Transcript: Aerodynamics
Cool Cat runs a race. He is a blue robot cat made up from a toaster and a skateboard. Hamza has curly black hair, and wears glasses and a blue shirt.
Hamza says GO, COOL CAT! EVER WISH
YOU COULD GO AS FAST AS
A SUPERHERO?
Aerodynamic Man says AERODYNAMIC MAN!
Hamza says SOME THINGS MOVE THROUGH
THE AIR MORE EASILY THAN
OTHERS. WHOA! AH! TO FIND OUT
WHY, WE'LL RACE ROCKETS
WITH AN ASTRONAUT...
Marc says BLAST OFF!
Hamza says...BIKE AGAINST THE WIND,
AND MEET A PENGUIN WITH HAPPY
FEET. TODAY ON...
Sabrina says LOOK.
Leanna says COOL.
The theme music plays.
Hamza spins and puts on a pair of glasses. Through his glasses, we can see colourful 3D objects falling to an open field.
Cool Cat says MEOW!
A multicolored city builds up. The title of the show unfolds next to fireworks in the sky. It reads "Look Kook."
Imitating a plane roaring, Hamza walks into a colourful studio packed with objects and construction paper.
Hamza says OH! HI! I WAS JUST
DOING SOME GEOMETRY
EXPERIMENTS WITH THESE
PAPER AIRPLANES. THE WAY
THINGS ARE SHAPED SEEMS
TO MAKE A LOT OF DIFFERENCE
ON HOW THEY MOVE THROUGH AIR.
HUH! A FAN! SINCE WHEN DO WE
HAVE A FAN?
WHOA! WHOA!
AH!
Hamza turns on the fan. The air pushes him backwards and he finds it hard to walk.
Hamza says AH! OOH! THAT WAS HARD! SEE,
NOW, SOMETIMES IT'S REALLY
DIFFICULT TO MOVE THROUGH THE
AIR. DO SOME SHAPES MOVE THROUGH
THE AIR BETTER THAN OTHER
SHAPES? TO FIND OUT,
LET'S DO A RACE!
(ENGINES REVVING)
THREE, TWO, ONE, GO!
GO, COOL CAT!
Cool Cat competes against a red race car toy.
Hamza says OHHH!
AWWWW.
Cool Cat says MEOW!
THE CAR WINS THE RACE.
Hamza says WELL, THIS CAR WAS MADE
TO GO FAST.
Cool Cat says MEOW!
Hamza says BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME,
COOL CAT. BUT I WOULD LIKE
TO KNOW WHAT EXACTLY MAKES
THIS CAR GO FAST.
(music plays)
A slate shows cool cat breaking into pieces and coming into one again. The slate reads "Deconstruct."
Hamza says IT'S TIME FOR A...
DECONSTRUCT!
Hamza points to the car sitting on a table with the palms of his hands. A colourful hologram of the car raises and turns.
Hamza says WHOA! ARE YOU SEEING WHAT I'M
SEEING? THE CAR IS SYMMETRICAL,
IT'S LONGER THAN IT IS WIDE, AND
IT'S GOT A LOT OF SMOOTH CURVES
AND NOT A LOT OF BOXY, STRAIGHT
LINES. ALL THESE THINGS SEEM TO
HELP THE CAR GO FAST.
I WONDER WHAT YOU CALL THE SHAPE
OF SOMETHING THAT LOOKS LIKE IT
MOVES FAST AND EASILY THROUGH
THE AIR.
Shorty says THE WORD YOU'RE LOOKING FOR
IS STREAMLINED.
Hamza says THAT MUST BE MY ROCKET
SCIENTIST GUEST.
Shorty says NICE STUDIO YOU GOT
HERE, HAMZA.
Hamza says WAIT, WHO ARE YOU?
Hamza appears as Shorty McGee. He’s wearing a penguin costume and speaks with a high-pitched voice.
Shorty says I'M SHORTY! SHORTY MCGEE!
Hamza says YOU'RE A... PENGUIN.
Shorty says WOW, YOU'RE SMART.
YOU SHOULD BE ON TV!
Hamza says UH, I'M SUPPOSED TO BE
TALKING TO A ROCKET SCIENTIST.
Shorty says WELL WHAT AM I,
CHOPPED LIVER? AH!
Hamza says NO, I WAS JUST... UH, DO YOU
KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THINGS THAT
LOOK LIKE THEY MOVE FAST
THROUGH THE AIR?
Shorty says WELL, I KNOW THEY'RE CALLED
STREAMLINED AND I KNOW AN EVEN
FANCIER WORD: AERODYNAMIC!
The words "streamlined" and "aerodynamic" appear in a blue box on the screen.
Shorty continues AERODYNAMICS IS THE SCIENCE OF
HOW AIR PUSHES AGAINST THINGS.
Shorty says WE CALL SOMETHING AERODYNAMIC IF
IT'S GOOD AT MOVING THROUGH THE
AIR. LIKE ME!
Hamza says HAHAHAHA! LIKE YOU? I MEAN....
NO OFFENSE, BUT PENGUINS
DON'T FLY.
Shorty says DO YOU HAVE LIKE A BIG FAN
HERE, OR SOMETHING. I THOUGHT
I SAW ONE.
Hamza says A FAN? NO. NOPE. NO FAN.
Shorty says WELL, SURE YOU DO. LOOK AT
THIS BUTTON; IT'S GOT A GIANT
FAN RIGHT ON IT.
Hamza says NO, NO, NO, DON'T TOUCH THAT.
WHOA!
Shorty says SO IF YOU PUT YOUR HAND PARALLEL
TO THE WIND, THE AIR MOVES
AROUND IT SMOOTHLY. BUT IF YOU
HOLD OUT YOUR HAND LIKE THIS,
Shorty puts his hand in a vertical position.
Shorty continues YOU CAN FEEL THE AIR PUSHING
AGAINST IT AND WE CALL THAT
DRAG. THINGS THAT CREATE LESS
DRAG ARE AERODYNAMIC, LIKE ME.
I MOVE THROUGH THE AIR
LIKE BUTTER!
The word "drag" appears in a blue box on the screen.
Hamza turns off the fan and says AH...
UH...
BUT PENGUINS DON'T FLY.
Shorty says LISTEN, BUDDY, I FLY ALL
THE TIME. I'M ABOUT TO FLY OUT
OF HERE IN A COUPLE OF MINUTES,
AFTER I SHOW YOU THIS.
Shorty moves his wing and a clip shows a long white ribbon floating over a red car.
Shorty continues WHEN AIR FLOWS AGAINST
STREAMLINED THINGS, IT FLOWS
REALLY SMOOTHLY. WE CAN SEE THS
IN A WIND TUNNEL USED TO TEST
THE AERODYNAMICS OF CARS. WHEN
IT BLOWS AGAINST BOXY THINGS,
THE AIR GETS ALL MIXED UP. WE
CALL THAT TURBULENCE.
An animation features white curves whirling against a cube.
Shorty continues THE MORE
TURBULENCE, THE MORE DRAG.
THAT'S WHY I'M SMOOTH:
LESS DRAG.
Hamza says BUT, AGAIN, PENGUINS
DON'T FLY.
Shorty says LISTEN, I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR
ALL THIS CHITCHAT. I'M LAUNCHING
A ROCKET IN ABOUT 3 HOURS.
I NEED TO CATCH A PLANE TO
HOUSTON RIGHT NOW.
Hamza says OHHH. SO WHEN YOU SAY "FLY,"
YOU MEAN, LIKE, IN A PLANE.
Shorty says WELL, WHAT DID YOU THINK
I MEAN? I'M A PENGUIN BABY!
Shorty leaves.
Hamza says UH, I GUESS HE'S A ROCKET
SCIENTIST TOO. HUH!
A male narrator says THE ADVENTURES OF
AERODYNAMIC MAN!
Aerodynamic Man is a superhero. He flies across the sky wearing a special sleek helmet and a red suit.
Aerodynamic Man says I'M AERODYNAMIC.
A man wearing a blue hat says AH! HELP ME, AERODYNAMIC MAN,
THE WIND WON'T LET ME DRIVE!
