03x23 - The Amazing Computer Science Tool!

[bunniefuu]

Hey, scientists. It'’s me,

Sid. I want to know all the

Things that computers can do, so

My mom is coming to school to

Help us investigate how

Computers can be an amazing

Science tool. 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?

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... ♪

Ha ha! Oh, hi there. I'’m

Watching mom and dad. This is

So funny.

Oh, honey, honey, remember,

Tonight we need to go to the

Store--

[Chime]

Oh, I think that'’s the

Calendar on my computer. Ha!

Be right back.

Ok. All right.

Hee hee! Isn'’t that funny?

The computer went ba-ding, and

Dad went running. Ha ha ha!

Well, my computer reminded me

That I have an appointment

This morning.

All right, don'’t forget that.

So, as I was saying--

[Chime]

I--oh, that'’s my email.

Oh, ok.

Hold on. Excuse me.

Whee!

I could watch this all day.

Ha ha!

Anything important, hon?

Just an email from work.

Ha ha!

Oh, hey, siddo.

Good morning. Ha ha!

Hi.

What'’s so funny?

Well, every time the

Computers go ba-ding, you both

Run around.

You'’re right. Sorry we're so

Distracted, sid.

Yeah, it'’s just that we're

Both getting a lot of emails

From work.

[Two chimes]

Oh, there goes another one.

Hey, um, wait, what are all

These email things on your

Computer?

Well, an email is just like a

Letter, except it comes to the

Computer instead of to the

Mailbox.

[Chime]

Oh, I think that'’s mine. Both

Of ours.

Ok. Breakfast will be ready

Soon, sid.

Ok. Oh, boy. Computers make

Mom and dad act so funny. Ha!

And that'’s why I just got to

Know, why do mom and dad run

When their computers go...

[Clicks on microphone]

Ba-ding!

["Ba-ding" echoes]

Sid! Breakfast time!

Oh, boy, breakfast time!

Ba-ding! Ha ha ha!

Breakfast tiiiiiime!

Hey, good morni--oh. Hey, look.

It'’s happening again. Check it

Out. Mom'’s on the computer and

Dad'’s on the computer, and, see,

Everybody'’s busy on computers,

Even zeke.

Ba-ding, ba-doong, ding.

Huh? Oh, hi there, sid.

How'’s it going?

[Chime]

Oh! Uh-oh. Another message on

The computer.

Hmm. Well, I was observing

That computers tell you what to

Do. The computer goes ba-ding

And you guys go look at it.

Hmm. You know what? These

Computers are distracting us

From you, and we'’re sorry

About that.

Yup. Your mom'’s right.

I am done.

Ha ha!

And these computers don'’t

Tell us what to do. Actually,

I tell the computer what to do.

Come on over. I'’ll show you.

Ok.

You know how I make computer

Games for kids, right?

Right. You make really cool

Stuff.

Oh, thank you. Well, this is

A computer game called "super

Duper antibodies." It'’s a

Science game for kids.

Wow. You made that?

Well, yes.

Yeah, she sure did. The

Computer lets your mom create

Things that people everywhere

Can see and use.

Well, I bet my friends would

Love to know about all this,

Mom. Wouldn'’t it be great if you

Could come to my school and show

Them what you do?

Well, if it'’s ok with teacher

Susie, maybe I could come and

Show your class how to use a

Computer.

Really? Really, really?

Really, really. Uh, mort?

Hmm?

While sid eats breakfast,

Would you send an email to

Teacher susie to see if it'’s ok?

I'’m on it!

Ha ha! Oh, boy! I hope mom

Can come to school to teach us

About computers because that

Would be so much fun!

So much fun!

Whose parents are on the

Computer so much. Let'’s find

Out. Hmm-hmm! Oh, hi, may.

Hello.

I have a question.

Yes?

My mom and dad are always on

Their computers, and when the

Computers go...

Ba-ding, they run to see what

It is!

Yeah.

My mom does the same thing,

And then she types really,

Really fast on her computer.

Tip-tap-tappity-tippity-tap!

Mm-hmm. Yep, that is really,

Really fast.

Yeah.

Thanks, may.

You'’re welcome.

Oh, hi, gabriela.

Hello.

Do your parents use the

Computer all the time like my

Parents do?

Computers? My whole family

Uses them, and so do i.

Really? What do you do on

Them?

Well, every morning my dad

And I look at the weather on the

Computer so we know if we need

A sweater or a jacket.

Uh-huh.

We also look at the weather

Where my uncle toby lives, and

He lives really far away.

