Hey there! Have you ever noticed how shadows move around during the day? Let me tell you a fun story about Zach, Mika, and Rex, who learned all about shadows and sunlight!
One day, Mika was hiding in a bush because she thought a shadow was following her. Zach and Rex were curious, so they decided to figure out what was going on. They discovered that the shadow was actually from a tree. But why did it keep moving?
Rex thought the tree was moving, but Mika explained that it was the sun moving across the sky. The sun shines bright, and when it moves, the shadows change too. Isn’t that cool?
To avoid shadows, Zach and Mika looked for a place with no trees, just open sky. They found a sunny spot where Mika could recharge her energy. While waiting, Zach took a nap, and Rex did circles. It was a fun way to learn about how the sun and shadows work!
Later, Zach needed to cross a lake to see something amazing that Rex had found. Fran the Fairy gave Zach a ride across the water. They saw a big log that Rex wanted to take to a construction site. Fran was strong enough to carry it, and they all had a great time traveling together!
After their adventure, Zach and Rex found a big puddle to play in. They drove through it, but it was too deep for Zach. Rex realized he was taller, so the puddle didn’t seem as deep to him. They decided to add dirt to make the puddle shallower, so everyone could enjoy it.
When they tried to make the puddle shallower with dirt, it didn’t work because they used sand instead of dirt. Sand and water make wet sand, not mud! They learned that to make mud, you need dirt and water. Once they got the right mix, they had the best Mud Fest ever!
Through their adventures, Zach, Mika, and Rex learned a lot about shadows, sunlight, and even how to make mud. They discovered that trying new things and working together can be a lot of fun!
So next time you see a shadow or play in a puddle, remember the fun adventures of Zach, Mika, and Rex. Keep exploring and learning new things every day!
Shadow Tracking Adventure: Go outside on a sunny day with a friend or family member. Choose an object like a stick or a toy and place it upright on the ground. Use chalk to trace the shadow it casts. Come back every hour to trace the new shadow. Notice how the shadow changes throughout the day. Discuss why you think the shadow moves and what this tells you about the sun’s movement in the sky.
Sun and Shadow Art: Create a sun and shadow artwork! Gather some paper, crayons, and a flashlight. In a dark room, use the flashlight to create shadows of different objects on the paper. Trace the shadows with crayons to make fun shapes and designs. Talk about how the flashlight acts like the sun and how it helps us see shadows.
Question Time: Think about these questions and discuss them with your friends or family:

[Music]
Hey, did you see that, Zach? No? I don’t have the power. Let’s go check on Mika.
Okay, where did she go? Mika? Hey, Zach, Mika’s not here. I’ll go find her.
Okay, here we go.
Oh, there you are! Hey, Zach, I found Mika. She’s over this way. Come on, I’ll show you.
Okay, here we go.
Hey, Zach, over here!
Why are you in that bush, Mika?
I’m hiding. The shadow is following me.
What?
They must do that. When I woke up, I was in the shade again. The shadow crept up and covered me while I was asleep.
I don’t know about that. I think we just need to try again and figure it out.
So, is this the shadow?
Yeah, that’s the one. It keeps moving.
Hey, look at that! This shadow is being cast by this tree. You see it?
Oh yeah, look at that! But why does it keep moving?
Oh, I know! It’s because the tree keeps moving. I have to stop it.
Okay, tree, you stop moving right now!
No, Rex, that’s not the problem.
Uh, I don’t know what to do with him.
Come on, the tree’s not moving.
No, that’s not the problem. It’s the sun.
The sun?
Yeah, the sun makes the bright light. The sun shines, and the tree blocks it. So if the tree is standing still, I think it’s the sun that’s moving behind the tree.
The sun moves?
Okay, I’ll try to stop the sun from moving.
Okay, stop, sun! I’m trying to reach it!
Zach, we don’t need to stop the sun.
What?
No, all we need to do is find a place where there’s no chance of shade or shadows. Somewhere with nothing but open sky between you and your sun.
Where’s that?
We’ll have to try again. Come on, let’s look around.
Yeah, let’s do it!
Hey, what about here?
Yeah, this is really open here. No trees nearby that will cast any shadows.
Yeah, this is the perfect place to recharge.
Just in the nick of time! My low battery warning light is on.
How long until you’re charged?
Not long at all, Zach.
Okay, great! I’m just going to take a nap while we wait.
Well, I’m not tired at all. I’m going to do circles while we wait.
[Music]
Hello, Zach! You seem to be in a hurry this morning.
I am! Rex radioed to me and said he had something amazing I needed to see.
What is it?
I don’t know, but he said it was huge. He’s meeting me across the lake.
Across the lake? Right over there?
Yeah! Can you give me a ride?
Well, I’m Fran the Fairy. I’m all about giving rides, but first you have to put on your life jacket.
Oh, right! Okay, hold on.
Okay, first I put this part on, and then I tie this.
