One day, Zack and Lily were trying to find each other at the marsh. They were talking on their radios, but they couldn’t see each other. Zack thought it was funny because they sounded so close, but they were nowhere near each other!
Lily had an idea. She told Zack to honk his horn so she could follow the sound. But when Zack honked, the sound seemed to come from everywhere because of the water. It was confusing!
Since sound wasn’t working, Lily suggested using sight. She decided to bump a tree so Zack could see the top of the tree waving. But Zack couldn’t see any waving trees, which meant Lily wasn’t nearby.
They decided to follow a map to find each other. The map showed a path with stacked rocks and a tree. They found the right trail and followed it, hoping it would lead them to each other.
As they followed the trail, they discovered a line of rocks that looked like circles on the map. This meant they were close to finding something special. Finally, they found a rock with an X on it. X marks the spot!
They opened a treasure chest and found a beautiful jewel. It was a treasure from Lily’s great aunt!
Throughout their adventure, Zack and Lily learned that sometimes things don’t work out the first time. But if you keep trying and think of new ideas, you can solve any problem!
In the end, Zack, Lily, and their friends had a great time exploring and learning together. They realized that teamwork and trying again can lead to exciting discoveries!
Remember, if something doesn’t work the first time, don’t give up. Try a different way, and you might find a solution. Adventure is all about exploring and learning new things!
Sound Exploration: Try an experiment with a friend or family member. Stand in different parts of a room or outside and take turns making a sound, like clapping or ringing a bell. Close your eyes and see if you can guess where the sound is coming from. Talk about how the sound changes when you are near water or in an open space. Why do you think it was hard for Zack and Lily to find each other using sound?
Map Making Adventure: Create a simple map of your backyard, a park, or a room in your house. Use symbols to mark important spots, like a tree, a swing, or a chair. Then, hide a small “treasure” (like a toy or a treat) and mark it with an X on your map. Invite a friend or family member to follow your map to find the treasure. How does using a map help you find things more easily?
Problem-Solving Challenge: Think of a time when something didn’t work out the first time, like building a block tower that fell over or trying to solve a puzzle. What did you do to solve the problem? Draw a picture or write a short story about how you tried a new way and what you learned from it. Share your story with your class or family. How can trying again help you discover new solutions?
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:
—
[Music]
Huh, Zack, you’re not here. Where are you, Zack?
Zack: Hmm, Lily to Zack, come in, Zack.
Lily: Hi, Lily, I read you. I’m right here by the marsh.
Zack: But you’re not! Are you joking?
Lily: I’m right here by the water, but as far as I can see, there’s no Zack.
Zack: No, I’m not joking. I got my tires right near the water too, and I can’t see you anywhere.
Lily: Okay, this is really weird because I can hear you as if you’re right beside me, but you’re not.
Zack: That’s because we’re talking on the radio. We always sound close over the radio.
Lily: Oh yeah, well at least we can talk to each other, right? We’re just going to have to try again to find each other, Zack.
Zack: Hmm, right. So what will we do differently?
Lily: Oh, I got it! Stay right there and honk your horn.
Zack: My horn?
Lily: Yeah, honk, and I’ll follow the sound.
[Music]
Zack: I hear it! I hear it! Okay, I’m coming! Here I come!
Lily: Hey, wait a minute!
Zack: No, it’s coming from over there!
Lily: Okay, here I come!
Zack: Wait a minute! No, it sounds like it’s coming from over there now!
Lily: Wait, no, where is it coming from? Here or over here?
Zack: No!
Lily: Huh?
Zack: Lily, we have a problem.
Lily: We do? Can’t you hear my horn?
Zack: I can hear your horn loud and clear.
Lily: So what’s the problem, Zack?
Zack: The problem is that it sounds like it’s coming from everywhere! The water makes it seem like the sound is coming from all around me.
Lily: You’re right, that is a problem. But you know what? Zurby’s doing—we have a problem, try, try again!
Zack: So what should we do differently?
Lily: Hmm, well, sound seems to come from everywhere over water, so maybe instead of sound, we should use vision.
Zack: Oh, good idea!
