[Music]
on
zoomo Stephanie R of a Massachusetts
sent us a videotape of herself making
wrapping paper by printing with
potatoes here's what it will look like
here's what you need to make your own
wrapping
paper
potatoes a
knife large sheets of paper or you can
recycle a grocery bag like this one
paints and a paintbrush here's what you
do cut a potato in half like this
one carve out different shapes like a
Moon Star square or
triangle if you're not allowed to use a
knife ask an adult to help you it took a
long time for me to carve these shapes
with a knife but if you use a melon
baller you can carve a shape quickly
okay let's carve that
out that looks really cool like an egg
or a
circle then paint the shape all
different colors and stamp it on the
paper of your design and design of your
Tri
okay right pink that look
cool
okay you want to press really hard so
you get a good picture oh that came out
awesome
cool going to add more
paint okay looks really good
though okaya awesome you can print with
all sorts of other vegetables here's
what it would look like if it was done
with broccoli here's one done with
pepper be creative and the next time
you're invited to a party you can use it
to wrap your special gifts you can find
the directions for wrapping paper in the
zoom de section of the zoom website at
www.pbs s.org and if you don't have a
computer at home you can probably find
one at school or your local
[Music]
library my name is Daniel and I live in
Summit New
Jersey and I love to play jazz
piano I started playing the piano when I
was 4 years old and now I'm 11 so I've
basically been playing the piano for
about s
years the type of music that I like the
most is jazz because my dad used to
listen to a lot of jazz and he
influenced
me most of my friends like jazz but they
also like other types of music but when
I come in they really enjoy what I play
the best thing about having an audience
is that I do enjoy to entertain them and
I like when people are happy cuz it
makes me feel
good I feel that the piano is the most
natural thing that I do and I feel
connected to
it
even though I've been playing piano for
a while I'm just starting to read sheet
music which is site reading and I have a
computer that helps me with it when I
play on my keyboard it will record the
notes that I play on this
[Music]
computer
[Applause]
when my computer is done recording my
song I can play it back and see if I can
find any
[Music]
mistakes and I found a mistake right
here and I'll fix it by deleting
it
and that's how you go through the whole
entire song my computer lets me turn
[Applause]
this into
this I hope that I write and play jazz
music for the rest of my
[Music]
life hey Lisa yeah what has 888 keys but
can't open a single door I don't know a
piano I don't get
it Christian L of Portland Oregon
challenged us to play Mary Had a Little
Lamb using glasses filled with water
okay so what do you want to do um I
don't know what should we want to try
and see how many not
there are so we can kind of play the
song yeah okay so if you would
go 1 2 three four 3 * three 3 * three
nine take away one take one away okay
what would have what do you think will
happen if we fill the glass with some
water maybe we should try like because I
know that see if we go like that it's a
high note and if we put something in it
say we
put it stop it in oh it doesn't make S
lower it it's like really low so maybe
we should fill it in all different
ranges like oh so it'll go ding ding
ding ding okay different so you want to
try it sure
okay so this will be to the top or sure
we'll go from highest to lest so I'll
compare mine to okay wait let's see what
sound it makes so we can know oh it's
kind of high so we should make this one
less water because less water makes
little
s wait are you sure because remember
when we tried without anything in it it
was very high all right
let's
wait yeah so the more water it has the
lower it is yeah when you hit it the
vibrations have to travel through more
water
than so sound is actually when it makes
the air molecules vibrate and then it
keeps vibrating vibrating until it
reaches your ear and it vibrates the
eard Drome
[Music]
that sounds so awesome you see the like
circles instead of the sound moving the
air molecules it's moving the water
molecules and it's moving to the water
yeah so like we're talking right now air
is probably moving and we can't even see
it so it's kind of like the same thing
you want to try to match it to the scale
okay do T
[Music]
so they bounc against each other okay do
you want to take some out of this one
because they kind of sound the same and
we want to make them sound
different
me it's a little long it doesn't sound
right this one needs so it's the more
water we fill in the why don't we why
don't we first make this one to sound
like d d right okay D so does it make a
difference when you hit it in different
parts try to hit it up here here and
here see what
happens that kind that's kind of sounds
duller but it's the same note this one
just sounds high so let's just yeah
let's just yeah let's just hit them all
[Music]
okay if there's more water the speed of
the vibrations is kind of
slower do you want to try taking some
water out this glass right here why
because it's it's a little off and if we
take a little water out it would be a
little higher you know if you do it
regular so it's too low right now yeah I
think so
okay let see
[Music]
your point over the
[Music]
one try little l
yeah that's it okay so this can go
out thank you for your help okay you
been also kind but bye
[Music]
okay why there's
no it took us almost 2 hours but we
think we have it right yep okay you can
play it are you sure yep okay okay here
it
[Music]
goes oo I think it's good almost the
only problem was the high note we
emptied the glass and it's still not
high enough so there wasn't anything we
could do it might have taken us less
time if we had a piano nearby to help us
tune it out you can play all kinds of
other songs too now it's time for you to
experiment think of a question that you
unanswered like what would happen with a
differ Siz glass or a different type of
liquid make a prediction then change one
thing that's the variable and test it
out when you're done send your reports
to zoom be sure to tell us what you
thought was going to happen and what
actually happened and if you want to see
reports from other Zoomers make sure you
check out our Zoom side feedback section
of the zoom website at
www.pbs.org where every week you'll find
new
results Zoom will resume after this