Aerodynamic Man says AERODYNAMIC MAN!
Aerodynamic Man flies next to the driver and a white cloud pops up.
The man wearing a blue hat says THANKS, AERODYNAMIC MAN!
Now, the car looks like Aerodynamic Man’s helmet.
A slate shows a magnifying glass coming out of Cool Cat. The slate reads "Investigation."
Hamza stands in front of a large screen.
A girl says HEY.
A boy says HEY, HAMZA.
Hamza says HEY, GUYS! I'M LOOKING
FOR STUFF THAT LOOKS LIKE
IT'S MADE TO GO FAST THROUGH
THE AIR. CAN YOU HELP ME?
They say OK, SURE.
Hamza says GREAT. WHAT SHAPE DO YOU THINK
THESE WILL BE?
The boy says POINTY.
The girl says WELL, YEAH, REALLY POINTY.
Hamza says GREAT, LET'S SEE WHAT
YOU CAN FIND.
The kids run to a port.
The boy says OK, SURE!
OK, AERODYNAMIC OBJECT.
WHOA. THAT'S A LOT
OF SPEED BOATS.
The girl says YEAH, CUTS THROUGH
THE AIR! PICTURE!
A computer takes a picture of a white speedboat.
The Computer says AERODYNAMIC
SHAPE IDENTIFIED.
The girl says DO YOU THINK BICYCLES MIGHT
COUNT? THEY'RE PRETTY FAST.
The boy says YEAH.
The girl says NOT AS FAST AS SPEED BOATS.
The boy says IT'S TRUE, IT'S LIKE, BIKERS
PEDAL ON THEM AND IT'S LIKE...
The girl says LIKE IT CUTS THROUGH AIR.
YEAH, I THINK THAT WOULD COUNT.
I WONDER IF THOSE HELMETS...
The boy says YEAH, THE HELMET CUTS
THROUGH AIR.
The girl says OH, THERE'S ONE COMING.
A man riding a bicycle passes them by. The pictures taken by the computer appear on Hamza’s large screen.
Hamza says OH! IT LOOKS LIKE THE MIND'S
EYE COMPUTER HAS SOMETHING
TO SAY ABOUT BIKE HELMETS.
The computer says SOME PROFESSIONAL CYCLISTS
WEAR WHAT'S CALLED AN AERO-
HELMET. ITS LONG TAIL IS
SPECIALLY DESIGNED TO CHANNEL
THE AIRFLOW SMOOTHLY OVER
THE HEAD AND DOWN THE BACK.
IT'S VERY EFFECTIVE IF THE
CYCLIST IS LOOKING STRAIGHT
AHEAD, BUT LOOK WHAT HAPPENS
IF THE CYCLIST LOOKS DOWN.
NOT AERODYNAMIC ANYMORE.
An animation shows what the computer explains.
The girl says AND I WONDER IF THAT
SPEED-CUTS THROUGH AIR?
The boy says YEAH CAUSE IT'S...
The girl says DO YOU SEE HOW IT'S POINTY
OVER THERE? OK.
The boy stands by a car that has a cargo box on the roof. The girl takes him a picture.
The boy says LOOK AT THAT BIRD THERE.
The girl says THE SEAGULLS. THE SEAGULLS?
The boy says YEAH, THE SEAGULL WITH THE BIG
WINGS ARE CUTTING THROUGH AIR.
The girl says READY?
The girl takes a picture of the boy pointing to a seagull. The computer screen shows the seagull with blue lines running along the bird.
The Computer says HAVE YOU EVER NOTICED HOW
FLOCKS OF BIRDS FLY IN A
V SHAPE? THIS IS ALSO BECAUSE F
AERODYNAMICS. WHEN A BIRD FLAPS
ITS WINGS, THE AIR BEHIND IT
GETS PUSHED DOWNWARDS BUT THE
AIR TO THE SIDE GETS PUSHED
UPWARDS. SO IF ANOTHER BIRD IS
FLYING IN THAT ZONE IT GETS FRE
LIFT. JETS ALSO BENEFIT FROM
FLYING IN AERODYNAMIC FORMATIOS
BECAUSE IT SAVES FUEL.
Hamza says HEY, INTREPID INVESTIGATORS!
LET'S SEE YOUR PICTURES. YOU
FOUND BOATS, A CAR AND ROOF
RACK, A CYCLIST IN A STREAMLINED
HELMET. I'M GONNA SORT THEM
INTO CATEGORIES. CURVED THINGS,
SYMMETRICAL THINGS AND THINGS
THAT ARE LONGER THAN THEY ARE
WIDE. WELL, ALL THE THINGS
YOU FOUND FIT INTO ALL
THREE CATEGORIES, EVEN BIRDS!
A three circle Venn diagram appears on the large screen. The pictured mentioned move to the center of the diagram.
Hamza says LOOK AT THE SHAPE THIS PELICAN
TAKES JUST BEFORE IT DIVES -
JUST LIKE A ROCKET. LET'S DO A
HANDS-ON TO FIND OUT WHY SOME
SHAPES ARE BETTER THAN OTHERS.
The boy says OK, SURE!
The girl says ALL RIGHT!
A slate shows a toast popping out of Cool Cat. The toast reads "Hands-on" and has dog footprints on it.
Hamza says ASTRONAUT MARC GARNEAU WAS THE
FIRST CANADIAN IN OUTER SPACE!
AND CARL IS A COLLEGE STUDENT
WHO STARTED FLYING GLIDERS
WHEN HE WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL.
THEY BOTH LOVE TO FLY.
The girl and the boy stand next to Marc and Carl in a room.
The boy says SO, YOU WENT TO SPACE?
Marc is in his sixties, with white hair. He’s wearing glasses and a blue polo-shirt.
Marc says I DID, I WENT THREE TIMES. IN
FACT, I'VE GOT SOME PICTURES
HERE. THIS IS THE CREW THAT I
WENT WITH ON MY LAST MISSION AND
OF COURSE THIS IS SOMEBODY DOING
A SPACEWALK.
The boy says WOW!
Marc says AND HERE I AM DOING AN
EXPERIMENT ON A SPACE SHUTTLE.
The girl says COOL!
Marc says AND HERE I'M PUTTING ON MY
SPECIAL SPACE SUIT AND THEY'RE
CHECKING TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S
WORKING PROPERLY.
The boy says YEAH! INTERESTING.
Marc says AND THIS IS WHEN I WAS
TRAINING AT THE JOHNSON SPACE
CENTER IN TEXAS, AND THERE YOU
CAN SEE THE SHUTTLE TAKING OFF.
The all appear on Hamza’s screen.
Hamza says SO, ARE WE RIGHT THAT MOST
AERODYNAMIC THINGS ARE CURVED?
Marc says THAT'S RIGHT. LET ME SHOW YOU.
WE'RE GONNA USE TWO BALLOONS
HERE AND WE'RE GONNA PRETEND
THEY'RE ROCKETS. THE ROCKET FUEL
IS AIR AND WE'RE KEEPING THE AIR
INSIDE WITH THESE TWO CLIPS.
AND WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO TO MAKE
THEM DIFFERENT IS PUT DIFFERENT
OBJECTS IN FRONT OF THE
TWO BALLOONS.
A yellow and a green balloon are attached to a rope. Each of them is tied up to a chair.
Carl is a teenager. He’s wearing a blue pilot suit.
Carl says RIGHT. THE FLAT PIECE IS GONNA
GO HERE ON THE YELLOW ROCKET AND
THE CONE ON THE GREEN ROCKET.
KEEP IN MIND, THOUGH, THAT THEY
ARE THE EXACT SAME WEIGHT.
Marc says DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHICH ONE
WILL GO FASTER AND FURTHER?
The boy says THE GREEN ONE.
The girl says I THINK THAT ONE TOO.
Marc says OK, SO EACH ONE OF YOU
GRAB A CLIP AND FOLLOW
MY COUNT DOWN. THREE,
TWO, ONE, BLAST OFF!
WELL, WE SAW THAT THE GREEN ONE
DEFINITELY WENT FASTER AND IT
WENT FURTHER. WHY DO YOU THINK
THAT IS?
