ClassX Video Lessons Youtube Channel 9 Story Kids Zerby Derby |????| ROCK DAY CHALLENGE |????| Best of Zerby Town | Clip Compilation | Kids Cars
One sunny day, Bob was trying to explore the bay, but he kept getting stuck on rocks. “Why do you keep getting stuck on rocks, Bob?” asked his friend. Bob explained, “The reflections on the water make it hard to see the rocks, so I can’t explore.” His friends wanted to help him solve this problem.
Bob’s friends thought they could move the rocks out of the way. “How many rocks do you need me to move?” one friend asked. But there were just too many rocks! Moving them one by one would take forever. They needed a new plan.
Another friend suggested, “Maybe we can remember where all the rocks are, and you can go around them.” Bob tried to remember, “There’s one here, another there, and one more over here.” But there were just too many rocks, and Bob couldn’t remember them all.
Bob’s friends didn’t give up. They knew that answers are everywhere! They decided to try something different. They noticed that if they placed a log at an angle, it could help move the rocks away from the path. “Let’s see if it works!” they said excitedly.
With teamwork, they placed the log and watched as the rocks rolled away from the path. “It works!” they cheered. Bob was finally able to explore without getting stuck. They were so happy they solved the problem together!
Later, Bob and his friends learned about balance. They realized that putting a rock in the right spot could help them stay balanced. “It’s all about finding the best place for the rock,” they said. With the rock balanced perfectly, they were ready for more adventures!
Bob and his friends loved exploring and helping each other. They learned that trying different solutions and working together could solve any problem. They couldn’t wait for their next adventure, hoping to see some ducks along the way!
Rock Balancing Challenge: Gather some small rocks or pebbles from your garden or a nearby park. Try to balance them on top of each other to create a small tower. How many rocks can you stack before they fall? Talk about what makes it easier or harder to balance the rocks. Can you find the “best place” for each rock to keep your tower steady?
Water Reflection Experiment: Fill a shallow dish with water and place it outside on a sunny day. Drop a small object, like a pebble, into the water and observe how the reflections change. Can you see how reflections might make it hard to see what’s under the water, just like Bob experienced? Try looking at the water from different angles and talk about what you see.
Teamwork Story Time: With a friend or family member, create a short story about a time you worked together to solve a problem. Draw pictures to illustrate your story. Share your story with others and discuss how teamwork helped you find a solution, just like Bob and his friends did.
Here’s a sanitized version of the provided transcript:

[Music]
Okay, hold on, let me just get aligned here.
Oh, all right, here we go.
Hey, thanks very much, Fred. See you later, Herbies.
Oh, hey, what happened?
Oh, you’ll never guess what I’m stuck on—another rock.
Why do you keep getting stuck on rocks, Bob?
Because the reflections on the water make it too hard to see the rocks in this part of the bay, I guess. I can’t explore. Too bad.
Well, maybe we can solve this problem. We just need to try again.
Oh, uh, what should we do?
I think I know. Is it hooked up, Zach?
Yeah, go head straight.
Okay, pulling.
Oh yes, that worked quite well! I could pull all the rocks out of the bay if you want, Herbies.
How many more do you need me to move?
Well, there’s another one over here, another couple over here, and there’s a big one right here.
I don’t know, Bob, that is a lot of rocks to move.
Well, you’re right. Moving them one at a time is gonna take forever. Maybe there’s another way to solve this problem.
Let’s try again.
Okay, all right. If you need any more of my help, just let me know. I’ll just put this one right here.
Thanks, Strut.
What should we do differently? Maybe we can remember where all the rocks are, and that way you can just go around them.
Yeah, okay. Uh, let’s see. There’s one here, and there’s another one here. And you remember this one, right? Can you see it? I’m sitting on it.
Yep.
Oh, Ed, here, out here.
Okay, that’s a start. Let’s see how you do, Bob.
Yeah, yeah, okay, let me try it.
Okay, you think you can remember, Bob?
I think so.
Okay, let me see. First, I start out and I go straight. There’s a rock there, so I’ve got to go slowly around in this direction. And then I think there’s one—whoa—yeah, there’s one here, so I’ve got to go this way. Uh, let’s see, then there’s a rock there, so I’ve got to go—uh, wait a minute, was there a rock in front of me? Do I have to go this way? Is it left or is it right?
I think it’s left.
Well, I thought it was right. Wait, I can’t—is it? But there’s rocks—did it? Ah, I can’t do it! It’s no use; there’s just too many rocks, and I can’t remember them all.
I guess you’re right; there are just too many rocks. Can we try again? I’m sure there’s an answer to this problem.
Any idea, Zach?
No, I can’t think of anything either.
Should we give up?
No, well, we can’t think of an idea. You know what we say, right? Answers are everywhere!
Ready to try?
Of course! Ready, set, turn!
[Music]
Go around first.
Oh, it looks like it’s working!
All right, that’s one problem solved. I’m going back in my garage.
[Music]
Why is it not working?
Look what I can’t see!
