Hey, is this thing on?
* Hey, sid, what do you say?
What you want to learn today? *
* I want to know why things
Happen and how and I want to
know everything now--oh, yeah!
How does this thing work?
Why does that stuff change?
How does that do what
it just did? Hmm.
What's up with the sky?
Do you think I could fly?
The world is spinning
and I want to know why
I got a lot of questions
and big ideas
I'm sid the science kid *

Ladies and gentlemen, please
give it up for the one and only
Sid! That's me.
Thank you, thank you very much.
Yeah. Hey, arnie, give me ,
buddy. Ok. Maybe later.
Hey, welcome to my room.
Oh, no. Arnie, look.
Aw, the frozen ice pop that my
mom made me melted.
I was gonna eat this, but I
forgot about it.
I guess the ice pop melted
overnight.
Doesn't it bother you when that
happens? It bothers me.
Now, I know ice pops melt, but
why can't my ice pops just stay
Frozen?
Why can't all things just stay
frozen?
I just got to know.
Why do my ice pops have to melt?
[Echoing]
sid! Breakfast time!
Ooh. Oh, boy.
Breakfast time!
Ooh, mom, dad.
Look, I left my ice pop on my
table overnight, and it melted.
You left an ice pop on your
table?
Uh-oh.
Yes, which I shall clean up
after breakfast.
Thank you, sid.
You know, it's too bad it
melted, but you could always
Make more.
Really? We can make more ice
pops?
Sure, you can.
Uh, how do ice pops freeze?
That's a great question, sid.
I'll tell you what.
I'll do some research on the
computer so I can show you.
Mom's really good at computer
stuff.
All righty, here we go.
I'll read the directions, and
you and dad can make some more
Ice pops.
Oh, ok. I am on it. Yes.
We are going to make ice pops.
I think there's some juice in
the fridge. Come on.
Let's take a look.
Oh, boy.
Ok, ready? Step one.
First, you put a slice of banana
at the bottom of a cup.
Then you poke an ice pop stick
into the banana.
That way the stick won't fall
over.
Next, pour in your juice.
Then put the cup in the freezer.
Then the really cold freezer
freezes it up, oh, and before
You know it, you have a yummy
ice pop.
* Ah ba da ba ba ba
ok, two cups ready to go in the
Freezer--one for sid and one for
his friend gabriela.
One for gabriela?
Yeah. You and gabriela have a
play date after school,
Remember?
Oh, yeah.
Gabriela's my best friend in the
whole wide world.
Hey, let's put those cups in the
freezer. It's ice pop time.
It's ice pop time.
Mm-hmm.
A-blammo. Heh.
Ok, all you have to do is
wait for them to freeze, and
You've got ice pops.
Hee hee hee!
[Gasp] hey, they're not ready.
They need more time than
that, sid.
Are they frozen now?
Not yet.
How about now?
Sid, it's gonna take some
time.
You just have to wait, buddy.
Ok.
And you have to eat breakfast
because we have to high-tail it
To school soon.
Oh, yeah.
* I love my mom
my mom is cool
But now it's time
for having fun at school, yeah *
Ha ha ha!
* I'm looking for my friends
I'm looking for you
There's gabriela *
* watch what I can do
La la whoo, la la whoo
oh, yeah *
Wow.
* I'm looking for my friends
I'm looking for you
Hey, there's gerald *
yeah. Check out my moves.
Uh! Uh! Ha ha ha!
I'm a rock star.
Cool.
* I'm looking for my friends
I'm looking for you
Hey, there's may *
may I show you how I groove?
* Ba da da da
ha ha ha! Yay!
Groovy.
* We're looking
for our friends
We're looking for you
hey, there's sid *
Did you hear the one about
the kid who wanted to know
Everything about everything?
That's you.
You got me.
[Laughter]
* da da da da da
* We're looking
for our friends
And look what we found
we found each other
Friends *
[laughter]
And now it's time for the sid
survey.
Hello, I am sid, roving
reporter, with today's survey.
The question--have you ever
eaten something frozen that
Melted?
Hey, you can think about things
that melt, too.