The boy says WELL, BECAUSE THE END WAS
POINTY AND CURVED SO ALL THE
WIND WOULD BOUNCE TO THE SIDES.
Marc says THAT'S RIGHT. HERE WE HAVE
STRANDS OF WOOL THAT ARE
ATTACHED TO OUR CARDBOARD SQUARE
AND ALSO TO OUR CONE AND THE
ONES ON THE CONE ARE LINED UP
NICELY WHILST THE ONES ON
THE SQUARE ARE GOING IN ALL
DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS.
THAT'S BECAUSE THE CONE IS MORE
AERODYNAMIC AND ALLOWS THE AIR
TO GO OVER IT MORE SMOOTHLY.
AND IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT, WHEN
YOU'VE SEEN ROCKETS GO UP INTO
SPACE, THEY HAVE, LIKE, A CONE
ON THE END OF IT AND THEN IT'S
VERY SMOOTH AND THE AIR CAN GO
OVER IT AND THAT'S WHY THEY
CAN GO INTO SPACE.
Hamza says DO YOU THINK YOU'D LIKE TO BE
AN ASTRONAUT SOMEDAY?
The girl says YEAH, IT WOULD BE INTERESTING.
I MEAN, TO SEE EARTH.
The boy says YEAH. JUST LIKE SIT AROUND
AND DO NOTHING.
Marc says DO NOTHING?
The boy says YEAH, ALSO WHEN YOU'RE IN
SPACE, YOU SIT AROUND...
Marc says OH, WHEN YOU'RE FLOATING, YES.
The girl says YOU WON'T DROP?
Marc says NO, YOU WON'T DROP.
Hamza says COOL, THANKS EVERYBODY!
The girl says BYE!
The boy says BYE, HAMZA.
Marc says BYE, HAMZA.
Hamza says YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE NEEDS TO
MOVE SMOOTHLY THROUGH THE AIR?
ATHLETES! THE SKIER BENDS
FORWARD TO MAKE HERSELF SMALLER
AND BY LEADING WITH HER CURVED
HEAD, SHE'S MORE AERODYNAMIC
THAN IF SHE WERE STANDING UP.
THE AIR FLOWS AROUND HER
SMOOTHLY. HEY, MAYBE THAT'S WHY
WHEN WE'RE WALKING INTO A STRONG
WIND WE LEAN FORWARD LIKE THIS.
AND MAYBE THAT'S WHY WHEN
RUNNERS START THEIR RACE THEY
START ON THE GROUND IN A
POSITION LIKE THIS. I ALWAYS
WONDERED WHY THEY NEVER STARTED
STANDING UP - BUT THIS IS MORE
AERODYNAMIC. I'M PUSHING INTO
THE AIR WITH THE ROUND PART OF
MY HEAD AS OPPOSED TO THE FLAT
PART OF MY BODY. HUH... I THINK
WE NEED TO GET A SPORTS
CHALLENGE IN TO FIGURE THIS OUT.
A slate shows two Cool Cats running a race. The slate reads "Challenge."
Hamza stands in a track.
Hamza says HELLO, I'M HERE WITH FAWN
AND GRACE AND IF YOU HAVEN'T
NOTICED, THEY'RE TWINS.
HOW ARE YOU GUYS DOING TODAY?
The twins say GOOD!
Hamza says ARE YOU PRETTY FAST
BIKE RIDERS?
The twins say YEAH.
Hamza says WHICH ONE OF YOU
IS THE FASTEST?
The girl wearing a yellow shirt says YOU NEVER KNOW.
Hamza says WELL, BICYCLES CAN GO
EXTREMELY FAST BECAUSE THEY'RE
VERY STREAMLINED AND
AERODYNAMIC. BUT NOT TODAY
BECAUSE YOU GUYS WILL BE RACING
ON THESE WONDERFUL BIKES!
The twins say WOW! COOL BIKES!
The bicycles have flags and pinwheels.
Hamza says AND YOU'RE ALSO GONNA GET
PARACHUTE SUITS.
The twins say WHOA! THANKS!
Hamza says I WANNA SEE IF SHAPES AND
ACCESSORIES AFFECT HOW FAST YOU
GO. NOW, SINCE THIS IS A RACE,
THE FIRST ONE TO CIRCLE THE
TRACK ONCE AND CROSS THE FINISH
LINE WILL WIN ROUND ONE.
ARE YOU READY?
The twins say YEAH!
Hamza says ON YOUR MARK, GET SET,
GO, GO, GO!
THE TWIN CHALLENGERS
START OFF SLOWLY, PEDDLING HARD
TO PICK UP SPEED.
The girl wearing a blue shirt says HA-HA!
(GIGGLES)
Hamza says THEY'RE STANDING UP
TO GET MORE POWER.
The girl wearing a yellow shirt says WEE!
Hamza says OOH, YELLOW TAKES THE LEAD
AS THEY REACH THE HALFWAY POIN.
The girl wearing a yellow shirt says I CAN DO IT!
Hamza says THEY'RE RIDING INTO THE WIND,
WHICH MEANS THE AIR IS PUSHING
AGAINST THEM. I WONDER HOW MUCH
THAT'S GONNA AFFECT THEM.
(PANTING)
THEY SEEM TO BE HAVING A REALLY
HARD TIME. LET'S SEE WHAT'S
REALLY GOING ON USING MY MIND'S
EYE GLASSES.
Hamza puts on special white glasses.
The computer says ACTIVATION. AS WE SAW WITH THE
BALLOON ROCKETS, FLAT THINGS AE
NOT VERY AERODYNAMIC WHEN
THEY'RE FACING INTO THE WIND.
THIS BOARD IS CREATING DRAG,
A FORCE THAT WILL SLOW DOWN THE
BIKE. SHAPES THAT ARE IRREGULAR
LIKE FLAGS, PINWHEELS AND
PARACHUTE SUITS CAN CREATE
TURBULENCE IN THE AIR. AIR
TURBULENCE ALSO SLOWS YOU DOWN.
WHAT OUR CHALLENGERS HAVE BEEN
EXPERIENCING IS THE EFFECT OF
THESE FORCES. TURBULENCE AND
DRAG MAY NOT BRING THEM TO A
COMPLETE STOP, BUT IT MAKES IT
HARD FOR THEM TO GO FAST.
Hamza says OH, IT'S COMING DOWN
TO THE END. THEY'RE
ALMOST NECK AND NECK.
AND WE HAVE A WINNER!
ALRIGHT, TERRIFIC RACE, GIRLS.
SO, AFTER FIRST ROUND, FAWN, YOU
HAD A TIME OF A MINUTE, TWO
SECONDS, WHILE GRACE, YOU HAD A
TIME OF A MINUTE, FIVE SECONDS.
ONLY THREE SECONDS APART.
DO YOU THINK YOU COULD HAVE HAD
A BETTER OVERALL TIME IF YOU HAD
MORE STREAMLINED CLOTHES
AND STREAMLINED BIKES?
The twins say YES.
Hamza says WELL, HERE'S YOUR CHANCE.
Aerodynamic Man says AERODYNAMIC MAN!
Aerodynamic Man flies near them. Now, the twins wear helmets and shorts.
The twins say WOW!
Hamza says DO THESE LOOK A LITTLE
MORE AERODYNAMIC?
The twins say YEAH.
The girl wearing a blue shirt says AND THERE'S LESS STUFF
TO CATCH THE WIND, TOO.
Hamza says WILL THEY BE FASTER WITH MORE
STREAMLINED GEAR? I'LL BE BACK
SHORTLY WITH THE EXCITING
CONCLUSION TO THE TOUR DE LOOK
KOOL CHALLENGE.
The twins say BYE, HAMZA!
A slate shows a puzzle of Cool Cat. Then, gears appear inside the black shape of a cat head. The slate reads "Brain Bender."
Back in the studio, Hamza says SPEAKING OF SHAPES, CAN YOU
FIGURE OUT HOW TO REARRANGE THE
PIECES OF THIS ARROW TO MAKE A
RECTANGLE? READY TO BEND THEIR
BRAINS ARE LEANNA AND SABRINA.
