01x08 - My Ice Pops

[bunniefuu]

Hey, is this thing on?

* Hey, sid, what do you say?

What you want to learn today? *
* I want to know why things

Happen and how and I want to
know everything now--oh, yeah!

How does this thing work?

Why does that stuff change?

How does that do what
it just did? Hmm.

What's up with the sky?

Do you think I could fly?

The world is spinning
and I want to know why

I got a lot of questions
and big ideas

I'm sid the science kid *
[captioning made possible by

The jim henson company
and friends of nci]

Ladies and gentlemen, please
give it up for the one and only

Sid! That's me.

Thank you, thank you very much.

Yeah. Hey, arnie, give me ,
buddy. Ok. Maybe later.

Hey, welcome to my room.

Oh, no. Arnie, look.

Aw, the frozen ice pop that my
mom made me melted.

I was gonna eat this, but I
forgot about it.

I guess the ice pop melted
overnight.

Doesn't it bother you when that
happens? It bothers me.

Now, I know ice pops melt, but
why can't my ice pops just stay

Frozen?

Why can't all things just stay
frozen?

I just got to know.

Why do my ice pops have to melt?

[Echoing]
sid! Breakfast time!

Ooh. Oh, boy.

Breakfast time!

Ooh, mom, dad.

Look, I left my ice pop on my
table overnight, and it melted.

You left an ice pop on your
table?

Uh-oh.

Yes, which I shall clean up
after breakfast.

Thank you, sid.

You know, it's too bad it
melted, but you could always

Make more.

Really? We can make more ice
pops?

Sure, you can.

Uh, how do ice pops freeze?

That's a great question, sid.

I'll tell you what.

I'll do some research on the
computer so I can show you.

Mom's really good at computer
stuff.

All righty, here we go.

I'll read the directions, and
you and dad can make some more

Ice pops.

Oh, ok. I am on it. Yes.

We are going to make ice pops.

I think there's some juice in
the fridge. Come on.

Let's take a look.

Oh, boy.

Ok, ready? Step one.

First, you put a slice of banana
at the bottom of a cup.

Then you poke an ice pop stick
into the banana.

That way the stick won't fall
over.

Next, pour in your juice.

Then put the cup in the freezer.

Then the really cold freezer
freezes it up, oh, and before

You know it, you have a yummy
ice pop.

* Ah ba da ba ba ba
ok, two cups ready to go in the

Freezer--one for sid and one for
his friend gabriela.

One for gabriela?

Yeah. You and gabriela have a
play date after school,

Remember?

Oh, yeah.

Gabriela's my best friend in the
whole wide world.

Hey, let's put those cups in the
freezer. It's ice pop time.

It's ice pop time.

Mm-hmm.

A-blammo. Heh.

Ok, all you have to do is
wait for them to freeze, and

You've got ice pops.

Hee hee hee!

[Gasp] hey, they're not ready.

They need more time than
that, sid.

Are they frozen now?

Not yet.

How about now?

Sid, it's gonna take some
time.

You just have to wait, buddy.

Ok.

And you have to eat breakfast
because we have to high-tail it

To school soon.

Oh, yeah.

* I love my mom
my mom is cool

But now it's time
for having fun at school, yeah *

Ha ha ha!

* I'm looking for my friends
I'm looking for you

There's gabriela *
* watch what I can do

La la whoo, la la whoo
oh, yeah *

Wow.

* I'm looking for my friends
I'm looking for you

Hey, there's gerald *
yeah. Check out my moves.

Uh! Uh! Ha ha ha!

I'm a rock star.

Cool.

* I'm looking for my friends
I'm looking for you

Hey, there's may *
may I show you how I groove?

* Ba da da da
ha ha ha! Yay!

Groovy.

* We're looking
for our friends

We're looking for you
hey, there's sid *

Did you hear the one about
the kid who wanted to know

Everything about everything?

That's you.

You got me.

[Laughter]
* da da da da da

* We're looking
for our friends

And look what we found
we found each other

Friends *
[laughter]

And now it's time for the sid
survey.

Hello, I am sid, roving
reporter, with today's survey.

The question--have you ever
eaten something frozen that

Melted?

Hey, you can think about things
that melt, too.

Oh, may, I have a survey
question.

Have you ever eaten something
frozen that melted?

Well, one time during the
summer, I had an ice cream

Sandwich melt all the way down
to my elbow, and my elbow was

Not very happy about it.

Isn't that right, elbow? Yeah.

