- Whoa! Hey!
It's me, Blippi.
And today, we are
at a very fun place
and I am so excited to show
you where we're at. (laughs)
Look!
Today, we're at EdVenture
in Columbia, South Carolina,
and this is a children's
museum. (laughs)
We are gonna have so much fun.
(upbeat music)
Whoa!
Look at this place. (laughs)
Oh, hello.
- Hi!
- Whoa.
This is so cool.
Do you know what type
of vehicle this is?
Yeah, you guessed it.
It's a fire truck.
Check it out.
(horn honks)
Wow.
This truck is massive.
Here's the door.
Here's a handle.
Whoa!
Hey. Hello.
(dog barks)
(Blippi barks)
(Blippi laughs)
Whoa, look how big
these hoses are.
This one connects the
fire truck all the way
to this fire hydrant.
Look, could you see
the whole thing?
Yeah.
And that's a really big hose.
And then a smaller hose
goes from the fire
truck to the sprayer.
(water sprays)
(Blippi whooshes)
Whoa!
Yeah!
I love puttin' out fires.
(laughs) Cool.
Do you wanna go
explore the fire truck?
Yeah.
Oh, there's the ladder up there.
Do you see it?
Yep, so then you can
climb really high
and save people from the fires.
Okay.
(upbeat music)
Wow.
So cool.
Look, you can even dress like
a fire person, firefighter.
Okay.
Firefighter Blippi to
the rescue. (laughs)
Oh, let's. Whoa!
Looks like we're on a call.
But look down here,
here's some more cool things.
Looks like an axe, a pick,
an extra hose.
Oh, a fire extinguisher.
Ooh, and a breathing apparatus.
Let's go inside
the fire truck now.
(Blippi laughs)
Okay.
Let's check out the inside
where you drive the fire truck.
Oh, hello firefighters.
(Blippi laughs)
(crowd cheers)
Whoa.
We're inside the fire truck now.
Couple of seats
facing backwards.
Then a couple of
seats facing forward.
Whoa! Here we go.
Oh, push the lights on.
Whoa.
(siren wailing)
Yeah!
(Blippi imitates siren wailing)
We're gonna go put
out some fires, yeah!
(upbeat music)
Hey! (laughs)
These blocks are colourful.
Whoa!
Whoa!
(blocks rattle)
(Blippi laughs)
Oh, that's so much fun!
Hello everyone.
Today on television,
we are at the news station,
and there is a lot of great news
happening today at
this children's museum.
Do you wanna know what it is?
Yeah, we are learning so much.
And at this location,
we're learning about
all types of news
equipment, like this.
This is a giant camera.
Yeah, a camcorder.
It sh**t videos.
Watch, I'll go stand over here,
and then the camera points at me
while I'm typing on
my computer. (laughs)
And look.
Hello!
Hey!
Today, we're having
a great time.
(Blippi sings)
(Blippi laughs)
Oh, that's so cool
being a news anchor.
And how the operators
control the camera,
and the lights, and
the sound is from this.
This is a giant control
board, like mission control.
(Blippi beeping)
Whoa!
So many buttons.
Oh, and check out these
columns of buttons.
This column is the colour green.
This column is
the colour yellow.
(bell ringing)
This colour is the colour blue.
(bell ringing)
And this colour.
What colour is that?
Yeah, the colour red.
(bell ringing)
Whoa.
Woohoo!
(upbeat music)
Yeah!
Whoa!
Hey!
Hey!
It's me, Blippi.
I bet you didn't recognise me
with my veterinarian
coat on. (laughs)
I'm taking care of some animals.
Come on in.
Look.
Oh, hey puppies.
There's a puppy right there.
Ooh, a cute little kitty.
Meow, meow!
(gasps) Whoa.
This is Lizzy the lizard.
(Blippi gurgles)
(laughs) So cute.
Veterinarians take care of
animals when they're sick,
yeah, like this little
puppy right here.
This is Roger.
(laughs) I like Roger.
He's a very sweet pup,
but we need to check up on him,
so let's go over here.
Let's put him right here.
Okay.
Stay there, Roger.
I'm gonna go grab
all of my tools.
Whoa, look, a stethoscope.
Thing to look inside his ears.
A thermometer. Yeah.
So let's just check
his heartbeat.
Ready?
(heart b*ating)
Yeah, that sounds great.
Good job, Roger.
Okay, now the last
thing we have to do
before we put on this
neck thing for him,
we have to check his x-rays.
Wow!
Look.
Do you see that white area?
Those are his bones.
There's his spine right there.
Looks like all of
his bones are good.
So let's go back to Roger.
Let's give him a little pet.
Give him a comfort.
Oh, Roger. (laughs)
You're so cute. (laughs)
Okay, Roger, what I'm gonna do
is put this around
your neck, okay?
Okay. Here you go.
So this make sure that
Roger doesn't bite
himself down here.
Just like how you
itch right here,
dogs like to bite themselves,
but nice and gently.
