Transcript: Wild Water
An animated question mark mono cycles outside Zoey’s house holding a flag with the logo of the show: a magnifying glass with a question mark inside.
In the attic, Zoey focuses the camera towards her and starts dancing around as animated stickers appear on the screen.
Zoey is around 12, with long wavy brown hair in a half ponytail. She wears a printed red dress, a denim vest, a beaded necklace and a watch.
(music plays)
Music grabs a ukulele and starts playing and sings a song as other Zoeys appear behind her doing different things.
The song goes MY NAME IS ZOEY
AND THIS IS MY SHOW
I'M FINDING STUFF OUT
THAT YOU WANT TO KNOW
JUST ASK ME A QUESTION
THAT I DON'T KNOW
THAT'S WHY "FINDING STUFF OUT."
IS THE NAME OF MY SHOW
Several kids pop up in frames of different shapes and colours.
The title Finding Stuff Out, where the letter O is replaced by a magnifying glass, appears several times on the screen.
The song continues SO JUST GIVE ME A SHOUT
AND WE'LL FIGURE IT OUT
WITH THE HELP
OF SOME FRIENDS
On her laptop screen roll different clips that show Zoey and her friends doing different activities as animated characters roll over the screen.
The song continues AND THE FUN NEVER ENDS
ON "FINDING STUFF OUT"
FINDING STUFF OUT
FINDING STUFF OUT
THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT
YEAH
Zoey waters her plants and says CHECK OUT THESE NEW SHOOTS.
GREAT JOB FREDDIE.
OH JERRY, YOU'RE LOOKING A
LITTLE THIRSTY BUT DON'T WORRY.
ZOEY TO THE RESCUE.
She floods Jerry and says OH.
UH-OH.
TOO MUCH WATER.
THAT REMINDS ME OF A QUESTION I
GOT FROM NORAH.
A blond girl says HOW COME SOMETIMES THERE'S TOO
MUCH WATER BUT SOMETIMES THERE'S
NOT ENOUGH WATER?
Zoey says YOU'RE RIGHT.
SOME PLACES GET FLOODED AND
OTHER PLACES TURN BONE DRY.
I KNOW WHY THERE WASN'T ENOUGH
WATER IN HERE.
EITHER JERRY DRINKS A LOT OF
WATER OR I FORGOT TO WATER HIM.
YEAH, I FORGOT TO WATER HIM.
AND THEN I WASN'T PAYING
ATTENTION AND I GAVE JERRY WAY
TOO MUCH.
SO TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION I'VE
COME HERE TO SCIENCE WORLD TO
MEET BRIAN WHO KNOWS A LOT ABOUT
WATER.
Brian is in his forties, bald and wears jeans and a blue T-shirt.
Zoey says HI BRIAN.
Brian says HI ZOEY.
Zoey says I'VE BEEN WONDERING ABOUT WATER
LIKE HOW THERE'S TOO MUCH AND
SOMETIMES THERE'S NOT ENOUGH.
Brian says WELL ZOEY, THE PLANET IS
OVER 70 percent WATER.
IN FACT THERE'S MORE WATER ON
EARTH THAN THERE IS LAND.
SO WE'RE GONNA LEARN NOW ABOUT
HOW WATER CAN MOVE FROM ONE
PLACE TO THE OTHER.
Zoey says COOL.
Brian says ONE OF THE WAY
IT DOES THIS IS
THROUGH EVAPORATION.
BIG LAKES AND OCEANS THE WATER
WILL HEAT UP AND TRAVEL UP INTO
THE SKY.
Zoey says OH, FORMING CLOUDS.
Brian says YEAH.
Brian gives Zoey some goggles and says SAFETY FIRST.
Zoey says THANK YOU.
Brian says WE'RE GONNA TRY THE SAME
THING USING A BIT OF RUBBING
ALCOHOL.
He pours some subbing alcohol inside a plastic bottle.
Brian says THIS EVAPORATES VERY EASILY.
READY?
ONE (CONTINUES COUNTING IN
BACKGROUND)
Zoey pumps air inside the bottle and says PUMPING AIR INCREASES THE
PRESSURE AND HEATS UP THE GAS.
WE'RE GONNA RELEASE ALL
THAT PRESSURE WHEN WE PULL OUT
THE NOZZLE.
THAT MAKES THE GAS COOL DOWN
FAST AND TRANSFORMS IT INTO TINY
DROPLETS OF LIQUID WHICH FORM A
CLOUD.
GOT IT.
Brian says WE LET THE
PRESSURE GO.
THE TEMPERATURE
GOES DOWN AND WE
HAVE A CLOUD IN
A BOTTLE.
Zoey says COOL.
LOOK AT THAT.
Brian says THAT IS AWESOME.
Zoey says SAME THING HAPPENS WITH
REAL CLOUDS IN THE AIR.
WHEN WATER WARMS UP IT
EVAPORATES INTO A GAS.
WHEN THAT VAPOUR RISES AND
REACHES THE SKY IT COOLS DOWN
AND TURNS INTO CLOUDS WHICH ARE
TINY DROPLETS OF WATER THAT
ALWAYS FIND THEIR WAY BACK DOWN
TO EARTH.
SPEAKING OF THAT.
MADDY HAS THIS QUESTION.
Maddy says HOW DOES A FLOOD HAPPEN?
Brian says WELL A FLOOD HAPPENS
WHEN YOU HAVE TOO
MUCH WATER.
THAT COULD BE TOO MUCH WATER
THAT'S BUILT UP BEHIND A DAM OR
A DYKE THAT'S BROKEN THROUGH OR
IT CAN BE TOO MUCH WATER COMING
DOWN FROM THE SKY IN A BIG
STORM.
Brian gives Zoey a house model and says SO ZOEY, I BROUGHT YOU A HOUSE
AND A BEAUTIFUL LAKE HERE.
WHERE WOULD YOU LIKE TO PLACE
YOUR HOUSE?
Zoey says HMM.
LET'S PLACE IT BY THE LAKE
BECAUSE I LIKE THE LAKE.
Brian says IT'S TRUE.
A LOT OF PEOPLE LIKE TO BE CLOSE
TO THE WATER.
OF COURSE WATER ALSO LIKES TO
FLOW DOWN.
I'M GONNA TURN THE WATER ON.
Zoey says ALRIGHT.
Brian says ALRIGHT.
THE WATER'S STARTING TO FLOW.
WE GOT A GENTLE RAIN STORM UP IN
THE MOUNTAINS STARTING TO COME
DOWN.
MAYBE A BIT OF SNOW MELTING UP
THERE.
Zoey says OH, OH, OH NO, OH NO.
MY HOUSE.
MY NEW CARPET.
MY NEW BOOK COLLECTION.
Brian says THAT IS ONE SOGGY HOUSE
THERE ZOEY.
Zoey says I GUESS WE'LL HAVE TO FIND
A BETTER PLACE FOR MY HOME.
Brian says SOUNDS LIKE
A PLAN.
ONE THING PEOPLE CAN DO TO
PROTECT HOUSES FROM WATER IS
BUILD DYKES AND WATER GATES TO
REDIRECT THE WATER AWAY FROM
WHERE YOU WANT IT TO GO.
Zoey says LET'S TRY IT AND
SEE IF MY HOUSE
WILL GO RIGHT HERE.
She puts the house by the dam.
Brian says SO THIS TIME
IT'S NOT MOVING AT
ALL.
OF COURSE, IN BIG
HEAVY RAINS,
SOMETIMES THE
DYKES WILL
OVERFLOW OR
EVEN BREAK.
He opens the dam gates.
Zoey says OH NO, MY HOUSE.
The water moves the house.
Brian says I HOPE YOU HAVE INSURANCE.
Zoey says WELL EVEN WITH THE DYKES
HERE I DON'T FEEL LIKE MY HOUSE
IS COMPLETELY SAFE.
OH THIS IS A GREAT
PLACE FOR MY
HOUSE.
She puts the house on a hill.
Brian says LOOKS GOOD ZOEY.
NICE HIGH GROUND,
SAFE FROM A
FLOOD.
Zoey says SO THE HIGHER
YOU ARE THE SAFER
YOU ARE FROM A FLOOD.
Brian says THERE'S LESS
WATER TO FLOW
THROUGH THAT'S
FOR SURE.
Zoey says I HAVE A QUESTION
ABOUT FLOODS.
Brian says AH.