See? Off the boards!
Okay, going up!
What?
Okay, hold on. Let me just get turned around.
What? Wait, turn!
I keep hitting this railing.
Okay, there we go! Now I’m turned around. Let’s go, Fran!
All right, here we go!
I love getting rides across the water!
I love giving rides!
Wow, the water looks pretty shallow here. Are you hitting the bottom?
Oh no, I don’t hit the bottom in this part of the lake.
Well, that’s great news! Now we can go see Rex and go fast!
Go faster, Fran!
Hold on! I haven’t even turned around yet!
Look, there’s the lighthouse!
Hi, lighthouse!
Hello, Rex!
Hey, Zach! That was fast!
Yeah, Fran gave me a ride across the lake. What do you have?
Look, it’s a log!
Wow, it’s big!
Is that what you wanted to show me, Rex?
Yeah! Isn’t this log huge?
It’s huger than huge! What are you going to do with it?
Well, there’s a construction site across the lake, and I thought I’d take it there.
Well, that’s great! I’ll give you a ride.
Are you sure it’s not too heavy, Fran?
Oh, I’m very stable. No problem!
All right, here we go!
[Music]
All right, hang on everyone!
Here we go!
I love getting rides on Fran!
Yeah, it’s so much faster traveling this way, and it’s much more fun too!
All right, here we are! Let me just pull up to the shore.
Oh, what happened?
I think we ran aground.
Did we hit the bottom?
Well, it wasn’t just a few minutes ago. Fran and I drove right up to the shore.
It’s okay, just let me back up and we’ll try again.
I’ll put my high-powered Zurby engines to work!
[Music]
Nope! I don’t understand. Even my high-powered Zurby engines can’t move me.
Uh, what should we do?
I know! Fran, call Bob!
Uh, this is Bob. What do you need?
Fran, do you think you could give me a bit of a push?
Sure thing! I’m on my way!
Hi, Zurby’s! What’s going on?
Well, I seem to hit the bottom here, and I can’t seem to get to the beach. I was wondering if you could give me a push, Bob.
Well, no problem! I’ll just go with a big…
That was awesome!
Oh, what else can we do?
Oh, I know what we can do! It’s just over here!
Come on!
Okay, wait! Hold on, Zach! I’ve got to flip over!
Oh, you need some help?
No, I think I can do it.
Here, let me just see here… Whoa!
Wow, that was amazing!
I know! I’ve never done that before!
Look, we could drive through this puddle!
Oh, that looks great! You want to go first?
Yeah! Okay, ready, set, turbo!
Are you going to come in, Rex?
Oh yeah, I’ll come in, but you got to make room for me!
Okay, okay! Making room! Here we go!
Hey, look at this! I can go back and forth!
Yeah, you’re really good at that!
Let’s go down this way, Rex!
What? Down this way?
Yeah, come on! There’s more puddle over there!
Come on, Rex!
Okay!
Oh, Rex! The puddle is getting deeper!
Yeah, but not too deep!
It seems pretty deep!
I don’t think so!
What are you talking about? It’s almost in my eyes!
It’s too deep for me, Rex!
No, it’s only about halfway up my grill!
Oh, okay, maybe I was wrong. Let me just check…
No, no! It gets too deep here, Rex!
Okay, let’s back up and see if we can figure this out.
Hmm, it doesn’t seem to be too deep to me.
How come it wasn’t as deep for you as it was for me?
Oh, look! I’m much taller than you!
Oh yeah! So the puddle doesn’t seem as deep for you, but it looks like we’re going to need to come up with a way I can get across this puddle.
Well, what if I put some dirt in the puddle? That will make it shallower!
All right, dirt!
Yeah, yeah! Let’s do it!
Okay!
Hi, Phil! Can I have a load of dirt, please?
Sure thing, Rex!
I love watching you move dirt, Phil! You make it look so easy!
Well, I really like it!
Okay, here we go!
Rex, first I’ll get some dirt and scoop it up.
Lifting! And there we go! Rex, dropping some dirt!
How’s that?
Thanks, Phil! That’s great!
No problem, Zurby’s!
Thanks, Phil! Come to me if you need any more dirt!
There! Go a little further!
Not yet!
Well, where’s the deep part?
Don’t worry! You’ll know where the deep part is!
All right, because it’ll get deep!
All right, there it is!
Okay!
That should make it shallower!
Here I go! Driving across! La la la!
Hey, what’s going on?
I can feel the dirt, but it’s getting less and less!
Where’s it going?
I think the dirt is getting mixed into the water. That’s why the water here looks so… well, dirty!
Well, we need it to stay on the bottom! If it mixes with the water, then I have nothing to drive on, and the puddle will still be too deep!
I agree! It looks like we need to try again!
We need something that won’t mix into the water!
Like what?
Oh, I know just the thing! Let’s go!
Okay, let’s go!
Where are we going?