Leanna and Sabrina say HI.
Hamza says HI! ON YOUR MARK, GET SET, GO!
Leanna and Sabrina appear on the large screen.
Sabrina says OH, LEANNA MADE IT.
I SEE HER PUZZLE.
THIS GOES RIGHT DOWN HERE.
SO SHE HAS A RECTANGLE.
Leanna says CAN I HELP YOU?
Hamza says KEEP SEARCHING. MAYBE
THE SOLUTION WILL "TURN" UP?
HINT? TURN?
Sabrina says OH!
THERE YOU GO! I HAVE
A RECTANGLE.
Hamza says THE TRICK TO THIS PUZZLE
IS TO REMEMBER YOU CAN FLIP
YOUR PIECES OVER.
Sabrina says LOOK!
Leanna says COOL!
Sabrina says HIGH FIVE?
Leanna says UP TOP.
Hamza says GO, GO, GO! ALRIGHT, YEAH,
THAT'S IT, THAT'S IT! WOO!
Cool Cat runs against the race car. This time, the race car has pinwheels and a flat sheet on the back.
Cool Cat says MEOW!
Hamza says SMART, COOL CAT, YOU MADE THE
CAR LESS AERODYNAMIC - BUT THAT
IS SORT OF CHEATING. HA HA HA!
LET'S CHECK WITH OUR CHALLENGERS
TO SEE HOW WELL THEY DO WHEN
WE CHANGE THE AERODYNAMICS
OF THEIR BIKES.
WELCOME BACK TO THE TOUR DE LOOK
KOOL. WE'VE MADE YOU MORE
STREAMLINED NOW, ARE YOU READY?
The twins say YEAH!
Hamza says ALRIGHT, ON YOUR MARK, GET
SET, GO, GO, GO!
OH, WE'VE GOT A MUCH FASTER
START THIS ROUND!
The girl wearing a blue shirt says I'M GOING MORE ON THE SIDE.
Hamza says BLUE'S LEADING AROUND THE TURN
AND THEY'RE MAKING THEIR WAY
BACK. THEY DON'T SEEM TO BE
STRUGGLING AS MUCH AS LAST TIME.
LOOK AT HOW FAST THEY'RE GOING
WHEN THEY DON'T HAVE THE DRAG
AND RESISTANCE. LET'S LOOK AGAIN
WITH THE MIND'S EYE GLASSES.
The Computer says ACTIVATION.
BICYCLES ARE DESIGNED TO BE AS
AERODYNAMIC AS POSSIBLE. WHEN
RACERS WEAR SMOOTH CLOSE FITTIG
CLOTHES AND STREAMLINED HELMET,
THEY CAN RACE FASTER.
Hamza says IT LOOKS LIKE BLUE'S STILL
LEADING...AND YELLOW'S
CATCHING UP! OH, AND BLUE WINS
THIS ROUND! SO CLOSE!
The twins say WOO!
Hamza says GREAT RACE, LADIES! NOW, WE'RE
GONNA COMBINE YOUR TIMES FROM
BOTH ROUNDS TO SEE WHO HAD THE
FASTEST OVERALL TIME. GRACE, YOU
HAD A TIME OF A MINUTE, FIVE
SECONDS IN THE FIRST RACE AND 49
SECONDS IN THE SECOND RACE, FOR
A TOTAL TIME OF A MINUTE 54
SECONDS.
WHILE FAWN, YOU HAD A TIME OF A
MINUTE, TWO SECONDS IN THE FIRST
RACE AND 51 SECONDS IN THE
SECOND RACE, FOR A TOTAL
OF A MINUTE, 53 SECONDS.
JUST ONE SECOND FASTER, THE
CHAMPION IS FAWN. BUT CHECK OUT
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO
RACES. HUH, AERODYNAMICS REALLY
DO MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
Clips of the two races next to the times obtained appear on split screens.
Hamza says AND WE
HAVE SOME FABULOUS TROPHIES FOR
YOU. CONGRATULATIONS TO THE
CHAMPION OF THE TOUR DE LOOK
KOOL. AND SINCE YOU'RE TWINS,
WE HAVE: TWIN TROPHIES.
The twin wearing a blue shirt says PENGUINS? WHY PENGUINS?
Hamza says IT'S A...LONG STORY.
A swimmer jumps from a springboard.
The swimmer says AAH!
Two kids play in a pool.
The kids say HELP US, AERODYNAMIC MAN!
HE'S GOING TO DO A BELLY FLOP
AND SPLASH US.
Aerodynamic Man says AERODYNAMIC MAN!
Aerodynamic Man appears and the swimmer dives in vertically.
The three of them say THANK YOU,
AERODYNAMIC MAN!
Hamza says IT'S FUNNY, SOME OF THE THINGS
THAT LOOK THE MOST AERODYNAMIC
OF ALL ARE ACTUALLY BUILT
TO SWIM IN WATER,
LIKE DOLPHINS AND...
Shorty says WHAT ABOUT ME? I'M BACK!
Hamza says AND PENGUINS, WE MUSTN'T
FORGET PENGUINS.
Shorty says WE PENGUINS ARE SUPER
STREAMLINED BECAUSE WATER
CREATES WAY MORE DRAG THAN AIR.
IF WE'RE NOT AERODYNAMIC, OR AS
WE SAY IN WATER, HYDRODYNAMIC,
YOU CAN'T GO ANYWHERE.
Hamza says YOU'RE NOT GONNA SING ARE YOU?
Shorty says I CAN'T HELP IT I'VE GOT
HAPPY FEET!
Shorty sings HYDRODYNAMIC
I'M HYDRODYNAMIC
NOT AN EXTRA BUMP ON ME
I'M SLICK AND AS FAST AS A BEE
I'M HYDRODYNAMIC
I'M HYDRODYNAMIC
I'VE GOT CURVES
I'VE GOT THE SHAPE
I'M SMOOTH
I'M NOT SOME BUMPY APE
I'M HYDRODYNAMIC
I'M HYDRODYNAMIC
WAY BACK IN TIME, HUMANS WERE
THE SLOWEST THINGS ON FEET
Shorty dances doing funny moves as he stands on ice and swims.
Hamza says BUT NOW, WE'RE SO FAST, WE
NEED A SEAT BELT WITH OUR SEAT.
Shorty sings BUT I'M HYDRODYNAMIC
I'M HYDRODYNAMIC
HYDRODYNAMIC
I'M SO HYDRODYNAMIC
Hamza says YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, WE GET IT.
Shorty says WHAT? YOU DON'T LIKE
ROCK 'N' ROLL?
Hamza says THIS EPISODE IS NOT
ABOUT YOU, SHORTY.
Shorty says OH, IT'S NOT? ALRIGHT THEN,
I'LL JUST FLY BACK TO HOUSTON.
Hamza says AND BY FLY, YOU MEAN
A PLANE, RIGHT?
Shorty says NO, I'VE DECIDED THAT IF I'M
GONNA BE A BIRD, I'M GONNA HAVE
TO FLY LIKE A BIRD. YEAH!
(LOUD CRASH)
Hamza says AH!
Shorty says AH! AHH! ON SECOND THOUGHT,
A PLANE DOESN'T SOUND THAT BAD.
Hamza says I'LL CALL YOU A CAB.
SEE YOU NEXT TIME
FOR MORE LOOK KOOL!
MAYBE YOU SHOULD TRY, LIKE...
Hamza flaps his arms.
Shorty says LIKE...
Hamza says JUST TRY MAYBE A LITTLE...
Shorty says NO, I'M NOT GONNA DO...
OK, FINE!
Hamza says MAYBE A LITTLE BIT. JUST.
Shorty says THIS WON'T HELP!
A woman says FINALLY, A PERFECT
CHEESE SOUFFLÉ!
Aerodynamic Man says AERODYNAMIC MAN!
The woman says HEY! YOU TURNED MY SOUFFLÉ
INTO A BREAD STICK!
Aerodynamic Man says NO NEED FOR THANKS, CITIZEN.
AERODYNAMIC MAN AWAY!
The theme music plays.
The end credits roll next to shots of the show.