Lily: Okay, Zack, I know how to do this. Why don’t I bump a tree, and then when you see the top of the tree waving, you can come and find me because I’ll be right underneath it.
Zack: Okay, ready? Start waving!
Lily: Okay, here I go!
Zack: Okay, start now!
Lily: I’ve already started!
Zack: Doc, can’t you see the tree waving at you?
Lily: Uh, no, I don’t see anything. Wait, let me look over here.
Zack: That’s just wind.
Lily: Uh, no.
Zack: Okay, well that tells us something, Zack.
Lily: Yeah, that I can’t see the waving tree.
Zack: Yes, but it also tells us that you’re not in front of me or even right near me.
Lily: It does, sure it does! Otherwise, you would have seen the tree waving.
Zack: Good point!
Lily: So now what do we do?
Zack: We try, try again, Derby style! Let’s see, what should we do next?
Lily: Um, let me look around here. Whoa, okay, nothing over there. I just got turned around.
Zack: Well, it looks like we follow a path from this tree around a turn till we find a bunch of stacked rocks.
Lily: All right, follow the trail to the treasure side!
Zack: What’s wrong?
Lily: We have to make sure to pick the right trail.
Zack: Oh, huh, I guess I got excited. How do we know which one is the right trail?
Lily: Oh, maybe the map can tell us! Look, the trail starts on the right side of the tree.
Zack: Oh, and goes straight away from it!
Lily: I can’t see; I’m upside down!
Zack: Well, this path behind us is the right one.
Lily: Oh, you’re right! Goldie, follow me, scallywags!
[Music]
Lily: Oh wait, you forgot the bed!
Zack: And there it is, the stacked rocks! I think we found it! Huzzah!
Lily: Wait, how do we know for sure this is it?
Zack: Yeah, we don’t want to take the wrong trail.
Lily: Well, it looks just like it does on the map—rocks with a big one across the top and a tree on the other side.
Zack: And now look at the map! See, it’s the same thing!
Lily: I can’t see; I’m upside down again!
Zack: Our way down the trail, we go, pirates!
[Music]
Lily: Do you see any circles?
Zack: No, I don’t see any circles. We need a line of circles!
Lily: Right, well that’s what the map said. Check it again!
Zack: Yep, see? Line of circles.
Lily: Hmm, do you see any circles, Zack?
Zack: I can’t see any circles from up here. I don’t see any circles around here.
Lily: Maybe the circles are supposed to be something.
Zack: Oh, I get it! The circles are supposed to be something like a cereal!
Lily: I don’t think it’s cereal.
Zack: How about tires?
Lily: Well, I don’t see any tires up here.
Zack: Me neither. Maybe it’s a snake or maybe rocks.
Lily: Oh! Hey, rocks! It’s this long line of rocks! These are the circles! That means we’re almost there!
[Music]
Lily: I can’t believe it! Hey, look at this! There’s a rock with an X on it!
Zack: I can’t see! Where?
Lily: Right there! Look! An X! X marks the spot!
Zack: Oh, this must be it! This must be the treasure!
Lily: Spinning spark plugs!
Zack: Oh, it’s a treasure chest! Lily, open it! Open it!
Lily: Oh, okay, okay, okay! Here we go! Here we go!
Zack: Whoa! Beautiful! This must be your great aunt’s treasure! It looks like the jewel from her tiara!
Lily: Oh, put it on, Goldie!
Goldie: That looks beautiful! Are you sure I can wear it?
Lily: Well, it is your great-aunt’s treasure after all!
Zack: Well, that was the best pirate adventure I’ve had in a long time!
Lily: Our captain, Purple Bumper, agrees!
Zack: Oh yes!
Goldie: No, Goldie, you’re supposed to say—
Zack: Oh, I was going too slow for the jump, and the turns were slow!
Lily: Also, I don’t think I see the difference.
Zack: Yeah, it’s kind of hard to see when you go so slow, but you’re doing turn, turn, turn, turn, jump!
Lily: And that’s not it!
Zack: But that doesn’t make any sense! There’s four turns in a jump!
Lily: No, no, no! Why don’t you show him, Axel?
Axel: Oh yeah, okay! I’ll do it again, and I’ll show you how to do it!
