Transcript: Ten Thousand, Hundred Thousand
(soft music plays)
A Female Announcer says WELCOME TO
TVOKIDS
POWER HOUR OF LEARNING.
TODAY'S JUNIOR LESSON:
TEN THOUSAND, HUNDRED
THOUSAND.
Steven is in his mid-forties, with a beard and bald. He wears black-rimmed glasses, earphones and a blue shirt.
A caption reads "Junior 4-6. Teacher Steven." Steven sits at a desk near a colourful Value Chart that reads "Hundred Thousands, Ten Thousands, Thousands, Hundreds, Tens, Ones, Tenths, Hundredths."
Steven says HELLO, EVERYBODY.
MY NAME IS TEACHER STEVEN
AND THANK YOU FOR JOINING ME
AT
TVOKIDS POWER
HOUR OF LEARNING.
YOU'VE MADE A VERY GOOD DECISION
JOINING ME TODAY.
OF ALL THE DIFFERENT PLACES
THAT YOU COULD BE,
YOU DECIDED YOU'D JOIN ME
HERE TODAY, SO THANK YOU.
SO, TODAY WE'RE GONNA BE TALKING
ABOUT TWO BIG NUMBERS.
TWO REALLY BIG NUMBERS.
IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND
THOSE NUMBERS,
WE'RE GONNA NEED TO LOOK AT
MY PLACE VALUE CHART RIGHT HERE.
THE NUMBERS THAT
WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT
APPEAR CLOSER TO THE END
OF OUR PLACE VALUE CHART.
AND IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND
THOSE NUMBERS,
WE'RE GONNA GO BACK
TO THE BEGINNING OF MY CHART.
NOW, WE'RE GONNA START
RIGHT HERE WITH THE ONES.
AND WE'RE JUST TALKING
ABOUT A GROUP OF ONES,
SINGLE ITEMS.
IT COULD BE A HANDFUL
OF JELLYBEANS.
IT COULD BE THIS
GLUE STICK RIGHT HERE.
THE ONES.
NOW, LET'S LOOK AT OUR TENS,
RIGHT HERE.
AND IT COULD BE
TEN ITEMS,
OR TEN GROUPS OF ITEMS.
IT COULD BE TEN PENCILS.
IT COULD BE TWO GROUPS
OF TEN PENCILS.
TENS!
THEN WE'VE GOT
OUR HUNDREDS.
A HUNDRED ITEMS.
A HUNDRED THINGS.
IT COULD BE 100 PAGES
IN THIS BOOK.
THIS BOOK
HAS OVER 300 PAGES,
WHICH WOULD BE
THREE GROUPS OF 100.
THEN WE'VE GOT
OUR THOUSANDS.
NOW, WHEN WE LOOK
AT THOUSANDS OF THINGS,
WE DON'T OFTEN HAVE
A THOUSAND PAIRS OF SOCKS
OR A THOUSAND SHOES
IN OUR HOUSE,
BUT THERE ARE 1,000 ITEMS
THAT ARE LURKING AROUND
IF WE LOOK VERY CAREFULLY.
HERE,
I HAVE WHAT I IMAGINE
IS SEVERAL THOUSAND
GRAINS OF RICE.
THEY LIVE IN MY KITCHEN.
NOW, TODAY WE ARE GONNA TRY
AND MAKE SOME CONNECTIONS
WITH OUR TEN THOUSANDS,
AS WELL AS OUR
HUNDRED THOUSANDS.
NOTICE THINGS WE MIGHT HAVE
TO LOOK A LITTLE BIT CLOSER
TO TRY AND LOCATE.
I'M THINKING
IN MY OWN NEIGHBOURHOOD,
WHAT MIGHT THERE BE
TEN THOUSAND OF?
WELL, I IMAGINE
THERE MIGHT BE 10,000 PEOPLE.
NOT JUST IN
THIS NEIGHBOURHOOD,
BUT THE NEIGHBOURHOODS MOVING
AWAY FROM MY NEIGHBOURHOOD.
THERE MIGHT BE,
JUST DOWN THE STREET
AT THE LOCAL BANK,
SOMEBODY'S BANK ACCOUNT
THAT HAS 10,000,
OR SEVERAL GROUPS
OF 10,000 DOLLARS.
AND IF THEY'RE DOIN'
REALLY WELL,
THEY MIGHT HAVE OVER
A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS.
WOULDN'T THAT BE SWEET?
NOW, THAT WOULD BE WONDERFUL
FOR THOSE PEOPLE,
AND, SPEAKING OF PEOPLE,
LET'S GO MEET A FEW PEOPLE
AS WE TRAVEL AROUND THE WORLD
WITH
THAT TVOKIDS SHOW.
Lucas is in his twenties, with short puffy brown hair and wears jeans and an orange T-shirt.
Laura is in her twenties, with above the shoulders straight brown hair with bangs and wears jeans and a purple T-shirt.
As a song plays, Lucas and Laura walk in the woods, cross a bridge, balance on a fallen tree trunk, cross a stream, run across the city and in a park full of geese. Fast clips show them next to Greg playing and having fun in the tree fort. Greg is in his twenties, with short black hair. He wears a blue sweater.
The song says PACK UP YOUR BAGS
KISS YOUR TURTLE GOODBYE
COME UP AND CLIMB
WHERE WE CAN TOUCH THE SKY
SO MUCH TO SEE
SO MUCH TO DO
IN OUR TREE FORT
WE GOT A SHOW FOR
THAT TVOKIDS, THAT TVOKIDS
THAT TVOKIDS
THAT TVOKIDS SHOW
Laura says PASSWORD PLEASE.
[FWEET!]
Lucas whispers something in Laura's ear as a caption reads "Globe."
In animation, a dialogue bubbles pop out of a map with a caption "That TVO Kids Show."
The song continues LA, LA, LA, DO, DO, DO,
BLAH, BLAH, BLAH
THAT TVOKIDS SHOW!
Lucas appears in the sky.
He says WHAT? THAT'S SUCH
A GOOD IDEA!
Laura says YES! TVOKIDS,
I WAS JUST
TELLING LUCAS
THAT TODAY'S AROUND
THE WORLD DAY,
SO WE ARE GOING
TO TRAVEL THE WORLD!
Lucas says OKAY, BUT THERE'S SO MANY
PLACES TO GO IN THE WORLD.
WHERE SHOULD WE GO?
Laura says OKAY, BUT HOLD ON.
I JUST WANNA SAY FIRST
THAT TRAVELLING
THE WORLD TODAY,
WE'RE DOING IT
VIRTUALLY!
Laura shows two free tickets.
Lucas says YOU DIDN'T EVEN SHOW ME
YOU HAD TICKETS!
Laura says I KNOW!
I HAVE OUR VIRTUAL
TRAVEL TICKETS,
SO WE'RE ACTUALLY GONNA
USE OUR IMAGINATIONS...
Luc as says YEAH.
Laura says TO TRAVEL
AROUND THE WORLD
AND LEARN ABOUT
DIFFERENT CULTURES.
Lucas says YEAH, IT'S NOT
A TIME TO TRAVEL.
WE CAN USE
OUR IMAGINATIONS
AND WE CAN PRETEND
WE'RE THERE, RIGHT?
Laura says TOTALLY.
WE CAN LEARN ABOUT
MUSIC AND FOOD.
Lucas says OOH! DANCE?
Laura says AND DANCE.
Lucas says ALL OF THE ABOVE!
Laura says OKAY, OKAY. WHERE
DO WE GO, THOUGH?
Lucas says OKAY, UM,
LET'S PICK A PLACE
THAT STARTS WITH AN I.
Laura says INDIA.
Lucas says MM-HM, I'VE ALWAYS
WANTED TO GO TO INDIA.
Laura says OKAY! WHAT ABOUT SOMEWHERE
THAT STARTS WITH A G?
Lucas says OKAY,
A G, A G, A G...
GHANA!
Laura says YES!
OKAY, UM, WE SHOULD GO
ONE MORE PLACE.
Lucas says OKAY, WHAT LETTER?
Laura says UH, LET'S JUST DO
ANOTHER G.
Lucas says OKAY.
Laura says OKAY.
Lucas says LET'S SAY IT
ON THE COUNT OF THREE.
Laura says OKAY.
They say ONE, TWO, THREE.
GREECE!
Laura says DID WE SAY
THE SAME ONE?
Lucas says OUR MINDS ARE SYNCED!
Laura says WE'RE CONNECTED!
Lucas says AND WE'RE GOING TO
THOSE THREE PLACES!
Laura says OKAY, TVOKIDS, THIS
IS GONNA BE AMAZING.
I CAN'T WAIT TO CASH IN
THESE TICKETS.
Lucas laughs and says I KNOW!
Laura says YEAH!
I'M GONNA GO PACK.
The frog phone rings.
Laura says YEAH, YOU GO PACK
'CAUSE I GOTTA ANSWER THIS.
Lucas says OKAY.
Laura says OKAY.
Lucas says HAVE FUN.
Laura says BYE!
Lucas says BYE!
She puts on the headsets and says HELLO,
WHO'S CALLING?
On the phone, Mikhail says HELLO, MY NAME IS MIKHAIL
AND I'M SEVEN YEARS OLD
AND I'M FROM BARBADOS.
Laura says YOU'RE FROM BARBADOS?!
OKAY, MIKHAIL,
WHAT'S THE PASSWORD
FOR THE FORT?
Mikhail says GLOBE.
Laura says YES, "GLOBE"!
MIKHAIL, YOU'RE GOIN'
IN THE SKY.
She gasps and says MIKHAIL!
WELCOME TO
THE TREE FORT!
ARE YOU CALLING
FROM BARBADOS?
Mikhail sits outdoors with palm trees behind him. He has short curly black hair.
Mikhail says YES.
Laura says OKAY,
THAT IS SO COOL.
IT LOOKS BEAUTIFUL
BEHIND YOU.
UH, WHAT'S THE WEATHER
LIKE THERE?
Mikhail says HOT AND SUNNY.
Laura says HOT AND SUNNY!
THAT IS AMAZING.
OKAY, MIKHAIL,
WE'RE TRYING TO LEARN
ABOUT OTHER CULTURES
TODAY.
UM, IS THERE SOMETHING SPECIAL
ABOUT THE CULTURE IN BARBADOS?
MAYBE A FAVOURITE FOOD
OF YOURS?
Mikhail says YES.
Laura says YES?
COOL!
Mikhail says FLYING FISH.
Laura says FLYING FISH?!
NO WAY!
SO, WAIT.
THEY DON'T REALLY FLY,
DO THEY?
Mikhail says NO, THEY DON'T REALLY FLY.
Laura says NO, THEY DON'T REALLY FLY,
BUT THEY TASTE GOOD?
Mikhail says YES.
Laura says COOL.
OKAY.
MIKHAIL,
THAT IS AMAZING.
I'M SO HAPPY YOU'RE
CALLING IN FROM BARBADOS.
UM, WE'RE GONNA CHECK OUT
SOME "CUTE TIME OOT" VIDEOS
AND YOU GET TO CHOOSE
YOUR FAVOURITE.
HOW'S THAT SOUND?
Mikhail says GOOD.
Laura says AMAZING. OKAY, LET'S
CHECK OUT THE CHAMPION.
A slate reads "Champion."
Mikhail and a white dog with a cape and a mask appear in split screens.
Laura says OKAY, THIS HAS BEEN THE
CHAMPION FOR A BIT NOW.
THIS IS
THE SUPERHERO DOG.
MIKHAIL,
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
Mikhail says GOOD.
Laura chuckles and says GOOD?
OKAY, WHAT WOULD YOU RATE
THE HERO DOG OUT OF TEN?
Mikhail says HMM.
Laura says HMM.
Mikhail says I'LL GIVE HIM...A TEN.
Laura says A TEN OUT OF TEN?
Mikhail smiles and nods.
Laura says OKAY, REALLY GOOD!
LET'S SEE HOW THAT DOES
UP AGAINST THE CHALLENGER.
An armadillo walks on a floor.
Laura says OHH!
I THINK THIS IS
AN ARMADILLO!
THAT'S SO COOL!
UH, MIKHAIL, HOW DID YOU
FEEL ABOUT THAT ONE?
Mikhail says GOOD, AND I'LL GIVE IT
TEN OUT OF EIGHT.
Laura says TEN OUT OF EIGHT.
OKAY, WAIT.
DOES THAT MEAN THAT YOU
CHOOSE THE ARMADILLO
AS THE WINNER?
Mikhail says YES.
Laura says YES!
OKAY, I REALLY LIKED
THAT ONE TOO.
THAT MEANS IT MOVES ON
TO TOMORROW.
MIKHAIL, THANK YOU
SO MUCH FOR CALLING IN.
I HOPE YOU CALL IN
AGAIN FROM BARBADOS!
Mikhail says BYE.
Laura says BYE! SEE YA LATER!
(applause)
THAT WAS AWESOME.
I HOPE I GET TO TRY
FLYING FISH ONE DAY.
THAT WOULD BE
REALLY COOL.
BUT TVOKIDS, WE'RE GONNA KEEP
OUR VIRTUAL TRAVELLING GOING.
UM, WE'RE GONNA TALK
A BIT ABOUT MUSIC,
WHICH IS A REALLY GREAT WAY
TO LEARN ABOUT CULTURE AS WELL.
SO, OUR NEXT GUEST,
THEY ACTUALLY PLAY SOMETHING
CALLED THE DJEMBE DRUM,
WHICH IS A TRADITIONAL
WEST AFRICAN DRUM,
SO I'M REALLY EXCITED
TO LEARN ABOUT IT.
PLEASE WELCOME AMARA
TO THE SKY.
AMARA, WELCOME!
Amara is in his mid-forties, clean-shaven and bald. He wears a patterned shirt and a necklace.
A caption reads "Amara Kante."
Amara smiles and says HI! HOW ARE YOU?
Laura says I'M SO GOOD.
I'M SO EXCITED
TO HAVE YOU
IN THE TREE
FORT.
HOW ARE YOU
TODAY?
Amara says I'M VERY GOOD.
Laura says AWESOME!
OKAY, AMARA,
YOU PLAY THE DJEMBE DRUM.
CAN YOU TELL THE TVOKIDS A
LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT IT IS?
Amara says WELL, THE DJEMBE COMIN' FROM
THE WEST AFRICA GUINEA-CONAKRY.
IT'S ONE INSTRUMENT
VERY, VERY POWERFUL
AND A COMMUNICATION
INSTRUMENT,
AND TO MAKE THE LIVELY
MUSIC TOGETHER,
TO HAVE FUN.
TO HAVE THE-- WHEN YOU'RE HAVING
THE BABY SHOWER,
WHEN YOU'RE HAVING
THE MARRIAGE,
WHEN YOU'RE HAVING
A WEDDING,
THE DJEMBE IS THERE
TO BRING IN
THIS ENERGY TOGETHER.
Laura says OH, THAT'S SO COOL!
SO, IT'S USED
EVERYWHERE,
AT ALL THESE SPECIAL EVENTS
TO BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER.
THAT IS
REALLY AWESOME.
Amara says EXACTLY.
Laura says OKAY, AMARA,
I WANNA KNOW,
WHAT DO YOU THINK,
WHY...
WHY IS MUSIC
SO IMPORTANT
IN HELPING TO UNDERSTAND
OTHER CULTURES?
Amara says FOR THAT, FOR ME,
FOR AMARA KANTÉ,
THE INFLUENCE ON THE CULTURE OF
THE MUSIC IS VERY IMPORTANT.
EVERYTHING YOU'RE DOING
IN YOUR LIFE,
THE MUSIC
IS VERY IMPORTANT.
YOU GOING TO PAN,
YOU MAKE THE JEWELRY,
YOU HAVE YOUR FOOD,
YOU HAVE EVERYTHING
IN YOUR LIFE
AND THE MUSIC IS SPIRITUAL.
AND RIGHT NOW,
FOR THE PANDEMIC,
EVERYONE WILL NEED
THIS ENERGY-
MUSICAL, SPIRITUAL,
TO COME TOGETHER
TO BRING THE ENERGY UP
FOR EVERYBODY AND THE CULTURE
TO BE ONE.
Laura says 100 percent, YEAH!
ALL OF US LIVING
THROUGH A PANDEMIC,
IT'S BEEN REALLY HARD
BUT MUSIC TOTALLY IS
SOMETHING THAT CONNECTS US,
WHICH IS AMAZING.
ALSO,
I'M VERY EXCITED.
ARE YOU GONNA BE PLAYING
SOMETHING FOR US?
Amara says AH!
AH, YOU WANNA SEE
MY DJEMBE?
Laura says YES!
OF COURSE WE DO!
Amara says AND DON'T FORGET THAT
THE DJEMBE'S COMIN'
FROM MY PEOPLE!
MY PEOPLE, THE (UNCLEAR).
YOU READY?
Laura says I'M SO READY!
(energetic percussion)
Amara plays the Djembe.
Laura says YES!
A-MAZE-ING.
AMARA, I CAN FEEL
THE ENERGY
ALL THE WAY OVER HERE
IN THE TREE FORT.
Amara chuckles.
Laura says THANK YOU SO MUCH,
AMARA,
FOR HANGING OUT
WITH US TODAY
AND FOR TAKING THE TIME
TO TEACH US A LITTLE BIT
ABOUT YOUR CULTURE AND
ABOUT THE DJEMBE DRUM.
Amara says THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Laura says THANKS, AMARA.
WE'LL SEE YOU
NEXT TIME.
Amara says THANK YOU.
BYE-BYE.
Laura says THANKS, AMARA!
SO COOL. TVOKIDS,
YOU CAN ALSO LEARN
HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN
DJEMBE DRUM AT HOME.
LET'S CHECK OUT THIS
BACKYARD BEATS
CLIP.
(energetic music playing)
Monica dances to a drum beat. She is about 14 years old. She has long black hair. She wears a patterned T-shirt under a denim overall.
Monica says WHO'S READY TO GET
THEIR DJEMBE ON?
