04x18 - Dinnertime Deadline

Post by bunniefuu »

How, what, where, why? What, where, why?
How, what, where, why? What, where, why?

Ada Twist, scientist
She's gonna find out what the answer is

Under here, over there

Science is everywhere you look

I'm Iggy Peck, architect

And I'm Rosie Revere, engineer

-Technology, that's me, Benny B.!
-A mystery, riddle, puzzle, or quest

There are wonders to discover
Hypotheses to test

-Science is the best!
-Ada Twist, scientist

I'm gonna find out what the answer is

Everywhere science is
She's forming a hypothesis

Connecting polka dots
This is scientist, Ada Twist!

"Dinnertime Deadline."

The sun's shining, the birds are singing.

They must be as excited as I am
to welcome our newest member!

-So exciting!
-Yeah!

Thanks. I can't wait
to get my first badge today.

We have to figure out what badge.
Secretary Rosie?

Thank you, Scout Leader Ada.

There's "Maths Magicians,"

"Treehouse Construction,"
"Digital Design,"

"Birdwatching…"

-So many choices. How will we choose?
-Random selection.

Knatokie, I don't wanna
pick a badge willy-nilly.

Think of it as a scientific version
of "eenie, meenie, miney, mo."

Scientists use it so things
get a fair chance of being chosen.

We are Science Scouts.

I programmed Calypso
to bark and do a trick

if he hears "Science Scout."

We can get the
"Creative Problem-Solving" badge.

-I have so many ideas.
-Awesome.

-Can I get help with the shopping?
-Yeah!

Tomatoes, onions, peppers, cheese…

These are ingredients
my mum uses to make Poppy's Party Pot,

a delicious soup
that feeds a gazillion people.

Great observation,
but I don't think dough goes in soup.

Wait, dough plus tomatoes,
plus cheese, plus veggies, equals--

Pizza!

You've got stuff for approximately…
a ton of pizzas!

You must be making dinner
for the Community Kitchen.

What's that?

A place that gives meals to people
who don't have food or who need it.

Mum makes dinner once a month.
Our community looks out for each other.

It's the best! I'm thankful for it.
My family and I have eaten there.

Sounds like it helps tons of people.

Including our friends.

-Oops!
-Yikes!

-I got it!
-Got one!

Come here, tomato.

Looks like Mum needs us.

What do you say
we help make pizza, Scouts?

-Yeah!
-You got it!

Is that okay, Benny? You wanted to get
your Creative Problem-Solving badge.

I did. But Dad and Glam-Ma say
helping makes the world a better place.

I'm all about that and helping my friends.

You kids are something.

Let's get to work.
We've got a dinnertime deadline.

Do you need a sous chef?
I have experience in mum's kitchen.

I could definitely use an assistant.
You're hired.

I won't let you down.

We have just enough time
to prep the dough, top the pizzas,

and cook them
at 200 degrees for 20 minutes.

You heard the boss!

Oh! I think the power went out.

-Oh no!
-I'll call the electric company.

Hopefully, I'll get through fast.

You are caller number two… hundred.

What? This might take a while.
I'll let you know when I get answers.

The Community Kitchen needs our help.

Without power, we'll miss the deadline.

Maybe we can find another way
to cook the pizzas with science.

Right. We need to think
outside the pizza box.

Let's brainstorm.

Brainstorm, brainstorm!
Throw in every thought you had

No idea is ever bad
Brainstorm, brainstorm!

Gather up your friends, try to find
The how, the what, the why, brainstorm!

Let our imaginations
Become great new creations

When we brainstorm, brainstorm!
Brainstorm, brainstorm! Hey!

Got it. We use dragon breath
to cook the pizzas.

I've always wanted
to study a dragon up close.

But dragon breath smells
and can stink up the pizzas.

Ew!

How about we fly to Hawaii and wait
for the Mauna Loa volcano to erupt?

We can use the hot lava to cook.
It's the largest active volcano on Earth.

Just one problem.

That volcano hasn't erupted
in over 35 years.

-We don't know how long we'd have to wait.
-Aw.

We use a giant magnifying glass
to use the sun's heat to cook the pizzas.

Giant magnifying glasses
are hard to control.