Zack: Uh-huh!
Axel: Okay, good!
Zack: Are you watching closely, Zack?
Zack: Yeah!
Axel: All right, ready, set, turbo!
[Music]
[Applause]
Zack: Oh, okay, I got it now! I got to know!
Axel: All right, all right! Ready, set, turbo again!
Zack: Turn!
Axel: Oh, turn!
Zack: Ah, didn’t work!
Axel: Okay, I really don’t get it! There’s four turns and a jump!
Zack: Yeah, but you and Axel are doing it differently!
Axel: What are we doing differently?
Zack: It’s turn, turn, turn, turn, jump!
Axel: No, that’s not it!
Zack: No, no, no! It’s turn, turn, turn, turn, jump!
Axel: What? That’s still four turns!
Zack: Oh, I think I know what’s going on! Come on, I’ll show you!
Axel: Okay, watch Axel do it one more time!
Zack: Okay!
Axel: Yeah, who’s here?
Zack: Okay, now watch Axel! You ready, Zack?
Axel: Turn, turn, turn, turn!
Zack: And you see, that’s what I was doing!
Axel: No, no, they’re not the same thing! You’re supposed to go turn, turn, turn, turn, jump!
Zack: But you’re going turn, turn, turn, turn, jump!
Axel: I don’t get it! That’s the same pattern—four turns and a jump!
Zack: It’s the same pattern, but it’s not the same rhythm!
Axel: The same one rhythm, Zack! Let’s do it again and turn when I tell you to, okay? Just a little bit slower!
Zack: Turn, turn!
Axel: And then turn!
Zack: Turn down!
Axel: Oh, I get it! It goes turn, turn, turn, turn, jump! The first two turns are fast, and the second two turns are slow! That’s why I kept falling off!
Axel: Speaking of drones, it’s my turn again! Come on, let’s go!
Zack: Ready, set, turbo! Turn, turn, turn!
[Music]
Zack: Okay, it’s my turn! I want to try it!
Axel: Oh yeah, it’s your turn now, Lily! You go ahead!
Lily: Okay, watch this! Ready, set, turbo! Turn, turn!
[Music]
Zack: Hey, why aren’t you jumping, Lily?
Lily: Huh? Uh, Chris, you’re in the way!
Chris: Oh, right! Sorry!
Lily: It’s okay because I’ve got a new idea!
Chris: Uh, what is it?
Lily: How does this work? Here’s the new pattern: turn, turn, turn, turn, piggyback ride!
Zack: Let’s go!
Lily: Look, Zurby’s! I found the perfect spot!
Zack: Oh, I wanted to look!
Lily: No need, Zack! Flynn needs water to land, and water’s easy to find! I mean, look around here! See, there’s water over there!
Zack: There’s water over there! It’s great!
Lily: Oh yeah, I guess so!
Bob: A bob to Flynn! We’ve got some water for you to land on over here!
Flynn: Okay, Bob, thanks! I’m coming in for a landing!
Zack: He didn’t land!
Flynn: What’s wrong?
Zack: Well, that water’s all right, but there’s not a lot of room!
Flynn: Uh-oh! Planes like me need a long stretch of water to use as a water runway because I come in fast!
Zack: Oh yeah, I guess there isn’t much room in this part of the bay! Sorry, Zurby’s!
Flynn: I just can’t land there!
Zack: No problem, Flynn! We’ll just try, try again and find you a good place to land!
Flynn: I guess it’s not going to be this spot. I’ll stay circling up here until you do!
Zack: Why don’t we go back there, friend?
Flynn: Okay, here we go!
Zack: What about over there, friend?
Flynn: Hmm, this stretch of water looks pretty open!
Zack: Yeah, this stretch of water is really long!
Flynn: Come on in, Flynn! It’s all set!
Flynn: Coming in for a landing!
Zack: Oh, I’m not sure!
Flynn: Why?
Zack: Is it not big enough?
Flynn: No, it’s big enough!
Zack: Is it not watery enough?
Flynn: No, it’s all water!
Zack: Oh, then what’s wrong?
Flynn: Well, see all those sticks and logs that are floating in the water?
Zack: Uh, yeah, yeah!
