In this lesson, we explored the concept of floating and problem-solving through a fun story about friends trying to make a garage float using sticks and rocks. They learned the importance of experimentation and perseverance by building a jump for Axel and helping Chase down from a tree, ultimately discovering that trying different ideas can lead to successful solutions. The key takeaway is that persistence and creativity are essential in overcoming challenges.
  1. What did Lily use to help the garage float?
  2. Why did our friends decide to use rocks instead of sticks?
  3. How did Rex find a way to make a big jump?

Let’s Make a Floating Garage!

Hey there! Today, we’re going to learn about floating things and how we can make a garage float. Are you ready? Let’s go!

Finding a Way to Float

Once upon a time, our friends wanted to make a garage float. They thought, “Hmm, what floats?” Then Lily had a great idea: “Sticks float!” So, they decided to use sticks to make the garage float.

They lined up the sticks and left an open space for Bob to get in and out. They tied the garage to the sticks and tried to see if it would float. But guess what? The garage floated away!

Trying Again with Rocks

Our friends didn’t give up. They thought, “What else can we use?” Then they saw Lily standing on a rock. “Rocks don’t float, but they can hold things up!” they realized.

So, they put rocks in the water and placed the garage on top. This time, the garage stayed in place! Hooray!

Building the Perfect Jump

Next, our friends wanted to build a jump for Axel. They tried different shapes. The first jump was long and low, and the second was short and steep. But neither was perfect.

Then they thought, “What if we make a jump that’s in between?” They built a new jump, and Axel flew high and far, right over a branch! It worked!

Helping Chase Down from a Tree

Oh no! Chase got stuck in a tree! But our friends had a plan. They pulled the tree from the top, and Chase slid right out. Everyone was happy!

Bob’s Adventure on a Trailer

Bob needed to get across the water. So, they used a trailer to carry Bob. It was like a fun ride, and Bob got to see the forest from a new angle!

Rex’s Big Jump

Rex wanted to jump like Axel. He tried going faster, but it wasn’t enough. Then they found a hill. Rex zoomed down the hill and made a big jump! He was so happy!

What We Learned

We learned that trying different ideas can help us solve problems. Whether it’s making a garage float or building a perfect jump, we can always try again and find a solution!

Remember, answers are everywhere, and trying again is always a good idea. Keep exploring and having fun!

  • What are some things you have seen that float on water? Can you think of why they might float?
  • Have you ever tried to build something or solve a problem and it didn’t work the first time? What did you do next?
  • If you could build a jump for your favorite toy, what would it look like? How would you make sure it’s just right?
  1. Floating Experiment: Let’s explore what floats and what sinks! Gather some small objects from around your home, like a spoon, a leaf, a small toy, or a piece of paper. Fill a bowl with water and gently place each object in the water. Observe which objects float and which ones sink. Can you guess why some things float and others don’t? Discuss with your friends or family what you discovered!

  2. Build Your Own Floating Garage: Using materials like sticks, small rocks, and a plastic container, try to build your own floating garage. First, see if you can make it float using just sticks. Then, try adding rocks to see if it stays in place. Can you think of other materials that might help your garage float or stay put? Share your creation with someone and explain how it works!

  3. Design a Perfect Jump: Use building blocks or cardboard to create different ramps for a toy car. Try making ramps of various shapes and sizes, like long and low or short and steep. Test each ramp by rolling the car down and see how far it jumps. Which ramp works best? Can you design a ramp that makes the car jump the farthest? Experiment and have fun finding the perfect jump!

Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

[Music]

Oh, I know! I float, so maybe my garage should float too. Yeah, that sounds like a great idea! So we just need to find a way to make the garage float. How do we do that?

How about sticks? Sticks float!

Good idea, Lily! That should work. All right, let’s go!

I’ll get the garage out of the water. Just let me know when you’re back with the sticks.

Okay, so here are some sticks. We’ll line them up like this, and then there’s an open end here so Bob can get in and out. Now all we have to do is attach the garage to the sticks. It looks great! Do you think it will work?

Well, let’s try it and find out!

Just lift it up and put it on the sticks. Now to tie the sticks to the garage. Now let’s see if it floats!

[Music]

Wow, this is great! My own garage! I just want to say thank you to you Zerbies. I never had a garage before, and I didn’t think… but now that I have one, I’m so excited to use it! And now every night I can come back to my garage, which will always be sitting right here.

Hey, where did it go?

It floated away over there! I better go get it. Come back!

All right, floating the garage didn’t work. I guess we should try again, but I don’t know what to do.

Don’t worry, Zack! Answers are everywhere!

Hey, let’s go look around.

Oh, good idea, Lily! Come on!

Okay, hmm… that’s a log. No, I guess we sort of tried that. Maybe something in the water? I don’t know.

Hey, Lily, you’re floating! How are you doing that?

No, I’m not! I’m on a rock!

Oh, hey Lily, maybe you found the answer! Let’s get some rocks!

