Xavier: Hi! And
welcome to the show!

Today we're going to
meet someone incredible.

Isaac Newton!

Brad: He was born in
England in the year .

And became one of the
greatest scientists ever!

Yadina: Scientists are people

who try to answer
questions like:

How come apples fall
when you drop them?

Brad: (gasps)
I was going to eat that!

Brad: Whoo!

(crunch)

Or how does the sun
come up in the morning?

Xavier: Or how come a
rainbow looks so colourful?

Brad: Wow.

Yadina: Do scientists
also figure out

how we start the show?

Xavier: Nah. I've got
that one covered!

Brad: Welcome to the
wonderful world of mini-golf!

Xavier: This is
pretty cool, Brad!

We've never played
mini-golf before.

Yadina: Speak for yourself,

Dr. Zoom is a time
world turtle champ.

Brad: Mini-golf is great.

Brad...Just put your ball
here, aim for the hole...

and...

Brad: Woo! That is
called a hole-in-one.

Xavier: I have
totally got this.

I'm just gotta line
it up and pop it in.

(plink, plonk, plink)

Yadina: What do you call that?

Brad: Uh... Hitting
the ball too hard..

Xavier: I'll be right back...

Woah, look at that!

Yadina: Xavier- I
got a hole-in-three!

Brad: Did you find your ball?

Xavier: Yup. And
something even better.

Let's do this hole next!

Brad: Okay, but
this one's tricky.

You have to slow down and

Xavier: Hey! Did you see that?

The windmill cheated!

Brad: That's what I was
trying to tell you!

You have to hit the ball
at just the right time

or the windmill will block it.

Xavier: Oh. Ok! No problem.

Xavier: C'mon!

Maybe (whack) (whack)

(clinking)

(struggling)

Windmill!

Ugh!

Xavier: Guys, I think
this hole is impossible.

Brad: It helps if you slow down.

This is how you do it.

Yadina: Whoa. That
was amazing, Brad!

Xavier: Yeah! I
want to try again.

Watch this!

(whack, whack)

Ok, if I'm ever going to
get past this windmill,

I need to call in
the big help--

To the secret museum!

Xavier: I wonder who the Secret
Museum will send us to meet?

--Wahooo.

Yadina: Or how far back
in time we'll go-ooo.

I'm going to find
some stairs- wah.

Yadina: Look out below
All: (cheering)

Xavier: Hi, Berby!
Yadina: Hi, Berby!

Berby: Hello.
Brad: Hi, Berby!

Brad: Oof.

Xavier: (happy humming)

We're getting something...

Xavier: Oh geeze.
Another windmill?!

Brad: Isaac Newton.

That's who we're going to meet.

Yadina: And that's where
we're going to meet him.

In England. In the year...

?

That's over years ago!
...Oh boy

Xavier: Well, hopefully
Isaac Newton can help me

with my mini-golf game.

Yadina: Only one
way to find out...

Xavier: Ready for adventure?

Yadina: Ready!

(deep breath)
Sorta ready.

Berby: Whoohooo!
(bleep, blarp)

Yadina: Here we go!

Brad: It's happening!
Yadina: Hang on Dr zoom!

Xavier: Woo hoo!

Brad: Wooooah!

Berby: (laughing)

Brad: Oof!

Xavier: So this is England.

Boy: Oof!

Yadina: Hey, look. Maybe
one of them is Isaac Newton.

(bleep, buzz, bleep, buzz)

Xavier: Or, not.

Brad: What are they doing?

Xavier: They're having a
long jump competition!

To see who can
jump the furthest.

Isaac Newton: Actually, it's
just practice right now.

The competition
is this afternoon.

My turn!

Xavier: Hey, that's
Isaac Newton.

Issac Newton: (Oof!)

Yadina: Looks like he needs
as much help at long jump

as you do at mini golf.

Newton: Hm. My long jump wasn't
nearly as long as theirs...

Xavier: That's ok,
just try again.

And this time jump
faster and harder!

Newton: Thanks, but,
I need to slow down

and think through
this problem...

Xavier: Um... How does thinking
help you jump farther?

Newton: When I slow down
and think through problems,

I usually come up
with a solution.

Let me show you!

Let's go to my thinking tree.

Newton: Hm... those
boys are bigger than me.

Can I jump further than them?

And, if I can, how do I do it?

Brad: Wow. He is really good
at slowing down and thinking!

Yadina: We should get our
own thinking tree, Xavier!

...Xavier?

Xavier: Oh, you have
got to be kidding me!

Xavier: Windmills!
Why do you haunt me so?

Yadina: Whoa! That's a windmill?

I had no idea they
were real. Or so big!

Newton: Oh yes.
Windmills are very big

and very interesting!

