[Music]

[Music]

it's time to play come on captain bulla

let's welcome the day

where's that cedar ready to go

whizzy and wig are good to go

beakers

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

mission control it's fun to learn

[Music]

it's fun to learn

[Music]

space there are all kinds of things out

here chunks of ice ba*ls of gas

like giant soccer playing sock puppets

i

dark truder master of mischief sultan of

sneakiness

i will now reveal the most devious

device ever created

a gravity-grabbing planetary pulling

galaxy gobbling world weapon universe

reverser

what went wrong

you built it that's my guess and it

looks like you made it out of all the

wrong minerals trudy if you don't use

the right minerals for the job things

don't work right traxie you've given me

an idea forget reversing the universe

i've got a bigger better and even more

villainous scheme quick teach me

everything you know about minerals it's

all right here in this book

[Music]

hey could you move over a little bit

excuse me oh i wish there was more space

in here

zeter i need to check the control panel

under all your rocket parts do you have

to work on the panel right now i do if

you want the turbo jets upgraded there's

no room in the hangar and moto is using

my desk for his rock sorry i need to

sort and group the minerals in these

rocks and there's not enough space in my

lab perhaps we should think about making

headquarters bigger yeah

we could make some great changes while

we're at it i'd like to switch the old

copper wiring in these panels to new

fiber optics made from quartz i'd like a

mica tile floor

i've always wanted calcite stone

planters for my greenhouse we want a

giant iron magnet for our room so we

never have to pick up our stuff

[Music]

a gold statue of you um okay well that's

an idea

quartz mica calcite iron gold the same

minerals that are in these rocks the key

is making things from the right minerals

what exactly are minerals anyway let's

check the multopedia

[Music]

minerals on natural non-living

substances formed in the earth a mineral

always has a crystalline structure that

means it's atoms the tiny bits that make

up all matter are locked in the same

pattern repeated over and over again all

rocks are made up of minerals you can

think of a rock as being like a loaf of

raisin nut bread

this loaf of bread may look simple from

the outside but it's made out of lots of

different ingredients raisins nuts flour

yeast and just like a loaf of bread a

rock is made of different ingredients

and those ingredients are minerals

minerals have been studied for thousands

of years

most of earth is made of minerals as are

other moons and planets

and scientists have come up with many

ways to tell one mineral from another

they're called a minerals properties

one way is by its color

another way is by how shiny it is that's

called its luster or whether you can see

through it or even how hard it is

minerals make up many of the things we

use every single day for instance the

mineral fell spar

is one of the ingredients of cement

which is used to pave sidewalks iron is

used to make steel which holds up

buildings

tim from cassiderite is in tin cans

chromium can be used to make rockets

talc is in talcum powder the list goes

on

wow

minerals are all around us

hey i wonder if we can learn to identify

minerals let's use our field guide and

try it

see traxie it's just a matter of mixing

up a few minerals

now this tin will go to a manufacturer

who thinks he's getting

iron where do i come up with this stuff

switching mica with talc

i'm so rotten

feldspar with diamonds

chromium with zinc in a few days zulu

will start to crumble before our eyes am

i good or what i vote for what now it's

on to step two

this mineral is a shiny silvery color i

think it is silver but let's check its

hardness

[Music]

it doesn't scratch then it's not silver

and silver is soft enough to scratch

maybe it's titanium

come in

yes it's true it's me the one and only

trudy tarzay host of the popular

television show your home looks bad i'm

here to help you redo this place and all

the latest most fabulous materials so

for my tv special shabby homes of heroes

i will transform this tacky home into a

beautiful darjee creation

and at no charge

wow really

okay

let's work some magic people

oh

beautiful look what she did it looks

brand new

[Music]

[Applause]

this is an emergency there's terrible

trouble in zoolopoulos nothing is

working like it's supposed to

cars are falling apart playgrounds are

melting

sidewalks are sprouting sharp points

houses are shaking like gelatin this is

a job for the zuma patrol

our spaceship is hurting like a kitten

this new chromium hole really makes a

difference

uh

okay this kitten sounds a little weird

does anyone else feel something

yes

i don't understand the ship should be

even stronger now that it's made of

chromium we'll worry about that later

right now we need to find out what's

going on in zoopoulos

oh dear i can tell you one thing that's

going on

thanks to me this bank vault was built

with tin instead of iron all i needed

was a can opener yeah i'd hold on to it

if i were you you're gonna need it to

get out of jail the good guys are here

that's nice i wonder if i have time for

a nap

[Music]

