03x05 - Sid's Super Kick!

[bunniefuu]

Hey, scientists! It'’s me,

Sid. I want to know why kicking

A ball super hard makes it go

Really fast and really far. So

My friends and I are going to

Visit a science center to

Investigate force. Come explore

With me, sid the science kid,

Coming up next.

Hey, is this thing on?

Heh heh!

♪ 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?

You think I could fly?

The world is spinning

And I want to know why

I got a lot of questions

And big ideas

On "sid the science kid" ♪

[Captioning made possible by

Ta-da! Hello! I am the world'’s

Greatest, strongest superhero,

Super sid! Yay! And now I will

Show you my super sid kick.

Ok, super sid kick, go!

[Grunts]

How wah!

Wow! Now that is a super kick.

Look how far it went, all the

Way to the other side of the

Yard. Ha ha! Super sid will now

Fly over to get the ball.

Really bouncy hair ♪

My super sid kick is so amazing,

I can kick the ball anywhere!

Oh, ooh. Watch this. I can kick

The ball so it lands right in

Front of that tree.

Ok, super sid kick, go!

Oh. No, that went way too far.

Mmm, I thought I could kick the

Ball wherever I wanted to.

Maybe my super sid kick isn'’t

So super. Hmm. I just got to

Know, what'’s wrong with my

Super sid...kick?

["Kick" echoes]

Sid! Breakfast time!

[Sighs]

Coming, mom. Eh...

[Giggles]

Fire!

That'’s right. Fire truck.

You got it, zeke.

Mom, dad, zeke, super sid

Has a super problem.

[Babbles]

Oh? Ok, super sid, we'’re

Listening.

Well, my super sid kick is

Really good for kicking a ball

So it goes really fast and

Really far, but not so good for

Kicking it so it goes just a

Little bit.

Hmm. Interesting, super sid.

Well, how did you kick the ball

When it went really far?

Hmm, well, I kicked it hard

Like this, with a lot of oomph.

Hey, that'’s a great way to

Describe how you kicked the

Ball, with oomph.

And when you were trying to

Kick it just a little bit, how

Did you kick the ball?

Hmm. I guess I also kicked it

With a lot of oomph. Hey, wait

A minute. I guess if I want the

Ball to roll slowly so it

Doesn'’t go too far, I should

Kick it with less oomph.

Oomph. Ha ha ha!

Super sid, I like the way

You'’re thinking. Let's do an

Oomph investigation.

Yeah!

Ok, alice, I'’m going to need

Your help.

Ok.

All right, you go stand

Right over there.

All right. Here I go.

Ok, and sid, let'’s see what

Happens when I push this fire

Truck with lots of oomph, just

Like the first time you kicked

The ball.

Great.

Ahem. Ok.

Ok. Ladies and gentlemen,

Get ready to watch the fire

Truck.

Countdown, please! , , ,

Go!

Wow! It went all the way

Across the floor!

Yeah. Ok, alice. Roll it on

Back to me.

Here it comes.

There we go. Now, how much

Oomph should I use to push the

Fire truck just a little;

Say, to the other side of that

Island over there?

Um, I know. You should use

Just a little oomph.

Ok, sid. Why don'’t you try

It?

Oh. Ok. Ahem. Uh, ladies and

Gentlemen, prepare to launch the

Fire truck again with less

Oomph.

Second countdown, please!

, , , Go!

Go!

Yay! Whoo hoo!

Did it! After breakfast,

Super sid is going to school to

Investigate how something moves

When you give it a little oomph

And a lot of oomph.

Oomph! Ha ha ha ha!

The science reporter. Hello.

I am sid the science reporter,

And today I'’m investigating

The way things move,

So I'’m going to need some...

Helpers!

["Helpers" echoes]

Oh, I'’ll help you. I'll do

It.

Me, too!

Great. You can all help me

With my investigation.

Ok! Ha ha! Wait a second.

What do I have to do?

Mmm. You have to sit on the

Swing you'’re already sitting on.

Ha ha ha! Ok, I can do that.

Great. And, may, could you

Please push gerald with a little

Bit of oomph?

