ClassX Video Lessons Grade Kindergarten Zerby Derby ????️????️ Building Big Things ???? Clip Compilation ⚙️ Kids Cars
Hey there! Do you like building things? Today, we’re going to learn about how some friends built a ramp to get to the top of a big log. Let’s see how they did it!
Our friends wanted to climb up a big log, so they decided to make a ramp using sand. They worked together, lifting and moving the sand to make it into a ramp. But, oh no! The sand kept falling down and wouldn’t stay in place.
They thought, “If the sand won’t stay, let’s make the pile bigger!” So, they added more and more sand. It was fun to move the sand around, and soon they had a big pile. But when they tried to drive up, the sand was too soft, and their wheels just spun around.
They needed to make the ramp stronger. Then, they saw their friend Walter, who was wetting the sand. He explained that wet sand holds together better. What a great idea! They decided to add water to their ramp to make it stronger.
With the sand all wet, they tried again. This time, the ramp held together, and they could drive right up to the top of the log. Hooray!
After the ramp, they wanted to build something new. They thought about making a water trench, which is like a little river. They dug a ditch and filled it with water. It was so much fun!
They also needed a bridge to cross the water. They found some big sticks and laid them across the ditch. Now, they could drive over the water safely!
Finally, they decided to build the best jump ever! They wanted to jump over a puddle and a branch. They made a ramp that was just right for jumping high and far. It was so exciting!
Building things can be a lot of fun, especially when you work with friends. You can try different ideas, and if something doesn’t work, you can always try again. Remember, answers are everywhere, and you can learn something new every day!
What will you build today?
Experiment with Sand: Let’s explore how sand behaves! Gather some sand and a small container of water. Try building a small ramp with dry sand and see what happens when you try to roll a toy car over it. Then, wet the sand and build the ramp again. What do you notice? Which ramp is stronger? Talk about why wet sand might hold together better than dry sand.
Build Your Own Ramp: Use household items like cardboard, books, or blocks to create your own ramp. Try different materials to see which ones make the best ramp for your toy cars or marbles. Can you make a ramp that goes higher or one that makes your car go faster? Share your ramp with a friend and see if they can improve it!
Observe Ramps in the Real World: Next time you’re outside, look for ramps around you. Where do you see them? Are they in playgrounds, sidewalks, or buildings? Why do you think ramps are important? Draw a picture of a ramp you see and think about how it helps people or things move from one place to another.

[Music]
I heard you guys needed my help. Are we building something?
Yeah, we want to get to the top of this log, so we’re going to pile a bunch of sand right here and make it into a ramp.
Let’s build!
Okay, thank you!
Lift!
All right, good!
Left!
Perfect! You guys are really good at this!
Isn’t it staying together very well? Here, let me try. We just need to shape this part here to push it up.
It’s not working. You’re right. No matter how we try to shape it into a ramp, the sand just keeps falling back down.
Well then, we need to try again. If we can’t change the shape of this sand pile, then we have to make it big enough to reach the top of the log on its own.
More sand! Good thing it’s so fun to move!
This is turning into a really big jump!
Big jumps are what we do best!
All right, one more load. How to do it? Stretch and release!
It’s all the way to the top now!
All right, let’s get on top of that log!
Okay, tell you what, I’m going to give you a little boost!
So close! Good try, Zach!
My tires just kept spinning. I think this sand is too soft to drive up. We have to find some way to make the ramp stronger.
We have to try again! Let’s look around and see if we can find something that will help us.
Answers are everywhere!
Good idea! Let’s go!
Do you have any idea?
Oh hey, it’s Walter and Jake!
Hey, Walter!
What are you doing?
Oh hey, Zach! Well, I was just wetting the sand.
Wetting the sand?
Yeah, when the sand is wet, it’s a lot easier to drive on.
Oh hey, that gives me an idea! Come on, Walter, follow me!
Okay, uh, where are we going?
What’s going on?
We built a ramp by the launch! It’s really cool!
Where?
Oh hi, Walter! What are you doing here?
Walter’s going to help us! The way to fix our ramp is to get water. It will make it stronger. Wet sand seems to hold together better than dry sand, so I thought we’d try giving it a good soaking.
Well guess what? I’m the guy to do just that!
Okay, stand back! Here comes the water!
All right, there you go!
Over that side and up high and low! Get the whole thing wet!
There we go! That’s one wet ramp! I guarantee it!
I’m gonna go try it out!
Go, Zach! You can do it!
All right, you can do it!
Huh, it’s holding together! My wheels aren’t slipping!
Hey!
[Applause]
What are you doing with my garage?
Oh hi, Zach! I’m sorry, I didn’t realize you were home. We were gonna surprise you with our new idea!
