01x15 - All My Senses

[bunniefuu]

Hey, is this thing on?

[Sid chuckles]
* hey, sid, what do you say?

What do 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?

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]

Hmm. Wow, sid, that banana
looks delicious. Ah. Mmm. Why,

Yes, dr. Beaks, it is quite
delicious, thank you. Bye-bye.

[Sid chuckles]
hmm. But you know, I had

Oatmeal for breakfast, and
that tasted yummy, too. But it

Tasted different than this
banana, but it was still yummy.

Hey, wait a minute. How did I
taste the difference between

This banana and the oatmeal?

Come on, sid, it's time for
school.

Ooh. Hey, mom, I have a
question. How did my mouth know

That bananas taste different
than oatmeal?

Good question, sid. It's
your sense of taste.

Oh.

Your mouth knows the
difference between lots of

Tastes. Cheese, chocolate,
chicken--you name it, you can

Taste it.

Hmm, wow. So, it's my sense
of taste? Um--do I have any

Other senses?

You sure do. You have
senses.

Wow. Huh. Wow--i'm going to
investigate this more at school.

Good idea. Come on, let's
go, sweetie.

I just got to know--what are
all my senses?

[Echoes]
hoo-hoo! Time for school! Yay!

* I love my mom--
uh-huh--

My mom is cool
uh-huh--

But now it's time
for having fun at school

Yeah!

[Sid's mother laughs]
hi!

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

There's gabriella
watch what I can do

Aha! Yeah!

Ready, set, go!

Wow!

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

Hey, there's gerald
yeah!

Check out my moves
I'm a rock star!

Yeah! Awesome!

Cool!

Go!

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

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

Uh-huh
whee!

Uh-huh!

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]
* we're looking for our

Friends
and look what we found

We found each other!

Friends! *
[Laughter]

Awesome! You like what I do?

Yeah.

Simon says kick your right
foot.

Ok.

Simon says nod your head.

Mm-hmm.

Simon says--oh, hi, sid.

Oh, hi, sid.

No. Sid's right there.

What?

Hi, guys.

Ok! Hi, sid.

So, simon says I have a
question. Do you ever think

About how stuff tastes
different? Like how a cheese

Sandwich tastes different than
an apple?

Yeah! Yeah, they do taste
different. And they both taste

Good. Now I'm hungry.

Oh, me, too. Hey, I also
like the taste of strawberry

Yogurt.

I like the taste of apple
pie.

Oh, me, too.

Yummy!

Hi, kids. It's a special
day. We're having class

Outside! Come on.

Yay!

Yay!

Go outside. Come on, let's
go. This way.

That's teacher susie.

Susie--
hmm?

Susie, we were talking about
things that are yummy.

Yeah, things that taste
yummy. Like apple pie.

Oh, what a fun conversation.

You were talking about your
sense of taste.

Yeah. My mom told me all
about my sense of taste. And

She also said that we have a
bunch of other senses.

Oh, I know another sense.

[Mae sniffs]
ah, our sense of smell.

[Mae giggles]
smell, right.

We did an investigation
about our sense of smell. I drew

Pictures about it in my journal.

Oh, yeah. We used our nose
just for that.

Yeah.

Ok, scientists, it's time
for the scent investigation.

Yeah!

Cool.

Here are canisters. And
each one has a different food

In it. And each food has its
own special scent.

And we get to smell them?

You do. After you smell
what's in a canister--no

Looking, just smelling--you can
try to figure out what scent

You smelled. Then draw a
picture of what you think it is

In your journal. When you're
done smelling all the

Canisters, we can look inside
them to see what they really

Are.

I can smell a molecule.

Ha, ha!

Mmm, I smell something.

Oh, I smell something yummy!

[Gerald chuckles]
you're a scientist. You can

Try this, too.

It's time to start our scent
investigation. We are going to

Use our sense of smell to try
and guess what's inside

Different cups. Here's the first
cup. Use your nose to smell

What's inside. Then draw a
picture in your journals of what

You think you just smelled in
the cup.

Time to smell the
second cup. Pass it around

And let everyone have a
chance to smell it. Really think

About the smell and draw a
picture of what you think it

Is.

Ok, here's cup three. Use your
nose and give it a good sniff.

After you smell what's inside,
try to guess what it is.

Time to smell the last cup.

Pass it around and
let everyone smell what's

Inside.

Then draw a picture of what you
think it is you smelled in the

Cup.

Now let's find out what's inside
the first cup.

It's popcorn!

Next let's find out what's in
the second cup.

