03x10 - Let There Be Light!

[bunniefuu]

Hey, scientists, it'’s

Me--sid. I want to investigate

Everything I can about light, so

My friends and I are going to

Explore where light comes from,

What kinds of light you can turn

On and off, and what types of

Energy sources make light. Come

Explore with me, sid the science

Kid, coming up next.

Hey, is this thing on?

Heh heh!

♪ 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... ♪

[Captioning made possible by

The jim henson company]

Here comes the beam of light,

And ignatz grabs for it and

Misses! Passes on to zeke. Aw,

Zekey, are you gonna get it?

Yeah, yeah!

Are you gonna get it?

Yeah, yeah, yeah!

Ok, hold on to it. Oh, hi.

Guess what. I just made up a

New, great game to play with

Zeke. It'’s called...light grab!

Grab!

Here'’s how to play. When I

Turn on my flashlight, zeke has

To grab and hold the light.

Light.

Ok, go for it, zekey! Grab

And hold the light.

Yeah, yeah, yeah!

That'’s great, zeke. Great

Job.

Well, it sounds like you boys

Are having fun in here.

Oh, yeah. We are, mom. We'’re

Playing light grab.

Yeah, yeah, yeah!

Ha ha! Light grab, huh?

Yeah. It'’s a cool game I just

Invented.

That would be something if we

Really could catch the light.

Yeah.

Breakfast will be ready soon,

Sid.

Oh, ok. Thanks, mom.

That'’s right. That's dr.

Beaks.

I wish I could catch light.

Then I'’d put it in my pocket,

Walk around, and take it out

Whenever I needed it. Hmm.

Light'’s kind of funny, isn't it?

You can see it, you can turn it

Off and on, but you can'’t hold

It. Hmm. I just gotta know.

What'’s the big idea with light?

[Echoing]

Sid, breakfast time!

Oh, great. I'’m so hungry.

Breakfast time!

Morning superslide. Yeah!

Morning. Hey, um, where'’s dad?

Oh, he'’s right over there.

Oh, hey, dad, what you

Looking at in the dryer there?

Oh, hey, sid. I'’m just trying

To fix it. The light isn'’t

Working, so it'’s hard to see in

Here.

Hey, I can help. We can use

My flashlight.

Oh, hey, much better. Wow. We

Can really see now. Thanks, sid.

Yeah. Oh, hey, is it ok if I

Conduct a super quick light

Investigation?

Go for it.

Great. Thanks. I'’m shining my

Flashlight. Now, ladies and

Gentlemen, I'’ll put my hand in

Front of the light, and now I'’m

Blocking the light!

[Bump]

Ooh! Can'’t see. Ouch.

Sorry, dad.

That'’s ok.

But I discovered something.

What did you discover?

Well, after my super quick

Investigation, I know that I

Can'’t grab light, but I can see

It, and I can block it with my

Hand.

Oh, very interesting

Observation, sid. Ok, let'’s get

That light shining back in here.

Ok. Hmm. You know, if I can

See light and block light, there

Have to be all kinds of other

Things I could do with light,

Right?

Sid, you are right, and after

Some breakfast, that sounds like

A great thing to investigate at

School today.

Yes. And by the time I come

Home, I'’ll have a whole list of

Amazing things I can do with

Light.

[Bump]

Ooh! Sid, I can'’t see again.

Sorry again, dad.

Sid, why don'’t you have some

Breakfast, and I'’ll hold the

Flashlight for dad? How'’s that

For a bright idea? Get it?

Flashlight, bright idea?

Ha ha ha!

Good one, alice!

Yeah. That'’s funny, mom.

Hello. I am sid the science

Reporter, and today I'’m asking

Everyone, what'’s your favorite

Light? Ok, let'’s go get some

Answers.

Ooh, hmm. Wow. She'’s good. Hey,

Gabriela, I have a question.

What is your favorite light?

My favorite light is my

Nightlight. It'’s always on, so

If I have to get up in the

Middle of the night, I can see

Where I'’m going. And I love it

Because it'’s shaped like a

Soccer ball.

Cool.

And soccer'’s my favorite

Sport.

Yeah, I know.