Yeah.
Now he can't go over
there and bite himself,
because what actually
Roger's problem was,
he had fleas. (laughs)
That's okay, Roger.
We'll get you all fixed up.
Okay, Roger.
Okay.
See you soon.
(laughs) Good job.
(upbeat music)
(gentle upbeat music)
Hey! (laughs)
Come on in here.
This room is so cool.
It has putt-putt golf.
It has a game of
chess over here.
Connect Four.
Whoa, and a spaceship.
First, let's play
putt-putt golf.
Whoa!
(crowd cheers)
I got my putter
and my golf ball,
my green golf ball.
Okay, let's go right over here.
Okay, the goal of golf is to
put the ball on the green,
just like this, and you hit it
and try and make it go
all the way into the hole
in the least amount of
strokes as possible.
So let's count 'em together.
Ready?
Oh! (laughs)
That's one.
Yeah!
Oh, so close.
(laughs) That's two.
Yeah, three strokes.
Good job.
Okay, what else is around here?
(Blippi gasps)
Whoa!
Chess.
This game is really tough.
And these are called pawns.
This is the king.
Yep, the king. (laughs)
And this, where's the queen?
Right over here.
This is the queen.
Yeah! (laughs)
Whoa.
Whoa, tic-tac-toe?
Do you know this game?
You need to get
the three in a row.
Ready?
X.
X.
O.
Aw! (whines)
(crowd groans)
Oh, I know.
O, O, O!
Yeah, good job.
Oh, and another
game where you do
four things altogether.
(screen whirring)
(bell rings)
Whoa! (laughs)
That's silly. (laughs)
Is Connect Four.
Okay.
Do you see an area
where we can just put
one circle to make four?
(gasps) Yeah.
Right here.
One, two, three.
So, let's take
either a red one
or a black one and make it four.
What one do we take?
(clock ticking)
Yeah, a red one.
Ready?
Yeah. We did it.
Good job. (laughs)
I love playing games with you.
It's so much fun.
Whoa.
And look at this.
This room also has
a giant spacecraft.
(rocket engine whirring)
(Blippi knocking)
Yeah, this space
shuttle is awesome.
We can fly to outer
space together.
Let's go.
Come on.
Whoa.
Okay.
Yep. Let's fly.
Should we go to the Earth?
(laughs) We're already there.
Do we go to orbit or the Moon?
Yeah, let's go to the Moon.
Oh, Houston.
Yep, we're in the air. (laughs)
Awesome. Good job.
Woohoo!
This is awesome! (laughs)
Woohoo!
(upbeat music)
Whoa.
Do you see him?
Wow.
This is Eddie.
Whoa!
And Eddie is so big!
Eddie is the world's
largest kid. (laughs)
He's years old and
he's feet tall.
Wow. That's really tall.
Let's go and explore Eddie.
When you go and explore Eddie,
you can see his
insides, he's so big.
Whoa.
(Blippi patting)
Look at this.
This is a shoe.
And look, it's a
shoe lace. (laughs)
Whoa.
His foot is massive.
Look, this is my shoe. (laughs)
It's a lot smaller
than Eddie's. (laughs)
Okay.
Whoa!
Geez.
Here, Eddie is so big
that I'm gonna go inside,
but you go up here
and then you can see
me go inside, okay?
(gentle upbeat music)
(upbeat music)
Whoa!
Hey!
I just climbed up
from the bottom.
Whoa. And we are inside Eddie.
Wow. Look at this.
Whoa. Is this his stomach?
Whoa.
Yeah, it's his stomach.
Whoa. Wee! (laughs)
Whoa, it's so cool to
see inside of Eddie.
He is so big.
His stomach is bigger than me,
but my stomach, yeah, it's
probably about this size.
(laughs) Pretty cool.
All right, I'm
gonna keep going up.
Whoa. (laughs)
I'm going up the
spine right now.
Whoa! (laughs)
I climbed up Eddie's spine.
Whoa. And where are we now?
So we were about right
here in the stomach area,
but now, we're right here.
What's right here that
beats all the time?
(heart b*ating)
Yeah, your heart.
Whoa!
Check this out.
Wow.
This is Eddie's heart.
Wow, it's so big. (laughs)
So cool to see inside his body.
His heart is a lot
bigger than your or mine.
Ours is about this size.
Yeah, right there. (laughs)
This size.
But his is this size. (laughs)
Okay, now I'm gonna
keep going up his spine
to somewhere else.
You'll see soon.
(gentle upbeat music)
(upbeat music)
Whoa!
I just climbed up all the way
from the bottom to
the top of Eddie.
And look, my head and
face is at the top.
(gasps) And look.
Whoa!
Check it out.
Do you see this?
This is Eddie's face.
Wow. See his two eyes?
One.
Two.
And his teeth right here.
Wow. This is so cool.
(laughs) It's like we're food.
Om-nom-nom.
Whoa.
And can you look up here?