Okay, let’s go!

Wait, Lily, wait for me!

Okay, so what we have is all these rocks, and what we’re gonna do is place the rocks in the water where Bob’s garage will go.

I still don’t get it, Zack. How are rocks going to work? Rocks aren’t going to make Bob’s garage float.

Ah, but you see, we don’t need his garage to float. We jumped! Nope, floating in the garage didn’t work this time. We’re gonna put rocks in the water, and the garage will sit on top of the rocks.

Now I get it! Good idea! I’ll start placing the rocks and swing it out and put it right there.

Oh, I see! So I would fit right in here!

Hey, that’s great!

Here we go! Here comes the garage!

Wow, this is great! My very own garage sitting right here on the water! But it’s sitting on the rocks, so it won’t blow away in the wind. I’m gonna try it!

All right! Hey, look! I can drive right in here!

Hey, there’s a spot to hang some pictures!

Yeah, it sure is!

Okay, so here we go! High five, Axel! Ready, set, turbo!

Great jump, Axel!

Oh, that was a great job!

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! All we have to do is build another jump so I can go higher!

You got it! Come on, Zerbies!

Okay, there we go!

All right, come on, guys!

We did it! Wow, this jump looks a lot different than the first one!

Yep, this one’s very short and steep.

Hmm… give it a shot, Axel!

Okay, here I go!

Good luck with this one, Axel! Go forward!

[Applause]

A small problem… I landed in a puddle of mud!

Yeah, but did you see how high you went? You went really high! But I guess you’re not going so far anymore.

Oh, you’re right! It looks like we’ll have to try again!

Oh, are we trying again?

One more time, everybody!

Oh, but what shape do we try next?

Ah, I don’t know! I know! Let’s take a look at the two jumps because answers are everywhere!

Okay, let’s go! Come on!

Hey, you know what I know?

What?

Look at the shape of this jump! You see how it’s long and really low?

Yeah!

Well, this jump lets you go really far, right?

Yeah!

Okay, now check the other jump. See how the shape is really different? Instead of long and low, it’s short and really steep.

Hmm…

So what if we built something that was in between the two shapes?

Well, do you think that’ll work?

The only way to find out is to try again!

Stop trying again!

All right!

Huh, looking good, guys!

Hey, Axel, actually, it’s done!

It’s done! It’s done!

Do you think it’ll get me all the way over here?

Well, it’s higher than the first jump, but it’s lower than the second jump, so it might! But there’s only one way to find out, right? It’s time for me to try it!

Okay!

[Music]

Wow! Right over the branch and clear across the puddle! Fabulous fenders, I did it!

All right! Hey, don’t panic, Chase! We’ll get you down! We’re Zerbies! We try again!

Hmm… you know, Strut, when you were pulling Chase, the tree bent a bit. Maybe we can get it to bend enough so Chase can slide right out!

Well, that’s a great idea, Lily! Do you think you’re strong enough to bend the whole tree over, Strut?

I think so! Let me get a good hold on it!

Go, Strut!

Got it! All right, get ready to jump off!

Never readier!

Okay!

Oh, here we go!

[Music]

The tree is shaking, but it’s not bending!

Oh, come on! Let’s help push!

Yeah, good idea!

Yes, good idea!

Okay!

[Music]

I don’t get it! The tree was bending before!

It didn’t work!

No, it didn’t! Well, we’ll just have to try again! Come on!

Am I going to be stuck up here forever?

Don’t worry, Chase! Zerbies do not give up!

That’s right! We just have to try again!

Yeah, but what should we do differently?

Hmm… well, we have to get this tree to bend. I don’t know why it’s not working. You know, the only time we saw the tree really bend was when Strut tried to pull Chase out.

Yeah, and Chase is near the top of the tree!

What are you thinking, Lily?

Well, I’m thinking maybe we need to try pulling the tree from the top instead of the bottom to bend!

Oh, good thinking, Lily!

Yeah, let’s give it a try, Strut! Do you think you can get your hook all the way up to the top there?

I think so! Everyone, stand back!

Okay! Spinning!

Okay, I’m ready! Strap, here we go!

Well, it’s bending!

[Applause]

It’s bending!

I may be big, but I’m still not bigger than a tree! This is hard, but it’s working! It’s working!

I think so! Here I come!

Oh, don’t worry, Chase! I’ll get you!

Oh, almost! I gotta make it!

Okay, I got you! A little lower!

Okay, just push me forward a little!

Keep going! That’s it!

Okay, I’ll just get it!

Okay!

Pushing you over here! Push me a little bit more forward!

I got it! Hold on!

Come on!

[Music]

How do you feel, Chase?

Well, I feel fine, but… oh, all this excitement really tuckers a guy out!

Hey, maybe Strut should hold on to you so you stop sleep flying!

You know, that just might work! He’s always flying around when he’s asleep! Remember that time he landed in Zerbytown Lake?