Hold on.
Oh no, it looks like the rocks just kept piling up and then they spilled over. Is there a rock in front of my door?
Uh-huh.
Yeah, we’re sorry, Axel.
So I guess we have to try again.
Yeah, we have to try again.
All right, let’s get all this stuff cleaned.
Yeah, hold on, Axel.
Huh, well that’s all the gravel moved away, but it’s too bad the stick didn’t work.
Yeah, what do you want me to do, Lily?
Oh, well, why don’t we take it down and come up with something else?
Okay, you want me to take these supports out?
Yeah, yeah, take your supports out, Zach.
Okay, here we go.
Oh, the log moved!
Oh, hey, Zach, look at the stones!
What stones?
Where?
Stones! Look, they’re rolling down the hill! It looks like if the log is at an angle, it moves stones away from the garage. Maybe that’s the answer!
Oh yeah, if we can’t stop or block the rock slide, maybe we could change its direction. We can put this log on an angle, and then the stones won’t hit your garage, Axel.
Well, that sounds like a good idea. Why don’t we see if it works?
Okay, let’s see if it works, Lily. Let’s climb the hill.
We’re gonna go see if it works!
Go, Zerbies! Come on, this way, Zach!
Watch me, Lily!
Hey, where’d you go?
I’m over here!
Sorry, I’m pushing you!
Hey, it looks like it’s working!
Oh yeah, almost!
[Music]
We made it to the top of the hill! Wow!
Hey, let’s go see if Axel’s okay.
Okay, come on, come on, let’s go!
So did it work, Axel?
Hey, look, there’s no gravel in front of your door! We did it!
Hey, Zerbies, there’s a bit of a problem.
What’s that?
Well, the gravel all kind of went over there.
See?
[Music]
Whoops! Look at all the gravel over here now!
Yeah, it must have rolled down the stick and then ended up here.
Well, you know what? You guys just need a longer stick!
Oh yeah, a longer stick! That’ll do it!
Come on, Lily, let’s go get a longer stick!
Yeah, great idea! But wait, Zerbies, you need to clear the gravel first.
I can’t quite get out of my driveway!
Huh?
Hello!
What if I put some rocks on your back?
Oh, how would they stay?
Maybe I could make a box to put the rocks in, you know, like your bucket.
Oh yeah, that would work!
Okay, all done! What do you think?
Oh wow, it’s amazing!
Let me try it!
Um, it’s not working.
Oh, that’s because we haven’t put in any rocks yet!
Oh right! You need more weight so the basket will hold these rocks.
And jumping!
Oh, it works!
More weight on my back means I can balance more weight on my front.
Are you ready for a full load of turret Rex?
Yeah, load me up!
Okay, here we go!
Okay, all right, lifting!
Oh, what’s happening?
Uh, tilting again?
Did the rocks fall off?
Uh, nope, the rocks are still there.
Then why?
Oh, the dirt!
What do you mean?
Well, now I’m not just trying to lift a scoop; I’m trying to lift the weight of ten scoops of dirt!
Oh, it’s much heavier!
Oh yeah, I guess I’ll have to try again.
Oh, good idea, Phil! But what do you want to do?
Add more rocks! That’ll make me even heavier at the back so I can balance all the weight at the front.
Uh, if you say so.
How’s that? Is that enough rocks?
I don’t know, Phil, that looks like a lot of rocks!
Well, let’s see if it works!
Okay, lifting up!
Oh, it’s so heavy, but I can do it!
Where?
I’m not tilting!
It works!
Okay, I’ll get in position.
Okay, I got it!
I had to put it down.
I’m ready, Phil!
Uh, okay, I’m gonna drag it over to you.
Wow, all these rocks in this big scoop! I’m so heavy!
Okay, I’m just gonna pull it a little bit further, and then you come in front of the scoop, okay, Rex?
Yeah, sounds good!
There! Now all you have to do is lift!
Okay, okay, here it goes!
[Music]
Almost there! You can do it, Phil!
[Music]
I think I’m gonna go back to my old scoop.
Like that?
I didn’t realize how much more weight a giant scoop would be! The scoop is heavy, the dirt is heavy, the rocks I need to balance the scoop are heavy! I’m pretty tired!
I guess that’s true; it really would be a lot more weight.
Yes, a lot more!
Well, I don’t blame him for being tired.
Me neither!
I ordered pickles on the side.
Well, at least he got to take a nap on the job!
Good point! Let’s drive away quietly back over this way. I know some great rocks we can go in between!
That’s a great idea!
Over here! Right here!
Oh, this one’s straight ahead is too small.
Um, that could be too tight of a squeeze.
Excuse me!
Okay, let me see. This one is way too small.
Okay, I think I can fit through here!
Oh yeah, you’re doing it!
I’m making it!
I did it!
Wait a minute, I don’t know if you can make it through there, Lily.
No, I can try!
There! I got through that one!
No, let me try this one!
No, I can’t do it!
Looks like we’re gonna have to try again.