Hmm, well, thank you, may...

And elbow.

You're welcome.

Oh, gabriela. Gabriela, have
you ever eaten something frozen

That melted?

Actually, yes.

Once, I was eating a red, white,
and blue frozen ice pop, and it

Melted on my hand, and then I
had a red, white, and blue hand.

Whoa, colorful. Thanks.

* La ha
hey, once I was eating a big

Bowl of cherry banana chocolate
chip ice cream, and it melted,

Blagh...

So it changed into cherry banana
chocolate chip soup.

Sounds yummy.

Ha ha! It was so good.

Ha ha ha!

Hmm. And now the results of
my survey. Gabriela's ice pop

Melted. May's ice cream sandwich
melted all the way to her elbow,

And gerald says his big bowl of
ice cream melted and changed

Into ice cream soup, and I hope
you thought about something that

Melts, too.

So, there you have it. I am sid,
roving reporter and melting

Expert.

Everybody! Rug time!

That's teacher susie!

* It's rug time
come on in

Rug time
take a seat

Rug time *
* we're ready

* Everybody move your feet
rug time *

* Teacher susie
* good time is on the way

Rug time
come on in

We've got a lot to learn today *
, , .

Blast off!

We're over here, astronaut
gerald.

Roger that, teacher susie.

Dropping in for a landing.

Oh, man.

Oh, boy.

Ha ha ha! So how is everyone
doing today?

Oh, we were talking about
frozen stuff that melted.

Oh, yeah, because sid left
out his ice pop, and it melted.

Yup. Sad but true.

Oh, sorry about your ice pop,
sid, but I bet all of you have

Had something frozen that
melted, right?

Yeah.

So here's a question for
everyone. If you wanted

Something to stay frozen,
where's the best place to keep

It?

Oh, uh, somewhere c-c-cold.

I think gerald has the right
idea. Where is somewhere really

C-c-c-cold?

Umm...

Oh! In the freezer!

Right!

Oh, no, sid. Your ice pops
melted because they weren't in

The freezer. Poor little ice
pops.

May is right. You know, when
juice or something liquid like

Water is kept really cold, over
time it freezes and changes to

Ice.

Yeah, and then when it's not
in a cold place, it melts,

Right?

You got it.

Hey, then can you freeze the
water back into ice?

Great question, sid. Yes, you
can. When something can change

Back and forth like that, it's
called reversible change.

Wow.

So, water can freeze and
become ice and then melt and

Then freeze back into ice.

And that's reversible change.

I like that change.

Me, too. So who wants to see
what happens when something

Frozen starts to melt?

We do!

Well, I know the perfect
place to investigate freezing

And melting. Ok, scientists. You
know where we're going.

To the super fab lab!

Grab your journals and let's
go.

All right!

Super fab lab.

Ok.

Super fab lab!

Observe!

Compare!

Contrast!

Wow!

We're going to do an
investigation called the ice

Block investigation.

Wow.

It's beautiful.

And guess what. The fruit
frozen inside the ice is going

To be your snack today.

Yay!

How are we going to eat the
fruit if we can't get to it?

Well, what happened to sid's
ice pop?

It melted.

Yes.

Aha. We'll wait for the block
of ice to melt into water.

Hold on. It takes a long time
for ice to melt. Oh, no.

Don't worry, frozen fruit.

We'll get you out of there.

Yeah, and then we'll eat
you. Ha ha ha!

I have an idea. Let's make
the ice melt faster.

Maybe we can put the block of
ice in a microwave. That'll melt

It really fast.

Ooh. Well, I'm afraid the
block of ice is too big for a

Microwave, but I like the way
you're thinking, may.

Thank you.

Oh! We could blow hot air on
it. Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

Ha ha ha!

Oh, maybe not.

Hey, what if we pour
something warm on the big block

Of ice to make it melt?

Good idea, sid. Look around.

Is there some sort of liquid we
could use here in the super fab

Lab?

Um...

[Gasp] warm water from the
sink!

Good thinking, gabriela. I'll
go get some warm water, and

We'll start our investigation.

Yeah!

Cool.

You're scientists. You can
try this, too.

Here is our ice block filled
with fruit. Go ahead and touch

It. How does it feel? Is the ice
cold? Is it hard? Is it wet?

Draw a picture of what the ice
block looks like in your

Journal.

Ok, here's your challenge. Try
to get the fruit out of the ice.

Go for it.

Mmm. It isn't easy to break
through the ice.

It's frozen solid.