The heat beam could miss
and slice through your house.

Oops.

An idea's downloading.

We use the heat from the sun
to make a solar oven.

Solar energy is better for the planet.
There's tons of sun today.

Wait. You guys think the sun is
powerful enough to cook food?

-No way.
-Way! I'm a nerd for all things sunshine.

-I know a girl who made a solar oven.
-I'm that girl.

I made one at camp
and had marshmallows for days.

Hot diggity dog!
I've always wanted to build a solar oven.

I've always wanted to design one.
What do we need?

It's easy. Aluminium foil, plastic wrap,
newspaper, and two different-sized boxes.

Presenting the Sun Roaster!

Amazing.

I don't get how this thing
is supposed to cook anything.

This plastic window
lets sunlight into the box.

There's black construction paper.
Black soaks up heat.

That makes the air in the box really hot.

Foil helps send
the sun's rays to the food.

The newspaper helps trap the heat inside,
so it can make sun-sational pizza.

Bad news. A power line's down,
so we'll have no power until tomorrow.

That's okay. We'll bake
the pizzas in a solar oven.

Great idea, Science Scouts!

Thanks, Calypso.

I'll get the first pizza.

Come get me when it's ready.
I'll make lemonade.

Mrs. Twist said each pizza
takes 20 minutes. I'll set my timer.

Does time move slower when you're waiting?

Great question.
I'll add that to The Why Files.

Pizza's ready.

-Fab!
-Oh, yeah!

I've eaten a lot of pizzas in my day,

and that does not look ready.

The dough isn't golden brown.
It's not done.

We can't serve half-cooked pizza.

I guess cooking with the sun was
just a beautiful, impossible dream.

But the sun can cook food. I've seen it.

So, why didn't it work this time?
You know what this is…

A mystery, riddle, puzzle, or quest

When I don't know the answer
To a question or query, why, why, why?

My curiosity leads to discovery

Why, why, why, why?

-We're ready to go, the g*ng's all here
-Another adventure with the Questioneers

-Don't know what we'll find
-But it's fun to try

That's why I ask why!

I'm stumped. The heat from the sun
should have cooked the pizza.

The heat.
We forgot to check the oven temperature.

Mum said we needed to cook at 200 degrees.

Let's see how hot our oven is.

The thermometer shows
the oven is 120 degrees.

Way lower than pizza needs.

No way we'll make them all
before the sun goes down.

We can't make dinner
for the Community Kitchen? System fail.

These ingredients will go to waste,
which is terrible.

-Lots of people could use the food.
-Alie's right.

-I wish dough cooked as fast as veggies.
-That's it!

What if we made my mum's soup?

It uses the same vegetables
and should finish cooking.

Great idea,
but isn't it too hot for hot soup?

Eating hot food on a warm day
can make you sweat. That cools your body.

Let's try it.

I just need to call Chef--
my mum, and get the recipe.

Got it. Thanks for the recipe.
See you later.

Okay, team, order's up.

Soup coming through on your left.

Your other left.

Smells delicious! Want a taste, Rosie?

Mm! It's fab-tastic!

-Nailed it!
-Hooray!

I can't believe it worked!
I guess the sun is that powerful.

Sorry I doubted you.

I love that we helped our neighbours,
even if we didn't get a badge.

Hold the tech phone, as you say.
Or is it "smartwatch"?

-Hold the smartphone?
-That. I have something for you.

You have all earned
the Creative Problem-Solving badge

for using creative thinking
to solve our problem. Congratulations.

-We like helping.
-Awesome!

My first badge! Yes!

And making dinner was next-level awesome!
I love being a Science Scout.

Here you go. And for you.

Enjoy it.

You're welcome.

That soup hit the spot.

How did you make a meal with no power?

We used the sun.

Holy smokes, the sun can cook food?
Now I've heard everything.

My stomach is full, and I'm tickled pink.
Thank you all so much.

You're welcome.

I'm happy the power outage
didn't stop us helping.

Me too! I can cook up some fresh beats.

My solar panels are ready
to heat this party up.

Jam mode, activate!

Oh yeah!

Oh yeah!

-Woohoo!
-Oh yeah!