Wow.
This is Eddie's brain.
Whoa, that's where
he thinks a lot,
just like you and me.
When we learn things,
we use our brain.
Good job.
Whoa!
Eddie is really big, (laughs)
and I am really small
compared to Eddie. (laughs)
(upbeat music)
Whoa!
Whoa! Do you see this?
(visitor laughing)
Whoa.
This is an aeroplane simulation.
Whoa.
It's like I'm actually
flying an aeroplane.
Whoa.
And check it out, there's
two more right here.
You can fly aeroplanes
in these simulations.
Hm, I wish I could fly an
aeroplane like a real cockpit.
(Blippi gasps)
Look.
There's a real
aeroplane cockpit.
Whoa!
This is so cool.
There's a lot of fuses up here.
Yep, they feel all really good.
(gasps) And down here,
we have the yoke,
and there's some pedals.
Whoa.
There's so many cool gauges
and instruments here.
Whoa! (laughs)
Wee! (laughs)
This is awesome.
Wow.
But now, I think it's time
for me to be a
passenger. (laughs)
Okay.
Whoa. Check this out.
There's a lot of seats.
All right, take your seat.
Let's take a seat right here.
(laughs) Gotta buckle up.
Oh, here we go.
You have to be safe
when you're flying in
an aeroplane. (grunts)
Whoa!
(laughs) This is nice.
This is actually a .
Whoa!
(laughs) I like this.
This is fun riding
in an aeroplane.
Okay, I guess we landed.
All right.
Now we're here.
Now let's go learn some more.
Woohoo!
(gentle upbeat music)
Oh, hey.
I'm just reading
a book. (laughs)
(upbeat music)
(laughs) Hey!
I'm just making some
tasty food. (laughs)
Yum!
Mm.
Mm, that's tasty.
I'm at a restaurant, yeah,
helping all my
customers eat some food.
Have you ever wondered
where the food
comes from at a
restaurant like this?
Yeah. I'll show you.
Come on.
(gentle upbeat music)
This is a grocery store,
and restaurants sometimes
get their food from
a grocery store.
Look.
Like some carrots,
some tomatoes.
Whoa.
And even pieces of corn.
Do you know how many
pieces of corn there are?
One.
Two.
Three.
Yeah, three pieces of corn.
Whoa, and look over here.
Whoa.
That's a lot of meat
in this section.
Yeah, like a fish.
(Blippi imitates fish gurgling)
(Blippi laughs)
Okay. Let's go over here.
Let's grab a shopping cart.
(gentle upbeat music)
Let's grab some milk.
- [Visitor] Oh!
- And you saw me using ketchup
and mustard over there.
Yeah, we got, need
some of those.
Whoa! Whoa!
(laughs) Wee! (laughs)
Hey, in another place
that restaurants
get all of their food from,
yeah, is the farm.
Directly from the farm.
So let's go over there.
Come on.
(gentle upbeat music)
Do you see this area?
Wow!
That tractor.
Yeah, tractors are on farms.
Whoa!
This is so cool.
Yeah. (laughs)
And tractors plough
a bunch of the land.
Then you have to water the soil.
Yeah, like over here.
Come on.
Whoa.
Check it out.
Let me pull this up. (groans)
Whoa.
I just picked a beet.
Hey. Look.
Oh.
Here we go.
Let's put this beet right here.
Oh.
Look, another vegetable.
Let me just. (groans)
Yum.
I love kale. (laughs)
I love food that's the colour
green, like vegetables.
So yummy.
Whoa!
Whoa! (laughs)
Woo.
And over here, this kind of
looks like (groans) collards.
Yum.
Another yummy food.
Let's put it right in there.
Okay, now let's go
back to the restaurant.
Oh, wait a second.
Something else I think we need
is to go in this factory.
Remember, we had some
milk in our cart,
in the shopping cart.
Yeah.
Whoa, look, a chicken.
Hey, chicken.
Yeah.
They don't produce milk.
They've produce eggs.
Yeah.
One, two, three, four.
Four eggs.
Whoa.
Did you hear that?
(chicken clucking)
Yeah, it's another chicken.
Yeah. Hey, chicken.
(Blippi laughs)
Whoa. And look at this.
Whoa, this is where
the milk gets bottled.
Yeah, that's so cool.
They're all spinning
around right there,
and then it goes
through these tubes,
and then it goes
down into this area,
and the raw milk storage.
Wow. This is so cool.
It gets bottled up and then
goes to the grocery store.
Yeah!
(Blippi shivering)
I'm so cold.
Look, it's winter here,
and there's so much snow.
Look over here.
Whoa.
Hello. Hey!
(polar bear growls)
That's a polar bear.
Polar bears live where there's
tonnes of snow. (laughs)
Whoa. Check this out.
This is a mountain.
Whoa, and this mountain, you
can sled down it. (laughs)
Whoa. Can I try?
Whoa, thank you.
You're so nice for sharing.