Shorty says I'M SHORTY! SHORTY MCGEE!
Logos: TVO Kids, Apartment 11 Productions.
Hamza says GO, COOL CAT! EVER WISH
YOU COULD GO AS FAST AS
A SUPERHERO?
Aerodynamic Man says AERODYNAMIC MAN!
Hamza says SOME THINGS MOVE THROUGH
THE AIR MORE EASILY THAN
OTHERS. WHOA! AH! TO FIND OUT
WHY, WE'LL RACE ROCKETS
WITH AN ASTRONAUT...
Marc says BLAST OFF!
Hamza says...BIKE AGAINST THE WIND,
AND MEET A PENGUIN WITH HAPPY
FEET. TODAY ON...
Sabrina says LOOK.
Leanna says COOL.
The theme music plays.
Hamza spins and puts on a pair of glasses. Through his glasses, we can see colourful 3D objects falling to an open field.
Cool Cat says MEOW!
A multicolored city builds up. The title of the show unfolds next to fireworks in the sky. It reads "Look Kook."
Imitating a plane roaring, Hamza walks into a colourful studio packed with objects and construction paper.
Hamza says OH! HI! I WAS JUST
DOING SOME GEOMETRY
EXPERIMENTS WITH THESE
PAPER AIRPLANES. THE WAY
THINGS ARE SHAPED SEEMS
TO MAKE A LOT OF DIFFERENCE
ON HOW THEY MOVE THROUGH AIR.
HUH! A FAN! SINCE WHEN DO WE
HAVE A FAN?
WHOA! WHOA!
AH!
Hamza turns on the fan. The air pushes him backwards and he finds it hard to walk.
Hamza says AH! OOH! THAT WAS HARD! SEE,
NOW, SOMETIMES IT'S REALLY
DIFFICULT TO MOVE THROUGH THE
AIR. DO SOME SHAPES MOVE THROUGH
THE AIR BETTER THAN OTHER
SHAPES? TO FIND OUT,
LET'S DO A RACE!
(ENGINES REVVING)
THREE, TWO, ONE, GO!
GO, COOL CAT!
Cool Cat competes against a red race car toy.
Hamza says OHHH!
AWWWW.
Cool Cat says MEOW!
THE CAR WINS THE RACE.
Hamza says WELL, THIS CAR WAS MADE
TO GO FAST.
Cool Cat says MEOW!
Hamza says BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME,
COOL CAT. BUT I WOULD LIKE
TO KNOW WHAT EXACTLY MAKES
THIS CAR GO FAST.
(music plays)
A slate shows cool cat breaking into pieces and coming into one again. The slate reads "Deconstruct."
Hamza says IT'S TIME FOR A...
DECONSTRUCT!
Hamza points to the car sitting on a table with the palms of his hands. A colourful hologram of the car raises and turns.
Hamza says WHOA! ARE YOU SEEING WHAT I'M
SEEING? THE CAR IS SYMMETRICAL,
IT'S LONGER THAN IT IS WIDE, AND
IT'S GOT A LOT OF SMOOTH CURVES
AND NOT A LOT OF BOXY, STRAIGHT
LINES. ALL THESE THINGS SEEM TO
HELP THE CAR GO FAST.
I WONDER WHAT YOU CALL THE SHAPE
OF SOMETHING THAT LOOKS LIKE IT
MOVES FAST AND EASILY THROUGH
THE AIR.
Shorty says THE WORD YOU'RE LOOKING FOR
IS STREAMLINED.
Hamza says THAT MUST BE MY ROCKET
SCIENTIST GUEST.
Shorty says NICE STUDIO YOU GOT
HERE, HAMZA.
Hamza says WAIT, WHO ARE YOU?
Hamza appears as Shorty McGee. He’s wearing a penguin costume and speaks with a high-pitched voice.
Shorty says I'M SHORTY! SHORTY MCGEE!
Hamza says YOU'RE A... PENGUIN.
Shorty says WOW, YOU'RE SMART.
YOU SHOULD BE ON TV!
Hamza says UH, I'M SUPPOSED TO BE
TALKING TO A ROCKET SCIENTIST.
Shorty says WELL WHAT AM I,
CHOPPED LIVER? AH!
Hamza says NO, I WAS JUST... UH, DO YOU
KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THINGS THAT
LOOK LIKE THEY MOVE FAST
THROUGH THE AIR?
Shorty says WELL, I KNOW THEY'RE CALLED
STREAMLINED AND I KNOW AN EVEN
FANCIER WORD: AERODYNAMIC!
The words "streamlined" and "aerodynamic" appear in a blue box on the screen.
Shorty continues AERODYNAMICS IS THE SCIENCE OF
HOW AIR PUSHES AGAINST THINGS.
Shorty says WE CALL SOMETHING AERODYNAMIC IF
IT'S GOOD AT MOVING THROUGH THE
AIR. LIKE ME!
Hamza says HAHAHAHA! LIKE YOU? I MEAN....
NO OFFENSE, BUT PENGUINS
DON'T FLY.
Shorty says DO YOU HAVE LIKE A BIG FAN
HERE, OR SOMETHING. I THOUGHT
I SAW ONE.
Hamza says A FAN? NO. NOPE. NO FAN.
Shorty says WELL, SURE YOU DO. LOOK AT
THIS BUTTON; IT'S GOT A GIANT
FAN RIGHT ON IT.
Hamza says NO, NO, NO, DON'T TOUCH THAT.
WHOA!
Shorty says SO IF YOU PUT YOUR HAND PARALLEL
TO THE WIND, THE AIR MOVES
AROUND IT SMOOTHLY. BUT IF YOU
HOLD OUT YOUR HAND LIKE THIS,
Shorty puts his hand in a vertical position.
Shorty continues YOU CAN FEEL THE AIR PUSHING
AGAINST IT AND WE CALL THAT
DRAG. THINGS THAT CREATE LESS
DRAG ARE AERODYNAMIC, LIKE ME.
I MOVE THROUGH THE AIR
LIKE BUTTER!
The word "drag" appears in a blue box on the screen.
Hamza turns off the fan and says AH...
UH...
BUT PENGUINS DON'T FLY.
Shorty says LISTEN, BUDDY, I FLY ALL
THE TIME. I'M ABOUT TO FLY OUT
OF HERE IN A COUPLE OF MINUTES,
AFTER I SHOW YOU THIS.
Shorty moves his wing and a clip shows a long white ribbon floating over a red car.
Shorty continues WHEN AIR FLOWS AGAINST
STREAMLINED THINGS, IT FLOWS
REALLY SMOOTHLY. WE CAN SEE THS
IN A WIND TUNNEL USED TO TEST
THE AERODYNAMICS OF CARS. WHEN
IT BLOWS AGAINST BOXY THINGS,
THE AIR GETS ALL MIXED UP. WE
CALL THAT TURBULENCE.
An animation features white curves whirling against a cube.
Shorty continues THE MORE
TURBULENCE, THE MORE DRAG.
THAT'S WHY I'M SMOOTH:
LESS DRAG.
Hamza says BUT, AGAIN, PENGUINS
DON'T FLY.
Shorty says LISTEN, I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR
ALL THIS CHITCHAT. I'M LAUNCHING
A ROCKET IN ABOUT 3 HOURS.
I NEED TO CATCH A PLANE TO
HOUSTON RIGHT NOW.
Hamza says OHHH. SO WHEN YOU SAY "FLY,"
YOU MEAN, LIKE, IN A PLANE.
Shorty says WELL, WHAT DID YOU THINK
I MEAN? I'M A PENGUIN BABY!
Shorty leaves.
Hamza says UH, I GUESS HE'S A ROCKET
SCIENTIST TOO. HUH!
A male narrator says THE ADVENTURES OF
AERODYNAMIC MAN!
Aerodynamic Man is a superhero. He flies across the sky wearing a special sleek helmet and a red suit.
Aerodynamic Man says I'M AERODYNAMIC.
A man wearing a blue hat says AH! HELP ME, AERODYNAMIC MAN,
THE WIND WON'T LET ME DRIVE!
Aerodynamic Man says AERODYNAMIC MAN!
