Today is a special day because it’s garage painting day! Everyone is excited to make their garages look nice and colorful. Zach and Jewel are busy painting their garages. Jewel’s garage looks amazing, and Zach’s garage looks just like him!
After finishing their garages, Zach and Lily start wondering about Bob the Boat’s garage. They can’t remember what it looks like, so they decide to go find Bob and see for themselves.
Zach and Lily zoom over to the docks to find Bob. “Hey Bob!” they call out. Bob waves and says hello. But when they ask about his garage, Bob surprises them by saying, “Oh, I don’t have a garage. I just sleep right here on the docks.”
Zach and Lily feel a little sad that Bob doesn’t have a garage. They come up with a fun idea: “Let’s build a garage for Bob and surprise him!” They get super excited and start planning how to make a garage that floats on the water, just like Bob.
First, they try to build a garage that floats using sticks. Sticks float, so they think it’s a great idea! They work together to attach the garage to the sticks and place it on the water. But oh no! The garage floats away!
Zach and Lily don’t give up. They look around for new ideas. Suddenly, Lily stands on a rock and realizes something. “Hey, rocks don’t float away!” she says. Zach gets a brilliant idea to use rocks to keep the garage in place.
They gather lots of rocks and place them in the water. Then, they carefully put the garage on top of the rocks. Hooray! The garage stays right where it should be, and Bob is super happy!
Bob tries out his new garage and loves it. He can even hang up pictures inside! Bob is so grateful to Zach and Lily for building him a cozy place to rest. After a busy day, Bob feels sleepy and falls asleep in his new garage.
Good night, Bob! Sweet dreams in your wonderful new garage!
Floating and Sinking Experiment: Gather a small tub of water and a variety of objects (e.g., sticks, rocks, plastic toys, leaves). Ask the children to predict which items will float and which will sink. Let them test their predictions by placing each item in the water. Discuss why some items float and others sink, relating it to the story of Bob’s garage.
Build Your Own Mini Garage: Provide children with materials like small boxes, paper, and tape to create their own mini garages. Encourage them to think about how they can make their garage stable, just like Zach and Lily did with rocks. Once built, let them decorate their garages with crayons or stickers.
Observation Walk: Take the children on a short walk around the school or playground. Ask them to observe and point out things that are floating or sinking in puddles or water features. Encourage them to think about why certain objects behave the way they do in water.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript, removing any unnecessary or repetitive elements while maintaining the essence of the conversation:

I love garage painting day! Hey Jewel, your garage looks great! Do you think it’s big enough? I don’t want Zues to think I don’t love jewels.
Oh, I think they’ll see that! Great job!
Hey Zach, did you finish your garage?
I did! What do you think?
I like it! It looks just like you!
I never noticed how much each Zerby’s garage looks like them.
Hey, what does Bob the boat’s garage look like?
Hmm, I can’t remember. Let’s go find out!
Okay!
Catch me, Lily!
Okay, you got me!
Wait for me!
Come on this way, Lily!
Okay, open the log!
Wait, here I come!
You’ll be okay!
Oh, watch!
Ready?
Oh, good for you, Lily!
Okay, come on, let’s go see Bob!
This way!
Hey Bob!
Oh hi Zach, hi Lily! What’s going on? Where’s your garage, Bob?
Oh, I don’t have a garage.
You don’t? Why not?
Well, I never thought I needed one. I just sleep right there on the docks at night.
But what if it rains?
Oh, I’m a boat! I’m always wet. A little rain never bothers me.
Okay, see you later!
I don’t know why, but it makes me feel sad that Bob doesn’t have a garage of his own.
Me too! Come on, I have a plan!
I always thought he had a garage at the other end of the lake.
No, he doesn’t have one!
Hey, we could build him one and surprise him with it!
Ooh, that’s a good idea!
Yeah, let’s do it!
Ready, set, turbo!
Okay, let’s go!
This is good!
Okay, let’s just lift the windows into place.
Oh, that looks great!
Yeah, I think it’s going to be great!
Hey Bob!
Hi! What’s going on?
Tada!
Is that a garage for me? Wow!
We all thought you should have a garage! What do you think?
Wow, it’s great! Where do you want it?
Over here in the water!
Okay, I’ll just swing it out and lower it down.
Perfect!
Oh no, it sank!
Sadly, I’m not a submarine, so I can’t go underwater. Bob’s garage needs to stay on top of the water.
Yes, you’re right!
It’s okay, we’ll just try again.
So what should we do differently?
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!
Alright, let’s go!
I’ll get the garage out of the water. Just let me know when you’re back with the sticks.
Okay, here are some sticks!
We’ll line them up like this, and then there’s an opening 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!
Wow, this is great! My own garage!
I just want to say thank you, Zerbies! I never had a garage before, and I didn’t think I needed one. 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!
Oh no, I better go get it!
The garage didn’t work. I guess we should try again, but I don’t know what to do.
Don’t worry, Zach! Answers are everywhere!
Hey, let’s go look around!
Oh, good idea, Lily!
Okay, 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 of these rocks.
What we’re going to do is place the rocks in the water where Bob’s garage will go.
I still don’t get it, Zach. How are rocks going to work?
Ah, but you see, we don’t need his garage to float.
Nope, floating the garage didn’t work this time. We’re going to put rocks in the water, and the garage will sit on top of the rocks.
Oh, I get it! Good idea!
I’ll start placing the rocks.
Swing it out and put it right there!
Oh, I see! So it would fit right in here!
Hey, that’s great!
Here we go! Here comes the garage!
Careful!
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 going to try it!
Alright!
Hey, hey! Look, I can drive right in here!
Hey, there’s a spot to hang up pictures!
Oh, that closes the door! That’s great!
This place is good! It makes me sleepy!
Oh my, I think he fell asleep!
Okay, come on!
I mean, it has been a busy day!
No garage all this time!
Good night, Bob!
