[Music]
drive hi and welcome to Cafe Zoom here's
my name spelled out in alphabet pretzels
r a c h e l for Rachel the recipe was
sent in by Anastasia of mota Illinois
and I'm going to show you how to make
them here's what you'll need honey yeast
two eggs cooking oil
flour salt and 1/3 cup of warm water
First
Take 2 T spoons of Honey really
sweet
[Music]
okay then mix 1/2 packet of
yeast and 1/3 cup of warm
[Music]
water
then mix 2 tbspoon of cooking oil
[Music]
and then add your
egg mix it
[Music]
up next you can gradually add 1 and 1/2
cups of
[Music]
flour now you're ready to mix
[Music]
it
this will give you a really stiff
dough now you can pour your dough out on
the cutting
[Music]
board and start to knead the
dough if you're using your hands like me
make sure you wash
them and you may want to put some flour
on your hands because this the dough
gets really sticky and you don't want it
to stick on your
fingers you can put a little over the
dough so it doesn't stick and start to
knead feels really cool it's like soft
and it's like mushy SP it
out after you're done
kneading you can break a piece of the
dough and roll it into a snake
and with your snake you can make any
letter you want and I'm going to make
the letter z for
Zoo
okay spread it
out still kind of
sticky that's
okay next you're going to take your
other egg
and using the back of your spoon spread
it over your
pretzel the egg all of
it so it kind of turns it a yellowish
[Music]
color now you're ready for your salop
and you can just sprinkle a little
over the
see now you're ready to cook your
pretzel in the oven to about
350° for 10 to 12 minutes or until
they're golden brown and if you're not
allowed to use the oven ask an adult to
help
[Music]
you here's what your pretzels will look
like when they're
done zou o M
Zoom bone
Appetit it's really
good hey V yeah Caroline why did a man
put the cheese on the computer I don't
know because the mouse was
hungry the
computer
[Music]
I'm Elis McMillan I'm 12 years old and I
started a chocolate business 2 years ago
with her brother called the chocolate
Farm my grandma taught me how to make
chocolate when I was about 3 years old
and I've made it ever since once I
thought chocolate would be a great idea
for a business I decided I had to learn
a lot more about it so I took chocolate
classes I read all the chocolate cook
books I could find and I learned a lot
more about
chocolates I'm like the creative CR I
name the chocolates and direct the
cooking and make new
ideas and my brother put up a website so
we could sell our chocolate over the
Internet we got lots of orders and it
just kept growing and growing into a
really successful business
I'm holding this rooster because the
name of our chocolate company is the
chocolate Farm today we're going to make
chocolate Farm mice okay so first we
have the marish cherries and that's the
stand is going to be the tail and this
going to be the body and then we have
chocolate kisses and that's going to be
the face little nose right here and then
these are going to be the ears the
almonds and we're going to stick them in
between the kiss and the Cherry you're
going to dip the Cherry in the chocolate
and you can get the Cherry all
covered and then we're going to put the
kisses and you're going to push the head
real tight so it doesn't slip off when
you put the ears on and then we're going
to do the Almond ears and you can take
two slices of almonds and you're going
to stick them where the ears should
be and last we're going to do the nose
you can take a to thick and dip it in
pink chocolate Little Dot where the nose
is good job how long before they're
ready to eat it takes about 10 minutes
for them to be hard and dry in an hour
we probably make over a hundred of these
M I've been making chocolate uh since I
was really little and I just thought it
was fun I didn't even think oh business
no way I just thought it's just a fun
hobby if you have a hobby or something
you really like to do and you want to
turn it into a business I just say go
for it because what have you got to lose
it's a great
experience what kid wouldn't want to
have a chocolate company I
mean it was a great idea and it fit me
perfectly
[Music]
this
[Laughter]
Alro
do you like math puzzles wow Alisa I of
pic Maryland sent us a great one her
challenge is to find five consecutive
numbers that add up to 100 consecutive
numbers are numbers that come in a row
like 456 or 30 31 32 so we have to
figure out five consecutive numbers and
when you add them together they equal
100 all right I think what we have to do
is we have to divide 100 by five because
if we have to five five consecutive
numbers to equal 100 okay so five
10 subract is zero so that's 20 so do
you want to first pick a number like
maybe 20 do you want to try the 20 some
of the 20s go 20 19 18 17 and then that
might be close to 100 because if we went
up it would be over 100 so let's see 20
we want 20 19 19
18
20 figure it out
6 that's 30 30 5 6 7 8 n that's 90 oh
that's close it is close we're 10 off
could we go 30 29 so let's try so 26
right that's it so you know this is
going to be 30 and then
6 6 7 8 9 10 12 four that's 140 H so do
you want to start at 25 yeah that's what
I was going to say yeah so 25 hard it is
really
21 so these are what so 10 11 12 13 14
15 okay then 2 4 6 eight 10
115 close we are close Okay so do you
want to see if we can go by twos maybe
22 it's high 22 but 19 and 18 won't work
cuz if if 21 was below then 19 or 18
will definitely that so that's 20 20 and
then 2 4 6 8 9
10 we got it nice job that was excellent
it was really really cool so now that we
figure out which five consecutive
numbers equal to 100 do you want to try
to figure out which five consecutive
numbers equal to 200 sure here let's
flip the page so hold on remember when
um my idea back in the when we were 100
when I told to divide by five um and
that told us like which oh yeah which
number to
start yeah like it told us to go in the
so do you want to divide by five with
200 so 5 into 200 goes 5 20 goes four
times right 4 * 5 is
20 0
0 40 so maybe we should start 40 you
know how last time the answer we we
figured out 22 and then down I think
maybe if we did
402 all right
and then I don't know it's just
following the pattern kind so go ahead
okay
so N 9 308 eight all right okay
so 20 right yeah 20 and then 16 20 right
yeah y okay so it
works good job wow so let's use that
pattern to figure out which five
consecutive numbers we can use to add up
to 300 all right okay so
three well soon we'll be up till get
that 1,000 so that's six right 6 * 5 30
oh I'll these zeros zero
60 *
62 two I think this one will work
because if it worked on all the
other ones then so this is
20 and then this is
18 that's 28 29
30 work
yay we did it so good job yeah that's
definitely the pattern we had first you
had 22 then 42 then 62 so we've been
going up by 20 22 yeah nice
job to find five consecutive numbers
that add up to 100 we divided 100 by
five that got us to 20 our starting
point what do you think you would have
to do to find six or seven consecutive
numbers that add up to 100 try it at
home and send your results to
zoom hey Kenny Eric where do computers
go to
dance oh I don't know to a disco

