zoom in the meantime keep watching cuz
later in the show we're going to show
you how there's one spot in everyone's
Vision where you can't see
anything get ready for more Jim and
Judy
Judy
[Music]
hello hi Judy it's me Jim I was
wondering if you could help me you see I
have two horses and I can't tell them
apart what am I supposed to
do well do you have me
talk no why don't you write our number
one on one horse and our number two on
the other horse that's a great
[Music]
idea
hello Judy yeah it rained and the chalk
washed off the
horses H oh well do you have a pair of
scissors yep why don't you give one of
the horses a haircut then you can tell
them apart okay I'll do that thanks
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
bye hello hi Judy it's me Jim I have a
problem
you told me to cut one of the H's hair
well the horse's hair grew back J J down
and take a deep
breath well could you suggest something
else okay okay find out which hor is
bigger hang on I'll go
[Music]
check thanks so much Judy this is great
you help me realize that the White Horse
is bigger than the black horse h
[Music]

J
dear Zoom there's a spot in your eye
where scientists believe everyone is
blind here's the experiment to prove it
from Alissa B of Rochester New York
Alissa says that you can find out where
your blind spot is only using a marker a
ruler and a piece of paper okay here's
what you do take a piece of paper and
draw a small LS on the right
side now take your ruler
and measure about 5 in and draw a DOT
the size of a penny on the
left size of a p that's really
good okay now hold the paper in front of
you and shut your right eye look at the
x of your left side even though you're
looking at the X you should still be
able to see the dot out of the corner of
your eye yep I can so now try moving the
paper slowly towards you
and FW away you to the left and to the
right remember keep on looking at the X
at one point the do will seem to
disappear I got it mine disappeared
right here mine's like right here oh my
gosh it's
awesome mine's
here wow that's cool that really scary
what happens here to the dot Mine just
turns like disappears and turns orange
yep wo two like there's nothing there
and it's still
cool here's the side on why this works
on the back of your eye your retina you
have a lot of rods and cones that send
messages through your brain along your
nerves which are like
wires but instead of going right through
the retina the nerves first all come
together and then go through the retina
in just one spot in this spot there
aren't any rods and cones since there
aren't any rods and cones to catch light
you can't see that part of your eye the
reason you don't notice your blind spot
is because your brain feels in that part
of your vision with what it thinks
should be there when the black dot went
into my blind spot my brain filled into
spaceous orange because that's what
surrounded it how big is your blind spot
do the dot still disappear if it were
the size of a quarter How about if it
were different shape like a square or a
star come up with some ideas and send
them into
you got a fale to present a wicked sweet
experiment send us Fe an idea that'll F
or open up the mind's ey it to to who

Zoom game to play this game all you need
is the ball and some handkerchiefs the
game is called steal the bacon and it

middle and call out numbers say I call
out two all right run and try to get it
the two yeah they run and try to get the
ball first now whoever gets it first
takes it back to the thing yeah but then
what you want to do is if the other
person gets it first you want to take
their
handkerchief and you get a point if you
do that so so so if they take it back