A boy named Usman says HOW HIGH COULD A FLOOD GET?
Brian says FLOODS HAVE BEEN RECORDED
AS HIGH AS 6 METRES.
Zoey climbs up a flight of stairs and says AM I THERE YET?
Brian says HIGHER.
Zoey says AM I THERE YET?
Brian says THAT'S IT, 6 METRES.
An animation floods the screen.
Zoey climbs down and says OH NO.
OH, I MADE IT.
NICE JOB.
I HAVE A QUESTION.
Alice says HOW DO YOU GET RID OF A FLOOD?
Brian says THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION.
AS THE CLIMATE'S
CHANGING A LOT
OF PEOPLE ARE
THINKING MORE
ABOUT HOW THEY
CAN PREPARE
THEMSELVES
FOR A FLOOD.
IN FACT, HERE AT SCIENCE WORLD
WE'RE LOOKING AT THE WATER
LEVELS AROUND US AND REALIZING
THEY COULD GO UP AS MUCH AS 1 TO
2 METERS.
Zoey says WELL THEN WHAT
DO YOU DO IN A
FLOOD?
Brain says THE MAIN THING
IS TO STOP THE
WATER FROM COMING
IN AND DRY OUT
THE AREAS THAT
HAVE BEEN
AFFECTED.
THIS COULD BE USING BIG BLOWERS,
HEATERS.
ONE OF THE MAIN THINGS IS GET
ALL OF THE MOISTURE OUT OF
CARPETS, FURNITURE, WALLS,
BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT ANY MOLD
STARTING TO GROW INSIDE.
EVERYTHING HAS TO BE COMPLETELY
DRY.
Zoey says WELL THANKS
FOR THE TIPS.
I THINK IT'S TIME
WE TESTED THEM
OUT.
They double high-five.
Brian says YEAH.
(music plays)
In animation, Zoey flexes his arm, and then picks up the whole Earth and spins it.
A caption reads "My great challenge."
Zoey says TODAY'S CHALLENGERS ARE OPHELIA
AND NICK ON TEAM TURBULENCE.
Ophelia is around 12, with long wavy brown hair and wears jeans and a decorated black sweater.
Nick is around 12, with short straight brown hair and wears jeans, a white T-shirt and a black cardigan sweater.
They say TEAM TURBULENCE.
Zoey says AND CECILIA AND LOUIS ON
TEAM WILD WATER.
Cecilia is around 11, with long wavy light brown hair in pigtails and wears white trousers and a black and white plaid dress.
Louis is around 11, with short straight brown hair and wears glasses, jeans, a white T-shirt and an unbuttoned polka dotted blue shirt.
They say TEAM WILD WATER.
They stand on each side of a table with wholes and two cardboard houses below.
Zoey says WHEN I SAY GO I'M GOING TO
RELEASE THE MARBLE FLOOD WATER
AND YOUR JOB IS TO SWOOP IN AND
SAVE THE DAY BY DIRECTING THE
FLOOD AWAY FROM YOUR HOUSES
BELOW.
THE TEAM WITH THE FEWEST MARBLES
AROUND THEIR HOUSES BY THE END
OF THE CHALLENGE WINS.
ARE YOU GUYS READY?
They all say YEAH.
Zoey says OKAY.
AND GO.
Zoey releases the marbles down the table.
The team members use props to divert the marbles and say NO NO NO NO NO.
COME ON.
GO IN HERE.
COME ON.
Zoey says CHALLENGERS HAVE 2 WAYS TO
STOP THE FLOOD.
USING THEIR SANDBAGS THEY CAN
DIVERT THE RUSH OF THE WATER
MARBLES ONTO THE OTHER TEAMS
SIDE OR INTO THE DRAIN HOLES ON
THE EDGES OF THE RIVER.
The team members say NO NO NO.
COME ON.
GO IN HERE.
GO IN HERE.
Zoey says TRYING TO TO PUSH THE
MARBLES UPSTREAM IS USELESS.
THEY'RE ONLY GONNA GO BACK DOWN.
WATER IS REALLY HARD TO STOP.
The team member says COME ON.
NO NO NO NO.
Zoey says THAT'S IT.
NO MORE WATER.
JUDGING BY THE NUMBER OF MARBLES
AROUND THE HOUSES...
IT'S CLEAR THAT TEAM TURBULENCE
WON.
Team Turbulence say YAY, TEAM TURBULENCE.
Zoey says GOOD JOB GUYS.
YOU FOUGHT
THE FLOOD LIKE
SUPERHEROES.
In animation, Zoey dances over a flooded area and sings a song that says IT FLOWS ACROSS THE PLAINS.
IT FILLS UP ALL THE DRAINS.
WHEN THERE'S TOO MUCH WATER.
IT CAN REALLY BE A PAIN.
WHEN COLD IT TURNS TO ICE AND
WE SLIDE AROUND LIKE DICE.
THERE'S SNOW THAT'S FUN TO
PLAY IN BUT ICE STORMS ARE
LESS THAN NICE.
OH YEAH.
Zoey says NEXT QUESTION.
Lia says WHY ARE THERE ICE STORMS?
Zoey says WELL LIA, I CHECKED AND
THIS IS WHAT I FOUND OUT.
AN ICE STORM IS A STORM OF
FREEZING RAIN THAT COVERS
EVERYTHING IN A CRUNCHY SLIPPERY
COATING OF ICE.
IT HAPPENS WHEN FROZEN RAIN
FALLS THROUGH WARM AIR WHICH
MELTS IT.
BEFORE HITTING THE COLD GROUND
WHICH FREEZES IT.
THIS FORMS A LAYER OF ICE ON
TREES, CARS, THE SIDEWALK.
EVERYTHING.
THAT'S WHY IT'S ALWAYS IMPORTANT
TO CHECK YOUR WEATHER FORECAST
SO YOU CAN BE PREPARED FOR
ANYTHING.
BUT WHAT IF YOU CAN'T LOOK UP
THE FORECAST?
THAT REMINDS ME.
Liat says HOW DO ANIMALS SURVIVE IN A WILD
WEATHER?
Zoey says OH NO.
A DOG CAN'T LOOK UP THE WEATHER.
A CAT CAN'T CHECK THE FORECAST.
A MOOSE DOESN'T HAVE A WEATHER
APP.
AN ELEPHANT CAN'T LOOK UP THE
TEMPERATURE.
WHO WARNS THE PORCUPINES AND THE
MONKEYS?
In animation, Zoe’s head explodes.
A caption reads "You’re gonna make my head explode."
Zoey says SOME PEOPLE THINK ANIMALS HAVE A
SIXTH SENSE BECAUSE OF ALL THE
CRAZY, COOL WAYS THEY PREDICT
AND SURVIVE WILD WEATHER.
BUT THEY'RE JUST WAY MORE
OBSERVANT THAN US.
In animation, a distracted man walks as he listens to music. He pumps into a tree.
An elephant and a dog watch him as he falls.
Zoey says ANIMALS TUNE INTO THE WORLD
WHILE WE HUMANS HAVE TROUBLE
PAYING ATTENTION.
BEES SENSE CHANGES IN THE AIR
PRESSURE THAT OFTEN LEAD TO RAIN
SO THEY KNOW EXACTLY WHEN TO
HEAD INSIDE.
SHARKS NOTICE BIG TEMPERATURE
CHANGES IN THE OCEAN, MEANING, A
STORM'S COMING AND SWIM TO
SAFETY.
MOST LAND ANIMALS GO SOMEWHERE
HIGH AND SAFE IN A WATER
DISASTER LIKE THIS CLEVER DOG
WHO SURVIVED A FLOOD BY SWIMMING
UP TO THE ROOF.
BEFORE A TSUNAMI ELEPHANTS SENSE
MOVEMENTS IN THE EARTH AND RUN
TO HIGHER GROUND TRUMPETING AND
WARNING EACH OTHER.
I WISH I HAD A BUILT IN TRUMPET
TO WARN PEOPLE OF TSUNAMIS.
(ELEPHANT NOISES)
Zoey says VERONICA HAS A QUESTION ABOUT
TSUNAMIS.
Veronica says HOW DO TSUNAMIS START?
In animation, two pirates sail to the end of the Earth and fall down.
Pirates say ARGH! ARGH! ARGH!
(GASP) WOAH!
A caption reads "The flat Earth corner."
Dressed as a catfish, Zoey says KONICHIWA PEOPLE.