And it's...

Cinnamon!

And what was that in cup three?

A lemon.

And in the last cup,
there was, ooh, an onion.

Isn't it fun using your
sense of smell?

Ok, scientists, let's see
what kinds of observations you

Made. Sid, would you like to go
first?

Sure. I almost guessed all
the smells right. The first one

Was popcorn. And the next one
was cinnamon. This one had

Lemons. And I thought the last
one was mustard, but it was

Really onions. Hmm.

Overall, though, I'd say my
nose did a pretty good job.

[Sid chuckles]
hey, give me five, nose. Ugh.

[Laughter]
good job, sid's nose. Ok,

Mae, let's look at your journal.

Okey-doke. I didn't know
what this smell was. At first,

I thought there was an orange
inside. Then I thought it was

Lemons. Then I thought it was
lemon-orange juice. And then I

Found out it was just lemons.

[Mae chuckles]
that was a tricky one.

Mm-hmm.

Hey--hey, susie--um--the
lemon has lemony molecules

Floating into our nose, right?

You're right, gerald.

Oh. Um--hey, molecules, how
do you like the inside of my

Nose?

[Laughter]
[all talking at once]

Oh, hey, I know another one
of our senses. Can you guess

What I'm doing? Oh, I see that
slide. And now I see our

Sandbox. And I see mae, and
sid. Hi, sid.

Oh, I know! You're--you're
using your sense of vision.

That's right!

I'm going to try. Um--i
see--the swings.

I see--
gerald looking at the swings.

That's right.

I see susie.

Oh. And I see mae. Hey, look
at us. We're doing a little

Dance as we look around. It's
our own look-around dance.

* Look at that! Look at that!

And do the look-around
the light enters your eye

As fast as hocus-pocus
a signal goes to your brain

And your eyes start to focus
oh, do the look-around--

Do the look-around--
you look up and down, yeah

Look to the left and the right
your eyes let in the light

And look at that, look at that
look at that, look at that

And do the look-around--
hoo hoo!

An eagle has good vision
he sees everything he passes

Well, one thing I've never seen
is an eagle wearing glasses

Huh
do the look-around--

Do the look-around--
you look up and down

Yeah
look to the left and the right

Your eyes let in the light
look at that, look at that

Look at that, look at that
do the look-around--

Ooh ooh!

If the eye chart looks blurry
and it's hard to see a letter

Try on some glasses now
you'll see a whole lot better

Oh, do the look-around
yeah

You look up and down
yeah

Look to the left and the right
your eyes let in the light

Look at that, look at that
look at that, look at that

Do the look-around
look around! *

I'm doing the look-around.

* The look-around
if you look around *

I'm looking all around.

Keep looking. Keep looking.

[Laughter]
yay!

Yeah! Oh, hey--hey, guess
what, everyone! I'm using

Another sense. I'm feeling my
hands and using my sense of

Touch.

Oh, hey, that reminds me--we
did a really cool investigation

Where we got to touch all kinds
of different things. Don't you

Guys remember?

Oh, yeah.

Right!

Different things, and we
were pirates.

Oh, that's right, the
pirates.

[Imitating pirate] ok,
scientists, we're going to do a

Texture treasure hunt--arr!

Cool!

Everyone's going to explore
the room and bring things back

To the table--arr. And you can
use words to describe different

Textures--arr. And when you
bring your textures back, we

Can compare and contrast
them--arr.

But what happens if I can't
bring my texture back? What if

It's the blackboard or the
sink or the floor?

You can describe the texture
on these sticky notes.

Oh.

And just stick them on.

Ok.

But--oh, no, wait a minute.

I can't write.

Oh, you don't have to write
words to describe something.

Scientists use pictures and
symbols all the time. Now, if

You wanted to draw something
that's bumpy, how would you do

It?

Um--
hmm.

Oh, you know, I would draw
hills, because hills are bumpy.

Oh--oh, and if something is
smooth, you can draw straight

Lines. No bumps.

Great ideas. All righty,
mateys, let's start the texture

Treasure hunt--arr!

[Cheers]
arr, arr, arr, arr.

[As pirate] oh--arr--you're
a scientist. You can try this,

Too--arr.

It's time for our texture
treasure hunt. Go explore the

Room and find a texture you
like.

Try touching all kinds of
different things. Feel their

Textures.

When you've found lots
of different

Textures, bring them back to
the table so we can compare and

Contrast how they feel.

It looks like you've
found some really great stuff,

And all with different
textures. This ribbon

Feels soft, but this coral feels
rough. And the fork is pointy on

Top.

