welcome to Cafe Zoom do you know there
are different ways to make tacos I'm
Guatemalan and Guatemalan tacos look
like this we wrap ground beef and diced
vegetables together in a corn tortilla
roll it up then fry until it's crispy
I'm not Mexican but Mexican tacos look
like this and are made by putting ground
beef lettuce and cheese in a corn or
flour
tortilla the Mexican tacos I make at
home are like these many taco salads
Ashley M of windsboro South Carolina
sends us the recipe so here's what
you'll need to make six delicious mini
Taco salads one package of starbot
refrigerated pie crust and also you'll
need fillings 1/3 lb of cooked ground
beef ask an adult to help you cook it I
have some that's already cooked shredded
lettuce shredded cheese and taco sauce
first you preheat the oven at
350° if you're not allowed to use an
oven then be sure to ask an adult to
help you then you take your pie crust
and you lay it out like this like a
circle and then using a glass you cut
out circles I'll cut out
two there we go it's it's kind of stuck
all right that's
one that's two they always get stuck on
me yeah and then you take your pie crust
circles and you put them into the muffin
tin kind of Squish it down there so it's
in there real tight there I think that's
enough all right now you bake for about
9 minutes I put my gloves on open the
oven all right then I take my muffin tin
and put it in
there there we go all
right there there you
go all right I have some that's already
cooked and cooled see how they turn
light brown now it's time to add your
fillings you can use any fillings you
like I'm going to put the lettuce first
all right take this and I'll just put
sprinkle some on then sort of push it
down so there's enough space for the
other fillings all right then I'm going
to use let's see my ground beef all
right take the
spoon put it in there I love ground beef
and it's smells so good yummy yummy
yummy then I'll use the
cheese sprinkle some cheese
there I love cheese
too now time to add your taco
sauce I love spicy food I love taco
sauce just going to add a little more
there so it can be a lot more a little
more spicy all
right to find other recipes for party
foods like mini pizzas or burrito bites
check out the zoom website at
pbskids.org b appe a
tea M tastes really
good what's up what's up what's up
what's up what's
up if you could pick one thing to bring
to the moon what would it be I would
bring food so I wouldn't starve I would
bring a computer so I can type because I
like typing if I was going to the moon
for one day I would bring a phone so I
could tell my friends that I was on the
moon I would send a spacit so they won't
be
freezing I would bring my dad because I
love him if I can send something to the
Moon I will send a space blanket so
people can lay down on the moon if I
could bring anything to the Moon I would
bring gravity boots because if not I
will be floating all over the place
what's up what's up what's up what's up
what's
up do you remember when we did an egg
drop
do you remember when we made Zoom
Vehicles
go oh oh oh oh
oh well today we're going to combine the
two by making Zoom egg vehicles our
challenge is to First build a vehicle
that will stop an egg from breaking when
it slides down the string and smashes
into the wall we can use 10 small rubber
bands and as much spaghetti as we like
as a part of the challenge we have to
make sure that some of the egg is always
showing to test out our vehicles we're
going to attach them to this straw and
string after we've successfully designed
our egg Vehicles we're going to see if
they can still prevent the eggs from
breaking when we drop them from this
ladder all right come on guys all right
let's do okay so I think that the
spaghetti yep is here to absorb a lot of
shock like I think when the egg falls we
we obviously don't want the egg to break
so I think if the um the spaghetti is
first if that hits the wall first it
will it will yeah it will take um a lot
of that pressure off of the egg I think
we should attach it like that onto the
egg right and so we put okay we have to
attach them like this onto the egg right
right now we can spread it out yep we do
this all around the egg okay so you want
to put the um the rubber band on first
and then slip the spaghetti through all
right and just stick them on like this
yep so what what more the spaghetti it
probably like absorb more sh yeah
exactly so why do you think this is
going to work cuz cuz um there spaghetti
surrounding the egg if we do that all
the way around we'll have but we' have
to put on more um rubber bands cuz it
might not stay yeah it's not tight
enough do you think if we took it like
that and we took it with an the last do
you think that would gather it I
actually that's a good idea here I think
we should break the spaghetti in half
it's too long all righty so let's start
it let's start over I'll put the
elastics on good idea it's all how we
going to get spaghetti in here we just's
just slip it through one by one so we go
like this well it's going to take a
while but we'll
try all right oh it already is looking
pretty
cool
e okay forget that it's going to hit
it's going to hit like that it's going
to push all of it away what what if it
hits on on this side a little bit we
need we need it protecting everything oh
maybe if we made little packs like this
and we like double them up we could put
those all around the egg that is a good
idea because before it was just like all
and it wouldn't okay so let's try that
we make little like
packages right all right this look look
look look if it falls like if it goes
like this and bounces
oh we're we're trying to put these
around the egg that way when it hits the
wall the spaghetti will absorb the shock
is that right yeah kind like armor I
think the reason we made all little
packets is because before it was all
spread out we couldn't figure out a way
to um keep them all together so this is
a good plan we did it got it wow that
looks really powerful look at all the