Oh, may, I have a survey
question.
Have you ever eaten something
frozen that melted?
Well, one time during the
summer, I had an ice cream
Sandwich melt all the way down
to my elbow, and my elbow was
Not very happy about it.
Isn't that right, elbow? Yeah.
Hmm, well, thank you, may...
And elbow.
You're welcome.
Oh, gabriela. Gabriela, have
you ever eaten something frozen
That melted?
Actually, yes.
Once, I was eating a red, white,
and blue frozen ice pop, and it
Melted on my hand, and then I
had a red, white, and blue hand.
Whoa, colorful. Thanks.
* La ha
hey, once I was eating a big
Bowl of cherry banana chocolate
chip ice cream, and it melted,
Blagh...
So it changed into cherry banana
chocolate chip soup.
Sounds yummy.
Ha ha! It was so good.
Ha ha ha!
Hmm. And now the results of
my survey. Gabriela's ice pop
Melted. May's ice cream sandwich
melted all the way to her elbow,
And gerald says his big bowl of
ice cream melted and changed
Into ice cream soup, and I hope
you thought about something that
Melts, too.
So, there you have it. I am sid,
roving reporter and melting
Expert.
Everybody! Rug time!
That's teacher susie!
* It's rug time
come on in
Rug time
take a seat
Rug time *
* we're ready
* Everybody move your feet
rug time *
* Teacher susie
* good time is on the way
Rug time
come on in
We've got a lot to learn today *
, , .
Blast off!
We're over here, astronaut
gerald.
Roger that, teacher susie.
Dropping in for a landing.
Oh, man.
Oh, boy.
Ha ha ha! So how is everyone
doing today?
Oh, we were talking about
frozen stuff that melted.
Oh, yeah, because sid left
out his ice pop, and it melted.
Yup. Sad but true.
Oh, sorry about your ice pop,
sid, but I bet all of you have
Had something frozen that
melted, right?
Yeah.
So here's a question for
everyone. If you wanted
Something to stay frozen,
where's the best place to keep
It?
Oh, uh, somewhere c-c-cold.
I think gerald has the right
idea. Where is somewhere really
C-c-c-cold?
Umm...
Oh! In the freezer!
Right!
Oh, no, sid. Your ice pops
melted because they weren't in
The freezer. Poor little ice
pops.
May is right. You know, when
juice or something liquid like
Water is kept really cold, over
time it freezes and changes to
Ice.
Yeah, and then when it's not
in a cold place, it melts,
Right?
You got it.
Hey, then can you freeze the
water back into ice?
Great question, sid. Yes, you
can. When something can change
Back and forth like that, it's
called reversible change.
Wow.
So, water can freeze and
become ice and then melt and
Then freeze back into ice.
And that's reversible change.
I like that change.
Me, too. So who wants to see
what happens when something
Frozen starts to melt?
We do!
Well, I know the perfect
place to investigate freezing
And melting. Ok, scientists. You
know where we're going.
To the super fab lab!
Grab your journals and let's
go.
All right!
Super fab lab.
Ok.
Super fab lab!
Observe!
Compare!
Contrast!
Wow!
We're going to do an
investigation called the ice
Block investigation.
Wow.
It's beautiful.
And guess what. The fruit
frozen inside the ice is going
To be your snack today.
Yay!
How are we going to eat the
fruit if we can't get to it?
Well, what happened to sid's
ice pop?
It melted.
Yes.
Aha. We'll wait for the block
of ice to melt into water.
Hold on. It takes a long time
for ice to melt. Oh, no.
Don't worry, frozen fruit.
We'll get you out of there.
Yeah, and then we'll eat
you. Ha ha ha!
I have an idea. Let's make
the ice melt faster.
Maybe we can put the block of
ice in a microwave. That'll melt
It really fast.
Ooh. Well, I'm afraid the
block of ice is too big for a
Microwave, but I like the way
you're thinking, may.
Thank you.
Oh! We could blow hot air on
it. Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!
Ha ha ha!
Oh, maybe not.
Hey, what if we pour
something warm on the big block
Of ice to make it melt?