♪ Ba doo ba doo

Thanks, gabriela.

Goal!

Wow. That was a good kick.

Let'’s see who else we can ask.

Ooh. Hi, may.

Oh, hi, sid.

That'’s a really great drawing

Of a fish.

Thank you.

I have a question. What is

Your favorite light.

My favorite light. Um...oh, I

Know. It'’s the light in my

Grandpa'’s fish t*nk. He has all

Kinds of fish, and the light

Makes everything shine and glow.

It'’s so beautiful.

Wow. That does sound

Beautiful. Thanks, may.

You'’re welcome.

Hey, gerald.

Oh, hey, sid.

Hey, buddy. I have a

Question.

Ok.

What'’s your favorite light?

That'’s easy, sid. My favorite

Light is from fireworks. Kaboom!

See, last summer I went to this

Big picnic, and there was all

This yummy food and all these

Kind of games to play.

Yeah.

Ok, anyway, when the sky got

Dark, there was a huge fireworks

Show that lit up the whole sky

With all kinds of colors!

Kaboom! Kaboom, kaboom, kaboom!

That'’s so cool. Thanks,

Gerald.

You'’re welcome, sid. Kaboom!

Crash! Boom! Pow!

Ah. And now the results of my

Survey. Gabriela'’s favorite

Light is her soccer-ball night

Light. May loves the light in

Her grandpa'’s fish t*nk. And

Gerald'’s favorite light comes

From fireworks.

Kaboom! Kabang! Kaboom!

Kaboom!

Kaboom! Kablooey! Kablammo!

Ha ha ha!

Wonder wand power! Gerald,

You are now a cow.

Oh, ok. Moo!

Ha ha ha!

Now you'’re a duck.

Oh. Quack, quack, quack,

Quack, quack.

You'’re a kitty.

Oh, a kitty. Meow. Meow.

Meow. Kablammo!

Oh, kablammo? You sound like

Fireworks.

Yeah. See, um, we were

Talking about light on the

Playground, and my favorite

Light comes from fireworks.

Yeah, and I'’ve been

Investigating all the things you

Can do with light. Like, you can

See it, and you can block it.

And you can turn lights on

And off.

Very interesting

Observations. And you'’re right,

Gabriela. You can turn some

Lights on and off but not all

Lights.

Really?

Well, all light comes from an

Energy source.

Oh. Do you mean like a light

Bulb in a lamp?

Or a flashlight?

Right. Those are both sources

Of light that people have made,

And we can turn those lights on

And off. But what we can'’t turn

On and off are natural energy

Sources--light that nature

Makes.

Oh, I know, like stars in the

Sky.

Exactly. Those make lots of

Light.

Hey, what about lightning?

Yeah. Lightning is another

Natural energy source of light.

Oh, oh, and the sun. Look. It

Lights up the sky.

Mm-hmm. That'’s right, gerald,

But you don'’t want to look

Directly into the sun, because

It'’s a very strong energy

Source, and the stronger the

Energy source, the stronger

Light it makes.

I wonder how many sources of

Light there are in the whole

World.

Hmm, I don'’t know about the

Whole world, but I do know where

We can discover lots of

Different light sources.

In the super fab lab!

That'’s right! Grab your

Journals and let'’s go!

Yay!

Come on, sid!

Super fab lab!

Investigate, explore, discover!

Ah!

Today we'’re going to have a

Light scavenger hunt.

Cool! Yeah! Wait. Uh, what'’s

A light scavenger hunt?

Well, we'’re going to explore

The classroom to discover all

The different sources of light.

You mean we get to be light

Detectives?

Well, yes. That'’s exactly

What I mean. And you light

Detectives can draw pictures in

Your journals of all the light

Sources you find.

Ok.

Oh, oh! I see a source of

Light--the light from the

Ceiling.

Great work, light detective

Gabriela. Keep on exploring the

Classroom.

Hey, you'’re a scientist. You

Can try this, too.

It'’s time for the light

Scavenger hunt. Try to find a

Light source. It can be anything

That gives off light. You found

One! That lamp helps the plant

Grow. These little lights tell

Us the battery charger is

Working. This is a lava lamp. It

Also has a light source. The

Clock has numbers that light up.

