ClassX Video Lessons Youtube Channel 9 Story Kids Zerby Derby |????️| BETWEEN A ROCK | DISAPPEARING LEAF PILE | SWITCHBACK | Season 2 | Full Episodes
One sunny day, the Zerbies were out having fun exploring new trails. They loved discovering new places and seeing all the trees and nature around them. But sometimes, they faced challenges that needed clever thinking to solve!
While exploring, Rex found himself on a little beach. He wanted to get back up to his friends, but the hill was too steep to drive up. Zach suggested trying a different way. Instead of going straight up, Rex decided to drive around the beach to find a less steep path.
Rex and Zach tried different paths, but there were bushes and rocks in the way. They needed to think of another plan. That’s when Rex had an idea! He went to get some rope to help Zach. With teamwork, they tried pulling Zach up the hill, but it was tricky!
While looking for answers, they realized that sometimes the best solutions are right in front of us. They noticed how the wind blew leaves into a hole, keeping them from flying away. This gave them an idea to solve their problem!
Zach and Lily wanted to make a jump more fun. They decided to gather leaves to create a soft landing. But the wind kept blowing the leaves away! They tried using sticks to hold them down, but it wasn’t comfortable to land on.
Finally, they discovered that digging a hole for the leaves kept them from blowing away. This way, they could jump into a soft pile of leaves without worrying about the wind. It was a perfect solution!
Axel and Zach wanted to go fast down a hill, but the road had too many turns. They asked Sandy, the bulldozer, to help make a straight road. It was fun going down, but they couldn’t drive back up because it was too steep!
They learned about a special kind of road called a “switchback.” This road goes back and forth across the hill, making it easier to drive up without being too steep. With Sandy’s help, they created a switchback road, and it worked perfectly!
The Zerbies discovered that answers are everywhere if you look closely. By working together and using creative thinking, they solved their problems and had a lot of fun along the way!
Remember, exploring and solving problems can be an exciting adventure, just like the Zerbies experienced on their trail journey!
Trail Exploration Adventure: Go on a mini-adventure in your backyard or a nearby park. Look for different paths and trails. Try to find a way around obstacles like rocks or bushes, just like Rex and Zach did. Can you find a less steep path to climb a small hill? Draw a map of your adventure and the paths you discovered.
Nature’s Problem Solvers: Observe how nature solves problems. For example, watch how ants find their way around obstacles or how birds build nests. Discuss with a friend or family member what you observed and how it relates to the Zerbies’ adventures. Can you think of a problem you have and how nature might solve it?
Build Your Own Switchback: Use toy cars and blocks or books to create a hill. Try making a straight road and see how steep it is. Then, build a switchback road that zigzags up the hill. Which road is easier for your toy car to climb? Share your findings with the class and explain why switchback roads are helpful.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript, removing any unnecessary filler words and maintaining the essence of the conversation:

[Music]
Have a fun time driving on the trails, Serbies!
Thanks, friend!
Wow, I don’t recognize this trail at all. I love finding new places.
Look, there are all kinds of things over here—trees!
Zach, where are you?
I’m down here!
Rex, are you okay?
Yeah, I’m fine! I found a little beach down here too.
Oh yeah? Well, come back up so we can keep exploring.
You got it, buddy!
I don’t think driving up the cliff is going to work; it’s too steep.
You’re right. You should try something different.
Oh yeah, like going backwards?
No, that’s not what I meant. You should try going around.
Oh, good thinking! I’ll drive around the beach and we can meet up when the hill isn’t so steep.
Come on, let’s go this way.
Yeah, okay, let’s do it!
Oh, there’s a bush here. I can’t go around it.
Let’s try the other side.
Are you coming?
I am! I’m following right beside you.
Oh, I can’t go this way either.
Is it another bush?
No, it’s a big rock.
Can you go around it?
No, I can’t. It just goes right out into the lake.
Nothing in the lake except water. Oh, and friend!
Hi, Fran!
Hey, Rex! I know better than to go into the water without my life jacket and swimming buddy.
Looks like there’s no way to drive off this beach, Rex.
Hmm, this is definitely a tricky problem. What do I do?
Well, we need to try again.
I wish I could help, but oh wait, that’s it! I can help!
How?
I’ll be right back! Stay there, Zach!
I know exactly where to go. I think it’s down this way.
