wgby hi Zoomers and welcome to Today's
show thank you so much for all the great
ideas you keep sending us we wouldn't
have a show without you Maggie W of
Sugarland Texas sent us this next game
called called daddy penguin here's how
you play the first players on each team
put a ball between their
feet then they have to Waddle to the end
of the course and back kind of like a
penguin so kind of like that it's kind
of hot if the ball drops in their feet
nits pick it up put it back between
their feet and keep on going want to
know why Maggie calls it Daddy penguin
we found out that some species of male
Penguins take care of their penguin eggs
they B them on their feet between their
feathers to keep them
warm okay so that your ball and
that's okay Penguins on your marks get
set
go
so you canjust it don't worry you're
good you're good now they're kind of
TI there there good

my
M welcome to Cafe Zoom today I'm going
to share with you a special recipe
that's been handed down from my
great-grandmother to my mother this
recipe originates in Finland where my
great-grandmother was born it's called
buaka that's finished for pancakes in
Finland it's traditional to serve this
treat when you have company for a
special event or just sometimes for
breakfast here's what you'll need to
make it one teaspoon
salt 3 tbsp
sugar 3 cups milk one stick of unsalted
butter three
eggs 3/4 cup flour it's better if you
sift the flour which means make it free
of clumps I already have some that's
sifted all right here's what you do beat
your three eggs in a bowl I already have
some that's beaten then mix in your
salt here we go your
sugar and your
milk it's really
cool so now I'm going
to go it's really cool the colors it has
like white with yellow stripes oh I can
feel where the sugar is little by little
add the
flour stir
it it's really it's getting harder to
[Music]
stir still pretty comfy there's a lot of
big pieces of
flow it's weird bonaka is spelled with a
p but it sounds like it's a b so it's
kind of crazy now you need to melt the
butter I already melted the butter in
the microwave I'm going to use these
mitts cuz the Butter's going to be
hot here we
go
there we go close
go I stirred the butter every 30 seconds
until it was melted I also put a piece
of waxed paper over the top of the dish
so that the butter didn't splatter when
it was in the microwave I got to put the
the MS back on
sometime okay take this off now add your
melted butter into the
mixture
oh it smells really good smells like
popcorn but the Butter's getting on my
NS here we
go I'm going to mix
it oh now it really looks cool the
butter made it a lot more colorful
that's good poured into a greased 9 by
13in pan I already have one that's
greased with
[Music]
butter we go all the butter and all
the baked for about 20 minutes in an
oven that has been preheated to
450° open this
[Music]
down it's wavy it's hard to car got to
be
careful there we
go this is what makes this pancake
different from the ones you might be
it's baked in an oven not fried in a pan
once your pancake is cooked and curled
you can serve it with different toppings
like maple syrup jelly honey or powdered
sugar cut it into squares to serve I
already have one that's
made
M that's finished for tastes
good get some powdered
sugar it's really good
here's a
simple
[Music]
you hello what would you like Miss do
you have Frog's legs why yes then hop
over there and fix me a
[Music]
[Music]
burger do you think we could pour the
water from this cup into this cup we
could if you could just go like
this but what if the cup always have to
be 2 ft apart Alicia C A Sheffield
Alabama sent us this challenge the only
material we can use besides our cells
and the cups is
string whichever team either Courtney
and me or Shing ying and estuardo is the
first to get the water from this
cup to the line of this cup is the
winner ready guys yeah all right all
right so all right how could we do this
we could use like we have to pour the
water somehow without physically
moving but if we somehow
like cut a hole at the top and we
knotted this and we knoted it to that
and we LIF to this exactly same about
just all right let's try adhesion is the
ability of molecules to stick together
yeah so so how can we get the water to
stick
today well since M want to stick
together maybe we should soak it and
then try what we were thinking of
before so if we tie this
here oh we still have to make sure that
the string is 2 ft long will that
stick no it's it's not doesn't look like
it's sliding either I would think it
would just drain right into
it
oh little a little higher drops go go
little
drops
[Music]
that did work I don't think that's going
to work I think you needed higher so
that it'll slide down faster oh these
aren't making it into the cup oh is your
hand in the way I think so um just let
it um oh how can we do it without
getting your hand in the way
though perfect if it was all the way St
see how it stops here because then it
started going level if if we put this
cup down all the way down to this whole
thing in the street and we did the exact
same thing it probably works so
see no tilt the cup so it's like that
yeah all right oh we've got some
coming oh I feel it I can feel it keep
on pulling that's a good speed yay it's
working oh my gosh it's working this is
so good no it's not
don't go any
faster look at it look at it is it
coming yeah it doesn't when you go
really slow like that you can see the
water you can see the water like
speeding down it's like repelling up
it's not even like on it's just going
right past it's like using it as a water
slide yeah I
know that's really
cool just keep just keep let do it
flow
want to try to fill the whole cup
actually might not be a bad
idea that's really cool we're almost
there you done yeah I think we're done
oh wow I think we got it we definitely