Wow! Well, thanks, gabriela.

Sure thing.

Nyeeow! Zoom! Beep-beep!

Hey, gerald.

Look out!

Whoa!

Hi, sid.

Hi. Hey, how about you? Does

Your family use computers?

Oh, yeah. Yeah, my mom uses

The computer with me, and, oh,

A couple of days ago, we found

This really neat game called

"Super duper antibodies!"

Hey, my mom made that game!

Really?

Really.

Well, I love that game! You

Know, because it goes pyoom!

Pyoom! Bing-bong! Bing-bong!

Yeah.

What goes pyoom, pyoom,

Bing-bong, bing-bong, bing-bong?

Oh, the game that sid'’s mom

Made on the computer.

Really?

Yeah, and my mom might be

Coming to school to show us how

To use a computer.

Whoa! That will be so cool!

Yeah!

Everybody, rug time!

That'’s teacher susie!

Come on, let'’s go.

Yeah.

Ha ha ha!

Tap, tap, tap, tappy-tap,

Tap, tap. I am a computer.

Ha ha ha!

Oops! Wrong button!

Shutting down now.

[Makes computer shutdown noises]

[All laugh]

So, I'’m guessing you've all

Been talking about computers.

Yes, we have. My mom and dad

Are always typing on their

Computers.

Oh, yeah. My dad and I look

Up the weather on the computer.

Very good. Well, who wants to

Find out more about computers

From a very special visitor?

Oh, we do!

Oh, goodie! My mom must be

Coming today. Ha ha!

Ready for me?

Yay!

Look, it'’s sid's mom! Ha ha!

Sid, want to introduce our

Visitor?

Oh, yes, I do. Ha ha! Friends

And teacher, here in our

Classroom is a world-famous

Computer expert, the person

I call mom!

Yay!

Thank you. Thank you so much.

I'’m so excited to be here with

All you scientists.

How about if you tell us what

Kind of work you do on the

Computer?

Sure. Well, I make web sites.

Web sites? What'’s that?

It'’s a place to visit on the

Computer. Think of it as a big

Book, and each page has

Something special on it. One

Page might have music you can

Listen to, one page might have

Pictures, and one page might

Have a game you can play.

Oh! Sid'’s mom, I love that

Science game that you made.

Yeah, I play it all the time

With my mom.

Oh, I'’m glad you like the

Game, and I'’m glad you're using

The computer with a grownup.

Yeah.

Grownups will make sure you

Don'’t use the computer for too

Long. It'’s important to get

Outside and play, too.

Well, now that you know the

Rules of the computer, maybe we

Can all learn how to use the

Computer just like scientists

Do.

Scientists use computers,

Too?

They sure do. Computers can

Be a great science tool. How

About if we do a special

Computer investigation in the--

Oh, wait, wait. May I say it?

I'’ve always wanted to.

Ha ha ha! Go for it.

Let'’s all go to the...

Super fab lab!

Yeah! Come on! Let'’s go.

Oh, yay!

[All giggle]

Super fab lab.

Super fab lab! Investigate,

Explore, discover! Ah!

Ok, scientists, let'’s learn

How to use a computer.

Yeah!

Let'’s get started. First of

All, when you sit at the

Computer, make sure you sit up

Nice and straight. It'’s good for

Your back.

Ok.

All right.

Ok, see that arrow? That'’s

How I choose what I want to do,

But to move the arrow around,

I use this. Does anyone know

What it'’s called?

I do! It'’s called a mouse

Because it kind of looks like

A cute little mouse moving

Around.

That'’s right, may.

Well, our computer at home

Doesn'’t have a mouse. See, it's

Got this flat place where you

Move your finger.

That'’s called a touchpad, and

You can use it just like a mouse

To move the arrow.

Oh.

Then you click like this to

Choose what you want to do.

Wow.

And now that we know how to

Use a computer, let'’s

Investigate how scientists use

It as a science tool.

Oh, hey, these are magnifying

Glasses and our journals.

I thought we were going to use

The computer.

We are. You see, scientists

Use computers to share their

Discoveries with each other,

So you'’re all going to use a

Magnifying glass, explore the

Room, and make a discovery.

Ooh.

Ok. Then we draw a picture

Of our discovery in our

Journal.

Exactly, may.

Um, I still don'’t get it.

How'’s that using the computer

As a science tool?

Well, when a scientist learns

Something new, it'’s important to

Share that information.