Yeah, well, that’s a good idea! Let’s look around; there must be something we can do!
Answers are everywhere!
Well, I see rocks—big rocks and small rocks—and I’m still kind of stuck.
Wait a minute! Rocks! That’s it! Come on, Lily, let’s go back to the beginning!
Okay!
Um, Zach?
Yeah, I’m stuck!
Oh, here, let me help you out, and then we’ll go!
Okay, come on!
Come on, Lily, it’s this way!
So what’s your plan?
You’ll see!
Zach to Chase!
Come in, Chase!
Hiya, Zach! What can I help you with?
Can you get Sandy to meet us at the end of Zurby Town Lake?
Well, sure thing, Zach! I’ll get her right away!
[Music]
Okay, Sandy should be here any minute. So what’s your plan?
I’ll show you! See that gap between those two rocks over there?
Yeah, I see it!
What are you thinking?
You’ll see!
Excuse me!
Oh, pardon me!
Hey guys, she said you were looking for me!
Hi, Sandy! Do you think you can push some rocks into that gap for us?
I’m a bulldozer; pushing things is what I do best!
Oh, I’ll get right to work!
I still don’t get what we’re doing.
Well, I was thinking back about when you tried to drive over me.
Oh, sorry about that! I thought it would work!
I love pushing rocks!
Yeah, but I think it would work; we just need something else in the gap besides me—a little more.
How’s it coming, Sandy?
Rocks okay? Just move them around just a little bit more.
Nice! Almost there!
Oh yeah, that’s filling in real nice!
Real nice!
Ah, there we are! We’re done!
Thanks, Sandy! That looks great!
See, now there’s something between the rocks we can drive across—more rocks!
Hey, look at that! That’s a smart idea, Zach!
Zach!
Hey, Zach, wait for me!
Come on, wait!
Hey, Annie, look at these rocks!
Oh wow, this must be it!
Oh, what is it?
I heard Zach and Lily were building a trail on top of the rocks!
Okay, let’s check it out!
Come on!
All right, you go first!
Whoa!
All right, come on this way!
I’m right behind you!
Hey, wait a minute! Look at that! We did it!
We got to the other side!
Yeah!
What do you want to do now?
Let’s go back!
Oh, look who it is!
Oh hi, Jake!
Hi, Annie!
What are you doing on the rocks?
Well, it looked like fun, so we thought we would drive along them!
How about you guys?
Well, we can’t all just—
Yeah!
I’ve got lots of room on my wing!
Maybe you can put the rock there, Strut!
Okay, here comes the rock!
Oh, I’ve tipped to the side!
Is it no good?
It’s better than before, but I’m not sure it’s the right solution.
I don’t think I could do anything but go in a circle!
Let me try! Put a rock on my side, please!
All right, let me pick up a rock!
On your side?
Yep, on my side!
Are you sure?
Yeah, yeah, it’s okay! Let it go!
All right, letting go!
Oh, now—
Well, hold on, Bob! Let me lift you out!
I can’t see what’s happening!
Uh, I guess we’re trying again!
Okay, say, King!
We tried front, we tried back, and we tried sides!
We’ve tried everything!
Careful!
Well, oh, uh, Strut, can you help me?
Sure, Zach!
What happened?
I was gonna help the construction project by driving this rock the long way around the lake, but it slipped down when I was driving down the hill.
Oh, hey, that’s what happened to me!
Yeah, I started with that rock right behind my roof, but coming down the hill, it slipped forward, and then I started tilting forward, and then I couldn’t keep it balanced anymore!
Why?
Well, it’s all about balance! You have to put the rock where it doesn’t make you lose your balance!
Balance, huh?
Here, uh, no, a little further back, please!
All right, and how about there?
How’s that?
Uh, good! Nice balance!
In the middle is best, but it’s all about testing and finding the best place!
See? Look, I can move back and forth like this!
Great!
Okay, see you later, Zerbies!
So not on the front, not on the back, or the sides, but in the middle where it balances!
Yeah, let’s try it!
Okay, here comes a rock, Bob!
And how is that?
Uh, feels a little bit too far forward, Strut!
Oh, try a little further back!
Uh, behind my eyes, maybe?
All right, maybe here?
Yeah, try it there!
Okay, put it down!
Oh!
Oh, hey, yeah, that feels good!
That feels balanced!
All right, you ready, Bob?
My rock is balanced perfectly!
Pretty close to my center, just in the right spot so I don’t tip!
Yeah, let’s go!
Ready, set, turbo!
Good luck, sir!
Please!
Well, we’re doing it!
Yeah, we’re doing it!
I love helping!
Me too!
Hey, we’d make good construction service!
I agree!
I can’t wait to get to the construction site!
Me neither!
It’s too bad we didn’t see any ducks, though!
I know! I would love to see a duck!
I have not seen any ducks!
I’m pretty sure there aren’t any ducks on this lake because if we would have seen a duck by now, if there were any ducks!
Yeah, you would tell me if you saw one!
I’d be very excited to see one too!
You told me, though!
