One day, Zach and his friends were playing with leaves. They tried to drive over them, but the leaves were too soft and squished down. Zach had a great idea! He said, “Let’s use something else to make it stronger!”
Dottie found a big rock that was just the right size. Sandy, the bulldozer, was super strong and pushed the rock on top of the leaves. The rock squished the leaves down, making the ground nice and flat!
Flynn, their flying friend, needed a smooth place to land. Sandy scraped some dirt to make the ground even smoother. Everyone worked together, and Flynn landed safely. Hooray!
The friends decided to explore and find new ways to have fun. They discovered that by going fast and turning, they could get out of tricky spots. It was like a fun race!
They wanted to play in a puddle, but the sun dried up the water. Zach had a clever idea to dig a hole in the shade, where the sun couldn’t reach. This way, the water stayed longer, and they could splash and play!
The friends built a tunnel and a bridge using a piece of bark. They worked together, and it was a big success! Everyone could drive over and under it, having lots of fun.
Rex got stuck because he was too tall. Lily had a smart idea to let some air out of Rex’s tires, making him shorter. It worked, and Rex was free!
After all the fun, Rex’s tires needed some air. Mika, the mechanic, pumped them up, and Rex was ready to go. Then, it was time for a wash, and everyone got clean and shiny!
Zach and his friends learned that by working together and thinking creatively, they could solve any problem. They had lots of fun playing and exploring, and they were ready for more adventures!
Rock and Leaf Experiment: Gather some leaves and small rocks. Let the children try to flatten the leaves with their hands and then with a small rock. Ask them to observe what happens when they use the rock. Discuss why the rock is more effective in flattening the leaves compared to just using their hands. Encourage them to think about other objects that might help flatten the leaves.
Build Your Own Tunnel and Bridge: Provide children with materials like small sticks, pieces of bark, or cardboard. Challenge them to build a simple tunnel and bridge. Once built, let them drive toy cars over and under their creations. Ask them to think about what makes their structures strong and how they can improve them.
Shadow and Water Play: On a sunny day, take the children outside and let them observe how shadows are formed. Provide a small container of water and ask them to find a spot where the water stays longer without drying up. Discuss how the shade helps keep the water from evaporating quickly and encourage them to find creative ways to make shadows using objects around them.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

[Music]
Oh, it didn’t work. I’ll help you, Zach.
What happened?
Oh, the leaves squished down.
What was that?
The leaves squished down when I drove on them. They’re too soft.
Should we try again?
Yeah, let’s take these leaves out and use something else.
Like I said, I can’t really dig; I can only push. I’m a bulldozer. I wish Phil was here.
Oh, it’s okay, Sandy. Remember, these leaves are really squashy, so if we put something else in the hole, the leaves will squash down.
Oh, good thinking, Zach! I’ll go see if I can find something else.
Let’s see… Oh, there’s something over here! It’s a big rock. If we put this on top of the leaf, it’ll squash them down. What do you think?
Oh, great idea, Dottie! And it’s the same size as the hole; it’s perfect!
Yeah, but it’s pretty heavy. Do you think you can move it, Sandy?
Are you kidding? I’m a bulldozer! I’m made for pushing. Watch this! Ready, set, turbo!
Yeah, look! The rock squishes the leaves down.
Hmm, should we try it again to see if it works?
Yeah!
Ready?
Yeah, I’m ready!
Okay, and action!
Sometimes I have floats, but today I have…
Oh, it didn’t work!
What’s wrong with it?
Well, the hole is filled now, but it’s still a little bit too bumpy for Flynn to land on. Maybe we just need something to smooth it out a little bit.
Oh, what’s that noise?
Oh, it’s Flynn! He’s coming in for a landing.
Oh, uh, go stall him, Dottie, and we’ll figure this out.
Okay, Dottie to Flynn: the runway is not ready for you. Can you circle a little bit?
I could circle a little bit, but my batteries are getting kind of low.
Alright, oh, what do we do, Sandy?
Well, we just need to smooth it out. I can’t dig a lot of dirt, but maybe if I just cover it with a little bit of dirt, that’ll be enough.
Can you get a little?
I can scrape the ground to get a little.
Come on, let’s try!
Okay!
Alright, here’s some dirt. Here, I’ll just try scraping it up.
Oh, Sandy!
Alright, scraping! It’s not a lot, but will it be enough?
Well, let’s find out! Come on, push it over!
Yeah! Alright! Awesome!