have more oh my goodness do you guys
want to come up and see ours oh sure
okay here's what we did we cut a hole on
both sides and then we put the string
through both and then put knots on both
sides and then we like k*lled the drop
on a diagonal and then we slowly kind of
really slowly poured it cup and so we
thought of like adhesion you know how it
can seure different molecules and so
this way as he adhesive to the water so
when you tied the knots was the string
um dry or was it wet well it was dry at
first but it didn't work as well so we
wet it so we kind of stuck it in the
thing of water work oh here's the scoop
on why this works water molecules have a
strong attraction to other water
molecules this means that they stick
together really well this is called
cohesion water can also stick to other
materials like string this is called
adhesion that is why when we pour the
water down the string except to the
water molecules on the string and the
string you can see this in action next
time you're taking a shower stick out
your arm and all the water that falls on
your hand will go under your hand and
drip down your arm this is because the
water is sticking to your arm and to the
other water here's another cool thing
you can do with water and string using
two strings instead of one you can make
a water Bridge okay this is a little
like
going oh that is so cool wow it's like a
waterfall almost it's going definitely
it's going straight down it's like wow
it goes real fast too yeah it definitely
goes faster you can you can also sort of
see like little Stripes that's neat yeah
keep watching because later in the show
we're going to have a water string
[Music]

Zoom reviews
books Olivia K of Seattle Washington
sent us a review of the book called my
father's dragon by Ruth Styles ganet
here's what Olivia wrote the book starts
when a boy named Elmer meets an alley
cat the cat tells him about a baby
dragon who needs help Elmer decides to
travel to the island where the dragon is
trapped and helps him Escape Elmer takes
a backpack full of stuff like chewing
Comm and hair ribbons to help him on his
journey he uses these things to trick
the animals who won't let the dragon go
there are two other books in this series
and I really like them all they are
called Elmer and the dragon and the
dragons of blueland you will really
enjoy reading these books you know you
could have a lot of fun reading to a
younger brother or sister I share
stories with my younger brother all the
time give it a
[Music]
try
[Music]
action I'm Kelsey I'm Angela and we're
members of the Zoom
team we volunteered by raising money for
a homeless shelter and an animal shelter
we did this by holding a swimon at our
school and asking people to pledge money
for every lap that we swam at first we
thought it would just be the two of us
but then the whole Orca swim team got
involved and together we were able to
raise
$1,400 do you volunteer in your
community if you do you're already a
member of the Zoom team we want to hear
all about it send your story along with
any photos or videos to this address
remember the little things you do can
sometimes make a big difference zoom
into action and join the Doom
team
[Music]
now that we know how to use string to
transfer water we're going to have a
race to see who can get their water from
this side of the
room all the way to this side the first
chance to get their hand back is the
winner each team gets to choose the type
of string they want to help us make our
decision we get to experiment with
different types of string for a while
want to try the big one yeah defin might
be hard to
soak is it
who wow it's like very it's not
all this one
looks fishing L okay no way that one's
pretty good let's put on the maybe list
maybe list how's that working it's
working good
too
uh that was a lot though oh actually
that one was really
well yeah this one this one really works
this is going to be our pick hey string
in the water are you guys ready to race
y totally right okay let's do it
basically we chose our string because we
tried it out and it absorbed a lot of
water out of our cup and also it's not
Twisted it's not braided it's just it's
very smooth basically so the water can
just STM down the reason we chose ours
is well in our opinion it ran the
fastest and it had a lot of water
running through it and I think the
spirals and the braided helped us just
and it went real down so it was like the
opposite for us okay guys let's
start ring it
out can find okay guys Courtney let's go
to end s you got it okay you guys ready
now I was
ready who's going to say when I will I
guess keep keep your P down until she
hold the handle pull it make it
straight okay guys get your water ready
okay all right ready set
go oh
wow work I'm not feeling anything I need
to wait till you actually get go
down Mike are you it's not going it's
not going
this I don't feel anything oh it's
stopping I think it's
stopping
I don't think it's wet enough or
[Music]
something oh
whoops Mike
Mike got the jum I think no he didn't
come on
Mike no don't K it it was going oh I
found it I found it I found it wo got it
I got it good
job down there yeah it's definitely you
can see it woo awesome I sh was really
wet the white Rob worked a lot better
for a few reasons one of the reasons is
it's more tightly twined and this makes
it smoother and that makes it easier for
water to pass down the Rope as for
shinging in a spartos twine it was
twined and tied a lot looser which made
fibers hang off because of these fibers
the water had a difficult time traveling
down this rope what else could you do
using string to transport water could
you water the plants on your patio while
you're inside your house how about
catching the rain and sending it
somewhere useful like your dog's water
dish let us know what you come up with
by sending your ideas to
zoom me what to do you