DID YOU KNOW THE WORD TSUNAMI IS
JAPANESE?
IT'S FROM TSU MEANING HARBOR AND
NAMI MEANING WAVE.
HERE IN 7TH CENTURY OF JAPAN WE
BELIEVE NAMAZU; A GIANT CATFISH,
ME, LASHED A TAIL MAKING A GIANT
WAVE.
She rides a wave and says AW, COME ON.
Zoey says WE KNOW NOW, RATHER THAN A GIANT
FISH, TSUNAMIS ARE CAUSED BY
NATURAL EVENTS LIKE THE
LANDSLIDES, VOLCANOS, GLACIERS
BREAKING AND EARTHQUAKES.
The attic shakes and Zoey says WHOA.
WHOA.
WHOA.
I FOUND OUT THAT WHEN THE EARTH
MOVES WATER MOVES TO FILL THE
GAPS.
IN A POWERFUL EARTHQUAKE THE
EARTH UNDER THE OCEAN CAN BE
LIFTED OR DROPPED WHICH CAUSES
GAPS.
THE WATER ABOVE IT RISES AND
MAKES GIANT WAVES ACROSS THE
OCEAN.
AS THE WATER MOVES CLOSER TO
SHORE WAVES GET BIGGER.
A TSUNAMI CAN MOVE AS FAST AS
1000 KILOMETRES AN HOUR.
THAT'S FASTER THAN A JET PLANE.
In animation, Zoey rubs a balloon on her head with the caption "The Experiment."
Zoey says MY FRIENDS MADE A TSUNAMI
SIMULATION.
HI GUYS.
A girl says HEY ZOEY.
A boy says HEY ZOEY.
Zoey says SO HOW DO YOU MAKE YOUR TSUNAMI?
The girl fills a plastic container with newspaper balls and says FIRST WE USE
NEWSPAPER, DIRT
AND SAND TO BUILD
OUR BEACH.
The boy says THEN WE ADD HOUSES AND TREES
TO MAKE IT MORE REALISTIC.
They cover the newspaper with dirt.
The girl says TIME FOR
THE SAND.
The boy says DO YOU LIKE BEACHES?
The girl says OF COURSE.
Zoey says THE HIGHEST TSUNAMI WAVE
EVER RECORDED WAS IN ALASKA.
The boy says NOW FOR THE
WATER.
Zoey says I CAN'T WAIT.
The kids pour water in the container.
Zoey says IT WAS 524 METRES.
ABOUT AS HIGH AS THE CN TOWER.
The girl says NOW IT'S TIME FOR THE BIG WAVE.
They say 3, 2, 1.
They push the water toward the beach with the help of a chopping board.
Zoey says MILLIONS OF TREES WERE
UPROOTED AND SWEPT AWAY.
THE POWERFUL WAVE WASHES UP ON
SHORE AND AS IT FLOWS BACK OUT
IT PULLS JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING
ALONG WITH IT.
YIKES.
THANKS GUYS!
The girl says BYE ZOEY.
The boy says BYE ZOEY.
Zoey says WHAT A CRAZY PLACE THE OCEAN IS
AND I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO
THINKS SO.
Emily says ARE THERE VOLCANOES UNDER WATER?
Zoey says WELL EMILY, I FOUND OUT
THAT DEEP BENEATH THE WAVES
THERE ARE ABOUT A MILLION
VOLCANOES.
THAT'S MORE VOLCANOES UNDERWATER
THAN ABOVE.
HERE'S HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN.
FIRST WE START WITH COLD WATER
REPRESENTING THE OCEAN.
THEN A BOWL OF HOT WATER
REPRESENTING THE LAVA FILLED
VOLCANO.
SO WE HAVE THIS LITTLE CUP AND
WE'RE GONNA FILL IT WITH WARM
WATER.
The cup is tuck to a long ruler.
Zoey says NEXT WE PUT SOME RED FOOD
COLOURING TO MAKE IT MORE
LAVA-Y.
STIR IT UP.
THEN WE PUT THE TIN FOIL ON AND
YOU WANT TO MAKE IT AS TIGHT AS
YOU CAN.
NEXT WE POKE A HOLE REPRESENTING
THE OPENING OF THE VOLCANO.
WHOA.
UNLIKE ON LAND, WHEN A VOLCANO
ERUPTS UNDERWATER LAVA DOESN'T
SHOOT OUT BECAUSE THERE'S SO
MUCH OCEAN WEIGHING IT DOWN.
SO YOU CAN BE IN A BOAT OVER AN
ERUPTING VOLCANO AND NEVER EVEN
KNOW IT WAS THERE.
DON'T WORRY LITTLE VOLCANO WE
KNOW YOU'RE THERE.
THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS
HAPPENING IN, UNDER AND EVEN
OVER THE OCEAN.
THAT REMINDS ME OF A QUESTION I
GOT FROM SOPHIA.
Sophia says HOW DO HURRICANES FORM?
Zoey says HURRICANES ARE PRETTY PICKY.
TO FORM, THE CONDITIONS HAVE TO
BE JUST RIGHT.
FIRST, THEY LIKE WARM OCEAN
WATER.
NEXT WE NEED A LOT OF WIND.
CLOUDS PULL WATER FROM THE OCEAN
UP WHICH MAKES A TUBE OF SUPER
SPEEDY AIR.
THIS MAKES A HURRICANE.
HURRICANES ARE WATER MOVING
MACHINES.
THEY SUCK UP WATER FROM ONE PART
OF THE PLANET...
AND SPIT IT SOMEWHERE ELSE.
SOMETIMES MAKING FLOODS.
TODAY, WEATHER SCIENTISTS MAKE
AN ALPHABETICAL LIST FOR THE
YEAR'S COMING HURRICANES.
ZENA, YORK, ZELDA BUT NO ZOEY.
PHEWF.
NEXT QUESTION.
Amelia says HOW DO YOU RESPOND TO
HURRICANES?
Zoey plays the ukulele and sings a song that says TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT
HURRICANES CALLED SAMMY OR
ROSIE OR EVEN ELAINE I CALLED
MY SPECIAL GUEST AND
DR. KIRSTEN'S HER NAME.
Kirsten says HI ZOEY.
Kirsten walks in the attic.
She’s in her thirties, with long blond hair with bangs and wears gray trousers and a black T-shirt. She carries a backpack and a sleeping bag.
Zoey says HI DR. KIRSTEN.
UM, I ASKED YOU TO COME OVER TO
BE ON MY SHOW NOT MOVE IN.
Kirsten says WELL, I CAME PREPARED A FOR
HURRICANE.
Zoey says THERE'S GONNA BE A HURRICANE?
Kirsten says NO.
THE FORECAST IS CLEAR BUT IT'S
GOOD TO BE PREPARED.
Zoey says SO AMELIA WANTS
TO KNOW HOW TO
RESPOND TO HURRICANES.
Kirsten says THAT'S KIND OF YOUR JOB RIGHT?
THAT IS MY JOB.
IN FACT MY JOB IS NOT ONLY TO
RESPOND TO HURRICANES BUT TO
RESPOND TO NATURAL DISASTERS OR
HUMANITARIAN EMERGENCIES ALL
OVER THE WORLD.
Zoey says WOW.
Kirsten says I HAVE SOME
PICTURES OF THE
PLACES I'VE BEEN.
THERE'S ONE FROM HAITI, THE
PHILIPPINES.
BOTH COUNTRIES WERE AFFECTED BY
EARTHQUAKES AND HURRICANES.
Zoey says THAT'S CRAZY.
Kirsten says SUDAN WHICH IS
AFFECTED BY DROUGHT.
Zoey says SO IT MUST BE
HARD WORKING IN
NATURAL DISASTERS.
Kirsten says YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS TOUGH
BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE THE
LUXURIES THAT YOU HAVE IN YOUR
OWN HOME SO YOU HAVE TO BRING
EVERYTHING FOR YOURSELF.
SO IT'S KINDA LIKE CAMPING IN A
WAY.
WE BRING OUR OWN SLEEPING MATS
AND OF COURSE OUR OWN SLEEPING
BLANKETS OR SLEEPING BAGS.
IN SOME OF THESE
COUNTRIES THAT
ARE AFFECTED BY
HURRICANES AND A
LOT OF WATER THERE
ARE MOSQUITO
BREEDING GROUNDS
WHICH CAN CAUSE
DISEASE SO IT'S
IMPORTANT TO
BRING OUR OWN
MOSQUITO NETS.
