[Music]

[Music]

looking for a way to lighten up your

lunch well here's a way to turn an

ordinary sandwich into a butterfly

sandwich this idea was emailed to us by

Jennifer V of Glenco Ontario in Canada

take your favorite sandwich I'm using

ham and cheese cut this sandwich

diagonally so you have two

triangles arrange the

triangles like

this stick your piece of celery in the

middle of your

sandwich take two raisins and put them

on top of the celery for the

eyes and here's your butterfly sandwich

enjoy come back

[Music]

what's up what's up what's up what's up

what's

up how many birds can you name that live

in your neighborhood blue J Crow and

bluebird

woodpecker blue

J

uh that's all I really know a

crow blue J and crows

Falcons Eagles Hawks

spearos

crows and blue jays

robins and blackbirds oh Bea and a owl

the bird that lives in my neighborhood

is an owl what's up what's up what's up

what's up what's up

[Music]

oo here's a challenge inspired by Emily

G of Michigan we have to build a bridge

using straws and pins that can support

100 pennies we have permission to use

the pins if you try this at home make

sure you do too we have to build a

bridge using straws and pins that can

support 100 pennies so you want to start

with the deck yeah let's start start

with like the deck of the bridge how do

you think we should build it m I think

we should take maybe two pins at a time

like a pin yeah like and then stick a

two stries two stries but I I think what

we should do maybe is pinch the end of

the straw and then fit another one

inside of it that way it's long and you

can do

this yes okay let's see how long the pin

is the PIN might be long enough to go

through three yeah like you know what I

mean it'll kind of measure it out a

little bit Yeah it actually can go

through three right it can go through

more than three so get more so we just

put them together like that and then we

should put our symbols on and just stick

the pin through that'll keep them

together did you get it yeah there oh

good job hey actually if it go even more

than three probably it might be able to

do four five or yeah four five I think

that we should also put pins here right

there and right here keep it together so

they can be together that's a good idea

so let's just try that it's just water

this yeah I don't know how we're going

to do this because I what it's going to

do is automatically when we put the

weight in the center it's going to go

like high yeah it's like it's going to

split and the two ends are going to go

up to keep these stable down here we

could like attach it to something like a

like a clump of straws and like attach

it to this these straws right here

somehow yeah I think we should just make

another pin full of these and then we

should think of like how to make

support this is

fun I can't wait to see how it looks

like when we finished yeah especially if

we do the supports we'll be so proud so

now you want to like individually attach

the ends of pins

like got one more good job now they're

attached all right now you can like you

can feel how much stronger feel it's

much sturdier

yeah see good job it hold it it does

right now we have to put something to

support so it doesn't actually so so

just in case we need like support

support so I think what we should do is

we could should take like a pump like

this much many straws and like put it on

one side and one side on the other like

that and then what we might have to do

is we might have to take like two straws

and attach them to right here and like

attach them to down here that way it's

like a triangle and it can it'll be much

stronger if we do that so what we could

do is we pinch the end of the straw then

bend them up and then we could have that

that's not that tall but when we attach

it the other way it'll pull down and

like what when we attach this oh oops

when we attach the straw over here and

then attach it down there it'll P it'll

give it this it'll P there will be

tension that way there'll be tension

that way so so it'll work yeah I think

that I think that'll will good

idea w we did a really good job it's

really sturdy did it looks sturdy too

yeah we have like the towers right here

and stuff so and the crossbars are

supporting the weight in the middle so

yep so do you want to test it yeah it's

kind of okay

wa there we go all

right now let's see if it if it can hold

more see how much more all right got

some more

things I'm not going to put them all on

at the same time just yeah put them one

or two by

two

Yay good job that was awesome that holds

200 pennies wow that's

awesome keep watching because later in

the show we're going to experiment more

with our

[Music]

bridge two more

[Music]

[Music]

my name is colen and I'm a speed skater

advantages sometimes you want to like go

give up and keep on trying

the dream a poem written by Katherine

Pete of North Brig New

Jersey one day I dreamed the Little

Dream whoa I'm swimming in a bowl of ice

cream oh no it's starting to melt there

was nothing like the fear I

felt now I'm flying on a feather I hope

I stay in good weather now I'm sitting

on a cloud the wind really isn't that

loud who now I'm flying through the air

with nothing under me there's no nothing

there I don't know exactly what my

teacher said it sounded like Wake up

sleepy

[Music]