Good idea, sid. Look around.
Is there some sort of liquid we
could use here in the super fab
Lab?
Um...
[Gasp] warm water from the
sink!
Good thinking, gabriela. I'll
go get some warm water, and
We'll start our investigation.
Yeah!
Cool.
You're scientists. You can
try this, too.
Here is our ice block filled
with fruit. Go ahead and touch
It. How does it feel? Is the ice
cold? Is it hard? Is it wet?
Draw a picture of what the ice
block looks like in your
Journal.
Ok, here's your challenge. Try
to get the fruit out of the ice.
Go for it.
Mmm. It isn't easy to break
through the ice.
It's frozen solid.
Now an adult is going to pour
warm water over the block of
Ice.
Wow! What is the warm water
doing to the ice?
It's changing the ice.
It's starting to melt.
Go ahead and touch the ice block
again. How does it feel now?
I think we need to pour some
more warm water over the ice.
Look, it's melting even more.
All right! The ice changed. It
melted. Now you can reach the
Fruit.
Go ahead. Enjoy your fruit
snack, and when you're done
Eating, draw your observations
in your journals. Remember what
The ice was like when it was
frozen and then after we poured
On the warm water and it melted.
Mmm. These grapes are good
and cold.
I'm glad you're all enjoying
your chilly fruit snacks.
Oh, I can't wait to see what
observations you made in your
Journals. Sid, let's take a look
at your journal first.
Oh. Oh, ok. Um, here's the
big block of ice before you
Poured on the warm water, and
here's the ice after you poured
The warm water.
Mm-hmm.
When the ice melted, it made
a big puddle of water at the
Bottom, and all the fruit went
for a swim!
Ha ha ha!
Good observation, sid. Ok,
gabriela, let's see your
Journal.
Oh, sure. You poured warm
water on the ice, but it only
Melted a little bit. I poked at
the ice, and I still couldn't
Get to the fruit.
Mm-hmm.
Then you poured on more warm
water and even more warm water.
It took so long for the ice to
melt so we could eat the fruit.
Great observations, gabriela.
All of you scientists made great
observations. So now I have a
Question. If we put the melted
water into the freezer, do you
Think we could change it back
into ice?
Hmm.
Yes, because ice can melt
into water.
Yeah, and then freeze back
into ice.
Yeah, and that's reversible
change.
Yes!
I'm impressed. My scientists
know so much about freezing,
Melting, and reversible change.
I think it's time to play with
all your new ideas.
Yeah!
Playtime. Go ahead.
All right.
It's time for...
Good laughternoon! Ha ha ha!
Why was the baby's juice pop
crying?
I don't know. Why?
Because he wanted his ice mom
and ice pop.
Ice pop. Ha ha ha!
Knock knock.
Who's there?
It's me--may. Sid, you're a
really nice friend.
Oh, um, well, thanks, may. Do
you have a joke?
Nope. Bye-bye.
Ha ha ha!
Hey! Hey, gabriela?
Yes?
What do you get when you mix
water, frozen juice, and slushy
Ice?
Water, juice, and slushy ice.
Hmm. I don't know. What?
You get a frozen juicing
slushing popper schmopper blabba
Blee blee blee blah.
Ha ha ha!
Now, that's funny. Ha ha ha!
[Pre-recorded laughter]
[kids laughing]
Ok, let's play freeze. When I
yell "freeze," your whole body
Becomes frozen and you can't
move.
And when I say "sun's out," that
means it's warm, and so you melt
And dance around.
Yeah!
Ooh, I like this game.
Ready? Freeze!
I'm f-f-freezing.
And now the sun's out.
Melt. Ah.
I'm melting.
We're changing.
Now freeze!
Sun's out.
Ah!
Ah, melting.
Now freeze.
Sun's out.
Melt.
Freeze. Melt. Freeze, melt,
freeze, melt, freeze, melt,
Freeze, melt.
That's too fast!
Ha ha ha!
And now...
It's time...
For susie...
To sing!
Go, susie!
