kelly oh of new orleans louisiana sent
in this phenom
did you know that if you rub a wet
finger on top of a glass with a stem it
will make music we thought we should try
it out
right what
a finger all right
hold it at the bottom
wow it's really loud
what if you put water into the glass
yeah what do you think will happen
i think we'll go lower because i think
that vibrations are kind of harder
like going through water and i think it
will go lower because
the vibration goes through air
and so it there's not going to be that
much like right now if i go like that
it's full of air and if you put water
air can't i don't think if there's not a
more it yeah and i don't think air can
go through water
okay ready just put a lid on this one
about there
halfway this way this one
and i'll do the last one all right
this one's almost full wait
almost to the top
all right okay
whoa
right now
finger
i'll try this one try that one
yeah that's a lot like yeah
you can just look you can even see some
of the vibrations in the water
look you can see the vibrations in this
one too can you yeah
that's high this is just a little water
so this should be high
i can't see any vibrations in this one
not enough water
oh wait i'm not holding ready let's try
you try that one and i'll try these two
this is so cool
hey try this whenever i go to a
restaurant again
so we were right
the one with no water was highest
and one full of water was lowest yep
cool
see if you can use different shade
glasses that have stems to make
different sounds if you come up with
something cool send it to zoom box 350
boston mass oh two one three four
yay okay cool
hey ray yeah lisa
how did the river hurt itself
i don't know it had a waterfall
my name is tyrell
i'm 13 years old
and i love to sing and write songs
i want to love you but i
don't know why everybody expresses
themselves in different ways and manners
and shapes and forms
and mine is singing in music
you will become
my school community prep
is having a talent show
and i've decided to do an original song
i have to persuade my cousin kenny to
come and do it with me he's a piano
player
oh
i'm just gonna put the whole summer
twice yeah
tuesday
hold up hold on i can't remember this
part hold on
you hit like the key way down there
i will give you the glory
i will
i think we all have to express ourselves
because we all have our own opinions and
emotions and
feelings and if you don't express
yourself then you're holding all these
things and you're bottling up inside of
you if they're like really happy
emotions you really don't want to keep
them inside you want to get them out and
you want to have fun with it
when i was about six years old i started
singing with the junior choir at my
church
gospel music in itself is to help your
spirit and your soul
gospel music is happy music
it's supposed to help people through
trials and tribulations things that
they're going through in daily life
every week people go to church to hear
gospel music because they want to feel
uplifted
if you love music
and you have a feeling that you want to
express yourself i encourage you to do
it and let it all just come out

what's up who is your favorite hero my
hero is my mom because she's raised me
and she takes care of me when i'm sick
i would say the police because they help
you every time that you are in trouble
or when you're hurt the ambulance comes

she um she has a problem with her legs
but she's really good about it and she's
always happy martin luther king jr

doesn't use super strength like superman
my hero is my mom and my dad because
they made me who i am today
zoom chat zoom chat zoom chat
dear zoom i like to talk with my friends
about a lot of things but one of my
favorite things to talk about is my
heroes i've got a question for you who
are your heroes what makes a real hero
why is your hero your hero and what
makes him or her so special
and i'm not talking about superheroes
with super powers and such
your friend judith why of woodridge new
jersey
my hero is
she was part of my family but she died
her name was karen
and she's my hero because she was like
she was really independent she like
spoke her mind and um she was a really
good person and i don't think that she
should have
passed away like that she did i'm sorry
well i can't say one of my heroes might
have been my teacher miss hearth i mean
she may not have been my favorite
teacher but like when
like she persisted until she got
where she wanted to be which was a
teacher who got to teach like
basically all the world and so and
that's really cool because like she uh
she had to go through a lot of obstacles
to get where she to where she wanted to
be and now she's there and
that makes her sort of a hero my mom and
dad are always there for me whenever i
need them you know i can always tell
them something and they'll help me out
they're always there for me so that
makes them my heroes and my friends like
my best friend she's always there for me
and she always like understands how i'm
feeling and stuff
sony that makes
me feel happy
and like makes my goal a lot bigger
because like the person i want to be
like
and
it just makes me want to reach to where
he is and it's really cool what's the
name will smith ah i like him
he's like
he makes my goal a lot bigger because it
just looks like it's so much fun to like
be him it's like
he's like right persisting to get to
where he is
two
um
it's a hero and heroin
my dad and my mom because um they're
always there for me
and if i want something they'll try it
they'll try to get it and even if they
don't get it i'm still happy
i love my parents so much
they try their best to do it and then
sometimes i feel bad
because
because sometimes i really want
something and they get it
and then then i feel bad because i made
them i made them get it like so bad i
think a hero could be somebody that you
like look up to like i kind of look up
to one of my brothers jeremy because he
like
persists and goes after things that he
wants and really doesn't stop until he
gets them and they also he is like i
wish i was like i know me too because
he's not one of those people who doesn't
think he can reach his dream he knows he
can do it
sandy r of newtonville massachusetts
nominated mrs benjamin's class at the
cabot school for today's zuma latte
after studying the natural habitat of a
park near their school they decided that
they wanted to do something to benefit
the park
so they made a brochure about the park's
history planted wildflowers and hung a
plaque at the park's entrance
good work guys you'll be receiving your
zumacum lining certificate in the mail
hey carolyn
hi jess
there were five men standing under one
umbrella
how come none of them got wet i don't
know because it wasn't raining
it's funny
justin b of burbank california sent us
this question
do plastic and glass bottles make the
same sound when you blow across their
top we thought we'd try and find out
all right let's try to blow on it
that's awesome now let's see if the
plastic bottle sounds the same
this one is this one's higher
they sound pretty much the same
it's cool
let's try water filling with water
to see if it changes any sound in it
let's use this one because this one's
kind of seeing better this one moves
around
okay
say now
no
that's good
let's see if they're equal
this one is a little more
that's a little higher okay so
like
now
much better perfect okay all right so
that's slow on this one
got higher
why do you think we got higher
because there's more water in it and
there's less space yeah i think there's
less space and there's no space for the
like the sound to be there to go yeah
let's try this one
that's awesome i don't know why that one
got higher
i think because
this gets slim right here
it's like it's thick down here we're
going to get slim up here and this one
it's like
it's like wide all the way up here and
just at the top it gets skinny
let's try to make it so that they sound
the same
so what do you think we should do
for
more water and to make the pitch higher
okay
tell me one
okay
um
still
some slower okay so let's put more water
in that one let's let's water out here
nope not yet
yep that sounds pretty cool
so we got the same let's see what the
water level is like now
a little bit less than an inch
more water than before
it's because this is wider and it has
more space to go in than this one
because this one's thinner and this one
has less space to go in
now it's time for you to experiment
think of a question that you want
answered like do different shaped
bottles make different sounds make a
prediction then test out your question
and send your reports to zoom