I’m gonna need to land pretty soon! Almost there, Flynn!
How you doing, Sandy?
Just pushing the dirt over the top.
Okay, there you go! Now it looks nice and smooth.
What do you think?
Does that look great?
Let’s just pack it down.
Okay, back, back, back!
Okay, pack!
Uh, where’s Flynn?
Dottie, I’ll just check.
Oh, he’s right there! Get out of the way!
Okay, landing coming lower over the runway!
Oh, I hope this works!
And touching down!
Oh, and taxiing! Yay!
Thanks!
Well, what if we all got in a line and then we could all help push each other out?
Oh, that sounds good! Here, okay everyone!
Yeah, get in a line! We’re gonna line up, everyone!
[Music]
Ready?
[Music]
To push!
Uh, okay, okay everyone! Everybody stop!
Take a break!
Do you have enough room now to drive up the sides?
I can’t see!
Oh, well, good idea, Jewel! I’m gonna try driving out again.
I can’t do it! I just can’t get it going fast enough!
Well, we’ll just have to try again. But what will we do differently?
Well, it’s all about getting up enough speed, so maybe we can find a way to go faster.
Oh, great idea, Lily! But I’ve tried everything.
But what do we say when we’re stuck?
Answers are everywhere! So let’s look around and maybe we can come up with an idea.
[Music]
Usually, this works!
Well, there’s gotta be something we can do!
Well, maybe there’s something over here… or over here… or over here!
Hey, hey! What about this way over here?
Hey, this is fun!
Actually, you’re going pretty fast!
I am going fast! This is great!
Keep going fast and then turn and go up the side!
Okay, that’s a great idea!
What’s going on?
Hey, that wasn’t so hard!
Uh, user, we should try it!
How do we do it?
I’ll show you! It’s easy! You just go round and round and round until you’re going fast enough to get out!
Okay, let’s try!
Okay!
[Music]
Here!
[Music]
Oh, I caught you, Bags! I saw it! I saw the whole thing! That was great!
[Music]
We did it! We made it out of the ball!
Well, you know what that means!
What?
It means we get to go back in!
Oh yeah! Ready, set, turbo!
Hey, look!
Are you following me?
Yes, I am!
Yeah, let’s go now!
This way!
Alright, let’s go back to the puddle!
Yeah, yeah! We could cool off!
Hey, where did the water go?
Not down the hill!
Hey, look! The dirt is all dried out too!
Oh, I know what happened!
You do?
Yeah! The water was dried up by the sun!
That happens!
Yeah, I remember how easy it is to dry off after a wash when I’m in the sun!
Looks like we have to try again!
Should we get more water first?
I think we should find another place to put this puddle.
Why, Zach?
Oh, come on, Rex! I’ll show you!
There you go, Zach! Another hole!
Uh, just one question: why are you digging it here?
I was wondering the same thing!
Because look at the shadow of this tree!
I’m looking, but I still don’t get it!
Well, if the puddle is in the shade and out of the sun, then maybe the water won’t dry up as fast!
Oh, hey! That’s good thinking! Now all we need to do is get another load of water!
Okay, where are you going, Phil?
Come on, Rex! I have to help you get water!
Remember?
Wait up, Phil!
There you go!
I hope it works this time!
[Music]
Okay, now we play in the meadow again, and when we get hot, we’ll come back and hopefully the water will still be here!
Sounds good! Ready, set, turbo!
[Music]
I’m over here! I see you!
Okay, are you hot?
Yeah! Bye-bye!
Let’s go check the puddle!
Okay!
Okay, let’s see if it’s still here!
It’s here!
Now we can splash in the puddle!
Alright, let’s do it!
[Music]
What do we do now, Rex?
When we’re finished splashing through the puddle, we can go into the meadow and get hot, and it will still be here when we get back!
Sounds good!
Uh, Zach, why are you still here?
I said when we finished splashing through the puddle!
Oh, I wasn’t finished yet!
[Music]
So now what?
Well, we dug all the way down here, which is much lower than before, so there should be enough dirt on top as we dig through, don’t you think, Phil?
I think so!
Yeah!
I’ll block the ramp so no one uses it while we’re working!
Oh, good idea, Stretch!
Okay, let’s build!
Get out that way!
Um, Phil, can you help me?
Yeah, okay, just get over here!
Okay, we’re good! I’m ready!
Back!
Alright, go further!
You need a boost? I’ll help you!
