butresses the see it works oh my gosh oh

Paul you are great now let's get this

straight I you really is tough are fr

funding for Zoom is provided by the

Foundation stand by contributions to

your PBS station from viewers like you

thanks

hi this is lboro elementary school and

we're in Lanesboro

Massachusetts get ready

count so that means our winners are

the great game you have guys

[Music]

Zeno hey guys check out this cool book

that L of Brit New Jersey sent us she

sent us pictures and instructions on how

to make shaving cream paper it's all

over this book that must have taken her

so long to make I know she even cut out

the zoom letters zoomo very good

ell oh she cut it out to make hearts see

this is her a it's cute okay and it says

W she even took her time to make a book

that's great Ellie she says okay she

says supplies and then she says step one

put some saving cream into a disposable

baking tin all right all right we got

our shaving cream uh-oh uh-oh okay next

smooth the shaving cream with the

cardboard piece of cardboard all right

okay kind of like you're um doing the

frosting on yeah like you're frosting on

tape exactly all right love that smell

not a shaver yet but I love

this all right drop some drops of liquid

water color or or food color coloring

onto the shaving cream what color you

think you want to use let's use red

yellow and blue cuz it like the primary

color red yellow and blue all right we

mix red and yellow we get orange that

would be blue we get purple

and one make sure you do it like

different places

[Music]

though and this

red all right what's next and then she

says stir the colors around the fork all

right oh you can say you can make swirls

stripes or checkerboard pattern okay so

let's you say what do you say we do how

like like wavy all

right you probably shouldn't mix it too

much cuz it'll get all stupid it'll get

all muddy

looking and don't go too deep cuz then

the shaving cream will come to the top

and you mostly have white okay that good

that's cool looking already we're not

even done all right place a piece of

paper on top of that shaving cream okay

all right

nice and then gently press down until

you can see the pattern coming through I

see it oh I'm starting to see it just a

little cool not too much don't press too

hard though then too much shaving cream

will get under the paper okay okay and

ever so gently peel off the

paper wow that's so

cool check that

out so cool can't wait to see what it

looks like when the St thing place the

paper shaving cream up on a flat surface

all right let's move out of the way so

we can use I'll use that and I'll move

off the shaving

cream scrape the shaving cream off the

paper using a piece of cardboard all

right you can take that side okay don't

go too hard yeah so don't want the Dy

yeah just the shaving cream that looks

so awesome

W oh I really don't like that sound oh

like nail on a chalkboard yeah s chills

up my

B

wow look at that she must taken a really

long time to make that book that's

awesome that's devotion right there and

then she says put it somewhere to dry so

how about we put it right here all right

all right and we can make more by

repeating the steps you want to make

some more absolutely okay let's try like

different patterns this time okay so get

the TR add some more shaving cream onto

it so we can cover up the other yeah

cover up the old ones

yeah what different things could you do

using shaving cream paper go to the zoom

website at PBF kids.org and let us know

this is awesome right now I got smooth

right smooth it out

[Music]

[Music]

a flashlight comes in handy on a camping

trip during a power outage or if you're

on a deserted island but what if you

don't have a

flashlight well Tana from M of

Massachusetts challenged us to make our

own homemade flashlight but she didn't

tell us exactly what materials we needed

so we're going to take apart these store

flashlights to try to help us figure it

out if you screw up the cat oh you can

even see right there that there's a bulb

right at the top and then on the back

side the back yeah in the back you can

see that it connects all the things

together so why I just dump that out put

that down all right oh there's two

batteries two batteries and the positive

side which has the Lum connects to the

negative side of the other battery which

doesn't have big LP the big lump on top

and inside it you can see there's metal

wire there and there's also a little

metal stick in there and that's connect

to the switch yes and the switch is sort

of like the brain of the operation

because when it's flicked up it touches

the metal part of the bulb which is

connected to the bulb and it lets the

electricity run through yep and it turns

on the light so Som have the wire must

touch the two batteries which will touch

the middle rod and when you flip the

switch up turns the light on so that's

kind of like the circuit all right let's

go to the drawing board so what type of

container yeah yeah well I think one

most similar to that would be a toilet

paper tube yeah cuz that's kind of

similar to this bottom part right here

how do you think we would get this

little Arch it kind of goes out we could

cut a strip of cardboard yeah and then

it works all right we might have have to

put a circle underneath it too so

nothing falls out all right yeah so

that's filled

in what do you want as the reflective

surface up here oh plastic glass that's

good one cuz this isn't exactly glass

this is easy to T yeah it's kind of like

that's plastic I think also you need a

reflective surface and the light can go

off in all directions we could probably

even use like tin foil or alumin of foil

lining in there cuz that would reflect

the light even better yep and then

inside we're going to need two batteries

as our power

source and then how about the wire

though how are we going to connect I

don't know just lumz you can do a big

like lump of it head and then also about

the bulb what if made a little hole and

stck it there hole right there and have

the bulb come up here and then the

switch I mean it has to connect the when

you move it up yeah it has to connect

something to the aluminum foil at the

bottom and to the metal part of the

light bulb at the top maybe if we went

like this so there's a paper clip like

that and there was a big piece of

aluminum foil like that that connects to

connect to the bottom when you pull it

up it tightens right up and a piece up

here connects to the foil up top so it

goes up and down down and up okay that's

TR so we're going to go gather the

materials that we think we need and keep

watching cuz later in the show we're

going to try to build a flashlight that

actually

works hey

[Music]

y who W that Zombie Race uh I don't know

it was dead even oh

[Music]