That'’s right, and I can use

This camera to take a picture

Of all your drawings. And then

Teacher susie can help you email

Them to your parents at home.

Cool!

Oh, yeah, an email'’s like a

Letter you can send on the

Computer.

So we'’re using the computer

Like a journal and sharing it

With everyone.

You got it, may.

Well, I am very impressed

With all of you scientists. I

Wish I could spend all day with

You. Unfortunately, I have to

Get back to work, so after I put

All your pictures into the

Computer, I have to go.

Thank you, sid'’s mom.

Thank you, sid'’s mom.

Alice, you'’re welcome in our

Classroom anytime.

Oh. Ha ha!

And now, scientists, let'’s

Get started. Grab your

Magnifying glasses, make a

Discovery, then draw a picture

In your journal.

Yay! Let'’s go!

Cool!

Hey, you'’re a scientist. You

Can try this, too.

Ok, scientists. Let'’s

Investigate how a computer can

Be an amazing science tool.

First, use a magnifying glass

To make an observation.

Find things around the room.

Take a good look...

And observe all the details.

Next, draw a picture of what you

Found. You can draw all the

Colors and textures of the

Things you observed. Now it'’s

Time to share all the

Observations you made with

Scientists or people interested

In your discoveries, like your

Parents. To do this, your

Teacher will take a photo of

All your drawings.

Then he can attach the camera to

The computer so all your photos

Can move onto the computer.

Use the mouse to move your photo

Into an email. An email is like

A letter that travels really

Fast from one computer to

Another computer. It'’s a great

Way to share information.

Up here is where we write the

Email address. This tells the

Computer where to send your

Photos. Now click the mouse to

Send the email with your photo.

You did it! You used the

Computer to share information,

Just like a real scientist.

Look at this. Sid'’s mom put all

Your journal drawings into one

Big picture on the computer.

Doesn'’t it look great?

Oh, yes! Cool!

Ok, let'’s hear about the

Discoveries you made.

I discovered what the

Butterfly on my wonder wand

Looks like.

And I looked at the face of

Our pet praying mantis up close.

Yeah, and I looked at our

Rug. It looks really different

Through the magnifying glass.

Uh, gerald, what discovery

Did you make? I can'’t quite tell

What it is.

Oh. Well, that'’s sid's elbow.

Oh.

Ta-da!

Wow. Well, you all made some

Great discoveries with your

Magnifying glasses. Now let'’s

Share them with other people.

Ooh, yeah.

Ok, gerald, since you'’re

Right here, let'’s start with

You. The mouse is all set, so

Just click right on it and this

Picture will go to your family

At home in an email.

Ok. Um, countdown, please.

Oh, yeah. , , , Go!

[Makes sh**ting noises]

[All laugh]

Oh!

Thank you. Thank you.

Ok, computer scientists,

After you each send your parents

An email with a picture, you can

Go play with your new ideas.

Yay!

Today, we'’re going to pretend

This is a really, really huge

Computer and my wonder wand is

The mouse. Computer, say my

Name. Click!

Your name is gabriela.

Great. Now, computer, tell me

What sound a dog makes. Click!

Woof! Woof!

Thanks, computer. Next

Question: what is my teacher'’s

Name? Click!

Susie. Teacher susie.

Ok, now some hard questions.

What'’s my favorite kind of

Cookie? Click!

Chocolate chip!

Yes! And how tall is a

Giraffe? Click!

Very tall?

What color is the sun? Click!

Yellow!

What'’s yummier, a cupcake or

A pizza? Click! Do I like

Standing up or sitting down?

Click! What are my favorite

Socks? Click! How far away is

The moon? Click!

[Making computer shutdown

[All laugh]

Yay! Let'’s play family.

Gabriela, you and I will be

The kids.

Ha ha! And sid is our daddy.

He'’s very busy on the computer.

Ooh, yeah. Ahem. I'’m dad and

I'’m busy on the computer.

Very busy.

Oh, dad! Come and play

With us!

Not now. I'’m busy on the

Computer.

Dad, can we eat all the

Cookies we can find?

Uh, yeah, sure. Right now I'’m

Busy on the computer.

Oh, dad, there'’s a skunk at

The door. Can we let him in?

Uh, sure. Just don'’t let him

People use computers for all

Kinds of things? Some are so

Small they fit in phones and

Oh, you'’re right about that.

Computers nowadays are so tiny,

But, you know, computers weren'’t

Always that small. No. When

Scientists first started making

Computers, they were huge. In

Fact, the very first computers

Were so large they filled up an

Entire room. Those first