THAT KEEPS U
SAFE FROM GETTING
MOSQUITO BORN
ILLNESS AT NIGHT.
SOMETHING ELSE
THAT WE BRING IS
OUR OWN FOOD
BECAUSE IN A LOT OF
THESE PLACES
PEOPLE DON'T HAVE
ENOUGH.
SO THIS IS CALLED
A READY TO EAT
MEAL.
IT'S ONE PREPACKAGED, DEHYDRATED
MEAL.
ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS REHEAT OR
ADD WATER AND YOU'RE READY TO
GO.
Zoey says YOU EVEN BRING TOILET
PAPER?
Kirsten says YES WE DO.
OFTEN IN THESE
PLACES THE
TOILETS HAVE BEE
DESTROYED OR
THEY DON'T WORK
AND AND SO WE
BRING OUR OWN
TOILET PAPER.
BUT WE ALSO BRING THIS SYSTEM
CALLED A PEEPOO BAG.
SO THESE BAGS
ARE BIODEGRADABLE
AND THEY CAN
BE USED FOR HUMAN
EXCREMENT, FECES,
OR URINE AND
YOU PUT YOUR
PAPER INSIDE, WRAP
IT UP AND YOU
PUT IT INTO A PILE
AND THAT IT CAN
BE USED FOR
FERTILIZER FOR
FUTURE AGRICULTURAL
INITIATIVES.
Zoey says THAT'S WEIRD.
Kirsten chuckles and says IT'S PRACTICAL.
IT DOESN'T LEAVE
ANY WASTE
BEHIND.
WE ALSO NEED TO BRING
OUR OWN WAYS TO MAKE WATER
CLEAN.
IN THESE PLACES
WHERE THERE'S A
LOT OF WATER LIKE
IN A HURRICANE
ALL THE WATER GETS
MIXED TOGETHER SO
OFTEN IT'S NOT SAFE
TO DRINK.
Zoey says YEAH.
Kirsten says AND SO WHAT WE
OFTEN DO IS BRING
THESE KINDS OF
DEVICES WHERE WE
CAN ACTUALLY
PUT A FILTER INTO
DIRTY WATER.
Zoey says WOW.
Kirsten says AND IT FILTERS OUT
ALL OF THE BAD STUFF AND YOU CAN
PUMP YOUR OWN WATER THAT'S SAFE
TO DRINK JUST LIKE THAT.
Zoey says WOW.
THIS IS A LOT
OF STUFF YOU BRING
TO A DISASTER.
I'M GONNA ASK MY FRIENDS WHAT
THEY WOULD BRING.
A caption reads "Ask a friend."
Zoey says HEY GUYS, WHAT ELSE WOULD YOU
BRING IF YOU ALREADY HAD THE
ESSENTIALS?
A girl in a floral jacket says I WOULD GATHER ALL MY
CONSTRUCTION BLOCKS, BRING THEM
WITH ME AND THEN GRAB MY TABLET.
A girl with blond hair in a ponytail says MY PIGGY BANK AND MY STUFFED
ANIMALS BECAUSE YOU CAN'T BRING
YOUR BED.
A boy with curly brown hair says A HOCKEY STICK AND A HOCKEY
PUCK.
A girl in a white T-shirt says I WOULD BRING MY FAVOURITE DOLL
BECAUSE I CAN'T SLEEP WITHOUT
IT.
A boy with short blond hair says MY TEDDY BEAR.
A girl in a blue T-shirt says IT WOULD BE A HARD CHOICE TO
DECIDE BETWEEN MY STUFFED MONKEY
AND MY PARENTS BECAUSE I LOVE MY
STUFFED MONKEY AND I LOVE MY
PARENTS.
A boy in a pink T-shirt says I WOULD BRING A SWIMMING SUIT TO
SWIM.
Zoey says IT SEEMS LIKE THERE'S BEEN A LOT
MORE WATER DISASTERS LATELY.
Kirsten says YOU'RE RIGHT AND
THAT'S LARGELY DUE TO CLIMATE
CHANGE AND YOU
KNOW SOMETIMES NOT HAVING WATER
CAN BE JUST AS MUCH OF A
DISASTER AS HAVING TOO MUCH
WATER.
HERE'S A PICTURE
OF LAKE CHAD
WHICH IS IN
NORTH AFRICA AND
IT'S ONLY 10 percent
OF ITS ORIGINAL
SIZE.
SO YOU CAN SEE HOW THIS AREA
THAT USED TO BE ALL FILLED WITH
WATER IS NOW SHRUNKEN DOWN TO A
FRACTION OF WHAT IT ORIGINALLY
WAS.
An animated map shows how the body of water has decreased since 1963.
Zoey says DR. KIRSTEN TOLD ME THAT
WITH CLIMATE CHANGE THERE'S BEEN
LESS RAIN AND MORE DROUGHT.
ALSO THERE ARE A LOT MORE PEOPLE
LIVING AROUND LAKE CHAD SO MORE
PEOPLE USE UP THE WATER
RESOURCES.
SAME THING IS HAPPENING IN THE
ARAL SEA.
LOOK AT HOW IT SHRUNK IN ONLY 25
YEARS.
Two satellite pictures show the Aral Sea in 1989 and 2014.
Zoey says A BIG PART OF IT IS NOW A
DESERT.
Kirsten says PEOPLE NEED TO BE REALLY CAREFUL
ABOUT USING WATER.
YOU KNOW IN CANADA IT'S LIKE WE
USE 100 OF THESE BUCKETS OF
WATER PER PERSON FOR EATING AND
COOKING AND WASHING A DAY BUT IN
SOME OF THE PLACES I VISITED
PEOPLE ONLY GET 3 OF THESE
BUCKETS A DAY SO YOU CAN IMAGINE
HOW MUCH DIFFERENCE THAT IS AND
HOW MUCH MORE WATER WE USE.
Zoey says WELL, THANKS FOR HELPING ME FIND
STUFF OUT.
Kirsten says OH YOU'RE
WELCOME ZOEY.
Zoey looks at her plants and says NOT BAD JERRY.
YOU REALLY BOUNCED BACK FROM THE
FLOOD.
STILL LOOKING GOOD FREDDIE.
I THINK I'M READY TO ANSWER THE
QUESTION THAT INSPIRED TODAY'S
SHOW.
Norah says HOW COME SOMETIMES THERE'S TOO
MUCH WATER BUT SOMETIMES THERE'S
NOT ENOUGH WATER?
Zoey says THE BIG ANSWER IS... .
Zoey plays the keyboards and says WATER MOVES.
THAT'S RIGHT.
WATER MOVES AROUND THE EARTH ALL
THE TIME BUT NATURAL DISASTERS
MAKE IT MOVE EVEN MORE.
TSUNAMIS PUSH SEA WATER ONTO
LAND.
HURRICANES SUCK WATER FROM THE
OCEAN AND SPIT IT SOMEWHERE
ELSE.
SNOW MELTS AND ALL THESE THINGS
PUT WATER WHERE WE DON'T WANT
IT.
THEN THERE ARE THE PLACES WE'D
LIKE THERE TO BE WATER BUT THERE
ISN'T.
SOMETIMES THIS IS NORMAL.
BUT OTHER TIMES DROUGHT
AND OTHER WATER DISASTERS ARE
MADE BY US.
THAT'S RIGHT.
I MEAN YOU AND ME BUT IF WE'RE
PREPARED FOR A NATURAL DISASTER
IT WON'T BE SO DISASTROUS.
(THUNDER)
Zoey says I HEAR A STORM COMING.
IT'S POURING.
QUICK.
GOTTA GET AN EMERGENCY BAG READY
JUST IN CASE.
HEY, WHERE ARE THE PEEPOO BAGS?
AHHHH.
(music plays)
Captions appear that read "Thanks to everyone who helped me out, Zoey Siewert."
The end credits roll as the "Flood" song plays again.
An Apartment 11 Productions.
Produced in association with TVO Kids.
Logo: TVO Kids.
Copyright 2018, 9117-3112 Québec Inc.
The song says IT FLOWS ACROSS THE PLAINS.
IT FILLS UP ALL THE DRAINS.
WHEN THERE'S TOO MUCH WATER.
IT CAN REALLY BE A PAIN.
WHEN COLD IT TURNS TO ICE AND
WE SLIDE AROUND LIKE DICE.