Now an adult is going to pour
warm water over the block of

Ice.

Wow! What is the warm water
doing to the ice?

It's changing the ice.

It's starting to melt.

Go ahead and touch the ice block
again. How does it feel now?

I think we need to pour some
more warm water over the ice.

Look, it's melting even more.

All right! The ice changed. It
melted. Now you can reach the

Fruit.

Go ahead. Enjoy your fruit
snack, and when you're done

Eating, draw your observations
in your journals. Remember what

The ice was like when it was
frozen and then after we poured

On the warm water and it melted.

Mmm. These grapes are good
and cold.

I'm glad you're all enjoying
your chilly fruit snacks.

Oh, I can't wait to see what
observations you made in your

Journals. Sid, let's take a look
at your journal first.

Oh. Oh, ok. Um, here's the
big block of ice before you

Poured on the warm water, and
here's the ice after you poured

The warm water.

Mm-hmm.

When the ice melted, it made
a big puddle of water at the

Bottom, and all the fruit went
for a swim!

Ha ha ha!

Good observation, sid. Ok,
gabriela, let's see your

Journal.

Oh, sure. You poured warm
water on the ice, but it only

Melted a little bit. I poked at
the ice, and I still couldn't

Get to the fruit.

Mm-hmm.

Then you poured on more warm
water and even more warm water.

It took so long for the ice to
melt so we could eat the fruit.

Great observations, gabriela.

All of you scientists made great
observations. So now I have a

Question. If we put the melted
water into the freezer, do you

Think we could change it back
into ice?

Hmm.

Yes, because ice can melt
into water.

Yeah, and then freeze back
into ice.

Yeah, and that's reversible
change.

Yes!

I'm impressed. My scientists
know so much about freezing,

Melting, and reversible change.

I think it's time to play with
all your new ideas.

Yeah!

Playtime. Go ahead.

All right.

It's time for...

Good laughternoon! Ha ha ha!

Why was the baby's juice pop
crying?

I don't know. Why?

Because he wanted his ice mom
and ice pop.

Ice pop. Ha ha ha!

Knock knock.

Who's there?

It's me--may. Sid, you're a
really nice friend.

Oh, um, well, thanks, may. Do
you have a joke?

Nope. Bye-bye.

Ha ha ha!

Hey! Hey, gabriela?

Yes?

What do you get when you mix
water, frozen juice, and slushy

Ice?

Water, juice, and slushy ice.

Hmm. I don't know. What?

You get a frozen juicing
slushing popper schmopper blabba

Blee blee blee blah.

Ha ha ha!

Now, that's funny. Ha ha ha!

[Pre-recorded laughter]
[kids laughing]

Ok, let's play freeze. When I
yell "freeze," your whole body

Becomes frozen and you can't
move.

And when I say "sun's out," that
means it's warm, and so you melt

And dance around.

Yeah!

Ooh, I like this game.

Ready? Freeze!

I'm f-f-freezing.

And now the sun's out.

Melt. Ah.

I'm melting.

We're changing.

Now freeze!

Sun's out.

Ah!

Ah, melting.

Now freeze.

Sun's out.

Melt.

Freeze. Melt. Freeze, melt,
freeze, melt, freeze, melt,

Freeze, melt.

That's too fast!

Ha ha ha!

And now...

It's time...

For susie...

To sing!

Go, susie!

Why, thank you. Thank you,
and thank you. You know, all

This talk about reversible
change reminds me of a couple of

Penguin friends of mine.

* Ooh, ooh, ooh
in the summertime

You dip and dive
in the clear blue water

That shimmers
shimmers

The sun shines down
and we splash around

You won't see happier swimmers
then winter brings the cold

So the water starts to freeze
we don't mind when it turns to

Ice
can we slide on our bellies

Please?

On penguin pond
things keep changing

From ice to water and water to
ice, back and forth

We live in a changing paradise
what was water now is ice

Still the summer sun
melts the ice and then

We'll be swimming once again
on penguin pond

We swim and slide on the same
pond

We don't find it strange
water turns to ice

And back to water
that's called reversible change

On penguin pond
things keep changing

From ice to water
and water to ice

Back and forth
we live in a changing paradise

What was water now is ice
still the summer sun

Melts the ice and then
we'll be swimming once again

On penguin pond *
yay!

Ha ha ha!

Awesome!

It was so cute in the song
when the penguin slid on her

Belly all over the ice.

Yeah, and then when the ice
melted, those penguins went

Splash, splash, splash in the
water.