into
action here's a member of the Zoom team
Caitlyn W of morville Indiana organized
a book drive for the third grade class
at her school she collected over 200
books and donated them to the Salvation
Army awesome job Kaitlyn here's how you
can become a member of the Zoom team
volunteer your time hold a fundraiser do
things that make a difference be sure
you tell us about it at the zoom website
where you can also find out what other
kids are doing and learn how you can
volunteer zoom into action zoom into
action and join the Zoom team
hey Zoomers do you remember when we
asked you to keep track of the time that
your street lights went on well here's
some data we got from Boston for
February March and April this line graph
shows the month and the day on the
bottom and the time at night that the
lights turned on on the side look at
this pattern each month the light goes
on later and later at
night on February 1st the street lights
came on at 5:30 at night and on March
1st the street lights came on at 6:00 at
night this means that the sun sets later
and later each day I also noticed that
there were some days that the street
lights came on earlier on February 7th
the street lights came on at 520 and
just a few days before they came on at
5:30 this makes sense because our data
shows that it was rainy on February 7th
so it would be darker out and the lights
would come on earlier also at the
beginning of April the street lights
suddenly went on much later that's
because it was the end of daylight
savings time and everyone set their
clocks ahead 1 hour so the lights came
on an hour later than they did the day
before why don't you try watching the
street lights in your neighborhood right
around the time that it gets dark be
sure to keep track of what time they go
on if you do this at least three times a
week for two weeks you'll probably start
to see a pattern write down the date the
time and what the weather was like and
send your data to the zoom website at
pbskids.org where you can also see data
from Zoomers around the

country Zoom game Nancy s of Littleton
Colorado played this game at a birthday
party and said it was lots of fun it's

alphabet here's how you play divide a
group into two teams and have them face
each other the first player on one team
will call the name of an animal that
would be Rachel pick an animal Rachel
dear then the first player on the
opposite team has to think of another
animal whose name begins with the letter
D so that would be Kenny he might say
I'm dog
go back and forth until another player
cannot think of a word that begins with
d when this happens the team that misses
has to give up that player you guys
