03x25 - Sid Wings It!

Post by bunniefuu »

Hey, scientists. It'’s me,

Sid. I built wings like a bird,

But I still can'’t fly, so my

Friends and I are going to the

Science center to explore how

Things fly in the sky. 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... ♪

Hello. It'’s me--sid--and I'm

About to do something amazing,

Something spectacular.

It'’s probably the greatest thing

I'’ve ever done in my entire

Life.

Ladies and gentlemen,

I am going to fly!

Whoo hoo!

Ha ha ha!

Yeah. You see that bird up

There? He'’s been flying all

Morning by flapping his wings,

And I want to try it, too, so I

Made myself these wings, climbed

Up here, and now I can fly like

A bird. Ha ha! How hard can it

Be?

Ok, here goes. I just need to

Flap really, really fast.

And...i...shall...fly!

Hmm. Well, that didn'’t work, but

Don'’t worry. I know what to do.

Ok. I just need to climb up here

Again and flap faster.

Here goes.

Now...i'’m...flying!

Whoo!

I'’m not flying. Hmm. Ok, well,

Now I'’m ready to ask my big

Question about why I can'’t fly,

But where'’s my microphone?

Aha! There it is.

Ok. Uh...

Can'’t...reach my microphone.

Oh, well. I'’ll just pretend like

I'’m speaking into my microphone.

Now I just got to know. If I

Have wings, why can'’t I fly like

A bird...bird...bird...bird?

Sid, breakfast is ready!

Yay! Breakfast time. Whoo

Hoo!

Breakfast time!

Oh. Whoa!

You ok, sweetie?

Yeah, mom, no problem. I'’m

Fine, really. No problem.

It'’s--just need to--wow. My

Wings are bigger than I thought,

So I'’ll just slide in and--ha

Ha! I'’m in!

Oh, wow. Check out those

Wings. Very nice.

Yeah. Well, they'’re nice, but

They don'’t work. I tried

Flapping my wings just like the

Bird I was watching, so I

Flapped, but I didn'’t fly.

I just flopped.

Sid, let'’s look at a picture

Of a bird. Maybe we can figure

Out the problem together.

Ok.

Ok. What do you see?

Well, the bird has wings just

Like I do, and he'’s spreading

His wings just like I did

Outside, and he has feathers,

And--aha! That'’s it. I need

Feathers, and then I can fly.

Sid, I like the way you'’re

Thinking, but sometimes feathers

Aren'’t enough to fly.

Dad'’s right, sid. Take a look

At this picture of an ostrich.

Hmm. Well, he has feathers,

But he looks way too big to fly.

You'’re right. Now, how about

You?

Oh, I get it.

My body is too big to fly, too.

Yup.

Wait, wait, wait. An airplane

Is really big, and it flies way

Up in the sky.

Ok, I don'’t get it. How does an

Airplane fly?

Now, that sounds like

Something to investigate at

School. But first, how about

Having some birdseed for

Breakfast?

Ha ha ha!

Birdseed? No, thanks. This

Bird likes eating your pancakes.

Ok.

Ah. Then I'’ll go investigate

Flying at school.

But for now I'’d better take off

These wings because no flying

For me.

Oh, sid. We can'’t fly to

School, but if you'’d like, we

Can walk.

Yeah. Let'’s walk.

All right.

Chirp chirp.

Flap flap.

See da birda.

Ha ha ha!

♪ I love my mom

Uh-huh

My mom is cool

Uh-huh

But now it'’s time

For having fun in school

Yeah! ♪

Ha ha ha!

Hi, sid. Hello, alice.

Hello.

Did you all walk to school?

Yes, we did.

Wow. What a wonderful thing

To do.

Oh, bye, mom.

Bye, sid.

Bye-bye.

Good-bye, susie.

And now it'’s time for the sid

Survey.

I am airplane sid, and I want to

Know how airplanes can fly, so

Let'’s go get some answers.

[Imitates airplane flying]

Coming in for a landing!

[Imitates airplane stopping]

Hello, gabriela.

Hi!

Do you know how airplanes can

Fly?

Yes, I do.

They have wings!

Hmm. I agree, but since

They'’re so big, don't they need

Something more than just wings?

Hmm. I don'’t know.

Neither do i. Well, let'’s fly

Over to gerald and ask him.

Ok.

[Both imitate airplanes]

Coming in for a landing!

Hello, gerald.

Hi, sid.

Do you know how airplanes

Fly?

Yes, I do. Airplanes flap

Their wings like a bird, and

Then they fly into the air.

Uh, I'’ve never seen an

Airplane flap its wings before.

Oh, well, neither have i.

Let'’s go ask may.

Ok.

All right.

Let'’s fly!

Oh, yeah!

Zoom!

[Imitating airplanes]

Hello, may.

Hello.

Do you know how planes fly?

Oh, yeah. They go really,

Really fast, and then they take

Off into the air!