Why, thank you. Thank you,
and thank you. You know, all
This talk about reversible
change reminds me of a couple of
Penguin friends of mine.
* Ooh, ooh, ooh
in the summertime
You dip and dive
in the clear blue water
That shimmers
shimmers
The sun shines down
and we splash around
You won't see happier swimmers
then winter brings the cold
So the water starts to freeze
we don't mind when it turns to
Ice
can we slide on our bellies
Please?
On penguin pond
things keep changing
From ice to water and water to
ice, back and forth
We live in a changing paradise
what was water now is ice
Still the summer sun
melts the ice and then
We'll be swimming once again
on penguin pond
We swim and slide on the same
pond
We don't find it strange
water turns to ice
And back to water
that's called reversible change
On penguin pond
things keep changing
From ice to water
and water to ice
Back and forth
we live in a changing paradise
What was water now is ice
still the summer sun
Melts the ice and then
we'll be swimming once again
On penguin pond *
yay!
Ha ha ha!
Awesome!
It was so cute in the song
when the penguin slid on her
Belly all over the ice.
Yeah, and then when the ice
melted, those penguins went
Splash, splash, splash in the
water.
Ha ha ha! Hey, in the song,
the icy pond melted into water,
So...ice is just frozen water,
right?
You're right.
And the icy pond melts to
water and then freezes back into
An icy pond, and that's
called...
Reversible change!
I'm so impressed with all my
scientists. You're all
Reversible change experts. Ok,
let's get ready to go home, and
You can tell everyone about
freezing and melting.
All right! Hey, come on,
gabriela. You've got a play date
At my house today.
Yay! A play date.
All right.
It's time to go home.
* Back seat driving with
grandma *
Whoo!
So a play date today. You
guys are lucky.
Yeah, and if we're really
lucky, my ice pops in the
Freezer will be ready.
Hey, sid's grandma, did they
have freezers when you were a
Little girl?
Of course we had freezers,
but when my grandma was a little
Girl, that's a different story.
Ha ha ha! When my grandma was
growing up, she didn't have a
Freezer. She had an ice box. And
do you know what was inside?
Ice! Ha ha ha!
It was a big old box with an ice
block, and everything next to
The ice stayed cold. And when
it was hot outside, the ice
Inside the box would melt. Yeah.
Sometimes you'd open up the
door, and all you'd find was a
Big old puddle of water. Ha ha
ha! Water. Yeah. How do you like
That? And then, to keep things
cold, you had to put in a
Brand-new block of ice.
Hey, that's what happened to
my ice pops. They melted.
Grandma, do you think my new ice
pops are frozen yet?
I don't know. Let's go find
out.
Yeah!
My grandma's the coolest
grandma in the whole world.
* We learned something cool
something cool today
We know it upside-down
and inside out
We learned all about
reversible change *
Ha!
Two scientists in the house!
Stack.
[Applause]
do you think they're frozen
Yet?
I'm not sure. Do you think
they're frozen?
I don't know.
I don't know either.
Well, there's only one way to
find out if they're frozen. Here
We go.
Come on, juice. Please,
please, please, please be
Frozen.
Oh, pretty, pretty, pretty
please be frozen.
Uh-oh. Guess what. You have
frozen juice pops!
Yay! Ice pops. Yeah.
Oh, and they look really
good. So I say eat up, kids!
Yum.
Thank you.
Oh, you're welcome.
Ah. Today was the best day
ever. We got to melt a big block
Of ice and eat the fruit inside.
Yum! But the ice didn't melt
right away. No way. It takes a
Long time for ice to melt, and
it takes a long time for water
To freeze. That's why you got to
keep ice pops in the
Freezer--so they don't melt. And
that got me thinking. What if I
Wanted to make a really big
juice pop that wouldn't fit in
The freezer? How would I do
that? Hmm. [Gasp] I've got it.
Ok, here's my super dooper ooper
schmooper big idea. I'm gonna
Invent the biggest juice pop in
the whole world. So first, I'll
Need a super huge t*nk of orange
juice. Then I'll take a
Helicopter and fly the t*nk to
the south pole, where it's
Really, really cold. The whole
place is like a giant outdoor
Freezer. Then the big t*nk of
juice will freeze into a giant
Juice pop. But here is the best
part. I'm gonna carve my giant
Juice pop into a special shape.