Okay. Here I go.
(upbeat music)
Hey!
I'm up here and
you're down there.
Here I come.
Three, two, one.
Whoa!
(laughs) That was awesome.
(laughs) Whoa.
All right, someone else's turn.
Whoa. There we go.
Ooh, I really love
winter time. (laughs)
(cheerful music)
(upbeat music)
We are gonna be team green.
Yeah.
Yeah, team green.
Here we go!
(upbeat music)
Yeah, good job.
Woohoo! (laughs)
Team green!
Oh! (laughs)
Look, these are snowballs,
and I have a snowball launcher.
Here we go!
(upbeat rock music)
We're having a snowball fight.
(upbeat rock music continues)
Whoa!
She's winning. (laughs)
Woohoo!
(Blippi groans)
All right, I am pretty cold.
We should probably
go into warmer area
of the children's museum.
(laughs) Let's go.
Whoa! Hey.
This children's museum even
has an outdoor section.
(gasps) What are these?
Whoa. Helmets.
You wear a helmet when
you do something outside
like rollerblading,
skateboarding, riding a bike.
I wonder what they have here.
First, let's put on a helmet.
Ooh, I like this one.
It's the colour green.
Ooh. (laughs)
Oh, might be a little tight.
Oh, I think that's
okay. (laughs)
Okay. Here we go.
Oh.
Look, a recycling truck.
(laughs) I love recycling
trucks. (laughs)
(gasps) Yes, a bicycle.
Wait a second.
Bicycle means two wheels.
Bi means two.
But this has
one, two, three.
Three.
Yeah, tri.
T-R-I.
Tricycle.
Yeah!
Here we go!
(sound wobbling)
Oh.
(tricycle squeaking)
Oh.
It's not working. (laughs)
Let's try another tricycle.
Okay.
Here we go.
(upbeat music)
Whoa! (laughs)
Whoa.
Wee! (laughs)
Whoa.
Whoa, that was awesome.
Okay, let's put
that right there.
Perfect.
Oh.
Looks like a lot of
water toys over here.
Whoa!
(chain squeaking)
Whoa!
That's awesome.
But did you see this over here?
Whoa.
Do you know what kind
of vehicle this is?
Yeah.
It's an aeroplane.
(Blippi imitates
aeroplane whirring)
(aeroplane engine rumbling)
Wow.
Look at it.
It has two big wings.
(whooshes) And look at this.
This is a propeller
of the aeroplane.
Whoa.
It turns around and then creates
a lot of thrust. (whooshes)
Let's look inside the aeroplane.
Whoa!
Look.
Whoa!
It's like I'm flying
the aeroplane.
Whoa. (laughs)
This is awesome.
Wee!
(upbeat music)
Whoa!
Let's go.
Wow. (laughs)
I had a lot of fun at
that children's museum.
Yeah!
(upbeat music)
Whoa!
Did you love learning with me
at EdVenture Children's Museum?
(crowd cheers)
(Blippi laughs)
I really loved learning
with you today.
Well, this is the
end of this video,
but if you wanna watch
more of my videos,
all you have to do is
search for my name.
Will you spell my name with me?
B-L-I-P-P-I.
Blippi.
Good job.
All right, see you again.
Bye bye.
Woo!
Hey.
It's me, Blippi.
And today, I'm at the
Hands On Children's Museum
in Olympia, Washington.
And I am so excited,
because this place, you
get to learn so much.
(laughs) Let's go.
(laughs) Come on.
(laughs) Oh, hey!
I was just using this telescope
to see some really cool things.
Whoa!
Whoa, speaking of cool,
look at this wall.
Wow.
There's a lot of pumps
that pushes the air
through these tubes.
And check this out.
Let's take a green handkerchief
and put it right in here.
Or it's a scarf. Ready?
Whoa!
Whoa.
Oh, there it is. (laughs)
Shall we do it again?
But this time, let's turn this,
and now it's gonna
take a different path
because it blocked the air
from going the original path.
Ready?
Three, two, one.
(horn blowing)
Whoa. Whoa!
(laughs) That was fast.
Okay, let's go right over here
and try a different colour,
like this yellow scarF,
and this orange scarF.
Ready?
Three, two, one.
(horn blowing)
Whoa!
Whoa!
Under the leg. (laughs)
Woohoo!
Yellow and orange.
(gasps) Whoa.
What is this?
This is where you can
build a rocket ship,
and then on the other
side, blast it off.
All right.
First, we need this.
Wrap around one
piece of white paper.
Yeah, here we go.
Yeah.
And then we take
a piece of tape.
(laughs) Tape is really nice.
Two, tape two pieces
of paper together
just like this.
You can also use glue,
but glue sometimes
gets a little messy,
so this time we're
just gonna use tape.
All right.
Now, we have the
body of the rocket.
Okay, now we need to make fins,
just like this.
Hm, let's see here.
How do we do this?
(laughs) I don't know. (laughs)
All right.