[All imitate airplanes]

I think you'’re right, may,

But airplanes are so big, how do

They actually go up into the

Sky?

Well, they--um, I don'’t know.

[Imitating airplane stopping]

We don'’t know either!

Hmm.

Class, we'’re going on a field

Trip to the science center!

Yay!

Wow. We'’re going to the

Science center with teacher

Susie. Come on.

Hey, I see some speedy

Airplanes zooming around the

Sky.

Yeah.

Susie, we want to know how

Real airplanes fly in the sky.

Yeah. Susie, how can they fly

If they'’re so big and heavy?

You know what? Lots of people

Have asked that same question,

And lucky for us, the science

Center has a special exhibit all

About flight.

Come on. Let'’s go investigate.

Everybody on the bus.

♪ Field trip, here we go

Field trip, move your feet

Field trip ♪

We'’re ready!

♪ Get on the bus

And take a seat

Vee-oom!

Hey, you'’re a scientist.

You can go to a science center,

Too.

Field trip to the science

Center!

[Laughter]

Yay!

Ok. If we'’re going to

Investigate how airplanes fly,

We should start by looking at

How birds fly.

Hey, that kind of looks like

The bird I saw flying in my

Backyard this morning. See, I

Built my own wings so I could

Fly like the bird.

Whoa. How high did you fly,

Sid?

Did you go higher than the

Clouds?

No. Actually I didn'’t fly at

All. I flapped my wings and then

Flopped right down to the

Ground.

You know, when people wanted

To make a machine to fly, they

Did the exact same thing you

Did, sid.

They looked at birds, too?

They sure did. In fact,

Scientists have made lots of

Discoveries by observing things

In nature. Come on. I'’ll show

You.

Ok.

All right.

Let'’s go.

Over here?

Yay!

Wow.

Look. Hey, that kind of

Looks like a giant bird.

Yeah, gabriela, you'’re right.

Look. It has big wings, just

Like that bird over there.

Very good observations. This

Is called a glider because it

Can glide in the wind, just like

A bird.

But wait, wait. Hold on. What

If it'’s not a windy day?

Good question. Inventors had

A different idea. Come on. I'’ll

Show you what they came up with.

Ok.

Whoa.

Oh, no.

Is that an airplane?

Well, sort of. It has wings

Like a plane that could flap

Like a bird.

If I were too heavy to fly

With flapping wings, then that

Thing is way too heavy to fly.

You'’re right, sid. It

Couldn'’t fly. So let's find out

How inventors finally got a

Plane to fly. Everyone turn

Around and look up in the air.

Wow!

Check it out!

Cool!

Look at that! It'’s a plane.

This is a model of an

Airplane called the "wright

Flyer." It was the very first

Airplane that could fly.

Wow.

Oh, look! Look, it has an

Engine! Susie, did the engine

Help this airplane to fly?

Yes, it did. The engine

Helped the airplane move forward

Really fast so the wind could

Lift the airplane into the sky.

Wow.

Airplanes are amazing!

Yes, they are. Come on. Let'’s

Go investigate and explore lots

Of airplanes here at the

Science center.

Yeah!

Yeah, let'’s investigate! Hey,

You'’re a scientist. You can go

To a science center and

Investigate how airplanes fly,

Too.

The air and space museum is a

Great place to investigate how

Things fly. When people first

Wanted to fly, they made this

Glider. It had big wings just

Like a bird. It could glide in

The wind but not for very long.

This is a tiny model of the

"Wright flyer." It'’s the first

Airplane that could fly in the

Sky. It had wings just like a

Glider, but it also had

Something special. Yes, it had a

Motor. Here'’s a bigger model of

The "wright flyer." Here are the

Wings...

And here'’s the motor. It helped

The plane move really fast so it

Could lift into the sky.

Engineers then put a motor on

The front of a plane and added a

Propeller to help it fly. And

Here'’s the real plane. It's

Called the vega. This propeller

Allowed the plane to fly really

Far. Look at this passenger

Plane. It has big propellers on

The wings to help it fly. Later

On, engineers made jet engines.

These allowed planes to move

Really fast so they could fly

Really high in the sky.

Today, passenger planes have jet

Engines, too, so they can fly

Really fast and really far. Ok,

Now it'’s your turn to pretend

That you'’re flying your own

Plane. You can control the wings

So you can fly way up in the

Sky.

It'’s so much fun to investigate

All the ways things fly in the

Sky.

Hooray for the science

Center!

Yay!

All those gliders and planes

And jets are so cool!

And lots of them have big

Wings, just like a bird.

Yeah.

Hey, talking about wings

Reminds me of a joke.

Go for it, sid. You always

Have funny jokes.

Ok. Everybody spread out your

Arms like an airplane.

Ok.

And what are these called?

Wings.

And what'’s one of them

Called?

A wing.

