]] Hey, scientists, it's
me--sid.

I want to know why my face hurts
when I laugh a lot, so my

Friends and I are gonna
investigate our bodies and

Discover how they work.

Come explore with me.

"Sid the science kid" coming up
next.

]] 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

Oh, hi. I'm sid. I--ha ha ha!

Hang on. Hang on. Ha ha ha!

I'm sorry.

I can't stop laughing. Oh...

My dad told me the funniest joke
yesterday.

Seriously, it's the funniest
joke ever.

I can't even think about it
without laughing.

Ok. Here it is.

Ask me--ha ha ha! Ha ha ha!

Ow! Ow. My face hurts.

Ooh, that happened to me
yesterday, too.

Dad told me the joke, and I
laughed and laughed and laughed,

And then afterwards, my face
hurt.

Well, why?

Is my face trying to tell me it
doesn't like the joke?

But it's a really good joke, so
why does my face hurt like this?

Hmm, I just got to know.

When I laugh a lot, why does my
face hurt? [Echoing]

]] Sid, breakfast time.

]] Ooh, breakfast. Ha ha!

Breakfast time!

Hello. Good morning, everybody.

]] Morning, sid. Ok.

Come on, zekey.

Open wide for funny face, huh?

Shoo shoo shoo shoo.

Bsh shoo shoo shoo shoo.

]] Hey, dad, I know how you can
get him to laugh--the best joke

In the world.

Watch this, zeke.

Ok, dad. Go ahead.

Tell me the joke you told me

A hundred times.

]] Ah, thanks, alice.

]] Ah, hey, my face hurts again.

Why does it hurt when I laugh
a lot?

My face should be happy it just
got to hear the best joke ever.

]] Oh, I think your face likes
that joke just fine.

It's the muscles in your face
that get sore when you use them

To laugh really hard.

]] What? Muscles in my face?

I thought my muscles were right
here.

Mm, look at those arms, super
strong.

Yeah! Mm! Flexing.

]] They are, sid, but you have
muscles all over your body.

Every time you move, you're
using some muscles.

]] Oh, wow.

]] That's right.

Without muscles in your face,
you could never do this...

]] And now it's time for the sid
survey.

]] Hello, I am sid, roving
reporter, with today's survey,

The question--where do you have
muscles in your body?

And you can think about
where you have muscles in your

Body, too.

Let's go get some answers.

]] Sid, I know.

I have muscles in my legs.

That's how I pedal my tricycle.

See? Whee! Bye.

]] Huh, cool. Bye.

]] Look out below!

]] Whoa! Hey, gabriela, where do
you think you have muscles in

Your body?

]] Oh, well, I must have muscles
in my feet because they help me

Stop when I come down the slide.

]] Oh, that's a good point.

]] Did someone say muscles?

]] Yep.

]] Hey, I think I have a lot of
muscles...

]] Oh.

]] In my eyebrows. Ha!

Watch this. Up, down, up, down.

Mm, mm, mm, mm. Ha ha!

Boy, when I do that a lot, it
kind of hurts my eyebrows.

]] Oh, yeah.

I know what you mean.

Boy, if you think that hurts,
you should try laughing a lot.

]] Ok. I will. Ha ha ha!

[Both laughing]
]] hmm, and now the results of

My survey.

May says she has muscles in her
legs.

Gabriela thinks she has muscles
in her feet, and gerald says he

Has muscles in his eyebrows.

]] Ha ha ha!

Sid, sid, you're right.

Now my face hurts from laughing.

Ha ha ha! Ok. Bye.

]] Bye. Ha ha ha!

Ah, well, there you have it.

I am sid, roving reporter and
muscles expert.

Maybe you thought about where
you have muscles, too.

]] Everybody! Rug time!

]] Ooh, that's teacher susie!

Ha ha ha!

]] Rug time. Whoo hoo hoo!

]] Oh! I'm carrying a really
heavy box full of chickens and

A zebra.

Ha ha! Oh! Ooh! Ooh!

I almost dropped it there.

]] Well, have a seat, but don't
drop it, gerald.

]] Ok. I'll try not to. Oh, no!

There go all the chickens.

Oh, bye, zebra. Ha ha ha!

]] Ha ha ha!

So, how's everyone doing today?

]] Great. On the playground, we
were all talking about muscles.

]] Yeah, because when I was at
home, I laughed so hard at a

Joke my dad told me, the muscles
in my face hurt.

