zomo cool beads huh they're made from
potatoes they're really easy to make
thanks to Brandy h of Fairfield
California for sending us
directions first peel your potato we
have something already peeled take a
bread knife and cut your potato into
Cube shaped slices all
right they smell good if you're not
allowed to use the knife at home make
sure you ask an adult for help okay then
take your
beads and cut out like the corners of
the cubees so they make the bead more
round but we're just going to leave the
square all right so now you can take
your cubes and play them on a Winden
skewer I it's easier if you press them
maybe on The Cutting Board and then use
your fingers to pull it in it might be
safer that way too yeah the skew is kind
of sharp so
yep all
right
yeah these are skewers out to dry in a
dry area for about 2 days the potatoes
will shrivel up and become hot they will
also shink we have some already Dy so
I'm going to paint my paint all right I
think I'm going to paint mine
orange I never knew you can make bead
from poas it's so neat might not want to
make them as small as you want them cuz
they will shrink so yep they can just
make a little bigger when your paint
dries you can slowly take your beads off
your skewer like that you can make
anything you want like maybe a
necklace an anklet a bracelet or a
keychain it's your pick and remember if
you want the directions for this
activity check out the zoom website at
pbskids.org so cool and now it's time
for Jim and
Judy oh no Jim what
happened I broke my arm raking leaves
what how do you break your arm raking
leaves how do you think I fell out of
the
[Music]
tree
[Music]
[Music]
hi I'm Banna I'm Britney hey I'm n we go
to Adel Elementary School in Baltimore
mury and we're working together to fix
up our school yard this is Mr Matt he's
our nature volunteer we're working with
him to improve our schoolyard that's
right together we're going to turn this
schoolyard into a habitat that will
attract more Wildlife like birds and
butterflies and maybe we can even get
our school yard certified by the
National Wildlife Federation as a
certifi school y
haveit that means we'll be recognized as
one of over 2,000 schools across the
country that are helping to attack
Wildlife but it's going to take a lot of
work you got to do this
yeah let's do it all right so now we
have to assess our habitat now that our
habitat is in place we assessed the
schoolyard prior to this and we only got
about nine points for this area out of
20 which is not very good right so we're
going to see if we uh now can get more
points on our habitat assessment survey
okay all right so what kind of food
sources do we now offer here in this
habitat we got seeds seeds Okay that
birds will eat and the other insects
that the birds leave other insects on
the ground yeah um we got the ne be they
eat NE and the butterflies they eat that
St right so we have quite a bit now
right so let's give ourselves five
points for that what kind of water
source do we have now we have the bir B
and then we have the pudle dish for the
butterflies right they use the moisture
there okay so that's two sources of
water three points for that okay which
is great cuz we had zero points before
all right shelter what sources of
shelter do we have here in our habitat
we got the bur box the bur box okay
that's one bushes there bushes that'll
provide cover for both the birds and the
butterflies M we got trees some trees so
that'll provide a lot of cover for a lot
of different animals all right fantastic
so that's three more animals let's give
ourselves the five points for that now
the last component of habitat is space
we obviously have some space here for
some animals have we seen insects at
this site yes yes definitely we had our
bees and our butterflies and we've seen
our birds fly all around yeah okay do do
we have enough space here for like a
deer or a large animal like that no not
quite all right so we're not going to
give ourselves the top number of points
but we'll take three points for this all
right so let's add up our points we have
five points for food three for water
three for water okay five for shelter
and three for space three for space for
a grand total of 16 16 16 out of 20 all
right how did we do we did better than
we did the first time fantastic much
better than nine points
congratulations now that our habit is
improved we're going to see if we can
get it certified by the National
Wildlife
Federation this is Mr jome he's from
National Wildlife
ped hopefully he's going to certify our
Wildlife
hit Brianna tell me about what this
puddling dish is for um it gives
nutrients and minerals for the
butterflies we made a bird B because we
wanted the um Birds to have something to
drink we put the Box in so the birds
won't
drown so I noticed you have Holes In The
Floor Of The Birdhouse why are there
holes so when it rain the W can dra
through the battle now how long did it
take for you all to to get to this point
in your project was it something like a
month or 6 weeks or how long has this
taken maybe like 6 weeks about 6 weeks
what are your hopes for the future once
you leave the school then what happens
other kids can come out here and do
research on butterfly and bird this is
going to be used for children to learn
the life cycle of a butterfly this is a
great schoolyard habitat you have
shelter with your bird boxes you've got
a water source with your bird bath and
you created a great place to attract
butterflies with your butterfly dish
you've got plenty of food with the
nectar and the nut
and what's most important is is that you
created a space by cleaning up an area
behind your school and I'm hoping that
students all over the country can see
what you have done and do this at their
schools so I want to congratulate you
all on a great job you have worked very
very hard and because of that the
National Wildlife Federation would like
to certify edgew Elementary as our
2,149 schoolyard habitat you have done a
fantastic ftic job and we're very very
proud of you
congratulations I'm really happy with
the was the Habit that came out it took
a lot of hard work but it came out even
better than I thought it would now this
can be like a legacy when we leave the
school and other kids will take care of
it I hope you enjoy that project

paper over so no one can see what you
wrote then pass your paper to the next