Oh! You mean don'’t push him

Too hard.

Yeah.

Ok. I could do that. Here we

Go, gerald.

Ok.

Ok.

Um, I'’m kind of not moving

Very much.

Hmm. Interesting. Ok, now,

Gabriela, could you please push

Gerald really hard, with lots

Of oomph?

Yes, I can do that. I'’m

Really strong.

I know.

Ok, gerald. Ready...

Ready!

Set, go!

Whee! Ha ha ha! I'’m going

Really high! I'’m going to keep

Going! I'’m flying!

Ah. So, when may pushed

Gerald just a little bit, gerald

Moved just a little bit.

Whee!

And when gabriela pushed

Gerald really hard, he moved

A lot.

Ha ha ha ha!

Ha ha. It'’s just like when

Dad and I pushed the fire truck

Across the floor. Hmm.

Class, we'’re going on a field

Trip to a science center!

Wow! We'’re going to a science

Center with teacher susie!

Let'’s go!

Science center? Wow!

So who'’s excited to go to

The science center?

We are!

Oh, I'’m excited, too. There

Are so many things to discover

And explore.

Ooh, can we explore what

Makes things move? Because this

Morning I was pretending to be

Super sid, and when I kicked

The ball with lots of oomph,

The ball went really fast and

Super-duper far.

Oh, what an interesting

Discovery, sid. You know, the

Word scientists use for "oomph"

Is "force."

Oh, force.

So, just like you discovered,

If you use lots of force to move

Something, it moves really fast

And really far.

Ooh! Ooh, yeah! Because we

Were investigating how the swing

Over there moves a lot when you

Push it with lots of--of--wait,

Um, what was that word again?

Force.

Oh, yeah! Force!

What a great investigation.

Well, you'’re all going to love

The science center because it'’s

The perfect place to

Investigate force. Come on.

Let'’s get on the bus.

Yeah! I can'’t wait to go!

♪ Field trip, here we go!

Good times on the way

Field trip

Come on, let'’s go!

We'’ve got a lot to learn today ♪

Ha ha ha!

Hey, you'’re a scientist. You

Can go to a science center, too.

Field trip to the science

Center! Ha ha ha!

Here we go!

Yay!

Whoa.

Wow! Cool!

This is so neat!

Wow! Oh, hey, look at all

These big pictures!

I love this place.

Welcome to the science

Center. This is called the

Exploration room, so let'’s

Explore and investigate force.

Who can tell me about your force

Investigation on the playground?

Ooh! Oh, I can! So, ok, I sat

On the swing like this. Yeah.

And then may pushed me with

A little bit of force.

[Giggles]

Right, and then he moved just

A teeny, tiny bit.

And then I pushed gerald with

Lots of force.

Yeah, and he went really high

In the air.

Yeah, and I went really fast,

Too, like this. I'’m going up!

Whee! I'’m going down! I'm going

Back up! Wow! I'’m going back

Down!

Interesting. So who provided

The force in your investigation?

Um...oh, oh, we did.

Yeah, yeah, we pushed gerald.

Very good, and here at the

Science center, we can do

Another investigation to observe

What happens when we use a

Little or a lot of force.

Are we going to push someone

In a swing?

Nope. Instead of using

Yourselves as the force, we'’re

Going to use that.

[Orchestral fanfare]

Wow! Neat-o!

That'’s really huge.

What do you do with it?

This is called an air cannon.

Oh!

It launches tennis balls like

This one way up into the sky

Out of this...tube. Whoosh!

And here'’s the best part: you

Can pump air into the cannon

With this handle.

Cool!

Neat!

If you pump in a little air,

It creates a little bit of force

And the ball doesn'’t sh**t out

Very fast.

Oh, yeah, so it won'’t go

Very far.

You'’re right, sid. But what

Happens if I pump up the cannon

With lots of air and create

A lot of force?

Oh, I know. The ball will fly

Out really fast and go really

Far into the sky.

Oh! Oh! Like this. Vroom!

That'’s right. Sound like fun?

Yeah!

Ok, let the first

Investigation begin.

Yay!

