ClassX Video Lessons Youtube Channel 9 Story Kids Zerby Derby | ????CATCHING SOME ????’s | SAND PUDDLE | DON’T FORGET TO PACK | Season 2 | Full Episodes
One sunny day, Mika the Zerby was helping her friends charge their batteries. Mika uses solar panels to get energy from the sun. When her friends, like Phil and Rex, needed a charge, Mika was there to help!
Mika found a sunny spot to recharge her own battery. But when she woke up, she was in the shade! The sun had moved, and the tree’s shadow covered her. Mika learned that the sun moves across the sky, so she needed to find a spot with no trees to block the sun.
Rex and Zach wanted to make a mud puddle to play in. They knew mud is made from dirt and water. But when they mixed sand with water, they only got wet sand, not mud! They realized they needed real dirt, not sand, to make mud. Once they had the right ingredients, they made a perfect mud puddle!
Rex and Sandy wanted to build a jump for their Zerby friends to play on. They tried making a pile of dirt, but it was too soft, and their jump didn’t work. They learned that packing the dirt down makes it firmer and better for jumping.
Phil, the expert builder, showed them how to pack the dirt by pressing it down. Once the dirt was packed, the jump worked perfectly, and the Zerbies had a blast jumping over it!
The Zerbies learned a lot about solar power, making mud, and building jumps. They discovered that sometimes things don’t work the first time, but trying again and learning from mistakes can lead to success. The Zerbies never give up, and they always have fun while learning!
Keep exploring and learning, just like the Zerbies!
Solar Power Exploration: Find a small toy or object that can be powered by the sun, like a solar-powered calculator or toy car. Take it outside on a sunny day and observe how it works. Try placing it in different spots, like in the shade or direct sunlight, and see what happens. Discuss why the toy works better in the sunlight and how this relates to Mika’s experience with solar panels.
Mud Making Experiment: Gather some dirt and sand in separate containers. Add water to each and mix them. Observe the differences between the two mixtures. Discuss why the dirt and water mixture turns into mud while the sand and water mixture does not. Encourage children to think about other materials that might mix with water to create something new.
Jump Building Challenge: Using a small pile of dirt or sand, create a mini jump for toy cars or small figures. Experiment with packing the dirt down by pressing it with your hands or a small tool. Test the jump with your toys and see how well they can go over it. Discuss how packing the dirt makes the jump stronger and relate it to the Zerbies’ experience.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript, removing any filler words, repetitions, and informalities for clarity:
—
Alright, almost charged. Hey Mika, can I get a charge? Let me check… Yep, I still have lots of power in the battery. Oh great! Jake, you’re on top of me. I got your car, Phil. What can I help you with?
Hey Mika, I can’t seem to lift my scoop full of gravel. I think my battery might be low. Can you give me a charge? Let’s see… Yep, I still have lots of charge left. Let me hook you up. How’s that, Phil?
Oh yeah, my battery is charging. Alright, full power! Thanks, Mika. Anytime!
That was a lot of Zerbies I’ve charged up. I need to find a sunny spot to charge my battery again. Oh, I’d better take a nap.
Okay, sunny spot, no shade. This looks like the perfect spot. Let’s see how much charge I have… Oh, not a lot. Well, all I have to do is wait here, and my solar panels will use the energy of the bright warm sun to charge up my battery.
Come on, Rex! Oh boy, oh boy. Uh-oh, Zach, I’m not going as fast anymore. I think I need to recharge my batteries. Yeah, me too. Hey, let’s find Mika; she can charge us up.
Yeah, that’s a good idea. I’m so much slower. Even driving over this moss is hard work. Mika! Oh, there she is. Mika, we need to check… Oh, she’s asleep in the shade.
What? How did that happen? When I went to sleep, I was in the sun. I need sunlight to charge my solar panels. Maybe you thought you were in the sun? No, I made sure, but I guess I’m not in the sun right now, so I must have made a mistake.
How much charge do I have? Not a lot. How did this happen? It’s okay; why don’t you just try again? We need to try and get you in the sun where you can recharge.
Okay, great! Then I can recharge you. Exactly. How about right here? There’s sun right here. Oh great, I do have enough power to charge one of you. Who wants it? You take it, Rex.
Oh, thanks very much, Zach. Come on, let’s switch places. Okay, I’ll back up first, and then I’ll just… Okay, here I am.
How’s that, Rex? It’s really good; it’s working! You almost charged, Rex. Oh, I’m charging! Just give me some time in the sun, and I’ll charge you too, Zach.
Alright, thanks very much, Mika. I can’t wait; my power’s pretty low. Go away from me, Rex. Oh, full power!