I KNOW I AM!
IT'S TIME TO GET
CRAFT-STRUMENT-- ING.
HERE ARE THE MATERIALS
I'LL NEED
TO CREATE MY VERY OWN
DIY DJEMBE.
FIRST,
A NICE-SIZED PLASTIC BUCKET.
SOME PACKING TAPE,
OR YOU COULD USE SOME
GOOD OLD MR. CELLOPHANE.
TWO CYLINDER CHIP CANS
WHICH I'VE DECORATED
WITH SOME FUN DUCT TAPE.
(rattling)
She shakes the cans and says OOH.
(chuckling)
(crunching)
She eats a chip and continues WASTE NOT, WANT NOT.
THEN I'LL NEED A DRILL,
DRILLING GOGGLES,
DECORATIONS FOR LATER,
AND FINALLY...
YOU REMEMBER MY OLD DRESSING
ROBE THAT I FOUND EARLIER?
TOLD YA
IT'D COME IN HANDY.
LET'S GET TO THE BEAT.
A slate reads "The base."
Wearing goggles, Monica says SO, FOR THE FIRST STEP,
I'M GOING TO VERY CAREFULLY
DRILL TWO HOLES INTO THE BUCKET
NEAR THE OPENING
ON EITHER SIDE.
The slate changes to "The Strap."
Monica says THIS IS THE STRAP
THAT I'LL USE
TO ATTACH THE DRUM
TO MYSELF,
SORT OF LIKE
A REVERSE BACKPACK.
I'M GOING TO TAKE THE ROPE BELT
AND FEED IT THROUGH THE HOLES.
I WANT TO MEASURE
JUST HOW TIGHT I'LL NEED IT
BEFORE TYING IT SNUG.
She hangs the rope with the bucket around her neck.
(music plays)
The slate changes to "The skin."
Monica says NEXT, I'M GOING TO WRAP
THE TOP OF THE PLASTIC BUCKET
NICE AND TIGHT
WITH SOME PACKING TAPE.
The slate changes to "The extra notes."
Monica says THEN, ONCE I'VE
TRIPLE-CHECKED...
THAT THERE ARE NO MORE CHIPS
LEFT IN EITHER
OF THE CYLINDER CANS,
I'M GOING TO TAKE
ONE OF THE CANS
AND SLIGHTLY BEND
ONE SIDE INWARDS,
SO THE BEND RESEMBLES
AN OPEN-MOUTHED SMILE.
THIS WILL GIVE THE TWO CANS
A DIFFERENT SOUND.
I'M GOING TO TAPE
THE TWO CHIP CANS UPSIDE-DOWN
SO THEY'RE LEVEL
WITH THE TOP OF THE BUCKET.
I'M SO CLOSE TO MY VERY OWN
DIY DJEMBE CRAFT-STRUMENT.
DID YOU KNOW THAT THE DJEMBE
ORIGINATED IN WEST AFRICA
OVER 12 CENTURIES AGO?!
THAT'S OVER 1,200 YEARS
FOR THOSE OF US COUNTING.
MY FAVOURITE PART
IS UP NEXT-
DECORATING!
I CAN PUT WHATEVER I WANT
ON THE DJEMBE-
STICKERS, SOME PAINT,
POPSICLE STICKS, ANYTHING.
NOW, I'M GOING TO USE THE
ROPE STRAP TO PUT THE DRUM ON
SO IT STAYS PUT
FOR ALL THE...
(imitating drum roll)
DRUMMING THAT'S COMIN' UP!
TA-DA!
MY VERY OWN DJEMBE.
She plays her crafted Djembe.
(laughing)
She says AWESOME!
IT SOUNDS GREAT.
I'M GONNA ADD SOME MORE BLING
SO IT'LL LOOK SUPER SHARP.
I CAN'T WAIT
TO ROCK OUT LATER.
Back in the tree fort, Laura says HMM! ALL THIS DRUMMING TALK
IS MAKING ME FEEL VERY DANCY,
YOU KNOW?
Lucas appears in the sky as Dance Dad. He wears glasses and a purple cap.
Dance Dad says DID SOMEONE SAY
"DANCY"?
HA-CHA!
Laura says DANCE DAD!
Dance Dad says IT'S ME!
Laura says OKAY,
THIS IS PERFECT.
WHY DON'T YOU COME ALONG
WITH US ON OUR VIRTUAL TOUR?
Dance Dad says I THOUGHT
YOU'D NEVER ASK.
WHERE DO YOU WANNA GO?
DANCE DAD KNOWS ALL ABOUT
DANCING IN DIFFERENT PLACES.
Laura says HMM. OKAY,
I HAVE JUST THE IDEA.
Dance Dad says OOH! GOOD!
Laura says OKAY?
SO, CLOSE YOUR EYES...
TAKE A DEEP BREATH...
Dance Dad says OKAY.
Laura says START IMAGINING THAT
YOU'RE ACROSS THE OCEAN.
Dance Dad says OOH, YEAH.
Laura says NEAR OR IN
THE MEDITERRANEAN.
Dance Dad says OOH!
(gasping)
I'VE ARRIVED!
Dance Dad appears in a pebbled street near white houses.
Laura says YOU'RE IN GREECE!
Dance Dad says AND IT'S FANTASTIC!
NOW, THE PEOPLE HERE
JUST DANCE ON THE STREETS
AND THEY DANCE SOMETHING
CALLED THE ZORBA.
Laura says OKAY.
Dance Dad says IT'S A GREEK DANCE.
Laura says TEACH US.
Dance Dad says I JUST HAVE TO WAIT
TILL WHEN IT STARTS,
AND THEN DANCE DAD WILL DO
THE MOVE FOR YOU, OKAY?
WATCH CLOSELY.
(lively Greek music playing)
Dance Dad dances and says WOO!
OH, YEAH!
THEN LIKE THIS.
YOU JUST DO THIS.
IT'S GOOD!
WHOA, AND THEN YOU GO...
Dance Dad turns sideways and claps.
He chuckles and says LIKE THAT.
DO YOU WANNA SEE IT AGAIN?
Laura says YES, I DO!
Dance Dad says OKAY, HERE I GO.
WOOHOO!
SEE? THIS IS WHAT
THEY DO HERE.
IT'S JUST INCREDIBLE.
WHOOP, YEP,
IT'S CALLED THE ZORBA.
YOU GOTTA TRY IT.
IT'S AMAZING.
Laura says OKAY, DANCE DAD.
THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR SHARING THE ZORBA
WITH US.
A GREEK DANCE.
PRETTY COOL!
SEE, TVOKIDS,
YOU CAN LEARN ABOUT CULTURES
FROM THE DANCING.
PRETTY AWESOME.
IN THE MEANTIME,
LET'S CHECK OUT
I WONDER...WHY?
An animation shows comets flying past the Earth. A title reads "I wonder why."
On a cell phone video, Felipe says HI, MY NAME IS FELIPE AND...
AND I WONDER
HOW BIG THE UNIVERSE IS.
A caption reads "Damian Pope. Perimeter Scientist."
In his forties with a light blue shirt, Damian says THANKS, FELIPE,
FOR YOUR QUESTION.
THE UNIVERSE
IS EVERYTHING THERE IS.
IT INCLUDES
THE ENTIRE EARTH,
ALL THE PLANETS
IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM,
ALL THE STARS
IN THE MILKY WAY GALAXY,
AND ALL THE MILLIONS
OF GALAXIES BEYOND THAT.
As she speaks, an animation shows the universe.
He continues SO, IT'S PRETTY BIG.
NOW, THE FASTEST WE KNOW
SOMETHING CAN TRAVEL IS LIGHT.
LIGHT GOES SO FAST,
IT CIRCLES THE EQUATOR
SEVEN TIMES EVERY SINGLE SECOND.
WHEN WE LOOK OUT INTO SPACE,
THE FARTHEST OBJECT
WE CAN SEE AWAY
IS SO FAR AWAY,
IT WOULD TAKE LIGHT
45 BILLION YEARS
TO GET THERE
IN EVERY DIRECTION.
SO, THE UNIVERSE
WE CAN SEE
IS 90 BILLION
LIGHT-YEARS ACROSS.
BUT WHAT'S BEYOND THAT?
IS THERE A BRICK WALL?
DOES IT GO ON FOREVER?
IS IT JUST AN EDGE?
WE DON'T KNOW.
IT'S AN UNSOLVED MYSTERY
FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS
OF SCIENTISTS LIKE YOURSELF
TO SOLVE.
In the tree fort, Laura and Dance Dad eat food.
Dance Dad says MM, MM, MM.
Laura says OKAY, CHECK IT OUT,
TVOKIDS.
WE ARE USING
OUR IMAGINATIONS
TO TRAVEL TO OUR FINAL
DESTINATION, WHICH IS INDIA.
THAT'S RIGHT!
WE'RE TRYING OUT
SOME SAMOSAS.
Dance Dad says I KNOW! NOTHIN'
LIKE A GOOD MEAL
AFTER A GOOD DANCE.
AM I RIGHT?
AM I RIGHT?
Laura says TOTALLY!
AND TVOKIDS,
SAMOSAS ARE A REALLY POPULAR
INDIAN STREET FOOD.
WHAT'S IN YOURS,
DANCE DAD?
Dance Dad says WELL, MINE...
IT LOOKS LIKE WE'VE GOT
SOME SPINACH AND SOME CORN!
MMM!
WHAT ABOUT YOU?
Laura says MINE HAS PEAS AND POTATOES
AND IT'S SO GOOD!
Dance Dad says OOOH!
Laura says TVOKIDS...
Dance Dad says WELL, THESE ARE A SUCCESS.
LET ME TELL YOU.
SOME OF THE BEST SAMOSAS
I'VE EVER HAD.
Laura says TOTALLY. TVOKIDS,
YOU CAN TRAVEL AROUND THE WORLD
WITH YOUR IMAGINATION TOO,
WITH MUSIC, DANCING,
AND FOOD.
Dance Dad says MM-HM! THAT'S ALL
FROM DANCE DAD.
SIGNIN' OFF. WOO!
Laura says I'M LAURA.
BE TRUE TO YOU.
Laura waves.
(music plays)
A caption reads "Copyright 2021, The Ontario Educational Communications Authority."
Teacher Steven reappears.
He says WOW. THAT WAS SOME TRIP
WITH ALL KINDS
OF FABULOUS PEOPLE.
NOW, I GOT SOMETHING
IN THE MAIL TODAY.
HMM.
LET'S SEE WHAT IT IS.
He grabs an envelope and says IT IS A LETTER
FROM SOMETHING CALLED
STATISTICS CANADA.
AND WHAT THEY SENT ME
WAS SOMETHING CALLED A CENSUS.
NOW, WHAT A CENSUS IS-
IT ASKS YOU SOME QUESTIONS,
AND IT TRIES TO FIGURE OUT
HOW MANY PEOPLE LIVE
IN A GIVEN AREA.
THEY NEED TO KNOW
THOSE KINDS OF THINGS
BECAUSE WHEN THEY KNOW HOW MANY
PEOPLE LIVE IN A CERTAIN AREA,
THEY CAN PROVIDE
ALL KINDS OF SERVICES
THAT ARE BETTER ABLE
TO SERVE THEM.
NOW, BACK IN THE OLD DAYS,
I USED TO LIVE IN THIS HOMETOWN
CALLED NORTH BAY.
IT WAS A SMALLER TOWN.
THE POPULATION OF NORTH BAY
WAS 50,000 PEOPLE.
NOW, IF WE WERE TO LOOK
AT MY PLACE VALUE CHART,
WE WOULD SEE THAT 50,000
He points to the chart and says IS JUST RIGHT HERE,
IN OUR TEN THOUSANDS COLUMN.
NOW,
THERE ARE FIVE GROUPS
OF TEN THOUSAND PEOPLE.
THAT MAKES 50,000 PEOPLE.
NOW, MY TOWN
WAS PRETTY SMALL,
AND IT WAS A GREAT TOWN,
BUT WHEN I WAS DONE
HIGH SCHOOL,
I DECIDED,
HMM, YOU KNOW WHAT?
I'M GONNA GO
TO A BIGGER COMMUNITY.
SO, I GOT IN MY CAR
AND I DROVE MYSELF DOWN
FIVE HOURS
FROM MY HOMETOWN
TO A PLACE
CALLED LONDON, ONTARIO.
THAT'S WHERE
I WENT TO COLLEGE.
I DIDN'T WEAR GLASSES,
I HAD A FULL HEAD
OF HAIR,
AND MY HEARING
WAS PERFECT.
OH, MY,
HOW I HAVE CHANGED.
SO, MY COLLEGE TOWN
OF LONDON, ONTARIO
IS A LOT BIGGER
IN COMPARISON TO MY HOMETOWN
OF NORTH BAY.
IN FACT, MY COLLEGE TOWN
OF LONDON, ONTARIO
NOW HAS A POPULATION
OF 400,000 PEOPLE!
ACTUALLY,
IT'S A LITTLE MORE THAN THAT.
NOW, IF WE WERE TO LOOK BACK
AT OUR PLACE VALUE CHART,
WE ARE LOOKING NOW
AT OUR HUNDRED THOUSANDS
COLUMN.
THAT'S WHERE WE'D FIND
THE POPULATION OF LONDON.
AND IT'S FOUR GROUPS
OF 100,000 PEOPLE.
THAT'S A LOT OF PEOPLE.
IF I WAS TO TRY AND COMPARE
MY GROUPS OF NORTH BAY
AND LONDON,
AND THOSE TWO GROUPS
OF PEOPLE,
THE POPULATION OF ONE IS
A LOT LARGER THAN THE OTHER.
NOW, IN THE MATH WORLD,
IF WE'RE DESCRIBING
SOMETHING THAT'S BIGGER
THAN SOMETHING
THAT'S SMALLER,
WE USE THE TERM
"GREATER THAN."
IF WE'RE DESCRIBING
SOMETHING THAT IS SMALLER
THAN SOMETHING
THAT IS BIGGER,
WE USE THE TERM
"LESS THAN."
IF I WAS TO COMPARE THE TWO
CITIES THAT I HAVE LIVED IN
OF LONDON AND NORTH BAY,
I WOULD SAY THAT
MY COMMUNITY OF LONDON
WITH 400,000 PEOPLE,
IS GREATER THAN
MY COMMUNITY OF NORTH BAY
THAT HAS 50,000 PEOPLE.
THERE'S ANOTHER COMMUNITY
THAT I AM THINKING OF
IN THE PROVINCE
OF ONTARIO.
IT'S A VERY IMPORTANT
COMMUNITY
FOR THE ENTIRE COUNTRY
OF CANADA.
AND IT STARTS
WITH THE LETTER O.
CAN YOU THINK OF
WHAT THAT PLACE MIGHT BE?
THAT PLACE IS OTTAWA.
AND OTTAWA IS ALWAYS GROWING
AND ALWAYS BUSTLING.
DID YOU KNOW THAT
THE POPULATION OF OTTAWA
IS OVER 900,000 PEOPLE?!
IT'S ALMOST A MILLION.
BUT WE'RE NOT TALKING
ABOUT MILLIONS TODAY.
THE POPULATION OF OTTAWA
IS OVER 900,000 PEOPLE.
AND IF I WAS TO COMPARE
MY COMMUNITY OF LONDON
AND THE COMMUNITY
OF OTTAWA,
I WOULD SAY THAT LONDON
HAS A POPULATION
THAT'S LESS THAN OTTAWA.
OR YOU COULD SWITCH IT
AND GO THE OTHER WAY AROUND,
AND SAY OTTAWA
HAS A POPULATION
OF OVER 900,000 PEOPLE,
THAT'S GREATER THAN
THE COMMUNITY OF LONDON,
WHICH IS JUST OVER 400,000.
NOW, I WONDER HOW MANY PEOPLE
LIVE IN YOUR CITY OR TOWN.
DO YOU KNOW?
WHO DO YOU THINK
YOU COULD ASK?
WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU COULD
FIND THAT INFORMATION?
NOW, JUST AS WE'VE MOVED
AROUND CITIES IN ONTARIO,
LET'S HEAD ON OVER
TO 16 HUDSON
TO WELCOME SOME NEW PEOPLE
TO A NEW CITY.
Logo: TVO Kids.
Logo: Bigbadboo Studios.
(music plays)
In animation, birds flatter over a tall apartment building in the city.
Luc and Amala knock on Lili's door. Sam is with her.
Sam has short black hair and wears blue trousers and a yellow T-shirt with blue rims.
Lili has long black hair and wears big purple-rimmed glasses, yellow trousers, and a pink T-shirt with red rims.
Amala is a little girl with brown hair in a top knot and wears blue short overalls and a yellow T-shirt.
Luc has curly brown hair and wears red pants and a purple sweater.
Kids walk down a staircase and go play in the park.
A song plays that goes WHO'S THAT KNOCKING
AT MY DOOR?
I'LL RACE YOU
TO THE BOTTOM FLOOR
WHO'S THAT PLAYING
HIDE AND SEEK?
COUNT TO 10
AND DON'T YOU PEEK!
LET'S HEAD OUTSIDE AND PLAY
CREATE A BRAND-NEW GAME
OR SEARCH
BENEATH THE STAIRS
FOR HIDDEN TREASURE THERE
16 HUDSON...
THAT'S WHERE
MY FRIENDS ARE WAITING
16 HUDSON...
WON'T YOU COME ALONG?
16 HUDSON...
WHERE EVERYBODY'S WELCOME
16 HUDSON...
THAT'S WHERE I BELONG!
All the kids in the park blow up balloons and the morph into a rainbow over the block.
The name of the show appears in a street sign. It reads "16 Hudson."
A caption reads "Created by Shabnam Rezaei and Aly Jetha."
The name of the episode reads "Welcome."
Ivan fixes a baby cradle as the kids chat around him.
Lili says A NEW BABY?
Sam says I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS NEWS
TO YOU, LILI.
Amala says YEAH, I MEAN,
YOU KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT
EVERYONE IN THE BUILDING.