strange truder isn't running away great

he'll be easier to catch

the ships

[Applause]

out for a spin

enjoy it

i have the only things on zula that work

anymore

how do we save zoolopolis from truder

with a wobbly ship

[Music]

ah

how odd this chalk has little pieces of

metal in it

if i'm not mistaken they look like

copper

what is this this floor isn't like a

tile

it's a powdery talc hmm

something very strange is going on here

something very strange is going on

everywhere we examined a piece that

melted off the ship it's not chromium

it's zinc no wonder it was melting zinc

is very soft and it melts at a much

lower temperature than chromium oh my it

seems all the new minerals here and on

the ship are wrong

that must be what's happening all over

zula wait a minute

all our new phony minerals came from

trudy darzay

i thought i recognized her spaceship

trudy dartha is dark rotor of course

this is so like him all right so now our

ship is made of zinc maybe zinc has some

property we can use

i know high luster which means it's

shiny let's get some rags we have a lot

of polishing to do

[Music]

oh my they really should build these toy

stores better

now let's go get me that choo-choo

doctr give yourself up try and stop me

in your jellymobile

[Music]

[Applause]

great job team that ought to keep trudy

busy for a while at least long enough

for us to straighten out all the

mixed-up minerals on zula

they keep our ship in flight

you've got to use them right

when you know just what each one can do

you can build a house a rocket and

computer too

you'll find them inside rocks

they make our cars and clocks

use them wrong and nothing will work

right

wobbly shaky jerky break you what a

silly fight

so even though their home and ship were

made of the wrong stuff the zulu

patrollers were made of the right stuff

hello mineral maven and welcome to the

malto moment

testy do you know where minerals come

from sure

cereal boxes vitamins too

actually most minerals come from rocks

minerals are non-living naturally

occurring substances with a crystalline

structure

when something is crystalline it means

that it's atoms are locked in the same

pattern over and over again

all rocks are made up of one or more

minerals and each mineral has properties

to help us identify it such as color

hardness and luster how about

squeakiness my cousin is a mirror and he

squeaks

oh my

well we'll see you next time bye bye

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

it's time to play come on captain bulla

let's welcome the day

where's that cedar ready to go

whizzy and wig are good to go

beakers

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

mission control it's fun to learn

[Music]

it's fun to learn

[Music]

it's a beautiful day in space or it

could be night it's kind of hard to tell

you know it's really hard to plan your

day around here follow that speeder

zeter i'm on it time to rev up the zulu

messatronic giddy upper

[Music]

if that was a little too much giddy

upper can we do that again

ah i'm afraid not we fractured the giddy

uppers drive kabob and we lost the

speeder looks like we have just enough

power in the back of drive to get home

slowly

it's worse than i thought the giddy

upper crystal is shattered huh i'll call

the crystal repair center

your call is important to us please stay

on the line and have a crystal clear day

how come the giddyupper needs a crystal

what is a crystal anyhow let's check the

multimedia

[Music]

a crystal is a solid made up of tiny

neatly shaped bits of matter in a

repeating pattern

minerals all occur naturally as crystals

rocks are made of minerals does that

mean rocks are crystals yes but they're

not always crystals you can see

some rocks called geodes have space

inside them where crystals can grow

here's one like that

[Music]

they're so pretty

and they're even more special inside the

crystal let's take a closer look in a

crystal atom those the tiny bits that

make up all matter are locked together

in the same pattern over and over again

all through the crystal if you leave a

mineral alone to grow into its natural

shape without bumping into other

minerals or objects it will keep

following that same pattern as it grows

larger in other words it will grow into

a crystal it can happen in a geode or in

a cave or in any underground space

but not all crystals look the same

different minerals have different

patterns inside

other things can affect the crystal too

like temperature crystals have different

uses as well some rare crystals are cut

into gemstones for jewelry

and some crystals are so common you eat

them every day like salt or sugar and

some crystals are used

in radios

in cd players

and even in drill bits and we need a

crystal to fix the giddy upper i wonder

if boo looks still on hold

[Music]