Now say that two times.

A wing a wing.

Now say it times.

A wing a wing a wing.

Hello. How are you?

[Laughter]

Sid!

Hello, my winging scientists.

After you throw your trash away,

We have time to explore the

Science center some more. Come

On. Let'’s fly.

Yeah!

You guys, come on, come on!

Ok.

Let'’s play pretend.

Yeah.

We'’re on an airplane, and

I'’ll be the pilot.

Ok. I'’ll be your copilot.

I'’ll be a passenger going on

Vacation.

And I'’ll be the flight

Attendant. That'’s the person who

Helps the passengers.

Yeah..

Ok.

Hello there, passenger. Would

You like some milk, orange

Juice, or perhaps a waffle?

I'’ll have a waffle, please.

Yes, yes. There you are.

Thank you.

Ok, it'’s time to fly.

Yeah. Let'’s start the engine.

Oh, uh, gerald, could you please

Push the button over there?

Because that starts our engine.

Yes, of course. No problem.

Thank you.

Huh?

What happened? We can'’t fly

Without wings.

Oops. Wrong button. Ok, wings

Coming right up.

Ha ha! Gerald, those are

Bird wings, not airplane wings.

Yeah. It'’s the wrong button

Again. Ok, time for some

Airplane wings. There we go. Oh,

No.

Those are brooms. We need

Wings to fly.

Right, right. Wings. Ok, just

Hang on a sec. Hmm.

What?

Gerald!

I know, I know. We can'’t fly

With forks. Ok, let'’s see. Aha!

I know what button to push.

Yay! Wings!

The engine is starting!

We'’re taking off.

Let'’s fly to teacher susie.

Yeah! We'’re flying!

Cleared for takeoff.

Bring the plane right over

Here.

We'’re coming in for a

Landing.

Hold on tight.

Whoo!

Isn'’t it amazing that we can

Fly way up high in the sky

Inside an airplane?

Yeah!

And just think, it all

Started by observing birds in

Nature.

Susie, there are lots of

Things in nature that fly, like,

Um, bats.

And dragonflies.

And bees. Bzzz.

You'’re right, and they can

All teach us how to build things

That fly, and that reminds me of

A song.

Yay!

Cool.

Here you go.

Thank you.

It was great! We learned how

Airplanes have engines so they

Can zoom really fast and fly

Into the sky. Airplanes are so

Cool!

Oh, I know, and you know who

Else thinks airplanes are cool?

Who?

Your dad! In fact, when he

Was a boy your age, he built his

Own airplane.

What? Really?

Yes, indeedy do! When your

Dad was a kid, he loved to make

Airplanes out of paper. How

About that? And just like real

Airplanes, the paper ones flew

In the air because they had

Wings. And because these planes

Were made out of paper, they

Weren'’t too heavy, so they

Didn'’t need a big old engine to

Lift them into the sky. They

Just needed a good, strong arm

To throw them into the wind.

Whoosh! Oh, your dad used to

Make all kinds of planes--big

Ones, little ones, and fast

Ones. Some of them could fly way

Up high in the sky. Whoo hoo!

Wow. I wish I could see the

Paper airplanes my dad made. I

Bet I'’d really like them.

Oh, I bet you would, too. You

Know what, sid?

Fly really high.

Yup, that'’s true, and right

Now, I'’m gonna teach you how to

Make one.

Wow!

Big, heavy airplanes fly in the

Sky. Whoo! I still wish I could

Fly, but I don'’t have wings. Oh,

Well. Hey, wait a minute. Maybe

There is a way I could have

Wings. Ok, I'’ve got it. Here's

My super duper ooper schmooper

Big idea! I'’m going to invent

The super duper wing pack. It'’s

Like a backpack you strap on,

And when you push a button, you

Can have any kind of wings you

Want! Push one button, and you

Get fast-flapping hummingbird

Wings. Push another button, and

Big glider wings pop out. You

Can push another button for

Airplane wings. But wait. For

Airplane wings, you also need an

Engine to help lift you into the

Air! Don'’t worry. This super

Duper wing pack also comes with

A handy dandy jet engine to

Help boost you into the sky.

Whoosh! Now I can fly anywhere I

Want, just like a bird flying in

The sky. Hey, here comes a bird

Right now. Hello, ms. Bird.

"Hello, sid. Nice wings. You can

Fly just like me." Yes, I can,

Because I'’m wearing my super

Duper wing pack! Whoo hoo!

And that'’s my super duper ooper

Schmooper big idea. Yay!

[Recorded applause]

Hey, maybe one day I'’ll be a

Grown-up scientist and I can

Make a real super duper wing

Pack. Hey, you know what? One

Day you can invent something

Super duper amazing, too. Just

Think--a long time ago, nobody

Thought we could ever build an

Airplane that flies, but we did

It, and that means anything is

Possible, and I should know

Because I am sid, the science
