[Music]
dear Zoom can you make a pencil stand on
its tip using only two pieces of wire
and two clothes pins Becky S Casten
Minnesota PS you can balance it on your
nose or your finger okay okay well I
just thought of something but because
you see if I well look wait look I have
a pencil let's just say I have like it's
already on if I go like down here and I
I make supporters so they support it if
it stands up it can fall back or like
this and if I make it on here
like this yeah but if we tried to
balance it on our nose or on our fingers
these would have nothing to balance on
and the pencil would just fall over
anyway H I think we should start with
the close pins to try to have both sides
have even weights on
them well yeah but we still got to use
this and if it's even
weight go like that yeah but it's closer
now see I think watch okay maybe if I
clip the close pins a little further
on okay so maybe that doesn't
work maybe it does no it
doesn't maybe if we wrap some wire
around it to make it heavier so it can
study itself just wrap it
around see like cuz now the wire is just
going around the pencils and that the
weight kind of stays the same on both
sides and you should put another piece
of wire up here yeah up the top of the
pencil yeah and now oh this doesn't
work one more try maybe it's the more
weight it has the more it
falls maybe going to try wrapping this
around like this so that the wire is
even on both sides now I I think the
wire is even on both sides and then add
clip
here and clip
here TR
this nope that did not
work ah what this is hard well I saw you
did something went like
this I'm going to continue your idea
see yeah so now we can slide
off ah keep
time okay I don't think this is going to
work either
though how about on this side but we can
only use
two maybe if we move the wire
down and then tightened
it wrap this around oh I think I almost
got it
I did it cool all right it's a balance I
knew it had to be something to do with
balancing it's a balancing act I wrapped
the wire around the bottom and then I
hung the clothes pins off the side
wonder if I can get it to balance off my
nose
hello try balancing other objects like a
wooden spoon on a soda bottle what other
the materials might you need to help you
do this make sure to send any
discoveries you make to
[Music]
zoom
zoom dear Zoomers hi my name is Megan T
I'm from Dallas Texas I'm a big fan of
the show it's nice to see a show of kids
with many different races and religions
I think it shows kids all over the
country that no matter how different
someone is you can still have fun I've
been watching Zoom since day one and I
really enjoy it and I learn a lot of new
things with love Megan
te cool okay dear Zoom you can make a
snowflake by folding a piece of paper
from top to bottom and side to side then
make then make shapes with with scissors
fold it the same way again then make
some more shapes open it up and you have
a snowflake another an S of Chicago
Illinois look on back look on the
back awesome awesome I like your name

water and boil it you will be what oh
you will be left with with just salt we
tried it and it really works it tastes
just like salt but don't eat it here is
a sample of what happened from Roo and
Michelle P of Bradley Beach New

it's salt
water the salt water help I got here's
an email from Stephanie I'm learning
ltin at home I'm going to study and
learn more Latin over my vacation did
you know that we you got Etc from the
Latin phrase Etc which means and the
rest so never end your sentence and Etc

quotation cwe Ka it means beware of a
dog as they say in Latin or used to W
goodbye be
[Music]
well zomo
here's a toy kids actually played with
in colonial times when the United States
wasn't a country yet they made it from
stuff they found around the house like
wood and string pull the ends and it
makes a buzzing noise listen can you
hear
it for today's room do I'm going to show
you how to make one sent in by Danny F
of Syracuse New York he calls it a
whirly gig
and instead of wood we're going to
recycle and use a yogurt container lid
you can decorate it any way you like I
use stickers and crayons to decorate
this one here's what you
do take a piece of masking
tape and put it on both
sides of your yogurt container
lid like
this and this
cut a piece of string to be two arm
lengths or about 40 C 40 in
[Music]
Long here's your
string now poke two holes in the lid to
be about 4 inch
apart and be careful for the pin when
you poke through cuz it's pretty
sharp and since the holes are so small
I'm going to take my scissors and make
the holes
bigger and watch out for the scissors
too cuz it could be pretty
sharp yeah come on like that now it
should look like
this now thread your string through one
hole in the
lid and out through the other
[Music]
and tie a knot at the
[Music]
ends I'm going to tie two knots to make
it
stronger there we
go now hold the two
Loops so the lid hangs between your two
hands like
this now wind it up much e you hand
until it feels tight around your
fingers here we go and pull keep moving
your hands in and out to keep the yogurt
lid
going there you have it cool
huh if you have a zoom do send it to
zoom box 350 Boston M
02134 or to the zoom website at triple

Javier G of Los Angeles California
Caroline's going to help me with it okay
carine hold these two pencils pushing

pull them apart what does it feel like
feels like this stes again oh my
gosh is that weird that's so
cool it's like magnet right yeah it's
it's hard to P them apart I think that
actually your muscle is because you're
pushing it so close together cuz they're
not magnets really I didn't really need
to tie them that was just make you
annoyed
