Mr. Sparks:
It was a hot day,

and my crew was taking turns
on Benny's new Bubble Bouncer.

- Let's go!

Whoa!
- Whoo-hoo!

[both laugh]

- This might be the best thing
you've ever bubbled up, Benny.

- Thanks, yeah,
it took a lot of bubbles,

but it was totally worth it.

- But soon the weather would
take a turn for the worse.

That is not rain!

- Oh, no!

Mr. Sparks: This was
no ordinary weather.

It came on quick,

but, before long, it was gone,

and so was
Benny's Bubble Bouncer.

- Aw, how could this happen?

My bubbles are
usually pretty strong.

- Yeah, but those sky rocks
must have been stronger.

- [squeaks]

- Wait, these aren't rocks.
They're freezing cold.

These are balls of ice!
all: Ice?

- So ice just fell
from the sky?

- Sí, it's called hail.

Not the kind of weather
you see every day.

- I've never seen hail before.

- Ooh, I have in a comic book.

See?
That's Hail Caesar.

He's a hero who saves the day

by blasting hail
from his hands.

- Maybe we can ask him
about hail.

- Sí, oh, talking to an expert

Great Caesar salad, no.

Superpowers of Science!

- Ah, yes.
I've heard of those.

Please continue.

- Let's start by understanding
what the problem is.

- Okay, hmm.

The hail is making the awning
droop down really low.

- Seems like hail
can be pretty heavy,

and the more hail there is,
the heavier it is.

- And the lower
the awning droops.

- So now we need a plan
to solve the problem.

- Alas, if only I had
the power to un-hail!

of the awning piece by piece.

No, no, no, no, no!

More hail
just makes more dents.

- Oh, right, right.
Sorry, sorry.

- Maybe our Superpowers

can solve this problem too.

- Yes, a fine idea.

- Okay, first, let's
understand the problem.

Hail has made some
serious dents in this car.

- Looks like hail is so strong,
it can do real damage.

- Indeed, for hail is mighty
and can be dangerous.

- So now we need
to come up with a plan

to solve this problem.

- Ooh, what if I just
make you a new chariot?

Like this!
Ha, ha, go me.

- Uh, no, thanks.

Uh, I think I'll stick
with my actual working car.

- There's got to be
something we can do.

- Alas!

If only there was a way

when the sky grew dark.

I thought it was going
to rain, but--

- But it was
no ordinary weather?

- Well, that's right!
It was thunder and hail!

It was so loud, Bitsy ran away
and hid in her dog house.

the safest thing to do

when it hails.

she won't come out!

the Superpowers of Science

can be scary

to some animals like Bitsy.

there without scaring her more.

up or down the pole.

When I pull this rope up, the
rope with the flag goes down,

is helping the rope move.

goes down,

the other side with the flag
goes up!

find anything

a wheel thingy

I use them
in my gadgets sometimes.

See, the wheel helps
the rope move.

on the string,

the pulley makes
the toothbrush go up.

could help us