This sponge is scratchy on
one side and soft on the other

Side. Let's draw some
observations in our journals.

Go ahead. You can
color the pictures of the

Different things that you found
on our texture treasure hunt.

Think about the texture of each
item you found.

Wow. We've found so many items
today, and they all have

Different textures. Soft...

Rough...

Scratchy...

And soft and smooth.

What a fantastic texture
treasure hunt.

[Chimes]
[laughter]

Wow!

My scientists
are remembering lots of great

Things about our senses.

Mm-hmm.

I think it's time to go and
play with all your wonderful

Ideas.

Cool!

All right! Yeah!

Let's go. It's break time!

Come on, gerald, hurry up!

I'm coming.

It's time for--
good laughternoon!

[Laughter]
hey, gabriella--

Yes?

Why did one shirt chase the
other?

I don't know. Why?

Because they were playing
tag.

[Laughter]
hey, sid--

Yeah?

What did one shirt say to
the other shirt?

Hmm. I don't know. What?

Nothing. Everyone knows that
shirts can't talk.

[Laughter]
knock, knock.

Um--who's there?

Ivonna.

Ivonna who?

Ivonna scratch my arm. I
have an itch.

[Laughter]
and now I have an itch on my

Other arm. Oh, and now, I have
an itch on my belly. Oh, I'm so

Itchy.

Oh, no! I think I'm itchy,
too. Oh!

Oh, no! Now I'm itchy! Yikes!

I'm itchy, too!

I'm so itchy. Oh--oh, no!

I'm too itchy! Ah!

Now, that's itchy.

[Recorded laughter]
ooh-hoo! Ha! Ah! Ooh!

Ok. Let's play a game.

Ok.

And I'll be the announcer,
since I'm wearing a tiara. It's

Time to play [echoes] no smell
bothers him!

Great. Cool.

I forgot to tell you--um--
huh? What?

You have to pretend like no
smell bothers you, ok?

Oh, it's me? Ok.

[Gabriella chuckles]
cool.

Very good. Let's see if this
smell bothers you.

Hmm, hmm, hmm.

Hello, I'm gabriella's
assistant.

Oh.

Here, sid, smell some rotten
eggs.

Ok.

[Sid sniffs]
hmm, no problem. They smell

Good.

Wow. Um--ok.

Amazing!

Thank you.

The rotten eggs don't bother
him. How about the smell of a

Skunk?

Hmm.

Hello, I am a smelly skunk.

P.u., P.u., P.u., P.u.

No, smells fine to me.

Ok, ok. How about now?

Stinky, stinky, stinky, stinky.

Yeah, you know, on that side
of me, you actually smell great.

Unbelievable!

Oh, no!

Thank you, thank you.

Ok, ok, ok.

And now, it's time for the
biggest challenge of all!

Wah! Wah! Wah! Mama! I'm a
baby! Mama! Wah, wah!

Oh, no! Not a baby who
smells like zeke! Oh, no, he

Needs to be changed! Ah! Yikes!

Hey, come back! What's
wrong? Is my diaper smell

Traveling through the air? It
must be my smell molecules!

It's time for--
good laughternoon!

Hey, sid--
yes?

What did one eye say to the
other eye?

Hmm, I don't know. What did
one eye say to the other eye?

Don't look now, but
something between us smells.

Get it?

Yep, I nose what you mean.

[Laughter]
hey, sid--

Yes?

What is something you can
watch that also smells?

Hmm. I don't know. What?

Smellevision.

[Laughter]
hey--um--how do you stop a

Fish from smelling?

I don't know. How do you
stop a fish from smelling?

You hold his nose. "I'm a
fish, and I can't smell. I

Can't smell anything."

[Laughter]
yeah, I still can't smell

Anything.

Oh, yeah? Well, I smell a
fish. P.u.

Oh.

Now, that's smelly.

[Recorded laughter]
[laughter]

Hey, I heard you guys
playing all the way over there.

It sounded like you were having
fun.

Yeah.

Oh, susie, you heard us.

That's another one of our
senses.

Oh, yeah. Our sense of
hearing.

You're right. Hey, that
reminds me of a song about the

Sounds we hear all around us.