The flashlight sh**t out a beam

Of light. Oh, this is another

Kind of flashlight. It has a

Stronger source of light, so it

Makes more light. The computer

Screen is a light source, and

This little light tells us when

These speakers are off and on.

Hey, you found a little light

Source on that key chain. Is

This cell phone a light source?

It is! When you open it, it

Lights up. Is this toy fire

Truck a light source? Wow. It

Has lots of light sources on it.

And the biggest light source of

All--the sun! It lights up the

Whole sky. Ok, draw pictures in

Your journals of the light

Sources you found--the clock,

The toy fire truck, the

Flashlight, and the biggest

Light source of all, the sun.

You all did a great job on our

Light scavenger hunt. How about

You, may? What did you find on

The light scavenger hunt?

Well, I found a flashlight,

But you know what makes a lot of

Light? The computer screen!

Oh, yeah!

That'’s a fantastic

Observation, may.

Thank you.

The computer screen is a

Light source. Ok, light

Detectives. I think it'’s time to

Play with all your new ideas.

Yay!

Yay!

Oh, boy. I can'’t wait to run

Around.

Whoo!

It'’s nice to be outside.

Oh, I know, I know! Hey, how

About if we play a guessing game

About light?

Ok.

Everyone gets a turn to be a

Light source, and we have to

Guess what you are.

Ok.

Sid, you go first.

Oh, great. Um, let'’s see.

What should I be? Hmm...oh, ok.

Guess what I am.

You'’re a rocket ship. Oh, no,

Wait. That'’s not a light source.

Oh, I know! You'’re a lamp.

No, not quite, but here'’s a

Hint. You put me on top of a

Birthday cake.

Oh, I know. You'’re a candle.

Yeah, that'’s right! Good job.

Your turn, gabriela.

Ok.

Ok, guess what light source I

Am.

You'’re a light that's going

On and off.

Very close. I'’m on the street

To tell cars to stop and go.

Oh, I know. You'’re a fish! Ha

Ha ha! I'’m just kidding. You're

A traffic light, right?

Right! Ok, gerald. Your turn.

Oh, good. Yeah, I have a

Really good one. Ok, watch this.

Kablammo! Kaboom! Pow! Crash!

You'’re fireworks.

Yeah. That'’s my favorite

Light source. Hey. Hey, may. You

Go next, ok?

Ok.

Oh, yeah. Go, may.

Ok, guess what I am. You can

Find me way up in the sky. You

Can'’t turn me on or off, and I'm

The biggest, strongest light

Source of all, ever!

Um, you'’re the sun!

Yeah! Hooray for the big,

Bright, warm sun!

Yay!

Let'’s play pretend.

Ok.

Ok, we'’re brave scientists on

A rocket ship, and we'’re

Exploring outer space.

Ooh.

Ok, I'’ll be the captain.

I'’ll be your assistant.

And may and I will be the

Pilots.

Yeah. We'’ll drive the

Rocket ship.

Ok, pilots. Let'’s zoom

Through space.

Captain.

Yes, pilot gabriela?

It'’s too dark to see in

Space. We can'’t see.

Ah, no problem. I will get us

A light source. Assistant sid?

Aye, aye, captain.

Please bring out the ship'’s

Pet cow.

Ah, you'’ve got it. All right,

Come on, cow. Let'’s go. Give us

Some light. Moo. Moo.

Captain gerald, a cow is not

A light source.

Oh, not a light source, hmm?

No.

Assistant sid, please hold up

A banana. That will give off

Plenty of light.

One banana coming right up,

Captain, sir. Ta da.

Wait. A banana isn'’t a light

Source either.

But if a banana isn'’t a

Source of light and a cow isn'’t

A source of light, then how

Can...we possibly see...in

Space?

I don'’t know, captain, but we

Need a source of light.

Pardon me, captain gerald and

Assistant sid. Why don'’t we just

Use our ship'’s headlights?

Oh, right. We have

Headlights. Uh, turn on the

Headlights, please.

Turning on headlights, sir.

There. That'’s much better.

Now we can see everything. Whoa!