Wait! Wait! I got…
Zach! Zach! I’m here! Do you need a pull?
Oh, hi, Strut! There you are!
Uh, yes! Can you give me a pull, please?
No problem! I’ll just put out my struts, lift my boom arm, lower my hook…
And here we go!
One, two, three!
Oh, you didn’t quite reach me, Strut!
Yeah, it’s only about halfway!
I see! Let me try again!
First, I’ll have to wind in my hook again.
Let’s see… Yes! Getting it set up!
About… uh, right about there! That looks good!
All right, here we go!
One, two, three!
The hook still isn’t far enough, Strut!
You might be too far out for me to reach, Zach!
Yeah, I should have checked the mud before I jumped all the way into the middle like this.
I guess we can’t have Mud Fest here. It’s just too hard to rescue Zerbies from so far away.
Well, we still have to get you out, Zach!
We just have to try again!
Chase, have you tried lifting him out?
I can only carry things that are light, like leaves or pine cones.
Oh, wait a minute! The answer’s right in front of my face! My hook is light!
Chase, do you think you can carry it?
Well, let me give it a try!
All right, here we go!
Getting the hook on my skid…
And lifting! Lifting!
Ha-ha! Yes! Your hook is light enough for me to carry!
Uh, now what, Strut?
Now carry my hook out to Zach!
That’s a great idea, Strut! Go slowly so I can keep unwinding the cable!
You got it, Zach!
Oh, look at this! I’m helping! Haha!
Oh, where do you want it, Zach?
Find my bumper, please!
Okay!
All right, let me get her hooked on there!
Yeah!
I’ll have you out of that mud in no time, Zach!
Okay, hold me straight!
Ah! It’s working!
You’re coming out of the mud!
Hey, Chase! You know what this means?
What?
We can have Mud Fest here after all!
As long as you can help! I get to be part of Mud Fest!
That’s amazing! I’m in! I’ll tell the other Zerbies!
[Music]
Oh, I’m stuck! Here I come, Lily!
Oh, great! Thanks, Chase!
No problem, Lily!
All right, pull away, Strut!
Okay, pulling!
Hey, Chase! How are you liking Mud Fest?
Well, I love it! Look, I even have a little bit of mud on my own!
That’s great! I declare this the best Mud Fest ever!
Yeah!
I’m stuck, Chase!
Oh, I’ve got to go save another Zerby!
Okay, see ya!
Bye, Chase!
Learn my path!
That’s your axel!
Next day…
Next thing…
Okay, Zach, look up!
Okay, here comes more dirt!
Dumping!
I can’t mix any more, Rex!
Can you mix it up?
Sure, I can! Here I go!
It’s mix mixer!
It’s even less muddy than before!
I’m so confused!
I guess we need to try again!
Well, we tried adding more dirt. That didn’t work.
How about we add more water?
Okay!
Dr. Walter, can you bring another load of water, please?
Sure, Zach! I’ll be right there!
[Music]
It looks like it did before, and it’s still not muddy!
I guess we have to try again!
I know! Let’s look around! Answers are everywhere!
Okay, let’s go!
Let’s see… Uh, moss?
We could put the moss in the mud and make… uh, soup?
No, I guess not. Bye, moss!
Maybe we could use this stick to mix up the mud, but we were mixing pretty well. I don’t think mixing is the answer.
Huh, more dirt?
No, we already tried that!
No, I’ve got dirt over here, Rex!
What have you got over there?
Just more dirt!
How come your dirt looks different from my dirt?
It does?
Oh, wait a minute! Let me see!
Well, that’s dirt! See? Brown and dirt-like!
Yeah, and this dirt is… wait a minute! This isn’t dirt! This is sand!
Hey, yeah! That is sand!
Is that what you were using?
I don’t remember!
Hey, Phil! Phil!
Hey, what’s going on, Zerbies?
What did you load me up with before?
Sand! Good old, hoary, buildy sand!
So when you add water to sand, what do you get?
You get… uh…
Wet sand?
Uh, I guess not mud!
No, no! You have to add water and dirt to get mud!
Sand and dirt are different!
Oh, I never really thought about that!
So do you want dirt?
Yes, please!
Yeah, yeah! We want dirt!
There! All the sand is out of the hole!
You ready to add the dirt, Rex?
Yep! Jumping!
Dirt!
All right, here comes the water!
Hey, it looks muddy already!
Yeah! Mix it up, Rex!
All right!
Try it!
Hey, Walter!
Do you want to play in the mud with us?
No thanks! I’m working on something!
What’s that?
Well, a sand and water mix may not make mud, but it makes super sand sculptures!
Wow, that’s great!
Now this trail has two fun things!
Yeah! We’ve got that sand derby, and we’ve got the mud!
Yeah, mud and sand derby!
Yeah!
That’s in derby!
Kind of looks like me!
Did you make it look like me on purpose?
Of course!