Yeah, or when he landed on the pile of leaves and one of them fell all over the town!

No, it’s no use! I can’t do it!

It’s too bad! I would have really liked to see that pod!

Don’t worry, Bob! We can always try again!

Oh yeah, but how?

Well, what if we gave Bob some help?

How? You can’t go in the water!

I don’t think we need to! Hold on, I’ll be right back!

Okay, this is gonna be interesting!

Are you sure this is going to work, Zack?

Yeah! See, I have a rope tied to my bumper!

Oh, I see! The other end’s tied to me!

Ready to go, Zack?

Okay! Ready, set, turbo!

Hey, it’s working! You’re following me! Keep going!

Oh yeah!

[Music]

Oh, there’s a tree here! I have to go around on this side!

Bug, hold on!

Okay, just hang on!

Okay! Whoa! I’ve got you! You’re pulling me out!

You’re on the ground!

Hold on! Hold on!

Oh wait, wait! Sorry about that, Bob!

That’s okay! At least I will float back down!

I guess pulling you all the way upstream isn’t gonna work!

That really is too bad!

Yep! Well, we should just try again!

I can’t haul you over the ground because you’re a boat!

Wait, that’s it!

What’s it?

Let’s go back to Zerbytown docks!

Zerbytown docks? But that’s all the way back where we started!

Trust me! I know what to do!

All right!

We just go push you back in here!

Okay! Hey, Bob!

All right! I’ll see you back down at Zerbytown docks!

We’ll see you back down at the docks, Bob!

Okay, bye-bye!

Bye-bye!

Hey, Lily, you wanted me to bring my trailer! What’s up?

Bob will be up if you give him a lift!

That is!

You got it! Come on this way!

Come on! Yep, just over here!

Whoa!

Hey, okay! I’m just gonna back in here!

Keep coming, Rex!

No further!

Go a little farther!

The water’s cold!

All right, Bob! Now drive up onto Rex’s trailer!

Uh, like this?

Yeah!

Uh, all right! Aboard!

Okay, go ahead!

Oh, you’re a genius, Lily!

Well, that gave me the idea!

Uh-huh! Yeah! You said something about hauling Bob across the ground, and then I figured why not just lift him up and drive him!

Definitely works!

Wow! This is what I’ve never seen the forest from this angle!

Look, there’s the stream!

Yeah, there’s where I stopped in it!

Oh, look! This is fun!

[Music]

Whoa! Look at that! This part is great!

Go ahead and explore, Bob!

Okay!

Let’s try again!

Okay, but you’ve already dumped your dirt, so you’re as light as you can get! So what else can we do?

Hmm… what makes you so good at jumps, Axel?

I don’t know!

Well, let me look at both of you! Axel looks a lot faster than you, Rex!

He is faster! Much faster!

Do you think going fast has something to do with jumps?

I bet it does!

Do you think you can go faster, Rex?

I might be able to go faster if I can get more of a run-up so I can get to top speed!

Oh, that’s a good idea! Okay, I’m gonna try it!

Uh, from here?

No, a little bit further!

Yeah, okay! Uh, here?

No, a little bit more!

Here?

Okay, that’s good!

I can’t even see him!

Yeah, me neither!

Okay, ready, set, go!

[Music]

[Applause]

Well, what do you think?

Well, that was better!

It was better!

Oh yeah, definitely better!

I still don’t think you’re going as fast as Axel was, though!

I was going as fast as I could!

Was that enough of a jump for you?

I like building jumps a lot, but just once I want to do a jump like Axel does and fly through the air!

So you want to?

Yep! Try again!

I think going faster is the answer!

But you can’t drive any faster, can you, Rex?

Nope! That was as fast as I go!

Maybe we’ll look around and see if we can come up with ideas! Answers are everywhere!

Okay, I’ll go over here!

Let’s see… uh, rock? No, a rock’s not gonna make Rex go faster!

Hey, pine needles! Are pine needles fast?

Uh, no! They’re not moving!

[Music]

Hey, uh, big log! Will that work?

Uh, no!

Hey, Rex! Look how fast you’re going!

Yeah, I am going fast!

What’s going on?

It’s because we’re going down a hill!

Oh, I love hills! Look at me go!

Too bad there isn’t a jump at the bottom of this hill!

Hey!

What?

I’ll be right back!

Hey, Max! Where are you going?

Hey, uh, where’s Rex going?

I don’t know!

Excuse me!

Wow!

Yeah, what’s the sand for?

It’s so I can make a jump at the bottom of this hill!

Oh, oh, that’s smart!

That is!

It’s a great jump! You ready, Rex?

Ready!

Go for it!

Ready, set, turbo!

[Applause]

Did you see me? I flew! I really did it!

Yeah!

Hey, do you want to do it again?

Nope! I did it once! That’s good enough for me!

Come on, let’s go!

Zack, can you believe that we saw Rex jump?

Yeah, that was great!

Wow! Did you see him never come down?