Including the giant space rock

That'’s headed right for us!

Oh! Fly this way!

Whoa!

Oh, no! Fly the other way!

Whoa! Ha ha ha!

And now...

It'’s time...

For susie...

To sing!

Go, susie!

Hey, teacher susie, guess

What we'’re doing.

Let me guess. You'’re all

Bright, blinking lights.

Yeah!

We'’re big blinking lights in

Ha ha ha! What are you

Looking at, sid?

Energy sources of light.

I'’m finding lots of them

Right here on our car ride home.

Oh, you'’re right.

There are light sources

Everywhere. But you know, we

Didn'’t always have lights to

Help us see.

Really?

Yes, really. A long time ago,

People didn'’t have electric

Lamps to light up their houses

At night, so if they wanted to

See once the sun went down,

They'’d have to light candles or

Lanterns. Scientists tried to

Invent other sources of light,

But nothing worked. Then a

Scientist named thomas edison

Gathered a whole bunch of other

Scientists, and they all worked

Together for a long time. And

Like a good scientist, edison

Never gave up, and finally, good

Old edison and his team figured

It out. They made an electric

Light, and it worked! Ha ha ha!

So scientists invented

Electric lights?

Oh, you bet. Scientists

Invented all kinds of things

That make our lives better and

Brighter.

Wow! Thanks, grandma. My

Grandma knows everything.

[Recorded applause]

Ok, remember this morning we

Played light grab?

Yight gab.

I remember, sid. You couldn'’t

Grab the light from flashlights.

Right, but at school I

Learned all about light. I

Learned you need light to see

And you can block it and all

Light comes from an energy

Source, like a flashlight and

Even the sun.

Wow. You learned a lot in

School today.

Yeah. And I have a new game

For us. It'’s called light on,

Light off because that'’s

Something you can do with light

That people make. You can turn

It on and off.

Ah.

That'’s right, zekey. Ok,

Here'’s how you play. When I turn

My room light--the energy

Source--off, you make a funny

Face or do something funny, and

Then when I turn the light back

On, you freeze. Ok, I'’ll go

First. [Clears throat] light

Off, light on. See, and then you

Got to hold the funny face.

Ha ha ha!

Mom, now you try it. Light

Off, light on.

Ah.

Ha ha ha!

Hey, mom, that'’s funny.

This is fun. Who knew we

Could have so much fun with

Light?

Knock knock. I hear laughing.

Are you guys playing some kind

Of game? Can I play?

Sure, dad. Come on in and

Close the door.

Ok.

Ok, here'’s how it works. When

I turn the light off, you make a

Funny face and dance around, and

Then when I turn the light on,

You got to freeze.

Oh, this sounds good. Ok, I'’m

Ready.

Ok, here we go. Lights off,

Lights on.

I love this game.

Me, too.

Ha. I learned so many cool

Things about light today. Now I

Know that all light comes from

An energy source. Whacha! Some

Energy sources are made by

People. Some are natural, like

The sun. Hmm. Hey, wouldn'’t it

Be great if people could be a

Source of light? Ok, I'’ve got

It. Here'’s my

Super-duper-ooper-schmooper big

Idea. Introducing the amazing

Bright light shirt. You wear it

Just like a t-shirt, but it'’s

Really a light source, and you

Control how much light it gives

Off so when you wear it, you'’re

The light source. For lots of

Light, just turn the dial on

Your shirt to super-bright, and

You can light up your whole

Bedroom at night or even your

Whole backyard. Perfect for

Camp-outs. Or you can turn the

Dial so it gives off just a

Little light, like in your

Closet when you'’re trying to

Find your sneakers. And if

You'’re at a soccer or baseball

Game that goes on till after

Dark and everyone complains

Because it'’s hard to see, with

Your amazing bright light shirt,

You can come to the rescue and

Light up the whole stadium!

You'’ll be a hero in your amazing

Bright light shirt! And that'’s

My super-duper-ooper-schmooper

Big idea! Yay!

[Recorded applause]

Ah. Ok, bye, everybody. Got to

Turn out the lights and go to

Bed. Not turning out that light,

Though. That'’s my rocket ship
