[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

it's time

let's welcome the day

where's that cedar ready to go

whizzy and wig are good to go

speakers

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

mission control it's fun to learn

[Music]

it's fun to learn

[Music]

space everything you'd ever want is out

here

except for air and plants or or fish

lloyd who could have predicted my latest

spectacular creation

wouldn't be liked by anyone

indeed madame deliria it's difficult to

understand why no one was interested in

previously chewed bubblegum

cloyd just do stop playing around and

get rid of that dreadful stuff before

we're seen by

the zulu patrol

madam they've caught us

what do you mean us

be a peach and don't mention that i was

here

as always madame

creating a danger to nature improper

dumping of used bubblegum

hmm that's a new one

cloyd when are you going to learn to get

rid of trash properly

my apologies bula sir i've been a

naughty robot

oh

look at this poor little plant

hmm

it certainly is unusual

my it doesn't look very healthy

and that's an odd-looking stem maybe we

can take it back to headquarters and wig

and i can help it get strong and healthy

can we please

no

why not whizzy and wig will take good

care of it this is a job for the zula

patrol yeah

[Music]

let him take me

it's the perfect way to spy on the zulu

patrol

did i say no

i meant

i insist

take care madam

[Music]

helping this plant get healthy is going

to be a big responsibility it's kind of

like taking care of a pet or any animal

we can do it

uh

how's a plant like an animal an

excellent question one that is easily

answered in the multopedia

[Music]

both plants and animals are living

things all living things breathe grow

move and eat

take these three for example which are

living things

hmm

how can we tell consider the things that

all living things do they breathe the

bunny breathes like people do through

its lungs

plants breathe through tiny openings

called stomata on the undersides of

their leaves

and rocks well

they don't breathe living things grow

the rabbit grows

the flower grows the rock

doesn't grow

and living things move

the rabbit moves the plant moves

the rock doesn't move

so the rock is not a living thing but

the plant and animal are and animal is a

name for many different kinds of living

things that bunny is an animal and so

are birds fish insects and people they

all breathe move and grow and don't

forget

all living things eat but how they eat

is the big difference between plants and

animals

animals have to find or get their food

the plants don't need to go anywhere to

eat they can make their own food

[Music]

cool so what you're saying is

a snorting swine

[Music]

a bunny and a bird and a fish i've heard

i'll grow up big and strong did you ever

see a rock or a piece of chalk get

bigger no that's wrong

things like frogs will move and breathe

their knees they also grow and don't you

know they love that boogie

wig how do you think plants make their

own food i don't know wizzy hey let's

figure it out we'll study this plant

just like scientists yeah

[Music]

this is the perfect place for the plant

to grow

who's ready for lunch

[Music]

the plant doesn't want a banana it makes

its own food

[Music]

thanks bula i'm stuffed and now back to

work

don't you worry plant we are going to

take extra special care of you

i am not a plant and i am getting out of

here

madame delirious residence right can you

hear me this is all your fault

yes madam how dare i put you in such a

mess madam yes it's all my fault my

circuits are completely to blame get me

out of this place now

and bring me a cheese sandwich with

extra pickles

immediately madame

[Music]

since it's a living thing this plant is

going to grow i wonder how big it's

going to get

we don't know how you make your own food

yet

but we hope this helps spatula

right there

ketchup

salt and pepper

yeah sure

lizzy have you ever heard of plant

sneeze no but all living things breathe

maybe this plant sneezes too

okay plant make your food

no

yummy

do you think we should have brought a

cookbook nah

let's see how the other plants make

their food look they're all facing the

same way they're facing the sun

maybe they need the sun so they move

toward the sunlight yeah

living things move

hey look at our plant it's moving

towards something

the sunlight maybe that helps it make

its food then you know what we have to

do

[Music]

thanks gorga we couldn't move it by

ourselves

[Music]

the plant doesn't look too happy to be

in the hot sun not like all the other

plants maybe it just needs to be alone

let's go make our charts of what we've

observed so far

[Music]

oh

where is that cloyd there's got to be

something around here to eat

[Music]

food marvelous delicious food

[Music]

your cheese sandwich madam cloyd you've

alerted the zulu patrol quick get out

immediately madam

i meant with me

what happened and how did this plant get

to the kitchen plants don't just get up

and walk maybe this one did we've been

studying this plant and it really is

unusual

all plants breathe but this one sneezes

too

sneezes ah the other plants move toward

the sun this plant moves away from it

and all the other plants make their food

but right now this one's eating a cheese

sandwich eating a cheese sandwich if

plants make their own food and animals

have to get their food then this isn't a

plant it's an animal

oh my

we should let it be free

that seems to be what it wants you're

right

maybe we'll meet it again someday

well it did help us learn how plants

make their food we think it's got

something to do with being in the

sunlight fantastic research with the wig

you're absolutely correct

the way a plant makes food is called

photosynthesis

a plant uses its leaves to breathe and

to take in sunlight and they use their

roots to drink water and take in

nutrients which are like vitamins from

the soil then they're able to use the

sunlight

the stuff they breathe in the water and

those nutrients to make their food and

that's called photosynthesis

correct again yeah

dreadful experience gloyd

i don't know why i let you talk me into

it

now

get me something to eat

immediately madam until then would you

be interested in some previously chewed

bubblegum and so this goes to prove that

you can fool some of the people some of

the time but you can't pretend to be a

plant for very long

unless you've got corn growing out of

your ears

[Music]

hello science buff can you tell me what

this bushy plant and this cute little

animal have in common they both like

pistachio ice cream

well

both plants and animals are living

things and as living things they both do

many of the same things

do you remember what some of those are

that's right living things breathe

living things move

and living things grow

they were cute little fellas and there's

one more thing plants and animals have

in common

they eat right animals have to find or

get their food and plants can make their

own food right until next time bye-bye