Aerodynamic Man flies next to the driver and a white cloud pops up.
The man wearing a blue hat says THANKS, AERODYNAMIC MAN!
Now, the car looks like Aerodynamic Man’s helmet.
A slate shows a magnifying glass coming out of Cool Cat. The slate reads "Investigation."
Hamza stands in front of a large screen.
A girl says HEY.
A boy says HEY, HAMZA.
Hamza says HEY, GUYS! I'M LOOKING
FOR STUFF THAT LOOKS LIKE
IT'S MADE TO GO FAST THROUGH
THE AIR. CAN YOU HELP ME?
They say OK, SURE.
Hamza says GREAT. WHAT SHAPE DO YOU THINK
THESE WILL BE?
The boy says POINTY.
The girl says WELL, YEAH, REALLY POINTY.
Hamza says GREAT, LET'S SEE WHAT
YOU CAN FIND.
The kids run to a port.
The boy says OK, SURE!
OK, AERODYNAMIC OBJECT.
WHOA. THAT'S A LOT
OF SPEED BOATS.
The girl says YEAH, CUTS THROUGH
THE AIR! PICTURE!
A computer takes a picture of a white speedboat.
The Computer says AERODYNAMIC
SHAPE IDENTIFIED.
The girl says DO YOU THINK BICYCLES MIGHT
COUNT? THEY'RE PRETTY FAST.
The boy says YEAH.
The girl says NOT AS FAST AS SPEED BOATS.
The boy says IT'S TRUE, IT'S LIKE, BIKERS
PEDAL ON THEM AND IT'S LIKE...
The girl says LIKE IT CUTS THROUGH AIR.
YEAH, I THINK THAT WOULD COUNT.
I WONDER IF THOSE HELMETS...
The boy says YEAH, THE HELMET CUTS
THROUGH AIR.
The girl says OH, THERE'S ONE COMING.
A man riding a bicycle passes them by. The pictures taken by the computer appear on Hamza’s large screen.
Hamza says OH! IT LOOKS LIKE THE MIND'S
EYE COMPUTER HAS SOMETHING
TO SAY ABOUT BIKE HELMETS.
The computer says SOME PROFESSIONAL CYCLISTS
WEAR WHAT'S CALLED AN AERO-
HELMET. ITS LONG TAIL IS
SPECIALLY DESIGNED TO CHANNEL
THE AIRFLOW SMOOTHLY OVER
THE HEAD AND DOWN THE BACK.
IT'S VERY EFFECTIVE IF THE
CYCLIST IS LOOKING STRAIGHT
AHEAD, BUT LOOK WHAT HAPPENS
IF THE CYCLIST LOOKS DOWN.
NOT AERODYNAMIC ANYMORE.
An animation shows what the computer explains.
The girl says AND I WONDER IF THAT
SPEED-CUTS THROUGH AIR?
The boy says YEAH CAUSE IT'S...
The girl says DO YOU SEE HOW IT'S POINTY
OVER THERE? OK.
The boy stands by a car that has a cargo box on the roof. The girl takes him a picture.
The boy says LOOK AT THAT BIRD THERE.
The girl says THE SEAGULLS. THE SEAGULLS?
The boy says YEAH, THE SEAGULL WITH THE BIG
WINGS ARE CUTTING THROUGH AIR.
The girl says READY?
The girl takes a picture of the boy pointing to a seagull. The computer screen shows the seagull with blue lines running along the bird.
The Computer says HAVE YOU EVER NOTICED HOW
FLOCKS OF BIRDS FLY IN A
V SHAPE? THIS IS ALSO BECAUSE F
AERODYNAMICS. WHEN A BIRD FLAPS
ITS WINGS, THE AIR BEHIND IT
GETS PUSHED DOWNWARDS BUT THE
AIR TO THE SIDE GETS PUSHED
UPWARDS. SO IF ANOTHER BIRD IS
FLYING IN THAT ZONE IT GETS FRE
LIFT. JETS ALSO BENEFIT FROM
FLYING IN AERODYNAMIC FORMATIOS
BECAUSE IT SAVES FUEL.
Hamza says HEY, INTREPID INVESTIGATORS!
LET'S SEE YOUR PICTURES. YOU
FOUND BOATS, A CAR AND ROOF
RACK, A CYCLIST IN A STREAMLINED
HELMET. I'M GONNA SORT THEM
INTO CATEGORIES. CURVED THINGS,
SYMMETRICAL THINGS AND THINGS
THAT ARE LONGER THAN THEY ARE
WIDE. WELL, ALL THE THINGS
YOU FOUND FIT INTO ALL
THREE CATEGORIES, EVEN BIRDS!
A three circle Venn diagram appears on the large screen. The pictured mentioned move to the center of the diagram.
Hamza says LOOK AT THE SHAPE THIS PELICAN
TAKES JUST BEFORE IT DIVES -
JUST LIKE A ROCKET. LET'S DO A
HANDS-ON TO FIND OUT WHY SOME
SHAPES ARE BETTER THAN OTHERS.
The boy says OK, SURE!
The girl says ALL RIGHT!
A slate shows a toast popping out of Cool Cat. The toast reads "Hands-on" and has dog footprints on it.
Hamza says ASTRONAUT MARC GARNEAU WAS THE
FIRST CANADIAN IN OUTER SPACE!
AND CARL IS A COLLEGE STUDENT
WHO STARTED FLYING GLIDERS
WHEN HE WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL.
THEY BOTH LOVE TO FLY.
The girl and the boy stand next to Marc and Carl in a room.
The boy says SO, YOU WENT TO SPACE?
Marc is in his sixties, with white hair. He’s wearing glasses and a blue polo-shirt.
Marc says I DID, I WENT THREE TIMES. IN
FACT, I'VE GOT SOME PICTURES
HERE. THIS IS THE CREW THAT I
WENT WITH ON MY LAST MISSION AND
OF COURSE THIS IS SOMEBODY DOING
A SPACEWALK.
The boy says WOW!
Marc says AND HERE I AM DOING AN
EXPERIMENT ON A SPACE SHUTTLE.
The girl says COOL!
Marc says AND HERE I'M PUTTING ON MY
SPECIAL SPACE SUIT AND THEY'RE
CHECKING TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S
WORKING PROPERLY.
The boy says YEAH! INTERESTING.
Marc says AND THIS IS WHEN I WAS
TRAINING AT THE JOHNSON SPACE
CENTER IN TEXAS, AND THERE YOU
CAN SEE THE SHUTTLE TAKING OFF.
The all appear on Hamza’s screen.
Hamza says SO, ARE WE RIGHT THAT MOST
AERODYNAMIC THINGS ARE CURVED?
Marc says THAT'S RIGHT. LET ME SHOW YOU.
WE'RE GONNA USE TWO BALLOONS
HERE AND WE'RE GONNA PRETEND
THEY'RE ROCKETS. THE ROCKET FUEL
IS AIR AND WE'RE KEEPING THE AIR
INSIDE WITH THESE TWO CLIPS.
AND WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO TO MAKE
THEM DIFFERENT IS PUT DIFFERENT
OBJECTS IN FRONT OF THE
TWO BALLOONS.
A yellow and a green balloon are attached to a rope. Each of them is tied up to a chair.
Carl is a teenager. He’s wearing a blue pilot suit.
Carl says RIGHT. THE FLAT PIECE IS GONNA
GO HERE ON THE YELLOW ROCKET AND
THE CONE ON THE GREEN ROCKET.
KEEP IN MIND, THOUGH, THAT THEY
ARE THE EXACT SAME WEIGHT.
Marc says DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHICH ONE
WILL GO FASTER AND FURTHER?
The boy says THE GREEN ONE.
The girl says I THINK THAT ONE TOO.
Marc says OK, SO EACH ONE OF YOU
GRAB A CLIP AND FOLLOW
MY COUNT DOWN. THREE,
TWO, ONE, BLAST OFF!
WELL, WE SAW THAT THE GREEN ONE
DEFINITELY WENT FASTER AND IT
WENT FURTHER. WHY DO YOU THINK
THAT IS?