THERE'S SNOW THAT'S FUN TO
PLAY IN BUT ICE STORMS ARE
LESS THAN NICE.
OH YEAH.
In the attic, Zoey focuses the camera towards her and starts dancing around as animated stickers appear on the screen.
Zoey is around 12, with long wavy brown hair in a half ponytail. She wears a printed red dress, a denim vest, a beaded necklace and a watch.
(music plays)
Music grabs a ukulele and starts playing and sings a song as other Zoeys appear behind her doing different things.
The song goes MY NAME IS ZOEY
AND THIS IS MY SHOW
I'M FINDING STUFF OUT
THAT YOU WANT TO KNOW
JUST ASK ME A QUESTION
THAT I DON'T KNOW
THAT'S WHY "FINDING STUFF OUT."
IS THE NAME OF MY SHOW
Several kids pop up in frames of different shapes and colours.
The title Finding Stuff Out, where the letter O is replaced by a magnifying glass, appears several times on the screen.
The song continues SO JUST GIVE ME A SHOUT
AND WE'LL FIGURE IT OUT
WITH THE HELP
OF SOME FRIENDS
On her laptop screen roll different clips that show Zoey and her friends doing different activities as animated characters roll over the screen.
The song continues AND THE FUN NEVER ENDS
ON "FINDING STUFF OUT"
FINDING STUFF OUT
FINDING STUFF OUT
THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT
YEAH
Zoey waters her plants and says CHECK OUT THESE NEW SHOOTS.
GREAT JOB FREDDIE.
OH JERRY, YOU'RE LOOKING A
LITTLE THIRSTY BUT DON'T WORRY.
ZOEY TO THE RESCUE.
She floods Jerry and says OH.
UH-OH.
TOO MUCH WATER.
THAT REMINDS ME OF A QUESTION I
GOT FROM NORAH.
A blond girl says HOW COME SOMETIMES THERE'S TOO
MUCH WATER BUT SOMETIMES THERE'S
NOT ENOUGH WATER?
Zoey says YOU'RE RIGHT.
SOME PLACES GET FLOODED AND
OTHER PLACES TURN BONE DRY.
I KNOW WHY THERE WASN'T ENOUGH
WATER IN HERE.
EITHER JERRY DRINKS A LOT OF
WATER OR I FORGOT TO WATER HIM.
YEAH, I FORGOT TO WATER HIM.
AND THEN I WASN'T PAYING
ATTENTION AND I GAVE JERRY WAY
TOO MUCH.
SO TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION I'VE
COME HERE TO SCIENCE WORLD TO
MEET BRIAN WHO KNOWS A LOT ABOUT
WATER.
Brian is in his forties, bald and wears jeans and a blue T-shirt.
Zoey says HI BRIAN.
Brian says HI ZOEY.
Zoey says I'VE BEEN WONDERING ABOUT WATER
LIKE HOW THERE'S TOO MUCH AND
SOMETIMES THERE'S NOT ENOUGH.
Brian says WELL ZOEY, THE PLANET IS
OVER 70 percent WATER.
IN FACT THERE'S MORE WATER ON
EARTH THAN THERE IS LAND.
SO WE'RE GONNA LEARN NOW ABOUT
HOW WATER CAN MOVE FROM ONE
PLACE TO THE OTHER.
Zoey says COOL.
Brian says ONE OF THE WAY
IT DOES THIS IS
THROUGH EVAPORATION.
BIG LAKES AND OCEANS THE WATER
WILL HEAT UP AND TRAVEL UP INTO
THE SKY.
Zoey says OH, FORMING CLOUDS.
Brian says YEAH.
Brian gives Zoey some goggles and says SAFETY FIRST.
Zoey says THANK YOU.
Brian says WE'RE GONNA TRY THE SAME
THING USING A BIT OF RUBBING
ALCOHOL.
He pours some subbing alcohol inside a plastic bottle.
Brian says THIS EVAPORATES VERY EASILY.
READY?
ONE (CONTINUES COUNTING IN
BACKGROUND)
Zoey pumps air inside the bottle and says PUMPING AIR INCREASES THE
PRESSURE AND HEATS UP THE GAS.
WE'RE GONNA RELEASE ALL
THAT PRESSURE WHEN WE PULL OUT
THE NOZZLE.
THAT MAKES THE GAS COOL DOWN
FAST AND TRANSFORMS IT INTO TINY
DROPLETS OF LIQUID WHICH FORM A
CLOUD.
GOT IT.
Brian says WE LET THE
PRESSURE GO.
THE TEMPERATURE
GOES DOWN AND WE
HAVE A CLOUD IN
A BOTTLE.
Zoey says COOL.
LOOK AT THAT.
Brian says THAT IS AWESOME.
Zoey says SAME THING HAPPENS WITH
REAL CLOUDS IN THE AIR.
WHEN WATER WARMS UP IT
EVAPORATES INTO A GAS.
WHEN THAT VAPOUR RISES AND
REACHES THE SKY IT COOLS DOWN
AND TURNS INTO CLOUDS WHICH ARE
TINY DROPLETS OF WATER THAT
ALWAYS FIND THEIR WAY BACK DOWN
TO EARTH.
SPEAKING OF THAT.
MADDY HAS THIS QUESTION.
Maddy says HOW DOES A FLOOD HAPPEN?
Brian says WELL A FLOOD HAPPENS
WHEN YOU HAVE TOO
MUCH WATER.
THAT COULD BE TOO MUCH WATER
THAT'S BUILT UP BEHIND A DAM OR
A DYKE THAT'S BROKEN THROUGH OR
IT CAN BE TOO MUCH WATER COMING
DOWN FROM THE SKY IN A BIG
STORM.
Brian gives Zoey a house model and says SO ZOEY, I BROUGHT YOU A HOUSE
AND A BEAUTIFUL LAKE HERE.
WHERE WOULD YOU LIKE TO PLACE
YOUR HOUSE?
Zoey says HMM.
LET'S PLACE IT BY THE LAKE
BECAUSE I LIKE THE LAKE.
Brian says IT'S TRUE.
A LOT OF PEOPLE LIKE TO BE CLOSE
TO THE WATER.
OF COURSE WATER ALSO LIKES TO
FLOW DOWN.
I'M GONNA TURN THE WATER ON.
Zoey says ALRIGHT.
Brian says ALRIGHT.
THE WATER'S STARTING TO FLOW.
WE GOT A GENTLE RAIN STORM UP IN
THE MOUNTAINS STARTING TO COME
DOWN.
MAYBE A BIT OF SNOW MELTING UP
THERE.
Zoey says OH, OH, OH NO, OH NO.
MY HOUSE.
MY NEW CARPET.
MY NEW BOOK COLLECTION.
Brian says THAT IS ONE SOGGY HOUSE
THERE ZOEY.
Zoey says I GUESS WE'LL HAVE TO FIND
A BETTER PLACE FOR MY HOME.
Brian says SOUNDS LIKE
A PLAN.
ONE THING PEOPLE CAN DO TO
PROTECT HOUSES FROM WATER IS
BUILD DYKES AND WATER GATES TO
REDIRECT THE WATER AWAY FROM
WHERE YOU WANT IT TO GO.
Zoey says LET'S TRY IT AND
SEE IF MY HOUSE
WILL GO RIGHT HERE.
She puts the house by the dam.
Brian says SO THIS TIME
IT'S NOT MOVING AT
ALL.
OF COURSE, IN BIG
HEAVY RAINS,
SOMETIMES THE
DYKES WILL
OVERFLOW OR
EVEN BREAK.
He opens the dam gates.
Zoey says OH NO, MY HOUSE.
The water moves the house.
Brian says I HOPE YOU HAVE INSURANCE.
Zoey says WELL EVEN WITH THE DYKES
HERE I DON'T FEEL LIKE MY HOUSE
IS COMPLETELY SAFE.
OH THIS IS A GREAT
PLACE FOR MY
HOUSE.
She puts the house on a hill.
Brian says LOOKS GOOD ZOEY.
NICE HIGH GROUND,
SAFE FROM A
FLOOD.
Zoey says SO THE HIGHER
YOU ARE THE SAFER
YOU ARE FROM A FLOOD.
Brian says THERE'S LESS
WATER TO FLOW
THROUGH THAT'S
FOR SURE.
Zoey says I HAVE A QUESTION
ABOUT FLOODS.
Brian says AH.
A boy named Usman says HOW HIGH COULD A FLOOD GET?