When I'm all done, I'll have the
world's biggest ice pop--in the
Shape of my favorite stuffed
animal dinosaur--arnie!
And that's my super dooper ooper
schmooper big idea.
[Applause]
thank you. Ooh, hey, watch this.
Hoo hoo hoo! Ha ha!
It's cold. I'm ice.
Now it's hot. I'm water.
I am sid...
The science kid. [Echoing]
remember, keep asking lots and
Lots of questions. See you
later, scientists. Whoo hoo!
It's cold. Now it's hot.
Wow!
Oh, hi. We're just checking
out our website. You can explore
With us.
Yeah, that's a great idea.
Come join us. Visit
pbskids.org, and there's a lot
Of great information for
grownups, too.
I think we look pretty good
on the computer.
Yeah.
Investigate, explore,
discover!
Wow!
Hey, I know how to
investigate, explore, and
Discover, and I bet you do, too.
Ha ha!
Investigate--that's when you
want to find stuff out.
Explore--that's when you look at
things in the world around you.
Discover--that's when you
investigate and explore and you
Find out something new.
Hey, scientists. There's lots
more amazing science coming your
Way. My friends and I will learn
how to use science tools,
Investigate how things change,
discover our senses, and explore
How to keep our bodies healthy.
So come join me, sid the science
kid.
* Hey, sid, what do you say?
What you want to learn today? *

May is right. You know, when
juice or something liquid like
Water is kept really cold, over
time it freezes and changes to
Ice.
Yeah, and then when it's not
in a cold place, it melts,
Right?
You got it.
Hey, then can you freeze the
water back into ice?
Great question, sid. Yes, you
can. When something can change
Back and forth like that, it's
called reversible change.
Wow.
So, water can freeze and
become ice and then melt and
Then freeze back into ice.
And that's reversible change.
I like that change.
Me, too. So who wants to see
what happens when something
Frozen starts to melt?
We do!
Well, I know the perfect
place to investigate freezing
And melting. Ok, scientists. You
know where we're going.
To the super fab lab!
Grab your journals and let's
go.
All right!
Super fab lab.
Ok.
Super fab lab!
Observe!
Compare!
Contrast!
Wow!
We're going to do an
investigation called the ice
Block investigation.
Wow.
It's beautiful.
And guess what. The fruit
frozen inside the ice is going
To be your snack today.
Yay!
How are we going to eat the
fruit if we can't get to it?
Well, what happened to sid's
ice pop?
It melted.
Yes.
Aha. We'll wait for the block
of ice to melt into water.
Hold on. It takes a long time
for ice to melt. Oh, no.
Don't worry, frozen fruit.
We'll get you out of there.
Yeah, and then we'll eat
you. Ha ha ha!
I have an idea. Let's make
the ice melt faster.
Maybe we can put the block of
ice in a microwave. That'll melt
It really fast.
Ooh. Well, I'm afraid the
block of ice is too big for a
Microwave, but I like the way
you're thinking, may.
Thank you.
Oh! We could blow hot air on
it. Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!
Ha ha ha!
Oh, maybe not.
Hey, what if we pour
something warm on the big block
Of ice to make it melt?
Good idea, sid. Look around.
Is there some sort of liquid we
could use here in the super fab
Lab?
Um...
[Gasp] warm water from the
sink!
Good thinking, gabriela. I'll
go get some warm water, and
We'll start our investigation.
Yeah!
Cool.
You're scientists. You can
try this, too.
Here is our ice block filled
with fruit. Go ahead and touch
It. How does it feel? Is the ice
cold? Is it hard? Is it wet?
Draw a picture of what the ice
block looks like in your
Journal.
Ok, here's your challenge. Try
to get the fruit out of the ice.
Go for it.
Mmm. It isn't easy to break
through the ice.
It's frozen solid.
Now an adult is going to pour
warm water over the block of
Ice.