Let's cut 'em.
Used to be a big rectangle,
and now I'm gonna go like this.
(gentle upbeat music)
And we made a triangle.
Okay, now let's
fold it like that.
Okay, there's one.
Now.
Now we have another triangle.
Yeah.
Okay, fold that.
Now we can tape these fins
on the body of the rocket.
(groans) That tape
is really tough.
Okay. Here.
Okay.
There's one fin.
How does that look?
Really good.
Then we'll do a fin
on the other side.
There we go.
Yeah.
How does that look?
That looks really good. (laughs)
Now we need to do the nose cone.
We can use the same
piece of paper.
All right.
So it looks like we
do a little circle,
but then
we go like this.
(gentle upbeat music)
It's kind of a
circle on one side,
half circle, and
then makes a point.
So then looks like you
roll it up just like that.
Perfect.
Now (groans), we can tape this.
Whoa, we're almost done.
All right.
Now, let's tape
this to the rocket.
(Blippi laughs)
My rocket (groans)
doesn't look that good,
but we'll see how it flies.
(Blippi laughs)
Let's also take some of
these from previous people,
and maybe one of these
will fly really good.
Just in case if
mine doesn't fly,
this one looks like it
might fly really good.
We'll bring this
right over there.
Okay, this is the launch pad.
So first thing you have to do
is put it right
on the launch pad.
All right, this is the
rocket that I made,
and then we need
to pressurise it.
There we go.
All right, and this
is the launch button.
I'm gonna launch it.
Five, four, three,
two, one.
Whoa!
Oh, we did it.
Yeah. Good job.
That was the rocket
that you and I made.
All right.
And remember that
rocket that we grabbed
from the recycling bin?
Let's see how good this
person's rocket goes.
All right.
Okay.
Ooh, that's on
there nice and snug.
Gotta pressurise it.
(Blippi groans)
T-minus five, four,
(bell ringing)
three, two, one.
(bell ringing)
Zero!
(machine rumbling)
Oh.
Hey, look.
(laughs) Maybe that's why
it was in the recycling bin.
(laughs) That's so silly.
Hey, come on.
Whoa, this looks
like an art studio.
Whoa.
And check that out.
That looks like
a homemade robot.
That's pretty cool.
Yeah, that is art
because someone made it.
Ooh, even a sink,
so then you can wash your hands,
because you might get a little
dirty in the art studio.
Whoa.
This area is really cool
because it has hot glue g*ns.
They're turned off right now.
But it melts this
glue really hot,
and then you can glue things
(clicks) like
that, really quick.
Whoa.
Hey, look at these.
These are art pieces
that other kids made.
Wow.
They look so beautiful
and so colourful.
Ooh. Let's keep exploring.
Wow.
I love creating things. (laughs)
Oh!
Oh, hey!
- Hi.
- Who are you?
- My name is Brin.
- Ooh, that's a nice name.
- Welcome to the MakeSpace.
- (laughs) The MakeSpace.
Whoa!
What do you do at the MakeSpace?
- Here, we can make all
sorts of arts and crafts.
We can build robots.
We can do some painting.
We can even do some
drawing and colouring.
- Whoa, that sounds like fun.
Do you have an art
project that I can do?
- We sure can.
Would you like to build a crown?
- Oh, sure.
- This right here,
you can take that
and go ahead and decorate
however you would like it.
- (laughs) All right.
Thank you so much.
- Bye bye.
- All right, let's
make a crown together.
Wow.
All right.
So let's take this,
and it looks like we take
these yellow things and
wrap it around our head.
Oh wait, it's not big enough.
Wait a second, I have an idea.
Let's take this stapler
and staple two together
just like that.
And now it can definitely wrap
all the way around my head.
So let's make sure
it's the correct size.
Perfect.
There we go.
(stapler clicking)
There we go.
Now I have some extra
that I'm gonna take
a pair of scissors
and cut off the extra.
Yeah.
See, now it's a circle,
and this will fit on my head.
Yeah, just like that.
All right, let's put
the extra back in here,
and now we get to use all
of these things to decorate.
So let's put the stapler back,
and now let's take this marker
and colour some blue
squigglies on it.
Yeah, that looks really nice.
Ooh. Yeah.
Hm, what other colour?
Maybe a purple marker,
and we'll do some squigglies,
but the other opposite way.
Whoa!
And we'll go, wheew!
And then this side,
we'll do zigzags.
Wow!
And down the middle.
Ooh, and we'll do some black.
Whoa.
This is looking so good.
There we go.
Okay.
Now, we have some yellow things
that are nice and soft.
Tickle, tickle, tickle.
(Blippi sneezes)
(laughs) That tickled me.
Okay, let's put some
yellow things right here,
just like that.
See that?
Yeah, this is
looking really good.
Good job.
Okay, there's another one.
Wow.
We will do a third one.
Perfect.
There we go.
Move those like that.
All right.
How is this looking?
Really good?
(laughs) I bet.