right and I think this is really going
to absorb the sh the egg there okay
there we go that's only one that's good
that's ex good
look looks like a hand
glider okay Kaye T good luck luck ready
ready in
five four three two
one no wa did it I think it survived
yeah it did it work it worked
it nice job did it seriously yes proud
of my little
leg nice job guys wow scratched look at
that so do you guys want to try yours
yeah sure good luck guys
thanks one two
three did it work y it's work they
work both of them
work good job nice structure
building we were both successful in
building our Zoom Vehicles watch later
to see see if they stand the egg drop
[Music]
test hi my name is Janine pulley I live
in Hudson New Hampshire and I love to
fly but not this kind of plane I fly
this kind of plane a glider
plane a glider doesn't have a motor it's
really quite safe to keep it safe you're
required to inspect the entire plane
before taking off for defects or loose
Parts you also have to check all of the
[Music]
controls today this toe plane will take
my instructor Tom Matthews and me up to
an altitude of 3,000 ft all right stick
forward yep don't get any
potholes it takes the average person
about 40 to 50 flights with a trained
instructor before they can try for solo
license
controlling the glider during takeoff is
challenging you have to concentrate on
steering the glider straight while
keeping the wings
level good take off jine over
there ask you reach 3,000 ft you need to
release the glider from the toe
cable here to the left here to the
[Music]
right God s
away
once we're actually gliding I feel
peaceful and relaxed as if I'm floating
like a
[Music]
cloud my hands are on top of your
shoulders when Tom puts his hands on my
shoulders he's showing me that I'm the
one in control the glider and he's not
touching any of the controls
all right Janine let's get ready to set
it up for a landing okay Landing is
complicated you have to keep an air
speed of 60 MPH while staying parallel
to the
runway next you want to apply the dive
Brak which makes the glider come down an
altitude you have to descend to an
altitude of 500 ft while turning into
the runway how we doing Janine good
we're at
[Music]
500 gliding has made me a more
responsible
person I think that focus and confidence
in yourself can help you achieve almost
anything Allison K of Shoreline
Washington sent us these fan
d
e Fanny dly likes fiddles but doesn't
like violins why do you think that is f
a n e
l Fanny dly likes ladders but doesn't
like heights why do you think that
is a n e d o l e bny Dy likes broom but
doesn't like
cleaning why do you think that f a n e
l we want your fanny dues so send them
to
zoom Fanny
[Music]
D zoom into
action I volunteered by raising money
for the diabetes clock in my town I did
this by creating a team I called the
Dream Team and designing butons next I
went to our friends neighbors and from
local businesses and asked if they would
help I was able to collect
$700 to help finding care for juvenile
diabetes you can be a member of the Zoom
team too just visit the website at
wg. org zooom and tell us what you do to
volunteer here you can also find out
what other kids are doing to make a
difference and learn how you can
volunteer in Western New England
remember the small things you do can add
up to make a big
difference zoom into action and join the
zoom
theme
[Music]
ooh earlier we both egg vehicles to
prevent our eggs from breaking as the
vehicles hit the wall the eggs stopped
gradually this means that the force on
the egg wasn't that big when it hit the
wall so the egg didn't break but if
there weren't any Vehicles then there
would be a big force on the eggs and
they would have smooshed against the
wall like
this we've recreated our egg vehicles to
see if they can survive when we drop
them from this ladder I think since the
egg before we launch it on the string
had like a path cut out for it already
and so it stayed where we wanted it to I
mean like we only put spaghetti on one
side of the egg because we wanted it to
hit the wall that way but I think if you
drop it from the ladder it can twist and
turn and there's no real path for it to
go on so it might crack where we really
don't want it to could crack right also
I think that when we're dropping it it's
a lot more Force than it was on the
string so cuz when it was going down
string it was going down gradually do
you want to try it okay okay one two
three
oh my gosh it's survived it worked
okay yeah
it's I really thought it was going to
break because there was so much but I
think your structure the top of the
spaghetti kind of protected it and I
think it shot the egg out like and so it
popped out I know that's so cool the
structure totally the structure totally
like so maybe that kept I think that it
was in the it was in here like this
until it hit and then it popped out so
let's see I don't think Al are going to
have as much luck as much luck as you
guys think so I think so cool I think
most eggs if you drop them up there
they're going to break I think it's just
like the unique design of Y ready one
two
three totally right in half oh my
goodness oh what
beautiful I think when it fell I think
it like this and on the outside like
said and ours was just on one side I
think that if you had it all around it
it wouldn't have broke as hard or maybe
not even broke at all I
know kayle's on alen's egg vehicle do
not survive the egg drop test that's
because when they dropped the egg it hit
the floor with a lot more force and was
traveling a lot faster then when we put
them on the string track and they hit
the wall also on the string track we
were able to contr control exactly which
part of the vehicle hit the wall I think
if we made our vehicle more cone-shaped
like Matt and Garrett did then our egg
would have survived the drop because it
would have been able to slide up and
down in the vehicle if you have any
ideas on how to make a successful egg
drop vehicle then send them to
[Music]
[Applause]
