[bunniefuu]

Hey, scientists. It'’s

Me--sid! My dad planned a big

Backyard camping adventure.

We'’re going to sing songs and

Camp in the backyard, and guess

What! You'’re invited to join us

For this special episode of

"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

Make that very, very

Excited. I'’ll tell you why. Dad

Organized a special campout in

The backyard tonight for me and

My friend gerald! Ha ha!

♪ Beautiful trees

You know, we love them

Beautiful trees

We need more of them

They take in carbon dioxide

Through their leaves

And put out oxygen

For everyone to breathe

Trees, beautiful trees ♪

Psshhoo!

Yay! Dad, I can'’t wait for

The campout!

Oh, me, too, sid, and you

Are gonna love sleeping outside

Under the beautiful stars,

Surrounded by nature. Oh, it'’s

Gonna be great.

Oh, boy!

Ok, sid. After lunch, the

Adventure begins!

Yay! Adventure!

Ha ha ha!

♪ Beautiful trees

Hey. I just thought of

Something. Dad says I'’m gonna

Love sleeping outside in

Nature, but how exactly do you

Sleep outside? Um, I mean, all

My stuffed animals are inside,

And all my toys are inside, and

All my clothes are inside, our

Kitchen is inside, all our

Furniture is inside, and most

Importantly, my bed is inside.

Where will I sleep outside if I

Don'’t have a bed? Hmm. I am

Excited for the campout, but

Now I just got to know how am I

Going to sleep outside in the...

Backyard?

[Echoing]

Hey, camper sid. Lunchtime!

Camper sid? That'’s me! Ha!

Ok. I'’m coming, mom. Iiiit's

Lunchtiiiiime!

Errr!

Hi, mom! Hi, zekey!

It'’s camper sid!

Sid-a!

Heh heh. Aw, little zekey.

Sorry you can'’t go camping with

Us tonight.

That'’s right, zeke. Camping

Outside is a big boy activity.

Yeah, zeke.

Helloooo, camper sid!

Hello, camper dad! Um, I

Have a question.

Ok.

Well, all our stuff is

Inside the house, so how are we

Gonna eat and sleep outside?

No problem. I have

Everything we need to camp

Outside right here with my

Backpack. Ha ha!

Ooh!

See? I'’ve got clothes,

Lantern, flashlights, blanket,

Extra socks, sunblock, food,

And two tents!

Wow! All that stuff fit into

The backpack?

Yeah.

You sure you brought enough

Stuff?

Oh, absolutely. I'’m

Following the first rule of

Camping--you should only carry

In what you plan to carry out

Because you can'’t leave

Anything behind, no food, no

Trash, nothing.

Wow! Dad, you know a lot

About camping. I want to be a

Super camper, too!

Ha! Well, don'’t worry, sid.

I'’m gonna teach you and gerald

Everything I know about camping

In the great outdoors.

Oh, great.

[Doorbell rings]

Huh?

Oh. Speaking of gerald, that

Must be him.

I'’ll go get the door.

Ok.

Ugh. Alice, can you help me get

This off?

Oh, oh.

I think I might have put the

Straps too tight.

Hi, sid!

It'’s gerald! Hi, gerald.

Hi, sid!

Yay, gerald! Oh, great job

Packing for the campout. Looks

Like you fit everything you

Need into your backpack.

What, this little, old

Backpack? Ha! No. This just has

The extra batteries for all the

Toys I brought. Ha ha.

Oh.

[Groaning]

You brought a whole suitcase

Full of stuff for the campout?

No. Of course not. That

Would be silly.

Phew.

I brought two suitcases full

Of stuff. Ha ha!

Wow!

Ok. Let'’s see. I brought two

Kinds of pajamas, all my toys,

Ping pong balls, my

Flip-flops in case my feet get

Hot, my fuzzy bear slippers,

You know, in case my feet get

Cold, my toothbrush, my bongo

Drums, and of course my stuffed

Teddy bear mr. Coconut. He, um,

Sleeps next to me on my pillow.

Ah. I see. Well, remember,

You should only bring what you

Absolutely need on the camping

Trip. Maybe you should think

About leaving some stuff behind.

Well, ok. I'’ll try.

Ok, boys. Eat a good lunch.