Brian says FLOODS HAVE BEEN RECORDED
AS HIGH AS 6 METRES.
Zoey climbs up a flight of stairs and says AM I THERE YET?
Brian says HIGHER.
Zoey says AM I THERE YET?
Brian says THAT'S IT, 6 METRES.
An animation floods the screen.
Zoey climbs down and says OH NO.
OH, I MADE IT.
NICE JOB.
I HAVE A QUESTION.
Alice says HOW DO YOU GET RID OF A FLOOD?
Brian says THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION.
AS THE CLIMATE'S
CHANGING A LOT
OF PEOPLE ARE
THINKING MORE
ABOUT HOW THEY
CAN PREPARE
THEMSELVES
FOR A FLOOD.
IN FACT, HERE AT SCIENCE WORLD
WE'RE LOOKING AT THE WATER
LEVELS AROUND US AND REALIZING
THEY COULD GO UP AS MUCH AS 1 TO
2 METERS.
Zoey says WELL THEN WHAT
DO YOU DO IN A
FLOOD?
Brain says THE MAIN THING
IS TO STOP THE
WATER FROM COMING
IN AND DRY OUT
THE AREAS THAT
HAVE BEEN
AFFECTED.
THIS COULD BE USING BIG BLOWERS,
HEATERS.
ONE OF THE MAIN THINGS IS GET
ALL OF THE MOISTURE OUT OF
CARPETS, FURNITURE, WALLS,
BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT ANY MOLD
STARTING TO GROW INSIDE.
EVERYTHING HAS TO BE COMPLETELY
DRY.
Zoey says WELL THANKS
FOR THE TIPS.
I THINK IT'S TIME
WE TESTED THEM
OUT.
They double high-five.
Brian says YEAH.
(music plays)
In animation, Zoey flexes his arm, and then picks up the whole Earth and spins it.
A caption reads "My great challenge."
Zoey says TODAY'S CHALLENGERS ARE OPHELIA
AND NICK ON TEAM TURBULENCE.
Ophelia is around 12, with long wavy brown hair and wears jeans and a decorated black sweater.
Nick is around 12, with short straight brown hair and wears jeans, a white T-shirt and a black cardigan sweater.
They say TEAM TURBULENCE.
Zoey says AND CECILIA AND LOUIS ON
TEAM WILD WATER.
Cecilia is around 11, with long wavy light brown hair in pigtails and wears white trousers and a black and white plaid dress.
Louis is around 11, with short straight brown hair and wears glasses, jeans, a white T-shirt and an unbuttoned polka dotted blue shirt.
They say TEAM WILD WATER.
They stand on each side of a table with wholes and two cardboard houses below.
Zoey says WHEN I SAY GO I'M GOING TO
RELEASE THE MARBLE FLOOD WATER
AND YOUR JOB IS TO SWOOP IN AND
SAVE THE DAY BY DIRECTING THE
FLOOD AWAY FROM YOUR HOUSES
BELOW.
THE TEAM WITH THE FEWEST MARBLES
AROUND THEIR HOUSES BY THE END
OF THE CHALLENGE WINS.
ARE YOU GUYS READY?
They all say YEAH.
Zoey says OKAY.
AND GO.
Zoey releases the marbles down the table.
The team members use props to divert the marbles and say NO NO NO NO NO.
COME ON.
GO IN HERE.
COME ON.
Zoey says CHALLENGERS HAVE 2 WAYS TO
STOP THE FLOOD.
USING THEIR SANDBAGS THEY CAN
DIVERT THE RUSH OF THE WATER
MARBLES ONTO THE OTHER TEAMS
SIDE OR INTO THE DRAIN HOLES ON
THE EDGES OF THE RIVER.
The team members say NO NO NO.
COME ON.
GO IN HERE.
GO IN HERE.
Zoey says TRYING TO TO PUSH THE
MARBLES UPSTREAM IS USELESS.
THEY'RE ONLY GONNA GO BACK DOWN.
WATER IS REALLY HARD TO STOP.
The team member says COME ON.
NO NO NO NO.
Zoey says THAT'S IT.
NO MORE WATER.
JUDGING BY THE NUMBER OF MARBLES
AROUND THE HOUSES...
IT'S CLEAR THAT TEAM TURBULENCE
WON.
Team Turbulence say YAY, TEAM TURBULENCE.
Zoey says GOOD JOB GUYS.
YOU FOUGHT
THE FLOOD LIKE
SUPERHEROES.
In animation, Zoey dances over a flooded area and sings a song that says IT FLOWS ACROSS THE PLAINS.
IT FILLS UP ALL THE DRAINS.
WHEN THERE'S TOO MUCH WATER.
IT CAN REALLY BE A PAIN.
WHEN COLD IT TURNS TO ICE AND
WE SLIDE AROUND LIKE DICE.
THERE'S SNOW THAT'S FUN TO
PLAY IN BUT ICE STORMS ARE
LESS THAN NICE.
OH YEAH.
Zoey says NEXT QUESTION.
Lia says WHY ARE THERE ICE STORMS?
Zoey says WELL LIA, I CHECKED AND
THIS IS WHAT I FOUND OUT.
AN ICE STORM IS A STORM OF
FREEZING RAIN THAT COVERS
EVERYTHING IN A CRUNCHY SLIPPERY
COATING OF ICE.
IT HAPPENS WHEN FROZEN RAIN
FALLS THROUGH WARM AIR WHICH
MELTS IT.
BEFORE HITTING THE COLD GROUND
WHICH FREEZES IT.
THIS FORMS A LAYER OF ICE ON
TREES, CARS, THE SIDEWALK.
EVERYTHING.
THAT'S WHY IT'S ALWAYS IMPORTANT
TO CHECK YOUR WEATHER FORECAST
SO YOU CAN BE PREPARED FOR
ANYTHING.
BUT WHAT IF YOU CAN'T LOOK UP
THE FORECAST?
THAT REMINDS ME.
Liat says HOW DO ANIMALS SURVIVE IN A WILD
WEATHER?
Zoey says OH NO.
A DOG CAN'T LOOK UP THE WEATHER.
A CAT CAN'T CHECK THE FORECAST.
A MOOSE DOESN'T HAVE A WEATHER
APP.
AN ELEPHANT CAN'T LOOK UP THE
TEMPERATURE.
WHO WARNS THE PORCUPINES AND THE
MONKEYS?
In animation, Zoe’s head explodes.
A caption reads "You’re gonna make my head explode."
Zoey says SOME PEOPLE THINK ANIMALS HAVE A
SIXTH SENSE BECAUSE OF ALL THE
CRAZY, COOL WAYS THEY PREDICT
AND SURVIVE WILD WEATHER.
BUT THEY'RE JUST WAY MORE
OBSERVANT THAN US.
In animation, a distracted man walks as he listens to music. He pumps into a tree.
An elephant and a dog watch him as he falls.
Zoey says ANIMALS TUNE INTO THE WORLD
WHILE WE HUMANS HAVE TROUBLE
PAYING ATTENTION.
BEES SENSE CHANGES IN THE AIR
PRESSURE THAT OFTEN LEAD TO RAIN
SO THEY KNOW EXACTLY WHEN TO
HEAD INSIDE.
SHARKS NOTICE BIG TEMPERATURE
CHANGES IN THE OCEAN, MEANING, A
STORM'S COMING AND SWIM TO
SAFETY.
MOST LAND ANIMALS GO SOMEWHERE
HIGH AND SAFE IN A WATER
DISASTER LIKE THIS CLEVER DOG
WHO SURVIVED A FLOOD BY SWIMMING
UP TO THE ROOF.
BEFORE A TSUNAMI ELEPHANTS SENSE
MOVEMENTS IN THE EARTH AND RUN
TO HIGHER GROUND TRUMPETING AND
WARNING EACH OTHER.
I WISH I HAD A BUILT IN TRUMPET
TO WARN PEOPLE OF TSUNAMIS.
(ELEPHANT NOISES)
Zoey says VERONICA HAS A QUESTION ABOUT
TSUNAMIS.
Veronica says HOW DO TSUNAMIS START?
In animation, two pirates sail to the end of the Earth and fall down.
Pirates say ARGH! ARGH! ARGH!
(GASP) WOAH!
A caption reads "The flat Earth corner."
Dressed as a catfish, Zoey says KONICHIWA PEOPLE.