* Waves of sound--
are running through the air

Waves of sound--
for the world to hear

Take the time to listen to
the sounds that you've been

Missing--
waves of sound--

Bring music to my ears
sound waves float in different

Lengths
sound waves come in different

Strengths
a tuba is big

So is a football crowd
a whisper is soft

A rocking band is loud
your ears hear traffic

And a song with rhyme
and mom calling you for dinner

At the very same time
some sounds are so loud

You hold your ears
when you're near 'em

Some are so small
you can barely hear 'em

Waves of sound--
are riding through the air

Waves of sound--
for the world to hear

Take the time to listen to
the sounds that you've been

Missing
waves of sound--

Bring music to my ears
ears are a natural

Listening tool
some are long and floppy

Like the ears on a mule
you know a lot of animals

Have got them, too
you hear them

And they hear you
make a sound wave

With your voice
make it loud or soft

Now that's your choice
take the time to hear the sounds

Wherever you go
my favorite sound is a friend

Saying hello
waves of sound--

Are riding through the air
waves of sound--

For the world to hear
take the time to listen to

The sounds that you've been
missing

Waves of sound--
bring music to my ears *

Wow! We have so many senses.

Yes, we do. Can you all
count how many senses we have?

Our sense of vision. That's
one.

Oh--our sense of smell!

[Gerald sniffs]
ha, ha! I smell good.

Um--that's senses.

Oh, our sense of touch.

That's .

Yeah.

Ooh, don't forget our sense
of taste.

[Makes tasting sound]
that's .

And then [whispers] there's
one more sense.

What?

I can't hear what you said.

Our sense of hearing!

[Laughter]
that's !

So we have senses. Hmm.

Wow. Our bodies are amazing.

I think all you scientists
are amazing.

Thank you.

Thanks, susie.

Ok, my senses experts, let's
use our sense of vision and

Look for the front door,
because it's time to go home.

Ok, yeah!

Oh! Cool, yeah!

Ok. I'm going to find you,
door.

I think you might be
somewhere, mr. Door, and gerald

Will find you. Or are you over
here? Oh, oh.

And I'm looking--
oh, I think you're over here.

I'm looking. I'm getting
warmer.

I see it. I see a door.

Over here!

Ok. Let me try to use my
senses. I just brushed my teeth

And I can taste the watermelon
toothpaste in my mouth. Now

I'll use my sense of vision to
look at dr. Beaks. Ha, ha.

Watch! Bam! Hmm, I just used my
sense of touch. Whoa! Missed me.

Now what about my sense of
hearing? Hmm.

Sid?

Huh? Ooh, my sense of
hearing just heard my dad. Hmm.

Hey, sid, it's almost
bedtime.

Whoa! My sense of smell
tells me zeke might need a

Diaper change.

Yeah, I'm on my way to
change him right now. And then

It's night-night for little
zekie. Right, buddy?

[Zeke babbles]
night night.

Night night, little brother.

Ok, let's go. Ok. Yeah.

Whew! It's too bad there
isn't something to help our

Noses when things don't smell
so nice. Wait a minute. Maybe I

Can invent something. Ok, I've
got it! Here's my super duper

Ooper schmooper big idea! I'm
going to invent a smellinator

Machine that can roll around
like a big truck, scooping up

All the bad-smelling things in
the world, like bags of

Garbage, and diapers, and old
socks, and old cheese, and

Factory smoke. Yuck! And I'll
put them in a super big good-

Smelling sack. But the
smellinator also has a

Spreader. It can spread nice
and yummy-smelling things out

All over the place. I'll spread
fresh flowers and cookies and

Yummy cake. Everyone will be
happy sniffing the air. The

World will be a better place,
and noses will be really happy,

Too. Everything smells so good.

The garbage smells fantastic.

Flowery. I could smell these
molecules forever.

[Laughs]
and that's my super duper ooper

Schmooper big idea!

[Recorded applause]
thank you, thank you.

[Sid chuckles]
hey, why don't you try to use

All of your senses, too? Go
look at something, and then

Listen to it and touch it,
smell it. Ah--but don't taste

It, unless it's food, something
yummy. Huh. Senses are the

Best. And I know because I am
sid the science kid. [Echoes]

And remember, keep asking lots
and lots of questions. See you

Later, scientists.

[Sid sniffs]
boy, those smell good, yeah.

Hmm. What am I looking at? You,
dr. Beaks! I'm going to touch

You.

[Sid laughs]
yeah. I'm going to touch you

Again.

[Makes karate sounds]
[chuckles]

Wow!

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

Explore with us.

Yeah!

Oh, 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
in the computer.

Yeah!

Investigate, explore,
discover!

Wow!

Hey, I know how to
investigate, explore, and

Discover. And I bet you do,
too. 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.

Be sure to check out another
episode full of amazing science.

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.

See you next time on "sid the
science kid."