Hey, Rex! Hi, Mika! Do you want a tune-up?
If so, I’m almost done with Rose here.
Oh, I don’t need a tune-up today. I just need some rope.
Um, yeah, I think I have some around here somewhere.
Great!
Backing up, backing up. Okay, here comes the rope!
Now hook on!
What’s it for?
Well, if you can’t drive up, I can help by pulling you up.
Oh, great idea, Rex!
Okay, hold on. I’m just going to hook this line here.
Okay, Zach, let me know when you’re ready.
Okay, I’m all hooked on, Rex!
Okay, here we go! Pulling!
Okay, pull me up, Rex!
I’m pulling! It’s working!
No, you gotta go over to the side.
Oh, to the side? Okay!
Pulling to the side!
Okay, backing up. I guess that idea didn’t work.
Let me try another angle.
Okay, how’s this?
Yeah, that looks good! Keep pulling!
Okay, I’m going!
Hey, what’s wrong?
Yeah, I’m stuck on this stuff here.
Right, I’m pulling as hard as I can!
No, I’m caught on this stuff!
You have to back up, Rex!
Backing up, Zach!
I don’t think it’s going to work.
Oh, we’ll just have to try again.
What should we try next?
I don’t know. I can’t think of anything.
Well, you know what we say when that happens, right?
Answers are everywhere!
Let’s look around!
I’ll look around down here and you look around up there, Rex.
Your rope!
Ha ha! Looking around!
You still have your rope hook?
Oh, he’ll figure it out.
Hmm, look at this colorful tree! It’s beautiful, but I don’t think that’s going to help Zach off the beach.
Nope!
Okay, going around, looking…
Oh, there’s a bush here. I can’t look for answers that way.
I’ll go to the other side of the beach and look for answers over here.
Oh yeah, there’s the rock in the water on this side of the beach, so no answers on this side.
I have to try this!
Answers are everywhere!
Echo!
What about this side of the beach?
Alright, this is the side with the bush I already was on.
There’s not a lot of room on this beach to look for answers.
Hello, Zach! I saw you driving back and forth on the beach. What are you doing?
Hi, friend! I’m looking for answers on how to get off this beach.
Okay, let me know if you need my help.
Hey, wait a minute! Maybe that’s the answer!
What’s the answer?
I totally forgot that I can get off the beach by traveling on the water!
How would you do that?
On you, friend!
Oh yeah, but you can’t get on yet, though. You need your life jacket first.
Hey, Zach! I had an idea! Why don’t you swim around the rock with your life jacket?
I put mine on to show you!
I don’t need to swim, Rex! I can ride Fran!
Oh yeah! Hi, Fran!
Hello, Rex! Did you bring a life jacket for Zach?
Yeah, did you?
Yeah! Hold on!
Dumping!
Oh good!
Alright, thanks, Rex!
My life jacket!
Yeah! I thought life jackets were a good idea!
Alright, I got my life jacket on! Let’s go, friend!
Wait for me!
What are you doing?
Well, I thought I could come down too. I like getting rides on Fran as well.
Well, hop aboard, Zerbies!
Should I go first?
Yeah, you go first!
Okay, backing up!
I’ll go first!
Backing up in reverse!
Okay, now you’re good!
Here we go!
Okay, hey, it’s starting to rain!
Oh yeah, I like ferry rides in the rain!
Oh, it’s the best thing ever!
Yeah!
Super explorer exploring forest!
If I was any shorter, I’d still be the best!
Hey, you! You’re a rock! I’m a car! See you later!
Oh hey, Zach! Hi, Lily!
What are you looking at?
That jump down there! You see it?
Oh yeah, that looks like fun! Are you going to jump off it?
I’ve been jumping off it all morning and I’m trying to figure something out.
What?
Well, watch! Okay, ready, set, turbo!
Wow, that was a great jump, Zach!
The jump was okay, I guess, but the landing is always the same.
See? I’m upside down!
Can you help me?
Sure! Okay, just push me over!
There you go!
Thank you!
You’re welcome!
I’m trying to figure out what to do with the jump that always flips me upside down.
We could change the jump so you don’t land upside down, right?
Or we could figure out how to make an upside-down jump more fun!
How about leaves?
Yeah! What if we put a big pile of leaves at the end of the jump?
We could jump into the leaves and it doesn’t matter if you land upside down because it’s a soft landing!