Sam says INCLUDING WHERE I HID
THE EVIDENCE
FOR THAT THING I DID
THAT TIME.
DID I SAY THAT OUT LOUD?
Lili says YEAH, I'M KIND OF
SURPRISED TOO.
Ivan grunts and says ACTUALLY, IT'S NOT JUST A NEW
BABY HERE AT 16 HUDSON,
IT'S A WHOLE NEW FAMILY.
THE GARMIANIS.
(overlapping excited chatter)
Ivan says THEY COME FROM A COUNTRY
CALLED KURDISTAN.
A MOM, A DAD, KIDS,
AND THEIR GRANDDAD.
(bomb exploding)
BUT THEY'VE BEEN MOVING AROUND
A LOT SINCE THEY LEFT.
THEY HAD TO LEAVE
THEIR COUNTRY
BECAUSE IT WASN'T
SAFE ANYMORE.
SO, THEY'RE COMING HERE
TO BE SAFE WITH US.
The Garmiani family travels in a plane.
He continues THEY'LL BE ARRIVING HERE SOON
FOR A NEW LIFE.
NEW FRIENDS, NEW LANGUAGE,
NEW EVERYTHING.
Sam says WOW.
THAT SOUNDS HARD.
Lili says BUT I'M SO GLAD THEY'RE
COMING HERE.
LET'S GIVE THEM
THE BEST WELCOME EVER.
EVERYBODY CAN HELP.
Lili knocks on the doors of different neighbours.
In a neighbour meeting, Sisi says SO, HOW DO WE MAKE OUR NEW
NEIGHBOURS FEEL AT HOME?
IDEAS?
Lili says OKAY, THE BIG PROBLEM
IS THAT WE DON'T SPEAK
THE SAME LANGUAGE.
Amala says WHICH IS WEIRD.
'CAUSE WE ALREADY GOT
MOST OF THEM COVERED.
LIKE HINDI.
Sam says CANTONESE.
Lili says FARSI.
Sam says OJIBWE.
Lili says FRENCH AND TAGALOG.
BUT NOT THEIRS.
MY MOM SAYS IT'S CALLED SORANI.
Amala says LOOKS LIKE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE
TO COMMUNICATE... BY DRAWING!
LIKE THIS.
Sam says NICE HORSE!
Lili says SAM, IT'S A DUCK.
Amala says PFFT! IT WAS SUPPOSED
TO BE A PIE.
Lili says WELL, THIS IS GOING TO BE HARDER
THAN I THOUGHT.
I MEAN, HOW DO WE EVEN
SAY HELLO?
Sam says WHAT DO WE DO?
SHOULD WE BRING SOMETHING?
Lili says YES, A PRESENT!
THAT'LL GIVE US SOMETHING TO
TALK ABOUT RIGHT AWAY.
Amala says IT HAS TO BE PERFECT.
IT HAS TO BE FUN AND FRIENDLY.
JUST LIKE US.
Lili says EXACTLY. ONLY... WHAT?
Swinging in the playground, Lili says MAYBE WE SHOULD GO
TO THE GIFT STORE.
Sam says NO WAY.
I ALWAYS THINK GIFT STORES
WILL HAVE COOL STUFF INSIDE,
BUT TURNS OUT
TO BE 99 PERCENT SOAP.
SOAP! AS A PRESENT.
Lili says THEN WHAT?
CHOCOLATE? BOOKS?
Sam says I GOT IT! THEY'RE KIDS!
AND THE ABSOLUTELY MOST
IMPORTANT THING
A KID COULD EVER
NEED IS...
Later, Sam says GLOW IN THE DARK
MOUSTACHE GLASSES!
Lili says SERIOUSLY?
Sam says YOU GOT SOMETHING BETTER?
Lili says HUH. I GUESS NOT.
HERE WE GO.
(excited murmuring)
The neighbours wait for the Garmianis.
Amala says I'M HOPE THIS WORKS.
WHERE DID YOU GET
ALL THOSE ANYWAY?
Holding several moustache glasses, Sam says SAM RULE NUMBER 56.
NEVER GET CAUGHT WITHOUT
EMERGENCY BACKUP
GLOW IN THE DARK
MOUSTACHE GLASSES.
Garmiani Dad says HM.
Lili's dad says HELLO.
Garmiani Dad says WELCOME.
One at a time, Lili's parents and the Garmiani mom and dad say HELLO.
(chuckling)
All say HELLO!
(overlapping conversation)
The Garmianis kids take their presents.
A man says SHAKE HANDS?
(chuckling, chattering)
Amala whispers DO WE TAKE OUR SHOES OFF?
Sam says WE ALWAYS DO.
Paul and Bayani accidentally hit their heads as they bend to take their shoes off.
They say OH!
(parents chuckling)
Lili says NOW WHAT?
DO WE SAY SOMETHING?
Sam says HM. I GOT THIS.
They kids wear the moustache glasses.
The Garmiani daughter says WHOA!
The kids have fun.
Lili says GIVE ME ONE OF THOSE!
UGH!
Lili bumps into the wall.
Sam says SEE? KIDS ARE KIDS WHEREVER
THEY'RE FROM.
Lili nods.
(chattering)
Lili says IVAN SAID THERE WERE KIDS
IN THE FAMILY,
A MOM AND DAD,
PLUS A GRANDDAD.
BUT WHERE IS HE?
Sisi says I DON'T KNOW.
Garmianis mom says BAPIR?
Lili says YEAH, THEIR GRANDDAD.
CAN I MEET HIM?
Garmianis mom says PLEASE BABA.
Bapir sits alone in a room next to a chess game.
He says HM?
He turns to look at a window and gesture to leave them.
Lili says HE DIDN'T WANT TO MEET ME.
MAMAN, AND HE
LOOKS SO SAD.
Sisi says IT MUST BE VERY
HARD FOR HIM.
HARDER EVEN THAN FOR THE REST
OF THE FAMILY.
Lili says WHY?
Sisi says THINK ABOUT IT.
HE'S OLDER,
SO HE HAD TO LEAVE A PLACE
HE'S LIVED HIS WHOLE LONG LIFE.
EVERYTHING HE KNOWS.
ALL HIS FRIENDS.
Lili says AND THEN HE CAME
TO A PLACE
WHERE HE CAN'T
EVEN TALK TO ANYBODY
BECAUSE HE ONLY
SPEAKS SORANI.
Sisi says IT'S NOT EASY.
Lili says IT MUST BE SCARY
AND AWFUL.
WE SHOULD HAVE BROUGHT HIM
A SPECIAL GIFT.
I WISH I'D THOUGHT
OF THAT.
Sisi says GIVE HIM TIME, LILI.
EVERYONE HERE IS NICE.
IT WILL BE BETTER ONCE HE GETS
TO KNOW US.
Lili says OKAY.
HE'S HAD A MINUTE.
I'M GOING BACK IN.
(clearing her throat)
BAPIR? I'M LILI.
Bapir says HM...
Lili says HM.
HM?
HM...
WAIT, I KNOW CHESS.
I MEAN, I'M TERRIBLE,
BUT I KNOW HOW TO PLAY.
Lili moves a chess piece.
Bapir says HM.
Bapir starts to play chess.
Lili says HM?
Bapir says HM.
Sisi says LILI! IT'S TIME TO GO.
Lili says OH, REALLY? ALREADY?
Sisi says HEH-HEH. ALREADY?
YOU'VE BEEN AT IT NEARLY
TWO HOURS!
Lili says THANK YOU.
Bapir says SPAS.
Bapir pats Lili's head.
Next, Sisi says SWEETIE, I'M SO PROUD OF YOU.
Lili says WHY?
Sisi says YOU WERE SO GOOD
WITH GRANDDAD.
Lili says I JUST PLAYED A GAME.
IT'S NOT LIKE I GOT HIM
A PRESENT.
Sisi says YES, WELL, SOMETIMES A PRESENT
IS NOT ALWAYS A THING.
SOMETIMES IT IS JUST BEING
THERE.
SOMETIMES THE BEST PRESENT
YOU CAN GIVE SOMEONE
IS YOUR TIME.
Lili says REALLY? WELL THAT'S EASY!
SO, CAN I DO IT AGAIN?
Sisi says WHY NOT?
Lili kisses her mom.
Next, Lili visits Bapir.
Bapir says WELCOME.
Music plays as the end credits roll.
Kids say MY CANADA!
In off, a girl laughs and says SWEET!
(chattering)
In animation, a male teacher in a classroom says CLASS, QUITE PLEASE.
(shushing)
THANK YOU.
TODAY, WE'RE GOING
TO LEARN
ABOUT THE CAPITAL CITIES
OF CANADA.
IF YOU LOOK AT THE CHALK BOARD,
YOU'LL SEE A MAP OF CANADA.
THE DOTS ON THIS MAP REPRESENT
THE CAPITAL CITIES.
WOW! NOW THAT
IS A LOT OF DOTS.
MAYBE WE SHOULD LEARN
SOMETHING ELSE TODAY.
DO YOU GUYS KNOW ANY GOOD
KNOCK KNOCK JOKES?
CAN YOU NAME THE CAPITAL
CITIES OF CANADA?
Girl 1 says OTTAWA.
Boy 1 says VICTORIA.
Girl 2 says EDMONTON.
Girl 3 says REGINA.
Boy 2 says WINNIPEG.
Girl 4 says TORONTO.
Girl 5 says QUEBEC CITY.
Girl 6 says FREDERICTON
Boy 3 says HALIFAX.
Girl 5 says CHARLOTTETOWN.
Boy 4 says ST. JOHN'S.
Girl 7 says YELLOWKNIFE.
Girl 8 says WHITEHORSE.
Boy 1 says IQALUIT.
The Teacher says GREAT JOB, CLASS.
NOW TO HELP US MEMORIZE
ALL THE CAPITALS
OF THE PROVINCES AND
TERRITORIES OF CANADA,
WHY DON'T WE WATCH
THIS VIDEO.
An animated female robot sings a song with a red map of Canada behind her.
The song says CAPITAL CITIES
WHAT ARE THE CAPITAL CITIES?
(CITIES)
PLEASE HELP ME
CAPITAL CITIES
WHAT ARE THE CAPITAL CITIES?
(CITIES)
PLEASE HELP ME
THE CAPITAL OF BRITISH
COLUMBIA IS VICTORIA
WE JUST STARTED HERE AND NOW
THERE IS MORE FOR YA
MOVING RIGHT ALONG, TO THE
CAPITALS OF THE PRAIRIES
EDMONTON, REGINA,
WINNIPEG
AND THERE IS STILL MORE TO DO,
COME ON LET'S GO
THE CAPITAL OF ONTARIO
IS TORONTO
IN QUEBEC HERE THE CAPITAL
IS EASY TO REMEMBER
BECAUSE WE CALL IT
QUEBEC CITY
TO THE MARITIME CAPITALS
WE ARE MOVING ON
FREDERICTON, HALIFAX,
CHARLOTTETOWN
AND THEN IN NEWFOUNDLAND
THERE'S ST. JOHN'S.
THREE CAPITALS IN
THE TERRITORIES
AND THEN THAT'S IT
WHITEHORSE, YELLOWKNIFE
AND IQALUIT
WE'RE LEARNING LOTS,
BUT WE CAN'T FORGET
THE LAST THING,
THERE IS ONE MORE STEP
IN THIS GREAT COUNTRY,
HIP-HIP-HURRAH
THE CAPITAL OF CANADA
IS OTTAWA
THE CAPITAL OF CANADA
IS OTTAWA
THE CAPITAL OF CANADA
IS OTTAWA.
The song ends.
(bell ringing)
The Teacher says LOOKS LIKE CLASS
IS OVER.
BEFORE YOU GO,
ONE LAST JOKE.
WHAT DID THE NECKTIE SAY
TO THE HAT?
YOU GO ON "AHEAD,"
I'LL JUST HANG AROUND!
(giggling)
NO? NOTHING?
CLASS DISMISSED.
Steven says SO, NOW, I'D LIKE YOU TO THINK
ABOUT YOUR NEXT ROAD TRIP.
FOR ME IT'S BEEN A WHILE
SINCE I'VE BEEN ON A ROAD TRIP,
BUT I LOVE TO GO ON THEM WITH
MY BROTHER.
ONE OF THE THINGS
THAT I LOVE TO DO,
AND HOPE YOU WILL DO NEXT
TIME YOU GO ON YOUR ROAD TRIP,
IS TAKE A LOOK AT
THE SIGNS AS YOU DRIVE
IN AND OUT OF NEW COMMUNITIES.
THE SIGNS USUALLY
WILL HAVE A "WELCOME TO..."
AND THEY WILL HAVE
THE POPULATION OF THAT CITY.
TAKE A GOOD LOOK
AT THAT POPULATION
AND TRY AND COMPARE IT
TO THE POPULATION
OF WHERE YOU LIVE.
YOU'LL PROBABLY HAVE
A VERY DIFFICULT TIME
FINDING A POPULATION
THAT'S IN THE ONES.
I ALSO THINK IT MIGHT BE
CHALLENGING TO FIND A POPULATION
THAT'S IN THE TENS.
THAT WOULDN'T BE
THAT MANY PEOPLE.
YOU MIGHT FIND
A POPULATION IN A CITY
THAT'S IN THE HUNDREDS.
THERE WON'T BE TOO MANY,
BUT THERE MIGHT BE A FEW.
I BET YOU'LL FIND
MANY CITIES THAT HAVE
POPULATIONS IN THE THOUSANDS,
BUT A LOT OF TIMES, THEY MIGHT
BE KIND OF A LITTLE BIT
FURTHER AWAY FROM LARGER CITIES
OR SMALL ONES AS WELL.
NOW, HERE'S THE REAL ONE
WE'RE GOING TO TRY AND COMPARE.
TAKE A GOOD LOOK
AND SEE IF YOU CAN FIND
CITIES ON YOUR ROAD TRIP
THAT HAVE POPULATIONS
IN THE THOUSANDS.
I BET YOU'LL FIND PLENTY
IN THE TEN-THOUSANDS.
YOU MIGHT FIND SOME CITIES
THAT HAVE TALL, TALL BUILDINGS,
THAT HAVE POPULATIONS
IN THE HUNDRED THOUSANDS.
AND TAKE YOUR POPULATION,
AND COMPARE IT TO THE CITIES
THAT YOU PASS BY.
IT MIGHT BE A FUN GAME TO PLAY
AS YOU DRIVE THROUGH.
IS YOUR CITY GREATER THAN,
OR IS IT LESS THAN?
YOU'LL HAVE TO
CHECK AND FIND OUT
AS YOU DRIVE ALONG
YOUR MERRY WAY.
(music plays)
An animated blue sign that reads "Fish Talk with Leo" falls into the sea.
Leo is an animated blue and orange catfish. She swims near two tablets at the bottom of a lake.
Leo says IT'S
FISH TALK WITH LEO.
THAT'S RIGHT. IT'S ME, LEO.
INTERVIEWING THE EXPERTS
AND TAKING YOU BEHIND THE SCENES
OF ALL THE AMAZING WORK
THAT'S HAPPENING
AT PARKS CANADA.
YOU MIGHT THINK IT'S HARD
KEEPING TRACK OF SALMON,
AND YOU'D BE RIGHT.
An underwater camera shows salmon swimming.
She continues SALMON ARE TRAVELLERS.
THEY LIVE IN BOTH
THE OCEANS AND THE RIVERS,
AND IT'S ESPECIALLY
IMPORTANT TO KEEP TRACK OF
THIS ENDANGERED POPULATION
OF THE INNER BAY OF FUNDY
ATLANTIC SALMON.
BUT IT SEEMS RESEARCHERS
BECKY AND KURT
HAVE FOUND A GREAT WAY
OF KEEPING TRACK OF
THIS SPECIAL SALMON POPULATION.
A caption reads "Fundy National Park, New Brunswick."
Leo says SO, I'VE HEARD THIS RUMOUR
THAT CABLE HAS SOME MAGIC WAY
OF HELPING THE SALMON.
WHAT THE HECK IS IT?
The caption changes to "Kurt Samways. University of New Brunswick. Researcher."
By a lake wearing a life jacket, Kurt says IT'S A PIT ANTENNA ARRAY.
SO, IT'S A WAY FOR US
TO DETECT SALMON
THAT ARE ENTERING
AND LEAVING THE RIVER.
Leo says NOW, THAT'S A MOUTHFUL.
OKAY.
The caption changes to "Passive Integrated Transponder."
She continues IN PLAIN FISH TERMS,
A PIT TAG IS A TYPE
OF TRACKING DEVICE
THAT IS PUT INTO A FISH,
AND IN THIS CASE,
THE VERY SPECIAL
ENDANGERED POPULATION
OF THE INNER BAY OF FUNDY
ATLANTIC SALMON.
The caption changes to "Becky Graham. Parks Canada. Ecologist."
In her forties with wavy blond hair, Becky says THIS IS A PIT TAG.
IT DOESN'T HAVE A BATTERY,
SO IT NEVER RUNS OUT OF ENERGY.
AND EVERY PIT TAG
HAS A UNIQUE NUMBER.
SO, THAT WAY, IF THIS FISH,
AFTER WE TAG IT,
WERE TO COME BACK
THREE YEARS FROM NOW,
WE WOULD KNOW WHO IT WAS
AND THE LAST TIME
THAT WE SAW IT,
AND WE'D HAVE ALL THAT
INFORMATION TO KEEP TRACK.
Leo says SO, WHAT DOES A PIT TAG
HAVE TO DO WITH THE ARRAY?
Becky says SO, THERE'S A SMALL
COPPER COIL INSIDE THE TAG.
AND WHEN IT COMES THROUGH
THIS ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD,
IT GIVES THE TAG ENOUGH ENERGY
TO PING OUT ITS NUMBER.
AND WHAT THE READER DOES IS
IT DETECTS THAT PING
AND RECORDS IT FOR US.
AND SO, SINCE EACH TAG
HAS A UNIQUE NUMBER,
THAT LETS US KNOW
WHICH FISH ARE COMING
AND GOING THROUGH THE RIVER.