you know this music's getting kind of

catchy

i never knew crystals were so important

no wonder we need one crystals are fun

to collect too take a look at my

collection whoa

this is so

cool she has garnet and fluorite and

calcite and quartz

and quartz

and

what

that's odd if they're all quartz why are

they different colors

i don't know i guess we're going to have

to steady crystal some more to find out

you can just hang strings in this

saturated sugar water and you can grow

your own crystals to study

now just wait a few days then you'll

have homegrown sugar crystals

crystals are us how may i help you we

have an emergency we need a crystal for

our giddy upper that'll be six to eight

weeks

there's no way to get it faster

let me handle this this is the doula

patrol we need that crystal to catch

villains and keep the universe safe

uh-huh

that'll be six to eight weeks

now what we're out of business until the

ship is fixed then we'll just have to

get a replacement crystal ourselves from

the crystal cavern

the crystal cavern

but i heard that's guarded by big toe

the biggest hairiest monster ever nah

i'm sure big toe is a big mess besides

we get to climb mount him azula how fun

is this

[Music]

this is a job for the zula patrol

oh

just as soon as i call it taxi

[Music]

oh

it's freezing i hope our experiment

won't get too cold

i still want to see our crystals grow

don't worry the cold and all this

shaking would normally affect your

crystals but i designed your backpacks

to keep them warm and secure

it's perfect weather for other kinds of

crystals snow crystals you might know

them as snowflakes

hey it makes a six-sided pattern just

like the quartz crystals every snowflake

has six sides you can count them

yourself if your snowflake doesn't melt

first

now let's look at an icicle

whoa

malto are you okay better than okay look

what i found

the entrance to the crystal cavern

hang on we'll be right down

hey

this place isn't spooky it's awesome and

look at all these crystals

let's see if any of them is the one we

need to fix our giddy upper

this is barrel it has six sides like

quartz

hey this one looks like a cube it has

four sides a perfect sample of pyrite i

see tourmaline dip night olivine

but now giddy upper crystals we'll just

have to go deeper

[Music]

whoa

did you hear that it sounded like

singing who would be singing in a cave

who else a rock band

cool

it's a crystal instrument

hey

these crystals must have formed in a way

that makes them vibrate when touched

making sound sparkling singing crystals

softly ringing see them twinkle hear the

crystal tinkle

watch your crystal grow see a shimmer

see it glow

see the many variations to be found

tap a crystal listen to its sound

[Music]

fluorite turmeric

[Music]

underground

[Music]

[Applause]

that definitely didn't come from any

crystal it must be

[Applause]

i suggest we study this further

from a distance good plan

[Music]

fascinating these crystals are glowing

oh i wish i had time to see you up

goodness that's it the crystal we need

for the giddy upper

[Applause]

oh

terribly sorry

don't you speak rorish i was saying

hello

well hello back and uh

[Music]

but what are you doing here we were

looking for a crystal that one we needed

to fix our giddy upper kabob oh dear it

so happens that's my very favorite

crystal it's yours

we didn't know it belonged to anyone are

there any others like this around we

really need one i'm afraid that's the

only one

i'd like to help do you have another

crystal you could trade for this one

we're sure to have something you like uh

maybe a quartz watch crystal yeah got a

million of them

how about a pencil the graphite inside

is in crystalline form

how about a gemstone food dish you can

eat your soup in style

i have so many it's embarrassing well

then i guess we're stuck

we're out of crystals except for our

homemade ones why how beautiful i've

never seen crystals like that before and

the matching set in different colors

these are rare you can even make them

yourself

look they came out different colors i

wonder why

now you'll transfer the giddy upper

crystal in fact i'll take it out for you

[Music]

there the crystals in place crush your

antennae and hope this works

great then let's blast off

let me just get my space goggles

yeah

i think i spilled grape juice purple

grape juice hey

that's why your crystals turn purple and

mine stayed clear you spilled grape

juice in your experiment that's

absolutely right

the same kind of crystals can look

different depending on what's in them

and the settings they grow in especially

messy backpacks hey

i think that's why quartz comes in so

many colors yeah they must have grown in

different conditions hey there's that

speeder let's get it buckle up everyone

the zulu patrol is back in action

[Music]

looks like someone could have used a

giddy upper crystal i'm sure he'll get

one in six to eight weeks

[Music]

it's time for the malto moment

we were just adding to zeta's collection

i've got a collection of potatoes shaped

like feet want to see it

ah maybe later this is zeta's collection

of crystals a crystal is a solid made of

neatly formed little bits of matter

they're locked in a pattern that repeats

again and again and again and again and

again

that's right but crystals aren't just

for looking at

they can be used in electronics or cut

into gemstones crystals like sugar and

salt can even be eaten could you pass

the thought please

i made my own crystals for ceta's

collection mojo oh

my

that's the thing about crystals they

grow on you

see you next time bye