Ha ha ha! Hey, in the song,
the icy pond melted into water,

So...ice is just frozen water,
right?

You're right.

And the icy pond melts to
water and then freezes back into

An icy pond, and that's
called...

Reversible change!

I'm so impressed with all my
scientists. You're all

Reversible change experts. Ok,
let's get ready to go home, and

You can tell everyone about
freezing and melting.

All right! Hey, come on,
gabriela. You've got a play date

At my house today.

Yay! A play date.

All right.

It's time to go home.

* Back seat driving with
grandma *

Whoo!

So a play date today. You
guys are lucky.

Yeah, and if we're really
lucky, my ice pops in the

Freezer will be ready.

Hey, sid's grandma, did they
have freezers when you were a

Little girl?

Of course we had freezers,
but when my grandma was a little

Girl, that's a different story.

Ha ha ha! When my grandma was
growing up, she didn't have a

Freezer. She had an ice box. And
do you know what was inside?

Ice! Ha ha ha!

It was a big old box with an ice
block, and everything next to

The ice stayed cold. And when
it was hot outside, the ice

Inside the box would melt. Yeah.

Sometimes you'd open up the
door, and all you'd find was a

Big old puddle of water. Ha ha
ha! Water. Yeah. How do you like

That? And then, to keep things
cold, you had to put in a

Brand-new block of ice.

Hey, that's what happened to
my ice pops. They melted.

Grandma, do you think my new ice
pops are frozen yet?

I don't know. Let's go find
out.

Yeah!

My grandma's the coolest
grandma in the whole world.

* We learned something cool
something cool today

We know it upside-down
and inside out

We learned all about
reversible change *

Ha!

Two scientists in the house!

Stack.

[Applause]
do you think they're frozen

Yet?

I'm not sure. Do you think
they're frozen?

I don't know.

I don't know either.

Well, there's only one way to
find out if they're frozen. Here

We go.

Come on, juice. Please,
please, please, please be

Frozen.

Oh, pretty, pretty, pretty
please be frozen.

Uh-oh. Guess what. You have
frozen juice pops!

Yay! Ice pops. Yeah.

Oh, and they look really
good. So I say eat up, kids!

Yum.

Thank you.

Oh, you're welcome.

Ah. Today was the best day
ever. We got to melt a big block

Of ice and eat the fruit inside.

Yum! But the ice didn't melt
right away. No way. It takes a

Long time for ice to melt, and
it takes a long time for water

To freeze. That's why you got to
keep ice pops in the

Freezer--so they don't melt. And
that got me thinking. What if I

Wanted to make a really big
juice pop that wouldn't fit in

The freezer? How would I do
that? Hmm. [Gasp] I've got it.

Ok, here's my super dooper ooper
schmooper big idea. I'm gonna

Invent the biggest juice pop in
the whole world. So first, I'll

Need a super huge t*nk of orange
juice. Then I'll take a

Helicopter and fly the t*nk to
the south pole, where it's

Really, really cold. The whole
place is like a giant outdoor

Freezer. Then the big t*nk of
juice will freeze into a giant

Juice pop. But here is the best
part. I'm gonna carve my giant

Juice pop into a special shape.

When I'm all done, I'll have the
world's biggest ice pop--in the

Shape of my favorite stuffed
animal dinosaur--arnie!

And that's my super dooper ooper
schmooper big idea.

[Applause]
thank you. Ooh, hey, watch this.

Hoo hoo hoo! Ha ha!

It's cold. I'm ice.

Now it's hot. I'm water.

I am sid...

The science kid. [Echoing]
remember, keep asking lots and

Lots of questions. See you
later, scientists. Whoo hoo!

It's cold. Now it's hot.

Wow!

Oh, hi. We're just checking
out our website. You can explore

With us.

Yeah, that's a great idea.

Come join us. Visit
pbskids.org, and there's a lot

Of great information for
grownups, too.

I think we look pretty good
on the computer.

Yeah.

Investigate, explore,
discover!

Wow!

Hey, I know how to
investigate, explore, and

Discover, and I bet you do, too.

Ha ha!

Investigate--that's when you
want to find stuff out.

Explore--that's when you look at
things in the world around you.

Discover--that's when you
investigate and explore and you

Find out something new.

Hey, scientists. There's lots
more amazing science coming your

Way. My friends and I will learn
how to use science tools,

Investigate how things change,
discover our senses, and explore

How to keep our bodies healthy.

So come join me, sid the science
kid.