Leo says HOLD YOUR FINS.
SO, ARE YOU SAYING
THAT WIRE BEHIND TELLS YOU
ABOUT THE SALMON IN THE RIVER?
Becky says YEAH. IT'S LIKE IF YOU BOUGHT
AN APPLE AT THE GROCERY STORE
AND IT HAD A STICKER ON IT.
AND YOU SCAN IT,
AND THEN THE NUMBER COMES UP
ON THE SCREEN AND IT SHOWS
THAT YOU BOUGHT AN APPLE.
IT'S JUST LIKE THAT.
WHEN A FISH SWIMS THROUGH,
IT RECORDS THE NUMBER
AND WE CAN SEE
WHO HAS BEEN THERE.
Leo says BUT HOW DO YOU GET
ALL THAT INFORMATION
OUT OF THAT ITTY-BITTY
WIRE BEHIND YOU?
Kurt says THIS ANTENNA WIRE NOW
CAN DETECT THAT SIGNAL.
IT TRAVELS THROUGH THESE CABLES,
ALL THE WAY UP THE HILL TO
THE TOP WHERE OUR READER IS,
AND IT'S STORED ON A LITTLE
MEMORY CARD IN THAT READER,
SO THEN WE COME
WITH OUR COMPUTER,
WE CAN PLUG IT IN.
WE CAN DOWNLOAD IT.
AND THAT'S WHEN WE GET
ALL THAT INFORMATION.
Leo says WOW. SO, DOES THAT MEAN
YOU NEVER HAVE TO BOTHER
THE SALMON AGAIN?
Kurt says THAT'S THE REALLY
NICE THING ABOUT IT.
SO, YOU ONLY HAVE TO
HANDLE THE FISH ONCE.
AND THEN AFTER THAT,
IT'S ON ITS OWN,
AND THIS IS ALL...
IT'S DETECTED PASSIVELY,
WHICH IS THE MAIN THING.
Leo says SO, WHAT HAS THE ARRAY HELPED
YOU LEARN ABOUT THE SALMON?
Kurt says SO, WE'VE LEARNED
WHEN THEY'RE RETURNING,
HOW EARLY THEY RETURN.
WE ALSO KNOW HOW LONG
THEY STAY IN THE RIVER.
WHEN THEY SPAWN,
WHEN THEY LEAVE.
WE CAN ALSO LEARN WHAT KIND
OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
ARE FAVOURABLE FOR SALMON
TO ENTER AND LEAVE THE RIVER.
SO, WE CAN GET ALL
KINDS OF REALLY GREAT,
POPULATION-LEVEL INFORMATION
THAT YOU WOULDN'T BE ABLE
TO GET WITH OTHER METHODS
OF TRACKING FISH.
Leo says SO, IT'S LIKE
SPYING ON THE FISH,
BUT IN A FRIENDLY WAY.
Becky says AND ANOTHER THING WE DO
IN THIS RIVER QUITE A LOT.
ALL OF THOSE TAGS,
WHEN WE PUT THEM IN THE FISH,
WE ALSO TOOK A LITTLE BIT OF
A TISSUE SAMPLE.
SO, USUALLY WE TAKE
JUST A LITTLE CLIP,
ABOUT THE SIZE OF
THE TIP OF MY FINGERNAIL,
OFF THE FISH'S TAIL FIN.
WITH THAT, WE'RE ABLE TO GET
ALL OF THE GENETIC INFORMATION
TO KNOW WHO THAT
FISH'S PARENTS WERE,
WHICH FAMILY THEY BELONG TO.
AND ALL OF THAT
TELLS US WHICH FISH
ARE BEING MOST
SUCCESSFUL IN THIS KIND OF
CHANGING ENVIRONMENT.
Leo says SO, YOU'RE NOT JUST
FOLLOWING ONE SALMON,
BUT IT'S WHOLE FAMILY?
FIN-CREDIBLE!
Becky says THIS POPULATION IS
CRITICALLY ENDANGERED,
AND HAS BEEN RECOGNIZED
AS SUCH SINCE 2003.
SO, THERE'S A LOT OF WORK
BY PARKS CANADA,
OUR PARTNERS LIKE UNB
AND LOTS OF OTHER GROUPS
TO TRY TO HELP SUPPORT
THIS POPULATION.
AND ONE OF THE BEST
WAYS WE CAN DO THAT
IS BY UNDERSTANDING
WHAT THEIR BEHAVIOUR IS,
SO WE KNOW HOW TO PROTECT THEM
AND WHEN TO PROTECT THEM.
Leo says WHOA. TRYING TO HELP
AN ENDANGERED SPECIES
SOUNDS LIKE A LOT OF WORK.
Becky says PROBLEMS LIKE THIS,
THINGS THAT ARE TRICKY
TO SOLVE AND HAVE A LOT
OF DIFFERENT PIECES,
TAKES A LOT OF PEOPLE WORKING
TOGETHER TO FIGURE THEM OUT.
EXPERTS LIKE KURT.
VISITORS WHO TELL US WHEN
THEY SEE SALMON IN THE RIVERS.
WITHOUT EVERYBODY'S HELP,
WE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO DO
THE WORK THAT WE'RE DOING
TO TRY TO PROTECT
OUR AQUATIC FRIENDS HERE
IN FUNDY NATIONAL PARK.
Leo says TEAMWORK MAKES FOR DREAM WORK.
IF YOU'RE VISITING
THE BAY OF FUNDY NATIONAL PARK,
MAKE SURE YOU LET BECKY
AND HER TEAM KNOW IF YOU SEE
ONE OF THESE BEAUTIES
IN THE RIVER.
GO, TEAM SALMON!
(theme music plays)
The end credits roll.

Teacher Steven says BOY, THAT WAS A LOT
OF FISH ON THE MOVE,
AND SPEAKING OF MOVE,
WE'RE GOING TO BE
MOVING ON AS WELL.
HOWEVER, BEFORE WE DO SO,
LET'S LOOK ON MORE TIME
AT OUR PLACE VALUE CHART.
AS A REMINDER, THE SMALLER
NUMBERS START ON THIS END,
AND THEY WORK THEIR WAY ALONG
TO LARGE NUMBERS AT THIS END.
WE DIDN'T REALLY TALK ABOUT
THIS GUY RIGHT HERE TODAY,
BUT WE WILL ANOTHER TIME.
HE'S A FRIEND OF OURS
THAT WE CALL THE DECIMAL.
WE ALSO HAVE TWO OTHER
GROUPS CALLED THE TENTHS
AND THE HUNDREDTHS.
SO, AS I SAID, WE'LL TALK
ABOUT THAT ANOTHER TIME.
SO, I WOULD LOVE TO SAY
THANK YOU, THANK YOU
FROM TEACHER STEVEN
FOR JOINING US ON
THE POWER HOUR TODAY
AND WE'LL SEE YOU
AGAIN NEXT TIME.
A slate reads "Bonus Material."
(music plays)
Agent Olive is around 10, has long straight brown hair in a ponytail and wears a white shirt, a red tie and a blue blazer with an Odd Squad badge.
She says MY NAME IS AGENT OLIVE.
THIS IS MY PARTNER, AGENT OTTO.
Agent Otto is around 11, with short straight brown hair with bangs and wears a white shirt, red tie, blue blazer and an Odd Squad badge.
Olive says THIS ISN'T ANYTHING.
A blank picture appears.
Olive says BUT BACK TO OTTO AND ME.
WE WORK FOR AN ORGANIZATION
RUN BY KIDS
THAT INVESTIGATES ANYTHING
STRANGE, WEIRD,
AND, ESPECIALLY, ODD.
Pictures from the squad's odd missions show an agent shaking hands with a giraffe agent and the team dealing with a one-eyed monster with octopus tentacles.
Agent Olive says OUR JOB
IS TO PUT THINGS RIGHT AGAIN.
WHO DO WE WORK FOR?
WE WORK FOR ODD SQUAD.
The name of the show appears inside a badge. It reads "Odd Squad."
The name of the episode appears on a file. It reads "The trouble with centigurps."
Olive and Otto talk to a man on the street who has a black cloud over his head.
The man says THE WEIRD THING IS,
IS I'M REALLY HAPPY!
Otto says NOT TO WORRY, SIR.
WE GOT THIS.
Otto takes out a gadget and turns the cloud into a sun.
The man says OH! THANK YOU, ODD SQUAD!
Olive says HAVE A GOOD DAY, SIR.
LET'S GO.
The sun says I'M SLAPPY THE SUN,
AND I'LL ALWAYS
BE WITH YOU!
The man says WHAT?
The sun sings SLAPPY AND DEREK,
WE'RE BEST FRIENDS
SLAPPY AND DEREK,
FRIENDSHIP NEVER ENDS
The man says ODD SQUAD!
I CAN'T LIVE LIKE THIS!
The sun says HI, DEREK, I'M SLAPPY! I'M
YOUR NEW BEST FRIEND! HURRAY!
Derek says LOVELY.
The sun says I LOVE YOU!
Derek YEAH, GREAT!
The sun says SLAPPY AND DEREK
Olive and Otto walk in Miss O's office.
Otto says YOU WANTED TO SEE US, MS. O?
Miss O says YES.
SOMETHING VERY ODD HAS HAPPENED.
A GIANT GOLDFISH
IS ATTACKING THE HARBOUR.
OLIVE, ACTIVATE YOUR SUIT
FOR WATER TRAVEL.
Olive says ON IT, MS. O.
She pulls out two straps and the uniform balloons up.
Otto says SO THAT'S WHAT
THESE THINGS DO!
COOL...
Otto watches as Olive waddles out of the office.
Miss O says OTTO!
Otto says OH! YEAH, MS. O.
WHAT HAVE YOU GOT FOR ME?
Miss O gives him a gadget and says TAKE THIS DOWN TO STORAGE.
Otto says BUT THAT'S NOT FAIR...
Miss O says AND WHATEVER YOU DO,
DON'T OPEN IT.
As he takes it downstairs, Otto sighs and says SO UNFAIR.
STICK THE NEW GUY WITH
ALL THE BORING JOBS.
(warbling)
He puts his ear closer to the gadget and says WHAT WAS THAT?
(tinkling)
In a thought bubble, Miss O says WHATEVER YOU DO,
DON'T OPEN IT.
Otto says BUT I WANT TO!
Miss O says DON'T.
Otto says COME ON, JUST A LITTLE PEEK.
Miss O says ENH, GO AHEAD.
I'M JUST A DREAM, ANYWAY.
He opens the gadget and finds a furry creature inside.
He says AWW!
SO CUTE!
Oscar comes along and says CLOSE THAT BOX!
Otto says WHY?
Oscar says IT'S A CENTIGURP! IF
IT'S EXPOSED TO LIGHT TOO LONG,
THAT ONE LITTLE GUY
WILL BECOME...
A hundred centigurp pop out of the gadget and start bouncing around.
Oscar says 100 LITTLE GUYS!
Otto says OH, NO!
Oscar says WE HAVE TO TELL MS. O.
Otto says NO! PLEASE, DON'T!
IF MS. O FINDS OUT
I MESSED THIS UP,
SHE'LL NEVER LET ME
BATTLE A GOLDFISH.
HAVEN'T YOU EVER
MADE A MISTAKE?
Oscar says NOT...
He remembers having a perm and looking into a mirror.
He says OH, YEAH. THAT HAIRCUT
WAS A PRETTY BIG MISTAKE.
I'LL HELP YOU FIND
THE CENTIGURPS.
Otto says THANK YOU. SO, WHAT DO WE DO?
Oscar says WE HAVE TO LOOK FOR SPHERES.
CENTIGURPS LOVE SPHERES. YOU
KNOW, ROUND, BALL-SHAPED
LITTLE OBJECTS?
Otto says YEAH. I KNOW WHERE
TO GO. FOLLOW ME.
Oscar says OKAY!
Inside a ball pit, Oscar says WHERE DID THEY GO? STAY THERE!
Otto says GOT ANOTHER ONE!
Oscar says COME ON, BACK HERE!
Otto says I GOT 4 MORE.
Oscar says THANK YOU.
Back at the lab, Otto says OKAY, SUCK THEM BACK INTO ONE.
Oscar says THAT'S NOT HOW CENTIGURPS
WORK. WE NEED ALL 100.
Otto says HOW MANY DO WE HAVE?
Oscar says UH, 1, 2, 3...
Otto says 1, 2... AH!
Oscar says OR WAS THAT 3?
Otto says 1, 2...
Oscar says TOO MANY! I CAN'T COUNT!
HANG ON!
Oscar leaves the lab and locks Otto in with the creatures.
Otto says NO! WHERE ARE YOU GOING? DON'T
LEAVE ME WITH THESE THINGS!
Oscar says 2, 3...
Otto says AHH!
Oscar says THIS BOX WILL HOLD
10 CENTIGURPS EACH.
IF WE JUST FILL THE BOX,
WE WON'T HAVE TO COUNT,
BECAUSE WE'LL KNOW IT'S 10!
Otto says I CAN'T HEAR WHAT YOU'RE
SAYING, BUT OKAY!
Later, they put the creatures in the boxes.
Oscar says SO WE HAVE 10 IN EACH BOX.
Otto says THAT MEANS WE HAVE
10, 20 30, 40, 50.
50 CENTIGURPS.
Oscar says RIGHT, AND IF WE
STARTED WITH 100
AND NOW WE HAVE 50...
WE HAVE 50 LEFT TO GO.
WE'RE HALFWAY DONE!
Otto says BUT WHERE ARE WE GONNA FIND
OTHER SPHERES?
Oscar says I TEND TO THINK BETTER
WITH GUM. HMM.
Otto says YOU DO!
Oscar says I DO? ...I DO! HEH...
Otto says YOU DO!
Oscar says UH, WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT?
Otto says THAT GUMBALL IS A SPHERE.
WHERE DID YOU GET IT?
Oscar says THERE'S THIS REALLY GOOD
GUMBALL MACHINE IN BELGIUM.
THERE'S ALSO ONE OVER THERE.
They run to the gumball machine and find it filled with centigurps.
Otto says DO YOU HAVE ANY QUARTERS?
Oscar says ALWAYS, HEH!
Miss O comes along and says OSCAR!
Oscar says AHH! UH, MS. O!
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
He steps in front of the gumball machine to cover it.
Miss O says GETTING SOME GUM...
Oscar says UH... HOW ABOUT
SOME CHOCOLATE?
IT'S, UH, WARM AND MELTY
FROM MY POCKET!
Miss O says I WILL SAY THIS: YOU KNOW
HOW I LIKE MY CHOCOLATE.
Miss O goes back to her office.
Oscar says PHEW!
Otto says WELL, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING
FOR? COME HELP ME OUT!
Oscar says SO, WE RAN OUT
OF LARGER BOXES.
Otto says HOW MANY DO WE HAVE NOW?
Oscar says THESE BOXES HOLD 5
CENTIGURPS EACH.
Otto says SO WE COUNT BY FIVES.
Oscar says RIGHT.
SO WE HAVE 50, AND THEN WE COUNT
55, 60,
65, 70, 75, 80.
Otto says COME ON... AW!
STILL NOT 100.
Oscar says THERE'S STILL
SOME MORE OUT THERE.
Otto says WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO DO A LOT
MORE RUNNING AROUND, AREN'T WE?
Oscar says OH, YEAH.
Otto says LET'S GO.
Otto and Oscar go around catching creatures attached to different spheres like globes, stretching balls, and an agent's afro.
Oscar unplugs a huge machine.
Otto says THIS WHOLE THING'S
POWERED BY A CANTALOUPE?
Oscar says OH, YEAH.
(machinery powering up)
As they walk past Agent Orchid's office, they see her playing with a creature.
Oscar says AGENT ORCHID,
WE NEED THAT CENTIGURP,
O'Donahue says THIS IS NOT A CENTIGURP,
THIS IS SHERMAN, AND HE'S MINE.
Otto says NO, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.
Agent Orchid says NO, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!
I'M NOT GIVING HIM TO YOU.
Oscar says WHAT IF WE GAVE YOU
SOMETHING FOR IT?
LIKE THIS YO-YO!
LOOK AT ALL THE TRICKS
THAT YOU CAN DO.
Agent Orchid says I FIND THAT
VERY UNDERWHELMING.
Otto says WHAT DO YOU WANT
FOR THE CENTIGURP?
Agent Orchid says WELL, IF YOU ASKED ME THAT
BEFORE I MET SHERMAN,
I WOULD HAVE TOLD YOU
I NEEDED EVERYTHING.
BUT NOW, I DON'T NEED A THING.
Otto says LOOK. AGENT ORCHID,
I KNOW THIS IS A BIT HARD
FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND,
BUT SHERMAN'S ACTUALLY JUST ONE
OUT OF THE OTHER 100 SHERMANS.
AND I BET HIS BROTHERS AND
SISTERS MISS HIM A WHOLE LOT
AND WISH THEY COULD SEE HIM.
Oscar says HOW ABOUT SOME CASH?
Oscar shows her a briefcase full of cash.
Agent Orchid says OOH!
DEAL!
(Sherman squeaking)
Oscar says LET'S GO.
Otto says THAT WORKS, TOO.
Oscar says OKAY. SO WE HAD 80, AND THEN
WE PUT SOME MORE INTO
THESE BOXES.
Otto says THESE HOLD 2 EACH,
SO I'M JUST COUNTING BY TWOS.
82, 84, 86, 88, 90,
92, 94, 96, 98.
They both say AHH!
Oscar says STILL TWO CENTIGURPS!
Otto says WHERE? WE LOOKED EVERYWHERE!
Oscar says OH, NO!
Otto says WHAT... WHAT?
Oscar says I JUST REMEMBERED WHAT MS. O
BROUGHT FOR LUNCH TODAY!
Otto says WHAT?
Oscar says SPAGHETTI AND...MEATBALLS!
Otto says HMM. THAT SOUNDS DELICIOUS.