Oh fine, I’m ready to be surprised now! Tell me what it is!
We call it the “Zerby Apartments”!
Whoa! It’s amazing! Where’s my garage gonna be?
On the top! See, my garage is on the bottom because it’s big, so it makes a good base. Then we have wooden platforms and more garages on top!
Oh wow!
All right, Zach, time to lift your garage!
Okay, let’s do it! Lifting!
Great! Zerby Apartments! I can’t wait!
Okay, Zach, your turn! Yay!
All right, man!
Okay, okay, wait! Gotcha!
Hi, Zach! Zerby Apartments!
[Music]
And there!
Oh wow! I can see all of Zerby Town from up here! This is great!
I declare the Zerby Apartments done!
So how do I get down?
Oh, uh, we never thought of that. I guess we’re not completely done just yet.
Hmm…
We should build a ramp out of dirt! That’s something we’ve done before!
Of course! So simple! Stand by, Axel! We’re building you a ramp!
No problem! I’ll just tidy up my garage a bit.
Yeah! Scooping!
[Music]
Loading!
Stopping!
You okay?
The ramp is ready to go! Try it out, Axel!
Like it?
Yeah!
Well, it works great!
Rex, I declare the Zerby Apartments done!
Uh, how do I get down?
Oh right, not done yet! Here comes the hook!
And lifting!
[Music]
Yeah!
Wait a minute! Up, down! I’ve got it!
Going on surveys! I know the answer!
What is it?
Look! I can make Zach go up and down! See?
And what’s going on?
Oh, but we can’t call you every time we need to go up or down!
I know! But what if we made something on a cable just like mine that lifted Zerbies up and down just like this?
Oh, Zach, we’re ready!
Wow! What’s this?
Oh, it’s an elevator! It’s a Zerby elevator!
Yeah, you see, one Zerby holds the rope like this, and you can make the elevator go up or down!
Ah, it works! I’m here!
Hey! Can we use it to get up?
Of course! Up and down!
Come on, Phil! Let’s find the other construction Zerbies!
I say something about building! I’d like to build something!
Well, what?
Maybe we could make a water trench!
A trench?
Yeah! First we dig a ditch, then we fill it with water!
That sounds like fun! Where do you want to build it?
How about right here?
Okay, let’s go!
I think it’s good!
[Applause]
Here we go!
There you go! Looking good, Zerbies!
I think we’re almost done!
Wait!
What’s going on?
We’re building a water trench! It’s a ditch right now, but as soon as we add water, it’ll be a water trench!
Aha! I see! Well, it sounds like fun, but it’s kind of in the middle of the road!
Hey, come on over here!
What’s going on?
I guess a ditch in the middle of the road isn’t the best idea!
Right! Well, we have to try again!
Good idea! You need to wait for Zerbies to get across while you’re working on it!
I know just the thing! We’ll put some dirt back and leave it to the end! That way there’s something for Zerbies to cross while we’re working!
Yeah, that makes a lot of sense! Let’s do it! Ready?
[Applause]
Okay! Get them all bundled up here! Tie them up! Raising them up! Get them in place!
Wow! Look at them lowering them down!
That’s good!
Yeah, it works! All right, let’s do it!
Uh, I still can’t reach you, Rex! You have to come a little further forward!
Phil, my scoop hits the sticks here!
It’s okay! All we need to do is take the ditch deeper, and then we’ll be able to go under!
But we’d have to get rid of the bridge while we were digging, and Zerbies still need to use it!
Oh, looking good, guys! All right! This is much harder than I thought it would be!
Well, you know what we say when we’re stuck?
Oh, time for a nap?
No! Answers are everywhere!
Oh right! I forgot! Let’s look around and see if we can come up with an answer!
Okay, that sounds good!
I wish I could dump this load of dirt before we go searching! It’s pretty heavy, but these sticks are still in the way!
That’s all right! I’ll just move the sticks for you, Phil!
[Music]
Hold on, Axel! Not yet! They’re moving the sticks!
Oh, okay!
Neat bridge! Lifting!
Oh, okay! I can reach you now, Rex!
Okay, here I come!
That’s good!
Okay, we can go look for answers after this!
All right! But you can lower the bridge now!
All right! Okay! Lowering the bridge!
All right! Bridge crossing time!
Okay, see you later!
All right! Now we can finish the trench!
Congratulations, Zerbies!
Okay, so how are we gonna do this?
Oh, it’s easy! I’m just gonna fill the ditch with dirt right here in the middle so the Zerbies can get across!
Oh, that’s a great idea!
Okay, here I go!
Okay, keep coming! Keep coming, Rex! Keep coming!