]] Wait a minute.

We have muscles in our face?

I thought we had muscles in our
legs.

I thought we had muscles in our
feet and our arms.

]] Well, you're both right.

We do have muscles in our legs,
feet, and arms, but they're not

The only muscles in our body.

Every time you move, you use
muscles.

That means you have muscles
everywhere, even places you

Can't see.

]] Oh, like your eyebrows.

]] Absolutely. You're actually
using muscles that are just

Under your eyebrows.

In fact, we all have over
muscles.

]] ?

]] Here. Look at this.

[All gasp]
]] oh, my goodness.

]] Looks like a muscle monster.

]] Wow, muscles look like a
bunch of ropes.

Cool. Hee hee hee!

]] Hey, you're right, may.

They do kind of look like ropes.

Muscles are right here under
our skin.

They're part of our body, and
they help us move.

]] Wow, I can't believe those
muscles are right under my skin.

]] And in our face. Look.

There they are, just like
sid said.

]] Exactly, and when you use
muscles over and over and over

And over, they can get tired,
and they could get sore.

]] Oh, hey, that's why my face
hurt before.

]] I think you're right, sid.

Hey, you know, I think it's time
to investigate muscles in the...

]] Super fab lab!

]] Right. Grab your journals
and let's go.

]] Ok! Yes! Let's go.

]] Heh heh.

]] Ha ha ha!

]] Ok.

]] Ha ha ha!

]] Super fab lab!

Investigate, explore, discover!

Wow!

]] Ok, scientists.

Today we're going to put our
muscles to work.

First, you'll use your muscles
to carry one of these chairs to

The table, and then--
]] we eat?

]] Yes. You eat one of these
apple slices.

]] Ha! Yes!

I love science! Ha ha!

]] And while you're picking up
the chair and then eating,

Really think about how you're
using the different parts of

Your body.

]] Yay! Cool.

]] Hey, you're a scientist.

You can try this, too.

]] Take this one.

We have muscles all over
the body.

We have muscles in our belly,
in our chest, and in our arms...

And we use our muscles to
help us move in lots of

Different ways.

We also have muscles in places
we don't even think about, like

In our neck. Our neck muscles
help us move our head up and

Down and all over the place.

We have muscles in our eyelids
that let us blink, muscles that

Help us open our mouth, and even
muscles in our tongue. You're

Using big arm, leg, and back
muscles to carry this heavy

Table.

To move this chair, you also
need muscles in your arms, legs,

And back. Wow! To lift the chair
over your head, you really have

To use your arm muscles. Now,
think about the muscles you use

To do other things, like
drinking. Muscles let you open

Your mouth. Your arm muscles
help you pick up the cup, and

Your tongue helps you swallow.

Now try eating. Look. You're
using small muscles in your

Hand to pick up a grape. And
you're using muscles in your

Mouth to help you chew the
grape.

You also use muscles to do
something really fun. Laugh!

Ok, scientists. It's time to
make some observations in your

Journals. You can draw pictures
of the many different muscles

You used in our investigation.

Now let's see what you observed
in the muscles investigation.

Gerald, may we look at your
journal first?

]] Yeah, sure. Well, ok, I drew
a big arm because I used the

Muscles in my arms to lift the
chair. And then I drew a tongue

Because I use my tongue a lot
to eat the apple and chew.

Oh, wait a minute. Susie, is the
tongue a muscle?

]] Actually, the tongue is
little muscles that work

Together. So you asked a very
smart question, gerald.

]] Ha, thanks, susie.

]] Ok, sid, let's look at your
journal.

]] Um, ok. Let's see. I drew
some legs because I use them to

Walk when I carried my chair.

Then I drew a picture of my
face with lots of little arrows

Pointing to all of the muscles I
used. I used a lot of face

Muscles to eat and laugh.

[Giggling]
]] I'm using my face muscles

Right now to talk about using my
muscles. Ha ha!

]] We all are, may. Well,
scientists, you've discovered a

Lot about muscles. And now it's
time to play with all your new

Ideas.

]] Yay!

]] Play time!

]] It's time for good
laughternoon! Ha ha!

]] Hey, sid.

]] Hmm?

]] What's stronger than a
-pound gorilla?

]] Ooh, I don't know. What?

]] A -pound gorilla!

]] Ha ha!

]] Doctor? Doctor?

]] Yes?

]] My muscles hurt when I do
this.