Oscar says DON'T YOU GET IT, MAN?
MEATBALLS ARE SPHERES!
I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
Otto says I'LL JUST STAY HERE, THEN!
In her office, Miss O gets ready for lunch.
She leaves it on the table and says OH, JUICE!
Oscar says MADE IT!
Oscar grabs her lunch with the two missing centigurps in it.
Miss O says OSCAR?
Oscar tosses it back and says UH, YEAH, MS. O, WHAT'S UP?
Miss O says DID YOU JUST
THROW MY LUNCH AWAY?
Oscar says I MAKE MISTAKES SOMETIMES...
REMEMBER THAT HAIRCUT?
Miss O says ENOUGH SAID.
Oscar gets out of the office and says DID YOU GET THEM?
Otto says I GOT ONE,
BUT THE OTHER ONE GOT AWAY!
(SQUEAKING FRANTICALLY)
They spot it running through a corridor and say THERE IT IS!
Oscar says IF ONLY WE HAD A SPHERE
TO GET ITS ATTENTION!
Otto gives him the other centigurp and says WE DO.
He pulls the straps on his uniform and it balloons up.
The centigurp screams as he sees the giant sphere.
Otto says COME ON!
COME ON LITTLE CENTIGURP!
OVER HERE! COME ON!
COME ON LITTLE CENTIGURP!
They lure the centigurp into the lab and lock it.
Otto says WE DID IT!
Oscar says YEAH!
Otto dances and says AWESOME, AWESOME... BOOM!
Otto says CHEST BUMP!
Oscar says NO, NO! NO, NO...
Otto says OKAY...
Oscar says WOULD YOU LIKE
TO DO THE HONOURS?
He pushes a button and all the centigurps go back into being one.
Oscar says YOU KNOW, THIS WAS ACTUALLY
ONE OF MY EASIER DAYS.
Now Otto takes the box with the centigurp to storage.
Octavia says HI, OTTO.
Otto says HEY, OCTAVIA...
IS THIS THE STORAGE ROOM?
Octavia says YUP.
Otto says WHERE DO YOU STORE EVERYTHING?
Octavia says IT'S COMPLICATED.
Otto says ANYWAYS, HERE'S
THE CENTIGURP BOX.
Octavia says THANKS.
Otto says NO PROBLEM.
Olive says MS. O HAD YOU DELIVER
A CENTIGURP BOX?
Otto says YEAH. WHY?
Olive says I WAS HERE FOR YEARS AND YEARS
BEFORE MS. O GAVE ME
A JOB LIKE THAT.
SHE MUST REALLY TRUST YOU.
Otto says COOL.
Octavia opens the box and says AWW!
A hundred centigurps go out bouncing around again.
(squeaking)
Octavia says WAIT, NO, COME BACK HERE!
WAIT, NO, THAT'S NOT GOOD!
THAT'S NOT GOOD! HELP!
Music plays as the opening of the Odd Squad Odd Report plays.
Oscar stands next to a wall screen and says GREETINGS, AGENTS. I'M OSCAR,
WITH TODAY'S
ODD REPORT.
O'CONNOR?
A voice says COMIN' AT YA!
Oscar says AS YOU CAN SEE, WE HAVE
A SALSA FRONT MOVING IN
FROM THIS WAY. TOO BAD
IT'S NOT A LITTLE LOWER,
BECAUSE IT'S GONNA MISS THE
GIANT TORTILLA CHIPS DOWN HERE.
THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN DELICIOUS.
ALSO, WE KNOW IT'S GOING TO BE
RAINING CATS AND DOGS.
THE GOOD NEWS IS, WE KNOW
EXACTLY HOW MANY ANIMALS
ARE COMING OUR WAY.
O'CONNOR, IF YOU COULD ZOOM IN?
O'Connor says ZOOMIN' IN!
Oscar says PERFECT! SO, EACH ONE OF
THESE BIG DOG CLOUDS
RAIN EXACTLY 10 DOGS EACH.
SO, INSTEAD OF HAVING TO COUNT
EVERY INDIVIDUAL BIG DOG,
WE CAN JUST COUNT
THE CLOUDS BY 10.
10...WOOF! 20...WOOF! 30...WOOF!...BIG DOGS.
O'Connor says YEAH!
Oscar says AND THE SMALL DOG CLOUDS RAIN
EXACTLY 5 DOGS EACH, SO WE
CAN COUNT BY FIVES.
5...WOOF! 10...WOOF!
15...WOOF! 20...WOOF!...SMALL DOGS.
O'Connor says YEAH!
Oscar says AND THE CAT CLOUDS RAIN 2 CATS
EACH, SO WE COUNT BY TWOS.
2...MEOW! 4...MEOW!
6...MEOW! 8...PURR!
ROWR...
O'Connor says YEAH, CATS!
Oscar says SO TO SUM IT ALL UP, WE'RE
ASKING ALL AVAILABLE AGENTS
TO COME TO THIS SPOT WITH YOUR
DOG AND CAT CATCHINATORS
TO CATCH THE 30 BIG DOGS...WOOF!
20 SMALL DOGS...WOOF!
AND 8 CATS...MEOW!
O'Connor says WRAP IT UP!
Oscar says ALSO, IF ANY AGENTS
WOULD LIKE TO TAKE
ANY OF THESE ANIMALS HOME
AS PETS, THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
SEE, I WOULD, BUT I'VE
STILL GOT MY HANDS FULL
FROM LAST WEEK'S BUNNY STORM...
I NAMED THEM ALL OSCAR JR.
THAT ONE'S MY FAVOURITE.
In her office, Miss O says HAS SOMETHING ODD HAPPENED TO
YOU AT HOME OR IN YOUR SCHOOL?
HAVE YOU TURNED INVISIBLE OR
BEGUN WALKING ON THE CEILING?
ARE THINGS REPEATING
THEMSELVES OVER AND OVER AGAIN?
ARE THINGS REPEATING
THEMSELVES OVER AND OVER AGAIN?
IF SO, ODD SQUAD CAN HELP.
JUST GO TO THE WEBSITE.
A caption reads "TVOKIDS.COM."
Theme music plays as the end credits roll.
A final slate reads "TVO Kids would like to thank all the teachers involved in the Power Hour of Learning as they continue to teach the children of Ontario from their homes."
The caption changes to "Copyright 2021. The Ontario Educational Communications Authority."
A Female Announcer says WELCOME TO
TVOKIDS
POWER HOUR OF LEARNING.
TODAY'S JUNIOR LESSON:
TEN THOUSAND, HUNDRED
THOUSAND.
Steven is in his mid-forties, with a beard and bald. He wears black-rimmed glasses, earphones and a blue shirt.
A caption reads "Junior 4-6. Teacher Steven." Steven sits at a desk near a colourful Value Chart that reads "Hundred Thousands, Ten Thousands, Thousands, Hundreds, Tens, Ones, Tenths, Hundredths."
Steven says HELLO, EVERYBODY.
MY NAME IS TEACHER STEVEN
AND THANK YOU FOR JOINING ME
AT
TVOKIDS POWER
HOUR OF LEARNING.
YOU'VE MADE A VERY GOOD DECISION
JOINING ME TODAY.
OF ALL THE DIFFERENT PLACES
THAT YOU COULD BE,
YOU DECIDED YOU'D JOIN ME
HERE TODAY, SO THANK YOU.
SO, TODAY WE'RE GONNA BE TALKING
ABOUT TWO BIG NUMBERS.
TWO REALLY BIG NUMBERS.
IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND
THOSE NUMBERS,
WE'RE GONNA NEED TO LOOK AT
MY PLACE VALUE CHART RIGHT HERE.
THE NUMBERS THAT
WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT
APPEAR CLOSER TO THE END
OF OUR PLACE VALUE CHART.
AND IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND
THOSE NUMBERS,
WE'RE GONNA GO BACK
TO THE BEGINNING OF MY CHART.
NOW, WE'RE GONNA START
RIGHT HERE WITH THE ONES.
AND WE'RE JUST TALKING
ABOUT A GROUP OF ONES,
SINGLE ITEMS.
IT COULD BE A HANDFUL
OF JELLYBEANS.
IT COULD BE THIS
GLUE STICK RIGHT HERE.
THE ONES.
NOW, LET'S LOOK AT OUR TENS,
RIGHT HERE.
AND IT COULD BE
TEN ITEMS,
OR TEN GROUPS OF ITEMS.
IT COULD BE TEN PENCILS.
IT COULD BE TWO GROUPS
OF TEN PENCILS.
TENS!
THEN WE'VE GOT
OUR HUNDREDS.
A HUNDRED ITEMS.
A HUNDRED THINGS.
IT COULD BE 100 PAGES
IN THIS BOOK.
THIS BOOK
HAS OVER 300 PAGES,
WHICH WOULD BE
THREE GROUPS OF 100.
THEN WE'VE GOT
OUR THOUSANDS.
NOW, WHEN WE LOOK
AT THOUSANDS OF THINGS,
WE DON'T OFTEN HAVE
A THOUSAND PAIRS OF SOCKS
OR A THOUSAND SHOES
IN OUR HOUSE,
BUT THERE ARE 1,000 ITEMS
THAT ARE LURKING AROUND
IF WE LOOK VERY CAREFULLY.
HERE,
I HAVE WHAT I IMAGINE
IS SEVERAL THOUSAND
GRAINS OF RICE.
THEY LIVE IN MY KITCHEN.
NOW, TODAY WE ARE GONNA TRY
AND MAKE SOME CONNECTIONS
WITH OUR TEN THOUSANDS,
AS WELL AS OUR
HUNDRED THOUSANDS.
NOTICE THINGS WE MIGHT HAVE
TO LOOK A LITTLE BIT CLOSER
TO TRY AND LOCATE.
I'M THINKING
IN MY OWN NEIGHBOURHOOD,
WHAT MIGHT THERE BE
TEN THOUSAND OF?
WELL, I IMAGINE
THERE MIGHT BE 10,000 PEOPLE.
NOT JUST IN
THIS NEIGHBOURHOOD,
BUT THE NEIGHBOURHOODS MOVING
AWAY FROM MY NEIGHBOURHOOD.
THERE MIGHT BE,
JUST DOWN THE STREET
AT THE LOCAL BANK,
SOMEBODY'S BANK ACCOUNT
THAT HAS 10,000,
OR SEVERAL GROUPS
OF 10,000 DOLLARS.
AND IF THEY'RE DOIN'
REALLY WELL,
THEY MIGHT HAVE OVER
A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS.
WOULDN'T THAT BE SWEET?
NOW, THAT WOULD BE WONDERFUL
FOR THOSE PEOPLE,
AND, SPEAKING OF PEOPLE,
LET'S GO MEET A FEW PEOPLE
AS WE TRAVEL AROUND THE WORLD
WITH
THAT TVOKIDS SHOW.
Lucas is in his twenties, with short puffy brown hair and wears jeans and an orange T-shirt.
Laura is in her twenties, with above the shoulders straight brown hair with bangs and wears jeans and a purple T-shirt.
As a song plays, Lucas and Laura walk in the woods, cross a bridge, balance on a fallen tree trunk, cross a stream, run across the city and in a park full of geese. Fast clips show them next to Greg playing and having fun in the tree fort. Greg is in his twenties, with short black hair. He wears a blue sweater.
The song says PACK UP YOUR BAGS
KISS YOUR TURTLE GOODBYE
COME UP AND CLIMB
WHERE WE CAN TOUCH THE SKY
SO MUCH TO SEE
SO MUCH TO DO
IN OUR TREE FORT
WE GOT A SHOW FOR
THAT TVOKIDS, THAT TVOKIDS
THAT TVOKIDS
THAT TVOKIDS SHOW
Laura says PASSWORD PLEASE.
[FWEET!]
Lucas whispers something in Laura's ear as a caption reads "Globe."
In animation, a dialogue bubbles pop out of a map with a caption "That TVO Kids Show."
The song continues LA, LA, LA, DO, DO, DO,
BLAH, BLAH, BLAH
THAT TVOKIDS SHOW!
Lucas appears in the sky.
He says WHAT? THAT'S SUCH
A GOOD IDEA!
Laura says YES! TVOKIDS,
I WAS JUST
TELLING LUCAS
THAT TODAY'S AROUND
THE WORLD DAY,
SO WE ARE GOING
TO TRAVEL THE WORLD!
Lucas says OKAY, BUT THERE'S SO MANY
PLACES TO GO IN THE WORLD.
WHERE SHOULD WE GO?
Laura says OKAY, BUT HOLD ON.
I JUST WANNA SAY FIRST
THAT TRAVELLING
THE WORLD TODAY,
WE'RE DOING IT
VIRTUALLY!
Laura shows two free tickets.
Lucas says YOU DIDN'T EVEN SHOW ME
YOU HAD TICKETS!
Laura says I KNOW!
I HAVE OUR VIRTUAL
TRAVEL TICKETS,
SO WE'RE ACTUALLY GONNA
USE OUR IMAGINATIONS...
Luc as says YEAH.
Laura says TO TRAVEL
AROUND THE WORLD
AND LEARN ABOUT
DIFFERENT CULTURES.
Lucas says YEAH, IT'S NOT
A TIME TO TRAVEL.
WE CAN USE
OUR IMAGINATIONS
AND WE CAN PRETEND
WE'RE THERE, RIGHT?
Laura says TOTALLY.
WE CAN LEARN ABOUT
MUSIC AND FOOD.
Lucas says OOH! DANCE?
Laura says AND DANCE.
Lucas says ALL OF THE ABOVE!
Laura says OKAY, OKAY. WHERE
DO WE GO, THOUGH?
Lucas says OKAY, UM,
LET'S PICK A PLACE
THAT STARTS WITH AN I.
Laura says INDIA.
Lucas says MM-HM, I'VE ALWAYS
WANTED TO GO TO INDIA.
Laura says OKAY! WHAT ABOUT SOMEWHERE
THAT STARTS WITH A G?
Lucas says OKAY,
A G, A G, A G...
GHANA!
Laura says YES!
OKAY, UM, WE SHOULD GO
ONE MORE PLACE.
Lucas says OKAY, WHAT LETTER?
Laura says UH, LET'S JUST DO
ANOTHER G.
Lucas says OKAY.
Laura says OKAY.
Lucas says LET'S SAY IT
ON THE COUNT OF THREE.
Laura says OKAY.
They say ONE, TWO, THREE.
GREECE!
Laura says DID WE SAY
THE SAME ONE?
Lucas says OUR MINDS ARE SYNCED!
Laura says WE'RE CONNECTED!
Lucas says AND WE'RE GOING TO
THOSE THREE PLACES!
Laura says OKAY, TVOKIDS, THIS
IS GONNA BE AMAZING.
I CAN'T WAIT TO CASH IN
THESE TICKETS.
Lucas laughs and says I KNOW!
Laura says YEAH!
I'M GONNA GO PACK.
The frog phone rings.
Laura says YEAH, YOU GO PACK
'CAUSE I GOTTA ANSWER THIS.
Lucas says OKAY.
Laura says OKAY.
Lucas says HAVE FUN.
Laura says BYE!
Lucas says BYE!
She puts on the headsets and says HELLO,
WHO'S CALLING?
On the phone, Mikhail says HELLO, MY NAME IS MIKHAIL
AND I'M SEVEN YEARS OLD
AND I'M FROM BARBADOS.
Laura says YOU'RE FROM BARBADOS?!
OKAY, MIKHAIL,
WHAT'S THE PASSWORD
FOR THE FORT?
Mikhail says GLOBE.
Laura says YES, "GLOBE"!
MIKHAIL, YOU'RE GOIN'
IN THE SKY.
She gasps and says MIKHAIL!
WELCOME TO
THE TREE FORT!
ARE YOU CALLING
FROM BARBADOS?
Mikhail sits outdoors with palm trees behind him. He has short curly black hair.
Mikhail says YES.
Laura says OKAY,
THAT IS SO COOL.
IT LOOKS BEAUTIFUL
BEHIND YOU.
UH, WHAT'S THE WEATHER
LIKE THERE?
Mikhail says HOT AND SUNNY.
Laura says HOT AND SUNNY!
THAT IS AMAZING.
OKAY, MIKHAIL,
WE'RE TRYING TO LEARN
ABOUT OTHER CULTURES
TODAY.
UM, IS THERE SOMETHING SPECIAL
ABOUT THE CULTURE IN BARBADOS?
MAYBE A FAVOURITE FOOD
OF YOURS?
Mikhail says YES.
Laura says YES?
COOL!
Mikhail says FLYING FISH.
Laura says FLYING FISH?!
NO WAY!
SO, WAIT.
THEY DON'T REALLY FLY,
DO THEY?
Mikhail says NO, THEY DON'T REALLY FLY.
Laura says NO, THEY DON'T REALLY FLY,
BUT THEY TASTE GOOD?
Mikhail says YES.
Laura says COOL.
OKAY.
MIKHAIL,
THAT IS AMAZING.
I'M SO HAPPY YOU'RE
CALLING IN FROM BARBADOS.
UM, WE'RE GONNA CHECK OUT
SOME "CUTE TIME OOT" VIDEOS
AND YOU GET TO CHOOSE
YOUR FAVOURITE.
HOW'S THAT SOUND?
Mikhail says GOOD.
Laura says AMAZING. OKAY, LET'S
CHECK OUT THE CHAMPION.
A slate reads "Champion."
Mikhail and a white dog with a cape and a mask appear in split screens.
Laura says OKAY, THIS HAS BEEN THE
CHAMPION FOR A BIT NOW.
THIS IS
THE SUPERHERO DOG.
MIKHAIL,
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
Mikhail says GOOD.
Laura chuckles and says GOOD?
OKAY, WHAT WOULD YOU RATE
THE HERO DOG OUT OF TEN?
Mikhail says HMM.
Laura says HMM.
Mikhail says I'LL GIVE HIM...A TEN.
Laura says A TEN OUT OF TEN?
Mikhail smiles and nods.
Laura says OKAY, REALLY GOOD!