Oh, not from the side, maybe…
Wow! Great digging, Derbies!
So all we need to do is widen the tunnel a bit, and then we can go under, and then we can also do this! I’ll show you!
This is going to be great!
Okay, sorry!
Okay, so then, uh, Derbies are over here, right? They’re over here, and then they’re gonna come up and they’re gonna drive over the top as well!
I guess…
Uh-oh! You know what this means!
I know! We have to try again!
Ah, yeah!
Can someone help me up?
I’ll help you!
Hold on!
Oh, thanks, Rex!
Just give me a little push!
I’m stuck!
I’m stuck!
Oh, Rex is really stuck!
Come on!
What are we doing, Zach?
Well, we have to try again, right?
Yep!
So, well, the tunnel was breaking, so maybe…
What we need to do is find a way to make the top of the tunnel stronger!
Oh, because answers are everywhere!
Yeah, so let’s look around!
Do you see anything yet?
Not yet!
I have an oak tree!
Um, let me see…
Oh, oh, wait! Look at this, Rex!
You mean that piece of bark?
Yeah! It looks sort of like a roof!
Do you think it will hold you up?
Well, there’s one way to find out! Let’s load it up!
Okay!
I hope this works!
[Music]
Hey, Stretch!
Hello! Why do you have that bark?
I think it’s just what we need to make the tunnel!
Bark? I don’t know how you can make a tunnel out of bark, but let’s give it a try!
Easy!
[Music]
Should I try it?
Okay, Zach, go ahead!
Okay, here I go!
Underneath and… whoa! The tunnel works!
Okay, I’m gonna try going over the top!
Okay, easy!
Easy!
[Applause]
Is it ready?
Yeah! Can we try it?
It’s ready! Try it out! I’ll stay here!
[Music]
[Applause]
Now there’s a tunnel and a bridge! Good work, Rex!
Thanks!
Hey, I can’t wait to try it myself!
Hey, I want to leave one great big flat rock!
I’m completely really stuck!
Hey!
What do we say when we’re stuck?
Uh, I’m completely really totally…
No, Rex! I mean when we’re stuck for an answer and don’t know what to do!
Oh, we say answers are everywhere! That means we look around and see if we can find an answer!
Yeah! Let’s do it!
Okay, let’s do it!
Yeah, let’s go!
That’s alright, I’m stuck! I’ll wait here!
[Music]
Oh, look at this! A pretty flower!
I don’t know if we can use that to get Rex unstuck!
Look at this! Little tiny mushrooms!
That’s probably not gonna get Rex unstuck!
You know, if we could dig under you or chip the rock away, it would have worked!
You only need to be a bit lower!
Yeah, just a bit!
Yeah, but how?
Hmm… Billy, you and I didn’t have any trouble making it under, but Rex, you’re taller than us!
That’s why you got stuck!
Hmm…
Yeah!
I’m too tall! Maybe we just need to make you shorter!
I’m on it!
Zach, what are you doing?
I’m trying to squish Rex down to make him shorter!
Is it working?
I don’t think so! I’m still stuck!
Oh, guys!
Oh, that’s not gonna work, Zach! But hey, it gives me an idea!
What’s that?
Well, Rex has these big wheels; they’re a part of what makes him so tall!
Oh, I do! I love my tires!
But I’ll bet if we take some air out of your tires, you won’t be as tall!
Oh, that might work! Lily, you’re a good thinker! Let’s do it!
Hey, I fell over! I fell over!
Okay, now don’t take out too much air!
It’ll be okay, Rex! You ready?
Yep!
Okay!
Hey, it’s working!
Yeah, I’m going down!
Alright, Rex! Easy does it! Slowly move forward!
Oh, am I out yet?
Keep coming!
Huh?
Keep coming!
Yet?
Keep coming!
You’re out!
Hey, I did it! I’m out from under the fallen tree!
But now I have flat tires!
It’s okay, Rex! Mika will pump your tires right back up!
Oh, great! Let’s go to Zurby Town!
Yeah, come on! Let’s go to Sharpie Tower!
[Music]
So, can you fix my tires, Mika?
Of course! I’m making the mechanic! I’ve got my air pump right here!
That’s great! Pump them up, Mika!
Here you go, Rex!
And all done!
Alright, and now it’s time for wash day!
Oh, right! Wash day! I forgot all about it!
Oh, that water’s cold!
Yeah, get my size!
[Music]
Sorry!
