today on Jim my duck string likes to

roam one day thing Wilson's home he came

back nice and clean well we're stringing

a string bean well that's changing we're

gonna teach you lean against an

imaginary wall right let's go later and

puts up the wall yeah funding for zoom

is provided by the National Science

Foundation America's investment in the

future

the Corporation for Public Broadcasting

a private corporation funded by the

American people and by contributions to

your PBS station from viewers like you

today's show we're going to do a lot of

cool things

Mickey's young recipe experiment with

science and take on some fun challenges

that's very square going to play this

game that was sanctioned by jelly and

jag as Matthew a New Hampshire

steer zoom I learned a really awesome

game at basketball camp please try it

here's how to play get in teams of three

the first person gets down on their

knees with their head tucked in and is

the wrong the second person jumps over

the rock and ducati some tree they just

stand up the third person jumps over the

rock goes around the tree twice and

becomes a bridge the person who is the

lock then goes around the tree two times

it goes under the bridge and becomes a

lock again repeat that until one team

reaches the finish line okay you ready

yep on your mark

whoa

no no this is pantomime you can use

pantomime tell a story without any words

all you need is your body today we're

going to teach you to lean against an

imaginary wall run escalator and click

toggle or when you're doing pantomime it

really helps that you imagine thing that

you're actually panting money like

leaning up against an imaginary wall

here's what you'll do to lean against

the wall see if you can do it along with

us cross one leg over the other and lean

in the opposite direction then put your

elbow up in the air like it's resting on

a wall make sure you keep your hand

really loose so dangles like this

alright

once you're really good at being against

the wall then you can try the escalator

you need a table or a couch to practice

this pantomime first thing you do is

pretend to grab the escalator rail like

this then walk forwards slowly lower

yourself just a little bit at every step

now the most important thing about this

pantomime it keeps you back straight and

your head up right here is again this

time can go behind the table so you can

see the illusion Kenny look that

would it be like well and now Eric and I

will show you one that we can do

together play tug-of-w*r k*ll poor I

wanted to the rope and also on the other

so first I'll teach you to pull on the

rope

put one hand in front of the other

so there's a few inches in between your

hands to pull the rope towards your body

your hand shouldn't move only your body

like this

see my hands didn't move it was like

they were stuck in space and the space

between them stayed the same to pull the

rope again put one hand in front of the

other and pull towards your body once

you get that down you and a friend can

play tug of w*r one part was one person

pulls on one end of the rope the other

person moves towards them so you'll have

to plan out your moves we practice this

with a real lope and it really helped

earlier okay so first I'll pull Eric and

Eric will pull me and I'll pull Eric

again and we'll go back and forth a few

times before I go flying

okay you ready huh good luck come on -

chanting arms really hard classification

so but the practice is really worth it

it's really fun and easy we're done

change the friends yeah let's go

hi i'm gon' win i'm salvia go

I live in spot in New Jersey and I'm an

author

this is how those flowers of Luschka it

seems me singing freedom of a start and

without a magical grandmother and her

magical scuff it blows away after should

wash that and it helps people in need

one time it helps a widow kept your

children comes in on the table and all

the sum of the whole feast of the table

all it helps the carpenter and sailors

and it just keeps being blown about

helping people I got the idea for my

great-grandmother who's Ukrainian a

publishing company had a contest for

young writers and I am today the one big

prize which was get your book published

it was so incredible and amazing to see

the story of a book

today I'm going soon for creating at a

bookstore it was a magic guys may have

all little pieces of cloth gold silk red

wool

silver satin and blue cotton and I like

book readings because you get to share

this story with people stuff did you

write anything else besides this book I

write stories but this is the first one

that was published

Nach words that can come up and talk to

you and ask you questions I really like

the book

one most important thing about being a

writer is to have imagination you can

imagine yourself in situations and place

30 times that can happen in real life

I was learning how to adapt to things

and how to take on situations it helps

you plea write things down and read over

each glance at it and say wow that makes

sense now

and sometimes I need a story idea from

it well the coolest things that I have

your book published and being a let's go

into a library or a bookstore and play

it off the shelf

here's a great song to sing around the

campfire or anywhere else with your

friends it's called the bean song okay

ready go my dog likes home well well

well well well well

here's today's the side challenge it was

sent in by Heather F of childhood

Massachusetts without using our hands we

need to lift this tennis ball 50

centimeters in the air even though we

can't use our hands we can use the table

2 cups string scissors tape up to 50

pennies and a little stick so Kalista

tennis ba*ls we need to build something

out of these materials so let's get

started well I think this would be good

for like to get it up to 50 like we

could use the bottom of the broom

that yes or we could put it this way so

it's a dirty look stick because the

gravity's put like pushing down on the

ball so you can try to make it the

fourth so it pulls up we give you the

string to like pull it up of course and

somehow tie the string around the coffee

and then so could gum hold the ball

inside that's a good idea you see how we

have a few pennies here when we have a

couple left we could use the cup to tug

on the string to pull the cups with the

ball there we go yeah so you can bring

that around and what I'll measure to see

how long the string needs to be you

could cut it down here both will hold

the cup down here and you can wrap it

around now stick the yarn I'll pull down

boom and I'll cut it for the pennies in

here so we're ready for the way wow this

cups really strong job all right

here you can stick it through yes it

down and then tape it on and then the

tape will make the ball stick it then is

so awesome maybe we should do something

like um to make the cups straight when

it's going down to make it go straight

down and so tip over because whoops we

could cover tape on the top okay I don't

the tips over nothing

all right there we go now and now we'll

just stick a whole bottom yeah okay oh

there you go

you know what I think like this will

work because the weight of the bunnies

is heavier than their end of the wall

the way down the way is going to go down

and this is going to come home yes oh no

the way the problem out here and hold

that the bottom here is like maybe just

friction oh yeah I've an idea I have an

idea maybe if we cook see how the string

going back and forth yes it's too much

going on like like over here all the

stars living together yeah so it's a lot

of Nations yeah maybe if you took it off

and put it down here there's no there's

no like stop there's nothing rubbing

together okay buddy

it's higher than it actually is higher

than 50 so how 68 little yellow so that

is so good good job fun

your game here's the game cause land sea

air

sent in by Natalie T of Santa Clara

California to play this game all you

have to do is put a line on the ground

okay guys here's how you play I'm going

to give out three two minutes either

you have to jump behind the line if I

call it sea they get to jump over the

almost very well well Rachel do it again

hi my name is Andrew I have a part-time

paper and invented this machine to help

me fold in newspapers and make it a lot

easy

way it works is you put the newspaper

and right here on this table and as you

turn the wheel these grooves cut in

towards the middle and that makes this

come down and fold the paper the first

time the seven fold this means when you

come in and you press this that comes in

holding a newspaper or second time and

pushing it out towards where you would

grab it with your hand and then all you

have to do is taking these people from

here and lovers and put it in your pile

and is ready to deliver so here it goes

I am 36 to go here this mass that I

wanna out of waiting in Massachusetts

neat it's cinnamon toast

I wanna sighs my mom taught me how to

make it and it's better than

store-bought okay what'd you get toast

some rabbit I have some already job done

spread some butter on the toast it's

that if you spread the butter right when

the toast comes out of the toaster oven

that way the butter melts on the toast

it'll taste more then sprinkle some

cinnamon and sugar on the toes you want

to use about twice as much sugar than

sinning
