the spiderweb game emailed to us by e m
of arlington massachusetts ian played
this game at his birthday party
he says that it's a fun game to play and
even more fun to set up
you need different colored ba*ls of
string for each player tie the ends of
each ball of string to different pieces
of furniture
then one at a time wind your string
through obstacles
like under chairs and around table legs
to make it look like a spider web
overlap the different colors of string
all the ba*ls or yarns should meet at
the end
this is your player's starting point if
you're having a party you might want to
set up the spiderweb before your guests
arrive
the players make their way through the
web we use these cute little fake
spiders to mark the end of the string
the first person to wind up their string
wins okay guys let's try it
okay okay all right all right i guess
i'll get this
do we all start at the same time yeah i
think so remark get set

okay okay oh yep oh boy okay
that's cool okay
it's like a big knot this is fine oh
this is cool i know
hey hey hey now look at my string

i know that was really fun i know this
is
what really bugs you something that
really bothers me is when i'm in my room
changing
my little brother just walks in without
knocking my dog because
it always licks the covers at night when
we're trying to sleep
and it's like annoying bugs bug me
because
when they get on your face or anywhere
you have to smack them away
it really bothers me when somebody
teases me or calls me fries
mosquitoes always bug me because they
bite and then a couple days later they
always itch
when i have to get up early in the
morning to get ready for school when i'm
really tired
my cat bothers me a lot when i get home
from a long trip
she like just bugs me all the time like
she keeps meowing
and like whenever i try to read a book
she starts licking my head
i have no idea why
ladies and gentlemen welcome to my
fantastic flea circus
thank you thank you and now
witness one of the most daring stunts
ever performed
fernando the fabulous flea will ride a
bicycle
on a tightrope while playing the tuba
and dancing to the poka
drum roll please
here he goes folks
isn't fernando fabulous folks
thank you
welcome to cafe zoom today i'm showing
you how to make this butterfly cake
this idea was sent in by chelsea d to
make one you'll need
a 13 by 9 inch cake you can make a
homemade one or make it by using a mix
just follow the directions on a box
frosting
you can make it homemade or buy it in a
can use food coloring to make it
any color you want if you buy it you'll
need two cans
and stuff to decorate your cake with
we're using coconut with food coloring
in it
gum drops jelly beans licorice whatever
you want
first when the cake is cool cut a one
inch thick strip from the short end of
the cake
that's a little bigger than one inch but
it doesn't matter
this is going to be your butterfly's
body
lay that aside for a second and then
with the rest of the cake cut four
triangles
these will be the wings this is really
easy to cut through
you can just make an x this
there we go
this is how you arrange it put all these
to the side for a second
put the body down put the two smaller
triangles down
there
then the two bigger wings
like this
no yes
there it gets a little confusing
sometimes
now it's time to frost your cake there
we go
it's a little hard to frost the sides
but there's a technique if you put a lot
of frosting on
and then put it in the middle and go
around the edges
that now you can frost the rest of it
ah perfection
okay now we can decorate
first i'm going to sprinkle on some
coconut if you don't like coconut you
don't have to use it
spread it around a bit maybe i'll mix it
with some green
just so you know i washed my hands
before i did this don't worry
then maybe i'll mix that with some
yellow
it's a very colorful very spring-like
cake
this is really fun you can be creative
with it
and then you get to eat at the same time
mix some green in
then you can decorate the cake with
anything you want
two jelly beans for the eyes
um gumdrop
here gumdrop
there and
two up here
last but definitely not least
your butterflies antennas just stick
them into the head
and voila there's your butterfly
now i get to try it
that is so
good you have to try
bon appetit

hi my name i'm 10 years is and i live
in tucson arizona and we are going on a
nature walk
today
i'm native american and we're in the
tohono autumn reservation
where my grandma lives this land is
mostly desert
we're going to be walking along the
desert
looking at different kinds of things
this is a cactus
they can grow about 300 years old
you gotta watch out for cactus because
there's these thicker things that can
poke you
oh
and sometimes you can even see lizards
look at your answer
sometimes on a walk you can see
treasures tarantulas
have eight legs they're hairy
if you see a transfer on the wall just
leave it alone and don't bother it
better go the other way
i like to go on walks because they it's
fun
in case you have nothing to do you just
walk and you get to exercise
you get to see a lot of things it's like
a good spot
and usually we don't get water in the
desert
but since it's been raining a lot here
we got a lot of water and now there's a
lake
whoa fishy fishies
i have a rock collection
usually i find sand rocks but
sometimes i find joists
the geode is a rock that after a long
time it had
it develops crystals inside the rock
a good one and how you find it
it has to be round and solid inside of
it's hollow so it's pretty easy to break
oh
yep it's one
these are the crystals inside it
when i grow up i want to be a filmmaker
i want to probably make a film about
the desert i prefer the desert
to be my favorite place
and now fernando the fabulous flea
will lift an entire teeny ton
drum roll please no
wait could this be true could fernando
actually be having some difficulty folks
come on fernando don't let your fans
down
congratulations fernando amazing
fernando has
done it again
crystal z of niles michigan sent us
directions to make a trombone
using a straw and some water okay all
you have to do is stick one end of the
straw
into the water and blow across the other
end like this
when you stick the straw into the water
deeper it makes the tone changes
that's because sound is made of
vibrations and when you blow across the
top of the straw
the air inside vibrates and makes the
sound
so this must mean the air is vibrating
differently
see if you can make a musical instrument
that uses vibrations
if you come up with something that you
think is really cool send your
discoveries to zoom
bugs in my dinner a poem by ryan c
of nina wisconsin a fly came along for

the fly by matthew d at the northwest

rachel c a fort atkins wisconsin emailed
us this challenge
what are two ways that you can use
exactly four nines to equal a hundred
you could add subtract multiply or
divide
two ways that you can use exactly four
nines to equal a hundred
ready okay let's try nine times nine
first because
that's 81 right yep so now we have two
nines we just need two more
81 plus nine
ninety oh man cause if we did plus nine
again it'd just be ninety-nine
okay
nine times nine
31 minus 9
which would be 71 no because that'd be
doing oh yeah
72 72 and then 22
um
how about
i want the page so what's your name
wanna try dividing nine by nine
one plus nine
wait do plus nine plus nine is ten
times nine no don't make me knit
what oh hold on oh i got it i got it
nine divided by nine equals one
and then if you put the two nines
together plus ninety
nine goes one hundred oh my gosh
now we have to think of another one
two ways that you can use exactly four
nines to equal a hundred
what haven't we tried yet we haven't
tried
can we use like point decimals
yeah yeah
for 99.
let's try and use a decimal somewhere in
there
2.99.99
i don't know 9.9
no that wouldn't work wait
99 divided by .99
okay all right now we have to move the
decimal over twice
first so you get two zeros
and then 99 goes in 99 once
99 0. 99 goes into zero
zero times
cool do you know any challenges that use
numbers to solve problems
if you do send them to zoom