Hey Zach, watch this! I’m going to do a wheelie. Hey, how was that? That sounds nice.
Hey, barrel roll! I’m watching. No barrel roll! Here I go, watch!
Did you see that, Zach? Did you see it? Zach? No good; I don’t have the power. Oh, let’s go check on Mika.
Okay, where did she go? Mika! Mika! Hey Zach, I found Mika; she’s over this way. Come on, I’ll show you the point I’m pointing.
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. Come on, if you say so.
Was it this 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! I’m going to stop it!
Okay tree, you stop moving right now! Rex, that’s not the problem. I don’t know what to do with him.
Come on, the tree’s not moving! No, Rex, that’s not the problem!
It’s not? That’s not the problem; it’s not the tree that’s moving. It’s not? No, 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! Stop, sun! I’m trying to reach it! Zach, I’m not quite tall enough! I’m reaching!
We don’t need to stop the sun, Rex! What? We don’t? No!
All we need to do is find a place where there’s no chance of shade or shadows. Somewhere where there’s nothing but open sky between you and your sun.
Where’s that? We’ll have to try again. Come on, let’s look around.
Hey, what about here, Zerbies? Yeah, this is really open here. No trees nearby that will cast any shadows.
Yeah, this is the perfect place to recharge! Right out in the open! And 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.
Okay, here we go! Watch this! Here’s a circle!
Oh, hey! Oh, hey! What do you see, Zach? Ah, nothing.
Oh wait, I think I see something over to your left! Go that way!
Okay! Hey, why do you have to be on top of me? I need to keep a lookout!
Oh, hey! Where are we going again? It’s my favorite rainy day spot; it’s just a little further.
Whoa! Whoa! I’m going to fall off! Sorry!
Okay, wait till you see it; it’s like a giant playground! Oh, I can’t wait! Can we switch places? I don’t think that’s going to work, Rex; we’re almost there.
See, here it is! Wow! It’s like a giant playground!
Yeah, we could zoom around on it everywhere! Ready?
Hey Zach! Yeah? You can’t catch me!
Hey! What are we looking at? There’s something missing here.
There is? All I see is a hole! Exactly! We should put a mud puddle here!
Oh yeah, I love to play in the mud! Yeah, let’s get to Mika!
Come on, Rex! Okay, coming! You still remember how to make mud, right?
Yeah, it’s dirt and water, right? Okay, so you’ll get the dirt, and I’ll find Walter, and he can bring the water, right?
Hi Rex, can I help you? Yeah, load me up, Phil!
Okay, you got it! Lifting and jumping!
There we go! Hey, thanks Phil! This should be enough.
Okay, go, proud demo! Anytime, Max! Bye Phil! Thanks!
Pretty cool hole, huh? Yeah, I like it!
Okay, first I’ll dump in the dirt, and here I am! Looking good, Rex!
Okay, Walter, water please! My pleasure! Here you go!
Okay, well that’s all the water I have. I’ll need to fill up again if you need more.
I think that’s enough water, thanks Walter!
Yeah, we’ll call you if we need any more! Great! See you later, Zerbies! Bye!
Okay, alright, here comes the mud! Go, Rex!
Oh, ready, set, turbo!
Oh, hey! Am I covered in mud, Zach?
No! Whoa, that’s weird!
Hey, the water doesn’t look very muddy! That is weird! Maybe it just needs more mixing up.
Let me try! Okay, Zach, you try mixing it up some more over here.
And then… That’s strange; there’s no mud at all!
Well, I guess we need to try again!
Okay, what should we try?
Well, if mud is just dirt and water, maybe we don’t have enough dirt, or we still haven’t mixed it enough yet.
How about I get more dirt, and you keep mixing? Two solutions in one! I love it!
See you, Zach! Okay, here we go!
I can’t mix any more, Rex! Can you mix it up?
Sure, I can! Here I go!
It’s mixing! 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!
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?
Nope! 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 Cory Buildy sand!
So when you add water to sand, what do you get?
You get… Uh, wet sand?
Uh, I guess not mud!
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, 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!
Alright, here comes the water!
Hey, it looks muddy already!
Yeah, mix it up, Rex!
Alright!
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 interesting! It kind of looks like me!
Yeah! Did you make it look like me on purpose?
Of course! We should name him Zach too!
Where am I going to dump my load of dirt?
Hey, come on, Sandy!
Yeah, okay! This looks like a good spot! But, uh, what are we building here?
I don’t know!
Hey Rex, what are you and Sandy going to build?
That’s just it, Axel! We don’t know!