The wind turns the blades

and they turn a big wheel inside

that grinds up wheat.

Newton: The stronger
the wind is,

the faster the blades move. See?

Kids: (coughing)

Xavier: Amazing
Yadina: Ahh!

Leaves! Eww I got
one in my mouth.

Newton: Hm... the
windmill spun faster,

then the wind hit us.

Interesting.

I want to think about that...

Xavier: Don't you want
to practice jumping?

Newton: Not yet.

Right now I need my secret
w*apon: My thinking kite!

Yadina: Wow!

A thinking tree
and thinking kites?

Brad: He must really
love thinking.

(laughs)

Xavier: Isaac, c'mon!

You'll never get your
kite up by standing still!

Newton: Hm... last time
the windmill spun faster,

and then the wind hit us.

Will it be the same this time?

And if so, will the wind be
strong enough to fly my kite?

(whoosh, whoosh,
whoosh, whooshy)

Brad: --Whoa!
Yadina: Brad!

Xavier: Woaah!

Newton: Interesting...

(deep breathing)

Yadina: That was
some serious wind.

Newton: Guys?
The wind is coming back.

Brad: How do you know that?

Newton: The windmill told me.

Kids: The windmill told you?!

Newton: Yes!

See how its blades are starting
to spin faster and faster?

That means a strong wind
is coming in--

Newton: ... ... ...
Wind!

Xavier: Woah
Yadina: (gasp) Dr. Zoom!

Newton: See how the
wind lifts and moves things?

Like the windmill's blades,

the kites, and now Dr. Zoom?

Xavier: Yeah...

Yadina: Gotcha, Dr. Zoom!

Newton: Well, if
it can move those,

maybe it can move me, too!

There's only one
way to find out.

Yadina: Whoa! That's
the furthest one yet!

Newton: Now, it's my turn.

Xavier: Do you think Isaac
Newton can jump that far too?

Newton: Slow down.

Isaac Newton ...And think...

... ... ...

Wind!

Brad: Go go go go!

Newton: Oof!

Newton: I did it? Yes!
Kids: (cheering)

Xavier: Woohoo!
Yadina: You did it!

Xavier: Isaac Newton slowed down

and thought through his problem.

He figured out that the wind
could help him jump, and that

the windmill could tell him
when the wind was coming...

Xavier: Isaac Newton
you are a genius!

Now, I think I need to
get back to minigolf.

And my own windmill. Bye Issac!

Issac: Goodbye.

Brad: See ya later.
Yadina: Thank you!

Xavier: Berby? Let's go home.

Xavier: You don't scare
me, Mister windmill.

I have Isaac Newton on my side!

Xavier: Slow down...

Xavier...And think...

... ... ....
... ... ....

... ... ... Go!

Brad: Go go go, Xavier!

Xavier: I did it! I did it!
Yadina: You did it,
Xavier did it!

Hole in one!

Take that, windmill!

Thank you, Isaac Newton!

Yadina: Woo hoo!

Kids: (humming)

Xavier: It was so cool
meeting Isaac Newton,

who was a super smart guy.

Yadina: And when he grew up,

he came up with some
super smart ideas.

Brad: Like the
theory of gravity!

Which explains how things

like apples

fall to the ground--

Brad: Phew.

Xavier: Isaac Newton
also discovered

The Laws of Motion,

which explain how
lots of things work.

Including how the sun
comes up in the morning!

Yadina: And he wrote a
whole book explaining how

all the colours of the
rainbow really work!

Colourful!

Xavier: Thanks for joining
our awesome adventure

to meet Isaac Newton.

Brad: Who used to be a
kid, just like you and me.

Yadina: So kids like you
can change the world!

I am Yadina.

Brad: I am Brad.

Xavier: I am Xavier.

And I will always slow down

and think through problems.

Just like Isaac Newton!



Berby: (bleep, blarp, bloop)

Doo doo doo do do...

Berby: (bleep, blarp, bloop)

(bonk)

(bonk, bonk)

(ding)

Berby: Yay!

Yadina: Hi Berby. You ready
for hide and seek?

, ,

, ,

, ...

- - - !

Hiding in the butterfly
conservatory huh?

Dr. Zoom, did you know
there are twenty thousand

different kinds of butterflies?

Where could you be?

Aha!

Hmmm...

Oh Berby? Where are you?

Ooh, Scarlet Peacock
butterflies!

My! What big beautiful
wings you all have!

All the butter to fly with!
Yadina/Berby: (laugh)

Get it? Butter to fly with!

Yadina: Butterfly!
(laughing)

Aha! Gotcha Berby!

Thanks for exploring the
museum with me, Berby.

Everything is more fun
when we do it together.

Yadina: Hi! Welcome to the show!