head Zoom chat Zoom chat Zoom

chat have you ever had a really weird

dream will Sally be of Pittsburgh

Pennsylvania wrote I used to always

dream of flying Sally wants us to talk

about our dreams and what we think they

mean so have you ever like a weird um

this might sound kind of crazy I always

have like really really weird dreams

like like they usually have something to

do with like

monkeys I I have like a really vivid

imagination and like I'm really into

magical things and things like that so

maybe that's why I always have kind of

strange dreams they always have

something to do with that kind of thing

so

yeah I can um Rel to Caroline Ione had a

dream um that I was like in huge Forest

except it was weird it was like a force

there was kind of a path and the trees

were tall and there were monkeys and one

of them was wet I got bring them home

was

crazy I think you can have dreams about

maybe something that you like that you

would like to happen or something or

maybe something that you're really

afraid of like that's where Nightmares

come in you know what I mean if you're

afraid of something you might think

about it a new dream or if you really

want something to happen like say you

want a new toy or something

you might dream about it when you're

sleeping so I don't really have like

crazy dreams some of it's just like I

dream about what happened during the day

or what I think Happ yeah sometimes that

happens to me too sometimes I think up

stories of like that with all my friends

or things like that well Matt what about

you I have like dreams of they're not

they're kind of weird but they're um I'm

usually in my bed in my bed so I feel

like I'm floating or something and then

if I like feels like suddenly my bed

might fall mhm and then you just wake up

oh yeah have you ever you feel and it

feels like you're really like but you're

like yeah and I remember I had a dream

once and I I I imagine I was like um on

our porch somehow and from the porch I

fell to my room but it was weird cuz

like in one once in my room I I didn't

wake up I kept on fing falling then I

went back up to my room and then I woke

up I was you know and I oh my go I was

like my mom's right there my brother's

right there I was like whoa what

happened sometimes I dream about like I

dream the same thing kind of like a

continuation the next night it's almost

like a full story so when you don't

finish it the first night then you kind

of continue it and it goes on yeah I've

done that a lot before when one dream or

something I remember waking up in the

middle of a dream and you you change

something like you almost don't like

what happened in your dream so you can

change it and yeah it's really cool how

it's interesting about like how you can

have all different dreams and then you

kind of comprehend them in your mind and

they all mean something different too so

it's really

gra Zoom reviews

here's a review emailed to us by Sarah W

of Von Rouge Louisiana Sarah read Mr

Popper Penguins by Richard and Florence

Atwater and illustrated by Robert Lawson

Mr Popper's Penguins is a great book it

tells about a man named Mr Popper and a

bunch of penguins Mr Popper loves

Antarctica so one day he sends a note to

a man working there and that's how Mr

Popper ands up with his first penguin

and pretty soon he gets all the rest of

his

Penguins we read this in my class this

year and I absolutely loved it I would

recommend it to everybody especially

those who like penguins and

Antarctica you can find a lot more

reviews of theer's favorite books music

movies and TV shows in the review

section of the zoom website check it out

[Music]

earlier in the show we successfully

built the bridge out of straws and pins

now we're going to see which parts are

and which parts aren't needed to support

200 P to test this out we're going to

use these

scissors to snip away at the bridge and

we put tape on the cup so the pennies

don't fall over so you just want to

start cutting all right I think this

part is oh sorry it's like loose and it

it I don't feel any tension yeah I don't

think anything's pulling or pushing on

so let's put it there also over

here that was close it's pretty loose

over here too so yeah it

is now we're just little

cutting this one's loose okay I'll cut

this see now it's not like pulling or

pushing now these aren't doing anything

but we don't have to cut them off anyway

all right

um this is pretty

loose you can see the ends like going up

and it's getting heavier in the middle

they probably did like they probably

pulled or pushed a little bit but just

not a lot so they weren't doing much oh

oh you can

there okay right here should I okay okay

it's like a probably supporting a lot

oh good job when we snip them you can

see that the sides are going up more and

it's getting heavier in the middle but

but it's still supporting and yeah I'll

do one by one for these

one oh my

goodness okay now we have no more

crossbars left right I know so I think

the death so now the death is just

supporting the bridge so do you want to

just snip off one oh two at a time two

at a time so the crossb is didn't really

doing it anything should I snip this one

too

yeah okay now we'll go we'll go more

just let's keep snipping two at a time

and see when it falls I'm just going to

put my hand just in case

oh wow that was cool I think we broke

that one straw that must have that must

supported it look at this came like

right off so we found that these cross

Bridges would really help support it but

but it didn't it probably did it

probably pushed or pulled a little bit

but just not much not as much as the

deck did no yeah the deck really counted

I think I thought the deck was pretty

good the crossbows just helped it like

stay down yeah stay down so it didn't so

the ends didn't tip yeah if you have any

straw Bridges designs at home send them

to

zoom you call the

tune Zoom

Zoom Z

35 and Mat 2 1 3 4 to

like colored paper doilies stickers and

special zigzag scissors then we cut out

flowers colored eggs and lots of chicks