yeah hi I'm I'm C and I'm camping just a

few miles from where I live here at the

base of the grand ton the reason I'm

camping is because I want to get an

early start rock climbing today cuz

that's what we're going to do ready

let's go today I'm going to climb one of

the Rock Springs buttresses it's

basically a big rock Bas but first we

have to hike up to it which is still a

lot of fun I've always lived in

mountains I was born in a great Mountain

place and then I moved to the Himalayas

for 2 years and now I live here it's

fantastic hi part is also a lot of fun I

like to look at all the animals and the

wild flowers and it's always changing

especially this time of year the wild

flowers are

[Music]

great this is where the fun po begins

we're going to do the actual climbing

here with the

Rope you need some gear for climbing

first the helmet which is probably the

most important your head safe second

shoes these are special rubber shoes

that stick under the rock very well and

harness to keep you in the Rope so you

don't fall this is the chalk it helps

your hand stay dry when when they get

sweaty so you don't slip off the rock

safety is important so my dad's got off

above me so if I slip um he'll catch me

with the Rope you could call that bay

he's my safety guy now before you start

climbing you always say am I on ble

you're on playet that's what he says

inur then I start

climbing climbing

[Music]

[Music]

I think I might grab onto this

but then I'm having a problem with my

feet too your feet are more important

than your hands people usually think

that you always pull up with your hands

you usually push up with your feet more

than you pull up with your

[Music]

hands that's on a rock Dad yeah can you

give me some slet St on a little mu

there I got

[Music]

it I think I can do

[Music]

it made it made it to the top

[Music]

I like at the top because the view is so

nice and I can see everything down there

and then when I get to the bottom I can

tell everyone that I climbed up to here

and I think that's just really cool

climbing mountains is a lot of fun but

going down is a real

glass ready to

lower

[Music]

bye hey Kyle

yes when's a basketball player like a

baby when when he

dribbles

[Music]

basketball earlier in the show we took

apart a flashlight to help us design our

own homemade flashlight then we gathered

the materials that we thought we'd need

and now we're ready to start building

cool so the flow of electricity will go

through this aluminum foil at the base

and through this Rod of aluminum foil

through the battery through the next

battery up into the metal part of the

bulb down through this Rod of aluminum

foil through the paper clip through this

strand of aluminum foil and then back

around and around again and that it'll

turn on the light but if the switch is

pulled down that piece of an aluminum

foil is going to disconnect the circuit

because it's not going to be connected

to this at the top but when it's pulled

up it's connected and the light goes on

all right let's try to build okay which

one of these two tooths do you want to

use I think this one is really small

cuz these already take up the entire

roll I don't I think this one I think

this one's a bit too long too B cut

it measure it

yeah okay

so about this cardboard I think maybe it

would be too hard to what if we just use

these little cups all right cuz fits

perfectly yeah it does fit perfectly all

right so do you want me to line one of

them with aluminum foil so it can

reflect off this

light do you want to put tape around it

so

they around the outside around the

outside I got here

y so now we have the reflective part how

do we put the bulb in there we have to

put a hole at the bottom okay so but

just stick it all the way in rotate it

but if it's too bite fall out

true that work oh beautiful all right

that came out really well so now we have

to we forgot to put the plastic WP on

the top so let's

just all right

let's no let's tape it

[Music]

again oh just made it oh boy all right

is it do you think it'll matter though

if the top isn't exactly flat I think

it'll be all right okay all right top

but we also need to have a base so I

think we should cut out a piece of

cardboard just cut it then what we need

what do we need to do next I'll tape

some aluminum foil onto it go like

that oh that's nice should we add the

foil this little lump thing right here

yeah we we can make that little

roll and have a

connect okay right here yeah we need

tape okay okay so this is our base but

how are we get if the battery's on top

of it it's going to squash it isn't it

well yeah but if we tape it and it'll

still be connected oh it doesn't matter

I understand yep take that

on which side the negative

right lump three

side then look now even if it does go

like it's always going to be connected

yep okay just as good let's just see if

the see if it works all right so we have

to those are connected now I have to

bring this

up from down

there

oops is it on yeah it's on oh it's

working but there be light there isn't

much of it but it's working yeah that's

cool but now we need to make the switch

how you do

that so then that's attached to the

paper and this is on the other side this

is going to be on the other side here

connect this to the

top okay you know what I just really

realized is that it'd be so much more

efficient if we had this paperclip

connect to this

end instead of of the tin foil instead

of having this try to connect to there

so we could probably take that this end

of the tin foil up here and when you

pull up the switch it touches that okay

compl the circuit take that then all

right so one we with two batteries try

this this would be crazy if this work oh

oh oh my gosh it's a cor

brigher wow how did that happen that's

awesome that's

crazy okay we need to somehow make this

at the perfect length so we want this to

be short enough so that when we Jam this

in it's going to connect right to the

end of the battery so let just here at

the little white line C right at the

white

line right that should be all

right all perfect ready Let's Jam

it Jam yes yes yes all right can you

help me out can you hold that wait are

you sure it works before you tape

it try it right there Ready set

go okay

ready oh

yes all right we get the lights

flashlight on off on off on off on off

all all

right when the switch is turned on it

makes a complete circuit electricity

travels through the battery the wires

and the bulb and the light turns on when

the switch is off the circuit is broken

and electricity can't flow to light the

bulb what other kind of tools could you

make could you rig up a doorbell on your

bedroom door whatever your idea is try

them out and send them tov

I volunteer by collecting cans and

bottles and then donating the money to

help the Homer the first thing I do is

collect all the recyclables in our house

stuff like detergent bottles soda can

and the dec and then I rinse them out

with water next everything gets stored

in a big plastic garbage bag then about

once a month my parents help me take

everything down to the store where they

give us 5 cents for every Canon bottle

we return return I make about $6 a month

which I keep in a money box then once

I've saved up about $20 I give it to the

Goodwill because they help the homeless

in my neighborhood do you volunteer in

your community if you do you're already