DID YOU KNOW THE WORD TSUNAMI IS
JAPANESE?
IT'S FROM TSU MEANING HARBOR AND
NAMI MEANING WAVE.
HERE IN 7TH CENTURY OF JAPAN WE
BELIEVE NAMAZU; A GIANT CATFISH,
ME, LASHED A TAIL MAKING A GIANT
WAVE.
She rides a wave and says AW, COME ON.
Zoey says WE KNOW NOW, RATHER THAN A GIANT
FISH, TSUNAMIS ARE CAUSED BY
NATURAL EVENTS LIKE THE
LANDSLIDES, VOLCANOS, GLACIERS
BREAKING AND EARTHQUAKES.
The attic shakes and Zoey says WHOA.
WHOA.
WHOA.
I FOUND OUT THAT WHEN THE EARTH
MOVES WATER MOVES TO FILL THE
GAPS.
IN A POWERFUL EARTHQUAKE THE
EARTH UNDER THE OCEAN CAN BE
LIFTED OR DROPPED WHICH CAUSES
GAPS.
THE WATER ABOVE IT RISES AND
MAKES GIANT WAVES ACROSS THE
OCEAN.
AS THE WATER MOVES CLOSER TO
SHORE WAVES GET BIGGER.
A TSUNAMI CAN MOVE AS FAST AS
1000 KILOMETRES AN HOUR.
THAT'S FASTER THAN A JET PLANE.
In animation, Zoey rubs a balloon on her head with the caption "The Experiment."
Zoey says MY FRIENDS MADE A TSUNAMI
SIMULATION.
HI GUYS.
A girl says HEY ZOEY.
A boy says HEY ZOEY.
Zoey says SO HOW DO YOU MAKE YOUR TSUNAMI?
The girl fills a plastic container with newspaper balls and says FIRST WE USE
NEWSPAPER, DIRT
AND SAND TO BUILD
OUR BEACH.
The boy says THEN WE ADD HOUSES AND TREES
TO MAKE IT MORE REALISTIC.
They cover the newspaper with dirt.
The girl says TIME FOR
THE SAND.
The boy says DO YOU LIKE BEACHES?
The girl says OF COURSE.
Zoey says THE HIGHEST TSUNAMI WAVE
EVER RECORDED WAS IN ALASKA.
The boy says NOW FOR THE
WATER.
Zoey says I CAN'T WAIT.
The kids pour water in the container.
Zoey says IT WAS 524 METRES.
ABOUT AS HIGH AS THE CN TOWER.
The girl says NOW IT'S TIME FOR THE BIG WAVE.
They say 3, 2, 1.
They push the water toward the beach with the help of a chopping board.
Zoey says MILLIONS OF TREES WERE
UPROOTED AND SWEPT AWAY.
THE POWERFUL WAVE WASHES UP ON
SHORE AND AS IT FLOWS BACK OUT
IT PULLS JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING
ALONG WITH IT.
YIKES.
THANKS GUYS!
The girl says BYE ZOEY.
The boy says BYE ZOEY.
Zoey says WHAT A CRAZY PLACE THE OCEAN IS
AND I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO
THINKS SO.
Emily says ARE THERE VOLCANOES UNDER WATER?
Zoey says WELL EMILY, I FOUND OUT
THAT DEEP BENEATH THE WAVES
THERE ARE ABOUT A MILLION
VOLCANOES.
THAT'S MORE VOLCANOES UNDERWATER
THAN ABOVE.
HERE'S HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN.
FIRST WE START WITH COLD WATER
REPRESENTING THE OCEAN.
THEN A BOWL OF HOT WATER
REPRESENTING THE LAVA FILLED
VOLCANO.
SO WE HAVE THIS LITTLE CUP AND
WE'RE GONNA FILL IT WITH WARM
WATER.
The cup is tuck to a long ruler.
Zoey says NEXT WE PUT SOME RED FOOD
COLOURING TO MAKE IT MORE
LAVA-Y.
STIR IT UP.
THEN WE PUT THE TIN FOIL ON AND
YOU WANT TO MAKE IT AS TIGHT AS
YOU CAN.
NEXT WE POKE A HOLE REPRESENTING
THE OPENING OF THE VOLCANO.
WHOA.
UNLIKE ON LAND, WHEN A VOLCANO
ERUPTS UNDERWATER LAVA DOESN'T
SHOOT OUT BECAUSE THERE'S SO
MUCH OCEAN WEIGHING IT DOWN.
SO YOU CAN BE IN A BOAT OVER AN
ERUPTING VOLCANO AND NEVER EVEN
KNOW IT WAS THERE.
DON'T WORRY LITTLE VOLCANO WE
KNOW YOU'RE THERE.
THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS
HAPPENING IN, UNDER AND EVEN
OVER THE OCEAN.
THAT REMINDS ME OF A QUESTION I
GOT FROM SOPHIA.
Sophia says HOW DO HURRICANES FORM?
Zoey says HURRICANES ARE PRETTY PICKY.
TO FORM, THE CONDITIONS HAVE TO
BE JUST RIGHT.
FIRST, THEY LIKE WARM OCEAN
WATER.
NEXT WE NEED A LOT OF WIND.
CLOUDS PULL WATER FROM THE OCEAN
UP WHICH MAKES A TUBE OF SUPER
SPEEDY AIR.
THIS MAKES A HURRICANE.
HURRICANES ARE WATER MOVING
MACHINES.
THEY SUCK UP WATER FROM ONE PART
OF THE PLANET...
AND SPIT IT SOMEWHERE ELSE.
SOMETIMES MAKING FLOODS.
TODAY, WEATHER SCIENTISTS MAKE
AN ALPHABETICAL LIST FOR THE
YEAR'S COMING HURRICANES.
ZENA, YORK, ZELDA BUT NO ZOEY.
PHEWF.
NEXT QUESTION.
Amelia says HOW DO YOU RESPOND TO
HURRICANES?
Zoey plays the ukulele and sings a song that says TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT
HURRICANES CALLED SAMMY OR
ROSIE OR EVEN ELAINE I CALLED
MY SPECIAL GUEST AND
DR. KIRSTEN'S HER NAME.
Kirsten says HI ZOEY.
Kirsten walks in the attic.
She’s in her thirties, with long blond hair with bangs and wears gray trousers and a black T-shirt. She carries a backpack and a sleeping bag.
Zoey says HI DR. KIRSTEN.
UM, I ASKED YOU TO COME OVER TO
BE ON MY SHOW NOT MOVE IN.
Kirsten says WELL, I CAME PREPARED A FOR
HURRICANE.
Zoey says THERE'S GONNA BE A HURRICANE?
Kirsten says NO.
THE FORECAST IS CLEAR BUT IT'S
GOOD TO BE PREPARED.
Zoey says SO AMELIA WANTS
TO KNOW HOW TO
RESPOND TO HURRICANES.
Kirsten says THAT'S KIND OF YOUR JOB RIGHT?
THAT IS MY JOB.
IN FACT MY JOB IS NOT ONLY TO
RESPOND TO HURRICANES BUT TO
RESPOND TO NATURAL DISASTERS OR
HUMANITARIAN EMERGENCIES ALL
OVER THE WORLD.
Zoey says WOW.
Kirsten says I HAVE SOME
PICTURES OF THE
PLACES I'VE BEEN.
THERE'S ONE FROM HAITI, THE
PHILIPPINES.
BOTH COUNTRIES WERE AFFECTED BY
EARTHQUAKES AND HURRICANES.
Zoey says THAT'S CRAZY.
Kirsten says SUDAN WHICH IS
AFFECTED BY DROUGHT.
Zoey says SO IT MUST BE
HARD WORKING IN
NATURAL DISASTERS.
Kirsten says YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS TOUGH
BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE THE
LUXURIES THAT YOU HAVE IN YOUR
OWN HOME SO YOU HAVE TO BRING
EVERYTHING FOR YOURSELF.
SO IT'S KINDA LIKE CAMPING IN A
WAY.
WE BRING OUR OWN SLEEPING MATS
AND OF COURSE OUR OWN SLEEPING
BLANKETS OR SLEEPING BAGS.
IN SOME OF THESE
COUNTRIES THAT
ARE AFFECTED BY
HURRICANES AND A
LOT OF WATER THERE
ARE MOSQUITO
BREEDING GROUNDS
WHICH CAN CAUSE
DISEASE SO IT'S
IMPORTANT TO
BRING OUR OWN
MOSQUITO NETS.
