Sparks: At Hero Elementary,

all our students are super,

but sometimes,
they need a little help

coming out of their shell,

not unlike...

- Turtles!

♪

Aww!

male narrator: The turtle
lays its eggs in a nest

under the sand.

- Why under the sand?

narrator: There, the turtle
eggs will be safe.

- Oh!

male narrator:
Once the eggs hatch,

the tiny turtles dig their way
out of the sand at night,

and quickly race to the water.

- Aww, look at them scurry!

Aren't they the cutest
little things ever?

- [squeaks]

- Uh, besides Fur Blur,
of course.

- [squeaks happily]

- [giggles]

- But why do the baby turtles
come out at night?

male narrator:
They come out at night

because that is when
it is safest!

- [chuckles]
Well, that answers that.

male narrator: But the baby
turtles can get stuck

if something is in their way.

- Aww!

- What they need is heroes
watching their backs.

AJ: You mean shells.

Sara: [laughs]

- Yeah!

male narrator: Finally,
they reach the water

and swim away.

- Oh, way to go!
- Yeah!

- Yes!
Go, turtles!

- Well now that you know
about turtles,

you'll be all set for our trip
to Turtle Beach!

- I can't believe we're going
to watch them hatch!

I'm so excited!

- Oh, me too!

I can't wait to see
those cute little turtles

scurry to the water.

Scurry, scurry, scurry!

- It is an amazing thing
to see.

- I thought lots
of other people

might like to see it too!

That's why I made this sign!

- Ha!
Great turtle, Lucita!

- We can put it up
at Turtle Beach

so people know where to go.

- Very helpful!

- Let's go put it up right now!

- Well, we do want
to get there early

to choose the best place
for turtle watching.

all: To Turtle Beach!

- Let's go!
- Oh, yeah!

Sara: [laughs]
Can't wait!

[wind whooshing]

- Uh, why are you walking
like that?

- Just...being...careful.

The turtle eggs are hidden
under the sand, remember?

- True, but there will be flags
that show us

where we shouldn't step.

- Oh, yes!
Thought projecting!

I remember from the movie.

The flags mark where the nests
are hidden.

- Oh, good!

I wouldn't want to step
on a turtle egg!

[crunches]

[gasps]
Uh-oh!

Wait, what is all this?

Benny: Okay.

I've got you,
you little cutie patootie.

- A littered beach

is not a good place
for little hamsters.

- Or little turtles!

Sara: Over here!

Look, a marker flag!

- There must be a turtle nest
under the sand.

- I don't see any baby turtles.

- Yeah, 'cause they only
come out at night, remember?

- But this nest
is covered in garbage.

Hmm.

How are the baby turtles
going to scurry to the water

with all this litter
in the way?

We have to do something!

- Yes!

We shall help
those tiny little turtles!

- That's the spirit!

And who's the crew
who knows what to do?

- I wonder where all
this garbage is coming from.

- Well, if we could
figure that out,

then maybe we could stop it
from getting on the beach!

That would really
help the turtles!

- So what do you suggest?

- Maybe we can use our...

all: Superpowers of Science!

- Let's start by investigating

to see where this garbage
is coming from.

- I'll go with you, Lucita.

- I'll stay here
and keep cleaning the beach!

[whooshes]
- You'll need a hand!

- Or two!

- We need to move quickly

before it gets dark and
baby turtles start hatching!

Let's go!

Sparks: So AJ and Lucita left
to look for litter,

and a little later, they found
a whole lotta litter.

Literally.

- Looks like the garbage
is coming by land.

And by air.

- Blah!

[wind whooshing]

Lucita: And by water too!

But where is all this litter
coming from?

- Let's keep investigating.

[investigative music]

It seems to be coming
from the creek!

- But how does the garbage
get into the creek?

This overflowing garbage can
is making a mess!

all this garbage come from?

AJ, I think I know where all
the garbage really comes from.

People!

[upbeat music]

- Plastic here, paper here,
cans here.

- Where do these go?

- Hmm.

- We don't have a garbage can
big enough to hold those.

- Then I shall make one!

Bubble up!

- That'll work!

[strained grunt]

Whoa, whoa, whoa.
She sh**t, she scores!

- The beach is getting cleaner!

- Let's keep at it!

We've gotta make this beach
super clean for the turtles!

- Guess what?

We investigated,

and found out where
all this litter is coming from!

People!

- [gasps]
- What?

- Yes, people who make a mess
with their garbage!

- Why would anyone do that?

Don't they know their garbage
is ending up

in places like this?

- Maybe they don't know
what happens to their garbage!

- What kind of a person doesn't
know when they're littering?

[wind whooshes]

- You didn't know.

- [gasps]
My sign!

I made litter on Turtle Beach,
but I didn't mean to!

I guess I'm part
of the problem too!

- Ah, but knowing
what the problem is

is a great
Superpower of Science!

- Really?
- Sí!

And once you know
what the problem is,

then you can start to fix it,
yes?

- Yes!
We'll fix this!

What's the plan, team?

- We can get the rest
of this garbage off the beach

before the turtles hatch!

- And we can try to get people
to stop littering!

It's almost turtle time!

Let's go!

- Fantástico!

You all did a great job today,
class.

- The beach is clear and ready

for the tiny widdle turtles
to hatch!

- Now they can scurry
to the water

with nothing in their way!

a clear path to the water!

They're tiny, but mighty.

where your litter might go.

Luckily, these tiny turtles

had heroes watching
their backs.

could see us!

were see-through,

behind something

we couldn't see through it!

with the flashlight...

AJ: I can see you, Lucita!

Well, sort of.

Lucita: Yeah!

The light is kind of
going through the sign.

And I can kinda see two
light beams coming through!

- So, I guess light can go
right through some things,

and sorta go through
other things.

- [laughs]
How illuminating!

I love how you're
figuring this all out!

what we have to do

if we want to catch Spotnado.

Hide behind something

my student heroes

searched for a hiding spot

How about we hide
behind this wooden fence?

It looks solid.

I can't see through it,

can go through.