LET'S SEE HOW THAT DOES
UP AGAINST THE CHALLENGER.
An armadillo walks on a floor.
Laura says OHH!
I THINK THIS IS
AN ARMADILLO!
THAT'S SO COOL!
UH, MIKHAIL, HOW DID YOU
FEEL ABOUT THAT ONE?
Mikhail says GOOD, AND I'LL GIVE IT
TEN OUT OF EIGHT.
Laura says TEN OUT OF EIGHT.
OKAY, WAIT.
DOES THAT MEAN THAT YOU
CHOOSE THE ARMADILLO
AS THE WINNER?
Mikhail says YES.
Laura says YES!
OKAY, I REALLY LIKED
THAT ONE TOO.
THAT MEANS IT MOVES ON
TO TOMORROW.
MIKHAIL, THANK YOU
SO MUCH FOR CALLING IN.
I HOPE YOU CALL IN
AGAIN FROM BARBADOS!
Mikhail says BYE.
Laura says BYE! SEE YA LATER!
(applause)
THAT WAS AWESOME.
I HOPE I GET TO TRY
FLYING FISH ONE DAY.
THAT WOULD BE
REALLY COOL.
BUT TVOKIDS, WE'RE GONNA KEEP
OUR VIRTUAL TRAVELLING GOING.
UM, WE'RE GONNA TALK
A BIT ABOUT MUSIC,
WHICH IS A REALLY GREAT WAY
TO LEARN ABOUT CULTURE AS WELL.
SO, OUR NEXT GUEST,
THEY ACTUALLY PLAY SOMETHING
CALLED THE DJEMBE DRUM,
WHICH IS A TRADITIONAL
WEST AFRICAN DRUM,
SO I'M REALLY EXCITED
TO LEARN ABOUT IT.
PLEASE WELCOME AMARA
TO THE SKY.
AMARA, WELCOME!
Amara is in his mid-forties, clean-shaven and bald. He wears a patterned shirt and a necklace.
A caption reads "Amara Kante."
Amara smiles and says HI! HOW ARE YOU?
Laura says I'M SO GOOD.
I'M SO EXCITED
TO HAVE YOU
IN THE TREE
FORT.
HOW ARE YOU
TODAY?
Amara says I'M VERY GOOD.
Laura says AWESOME!
OKAY, AMARA,
YOU PLAY THE DJEMBE DRUM.
CAN YOU TELL THE TVOKIDS A
LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT IT IS?
Amara says WELL, THE DJEMBE COMIN' FROM
THE WEST AFRICA GUINEA-CONAKRY.
IT'S ONE INSTRUMENT
VERY, VERY POWERFUL
AND A COMMUNICATION
INSTRUMENT,
AND TO MAKE THE LIVELY
MUSIC TOGETHER,
TO HAVE FUN.
TO HAVE THE-- WHEN YOU'RE HAVING
THE BABY SHOWER,
WHEN YOU'RE HAVING
THE MARRIAGE,
WHEN YOU'RE HAVING
A WEDDING,
THE DJEMBE IS THERE
TO BRING IN
THIS ENERGY TOGETHER.
Laura says OH, THAT'S SO COOL!
SO, IT'S USED
EVERYWHERE,
AT ALL THESE SPECIAL EVENTS
TO BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER.
THAT IS
REALLY AWESOME.
Amara says EXACTLY.
Laura says OKAY, AMARA,
I WANNA KNOW,
WHAT DO YOU THINK,
WHY...
WHY IS MUSIC
SO IMPORTANT
IN HELPING TO UNDERSTAND
OTHER CULTURES?
Amara says FOR THAT, FOR ME,
FOR AMARA KANTÉ,
THE INFLUENCE ON THE CULTURE OF
THE MUSIC IS VERY IMPORTANT.
EVERYTHING YOU'RE DOING
IN YOUR LIFE,
THE MUSIC
IS VERY IMPORTANT.
YOU GOING TO PAN,
YOU MAKE THE JEWELRY,
YOU HAVE YOUR FOOD,
YOU HAVE EVERYTHING
IN YOUR LIFE
AND THE MUSIC IS SPIRITUAL.
AND RIGHT NOW,
FOR THE PANDEMIC,
EVERYONE WILL NEED
THIS ENERGY-
MUSICAL, SPIRITUAL,
TO COME TOGETHER
TO BRING THE ENERGY UP
FOR EVERYBODY AND THE CULTURE
TO BE ONE.
Laura says 100 percent, YEAH!
ALL OF US LIVING
THROUGH A PANDEMIC,
IT'S BEEN REALLY HARD
BUT MUSIC TOTALLY IS
SOMETHING THAT CONNECTS US,
WHICH IS AMAZING.
ALSO,
I'M VERY EXCITED.
ARE YOU GONNA BE PLAYING
SOMETHING FOR US?
Amara says AH!
AH, YOU WANNA SEE
MY DJEMBE?
Laura says YES!
OF COURSE WE DO!
Amara says AND DON'T FORGET THAT
THE DJEMBE'S COMIN'
FROM MY PEOPLE!
MY PEOPLE, THE (UNCLEAR).
YOU READY?
Laura says I'M SO READY!
(energetic percussion)
Amara plays the Djembe.
Laura says YES!
A-MAZE-ING.
AMARA, I CAN FEEL
THE ENERGY
ALL THE WAY OVER HERE
IN THE TREE FORT.
Amara chuckles.
Laura says THANK YOU SO MUCH,
AMARA,
FOR HANGING OUT
WITH US TODAY
AND FOR TAKING THE TIME
TO TEACH US A LITTLE BIT
ABOUT YOUR CULTURE AND
ABOUT THE DJEMBE DRUM.
Amara says THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Laura says THANKS, AMARA.
WE'LL SEE YOU
NEXT TIME.
Amara says THANK YOU.
BYE-BYE.
Laura says THANKS, AMARA!
SO COOL. TVOKIDS,
YOU CAN ALSO LEARN
HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN
DJEMBE DRUM AT HOME.
LET'S CHECK OUT THIS
BACKYARD BEATS
CLIP.
(energetic music playing)
Monica dances to a drum beat. She is about 14 years old. She has long black hair. She wears a patterned T-shirt under a denim overall.
Monica says WHO'S READY TO GET
THEIR DJEMBE ON?
I KNOW I AM!
IT'S TIME TO GET
CRAFT-STRUMENT-- ING.
HERE ARE THE MATERIALS
I'LL NEED
TO CREATE MY VERY OWN
DIY DJEMBE.
FIRST,
A NICE-SIZED PLASTIC BUCKET.
SOME PACKING TAPE,
OR YOU COULD USE SOME
GOOD OLD MR. CELLOPHANE.
TWO CYLINDER CHIP CANS
WHICH I'VE DECORATED
WITH SOME FUN DUCT TAPE.
(rattling)
She shakes the cans and says OOH.
(chuckling)
(crunching)
She eats a chip and continues WASTE NOT, WANT NOT.
THEN I'LL NEED A DRILL,
DRILLING GOGGLES,
DECORATIONS FOR LATER,
AND FINALLY...
YOU REMEMBER MY OLD DRESSING
ROBE THAT I FOUND EARLIER?
TOLD YA
IT'D COME IN HANDY.
LET'S GET TO THE BEAT.
A slate reads "The base."
Wearing goggles, Monica says SO, FOR THE FIRST STEP,
I'M GOING TO VERY CAREFULLY
DRILL TWO HOLES INTO THE BUCKET
NEAR THE OPENING
ON EITHER SIDE.
The slate changes to "The Strap."
Monica says THIS IS THE STRAP
THAT I'LL USE
TO ATTACH THE DRUM
TO MYSELF,
SORT OF LIKE
A REVERSE BACKPACK.
I'M GOING TO TAKE THE ROPE BELT
AND FEED IT THROUGH THE HOLES.
I WANT TO MEASURE
JUST HOW TIGHT I'LL NEED IT
BEFORE TYING IT SNUG.
She hangs the rope with the bucket around her neck.
(music plays)
The slate changes to "The skin."
Monica says NEXT, I'M GOING TO WRAP
THE TOP OF THE PLASTIC BUCKET
NICE AND TIGHT
WITH SOME PACKING TAPE.
The slate changes to "The extra notes."
Monica says THEN, ONCE I'VE
TRIPLE-CHECKED...
THAT THERE ARE NO MORE CHIPS
LEFT IN EITHER
OF THE CYLINDER CANS,
I'M GOING TO TAKE
ONE OF THE CANS
AND SLIGHTLY BEND
ONE SIDE INWARDS,
SO THE BEND RESEMBLES
AN OPEN-MOUTHED SMILE.
THIS WILL GIVE THE TWO CANS
A DIFFERENT SOUND.
I'M GOING TO TAPE
THE TWO CHIP CANS UPSIDE-DOWN
SO THEY'RE LEVEL
WITH THE TOP OF THE BUCKET.
I'M SO CLOSE TO MY VERY OWN
DIY DJEMBE CRAFT-STRUMENT.
DID YOU KNOW THAT THE DJEMBE
ORIGINATED IN WEST AFRICA
OVER 12 CENTURIES AGO?!
THAT'S OVER 1,200 YEARS
FOR THOSE OF US COUNTING.
MY FAVOURITE PART
IS UP NEXT-
DECORATING!
I CAN PUT WHATEVER I WANT
ON THE DJEMBE-
STICKERS, SOME PAINT,
POPSICLE STICKS, ANYTHING.
NOW, I'M GOING TO USE THE
ROPE STRAP TO PUT THE DRUM ON
SO IT STAYS PUT
FOR ALL THE...
(imitating drum roll)
DRUMMING THAT'S COMIN' UP!
TA-DA!
MY VERY OWN DJEMBE.
She plays her crafted Djembe.
(laughing)
She says AWESOME!
IT SOUNDS GREAT.
I'M GONNA ADD SOME MORE BLING
SO IT'LL LOOK SUPER SHARP.
I CAN'T WAIT
TO ROCK OUT LATER.
Back in the tree fort, Laura says HMM! ALL THIS DRUMMING TALK
IS MAKING ME FEEL VERY DANCY,
YOU KNOW?
Lucas appears in the sky as Dance Dad. He wears glasses and a purple cap.
Dance Dad says DID SOMEONE SAY
"DANCY"?
HA-CHA!
Laura says DANCE DAD!
Dance Dad says IT'S ME!
Laura says OKAY,
THIS IS PERFECT.
WHY DON'T YOU COME ALONG
WITH US ON OUR VIRTUAL TOUR?
Dance Dad says I THOUGHT
YOU'D NEVER ASK.
WHERE DO YOU WANNA GO?
DANCE DAD KNOWS ALL ABOUT
DANCING IN DIFFERENT PLACES.
Laura says HMM. OKAY,
I HAVE JUST THE IDEA.
Dance Dad says OOH! GOOD!
Laura says OKAY?
SO, CLOSE YOUR EYES...
TAKE A DEEP BREATH...
Dance Dad says OKAY.
Laura says START IMAGINING THAT
YOU'RE ACROSS THE OCEAN.
Dance Dad says OOH, YEAH.
Laura says NEAR OR IN
THE MEDITERRANEAN.
Dance Dad says OOH!
(gasping)
I'VE ARRIVED!
Dance Dad appears in a pebbled street near white houses.
Laura says YOU'RE IN GREECE!
Dance Dad says AND IT'S FANTASTIC!
NOW, THE PEOPLE HERE
JUST DANCE ON THE STREETS
AND THEY DANCE SOMETHING
CALLED THE ZORBA.
Laura says OKAY.
Dance Dad says IT'S A GREEK DANCE.
Laura says TEACH US.
Dance Dad says I JUST HAVE TO WAIT
TILL WHEN IT STARTS,
AND THEN DANCE DAD WILL DO
THE MOVE FOR YOU, OKAY?
WATCH CLOSELY.
(lively Greek music playing)
Dance Dad dances and says WOO!
OH, YEAH!
THEN LIKE THIS.
YOU JUST DO THIS.
IT'S GOOD!
WHOA, AND THEN YOU GO...
Dance Dad turns sideways and claps.
He chuckles and says LIKE THAT.
DO YOU WANNA SEE IT AGAIN?
Laura says YES, I DO!
Dance Dad says OKAY, HERE I GO.
WOOHOO!
SEE? THIS IS WHAT
THEY DO HERE.
IT'S JUST INCREDIBLE.
WHOOP, YEP,
IT'S CALLED THE ZORBA.
YOU GOTTA TRY IT.
IT'S AMAZING.
Laura says OKAY, DANCE DAD.
THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR SHARING THE ZORBA
WITH US.
A GREEK DANCE.
PRETTY COOL!
SEE, TVOKIDS,
YOU CAN LEARN ABOUT CULTURES
FROM THE DANCING.
PRETTY AWESOME.
IN THE MEANTIME,
LET'S CHECK OUT
I WONDER...WHY?
An animation shows comets flying past the Earth. A title reads "I wonder why."
On a cell phone video, Felipe says HI, MY NAME IS FELIPE AND...
AND I WONDER
HOW BIG THE UNIVERSE IS.
A caption reads "Damian Pope. Perimeter Scientist."
In his forties with a light blue shirt, Damian says THANKS, FELIPE,
FOR YOUR QUESTION.
THE UNIVERSE
IS EVERYTHING THERE IS.
IT INCLUDES
THE ENTIRE EARTH,
ALL THE PLANETS
IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM,
ALL THE STARS
IN THE MILKY WAY GALAXY,
AND ALL THE MILLIONS
OF GALAXIES BEYOND THAT.
As she speaks, an animation shows the universe.
He continues SO, IT'S PRETTY BIG.
NOW, THE FASTEST WE KNOW
SOMETHING CAN TRAVEL IS LIGHT.
LIGHT GOES SO FAST,
IT CIRCLES THE EQUATOR
SEVEN TIMES EVERY SINGLE SECOND.
WHEN WE LOOK OUT INTO SPACE,
THE FARTHEST OBJECT
WE CAN SEE AWAY
IS SO FAR AWAY,
IT WOULD TAKE LIGHT
45 BILLION YEARS
TO GET THERE
IN EVERY DIRECTION.
SO, THE UNIVERSE
WE CAN SEE
IS 90 BILLION
LIGHT-YEARS ACROSS.
BUT WHAT'S BEYOND THAT?
IS THERE A BRICK WALL?
DOES IT GO ON FOREVER?
IS IT JUST AN EDGE?
WE DON'T KNOW.
IT'S AN UNSOLVED MYSTERY
FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS
OF SCIENTISTS LIKE YOURSELF
TO SOLVE.
In the tree fort, Laura and Dance Dad eat food.
Dance Dad says MM, MM, MM.
Laura says OKAY, CHECK IT OUT,
TVOKIDS.
WE ARE USING
OUR IMAGINATIONS
TO TRAVEL TO OUR FINAL
DESTINATION, WHICH IS INDIA.
THAT'S RIGHT!
WE'RE TRYING OUT
SOME SAMOSAS.
Dance Dad says I KNOW! NOTHIN'
LIKE A GOOD MEAL
AFTER A GOOD DANCE.
AM I RIGHT?
AM I RIGHT?
Laura says TOTALLY!
AND TVOKIDS,
SAMOSAS ARE A REALLY POPULAR
INDIAN STREET FOOD.
WHAT'S IN YOURS,
DANCE DAD?
Dance Dad says WELL, MINE...
IT LOOKS LIKE WE'VE GOT
SOME SPINACH AND SOME CORN!
MMM!
WHAT ABOUT YOU?
Laura says MINE HAS PEAS AND POTATOES
AND IT'S SO GOOD!
Dance Dad says OOOH!
Laura says TVOKIDS...
Dance Dad says WELL, THESE ARE A SUCCESS.
LET ME TELL YOU.
SOME OF THE BEST SAMOSAS
I'VE EVER HAD.
Laura says TOTALLY. TVOKIDS,
YOU CAN TRAVEL AROUND THE WORLD
WITH YOUR IMAGINATION TOO,
WITH MUSIC, DANCING,
AND FOOD.
Dance Dad says MM-HM! THAT'S ALL
FROM DANCE DAD.
SIGNIN' OFF. WOO!
Laura says I'M LAURA.
BE TRUE TO YOU.
Laura waves.
(music plays)
A caption reads "Copyright 2021, The Ontario Educational Communications Authority."
Teacher Steven reappears.
He says WOW. THAT WAS SOME TRIP
WITH ALL KINDS
OF FABULOUS PEOPLE.
NOW, I GOT SOMETHING
IN THE MAIL TODAY.
HMM.
LET'S SEE WHAT IT IS.
He grabs an envelope and says IT IS A LETTER
FROM SOMETHING CALLED
STATISTICS CANADA.
AND WHAT THEY SENT ME
WAS SOMETHING CALLED A CENSUS.
NOW, WHAT A CENSUS IS-
IT ASKS YOU SOME QUESTIONS,
AND IT TRIES TO FIGURE OUT
HOW MANY PEOPLE LIVE
IN A GIVEN AREA.
THEY NEED TO KNOW
THOSE KINDS OF THINGS
BECAUSE WHEN THEY KNOW HOW MANY
PEOPLE LIVE IN A CERTAIN AREA,
THEY CAN PROVIDE
ALL KINDS OF SERVICES
THAT ARE BETTER ABLE
TO SERVE THEM.
NOW, BACK IN THE OLD DAYS,
I USED TO LIVE IN THIS HOMETOWN
CALLED NORTH BAY.
IT WAS A SMALLER TOWN.
THE POPULATION OF NORTH BAY
WAS 50,000 PEOPLE.
NOW, IF WE WERE TO LOOK
AT MY PLACE VALUE CHART,
WE WOULD SEE THAT 50,000
He points to the chart and says IS JUST RIGHT HERE,
IN OUR TEN THOUSANDS COLUMN.
NOW,
THERE ARE FIVE GROUPS
OF TEN THOUSAND PEOPLE.
THAT MAKES 50,000 PEOPLE.