Then let'’s meet on the patio to

Start the campout adventure!

Yay!

Oh, this is so exciting.

Oh, alice, it'’s gonna be

Fun! I'’m feeling it!

Ok. I'’m ready!

Ah. Great. Where'’s gerald?

Oh. Um, well...

I'’m coming!

[Grunting]

Oh. Hi, sid'’s family. Ha ha! I

Put everything I need into one

Suitcase, and I didn'’t even

Bring my ping pong balls or my

Slippers.

Way to go, gerald! Ok, boys.

It'’s time to begin the camping

Trip.

Great!

Yeah!

Whoo-hoo!

Bye-bye, alice. Mm-wha!

Mm-wha!

To the backyard!

[Cheering]

Good-bye, mom!

Bye to all my boys. Have a

Great time. I'’ll miss you.

Ahh. Heh heh.

[Grunting]

Huh?

Gah!

Uh, gerald, how about

Leaving that suitcase here, and

If you need it, you'’ll know

Where to find it.

Oh. Great idea, sid'’s dad.

This thing is heavy.

Ok. Let'’s go!

Yay!

Ha ha! This is gonna be fun.

And we'’re here! Heh heh.

Huh?

Yay!

Yay! Ha ha!

You know, I'’ve been camping

Ever since I was a boy your

Age. It'’s one of my favorite

Things to do.

I want to learn how to camp!

Yeah! Me, too!

Ok. Well, first thing we

Need to do is find a nice spot

To set up our campsite. Any

Ideas?

Um, well, it'’s kind of sunny.

Yeah, you'’re right. Well, we

Need someplace cool.

Yeah.

In the shade!

Great idea. In the shade.

And while I set up the tents,

You two can look around for

Some sticks so we can roast

Marshmallows around the

Campfire later.

Wow! Marshmallows!

Marshmallow, marshmallow,

Marshmallow, marshmallow,

Marshmallows!

Ha ha!

You know, I always find that

While I'’m camping in nature

It'’s fun to get some songs

Going. What do you say we sing

While we set up our campsite?

Yeah!

Ok!

All right. Great.

Hey. You can join us on our

Campout and sing with us.

Whoa! There are animals out

Here?

There sure are. You know,

When I went camping as a kid

With my dad, we used to go on a

Wildlife watch.

What'’s a wildlife watch?

Well, you draw pictures in

Your journal of the animals you

Think you might find. Then we

Go exploring to find them.

Sound like fun?

Yeah!

Oh, yeah!

All right. Your journals are

In your tent.

Great.

Come on, sid.

Ok.

I think we'’ll find one of

These and maybe one of these

Animal.

Done!

Done! Ha!

Worm and a spider!

Ah. Very good, sid. Maybe we

Will see those animals.

Hey. Hey. Check out my list.

Ok.

Ok. Um, I drew a squirrel.

Yep. We might see one of

Those.

And some bees.

Very good.

Oh, and a polar bear!

Have to be quiet, right?! Oh...

Now you lead the way.

Ok. Ha ha! Hmm.

That tree is his home. Hmm.

Hey. Let'’s go check it off.

Ok.

Ok.

And bird check. So being a

Good camper means you got to

Move around quietly so you can

See lots of animals.

You got it, sid. There are

Some amazing things to see in

Nature.

Mm-hmm.

Ooh! Hey, guys. I see

Another one!

Huh? What?

Oh. I'’ll give you a hint.

Bzzzzz!

Oh, I know. Bees!

But where?

Look.

Hmm?

Oh, great. Cool.

It looks like they'’re

Talking to each other. I wonder

What they'’re saying. "Bzzz!

Hello, there!"

[Sid and gerald laughing]

We know how bees talk to

Each other!

Yeah! We learned about it at

School. Bees talk to each other

By dancing!

Ah.

Hey, gerald. Let'’s become

Bees and show my dad how it'’s

Done. Bzzz.

Giant panda, and we'’ve been

Studying her for a really long

Time. Pandas are an endangered

Species, which means there

Aren'’t very many of them left

In the wild. That makes our job

Here at the zoo that much more

Important. We study everything

We can about the pandas here,

How much they eat, how much

They rest, how much playtime

They need, and this helps us

Understand what they need to

Survive and thrive in the wild.