The boy says WELL, BECAUSE THE END WAS
POINTY AND CURVED SO ALL THE
WIND WOULD BOUNCE TO THE SIDES.
Marc says THAT'S RIGHT. HERE WE HAVE
STRANDS OF WOOL THAT ARE
ATTACHED TO OUR CARDBOARD SQUARE
AND ALSO TO OUR CONE AND THE
ONES ON THE CONE ARE LINED UP
NICELY WHILST THE ONES ON
THE SQUARE ARE GOING IN ALL
DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS.
THAT'S BECAUSE THE CONE IS MORE
AERODYNAMIC AND ALLOWS THE AIR
TO GO OVER IT MORE SMOOTHLY.
AND IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT, WHEN
YOU'VE SEEN ROCKETS GO UP INTO
SPACE, THEY HAVE, LIKE, A CONE
ON THE END OF IT AND THEN IT'S
VERY SMOOTH AND THE AIR CAN GO
OVER IT AND THAT'S WHY THEY
CAN GO INTO SPACE.
Hamza says DO YOU THINK YOU'D LIKE TO BE
AN ASTRONAUT SOMEDAY?
The girl says YEAH, IT WOULD BE INTERESTING.
I MEAN, TO SEE EARTH.
The boy says YEAH. JUST LIKE SIT AROUND
AND DO NOTHING.
Marc says DO NOTHING?
The boy says YEAH, ALSO WHEN YOU'RE IN
SPACE, YOU SIT AROUND...
Marc says OH, WHEN YOU'RE FLOATING, YES.
The girl says YOU WON'T DROP?
Marc says NO, YOU WON'T DROP.
Hamza says COOL, THANKS EVERYBODY!
The girl says BYE!
The boy says BYE, HAMZA.
Marc says BYE, HAMZA.
Hamza says YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE NEEDS TO
MOVE SMOOTHLY THROUGH THE AIR?
ATHLETES! THE SKIER BENDS
FORWARD TO MAKE HERSELF SMALLER
AND BY LEADING WITH HER CURVED
HEAD, SHE'S MORE AERODYNAMIC
THAN IF SHE WERE STANDING UP.
THE AIR FLOWS AROUND HER
SMOOTHLY. HEY, MAYBE THAT'S WHY
WHEN WE'RE WALKING INTO A STRONG
WIND WE LEAN FORWARD LIKE THIS.
AND MAYBE THAT'S WHY WHEN
RUNNERS START THEIR RACE THEY
START ON THE GROUND IN A
POSITION LIKE THIS. I ALWAYS
WONDERED WHY THEY NEVER STARTED
STANDING UP - BUT THIS IS MORE
AERODYNAMIC. I'M PUSHING INTO
THE AIR WITH THE ROUND PART OF
MY HEAD AS OPPOSED TO THE FLAT
PART OF MY BODY. HUH... I THINK
WE NEED TO GET A SPORTS
CHALLENGE IN TO FIGURE THIS OUT.
A slate shows two Cool Cats running a race. The slate reads "Challenge."
Hamza stands in a track.
Hamza says HELLO, I'M HERE WITH FAWN
AND GRACE AND IF YOU HAVEN'T
NOTICED, THEY'RE TWINS.
HOW ARE YOU GUYS DOING TODAY?
The twins say GOOD!
Hamza says ARE YOU PRETTY FAST
BIKE RIDERS?
The twins say YEAH.
Hamza says WHICH ONE OF YOU
IS THE FASTEST?
The girl wearing a yellow shirt says YOU NEVER KNOW.
Hamza says WELL, BICYCLES CAN GO
EXTREMELY FAST BECAUSE THEY'RE
VERY STREAMLINED AND
AERODYNAMIC. BUT NOT TODAY
BECAUSE YOU GUYS WILL BE RACING
ON THESE WONDERFUL BIKES!
The twins say WOW! COOL BIKES!
The bicycles have flags and pinwheels.
Hamza says AND YOU'RE ALSO GONNA GET
PARACHUTE SUITS.
The twins say WHOA! THANKS!
Hamza says I WANNA SEE IF SHAPES AND
ACCESSORIES AFFECT HOW FAST YOU
GO. NOW, SINCE THIS IS A RACE,
THE FIRST ONE TO CIRCLE THE
TRACK ONCE AND CROSS THE FINISH
LINE WILL WIN ROUND ONE.
ARE YOU READY?
The twins say YEAH!
Hamza says ON YOUR MARK, GET SET,
GO, GO, GO!
THE TWIN CHALLENGERS
START OFF SLOWLY, PEDDLING HARD
TO PICK UP SPEED.
The girl wearing a blue shirt says HA-HA!
(GIGGLES)
Hamza says THEY'RE STANDING UP
TO GET MORE POWER.
The girl wearing a yellow shirt says WEE!
Hamza says OOH, YELLOW TAKES THE LEAD
AS THEY REACH THE HALFWAY POIN.
The girl wearing a yellow shirt says I CAN DO IT!
Hamza says THEY'RE RIDING INTO THE WIND,
WHICH MEANS THE AIR IS PUSHING
AGAINST THEM. I WONDER HOW MUCH
THAT'S GONNA AFFECT THEM.
(PANTING)
THEY SEEM TO BE HAVING A REALLY
HARD TIME. LET'S SEE WHAT'S
REALLY GOING ON USING MY MIND'S
EYE GLASSES.
Hamza puts on special white glasses.
The computer says ACTIVATION. AS WE SAW WITH THE
BALLOON ROCKETS, FLAT THINGS AE
NOT VERY AERODYNAMIC WHEN
THEY'RE FACING INTO THE WIND.
THIS BOARD IS CREATING DRAG,
A FORCE THAT WILL SLOW DOWN THE
BIKE. SHAPES THAT ARE IRREGULAR
LIKE FLAGS, PINWHEELS AND
PARACHUTE SUITS CAN CREATE
TURBULENCE IN THE AIR. AIR
TURBULENCE ALSO SLOWS YOU DOWN.
WHAT OUR CHALLENGERS HAVE BEEN
EXPERIENCING IS THE EFFECT OF
THESE FORCES. TURBULENCE AND
DRAG MAY NOT BRING THEM TO A
COMPLETE STOP, BUT IT MAKES IT
HARD FOR THEM TO GO FAST.
Hamza says OH, IT'S COMING DOWN
TO THE END. THEY'RE
ALMOST NECK AND NECK.
AND WE HAVE A WINNER!
ALRIGHT, TERRIFIC RACE, GIRLS.
SO, AFTER FIRST ROUND, FAWN, YOU
HAD A TIME OF A MINUTE, TWO
SECONDS, WHILE GRACE, YOU HAD A
TIME OF A MINUTE, FIVE SECONDS.
ONLY THREE SECONDS APART.
DO YOU THINK YOU COULD HAVE HAD
A BETTER OVERALL TIME IF YOU HAD
MORE STREAMLINED CLOTHES
AND STREAMLINED BIKES?
The twins say YES.
Hamza says WELL, HERE'S YOUR CHANCE.
Aerodynamic Man says AERODYNAMIC MAN!
Aerodynamic Man flies near them. Now, the twins wear helmets and shorts.
The twins say WOW!
Hamza says DO THESE LOOK A LITTLE
MORE AERODYNAMIC?
The twins say YEAH.
The girl wearing a blue shirt says AND THERE'S LESS STUFF
TO CATCH THE WIND, TOO.
Hamza says WILL THEY BE FASTER WITH MORE
STREAMLINED GEAR? I'LL BE BACK
SHORTLY WITH THE EXCITING
CONCLUSION TO THE TOUR DE LOOK
KOOL CHALLENGE.
The twins say BYE, HAMZA!
A slate shows a puzzle of Cool Cat. Then, gears appear inside the black shape of a cat head. The slate reads "Brain Bender."
Back in the studio, Hamza says SPEAKING OF SHAPES, CAN YOU
FIGURE OUT HOW TO REARRANGE THE
PIECES OF THIS ARROW TO MAKE A
RECTANGLE? READY TO BEND THEIR
BRAINS ARE LEANNA AND SABRINA.
Leanna and Sabrina say HI.