I know one thing that's missing.
I think it's missing
a flower. (laughs)
Okay, I'll put that right there.
How do I look? (laughs)
Now you can call me
King Blippi. (laughs)
Woohoo! (laughs)
Good job being
creative. (laughs)
Tickets.
Get your tickets. (laughs)
Who wants a ticket
to my show? (laughs)
Yeah, I'm selling tickets
to my show. (laughs)
Do you wanna see my routine?
Yeah, it's gonna
be really funny.
Okay, I gotta go back
stage and get ready.
Meet me back there, okay?
Oh no.
This isn't good.
I'm not prepared at all.
Oh.
Okay. (pants)
Okay, Blippi, you got this.
Blippi, you got this. (sighs)
Okay.
Okay. I got this.
(dramatic music)
- [Announcer] Ladies
and gentlemen, Blippi!
(crowd applauding)
(microphone tapping)
- Test.
Testing.
Oh, okay.
Welcome everyone.
I have some really funny
jokes for you. (laughs)
(groans) Okay.
What do you call a
dinosaur that's sleeping?
A dino-snore.
(cymbals crashing)
(Blippi laughing)
(crickets chirping)
(crowd groaning)
Okay.
(audience member coughing)
Why did the child
cross the playground?
To get to the other
slide. (laughs)
(cymbals crashing)
(crowd groaning)
(baby crying)
Oh no, this isn't working.
I gotta figure out
something fast.
(gentle upbeat music)
(crowd cheering)
(Blippi imitates plane whirring)
Whoa!
Hey.
It's me, Blippi.
And today, we are here at
the Royal Air Force Museum,
in London, England.
Yeah!
I am so excited
because you and I get
to learn about planes.
Whoa!
(laughs) Planes
are awesome, yeah.
They're things that
people have built
so you can fly in
the sky. (laughs)
Hey, can you think
of something else
that flies in the sky?
Hmm.
Yeah, birds.
Woo! (laughs)
Whoa.
I think planes are so cool
because they let people
fly just like birds.
And today, we get to see
some really awesome planes.
Come on.
Let's take a closer
look. (laughs)
(upbeat music)
Whoa!
Check it out.
This plane is so big.
It's called the
Short Sunderland MR .
Wow!
And check it out.
It has massive
propellers. (laughs)
Yeah, two on each wing.
Two on one wing, and
two on the other wing.
Two and two means
four propellers.
What? (laughs)
That's so many. (laughs)
Whoa.
And this plane is really big.
Yeah, it's feet tall.
Oh! (laughs)
And feet long.
(Blippi laughs)
Yeah, and it has a
wings span of feet.
Whoa!
Hey, and do you notice anything
interesting about this plane?
Hm.
Yeah, it's the
bottom of the plane.
It looks kind of like a boat,
and you notice the windows?
Yeah, the windows are circles,
and maybe you've
seen those on a boat
or a submarine before, yeah!
Do you know why that is?
That's because this
is a sea plane.
Yeah!
And there are two
kinds of sea planes.
There are float planes
and flying boats, yeah.
A float plane is
just a regular plane
with floaties on the bottom.
But a flying boat is
a boat on the bottom.
Yeah.
Wow!
Whoa.
(metal knocking)
(laughs) It's made of metal.
It's so (knocks) musical.
(metal knocking rhythmically)
(laughs) Whoa!
That is awesome.
It's really important that
the Short Sunderland
MR is a flying boat
because it was built
a long time ago, yeah,
and it would fly
really far distances
across the Atlantic Ocean.
Huh? Yeah.
And there weren't a lot
of places for it to land
on the land, so it could
just land in the water.
(laughs) This is so awesome.
Hey, let's go take
a look inside.
Come on. (laughs)
(upbeat electronic music)
(screen whooshing)
(screen whooshing)
Whoa!
That was awesome.
Let's keep exploring. (laughs)
Whoa.
(upbeat electronic music)
Whoa.
Ooh.
(upbeat electronic music)
(screen whooshing)
Whoa, check it out.
It's a helicopter.
Whoa.
A rescue helicopter.
Hello?
Whoa.
This is fun.
Drivin' the helicopter.
(Blippi imitates
helicopter whirring)
(Blippi beeps)
Whoa!
This is really cool.
Whoa, it's so bright
and yellow, yeah.
Whoa. Look at it.
Whoa!
It's a real life rescue
helicopter, yeah.
Whoa.
It is so cool and so bright.
Yeah, it's the colour yellow.
Yeah.
And it's really important that
it's a bright
colour like yellow,
so if you need rescuing,
you can see it. (laughs)
Hello!
Whoa, and check it out.
(laughs) This looks familiar.
It looks like the same
kinds of floaties on
a sea plane. (laughs)
This is in case
it needs to land,
it can float in
the water. (laughs)
Wow!
You see up there?
Look, it's a really
big propeller.
Whoa! (laughs)
Woo. Yeah.