]] Then don't do this.

]] Oh, thanks.

]] Ha ha!

]] Hey, guys. Want to hear the
super funny joke my dad told me?

]] Yes!

]] Ok, here it goes. Ask me if
I'm a truck.

]] Are you a truck?

]] No!

]] Ha ha!

]] Wait a minute. Sid, sid, I
don't get it.

]] You said, "are you a truck?"

And I said no because I'm not
a truck.

]] Oh, yeah. I get it now.

You're not a truck, sid. Ha ha!

]] Now that's...funny! Funny!

[Canned laughter playing]
]] let's play pretend. We can

All be super muscle super
heroes with big muscles!

]] We're super muscle super
heroes!

]] Boppity bop ba!

]] Ok, today's mission is to
rescue may's cat mooshu. She's

On top of the tallest mountain.

]] Oh, no!

]] Let's go do it!

]] Yeah!

]] Oh, no! A huge tree is
blocking our way!

]] That's ok. I can use my super
arm muscles to push the tree to

The side.

]] Boppity bop ba!

]] Push!

]] Wow! Yay!

Let's keep going.

]] Let's go.

]] All right!

]] Whoa! A huge, giant rock.

How can we ever move it?

]] Don't worry. I'll move it.

I'll use my super leg muscles to
kick it.

]] Boppity bop ba!

]] And...kaboom!

]] Yay!

]] Yeah, I did it. The giant
rock is gone.

]] Ok, now we're at the tallest
mountain. And mooshu is on top.

But never fear because I have
super hand muscles, and I can

Pull us all the way up the
mountain. Yeah!

Oh, wait. Wait a minute.

]] Huh?

]] Boppity bop ba!

I almost forgot.

]] Oh, yeah.

]] Ok, come on. Yeah!

]] Almost there.

Whoo!

]] Yay!

Yeah.

Yeah.

[Giggling]
]] oh, me, oh, my, oh, may!

Whoo!

]] I got you.

]] Oh, look. We made it to the
top.

]] Yay!

]] But where's mooshu?

]] Look, mooshu's at the bottom
of the mountain. Meow!

]] Sid. Ha ha!

]] Hey, let's use our sliding
muscles and slide down. We're

Super muscle super heroes.

]] Boppity bop ba!

]] Yeah, super sliding muscles,
here we come.

]] All right.

]] And now...

]] It's time...

]] For susie...

]] To sing...

]] Go...susie!

]] Well, thank you.

So, we know all about muscles in
our arms and legs and our faces.

]] Yeah!

]] But what about the many
little muscles we use to curl

Our toes, twitch our nose, or
wiggle our ears?

]] Yeah.

]] Let's find out about the
muscles we never knew we had.

]] Yeah!

Hey, and that reminds me of one
of my favorite sports to play--

Bowling! Talk about using
muscles. Bowling uses lots of

Them--your arms, legs, your
back. Sometimes my back or leg

Muscles ache after I bowl.

But once, the strangest thing
happened when I bowled my best

Game ever. I was getting strike
after strike, knocking down all

The pins. I was on a roll. But
then I got a terrible muscle

Cramp in my hand from holding
that heavy bowling ball. I

Didn't even know I had muscles
there. Ow! My hand hurt!

I learned that we have muscles

Faces.

Arr. Ooh. Wah. Bah.

And muscles work every time our
bodies move. That got me

Thinking. Hmm...

Ok, I've got it. Here's my
super-dooper-ooper-schmooper big

Idea. My newest invention is
muscles in a box. You can just

Slip them on over your regular
muscles to make yourself even

Stronger. If you don't like
squeezing oranges for juice, put

Muscles in a box on your hand,
and you can squeeze them without

Even trying. And if you don't
want to clean up your toys one

At a time, muscles in a box will
make you strong enough to carry

Them all at once. And muscles in
a box can help you move a huge

Moose, if there is one, that's
on your bed when you're trying

To lie down and sleep. Just get
muscles in a box, then put them

On your arms and legs and back,
and you can lift a huge moose

And carry him to your yard.

]] Thanks for the ride.

]] You're welcome.

]] Muscles in a box will be
awesome. And that's my

Super-dooper-ooper-schmooper
big idea!

[Canned applause playing]
bye, everybody.

Whoo, hey, look. I'm waving to
you with my muscles. Ha ha!

And if you wave back, you'll be

Keep using your muscles. I know