Today we're meeting someone
amazing: Golda Meir.

She loved solving problems.

Xavier: She was also Jewish,

and grew up to be the
Prime Minister of Israel!

Yadina: Being the
Prime Minister means

she was the leader
of the whole country.

Brad: And Israel wasn't
even a country yet,

when Golda Meir was born.

Xavier: Hey Yadina,
maybe you can grow up

to be the Prime Minister of a
country that doesn't exist yet.

Yadina: Hmmm...

(gasps)
Turtle-topia!

It would be a turtle-y
awesome place.

Perfect for Dr. Zoom.

Full of warm rocks
and cool ponds--

--and turtle food as
far as the eye can see!

Brad: Um. Maybe we
should start the show...

Xavier: Good idea.

Brad: (panting heavily)

Yadina: Race you
to that big rock!

Xavier: You're on!

Yadina: WAIT!

Yadina: Look, a turtle!

Brad: What's it doing here?

Yadina: She's crossing
the bike path.

Xavier: You can do
it, little turtle.

Brad: Slow and steady
wins the race.

(bicycle bell rings)

Rider: (laughing)

Yadina: (gasps)
Excuse me!

Slow down, please!

(screech)

Yadina: You have to slow down.

Don't you know there are
turtles crossing here?

Trike Kid: Huh?
Yadina: Not Dr. Zoom.

That one!

Trike Kid: Oh, uh ok.

I'll be more careful.

Yadina: Thank you. And keep
looking out for turtles!

Phew! That was a close one.

Yadina: (gasps)
Another turtle!

And there could be more coming.

If people aren't careful,

there could be a
turtle-tricycle tragedy!

Xavier: Hm. There must be a way
to tell people to be careful...

Yadina: Hmm...There is!

I, Yadina, guardian
of turtles everywhere,

will become--

--A turtle crossing guard!

Brad: ...a what?

Yadina: A turtle crossing guard!

I'll stand right here

and make sure all the
turtles cross safely.

No matter how long it takes.

Brad: This could be awhile...

Xavier: Um, Yadina?
I know you want to help,

but you can't stay here all day.

Yadina: (sigh)

But I have to do something!

Wait, I've got it--
to the secret museum!

Brad: For the turtles!

Xavier: Great idea!

Yadina: You wait right there

and don't cross until
I come back, okay?

Yadina: Be back soon!

Xavier: I wonder who the Secret
Museum will send us to meet?

Yadina: And where we'll go?

Brad: And when?

-woah!

Yadina: Look out below!
All: (cheering)

Xavier: Hi, Berby!
Yadina: Hi, Berby!

Berby: Hello.
Brad: Hi, Berby!

Berby: (bleep, blarp)

Brad: (oof!)

Xavier: (happy humming)
Berby: Wooo!

We're getting something!

Yadina: What is it?
Xavier: It's a poster!

For "The American
Young Sisters' Society"

Yadina: Ooh! Maybe these
sisters will take turns

as turtle crossing guards!

Brad: Look, Golda Meir.

That's who we're going to meet!

Yadina: In Milwaukee.

That's a city in
the United States.

Brad: And we're going
to the year .

That's over years ago!

Yadina: I hope Golda Meir can
help me help the turtles.

Xavier: Only one
way to find out...

Xavier: Ready for adventure?

Yadina: Ready!

Brad: (deep breath)
Ready.

Berby: (computing sounds)

Berby: Yippie!
Yadina: Here we go!

Berby: (computing noises)

Xavier: It's happening!

Yadina: Hand on Dr. Zoom!
Xavier: Woohoo!

Brad: Woooah!

Berby: (computing noises)

Yadina: So this is
Milwaukee in .

(bell ringing)

Xavier: There's Golda Meir!

Berby: Mhm!

Yadina: Hi! I'm Yadina.

This is my big brother Xavier

and our friend Brad!

And this is Dr. Zoom.

How much do you love turtles?

Golda Meir: (chuckles)
Um, a little... I guess?

Regina: Thanks for
waiting, Goldie.

I had to stay after class again.

Regina: I didn't do my homework.

Xavier: Uh oh.
Brad: Yikes.

Golda: But it's not her fault!

Regina doesn't
have any textbooks.

Xavier: But how can
you do your homework

if you don't have any books?

Golda: That's what I said!

But lots of families
can't afford books

and the school can't
pay for all of them.

I don't know what to do.

Yadina: I hear you.

The turtles need
crossing guards

and I don't know
what to do either!

Golda: It's not right
that some people,

or turtles, don't have
what they need!

Yadina/Xavier: Yeah!

Brad: But these
are big problems.

Like grown-up big problems.

What can we do?

Golda: To Mom's grocery store!

I think better with snacks.

Yadina: Good idea!