Flynn: Well, I can’t land with all of them there! I might hit one of them! I need the runway to be water open and clear of anything I could hit!
Zack: Oh, that makes sense! Sorry, Zurby’s!
Flynn: Don’t worry, we’ll figure it out!
Zack: We can figure it out, right?
Flynn: Of course we can! Let’s look around! Answers are everywhere!
Zack: Yeah, let’s go over here!
Flynn: Yeah, let’s find a place without any logs!
Zack: Oh, there’s a log over here, friend!
Flynn: Oh, it’s no good, Zack! There are logs everywhere!
Zack: Oh wait, I have an idea!
Flynn: What is it?
Zack: Maybe we can move it! If we move enough logs and sticks out of the way, Flynn will have enough space to land!
Flynn: Oh, great idea! Let’s try it!
Zack: Yeah, see if you can push it!
Flynn: Can you push it?
Zack: I can!
Flynn: Oh hey, it’s working! You’re pushing it!
Zack: Ha ha! I’ll just push it over here to the side!
Flynn: Come on, help us out, Bob!
Bob: Oh, okay! I’ll push this one out of the way!
Flynn: This is the big one! Here we go!
Zack: I’ve almost got this one!
Flynn: Here we go!
Zack: All right!
Flynn: Pushing, pushing!
Zack: Okay, there! One perfect watery runway! Not too small and nothing to hit!
Flynn: Okay, Flynn, we’re all set!
Flynn: It’s a good thing too! I was getting tired up here!
Zack: Coming in for a landing!
[Applause]
Zack: You did it! You did it! That was great, Flynn! Now you can come with us and explore!
Flynn: I don’t need to explore!
Zack: You don’t?
Flynn: No, I’ve already seen everything from the air!
Zack: Oh, that’s too bad!
Flynn: Yeah, and there’s some fun places just up here!
Zack: Okay, I’ll try it! I’ll try it!
Flynn: Okay, nothing’s happening!
Zack: Are you okay?
Flynn: Uh, yeah! Did I win?
Zack: Uh, not exactly! You didn’t really move the logs at all!
Flynn: But, but you still have a chance!
Zack: But I’m gonna try, try again!
[Music]
Zack: Good for you! Uh, what else can you try?
Flynn: Well, I don’t know! Racers aren’t used to hauling things!
Zack: What would a truck do?
Flynn: Well, if it was me, I would only take as big a load as I could manage, and I’d probably pull instead of push!
Zack: It’s easier to see where you’re going!
Flynn: So what if I tried pulling the logs and I pulled them one at a time?
Zack: That might work! But you have to do the race three times! You have to come back for each log!
Flynn: Yeah, but I’m super fast, and I’m gonna try! Can you help me attach the log so I can try?
Zack: Sure thing! But we have to hurry!
Flynn: Okay!
Zack: Okay, hold on!
Flynn: Okay, I think you’re good!
Zack: Okay, go! Go, Axel! Here I go!
[Music]
Zack: Yeah, but you have to bring the other logs!
Flynn: Oh yeah, I forgot! All right, ready, set, turbo!
Zack: Hi, Axel! Come on!
Flynn: Okay, quick, quick, quick! Second try! The second log!
Zack: Okay, good to go!
Flynn: Yeah! All right, doing great, Axel!
Zack: Whoa! These are heavy! But that’s two!
[Music]
Flynn: Okay, there’s still time! I can do it!
Zack: Okay, ready?
Flynn: Yep! Set!
Zack: Oh no! We’re almost at the finish line!
Flynn: Come on! I can do it!
Zack: Here we go!
[Music]
[Applause]
Zack: All right, Axel! You made it with all three logs! Way to go!
Flynn: I told you I could do it!
Zack: So who won?
Flynn: It was a three-way tie! That means you all won!
Zack: All right! Great job, Axel!
Flynn: Yeah, you can be part of a construction derby race any time!
Zack: Oh, that’s great!
Flynn: In fact, since we all tied, we should have another race as a tiebreaker!
Zack: Hey, yeah! This time we should take five logs!
Flynn: Yeah, or big rocks! Four rocks and logs together!
Zack: Wow, that sounds fun!