And stop!
[Applause]
There we go!
Oh, it’s ought to do it!
Okay, let’s get more dirt!
Get them some more!
And dumping!
Just a little more!
Okay, I’m gonna try it!
Uh-huh!
Good work, Rex!
Oh hey there, guys!
Hey! Who put this here?
It’s a bridge!
Oh, but I wanted to drive through the ditch!
The ditch is so much fun!
Oh yeah, I guess the dirt here makes it hard to drive through the ditch!
Yeah, I didn’t think of that!
Looks like we’ll have to try again!
Yeah, try again!
Oh yeah! Do you see anything?
Nope, nothing but my best buddy!
Oh, but wait! What about this stick?
What? This stick right here?
Yeah, that one!
I don’t get it!
Well, I’m thinking maybe we can put this stick across the ditch like a bridge!
Oh, a bridge! You’re a genius, Rex!
But we’re gonna need two sticks because we have wheels on both sides!
Oh, good point! Let’s find another stick just like this one!
Okay!
No thanks for taking out the dirt!
My pleasure! See you later!
Ready for the sticks?
Yep!
Okay!
[Music]
Now that I look at these sticks, I think they might be too small!
Oh hey, guys!
Oh, look! There’s a bridge!
Oh, can I drive across?
I think these sticks are too small, Spike!
Oh no! The sticks are fine! They’re gonna break!
Spike, no! They won’t break!
Hey! The sticks broke!
Told you! Looks like we’ll have to try again!
Need help, Spike?
Oh yeah, a little! We gotta figure something out!
Um, oh hey, Rex! Wait! What about this big stick over here?
Wood stick? This one?
Where?
All I see is you, Zach, because you’re not looking at the stick!
Wood stick! It’s over here!
Right! I still don’t see it!
No, it’s just right here!
Look right there!
Oh yeah!
Hey, Zach! Look! A stick!
Yeah!
Okay, Rex! Look! The last sticks broke because they were too small, right?
Oh yeah! So if we use bigger sticks like this one, maybe they’ll be strong enough!
Oh, big sticks are stronger! That’s smart!
But you know what we’re gonna need, right?
Two sticks!
Okay! We gotta find a second one just like this one!
Okay!
Let’s try this again!
Come on back!
Do you think they’ll break?
No, they look pretty strong!
Okay, here it goes!
Careful!
Careful!
About the bridge!
It works!
There you go, guys!
Do you want some more dirt?
This is so much fun!
Thank you!
There’s some more dirt for you!
Do you want any more?
I think we’re good!
All right! Where should we put it?
Uh, well, it depends on what we’re building!
Uh, let’s build something we’ve never built before!
Like what?
I don’t know! We’ve built lots of things!
Hey! Hey, guys! What are you building today?
Well, the thing is, we don’t know! We wanted to build something different! Something new! Something we’ve never built before!
I know! What about building a jump?
Uh, we build jumps all the time!
Yeah, we do!
Yeah! Long jumps, short jumps, slow jumps, high jumps, jumpy jumps!
Yeah, but have you built the best jump ever?
The best jump ever?
No! No! The best jump ever!
Oh, that sounds neat! Let’s do it!
All right! Let’s go!
Come on!
[Music]
What’s going on?
Well, we’re gonna build the best jump ever!
The best jump ever!
Hey, sir! Come check it out!
I’ve got missing this!
Wait for me!
Okay!
Okay!
This pedal right here?
Yeah?
Well, I’d like to be able to jump really far right over this puddle!
Oh, we’ve never built one to go over a puddle!
Let’s go!
Oh, wait! Wait! In order for it to be the best jump ever, I also want to be able to jump high over that branch!
We’ve never built one to go over a tree branch either!
So both high and far?
Yep! No problem! Let’s go!
Okay!
That’s perfect! Here we go!
Way to go, Zerbies! Another great Zerby construction!
Yeah! Wow! That ramp is looking great! You should try it!
Yeah, it sure is!
Okay, so here we go! Have fun, Axel!
Ready, set…
Yeah, but I don’t know if it worked!
What do you mean?
Well, you see, this jump makes you go far, but you didn’t get over that branch! In fact, you’re not going very high at all!
Oh right! Good point!
Well, you know we can always try again!
What’s that? Are we trying again?
Yeah! Yeah! All we have to do is build another jump so I can go higher!
You got it! Come on, Zerbies!
There we go! All right! Come on, guys!
I think we did it!
Wow! This jump looks a lot different than the first one!
Yep! This one’s very short and steep!
Go for it, Axel!
Okay, here I go!
Good luck with this one, Axel!
Go forward!
Okay, ready?
[Applause]
Whoa!