Lily, you’re a genius!
Oh, thank you!
Let’s gather up some leaves!
Ready, set, turbo!
Okay, let’s find them!
Okay, I got that leaf here and put them there!
There’s so many points in the pile here, Lily!
Oh yeah, this is getting big!
Squish it a little bit!
Got more here!
I got some more here too!
Just gonna look over here.
I’m gonna put them here!
That’s good!
Wow, it’s really getting big!
Yeah, that was a lot of work, but we did it!
Now we can jump into this pile of leaves!
Okay, let’s do it!
Yeah!
Okay, this is gonna be great!
Alright, ready!
Hey, what happened to all the leaves?
Oh yeah, the wind! It must have blown the leaves away!
Well, I guess we should try again!
We just got to get more leaves!
But first, you got to get off!
Uh, yeah, okay!
You get off me!
Just back people first!
Here we go!
Okay, good!
Another pile of leaves!
But look, the wind is blowing the leaves away again!
Don’t worry, Lily! I have an idea!
I’m gonna hold the leaves down so they won’t go anywhere!
And now you can do the jump!
Oh, okay!
Uh oh, the leaves are blowing away!
Oh no! Those leaves are blowing away!
I need to have bigger wheels or more wheels!
Ready, Zach!
Hurry! The leaves are still blowing away!
Oh, okay!
All ready, set, turbo!
I left my top of your dock!
Yeah, I didn’t think of that!
We need another plan!
Let’s try again!
What should we do next?
We just need something to hold the leaves down so they don’t blow away!
Something that isn’t me!
Oh, I have an idea! Come on!
Uh, okay! Wait for me!
So how will this work?
Well, now the sticks are holding down the leaves so they won’t blow away!
See?
Oh, looks good to me!
I’m gonna try it!
Okay, here I go! Ready!
How was it?
Not that fun! I just landed on the sticks!
Yeah, I saw that!
We should try again!
But I’m out of ideas!
Me too!
So you know what we say then, right?
Right! Answers are everywhere!
Yeah, come on! Let’s look around!
Oh, hey! Wait, Lily! I’m still upside down!
I need a push, please!
Lily, what?
You gotta push me over!
Sorry, I got excited!
That’s okay! I’m almost there!
Just give me a little push!
Just a little!
I’ll try again!
Please keep pushing me once again!
There you go!
There, I did it!
Okay, which way are we going?
Come on, this way!
Yeah, that way!
Okay!
A flower?
No, it’s so delicate! That won’t work!
Uh, moss?
Well, it will be soft to land on, but it might blow away too!
Oh, let’s see! A stick?
No, we already tried sticks!
Oh! A rock!
A rock could hold down the leaves!
Oh, but not much fun to jump on!
I guess a rock isn’t gonna work!
Hey, look at this!
What’s this?
A hole that the construction service dug when they needed dirt!
Oh yeah! Who put all the leaves in here?
I think the leaves just flew in!
But I don’t get it! If the wind is blowing, how come the leaves are staying put?
Because they’re in the hole!
I think that protects them from the wind!
Whoa, Lily! You know what I’m thinking?
Are you thinking about digging a hole so the leaves don’t blow away?
Yeah! Let’s do it!
Alright!
[Music]
Okay, so do you think it’ll work?
I think so, but let’s wait for a gust of wind!
Oh, there’s one now!
Look! It’s working!
A windproof pile of leaves!
Only one thing to do now!
Yeah, let’s try it!
Ready!
Yeah, let’s do it again!
Okay, let’s do it again!
Oh wait, Lily! You have to push me over it though!
Okay, I can’t get there if you don’t push me over, Lily!
I’m upside down!
Oh, sorry!
Guess that!
Give me another push!
Okay, wait! You got it!
Wait, is it working?
I know! Sorry!
I’m gonna push me more!
Got it!
It’s hard!
You’re in the hole now!
I know! I mean all these things!
Okay, let me get some more traction!
What if I move my wheels like this?
You’re going really fast, Axel!
Oh, that’s nothing!
Watch this!
Wow, you’re going really fast!
Yeah, I know!
But you want to know a secret?
What?
I wasn’t even going top speed!
Wow! I was going as fast as my wheels could take me!
I know, but I’m a racer and I love going fast!
Come on, let’s go fast again!
Ready, set, turbo!