NOW, MY TOWN
WAS PRETTY SMALL,
AND IT WAS A GREAT TOWN,
BUT WHEN I WAS DONE
HIGH SCHOOL,
I DECIDED,
HMM, YOU KNOW WHAT?
I'M GONNA GO
TO A BIGGER COMMUNITY.
SO, I GOT IN MY CAR
AND I DROVE MYSELF DOWN
FIVE HOURS
FROM MY HOMETOWN
TO A PLACE
CALLED LONDON, ONTARIO.
THAT'S WHERE
I WENT TO COLLEGE.
I DIDN'T WEAR GLASSES,
I HAD A FULL HEAD
OF HAIR,
AND MY HEARING
WAS PERFECT.
OH, MY,
HOW I HAVE CHANGED.
SO, MY COLLEGE TOWN
OF LONDON, ONTARIO
IS A LOT BIGGER
IN COMPARISON TO MY HOMETOWN
OF NORTH BAY.
IN FACT, MY COLLEGE TOWN
OF LONDON, ONTARIO
NOW HAS A POPULATION
OF 400,000 PEOPLE!
ACTUALLY,
IT'S A LITTLE MORE THAN THAT.
NOW, IF WE WERE TO LOOK BACK
AT OUR PLACE VALUE CHART,
WE ARE LOOKING NOW
AT OUR HUNDRED THOUSANDS
COLUMN.
THAT'S WHERE WE'D FIND
THE POPULATION OF LONDON.
AND IT'S FOUR GROUPS
OF 100,000 PEOPLE.
THAT'S A LOT OF PEOPLE.
IF I WAS TO TRY AND COMPARE
MY GROUPS OF NORTH BAY
AND LONDON,
AND THOSE TWO GROUPS
OF PEOPLE,
THE POPULATION OF ONE IS
A LOT LARGER THAN THE OTHER.
NOW, IN THE MATH WORLD,
IF WE'RE DESCRIBING
SOMETHING THAT'S BIGGER
THAN SOMETHING
THAT'S SMALLER,
WE USE THE TERM
"GREATER THAN."
IF WE'RE DESCRIBING
SOMETHING THAT IS SMALLER
THAN SOMETHING
THAT IS BIGGER,
WE USE THE TERM
"LESS THAN."
IF I WAS TO COMPARE THE TWO
CITIES THAT I HAVE LIVED IN
OF LONDON AND NORTH BAY,
I WOULD SAY THAT
MY COMMUNITY OF LONDON
WITH 400,000 PEOPLE,
IS GREATER THAN
MY COMMUNITY OF NORTH BAY
THAT HAS 50,000 PEOPLE.
THERE'S ANOTHER COMMUNITY
THAT I AM THINKING OF
IN THE PROVINCE
OF ONTARIO.
IT'S A VERY IMPORTANT
COMMUNITY
FOR THE ENTIRE COUNTRY
OF CANADA.
AND IT STARTS
WITH THE LETTER O.
CAN YOU THINK OF
WHAT THAT PLACE MIGHT BE?
THAT PLACE IS OTTAWA.
AND OTTAWA IS ALWAYS GROWING
AND ALWAYS BUSTLING.
DID YOU KNOW THAT
THE POPULATION OF OTTAWA
IS OVER 900,000 PEOPLE?!
IT'S ALMOST A MILLION.
BUT WE'RE NOT TALKING
ABOUT MILLIONS TODAY.
THE POPULATION OF OTTAWA
IS OVER 900,000 PEOPLE.
AND IF I WAS TO COMPARE
MY COMMUNITY OF LONDON
AND THE COMMUNITY
OF OTTAWA,
I WOULD SAY THAT LONDON
HAS A POPULATION
THAT'S LESS THAN OTTAWA.
OR YOU COULD SWITCH IT
AND GO THE OTHER WAY AROUND,
AND SAY OTTAWA
HAS A POPULATION
OF OVER 900,000 PEOPLE,
THAT'S GREATER THAN
THE COMMUNITY OF LONDON,
WHICH IS JUST OVER 400,000.
NOW, I WONDER HOW MANY PEOPLE
LIVE IN YOUR CITY OR TOWN.
DO YOU KNOW?
WHO DO YOU THINK
YOU COULD ASK?
WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU COULD
FIND THAT INFORMATION?
NOW, JUST AS WE'VE MOVED
AROUND CITIES IN ONTARIO,
LET'S HEAD ON OVER
TO 16 HUDSON
TO WELCOME SOME NEW PEOPLE
TO A NEW CITY.

(music plays)
In animation, birds flatter over a tall apartment building in the city.
Luc and Amala knock on Lili's door. Sam is with her.
Sam has short black hair and wears blue trousers and a yellow T-shirt with blue rims.
Lili has long black hair and wears big purple-rimmed glasses, yellow trousers, and a pink T-shirt with red rims.
Amala is a little girl with brown hair in a top knot and wears blue short overalls and a yellow T-shirt.
Luc has curly brown hair and wears red pants and a purple sweater.
Kids walk down a staircase and go play in the park.
A song plays that goes WHO'S THAT KNOCKING
AT MY DOOR?
I'LL RACE YOU
TO THE BOTTOM FLOOR
WHO'S THAT PLAYING
HIDE AND SEEK?
COUNT TO 10
AND DON'T YOU PEEK!
LET'S HEAD OUTSIDE AND PLAY
CREATE A BRAND-NEW GAME
OR SEARCH
BENEATH THE STAIRS
FOR HIDDEN TREASURE THERE
16 HUDSON...
THAT'S WHERE
MY FRIENDS ARE WAITING
16 HUDSON...
WON'T YOU COME ALONG?
16 HUDSON...
WHERE EVERYBODY'S WELCOME
16 HUDSON...
THAT'S WHERE I BELONG!
All the kids in the park blow up balloons and the morph into a rainbow over the block.
The name of the show appears in a street sign. It reads "16 Hudson."
A caption reads "Created by Shabnam Rezaei and Aly Jetha."
The name of the episode reads "Welcome."
Ivan fixes a baby cradle as the kids chat around him.
Lili says A NEW BABY?
Sam says I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS NEWS
TO YOU, LILI.
Amala says YEAH, I MEAN,
YOU KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT
EVERYONE IN THE BUILDING.
Sam says INCLUDING WHERE I HID
THE EVIDENCE
FOR THAT THING I DID
THAT TIME.
DID I SAY THAT OUT LOUD?
Lili says YEAH, I'M KIND OF
SURPRISED TOO.
Ivan grunts and says ACTUALLY, IT'S NOT JUST A NEW
BABY HERE AT 16 HUDSON,
IT'S A WHOLE NEW FAMILY.
THE GARMIANIS.
(overlapping excited chatter)
Ivan says THEY COME FROM A COUNTRY
CALLED KURDISTAN.
A MOM, A DAD, KIDS,
AND THEIR GRANDDAD.
(bomb exploding)
BUT THEY'VE BEEN MOVING AROUND
A LOT SINCE THEY LEFT.
THEY HAD TO LEAVE
THEIR COUNTRY
BECAUSE IT WASN'T
SAFE ANYMORE.
SO, THEY'RE COMING HERE
TO BE SAFE WITH US.
The Garmiani family travels in a plane.
He continues THEY'LL BE ARRIVING HERE SOON
FOR A NEW LIFE.
NEW FRIENDS, NEW LANGUAGE,
NEW EVERYTHING.
Sam says WOW.
THAT SOUNDS HARD.
Lili says BUT I'M SO GLAD THEY'RE
COMING HERE.
LET'S GIVE THEM
THE BEST WELCOME EVER.
EVERYBODY CAN HELP.
Lili knocks on the doors of different neighbours.
In a neighbour meeting, Sisi says SO, HOW DO WE MAKE OUR NEW
NEIGHBOURS FEEL AT HOME?
IDEAS?
Lili says OKAY, THE BIG PROBLEM
IS THAT WE DON'T SPEAK
THE SAME LANGUAGE.
Amala says WHICH IS WEIRD.
'CAUSE WE ALREADY GOT
MOST OF THEM COVERED.
LIKE HINDI.
Sam says CANTONESE.
Lili says FARSI.
Sam says OJIBWE.
Lili says FRENCH AND TAGALOG.
BUT NOT THEIRS.
MY MOM SAYS IT'S CALLED SORANI.
Amala says LOOKS LIKE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE
TO COMMUNICATE... BY DRAWING!
LIKE THIS.
Sam says NICE HORSE!
Lili says SAM, IT'S A DUCK.
Amala says PFFT! IT WAS SUPPOSED
TO BE A PIE.
Lili says WELL, THIS IS GOING TO BE HARDER
THAN I THOUGHT.
I MEAN, HOW DO WE EVEN
SAY HELLO?
Sam says WHAT DO WE DO?
SHOULD WE BRING SOMETHING?
Lili says YES, A PRESENT!
THAT'LL GIVE US SOMETHING TO
TALK ABOUT RIGHT AWAY.
Amala says IT HAS TO BE PERFECT.
IT HAS TO BE FUN AND FRIENDLY.
JUST LIKE US.
Lili says EXACTLY. ONLY... WHAT?
Swinging in the playground, Lili says MAYBE WE SHOULD GO
TO THE GIFT STORE.
Sam says NO WAY.
I ALWAYS THINK GIFT STORES
WILL HAVE COOL STUFF INSIDE,
BUT TURNS OUT
TO BE 99 PERCENT SOAP.
SOAP! AS A PRESENT.
Lili says THEN WHAT?
CHOCOLATE? BOOKS?
Sam says I GOT IT! THEY'RE KIDS!
AND THE ABSOLUTELY MOST
IMPORTANT THING
A KID COULD EVER
NEED IS...
Later, Sam says GLOW IN THE DARK
MOUSTACHE GLASSES!
Lili says SERIOUSLY?
Sam says YOU GOT SOMETHING BETTER?
Lili says HUH. I GUESS NOT.
HERE WE GO.
(excited murmuring)
The neighbours wait for the Garmianis.
Amala says I'M HOPE THIS WORKS.
WHERE DID YOU GET
ALL THOSE ANYWAY?
Holding several moustache glasses, Sam says SAM RULE NUMBER 56.
NEVER GET CAUGHT WITHOUT
EMERGENCY BACKUP
GLOW IN THE DARK
MOUSTACHE GLASSES.
Garmiani Dad says HM.
Lili's dad says HELLO.
Garmiani Dad says WELCOME.
One at a time, Lili's parents and the Garmiani mom and dad say HELLO.
(chuckling)
All say HELLO!
(overlapping conversation)
The Garmianis kids take their presents.
A man says SHAKE HANDS?
(chuckling, chattering)
Amala whispers DO WE TAKE OUR SHOES OFF?
Sam says WE ALWAYS DO.
Paul and Bayani accidentally hit their heads as they bend to take their shoes off.
They say OH!
(parents chuckling)
Lili says NOW WHAT?
DO WE SAY SOMETHING?
Sam says HM. I GOT THIS.
They kids wear the moustache glasses.
The Garmiani daughter says WHOA!
The kids have fun.
Lili says GIVE ME ONE OF THOSE!
UGH!
Lili bumps into the wall.
Sam says SEE? KIDS ARE KIDS WHEREVER
THEY'RE FROM.
Lili nods.
(chattering)
Lili says IVAN SAID THERE WERE KIDS
IN THE FAMILY,
A MOM AND DAD,
PLUS A GRANDDAD.
BUT WHERE IS HE?
Sisi says I DON'T KNOW.
Garmianis mom says BAPIR?
Lili says YEAH, THEIR GRANDDAD.
CAN I MEET HIM?
Garmianis mom says PLEASE BABA.
Bapir sits alone in a room next to a chess game.
He says HM?
He turns to look at a window and gesture to leave them.
Lili says HE DIDN'T WANT TO MEET ME.
MAMAN, AND HE
LOOKS SO SAD.
Sisi says IT MUST BE VERY
HARD FOR HIM.
HARDER EVEN THAN FOR THE REST
OF THE FAMILY.
Lili says WHY?
Sisi says THINK ABOUT IT.
HE'S OLDER,
SO HE HAD TO LEAVE A PLACE
HE'S LIVED HIS WHOLE LONG LIFE.
EVERYTHING HE KNOWS.
ALL HIS FRIENDS.
Lili says AND THEN HE CAME
TO A PLACE
WHERE HE CAN'T
EVEN TALK TO ANYBODY
BECAUSE HE ONLY
SPEAKS SORANI.
Sisi says IT'S NOT EASY.
Lili says IT MUST BE SCARY
AND AWFUL.
WE SHOULD HAVE BROUGHT HIM
A SPECIAL GIFT.
I WISH I'D THOUGHT
OF THAT.
Sisi says GIVE HIM TIME, LILI.
EVERYONE HERE IS NICE.
IT WILL BE BETTER ONCE HE GETS
TO KNOW US.
Lili says OKAY.
HE'S HAD A MINUTE.
I'M GOING BACK IN.
(clearing her throat)
BAPIR? I'M LILI.
Bapir says HM...
Lili says HM.
HM?
HM...
WAIT, I KNOW CHESS.
I MEAN, I'M TERRIBLE,
BUT I KNOW HOW TO PLAY.
Lili moves a chess piece.
Bapir says HM.
Bapir starts to play chess.
Lili says HM?
Bapir says HM.
Sisi says LILI! IT'S TIME TO GO.
Lili says OH, REALLY? ALREADY?
Sisi says HEH-HEH. ALREADY?
YOU'VE BEEN AT IT NEARLY
TWO HOURS!
Lili says THANK YOU.
Bapir says SPAS.
Bapir pats Lili's head.
Next, Sisi says SWEETIE, I'M SO PROUD OF YOU.
Lili says WHY?
Sisi says YOU WERE SO GOOD
WITH GRANDDAD.
Lili says I JUST PLAYED A GAME.
IT'S NOT LIKE I GOT HIM
A PRESENT.
Sisi says YES, WELL, SOMETIMES A PRESENT
IS NOT ALWAYS A THING.
SOMETIMES IT IS JUST BEING
THERE.
SOMETIMES THE BEST PRESENT
YOU CAN GIVE SOMEONE
IS YOUR TIME.
Lili says REALLY? WELL THAT'S EASY!
SO, CAN I DO IT AGAIN?
Sisi says WHY NOT?
Lili kisses her mom.
Next, Lili visits Bapir.
Bapir says WELCOME.
Music plays as the end credits roll.
Kids say MY CANADA!
In off, a girl laughs and says SWEET!
(chattering)
In animation, a male teacher in a classroom says CLASS, QUITE PLEASE.
(shushing)
THANK YOU.
TODAY, WE'RE GOING
TO LEARN
ABOUT THE CAPITAL CITIES
OF CANADA.
IF YOU LOOK AT THE CHALK BOARD,
YOU'LL SEE A MAP OF CANADA.
THE DOTS ON THIS MAP REPRESENT
THE CAPITAL CITIES.
WOW! NOW THAT
IS A LOT OF DOTS.
MAYBE WE SHOULD LEARN
SOMETHING ELSE TODAY.
DO YOU GUYS KNOW ANY GOOD
KNOCK KNOCK JOKES?
CAN YOU NAME THE CAPITAL
CITIES OF CANADA?
Girl 1 says OTTAWA.
Boy 1 says VICTORIA.
Girl 2 says EDMONTON.
Girl 3 says REGINA.
Boy 2 says WINNIPEG.
Girl 4 says TORONTO.
Girl 5 says QUEBEC CITY.
Girl 6 says FREDERICTON
Boy 3 says HALIFAX.
Girl 5 says CHARLOTTETOWN.
Boy 4 says ST. JOHN'S.
Girl 7 says YELLOWKNIFE.
Girl 8 says WHITEHORSE.
Boy 1 says IQALUIT.
The Teacher says GREAT JOB, CLASS.
NOW TO HELP US MEMORIZE
ALL THE CAPITALS
OF THE PROVINCES AND
TERRITORIES OF CANADA,
WHY DON'T WE WATCH
THIS VIDEO.
An animated female robot sings a song with a red map of Canada behind her.
The song says CAPITAL CITIES
WHAT ARE THE CAPITAL CITIES?
(CITIES)
PLEASE HELP ME
CAPITAL CITIES
WHAT ARE THE CAPITAL CITIES?
(CITIES)
PLEASE HELP ME
THE CAPITAL OF BRITISH
COLUMBIA IS VICTORIA
WE JUST STARTED HERE AND NOW
THERE IS MORE FOR YA
MOVING RIGHT ALONG, TO THE
CAPITALS OF THE PRAIRIES
EDMONTON, REGINA,
WINNIPEG
AND THERE IS STILL MORE TO DO,
COME ON LET'S GO
THE CAPITAL OF ONTARIO
IS TORONTO
IN QUEBEC HERE THE CAPITAL
IS EASY TO REMEMBER
BECAUSE WE CALL IT
QUEBEC CITY
TO THE MARITIME CAPITALS
WE ARE MOVING ON
FREDERICTON, HALIFAX,
CHARLOTTETOWN
AND THEN IN NEWFOUNDLAND
THERE'S ST. JOHN'S.
THREE CAPITALS IN
THE TERRITORIES
AND THEN THAT'S IT
WHITEHORSE, YELLOWKNIFE
AND IQALUIT
WE'RE LEARNING LOTS,
BUT WE CAN'T FORGET
THE LAST THING,
THERE IS ONE MORE STEP
IN THIS GREAT COUNTRY,
HIP-HIP-HURRAH
THE CAPITAL OF CANADA
IS OTTAWA
THE CAPITAL OF CANADA
IS OTTAWA
THE CAPITAL OF CANADA
IS OTTAWA.
The song ends.
(bell ringing)
The Teacher says LOOKS LIKE CLASS
IS OVER.
BEFORE YOU GO,
ONE LAST JOKE.
WHAT DID THE NECKTIE SAY
TO THE HAT?
YOU GO ON "AHEAD,"
I'LL JUST HANG AROUND!
(giggling)
NO? NOTHING?
CLASS DISMISSED.
