was like
Challenger hey Francis yeah bud why did
the farmer call his Pig ink I don't know
because he kept running out of his pen
[Music]
want to see something cool watch
this
awesome looks like magic huh well this
trick is really easy to do at home Cassy
be of bplan Iowa sent us the
instructions all you need is some liquid
soap the kind you wash your dishes with
some pepper and a bowl of water oh yeah
and if you're going to do it more than
once then use a clean bowl of water okay
first sprinkle some pepper into the boat
of
water sprinkle sprinkle
sprinkle
now put a little bit of liquid soap on
your finger just a little bit like a
drop
careful there about maybe a little less
than this now lightly touch the top of
the water now Watch What Happens
cool well here's the science scoop
there's a force between the water
particles that holds the surface
together almost like skin this force is
called surface tension the water
particles pull on each other and the
pepper in all
directions but the so particles makes
this Force weaker on this side and so
the water pulls on the pepper to the
other side if it's true that the soap is
what makes the pepper PE move then
nothing should happen if I touch the
water with no soap on my finger let's
try
it shake shake shake pepper pepper pepp
shake shake
shake come on
shake and then don't forget no soap on
your fingers
either
ready see nothing
happened why don't you try this at home
and send your results to Z you got to
send us email send it to zoom

pbs.org hi my name is Andrea I'm 13
years old and I'm from the South
Carolina and this is my cool horse cool
Sunny Style
[Music]
ever since I was really young horses
have been my passion and riding cool as
a dream come true I feel like I have a
special connection with
[Music]
him one of the things that I like to do
to keep him relaxed and sing to him
actually I like to sing to him just
about all the time
hold on I'm getting cool ready for a
horse show tomorrow I'll be competing
with other riders in a bunch of
different events I want cool to look
beautiful so I'm going to give him a
bath I think he likes to be washed in
the summer because it cools them off
after I've
read and I use this regular shampoo that
humans would
[Music]
use yeah
[Music]
[Music]
yeah I braid his tail so that it won't
get dust in it and it won't get tangled
and so that it'll look pretty
tomorrow all right big boy we have a a
big show today and I know that you do
real well
just remember I'll always love you
[Music]
okay guys your competitions are fun
because I enjoy riding with other kids
we're judged on our form and style and
how well we keep our horses under
control can your horses
please we're cancering our hor right now
which is faster than a trot but slower
than a
Gallop when I'm approaching a jump I
need to keep my head up in order to keep
my
balance if I don't I might fall
off for
Andrea
Andrea although I like to repat my
favorite thing about riding is just
spending time with my cool
horse all right cool baby dog you did a
good job yes you
did yes you
did hey bud yeah Caroline what did the
paper say to the pencil I don't know
right on oh got it like right on
[Music]
Laura F of Flushing New York asked us to
use these eight strips of cardboard to
do lots of different puzzles our longest
strip is 8 in long and all the other
strips are 1 in smaller than the next so
we have a seven a six a five a four a
three a two and a 1 in strip for our
first challenge we'll have to all eight
of our strips to make two equal rows all
right so using all of the strips that we
have we have to make two equal rows yep
so that means each row would look like a
long rectangle right yeah all right so
how going to do this
um well we can use math to figure out
how many strips should be need throw oh
yeah when I just add the number of all
the inches together so we know exactly
how many inches we have in all the stret
all right so 7 + 8 is 15 + 5 is 20 + 10
6 and four that's 30 then 2 + 1 is 3 + 2
is 6 so we have 36 36 could we can cut
that in half right 18 + 18 is 3 yeah
since 8 + 7 is 15 we can make 18 but you
the 15 + 3 15 + 3 is 18 now these should
add up to 18 yeah let's + 4 is 10 15 16
17 18 so it works yeah so if we have
just like that's two that's two equal
rows yep so figure that one out let's
see if we can do it with three equal
rows three equal rows yeah three equal
rows using every one of the strips okay
I'm just going to mix around the
different pieces right now just see if
find
get something while trying to mix them
around these two are equal yeah they are
they're all 12 it's for SW yeah let's do
this try you did a buzz the first I was
just mixing around that that's that's
awesome 8 + 4 = 12 12 7 + 5 12 6 + 3 9 +
2 11 1 = 12 we did it that's awesome
that is awesome there any more
challenges yeah we have one more
challenge using all eight strips we have
to make a
staircase what that is yeah staircase
what that is all the strips I use this
hand you have to make it make all the
strips look like
this wow yeah but we have to follow a
certain pattern though you have to use
each each little strip each step step it
has to be one less inch than the one
below it so let's just say I'll make one
here let's say if this
was 13 in this this would have to be 12
this one would have to be 11 want to try
to do it sure want to try to do your
idea of 13 12 and 11 I don't think we'll
be able to do that well 13 + 13
equal oh no yeah 26 I don't think we I
don't think that would be the exact yeah
equals figure it out
so how are we going to do this let's
just try to put the eight on the bottom
row because it's the biggest and the
bottom row has to be the biggest all
right okay so we have an eight but what
if we
did maybe we can do
1098 yeah but would that use all well
we'll just have to figure out try it up
10 press 10 and then no it won't work it
won't hold them all six this is nine
that's n and this would be eight but no
we don't we don't have enough we can't
do that what if we
added what if we did 8 + 5 and that that
would be equals 13 13 13 so now we have
to make one that equals 12 so 7 8 9 10
is this eight 8 + 4 is 12 okay so now
it's six
+ three is 9 10 11 we did it we a good
job Eric that's exactly what you did up
here 11 12 oh my God this that's it's so
cool I didn't even realize I know you
would just guess yeah you can see as the
padding goes up 13 12 12 is 1 less than
13 then we have 12 to 11 11 is 1 less
than 12 oh cool good job
awesome a good
hey Kaye yeah Kenny where do you find
the biggest pencil in the world I don't
know pencilvania
Pennsylvania I get it got to write that
one down Pennsylvania

Cil the magic marker written and
illustrated by Jason Jay of sadelia
Missouri Juan was a boy in the third
grade at Jefferson School everybody
expected Juan to be really great in
science because everyone else in his
family was good in science Juan's father
was a science teacher at the middle
school his mother worked at a lab in
town
his brother and sister always won first
place at the science fair but one was
terrible at science one day Juan's
teacher Mrs Rooney assigned him to draw
a tiger's habitat Juan knew nothing
about tigers and he didn't have any idea
how to start one was walking home from
school that day wondering what he was
going to do he didn't want to disappoint
his family suddenly he spotted a magic
marker although he didn't know it it was
really a magic marker that night at home
he started to do his homework and
something magical started to happen it
was as if the marker had a mind of its
own it seemed to be drawing all by
itself he drew a tiger in an African
rainforest he drew trees and other
plants in that habitat it usually took
him hours to do his work but he did it
in no time at all the next day at school
Juan still had to do the report to go
with his drawing he picked up the magic
marker and waited nothing happened one
accidentally dropped the marker and
Richard stepped on it it broke into
little tiny
bits get your pencil out and start
writing said Mrs Rooney so Juan got out
his pencil and started he was surprised
that he could remember things that he
had read yesterday in class he finished
at the end of the day the next day Mrs
Rooney gave out the scores oh boy Juan
thought when he got his score it was an
a 100% he didn't need the marker he did
it all by himself that night he showed
his family his score they were very
happy and proud of him the
