[Music]

hi I'm Laura from Hot Springs Wyoming

what's up in Yellowstone National Park

Yellowstone was the country's first

national park and was establishing in

1872 almost 3 million people come here

every year

Yellowstone Park covers almost 2 and A4

million Acres within the boundaries of

this park there's miles of rivers Acres

of laks and over 200 waterfalls

Yellowstone has almost 10,000 thermal

features in four different kinds geysers

Hot Springs feral or seam Vents and mud

pots there are over 300 geysers in

Yellowstone

Old Faithful is known for how faithful

it is it goes off every 90 minutes and

almost everyone who comes to the park

sees it Old Faithful shoots up an

average of 130 ft and even go as high as

180 ft this beautiful hot spring behind

me is called grand prismatic many people

would think it's a swimming pool but if

you went swimming in there you would be

fried to a Cris the beautiful colors

come from bacteria which live in the

very hot

temperatures this is a herd of Elk elk

are the only land mammals in North

America that have Ivory right

here the American Bison is a symbol of

the West is the largest mammal in the

park they are bigger than a bear and

heavier than a

moose this is a big b Bon swallowing in

the dust to keep the bugs off

I've lived here all my life in

Yellowstone National

Park I like living in Yellowstone

because I can always learn about plants

or

animals there's always new things to

[Music]

learn if you get a chance you really

should come to Yellowstone I'm sure the

wildlife would be glad to meet you

[Music]

bye Mandy M of new Liberia Louisiana

send us the recipe for Jungle bars we

also like to call these Zoo energy bars

because there's a lot of fruit and nuts

in this recipe and it's a really Healy

way to get energy they're also better

for you than the candy bar so you're

going to need two bananas

okay all right so you Cho this one up

now chop this one up all right peel them

first

though let's see

so all

right but they're really messy actually

yeah you're going to get really messy

while making this once you done that add

one cup of chopped dried figs

they look weird yeah I've never seen

this before until now at

least then you're going to add one cup

of chopped dried apricots

yum oh cool and then add one cup of chop

pitted dat I've never seen dates

before that's some cool

stuff probably want to like shake them

around as you go yeah get I'll mix

together yeah and then you add one cup

of

raisins oops then add two cups of

granilla okay then you add one cup of

chopped toasted

almonds

good it's like a mountain then add 2

tbsp of almond butter or peanut butter

almond butter and peanut butter are

really kind of the same thing things

taste a bit different but they'll both

work kind of looks like P butter I know

it does I think this will help the bars

to stick together yeah

probably and last but not least

add some coconut that's all like

shredded shredded coconut one cup all

righty Co like snow I that I that is so

cool snow on the

mountain all righty now you want to mix

everything together really

well look at this is it hard it is kind

of hold the bowl all

right you're stabbing it to like so the

banana split up little you probably

should do that good point bananas are

really big and you don't stab it to get

as many bananas as you could you want to

try okay all

right wao that is hard is that hard all

right well it's really hard to mix so we

just on the 30 right yep all

right here we go that looks much better

okay

then you press your mixture into a 13x9

baking pan all right we have here here

we

go it's all

sticky it's hard to get out probably

going to you want to try

little yeah just take it with your hand

wash your hands before you make this

definitely okay now we want to press it

in yep there we go a spatula yep

doesn't do much though look at this like

just rubbing

it okay so you know I'm think I'm just

going to use my hands for a little while

all right you really want to get in all

the corners and press it down really

really

hard all right

there make sure you get all the corners

really really press it down all right

now you want to cover your pan

in BL

scrap oh you okay yeah I'm

fine all right

I'll hold

it all righty now now you want to

refrigerate overnight to allow flavors

to blend together there we

go got

it there we

go

okay then cut your mixture into squares

this makes about 48 junle bars right

here oh yeah yum taste time

M so good thanks Mandy thank you Mandy

really good

[Music]

