kelly oh of new orleans louisiana sent

in this phenom

did you know that if you rub a wet

finger on top of a glass with a stem it

will make music we thought we should try

it out

right what

a finger all right

hold it at the bottom

wow it's really loud

what if you put water into the glass

yeah what do you think will happen

i think we'll go lower because i think

that vibrations are kind of harder

like going through water and i think it

will go lower because

the vibration goes through air

and so it there's not going to be that

much like right now if i go like that

it's full of air and if you put water

air can't i don't think if there's not a

more it yeah and i don't think air can

go through water

okay ready just put a lid on this one

about there

halfway this way this one

and i'll do the last one all right

this one's almost full wait

almost to the top

all right okay

whoa

right now

finger

i'll try this one try that one

yeah that's a lot like yeah

you can just look you can even see some

of the vibrations in the water

look you can see the vibrations in this

one too can you yeah

that's high this is just a little water

so this should be high

i can't see any vibrations in this one

not enough water

oh wait i'm not holding ready let's try

you try that one and i'll try these two

this is so cool

hey try this whenever i go to a

restaurant again

so we were right

the one with no water was highest

and one full of water was lowest yep

cool

see if you can use different shade

glasses that have stems to make

different sounds if you come up with

something cool send it to zoom box 350

boston mass oh two one three four

yay okay cool

hey ray yeah lisa

how did the river hurt itself

i don't know it had a waterfall

my name is tyrell

i'm 13 years old

and i love to sing and write songs

i want to love you but i

don't know why everybody expresses

themselves in different ways and manners

and shapes and forms

and mine is singing in music

you will become

my school community prep

is having a talent show

and i've decided to do an original song

i have to persuade my cousin kenny to

come and do it with me he's a piano

player

oh

i'm just gonna put the whole summer

twice yeah

tuesday

hold up hold on i can't remember this

part hold on

you hit like the key way down there

i will give you the glory

i will

i think we all have to express ourselves

because we all have our own opinions and

emotions and

feelings and if you don't express

yourself then you're holding all these

things and you're bottling up inside of

you if they're like really happy

emotions you really don't want to keep

them inside you want to get them out and

you want to have fun with it

when i was about six years old i started

singing with the junior choir at my

church

gospel music in itself is to help your

spirit and your soul

gospel music is happy music

it's supposed to help people through

trials and tribulations things that

they're going through in daily life

every week people go to church to hear

gospel music because they want to feel

uplifted

if you love music

and you have a feeling that you want to

express yourself i encourage you to do

it and let it all just come out

what's up who is your favorite hero my

hero is my mom because she's raised me

and she takes care of me when i'm sick

i would say the police because they help

you every time that you are in trouble

or when you're hurt the ambulance comes

she um she has a problem with her legs

but she's really good about it and she's

always happy martin luther king jr

doesn't use super strength like superman

my hero is my mom and my dad because

they made me who i am today

zoom chat zoom chat zoom chat

dear zoom i like to talk with my friends

about a lot of things but one of my

favorite things to talk about is my

heroes i've got a question for you who

are your heroes what makes a real hero

why is your hero your hero and what

makes him or her so special

and i'm not talking about superheroes

with super powers and such

your friend judith why of woodridge new

jersey

my hero is

she was part of my family but she died

her name was karen

and she's my hero because she was like

she was really independent she like

spoke her mind and um she was a really

good person and i don't think that she

should have

passed away like that she did i'm sorry

well i can't say one of my heroes might

have been my teacher miss hearth i mean

she may not have been my favorite

teacher but like when

like she persisted until she got

where she wanted to be which was a

teacher who got to teach like

basically all the world and so and

that's really cool because like she uh

she had to go through a lot of obstacles

to get where she to where she wanted to

be and now she's there and

that makes her sort of a hero my mom and

dad are always there for me whenever i

need them you know i can always tell

them something and they'll help me out

they're always there for me so that

makes them my heroes and my friends like

my best friend she's always there for me

and she always like understands how i'm

feeling and stuff

sony that makes

me feel happy

and like makes my goal a lot bigger

because like the person i want to be

like

and

it just makes me want to reach to where

he is and it's really cool what's the

name will smith ah i like him

he's like

he makes my goal a lot bigger because it

just looks like it's so much fun to like

be him it's like

he's like right persisting to get to

where he is

two

um

it's a hero and heroin

my dad and my mom because um they're

always there for me

and if i want something they'll try it

they'll try to get it and even if they

don't get it i'm still happy

i love my parents so much

they try their best to do it and then

sometimes i feel bad

because

because sometimes i really want

something and they get it

and then then i feel bad because i made

them i made them get it like so bad i

think a hero could be somebody that you

like look up to like i kind of look up

to one of my brothers jeremy because he

like

persists and goes after things that he

wants and really doesn't stop until he

gets them and they also he is like i

wish i was like i know me too because

he's not one of those people who doesn't

think he can reach his dream he knows he

can do it

sandy r of newtonville massachusetts

nominated mrs benjamin's class at the

cabot school for today's zuma latte

after studying the natural habitat of a

park near their school they decided that

they wanted to do something to benefit

the park

so they made a brochure about the park's

history planted wildflowers and hung a

plaque at the park's entrance

good work guys you'll be receiving your

zumacum lining certificate in the mail

hey carolyn

hi jess

there were five men standing under one

umbrella

how come none of them got wet i don't

know because it wasn't raining

it's funny

justin b of burbank california sent us

this question

do plastic and glass bottles make the

same sound when you blow across their

top we thought we'd try and find out

all right let's try to blow on it

that's awesome now let's see if the

plastic bottle sounds the same

this one is this one's higher

they sound pretty much the same

it's cool

let's try water filling with water

to see if it changes any sound in it

let's use this one because this one's

kind of seeing better this one moves

around

okay

say now

no

that's good

let's see if they're equal

this one is a little more

that's a little higher okay so

like

now

much better perfect okay all right so

that's slow on this one

got higher

why do you think we got higher

because there's more water in it and

there's less space yeah i think there's

less space and there's no space for the

like the sound to be there to go yeah

let's try this one

that's awesome i don't know why that one

got higher

i think because

this gets slim right here

it's like it's thick down here we're

going to get slim up here and this one

it's like

it's like wide all the way up here and

just at the top it gets skinny

let's try to make it so that they sound

the same

so what do you think we should do

for

more water and to make the pitch higher

okay

tell me one

okay

um

still

some slower okay so let's put more water

in that one let's let's water out here

nope not yet

yep that sounds pretty cool

so we got the same let's see what the

water level is like now

a little bit less than an inch

more water than before

it's because this is wider and it has

more space to go in than this one

because this one's thinner and this one

has less space to go in

now it's time for you to experiment

think of a question that you want

answered like do different shaped

bottles make different sounds make a

prediction then test out your question

and send your reports to zoom