Wait for me!
Wait, wait! I’m not as fast as you!
You have to wait up!
Okay, I’m waiting!
Where should we go next?
Well, let’s go down this hill!
We could probably go really fast down here!
Okay!
Wait for me, Axel!
Oh no! What’s wrong?
Well, there are all these turns on this hill!
What’s wrong with turns?
Well, I can’t go fast around these turns! They’re too sharp!
Look at this!
Oh!
Oh yeah!
There’s another turn here!
And there’s a turn here!
And here!
Oh, that wasn’t as much fun as I was hoping!
You know what? We should make this road go straight down the hill!
Imagine how fast we could go if we did that!
Well, if there’s one Zerbie who can make a road, it’s Sandy!
Let’s ask Chase to find her!
I’ll call him!
Axel to Chase, come in!
Chase, this is Chase! Axel, what do you need?
Can you get Sandy to meet us at the big hill with all the turns in it?
No problem! I’ll go find her!
There you go, Sandy! Your caterpillar tracks are all tuned up!
Oh, that feels great! Thanks, Mika!
Hey, Sandy!
Oh, Chase!
Oh, look! Mika fixed my track so they flow nice and smoothly!
Watch this!
What do you think?
They look really nice!
Are you ready to put them to work?
Of course!
Great! Zach and Axel need your help!
I’ll show you the way!
Bye, Mika! Have fun, Zerbies!
Hey, Zerbies! What can I do for you?
Do you think that you can change this road, Sandy?
Well, sure! What would you like?
Well, instead of going back and forth and back and forth, do you think that you can make one that goes straight down the hill?
Sure! I’ll get right to work!
Alright!
Just getting some rocks out of the way and leaves!
Oh, I love pushing stuff!
When you need a road, you call a bulldozer!
Almost clear, guys!
Let’s try it!
Ready, set, turbo!
Whoa!
Now that’s more like it!
Yeah! It’s straight! It’s fast!
It’s your be perfect!
Let’s go back up to the top of the hill so we can try it again!
Yeah! Alright!
Oh wait!
Oh wait!
I can’t quite get up this hill here!
Huh, this road is steep!
Hmm, going straight down was excellent fun, but I guess having a road go straight up the hill isn’t gonna work!
Well, should we try again?
Yeah, but what should we do?
Well, let’s try driving up the hill again and see if anything works!
Okay, come on!
I gotta just try it this way!
This is sort of working!
No!
Oh!
Oh!
Okay!
What if I try it this way?
Oh wait! It doesn’t really work!
Okay, I gotta try this!
No!
There are these roots here, but I can’t go this!
I’ll go to the side!
Maybe…
What if I try it this way?
Okay, no, no!
I just can’t make it up!
Oh, it’s too steep!
Oh, I can’t really!
If I try to go around…
Well, I’m fine!
We’re just gonna have to try something else, Zach!
But I’m gonna go this way!
Like this!
Hey! You’re doing it!
I am?
Yeah! You’re going sideways across the hill!
Well, yeah, kind of up and to the side!
Diagonal!
Maybe that’s the answer!
We build a road to go up and across!
Yeah!
Say no more!
Alright!
Let me in!
Go get Sandy!
Just gonna move!
Going up and across!
Up and across!
Okay!
Get these logs out of the way here!
Yeah!
You’re doing it!
Come on!
Let’s follow us!
Yeah!
Ready, set, turbo!
Great job, Sandy!
Yeah! We’re partway up the hill already!
We’re going to be at the top in no time!
Oh, here we go!
This is definitely the answer!
Come on over this way!
What’s wrong?
What’s wrong?
A big rock over here on this side of the hill!
I can’t push it!
Oh, looks like we have to try again!
What should we do differently?
Well, why don’t we just turn around and go across the hill in the other direction?
Oh yeah!
That way we can keep going diagonally up the hill and it won’t be too steep to drive!
Say no more!
Ready, set…
You know there’s a name for this kind of road that switches direction going up the hill?
It’s called a switchback!
A switchback?
Yeah! It’s called that because it switches back and forth going across the hill, so the road never gets too steep to drive!
Switchback! I like it!
Oh, this side of the hill is coming up!
It’s okay! We can just turn around and go across the other way again!
Switchback!
Switchback!
Around we go!
Switchback!
Alright!
What a great idea! A road that goes back and