mhm if you were stranded on a deserted

island and wanted to get off and back to

civilization a WFT could really come in

handy so we've decided to take on a

challenge sent To Us by Jessica from

Oceanside California to build what she

calls a surviv driving raft Jessica says

our raft has to be sted enough to carry

supplies like food and water we can use

any of these materials to build our raft

then we're going to test out our raft in

this

ocean I was thinking you know how we

have these cups and have you ever tried

like if for your bath or in a sink when

you put a cup down into water the air

stays on top of it like yeah the air

wants to push it up yeah so it floats M

and so I was thinking like what if we

attached cups onto plywood want to try

that yeah that s like good idea I cleans

out so we're going to have a piece of

plywood on the top so here like that

would be the plywood M and then the cups

would be like all yeah they' all be next

to each other we have to make sure it's

even though because like if you were to

put Like Potatoes on it then one side

would be going over exactly so we and we

have to distribute the we evenly like

since we have two jugs and one back of

potatoes we could put like a jug on this

side a jug on that side potato in the

middle yeah you guys want to try those

this okay sure let's work on it see so

how many people what do we want to use

just one I think okay so put it like

that all right so which cups do you want

to use which ones do you think would

work let's go test out each kind of cup

so let's take one paper cup and one of

these I'll take a plastic cup cuz we

have these two those look like they all

right so let's see let see ready I'll

put this one in okay I'll put this one

in

ready Let's See How They floor on the

top is the paper one is the paper one

getting soggy no it's getting good I

think it has like a wax coating yeah all

right so up all right so oh that kind of

tip the plastic is not well you could

like it's going to stay sturdy though

cuz we'll have um PW on top of it let's

look at styrofoam cuz it seems like the

sturdiest kind of yeah how how do you

want to space it out we have to make

sure that there's like equal amount of

Cups on the side what if we like set

them up around the perimeter and then we

can put more in if we want to yeah we

should leave a little like space on the

edges though yeah okay all right let's

do this you guys want to test it sure

put down okay it's probably not going to

work yet because we don't we yeah let's

just see if it will make sure you don't

like tip it though we have to put it

right down in the

water get

ruined no it works yeah it down oh

that's so cool hey you guys want to try

to put the I think more we can just put

on put it in the middle though don't try

to it worked oh my go you guys are kind

of when we have to put both of them down

at once watch out don't put put them

down

three oh

no okay Abandoned Ship someone get that

side Okay jump

sh okay that was pretty good for the

first time yeah it definitely works with

potatoes yeah over there okay so that

was really good yeah it was that was

awesome so I guess the cup idea works

huh yep I'm pretty sure it's going to

work now all right so now let's put some

more cups in the middle oh that kind of

garbage bag in the middle and that'll be

like that extra support oh yeah we try

that try that sure definitely yeah okay

so here we go again our potatoes might

get wet yeah we don't want wet potatoes

I like I prefer M get the

other hope we

survive o Rocky that's not going to work

let's see let's try it well all oh it's

up on that side we got to put put put

put it further on that end and then

we'll put it closer in here all right so

put it closer that hey it

works good job guys yeah it work good

job guys nice cool so why do you think

the raft didn't sink that's because it's

buoyant here's what that means when we

put our RS in the water it started to

sink pushing the water away from it kind

of like it made a hole in the water

the raft stopped sinking when the weight

of the water pushed out of the way was

equal to the weight of the raft with

everything on it when the raft stopped

sinking there was still some rat above

the surface of the water that's what it

means to float okay ready let's H her in

keep watching cuz later in the show

we're going to see if our WRA still

floats when I get on top of it no

don't and now it's time for Jim and

Judy oh one ticket please Judy that's

the third ticket you bought in 5 minutes

I know and each time I try to get

through the door some dummy ripped it in

[Music]

[Applause]

half Zoom game

this is a clapping game I like to play

called slide so narina and I are going

to play it first then we're going to

slow it down and show you how to play

Ready

slide two one two two 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3

okay so this is how you play first you

hold your hand so that your palms are

facing each other then slide your hand

along your partner's hand then clap take

your right hand and slap it against your

partner's right hand then you clap then

you take your left hand and slap it

against your partner's left hand then

you clap then you take the backs of your

hand and slap it against your partner's

back hand then you turn your hand around

and slap your palms together then you

clap now you're going to do this again

except this time you do everything twice

then you do it again except this time do

everything three times and so on all

right now you could keep going faster

and faster to see how high you can go

until you mess up

so want to do that yeah so let's start

off slow though look my fingers first

okay ready oh don't do that okay ready

slide one one one two one two one two

one two 3 1 2 3 1 2

3 1 2 1 2 three four 1

2 1 2 three four 5 1 2

1 2 3 5 1 2

[Applause]

3 we volunteered by collecting toys for

children in Iraq since our classmates's

father is stationed there we've been

writing letters to lots of soldiers one

day we got the idea to send toys that

the soldier could give out to the AR k

when we found out the soldiers like the

idea we got started first we found a big

basket and then each of us brought in

toys that we weren't using anymore

little by little the basket started to

pull up we were able to collect over 300

toys our teacher calls this an act of

kindness but we just knew we wanted to

do something nice do you volunteer in

your community if you do you already

remember the team we want to hear all

about it send in your story along with

any photos or videos to to this address

remember the small things you do can add

up to make a big

difference and join the Zoom

team hope we survive earlier in the show

we built a WFT that's St enough to

support two gallons of water and a stack

of potatoes about 21 lb hey it works

wooho

guys now we want to see if our WRA will

hold three times that amount about the

weight of

Taylor as you can see it's kind of

sinking yeah it's starting to S so if we

were to put you on this Taylor it it

would not not hold you you cuz this is

just 21 lbs we've got some repairing to

do so right pretty much well the airs

out of the back maybe that's what part I

was thinking cuz hair is all o the bag

is full water I guess we got to scratch

that idea so I guess

I mean I don't think we really need a

new trash

bag balloons the same though yeah

[Music]

balloons so now do we want bons on the

edges here do you want to test it out

first us and see if we actually need

them sure we might not okay so let's see

I think in this case You' only need four

instead of more than just four yeah yeah

all right let's do this come on R for me

yeah look at that go all the only

problem is it could be a little lopsided

do you want to try to float the these

yeah oh four one water jug weighs about

8 lb so if you had four it'd be 32 lb

yep so about half my

weight we need one more in this

side yeah it doesn't even look going

down so that's

good want try try it let's try

it okay ready Let's help her in all so

but try I think you should sit in the

middle try to balance yourself you

should lay across find

B thank you n that

helps oh no no

don't I got it get

get we just got to make it more sturdy

yeah like like the tape keeps coming off

so maybe when we wrap it all the way

around it be more secure like look at

that it's so wet yeah yeah so maybe we

have like backup tape or something and

balloons on the edges like we said

before go under we keep saying we're

going to do that we never do it we never

do it I say we put duct tape all around

the raft okay let's do it all

right okay so we got the balloons on the

corners now you got guys want to try it

out

definitely okay me too

wa this isn't a pizza

delivery you want to be safe with your

pizza too though you got a couple

balloons some okay we stay I'll a little

bit oh that's much better okay ready

yeah it looks better do no it looks good

so we might try t on it now ready Taylor

oh bring it back yep safety of our

children and Taylor mostly me mostly

Taylor okay okay look

it's perfect doesn't even s good job

guys if you want to build a raft like

ours at home make sure you get your

parents permission you can also build a

smaller W like one that holds your soap

and sponge while you're taking a bath or

one that hold your soda while you're

lounging in a pool this is so cool
