(Music playing)
Eric is surrounded by animated scientific instruments. He has short dark brown hair and wears a blue ScienceXplosion t-shirt.
Singing, WHAT A HIT, IT'S NOT A TRICK, IT'S SCIENCXPLOSION! JUST FOR YOU, COOL AND NEW, SCIENCEXPLOSION !

(Music playing)
Eric sits at a table, drawing on a piece of paper. He looks up. A framed picture showing a constellation lights up.
Vox says, HI ERIC! DO YOU RECOGNIZE THIS CONSTELLATION? IT'S CALLED URSA MAJOR. IT'S ALSO KNOWN AS THE GREAT BEAR. CONSTELLATIONS HAVE SHAPES THAT LOOK LIKE ANIMALS, OBJECTS, OR EVEN PEOPLE. THEY ARE ALL IMAGES WE CAN IMAGINE WHEN WE LOOK AT STARS IN THE SKY! DO YOU WANT TO HELP ME MAKE A SPECIAL LANTERN THAT CAN PROJECT THIS CONSTELLATION? YOU'RE GOING TO NEED A FLASHLIGHT.
Eric nods. He looks like he has an idea. Eric picks up a folded piece of brown paper.
Vox asks, WHAT ARE YOU UP TO, ERIC? ANOTHER DRAWING? OK YOU HAVE A PAPER BAG, AND IT'S ... EMPTY?
(Musical shimmers)
Eric pulls a flashlight out of the bag.
Vox says, THAT'S AMAZING YOU MADE A FLASHLIGHT APPEAR! BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO MAKE ANYTHING ELSE APPEAR. I PUT TOGETHER EVERYTHING YOU'LL NEED. IT'S ALL IN A BOX IN THE OTHER ROOM.
(Music playing)
Eric is back at the table. He takes objects out of a box.
Vox says, TO PROTECT THE TABLE, WE'LL START BY PUTTING THIS PIECE OF CARDBOARD ON IT. PUT THE SHEET OF FOIL PAPER THAT I CUT OUT FOR YOU ON TOP OF THE CARDBOARD. AND NOW, PUT THIS DRAWING OF A CONSTELLATION, WHICH I FOUND ON THE INTERNET, ON TOP OF THE FOIL.
Eric puts a paper with the drawing on top of a piece of foil.
Vox continues, USE DOUBLE-SIDED TAPE TO KEEP THE DRAWING IN PLACE, ON TOP OF THE FOIL PAPER.
(Tape tearing)
Vox says, USE A LITTLE TAPE ON EACH SIDE TO KEEP IT FIRMLY IN PLACE.
Eric picks up the taped foil and paper and mimes biting it.
Vox says, I KNOW, IT'S LIKE A FOIL SANDWICH. BUT DON'T EAT IT! NEXT, TAKE A VERY SHARP PENCIL AND PUSH DOWN ON EACH STAR IN THE DRAWING. PRESS FIRMLY UNTIL YOU PIERCE THE PAPER AND MARK THE FOIL UNDERNEATH. EXACTLY LIKE THAT, ERIC! THEN DO THE SAME THING FOR EACH STAR IN THE CONSTELLATION. GREAT JOB! REMEMBER TO PRESS VERY HARD TO MAKE A HOLE IN THE FOIL.
(Boinging)
Eric pokes holes in the foil.
Vox says, NOW THE CONSTELLATION PATTERN SHOULD APPEAR ON THE FOIL, TOO!
Eric holds up the foil.
Vox says, NEXT, PUT YOUR FOIL INSIDE A GLASS JAR. PRESS IT FIRMLY BUT CAREFULLY INTO THE SIDES OF THE JAR.
Eric rolls the foil loosely and fits it inside a clear jar.
Vox says, NOW ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS PUT A FLASHLIGHT IN THE JAR AND CLOSE THE LID!
Eric screws the lid on the jar.
Vox says, UM ... ERIC? YOU NEED TO TURN ON THE FLASHLIGHT.
Eric taps his head and smiles. He opens the jar.
Vox says, IT'S SO MUCH FUN TO DO SCIENCE WITH YOU!
(Shimmering sound)
Eric turns on the flashlight and puts it back in the jar. He sets the lid on the jar. He taps his hands on the table.
Vox says, UM, ERIC? WE NEED TO TURN OFF THE LIGHTS, TOO.
(Clapping)
The room darkens. Points of light shine out from the jar onto a blackboard. Eric points.
Vox says, THERE IT IS. THE CONSTELLATION KNOWN AS THE GREAT BEAR!
(Music playing)
The lights are back on, and Eric stands at the blackboard. He draws a circle on it with chalk. Eric hits the board, and it turns into an animated view of outer space.
Vox says, DIFFERENT CULTURES HAVE IMAGINED THE SAME CONSTELLATIONS IN DIFFERENT WAYS. MANY EUROPEANS AND MI’KMAW THOUGHT THE CONSTELLATION URSA MAJOR LOOKED LIKE A BEAR. ITS NAME MEANS BIG, OR GREAT, BEAR. BUT THE INUIT CALL THE SAME CONSTELLATION "THE CARIBOU", THE ANCIENT EGYPTIANS SAW IT AS AN OX'S LEG AND THE ROMANS CALLED IT A CHARIOT!
Eric snuggles with a stuffed bear on a couch. He is covered with a blue blanket and his eyes are closed.
Vox whispers, YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS CAN MAKE A GLOWING LANTERN TO PROJECT THE CONSTELLATIONS, TOO! COPY ERIC'S CONSTELLATION OR USE A NEW ONE. IT'S LIKE SLEEPING UNDER THE STARS WHILE YOU'RE IN YOUR LIVING ROOM! IT'S NOT MAGIC, IT'S SCIENCE!