A jump! Yeah, I love jumps!
Well, that’s something that we can build for sure!
Yeah, let’s call Phil! He always puts the finishing touches on the jumps we build!
Good idea!
Rex to Chase!
Come in, Chase! This is Chase! What do you need, Rex?
Can you find Phil and ask him to meet us?
Well, dudes, everybody! Let’s see… Phil! Uh-oh, there he is!
Hey Phil, Sandy and Rex need your help!
Oh no, you can’t! Chase, I have to help Strut with this big log! I’ll come by after we’re done!
Sure thing, Chase!
This is Rex! Looks like Phil is a little busy now. I’ll send him over to you when he’s done helping Strut.
Okay, thanks, Chase!
Hmm, well we could try building the jump ourselves!
Yeah, how hard could it be?
Yeah, we can do it! Let’s go for it!
Alright, good! Okay, I’ll just push the dirt over here and a bit over there.
There! Does that look like a jump to you, Zerbies?
Oh yeah, it looks like a jump to me!
There’s the part where I should drive up!
Give it a try, Axel!
Okay, ready, set, turbo!
Hey, what happened? I usually go up and over the jump and fly in the air off the other side!
You didn’t jump!
I know, that’s strange! That doesn’t normally happen! Were you doing what you normally do, Axel?
Oh yeah, normally I just drive really fast, and then the jump does the rest of the work!
Well, this jump doesn’t work! I guess we have to try again!
Yeah, whoa! What should we do differently?
Maybe the jump was too steep!
Yeah, maybe if we made it a bit lower, it would work better!
Alright!
Well, now that I’ve driven into it, it already looks a bit lower down!
It does look a little lower!
Try it now, Axel!
Okay, here goes! Ready, set, turbo!
Yeah, yeah!
Hey, what happened? I sank into the dirt instead of going up and over it!
Wow, building a jump can be harder than I thought! What should we do now?
Well, maybe we were using the wrong kind of dirt!
Huh?
No, that’s the kind of dirt we always build jumps out of!
Hmm, I’m positive!
Well, we need to try again!
But I’m out of ideas!
Well, you know what we say when we’re all out of ideas!
Right! Answers are everywhere! Let’s look around, and maybe we’ll get an idea how to fix the jump!
Okay!
Hey, two big rocks! Hey, it kind of looks like a tunnel!
No, I don’t think it’s going to work!
Nope!
Okay, there! One pounder! This is going to… Oh wait a minute! We already had a pile of dirt!
Hey! What about this dump?
That’s cool!
Well, I guess it’s not going to help with the jump though! Man, it’s pretty cool though!
Hey, that pile of dirt kind of looks like a jump! I wonder if I can jump it!
I’m going to try it!
Okay, ready, set, turbo!
Whoa! It’s pretty soft, but I can make it! I’m a derby truck driving up just off dirt!
There! This is kind of fun! I wonder if I can try it again!
Yeah, it looks like I pushed some down there!
Okay, here we go! Turbo!
Wow! I can’t believe we couldn’t find an answer that normally works!
Yeah, well we just have to keep trying until we solve the problem! Zerbies don’t give up!
Yeah, well let me try to jump again! Maybe it will give us another idea!
Ready, set, turbo!
Hey, it worked!
What happened?
Hey, look! Those are tire tracks! Those look like a truck made them!
Well, maybe some Zerby was driving on the jump when we weren’t here!
But why would that make it work?
Hmm, I’m confused!
Hey Zerbies, I’m finished helping Strut! What can I help you with?
Hi Phil! We were building a jump, but first it didn’t work, and then it did, and we don’t know why!
Huh! Well, why don’t we try building it again? That way we can figure out what happened!
Great idea!
Yeah, great idea!
Alright, let’s take it down!
Okay, smooth it out, and then I went over here!
Okay, I love rebuilding!
Now I have to dump it back where I had it before!
And then I did some of this, like that!
There! Is that…
Oh, not yet! You have to pack it down first!
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Pack it down?
Yeah, sometimes the dirt is really soft when you drop it on the ground!
I like to pack it down with my scoop to make it harder, like this!
Pack! I press it down, and then it pushes it tight!
Oh, but you weren’t here before, so how did it get packed?
Hi Zerbies! Oh, you’re making another jump! I like the last one you had!
I drove all over it!
You did?
Yeah, it was soft at first, but after I drove on it a while, it seemed to get better!
Well, that’s it! Zach must have packed it down by driving on it!
Oh yeah, I guess so! That’s one mystery solved and one jump built!
And you know what this means? We can jump it!
Yeah! Ready?
You’re pushing it!