A propeller on a
rescue helicopter
is so strong and so fast,
so it can go through
any kinds of weather.
If it's really windy,
(wind blowing)
or really rainy. (groans)
(laughs) It'll be able to
make it through the storm.
Wow.
Hm, and what's this? (laughs)
There's a duck. (laughs)
Hello, mister duck.
- Hello Blippi.
- Hi. How are you today?
- Oh, I'm doing just fine,
just being a duck.
- (laughs) Well,
it's nice to see you.
Bye bye.
- Bye bye.
- (laughs) So silly.
Whoa! No way.
It's the cockpit of
the helicopter, yeah.
And you see there's a window?
That window's really important
because the pilot can look out
and make sure the rescue
is going great. (laughs)
Whoa. And look over here.
Come on!
(upbeat music)
Whoa. Look at it.
The most important part of
a helicopter rescue mission.
Yeah, this is the winch.
(bell ringing)
Whoa! Yeah.
The winch is what
someone would clip onto,
yeah, so they could drop down
from the helicopter
and save someone, yeah.
They just grab on tight and woo!
Up they go back
into the helicopter.
Whoa. (laughs)
And once they were inside,
there would be a doctor
and maybe a snack,
(laughs) so they would
be nice and safe.
Wow!
Look at it.
There's beds, and lots of seats,
and floaty devices.
Whoa.
Helicopters are
awesome. (laughs)
(Blippi imitates
aeroplane whirring)
Whoa!
Look at where we are.
We're inside of a hanger.
Yeah, a hanger is a place
where they store all kinds
of jets and aeroplanes .
Whoa.
And look at this jet.
Let's go look at the cockpit.
Come on. (laughs)
Whoa. Check it out.
This is awesome.
This jet is called the Tornado.
Whoa.
And it goes really fast.
Yeah. Look at it.
This right here is the cockpit.
That's the place
where the pilot sits
to steer the plane.
(Blippi imitates
engine whirring)
(Blippi laughs)
Whoa, look at it.
There's another seat
right behind the pilot.
Yeah, that's where
the navigator sits,
and he makes sure that
you're going in the
right direction. (laughs)
Whoa, it's so big,
and so cool. (laughs)
Hey, and look here.
It has really big wings.
Whoa.
Huh?
And it looks like the
wings can open up.
Yeah.
They open up so the plane
can do different things.
When they're really
open really wide,
it helps the plane be
nice and stable to land.
But if this jet wants to
go really, really fast,
they close up, woo,
to zoom away. (laughs)
Yeah.
And that's really helpful
because the Tornado
likes to fly low.
Yeah, really low.
Sometimes as low as a tree.
Whoa. (laughs)
Well, we'd better go
see some more jets.
Come on! (laughs)
(upbeat music)
Whoa.
There are so many planes
and jets here in
the hanger, yeah!
Whoa, and look at the
back of the Tornado.
Whoa. (laughs)
This is where the
jet engines are.
Yeah, look.
This one doesn't have an
engine in it right now.
But look, this
one does. (laughs)
Ooh. Hello! (laughs)
So shiny. Yeah.
These jets can go
so fast. (laughs)
Whoa.
Ooh, let's go see if
we can find some more.
I think this is another jet.
Yeah.
This jet right here is
called a Buccaneer, yeah.
Buccaneer.
Do you know why
it's called that?
Hm, I wonder why.
Well, I bet it's called that
because these planes take
off from aircraft carriers.
Yeah.
Do you know what an
aircraft carrier is?
Yeah, they're really big boats
that store lots of planes.
And you see this wing?
Yeah, look, the wing,
they fold. (laughs)
Yeah, they fold just
like your arm can fold
or a piece of paper, yeah.
They fold, so you
can fit lots of plane
tight together on an
aircraft carrier, yeah.
And look, it has really
big wheels and tyres,
(laughs) kind of like a car.
But that helps the plane land
nice and safe and roll smoothly
down the runway. (laughs)
Whoa! It's so big. (laughs)
Ooh, I think I
see another plane.
Come on. (laughs)
Whoa. Check it out. (laughs)
Wow.
This plane is awesome!
Yeah! (laughs)
Whoa
Whoa.
You see the plane
hanging above me?
Yeah, it's called a Harrier.
Yeah, a Harrier.
Whoa.
It's also called a jump plane.
Hm, a jump plane. (laughs)
I like to jump.
Will you jump with me?
Okay, let's jump
like a jump plane.
(laughs) Whoa.
(laughs) Whoa.
That was really fun
jumping together.
Do you know why it's
called a jump plane?
Yeah, that's because it
has really powerful engines
that can change direction, yeah.
Instead of going out of
the back of the aeroplane,
they can go (whooshes)
under the aeroplane,
and it can take off straight
up like a helicopter.
Whoa.
That's pretty cool. (laughs)
Hey, I think I
see one last plane
that we should look at.
Come on.
Whoa. Do you see it?
Hm, do you see another plane?