Wow! What is the warm water
doing to the ice?
It's changing the ice.
It's starting to melt.
Go ahead and touch the ice block
again. How does it feel now?
I think we need to pour some
more warm water over the ice.
Look, it's melting even more.
All right! The ice changed. It
melted. Now you can reach the
Fruit.
Go ahead. Enjoy your fruit
snack, and when you're done
Eating, draw your observations
in your journals. Remember what
The ice was like when it was
frozen and then after we poured
On the warm water and it melted.
Mmm. These grapes are good
and cold.
I'm glad you're all enjoying
your chilly fruit snacks.
Oh, I can't wait to see what
observations you made in your
Journals. Sid, let's take a look
at your journal first.
Oh. Oh, ok. Um, here's the
big block of ice before you
Poured on the warm water, and
here's the ice after you poured
The warm water.
Mm-hmm.
When the ice melted, it made
a big puddle of water at the
Bottom, and all the fruit went
for a swim!
Ha ha ha!
Good observation, sid. Ok,
gabriela, let's see your
Journal.
Oh, sure. You poured warm
water on the ice, but it only
Melted a little bit. I poked at
the ice, and I still couldn't
Get to the fruit.
Mm-hmm.
Then you poured on more warm
water and even more warm water.
It took so long for the ice to
melt so we could eat the fruit.
Great observations, gabriela.
All of you scientists made great
observations. So now I have a
Question. If we put the melted
water into the freezer, do you
Think we could change it back
into ice?
Hmm.
Yes, because ice can melt
into water.
Yeah, and then freeze back
into ice.
Yeah, and that's reversible
change.
Yes!
I'm impressed. My scientists
know so much about freezing,
Melting, and reversible change.
I think it's time to play with
all your new ideas.
Yeah!
Playtime. Go ahead.
All right.
It's time for...
Good laughternoon! Ha ha ha!
Why was the baby's juice pop
crying?
I don't know. Why?
Because he wanted his ice mom
and ice pop.
Ice pop. Ha ha ha!
Knock knock.
Who's there?
It's me--may. Sid, you're a
really nice friend.
Oh, um, well, thanks, may. Do
you have a joke?
Nope. Bye-bye.
Ha ha ha!
Hey! Hey, gabriela?
Yes?
What do you get when you mix
water, frozen juice, and slushy
Ice?
Water, juice, and slushy ice.
Hmm. I don't know. What?
You get a frozen juicing
slushing popper schmopper blabba
Blee blee blee blah.
Ha ha ha!
Now, that's funny. Ha ha ha!
[Pre-recorded laughter]
[kids laughing]
Ok, let's play freeze. When I
yell "freeze," your whole body
Becomes frozen and you can't
move.
And when I say "sun's out," that
means it's warm, and so you melt
And dance around.
Yeah!
Ooh, I like this game.
Ready? Freeze!
I'm f-f-freezing.
And now the sun's out.
Melt. Ah.
I'm melting.
We're changing.
Now freeze!
Sun's out.
Ah!
Ah, melting.
Now freeze.
Sun's out.
Melt.
Freeze. Melt. Freeze, melt,
freeze, melt, freeze, melt,
Freeze, melt.
That's too fast!
Ha ha ha!
And now...
It's time...
For susie...
To sing!
Go, susie!
Why, thank you. Thank you,
and thank you. You know, all
This talk about reversible
change reminds me of a couple of
Penguin friends of mine.
* Ooh, ooh, ooh
in the summertime
You dip and dive
in the clear blue water
That shimmers
shimmers
The sun shines down
and we splash around
You won't see happier swimmers
then winter brings the cold
So the water starts to freeze
we don't mind when it turns to
Ice
can we slide on our bellies
Please?
On penguin pond
things keep changing
From ice to water and water to
ice, back and forth
We live in a changing paradise
what was water now is ice
Still the summer sun
melts the ice and then
We'll be swimming once again
on penguin pond
We swim and slide on the same
pond
We don't find it strange
water turns to ice
And back to water
that's called reversible change
On penguin pond
things keep changing
From ice to water
and water to ice
Back and forth
we live in a changing paradise
What was water now is ice
still the summer sun
Melts the ice and then
we'll be swimming once again
On penguin pond *
yay!