Hey, you'’re a scientist.

You can try this, too.

It'’s time for the first

Investigation with this giant

Tennis ball air cannon. First,

Load a tennis ball into the air

Cannon. Next, pump up the cannon

Two times. Pumping the cannon

Just a little will create

A little bit of force. Ok, time

To launch the tennis ball.

With just a little bit of force,

The tennis ball traveled this

Far. Now, let'’s try pumping up

The air cannon times, so the

Tennis ball launches with more

Force. Ok, launch that tennis

Ball. Wow! With more force, the

Tennis ball traveled even

Farther.

Now let'’s pump up the air cannon

Times, so the ball launches

With lots of force.

Here it goes. Look at that!

The tennis ball went so far, it

Hit the top of the ceiling and

Fell down! Ok, now let'’s try

Something really fun. You want

To figure out how much force to

Use to launch a tennis ball so

It hits this target. How many

Times do you think we should

Pump up the cannon to reach the

Target? One time? Ok, let'’s

Investigate.

Hmm, it didn'’t go far enough.

Looks like you need more force.

You want to try pumps? Let'’s

Keep investigating. Uh-oh. That

Was too much force. How many

Pumps would create the perfect

Amount of force? Two pumps?

Let'’s try it. Ready, and launch

The ball.

You did it! You hit the target!

Great job, scientists. You'’re

Our force experts.

Mmm. I ate all my lunch. Now

Super sid has lots of energy.

Ha ha ha! Go, super sid!

Yay!

Super sid, can you really

Kick a ball super fast?

Why, yes, I can, gabriela.

Oh, I know what you need--

Your own superhero song.

Yeah!

Ok.

Ok, ok.

A game where we were

Superheroes.

Yeah, and we used lots of

Force to kick giant space rocks

Whoo! All right, sid. Tell me

About the science center.

It was amazing!

We investigated force. Did you

Know that using lots of force

Makes something move super fast

And really far?

Oh, yeah, I know a thing or

Two about force. I learned about

It while playing my favorite

Game. When I was a little girl,

I was a champion at the game of

Marbles. Whoo hoo! I was good.

Ha ha ha! When you play the

Game, you use your thumb to

Flick a marble so it hits and

Moves another marble out of the

Way. Yeah! And I had a special

Move I called the

Flicker-oozy-doozy. Ooh! I used

My thumb to flick a marble as

Hard as I could, with lots of

Force, and it would send that

Old marble super fast, zoom, and

Smash right into another marble,

Knocking it out of the way.

That'’s the move that made me

A marble champion. That'’s right.

I never lost my marbles. Ha ha

Ha ha! Whoa ho! Grandma'’s funny.

Yes, you are. And, grandma,

Hearing your story gave me a

Great idea.

Oh.

I love soccer and you love

Marbles, so let'’s make up a new

Game that has a little of both

The games we love.

Oh, that'’s a great idea. So

What should we call our new

Game?

Oh, um...how about

Marble-ball?

Center and investigated force.

Ha ha ha! Yeah, I learned that

Using a little bit of force

Makes something move just a

Little bit. Hmm, hmm. But using

A lot of force makes something

Move super fast and really far!

Hey, I just thought of

Something. What if you wanted

To make something move really,

Really, really, really far?

Ok, I'’ve got it! Here's my

Super-duper-uper-schmooper big

Idea! I'’m going to invent the

Best amusement-park ride in the

Whole world. It'’s called the

Fun force rocket ride. It'’s a

Rocket ride that is powered by

Force. It'’ll have a big club,

Kind of like a golf club. Then,

If you want the ride to move

Slowly, then the giant club will

Swing back just a little and

Then, bonk! Into the rocket with

A little bit of force. Boink.

Whee, that'’s fun! But if you

Want to move really far, then

You'’ll need lots of force, so

The giant club will swing all

The way back and then really

Smack into the rocket ship with

Lots of force. Bonk!

Hold on tight. The fun force

Rocket ride will be the best

Ride in the whole world.

Whoo hoo! And that'’s my

Super-duper-uper-schmooper big

Idea! Yay!