Hamza says HI! ON YOUR MARK, GET SET, GO!
Leanna and Sabrina appear on the large screen.
Sabrina says OH, LEANNA MADE IT.
I SEE HER PUZZLE.
THIS GOES RIGHT DOWN HERE.
SO SHE HAS A RECTANGLE.
Leanna says CAN I HELP YOU?
Hamza says KEEP SEARCHING. MAYBE
THE SOLUTION WILL "TURN" UP?
HINT? TURN?
Sabrina says OH!
THERE YOU GO! I HAVE
A RECTANGLE.
Hamza says THE TRICK TO THIS PUZZLE
IS TO REMEMBER YOU CAN FLIP
YOUR PIECES OVER.
Sabrina says LOOK!
Leanna says COOL!
Sabrina says HIGH FIVE?
Leanna says UP TOP.
Hamza says GO, GO, GO! ALRIGHT, YEAH,
THAT'S IT, THAT'S IT! WOO!
Cool Cat runs against the race car. This time, the race car has pinwheels and a flat sheet on the back.
Cool Cat says MEOW!
Hamza says SMART, COOL CAT, YOU MADE THE
CAR LESS AERODYNAMIC - BUT THAT
IS SORT OF CHEATING. HA HA HA!
LET'S CHECK WITH OUR CHALLENGERS
TO SEE HOW WELL THEY DO WHEN
WE CHANGE THE AERODYNAMICS
OF THEIR BIKES.
WELCOME BACK TO THE TOUR DE LOOK
KOOL. WE'VE MADE YOU MORE
STREAMLINED NOW, ARE YOU READY?
The twins say YEAH!
Hamza says ALRIGHT, ON YOUR MARK, GET
SET, GO, GO, GO!
OH, WE'VE GOT A MUCH FASTER
START THIS ROUND!
The girl wearing a blue shirt says I'M GOING MORE ON THE SIDE.
Hamza says BLUE'S LEADING AROUND THE TURN
AND THEY'RE MAKING THEIR WAY
BACK. THEY DON'T SEEM TO BE
STRUGGLING AS MUCH AS LAST TIME.
LOOK AT HOW FAST THEY'RE GOING
WHEN THEY DON'T HAVE THE DRAG
AND RESISTANCE. LET'S LOOK AGAIN
WITH THE MIND'S EYE GLASSES.
The Computer says ACTIVATION.
BICYCLES ARE DESIGNED TO BE AS
AERODYNAMIC AS POSSIBLE. WHEN
RACERS WEAR SMOOTH CLOSE FITTIG
CLOTHES AND STREAMLINED HELMET,
THEY CAN RACE FASTER.
Hamza says IT LOOKS LIKE BLUE'S STILL
LEADING...AND YELLOW'S
CATCHING UP! OH, AND BLUE WINS
THIS ROUND! SO CLOSE!
The twins say WOO!
Hamza says GREAT RACE, LADIES! NOW, WE'RE
GONNA COMBINE YOUR TIMES FROM
BOTH ROUNDS TO SEE WHO HAD THE
FASTEST OVERALL TIME. GRACE, YOU
HAD A TIME OF A MINUTE, FIVE
SECONDS IN THE FIRST RACE AND 49
SECONDS IN THE SECOND RACE, FOR
A TOTAL TIME OF A MINUTE 54
SECONDS.
WHILE FAWN, YOU HAD A TIME OF A
MINUTE, TWO SECONDS IN THE FIRST
RACE AND 51 SECONDS IN THE
SECOND RACE, FOR A TOTAL
OF A MINUTE, 53 SECONDS.
JUST ONE SECOND FASTER, THE
CHAMPION IS FAWN. BUT CHECK OUT
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO
RACES. HUH, AERODYNAMICS REALLY
DO MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
Clips of the two races next to the times obtained appear on split screens.
Hamza says AND WE
HAVE SOME FABULOUS TROPHIES FOR
YOU. CONGRATULATIONS TO THE
CHAMPION OF THE TOUR DE LOOK
KOOL. AND SINCE YOU'RE TWINS,
WE HAVE: TWIN TROPHIES.
The twin wearing a blue shirt says PENGUINS? WHY PENGUINS?
Hamza says IT'S A...LONG STORY.
A swimmer jumps from a springboard.
The swimmer says AAH!
Two kids play in a pool.
The kids say HELP US, AERODYNAMIC MAN!
HE'S GOING TO DO A BELLY FLOP
AND SPLASH US.
Aerodynamic Man says AERODYNAMIC MAN!
Aerodynamic Man appears and the swimmer dives in vertically.
The three of them say THANK YOU,
AERODYNAMIC MAN!
Hamza says IT'S FUNNY, SOME OF THE THINGS
THAT LOOK THE MOST AERODYNAMIC
OF ALL ARE ACTUALLY BUILT
TO SWIM IN WATER,
LIKE DOLPHINS AND...
Shorty says WHAT ABOUT ME? I'M BACK!
Hamza says AND PENGUINS, WE MUSTN'T
FORGET PENGUINS.
Shorty says WE PENGUINS ARE SUPER
STREAMLINED BECAUSE WATER
CREATES WAY MORE DRAG THAN AIR.
IF WE'RE NOT AERODYNAMIC, OR AS
WE SAY IN WATER, HYDRODYNAMIC,
YOU CAN'T GO ANYWHERE.
Hamza says YOU'RE NOT GONNA SING ARE YOU?
Shorty says I CAN'T HELP IT I'VE GOT
HAPPY FEET!
Shorty sings HYDRODYNAMIC
I'M HYDRODYNAMIC
NOT AN EXTRA BUMP ON ME
I'M SLICK AND AS FAST AS A BEE
I'M HYDRODYNAMIC
I'M HYDRODYNAMIC
I'VE GOT CURVES
I'VE GOT THE SHAPE
I'M SMOOTH
I'M NOT SOME BUMPY APE
I'M HYDRODYNAMIC
I'M HYDRODYNAMIC
WAY BACK IN TIME, HUMANS WERE
THE SLOWEST THINGS ON FEET
Shorty dances doing funny moves as he stands on ice and swims.
Hamza says BUT NOW, WE'RE SO FAST, WE
NEED A SEAT BELT WITH OUR SEAT.
Shorty sings BUT I'M HYDRODYNAMIC
I'M HYDRODYNAMIC
HYDRODYNAMIC
I'M SO HYDRODYNAMIC
Hamza says YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, WE GET IT.
Shorty says WHAT? YOU DON'T LIKE
ROCK 'N' ROLL?
Hamza says THIS EPISODE IS NOT
ABOUT YOU, SHORTY.
Shorty says OH, IT'S NOT? ALRIGHT THEN,
I'LL JUST FLY BACK TO HOUSTON.
Hamza says AND BY FLY, YOU MEAN
A PLANE, RIGHT?
Shorty says NO, I'VE DECIDED THAT IF I'M
GONNA BE A BIRD, I'M GONNA HAVE
TO FLY LIKE A BIRD. YEAH!
(LOUD CRASH)
Hamza says AH!
Shorty says AH! AHH! ON SECOND THOUGHT,
A PLANE DOESN'T SOUND THAT BAD.
Hamza says I'LL CALL YOU A CAB.
SEE YOU NEXT TIME
FOR MORE LOOK KOOL!
MAYBE YOU SHOULD TRY, LIKE...
Hamza flaps his arms.
Shorty says LIKE...
Hamza says JUST TRY MAYBE A LITTLE...
Shorty says NO, I'M NOT GONNA DO...
OK, FINE!
Hamza says MAYBE A LITTLE BIT. JUST.
Shorty says THIS WON'T HELP!
A woman says FINALLY, A PERFECT
CHEESE SOUFFLÉ!
Aerodynamic Man says AERODYNAMIC MAN!
The woman says HEY! YOU TURNED MY SOUFFLÉ
INTO A BREAD STICK!
Aerodynamic Man says NO NEED FOR THANKS, CITIZEN.
AERODYNAMIC MAN AWAY!
The theme music plays.
The end credits roll next to shots of the show.
Shorty says I'M SHORTY! SHORTY MCGEE!