Ha ha ha!
Awesome!
It was so cute in the song
when the penguin slid on her
Belly all over the ice.
Yeah, and then when the ice
melted, those penguins went
Splash, splash, splash in the
water.
Ha ha ha! Hey, in the song,
the icy pond melted into water,
So...ice is just frozen water,
right?
You're right.
And the icy pond melts to
water and then freezes back into
An icy pond, and that's
called...
Reversible change!
I'm so impressed with all my
scientists. You're all
Reversible change experts. Ok,
let's get ready to go home, and
You can tell everyone about
freezing and melting.
All right! Hey, come on,
gabriela. You've got a play date
At my house today.
Yay! A play date.
All right.
It's time to go home.
* Back seat driving with
grandma *
Whoo!
So a play date today. You
guys are lucky.
Yeah, and if we're really
lucky, my ice pops in the
Freezer will be ready.
Hey, sid's grandma, did they
have freezers when you were a
Little girl?
Of course we had freezers,
but when my grandma was a little
Girl, that's a different story.
Ha ha ha! When my grandma was
growing up, she didn't have a
Freezer. She had an ice box. And
do you know what was inside?
Ice! Ha ha ha!
It was a big old box with an ice
block, and everything next to
The ice stayed cold. And when
it was hot outside, the ice
Inside the box would melt. Yeah.
Sometimes you'd open up the
door, and all you'd find was a
Big old puddle of water. Ha ha
ha! Water. Yeah. How do you like
That? And then, to keep things
cold, you had to put in a
Brand-new block of ice.
Hey, that's what happened to
my ice pops. They melted.
Grandma, do you think my new ice
pops are frozen yet?
I don't know. Let's go find
out.
Yeah!
My grandma's the coolest
grandma in the whole world.
* We learned something cool
something cool today
We know it upside-down
and inside out
We learned all about
reversible change *
Ha!
Two scientists in the house!
Stack.
[Applause]
do you think they're frozen
Yet?
I'm not sure. Do you think
they're frozen?
I don't know.
I don't know either.
Well, there's only one way to
find out if they're frozen. Here
We go.
Come on, juice. Please,
please, please, please be
Frozen.
Oh, pretty, pretty, pretty
please be frozen.
Uh-oh. Guess what. You have
frozen juice pops!
Yay! Ice pops. Yeah.
Oh, and they look really
good. So I say eat up, kids!
Yum.
Thank you.
Oh, you're welcome.
Ah. Today was the best day
ever. We got to melt a big block
Of ice and eat the fruit inside.
Yum! But the ice didn't melt
right away. No way. It takes a
Long time for ice to melt, and
it takes a long time for water
To freeze. That's why you got to
keep ice pops in the
Freezer--so they don't melt. And
that got me thinking. What if I
Wanted to make a really big
juice pop that wouldn't fit in
The freezer? How would I do
that? Hmm. [Gasp] I've got it.
Ok, here's my super dooper ooper
schmooper big idea. I'm gonna
Invent the biggest juice pop in
the whole world. So first, I'll
Need a super huge t*nk of orange
juice. Then I'll take a
Helicopter and fly the t*nk to
the south pole, where it's
Really, really cold. The whole
place is like a giant outdoor
Freezer. Then the big t*nk of
juice will freeze into a giant
Juice pop. But here is the best
part. I'm gonna carve my giant
Juice pop into a special shape.
When I'm all done, I'll have the
world's biggest ice pop--in the
Shape of my favorite stuffed
animal dinosaur--arnie!
And that's my super dooper ooper
schmooper big idea.
[Applause]
thank you. Ooh, hey, watch this.
Hoo hoo hoo! Ha ha!
It's cold. I'm ice.
Now it's hot. I'm water.
I am sid...
The science kid. [Echoing]
remember, keep asking lots and
Lots of questions. See you
later, scientists. Whoo hoo!
It's cold. Now it's hot.
Wow!