Hm, I see one too.
It's enormous!
It's gigantic!
It's the Hercules. (laughs)
Whoa. Look at it.
It has a really
big nose. (laughs)
Yeah.
That's what the front of a jet
or plane is called, the nose.
Ooh!
(laughs) Yeah
And this one has
a really big nose.
Look, it's the colour
black. (laughs)
Hercules planes are so cool
because they're so big.
They're so big that
they can even transport
and carry people and
vehicles. (laughs)
Whoa.
That's really big.
This plane can carry
cars and trucks.
What? (laughs)
Wow. These jets are so cool.
We should keep exploring.
Come on. (laughs)
(whooshes) Whoa!
Mark II, yeah!
It's so much fun riding
in the cockpit of
a plane. (laughs)
But this plane looks
a little small.
Hey, why don't you and I
try to find a real cockpit?
Whoa.
And a really big plane. (laughs)
Come on, let's keep exploring.
(screen whooshing)
(gentle upbeat music)
(screen whooshing)
Whoa.
Look at what I'm wearing.
This is an actual flight jacket.
Yeah.
This is what a pilot would wear
if they were flying
in an aeroplane, yeah.
Whoa.
And check it out.
Come on. (laughs)
It's one of my
favourite aeroplanes .
It's a Spitfire, yeah!
Oh look, and there's a person.
Let's go say hello. (laughs)
Hi, I'm Blippi.
What's your name?
- Hi, I'm Chris.
- Oh, it's nice to
meet you, Chris.
Whoa, could you tell me a
little bit about this aeroplane?
- Yeah. This is a Spitfire.
It's one of those most
beautiful aircraft we have here.
- Whoa.
I love this Spitfire.
It's so cool.
And it's camouflage.
Whoa!
Is it green and grey
on the top and bottom?
- Yeah, it's a little
bit blue on the bottom.
- Oh, that's so cool.
I bet that's so that
you're on the ground,
you can't see it in the sky.
- That's right.
- Whoa.
Blending in. (laughs)
Chris, would it be okay
if I got in the Spitfire?
- Okay.
- Noway!
We get to sit in the cockpit
of a real life Spitfire.
Yeah!
Okay. Let's go. (laughs)
Okay. Here we go. (laughs)
Whoa.
Whoa.
Check it out.
I'm in the cockpit
of a Spitfire.
Yeah!
This is so cool.
Whoa.
Chris, what are all these
buttons and controls?
- Yeah, there's so many
buttons, aren't there?
- Yeah.
- So they tell you
how fast you're going, or
how much fuel you have,
or even where you're going.
- Whoa. That's so cool.
Looks like there's all
these different dials
and levers and buttons.
And is this the steering wheel?
- [Chris] Yeah, it's
called a spade grip.
It looks a bit
like a small wheel.
- Whoa. Spade grip.
And does that turn the
plane left and right?
- Yeah, that makes
it go up and down.
If you wanna go left and right,
you have to press those
pedals at the bottom.
- Whoa. Check it out.
Yeah, there are pedals,
so you can move the plane
left and right with
your feet. (laughs)
Whoa.
Hey, and what's this
with my left hand?
What's that?
- What do you think it is?
- Well, it says, oh. (laughs)
I see what that says.
Throttle.
Wow.
- So that makes it go faster.
- Whoa. (laughs)
Faster and slower. (laughs)
Wow. This is so cool.
Oh, and what's
this over here do?
Oh, it looks like it's
connected to wheels.
Why does it need wheels?
- Yeah, so if you're in the air,
you can pull the lever
and the wheels go up.
- Whoa, that is
so cool. (laughs)
I feel like I'm
ready to be a pilot.
Well, thanks so
much for teaching me
about the Spitfire, Chris.
- You're welcome.
Enjoy the flight.
- I'll see you soon. (laughs)
Whoa.
I feel like a real
life pilot, yeah!
Whoa.
Look at what it is.
It's a flight simulator.
We've seen so many cool planes,
and now we get to feel
what it's like to
fly in one, yeah!
And this simulator simulates
or makes it feel like they're
really ultra low flights.
So you're in a plane
really low to the ground,
and we're gonna be exploring
the country Wales. (laughs)
Okay. Let's go inside.
(upbeat music)
(plane engine rumbling)
Here we go!
(upbeat music)
(screen whooshing)
Whoa!
Whoa, that was awesome.
Woo!
(screen whooshing)
Wow, I had so much
fun with you today
here at the Royal Air Force
Museum in London, England.
We got to see aeroplanes ,
and jets, and rescue
helicopters. (laughs)
I even got to sit in the
cockpit of a Spitfire plane.
Yeah!
Well, that's the
end of this video,
but if you wanna watch
more of my videos,
all you have to do is
search for my name.
Hey, will you spell
my name with me?
(laughs) Great.
Okay.
B-L-I-P-P-I.
Blippi.
Good job.
Well, I'll see you soon.
Bye bye.