THAT KEEPS U
SAFE FROM GETTING
MOSQUITO BORN
ILLNESS AT NIGHT.
SOMETHING ELSE
THAT WE BRING IS
OUR OWN FOOD
BECAUSE IN A LOT OF
THESE PLACES
PEOPLE DON'T HAVE
ENOUGH.
SO THIS IS CALLED
A READY TO EAT
MEAL.
IT'S ONE PREPACKAGED, DEHYDRATED
MEAL.
ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS REHEAT OR
ADD WATER AND YOU'RE READY TO
GO.
Zoey says YOU EVEN BRING TOILET
PAPER?
Kirsten says YES WE DO.
OFTEN IN THESE
PLACES THE
TOILETS HAVE BEE
DESTROYED OR
THEY DON'T WORK
AND AND SO WE
BRING OUR OWN
TOILET PAPER.
BUT WE ALSO BRING THIS SYSTEM
CALLED A PEEPOO BAG.
SO THESE BAGS
ARE BIODEGRADABLE
AND THEY CAN
BE USED FOR HUMAN
EXCREMENT, FECES,
OR URINE AND
YOU PUT YOUR
PAPER INSIDE, WRAP
IT UP AND YOU
PUT IT INTO A PILE
AND THAT IT CAN
BE USED FOR
FERTILIZER FOR
FUTURE AGRICULTURAL
INITIATIVES.
Zoey says THAT'S WEIRD.
Kirsten chuckles and says IT'S PRACTICAL.
IT DOESN'T LEAVE
ANY WASTE
BEHIND.
WE ALSO NEED TO BRING
OUR OWN WAYS TO MAKE WATER
CLEAN.
IN THESE PLACES
WHERE THERE'S A
LOT OF WATER LIKE
IN A HURRICANE
ALL THE WATER GETS
MIXED TOGETHER SO
OFTEN IT'S NOT SAFE
TO DRINK.
Zoey says YEAH.
Kirsten says AND SO WHAT WE
OFTEN DO IS BRING
THESE KINDS OF
DEVICES WHERE WE
CAN ACTUALLY
PUT A FILTER INTO
DIRTY WATER.
Zoey says WOW.
Kirsten says AND IT FILTERS OUT
ALL OF THE BAD STUFF AND YOU CAN
PUMP YOUR OWN WATER THAT'S SAFE
TO DRINK JUST LIKE THAT.
Zoey says WOW.
THIS IS A LOT
OF STUFF YOU BRING
TO A DISASTER.
I'M GONNA ASK MY FRIENDS WHAT
THEY WOULD BRING.
A caption reads "Ask a friend."
Zoey says HEY GUYS, WHAT ELSE WOULD YOU
BRING IF YOU ALREADY HAD THE
ESSENTIALS?
A girl in a floral jacket says I WOULD GATHER ALL MY
CONSTRUCTION BLOCKS, BRING THEM
WITH ME AND THEN GRAB MY TABLET.
A girl with blond hair in a ponytail says MY PIGGY BANK AND MY STUFFED
ANIMALS BECAUSE YOU CAN'T BRING
YOUR BED.
A boy with curly brown hair says A HOCKEY STICK AND A HOCKEY
PUCK.
A girl in a white T-shirt says I WOULD BRING MY FAVOURITE DOLL
BECAUSE I CAN'T SLEEP WITHOUT
IT.
A boy with short blond hair says MY TEDDY BEAR.
A girl in a blue T-shirt says IT WOULD BE A HARD CHOICE TO
DECIDE BETWEEN MY STUFFED MONKEY
AND MY PARENTS BECAUSE I LOVE MY
STUFFED MONKEY AND I LOVE MY
PARENTS.
A boy in a pink T-shirt says I WOULD BRING A SWIMMING SUIT TO
SWIM.
Zoey says IT SEEMS LIKE THERE'S BEEN A LOT
MORE WATER DISASTERS LATELY.
Kirsten says YOU'RE RIGHT AND
THAT'S LARGELY DUE TO CLIMATE
CHANGE AND YOU
KNOW SOMETIMES NOT HAVING WATER
CAN BE JUST AS MUCH OF A
DISASTER AS HAVING TOO MUCH
WATER.
HERE'S A PICTURE
OF LAKE CHAD
WHICH IS IN
NORTH AFRICA AND
IT'S ONLY 10 percent
OF ITS ORIGINAL
SIZE.
SO YOU CAN SEE HOW THIS AREA
THAT USED TO BE ALL FILLED WITH
WATER IS NOW SHRUNKEN DOWN TO A
FRACTION OF WHAT IT ORIGINALLY
WAS.
An animated map shows how the body of water has decreased since 1963.
Zoey says DR. KIRSTEN TOLD ME THAT
WITH CLIMATE CHANGE THERE'S BEEN
LESS RAIN AND MORE DROUGHT.
ALSO THERE ARE A LOT MORE PEOPLE
LIVING AROUND LAKE CHAD SO MORE
PEOPLE USE UP THE WATER
RESOURCES.
SAME THING IS HAPPENING IN THE
ARAL SEA.
LOOK AT HOW IT SHRUNK IN ONLY 25
YEARS.
Two satellite pictures show the Aral Sea in 1989 and 2014.
Zoey says A BIG PART OF IT IS NOW A
DESERT.
Kirsten says PEOPLE NEED TO BE REALLY CAREFUL
ABOUT USING WATER.
YOU KNOW IN CANADA IT'S LIKE WE
USE 100 OF THESE BUCKETS OF
WATER PER PERSON FOR EATING AND
COOKING AND WASHING A DAY BUT IN
SOME OF THE PLACES I VISITED
PEOPLE ONLY GET 3 OF THESE
BUCKETS A DAY SO YOU CAN IMAGINE
HOW MUCH DIFFERENCE THAT IS AND
HOW MUCH MORE WATER WE USE.
Zoey says WELL, THANKS FOR HELPING ME FIND
STUFF OUT.
Kirsten says OH YOU'RE
WELCOME ZOEY.
Zoey looks at her plants and says NOT BAD JERRY.
YOU REALLY BOUNCED BACK FROM THE
FLOOD.
STILL LOOKING GOOD FREDDIE.
I THINK I'M READY TO ANSWER THE
QUESTION THAT INSPIRED TODAY'S
SHOW.
Norah says HOW COME SOMETIMES THERE'S TOO
MUCH WATER BUT SOMETIMES THERE'S
NOT ENOUGH WATER?
Zoey says THE BIG ANSWER IS... .
Zoey plays the keyboards and says WATER MOVES.
THAT'S RIGHT.
WATER MOVES AROUND THE EARTH ALL
THE TIME BUT NATURAL DISASTERS
MAKE IT MOVE EVEN MORE.
TSUNAMIS PUSH SEA WATER ONTO
LAND.
HURRICANES SUCK WATER FROM THE
OCEAN AND SPIT IT SOMEWHERE
ELSE.
SNOW MELTS AND ALL THESE THINGS
PUT WATER WHERE WE DON'T WANT
IT.
THEN THERE ARE THE PLACES WE'D
LIKE THERE TO BE WATER BUT THERE
ISN'T.
SOMETIMES THIS IS NORMAL.
BUT OTHER TIMES DROUGHT
AND OTHER WATER DISASTERS ARE
MADE BY US.
THAT'S RIGHT.
I MEAN YOU AND ME BUT IF WE'RE
PREPARED FOR A NATURAL DISASTER
IT WON'T BE SO DISASTROUS.
(THUNDER)
Zoey says I HEAR A STORM COMING.
IT'S POURING.
QUICK.
GOTTA GET AN EMERGENCY BAG READY
JUST IN CASE.
HEY, WHERE ARE THE PEEPOO BAGS?
AHHHH.
(music plays)
Captions appear that read "Thanks to everyone who helped me out, Zoey Siewert."
The end credits roll as the "Flood" song plays again.
An Apartment 11 Productions.

The song says IT FLOWS ACROSS THE PLAINS.
IT FILLS UP ALL THE DRAINS.
WHEN THERE'S TOO MUCH WATER.
IT CAN REALLY BE A PAIN.
WHEN COLD IT TURNS TO ICE AND
WE SLIDE AROUND LIKE DICE.
THERE'S SNOW THAT'S FUN TO
PLAY IN BUT ICE STORMS ARE
LESS THAN NICE.
OH YEAH.
