up during the summer it would either

make my bed or make homes for the

homeless if I could invent a machine it

would go back and forth in time and it

would take me around the world if I

could invent anything I would invent a

tool for artists so that they could have

everything including paint brushes paint

charcoal and pencils if I could invent a

machine I would create a shuttle which

could go light speed and we would be

M welcome to Cafe Zoom today I'm going

to show you how to make homemade peanut

butter cups this idea was emailed to us

by aen m of Spring Hill here's what

you'll need semi sweet chocolate

chips smooth peanut butter and a mini

muffin tin lined with muffin

wrappers first m 1 and 1/2 cups of semi

sweet chocolate chips in a microwave

safe bowl for 1 minute stopping every 15

seconds to stir the chocolate around

then spoon some of the chocolate into

the bottom of each

[Music]

cup it's okay to use your fingers just

be careful that the chocolate isn't too

hot and be sure that you wash your hands

before you do

[Music]

this

ah I love to smell of chocolate when it

just came out of the oven or the

microwave

[Music]

I'm going to do these three but I'll do

the rest

[Music]

later

okay

next put some of the peanut butter on

top of the chocolate in the

[Music]

cups

[Music]

creamy

[Music]

okay can't wait to see how these turn

[Music]

out

melted

[Music]

chocolate

it's a little too much I'm not going to

use all of

it

yeah

[Music]

chocolate this looks really

[Music]

good make sure you spread it all around

the peanut butter so that covers

it okay then stick them in in the

refrigerator so that think can

[Music]

my name is Max and I'm 10 years old and

I work at the

[Music]

circus my dad is the ring master and

founder of the circus my mom is the

equestrian or horse trainer my sister

she rides elephants and she's an acrobat

my brother works with my mom and the

horses in the show this year and he

works with Tito the pony I work with a

miniature horse some people might think

he's a pony but no he's a full grown

horse the best part about being in the

circus is performing because it's fun I

get to do new

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

things

in the show this year I ride an elephant

named Ned he's 10 years old and weighs

about 4

tons elephants have really rough skin

and they're really hairy the first time

I rode him it was pretty scary but I've

gotten comfortable with

it the school that I go to is called the

One Ring

Schoolhouse it's a red trailer with a

traveling teacher and we do normal

subjects like any other school would

being I'm a small school we get a lot of

individual attention and the grades R

from 3rd to 12th

grade many performers that come from all

over the world from Europe Australia

Asia we have a lot of people from

[Music]

[Applause]

Russia a lot of kids might think that

circus children are different other than

the circus and the job that we do we're

not that different we live in a normal

house which of course has wheels we go

to a normal school and have normal

friends being in the circus takes a lot

of hard work and practice it's fun cuz

not everybody gets to ride an elephant

[Music]

again dear Zoom this is a project we did

in school it's very fun you need to

design a bungee jump ride for an egg the

egg cannot break break or hit the ground

your Rider must come within 2 in of the

floor without touching the floor you

might want to practice first with the

plastic egg in order to get it right

Rachel K of Champagne Illinois okay you

guys ready yeah right we need to make it

so this plastic egg is the same weight

as this egg to try it out pennies yeah

it's ready you put some pennies in

that's right and I'll be the

scale in more here let go of it couple

more

that's good so if you just lower it in

wait what's that one this one's not oh

it's so pretty I know

that let's try it put try to put it

inside and we can we can put a rubber

band on it too then we'll stretch it

okay yeah say okay how much do you think

to go down here how long do you think it

would have to be halfway cuz it depends

on how stretches cuz if we make it as

long as this and we drop it it'll

stretch and go way below and the Egg

will break so you have to figure out how

long it should be oh wow that's a really

good point just stretch it cuz these

things stretch now keep on going walk

walking walking

walk count to 20 one 2 3 4 five six s

yeah that's that's I me let's try it let

see how it stretches

too yeah that's really good here should

I go up to the top and here and I'm just

going to I'm just going to see how long

this is okay ready I'm just going to

hand it to you all right

ready get the

ruler and it's going to go a little

farther when we drop it I think because

like I guess I don't know so pretty

think they trying to escape well that's

like 2 in more than whaty one two

three wa that was good that was like one

in it went below good job so now you

guys have to put the

real hey guys get out of the

way oh yay did it do it y it went right

it went around one and a

half now it's time to put the real egg

in when we put this in we can just put

take this foot of a stocking and put it

around it so it's more padding on the

egg anyway take this egg put it in

here okay that's good now he has Extra

Protection you want to put like a rubber

band right there sure good luck you guys

thanks thank you oh I'm so nervous ready

if it cracks it's going to

Splatter

did it do it no it's too

short it worked last time oh it was

heavier last time you've got the coins

on one side and the egg on the other

we're hoping it

go if coin support the

egg that was too short so ours are both

too short so let's need more weight see

so maybe we have to add some quarters or

pennies yeah that's what I

meant all of them

don't let's see how like just keep

adding them and we'll see how much they

W need more a little more drop it drop

it oh oh oh okay

go did it do it it went right to 2 in

that is

[Music]

perfect Okie do okay oh be careful so

zoomerang hi my name is Laura McMullan

and I invented the screw stick I love

playing Lacross but I hate bring my

stick on the bus because it's too big to

fit in my

backpack so I made a acrostic be able to

screw

apart into four separate

pieces to be able to fit into my

backpack to make my invention I first

took my brother's old acros stick and

cut it into these four pieces and then I

took a plastic PVC which is a piping and

glued it into the hollow center

then I took a metal screw and screwed it

into the PVC last I took this elastic

and threaded it down the center so you

won't lose your pieces when it's apart

so now it will fit right into my

[Music]

backpack here's a cool trick from

Tiffany D of Lancaster Texas you need a

partner to do it okay Caroline put your

hands into Fist and hold your pointer

fingers up like that okay now I'm going

to start pedaling my hands around the

side of yours for about 30 seconds so

keep your fingers

relaxed and watch what's going to

happen they're

moving