Bard: Awesome!
Xavier: Ooh! I love snacks!

Golda's Mom:
Welcome home, bubbalah!

Oh! And you brought friends!

Golda: Hi Mom!

Can we get some snacks?

Golda's Mom: Of course.
They're in the back.

Yadina: Oh! Thank you!

Dr. Zoom was feeling
a little peckish.

Golda's Mom: Wow.
So this Zoom of yours

is a turtle and a doctor?

Yadina: And a superhero.

Xavier: Hmmm.

Golda's Mom: Oh my!
You kids were hungry.

Regina: We've got a big problem.

Golda's Mom: So the snacks
are for thinking, I get it.

What's this problem?

Golda: There are a
bunch of kids at our school

who can't afford text books.

Golda's Mom: Really?
I had no idea

so many kids were without books!

(sighs)
Terrible.

Let me know if I can help.

Golda: Thanks, Mom.
Yadina: Thank you!

Xavier: Thanks for
all the snacks!

(door chimes ringing)

Yadina: So, what can we do?

Xavier: Maybe everyone
can share the books?

Regina: Or write
out copies by hand!

Brad: That would take an
extremely long time.

Yadina: What if we saw
the books into pieces?

Then everybody gets a
little bit of book!

Xavier: I'm not sure
that'll work...

Mom: I had no idea so many
kids were without books...

let me know if I can help...

Meir: That's it!

Yadina: No, Xavier's right.

We're not allowed to use saws.

Golda: No, not that.

My mother had no idea
there was a problem.

But now that she knows,
she's willing to help.

Maybe if we tell more
people about the problem,

we can all solve it together.

Xavier: Oh yeah,
that's a great idea!

Golda: The American
Young Sisters Society

will tell the whole
neighborhood!

Regina: The American Young
Sister's Society? What's that?

Golda: A club I just made up!

Brad: That's just like the
poster from the Secret Museum.

Golda: Our mission is to tell
people about big problems.

So we can solve them together.

Are you with me?

Xavier: Yeah
Brad: Yes!

Yadina: I'm in!
Golda: Great!

Then let's go.

Golda: All the kids at
school should have books...

But right now they don't.

We're going to have a meeting

to let everyone know
about this problem...

So we can solve it together!

Yadina: Whoa...
Brad: This is amazing!

Xavier: So many people came!

Golda: Yes. But now comes
the most important part...

Yadina: (hushed yell)
You can do it, Golda!

Golda: Welcome everyone to

the American Young Sisters'
Society fundraiser.

Golda: Everyone should
have a chance to learn

but there are kids at our school

who don't have the
textbooks they need.

Golda: We called this
meeting because we knew

that if you understood
the problem

you would help.

Crowd: (cheering)
Yadina/Xavier: Yes!

Yadina: Wow.
Golda Meir had a problem,

told people about it,

and now they're
solving it together!

Brad: I am so
inspired right now!

Yadina: Me too!

We have to get back home and
tell people about the turtles.

Xavier/Yadina/Brad:
Good Bye, Golda! Thank you!

Golda: (hushed) Goodbye guys.

Okay, here's what
we need to do next...

Yadina: Berby, let's go home.

Berby: (computing sounds)

Brad: Watch out for turtles!

Xavier: Turtle
crossing! Be careful!

Yadina: Turtles are
crossing this path

to lay their eggs on land,

but they need our
help to stay safe...

Park Ranger: Hi,
you must be Yadina.

Thanks for calling
the ranger station

and telling us
about the turtles.

Yadina: Happy to help!

We have a problem,

but I knew if I told
people about it,

we could solve it together!

Park Ranger: I
couldn't agree more.

That's why I brought this...

Park Ranger: Now everyone
coming down the path,

will know to slow down and
look out for turtles.

Like that one!

Brad: You did it.
Xavier: Nice work, Yadina.

Yadina: This is awesome!
The turtles are safe

and I don't have to
live in the park.

Dr. Zoom demands a
certain level of comfort.

Yadina: Meeting
Golda Meir was so amazing!

And her fund-raiser
really worked.

She got all the money
she needed for books

and helped a lot of kids.

Brad: And she went
on to help her community

for the rest of her life.

Xavier: When she grew up,
she became a teacher,

then she helped Israel
become a country,

and then became
its Prime Minister!

Yadina: Golda Meir was the
third woman in the whole world

to be the leader of a country.

She's toootally my hero.

Brad: Thanks for joining
our awesome adventure

to meet Golda Meir.

Xavier: Who used to be a
kid just like you and me!

Yadina: So kids like you
can change the world!

Brad: I am Brad.

Xavier: I am Xavier.

Yadina: I am Yadina and
I will always tell people

when there's a problem,

so we can solve it together.

Just like Golda Meir!