Steven says SO, NOW, I'D LIKE YOU TO THINK
ABOUT YOUR NEXT ROAD TRIP.
FOR ME IT'S BEEN A WHILE
SINCE I'VE BEEN ON A ROAD TRIP,
BUT I LOVE TO GO ON THEM WITH
MY BROTHER.
ONE OF THE THINGS
THAT I LOVE TO DO,
AND HOPE YOU WILL DO NEXT
TIME YOU GO ON YOUR ROAD TRIP,
IS TAKE A LOOK AT
THE SIGNS AS YOU DRIVE
IN AND OUT OF NEW COMMUNITIES.
THE SIGNS USUALLY
WILL HAVE A "WELCOME TO..."
AND THEY WILL HAVE
THE POPULATION OF THAT CITY.
TAKE A GOOD LOOK
AT THAT POPULATION
AND TRY AND COMPARE IT
TO THE POPULATION
OF WHERE YOU LIVE.
YOU'LL PROBABLY HAVE
A VERY DIFFICULT TIME
FINDING A POPULATION
THAT'S IN THE ONES.
I ALSO THINK IT MIGHT BE
CHALLENGING TO FIND A POPULATION
THAT'S IN THE TENS.
THAT WOULDN'T BE
THAT MANY PEOPLE.
YOU MIGHT FIND
A POPULATION IN A CITY
THAT'S IN THE HUNDREDS.
THERE WON'T BE TOO MANY,
BUT THERE MIGHT BE A FEW.
I BET YOU'LL FIND
MANY CITIES THAT HAVE
POPULATIONS IN THE THOUSANDS,
BUT A LOT OF TIMES, THEY MIGHT
BE KIND OF A LITTLE BIT
FURTHER AWAY FROM LARGER CITIES
OR SMALL ONES AS WELL.
NOW, HERE'S THE REAL ONE
WE'RE GOING TO TRY AND COMPARE.
TAKE A GOOD LOOK
AND SEE IF YOU CAN FIND
CITIES ON YOUR ROAD TRIP
THAT HAVE POPULATIONS
IN THE THOUSANDS.
I BET YOU'LL FIND PLENTY
IN THE TEN-THOUSANDS.
YOU MIGHT FIND SOME CITIES
THAT HAVE TALL, TALL BUILDINGS,
THAT HAVE POPULATIONS
IN THE HUNDRED THOUSANDS.
AND TAKE YOUR POPULATION,
AND COMPARE IT TO THE CITIES
THAT YOU PASS BY.
IT MIGHT BE A FUN GAME TO PLAY
AS YOU DRIVE THROUGH.
IS YOUR CITY GREATER THAN,
OR IS IT LESS THAN?
YOU'LL HAVE TO
CHECK AND FIND OUT
AS YOU DRIVE ALONG
YOUR MERRY WAY.
(music plays)
An animated blue sign that reads "Fish Talk with Leo" falls into the sea.
Leo is an animated blue and orange catfish. She swims near two tablets at the bottom of a lake.
Leo says IT'S
FISH TALK WITH LEO.
THAT'S RIGHT. IT'S ME, LEO.
INTERVIEWING THE EXPERTS
AND TAKING YOU BEHIND THE SCENES
OF ALL THE AMAZING WORK
THAT'S HAPPENING
AT PARKS CANADA.
YOU MIGHT THINK IT'S HARD
KEEPING TRACK OF SALMON,
AND YOU'D BE RIGHT.
An underwater camera shows salmon swimming.
She continues SALMON ARE TRAVELLERS.
THEY LIVE IN BOTH
THE OCEANS AND THE RIVERS,
AND IT'S ESPECIALLY
IMPORTANT TO KEEP TRACK OF
THIS ENDANGERED POPULATION
OF THE INNER BAY OF FUNDY
ATLANTIC SALMON.
BUT IT SEEMS RESEARCHERS
BECKY AND KURT
HAVE FOUND A GREAT WAY
OF KEEPING TRACK OF
THIS SPECIAL SALMON POPULATION.
A caption reads "Fundy National Park, New Brunswick."
Leo says SO, I'VE HEARD THIS RUMOUR
THAT CABLE HAS SOME MAGIC WAY
OF HELPING THE SALMON.
WHAT THE HECK IS IT?
The caption changes to "Kurt Samways. University of New Brunswick. Researcher."
By a lake wearing a life jacket, Kurt says IT'S A PIT ANTENNA ARRAY.
SO, IT'S A WAY FOR US
TO DETECT SALMON
THAT ARE ENTERING
AND LEAVING THE RIVER.
Leo says NOW, THAT'S A MOUTHFUL.
OKAY.
The caption changes to "Passive Integrated Transponder."
She continues IN PLAIN FISH TERMS,
A PIT TAG IS A TYPE
OF TRACKING DEVICE
THAT IS PUT INTO A FISH,
AND IN THIS CASE,
THE VERY SPECIAL
ENDANGERED POPULATION
OF THE INNER BAY OF FUNDY
ATLANTIC SALMON.
The caption changes to "Becky Graham. Parks Canada. Ecologist."
In her forties with wavy blond hair, Becky says THIS IS A PIT TAG.
IT DOESN'T HAVE A BATTERY,
SO IT NEVER RUNS OUT OF ENERGY.
AND EVERY PIT TAG
HAS A UNIQUE NUMBER.
SO, THAT WAY, IF THIS FISH,
AFTER WE TAG IT,
WERE TO COME BACK
THREE YEARS FROM NOW,
WE WOULD KNOW WHO IT WAS
AND THE LAST TIME
THAT WE SAW IT,
AND WE'D HAVE ALL THAT
INFORMATION TO KEEP TRACK.
Leo says SO, WHAT DOES A PIT TAG
HAVE TO DO WITH THE ARRAY?
Becky says SO, THERE'S A SMALL
COPPER COIL INSIDE THE TAG.
AND WHEN IT COMES THROUGH
THIS ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD,
IT GIVES THE TAG ENOUGH ENERGY
TO PING OUT ITS NUMBER.
AND WHAT THE READER DOES IS
IT DETECTS THAT PING
AND RECORDS IT FOR US.
AND SO, SINCE EACH TAG
HAS A UNIQUE NUMBER,
THAT LETS US KNOW
WHICH FISH ARE COMING
AND GOING THROUGH THE RIVER.
Leo says HOLD YOUR FINS.
SO, ARE YOU SAYING
THAT WIRE BEHIND TELLS YOU
ABOUT THE SALMON IN THE RIVER?
Becky says YEAH. IT'S LIKE IF YOU BOUGHT
AN APPLE AT THE GROCERY STORE
AND IT HAD A STICKER ON IT.
AND YOU SCAN IT,
AND THEN THE NUMBER COMES UP
ON THE SCREEN AND IT SHOWS
THAT YOU BOUGHT AN APPLE.
IT'S JUST LIKE THAT.
WHEN A FISH SWIMS THROUGH,
IT RECORDS THE NUMBER
AND WE CAN SEE
WHO HAS BEEN THERE.
Leo says BUT HOW DO YOU GET
ALL THAT INFORMATION
OUT OF THAT ITTY-BITTY
WIRE BEHIND YOU?
Kurt says THIS ANTENNA WIRE NOW
CAN DETECT THAT SIGNAL.
IT TRAVELS THROUGH THESE CABLES,
ALL THE WAY UP THE HILL TO
THE TOP WHERE OUR READER IS,
AND IT'S STORED ON A LITTLE
MEMORY CARD IN THAT READER,
SO THEN WE COME
WITH OUR COMPUTER,
WE CAN PLUG IT IN.
WE CAN DOWNLOAD IT.
AND THAT'S WHEN WE GET
ALL THAT INFORMATION.
Leo says WOW. SO, DOES THAT MEAN
YOU NEVER HAVE TO BOTHER
THE SALMON AGAIN?
Kurt says THAT'S THE REALLY
NICE THING ABOUT IT.
SO, YOU ONLY HAVE TO
HANDLE THE FISH ONCE.
AND THEN AFTER THAT,
IT'S ON ITS OWN,
AND THIS IS ALL...
IT'S DETECTED PASSIVELY,
WHICH IS THE MAIN THING.
Leo says SO, WHAT HAS THE ARRAY HELPED
YOU LEARN ABOUT THE SALMON?
Kurt says SO, WE'VE LEARNED
WHEN THEY'RE RETURNING,
HOW EARLY THEY RETURN.
WE ALSO KNOW HOW LONG
THEY STAY IN THE RIVER.
WHEN THEY SPAWN,
WHEN THEY LEAVE.
WE CAN ALSO LEARN WHAT KIND
OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
ARE FAVOURABLE FOR SALMON
TO ENTER AND LEAVE THE RIVER.
SO, WE CAN GET ALL
KINDS OF REALLY GREAT,
POPULATION-LEVEL INFORMATION
THAT YOU WOULDN'T BE ABLE
TO GET WITH OTHER METHODS
OF TRACKING FISH.
Leo says SO, IT'S LIKE
SPYING ON THE FISH,
BUT IN A FRIENDLY WAY.
Becky says AND ANOTHER THING WE DO
IN THIS RIVER QUITE A LOT.
ALL OF THOSE TAGS,
WHEN WE PUT THEM IN THE FISH,
WE ALSO TOOK A LITTLE BIT OF
A TISSUE SAMPLE.
SO, USUALLY WE TAKE
JUST A LITTLE CLIP,
ABOUT THE SIZE OF
THE TIP OF MY FINGERNAIL,
OFF THE FISH'S TAIL FIN.
WITH THAT, WE'RE ABLE TO GET
ALL OF THE GENETIC INFORMATION
TO KNOW WHO THAT
FISH'S PARENTS WERE,
WHICH FAMILY THEY BELONG TO.
AND ALL OF THAT
TELLS US WHICH FISH
ARE BEING MOST
SUCCESSFUL IN THIS KIND OF
CHANGING ENVIRONMENT.
Leo says SO, YOU'RE NOT JUST
FOLLOWING ONE SALMON,
BUT IT'S WHOLE FAMILY?
FIN-CREDIBLE!
Becky says THIS POPULATION IS
CRITICALLY ENDANGERED,
AND HAS BEEN RECOGNIZED
AS SUCH SINCE 2003.
SO, THERE'S A LOT OF WORK
BY PARKS CANADA,
OUR PARTNERS LIKE UNB
AND LOTS OF OTHER GROUPS
TO TRY TO HELP SUPPORT
THIS POPULATION.
AND ONE OF THE BEST
WAYS WE CAN DO THAT
IS BY UNDERSTANDING
WHAT THEIR BEHAVIOUR IS,
SO WE KNOW HOW TO PROTECT THEM
AND WHEN TO PROTECT THEM.
Leo says WHOA. TRYING TO HELP
AN ENDANGERED SPECIES
SOUNDS LIKE A LOT OF WORK.
Becky says PROBLEMS LIKE THIS,
THINGS THAT ARE TRICKY
TO SOLVE AND HAVE A LOT
OF DIFFERENT PIECES,
TAKES A LOT OF PEOPLE WORKING
TOGETHER TO FIGURE THEM OUT.
EXPERTS LIKE KURT.
VISITORS WHO TELL US WHEN
THEY SEE SALMON IN THE RIVERS.
WITHOUT EVERYBODY'S HELP,
WE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO DO
THE WORK THAT WE'RE DOING
TO TRY TO PROTECT
OUR AQUATIC FRIENDS HERE
IN FUNDY NATIONAL PARK.
Leo says TEAMWORK MAKES FOR DREAM WORK.
IF YOU'RE VISITING
THE BAY OF FUNDY NATIONAL PARK,
MAKE SURE YOU LET BECKY
AND HER TEAM KNOW IF YOU SEE
ONE OF THESE BEAUTIES
IN THE RIVER.
GO, TEAM SALMON!

Teacher Steven says BOY, THAT WAS A LOT
OF FISH ON THE MOVE,
AND SPEAKING OF MOVE,
WE'RE GOING TO BE
MOVING ON AS WELL.
HOWEVER, BEFORE WE DO SO,
LET'S LOOK ON MORE TIME
AT OUR PLACE VALUE CHART.
AS A REMINDER, THE SMALLER
NUMBERS START ON THIS END,
AND THEY WORK THEIR WAY ALONG
TO LARGE NUMBERS AT THIS END.
WE DIDN'T REALLY TALK ABOUT
THIS GUY RIGHT HERE TODAY,
BUT WE WILL ANOTHER TIME.
HE'S A FRIEND OF OURS
THAT WE CALL THE DECIMAL.
WE ALSO HAVE TWO OTHER
GROUPS CALLED THE TENTHS
AND THE HUNDREDTHS.
SO, AS I SAID, WE'LL TALK
ABOUT THAT ANOTHER TIME.
SO, I WOULD LOVE TO SAY
THANK YOU, THANK YOU
FROM TEACHER STEVEN
FOR JOINING US ON
THE POWER HOUR TODAY
AND WE'LL SEE YOU
AGAIN NEXT TIME.
A slate reads "Bonus Material."
(music plays)
Agent Olive is around 10, has long straight brown hair in a ponytail and wears a white shirt, a red tie and a blue blazer with an Odd Squad badge.
She says MY NAME IS AGENT OLIVE.
THIS IS MY PARTNER, AGENT OTTO.
Agent Otto is around 11, with short straight brown hair with bangs and wears a white shirt, red tie, blue blazer and an Odd Squad badge.
Olive says THIS ISN'T ANYTHING.
A blank picture appears.
Olive says BUT BACK TO OTTO AND ME.
WE WORK FOR AN ORGANIZATION
RUN BY KIDS
THAT INVESTIGATES ANYTHING
STRANGE, WEIRD,
AND, ESPECIALLY, ODD.
Pictures from the squad's odd missions show an agent shaking hands with a giraffe agent and the team dealing with a one-eyed monster with octopus tentacles.
Agent Olive says OUR JOB
IS TO PUT THINGS RIGHT AGAIN.
WHO DO WE WORK FOR?
WE WORK FOR ODD SQUAD.
The name of the show appears inside a badge. It reads "Odd Squad."
The name of the episode appears on a file. It reads "The trouble with centigurps."
Olive and Otto talk to a man on the street who has a black cloud over his head.
The man says THE WEIRD THING IS,
IS I'M REALLY HAPPY!
Otto says NOT TO WORRY, SIR.
WE GOT THIS.
Otto takes out a gadget and turns the cloud into a sun.
The man says OH! THANK YOU, ODD SQUAD!
Olive says HAVE A GOOD DAY, SIR.
LET'S GO.
The sun says I'M SLAPPY THE SUN,
AND I'LL ALWAYS
BE WITH YOU!
The man says WHAT?
The sun sings SLAPPY AND DEREK,
WE'RE BEST FRIENDS
SLAPPY AND DEREK,
FRIENDSHIP NEVER ENDS
The man says ODD SQUAD!
I CAN'T LIVE LIKE THIS!
The sun says HI, DEREK, I'M SLAPPY! I'M
YOUR NEW BEST FRIEND! HURRAY!
Derek says LOVELY.
The sun says I LOVE YOU!
Derek YEAH, GREAT!
The sun says SLAPPY AND DEREK
Olive and Otto walk in Miss O's office.
Otto says YOU WANTED TO SEE US, MS. O?
Miss O says YES.
SOMETHING VERY ODD HAS HAPPENED.
A GIANT GOLDFISH
IS ATTACKING THE HARBOUR.
OLIVE, ACTIVATE YOUR SUIT
FOR WATER TRAVEL.
Olive says ON IT, MS. O.
She pulls out two straps and the uniform balloons up.
Otto says SO THAT'S WHAT
THESE THINGS DO!
COOL...
Otto watches as Olive waddles out of the office.
Miss O says OTTO!
Otto says OH! YEAH, MS. O.
WHAT HAVE YOU GOT FOR ME?
Miss O gives him a gadget and says TAKE THIS DOWN TO STORAGE.
Otto says BUT THAT'S NOT FAIR...
Miss O says AND WHATEVER YOU DO,
DON'T OPEN IT.
As he takes it downstairs, Otto sighs and says SO UNFAIR.
STICK THE NEW GUY WITH
ALL THE BORING JOBS.
(warbling)
He puts his ear closer to the gadget and says WHAT WAS THAT?
(tinkling)
In a thought bubble, Miss O says WHATEVER YOU DO,
DON'T OPEN IT.
Otto says BUT I WANT TO!
Miss O says DON'T.
Otto says COME ON, JUST A LITTLE PEEK.
Miss O says ENH, GO AHEAD.
I'M JUST A DREAM, ANYWAY.
He opens the gadget and finds a furry creature inside.
He says AWW!
SO CUTE!
Oscar comes along and says CLOSE THAT BOX!
Otto says WHY?
Oscar says IT'S A CENTIGURP! IF
IT'S EXPOSED TO LIGHT TOO LONG,
THAT ONE LITTLE GUY
WILL BECOME...
A hundred centigurp pop out of the gadget and start bouncing around.
Oscar says 100 LITTLE GUYS!
Otto says OH, NO!
Oscar says WE HAVE TO TELL MS. O.
Otto says NO! PLEASE, DON'T!
IF MS. O FINDS OUT
I MESSED THIS UP,
SHE'LL NEVER LET ME
BATTLE A GOLDFISH.
HAVEN'T YOU EVER
MADE A MISTAKE?
Oscar says NOT...
He remembers having a perm and looking into a mirror.
He says OH, YEAH. THAT HAIRCUT
WAS A PRETTY BIG MISTAKE.
I'LL HELP YOU FIND
THE CENTIGURPS.
Otto says THANK YOU. SO, WHAT DO WE DO?
Oscar says WE HAVE TO LOOK FOR SPHERES.
CENTIGURPS LOVE SPHERES. YOU
KNOW, ROUND, BALL-SHAPED
LITTLE OBJECTS?
Otto says YEAH. I KNOW WHERE
TO GO. FOLLOW ME.
Oscar says OKAY!
Inside a ball pit, Oscar says WHERE DID THEY GO? STAY THERE!
Otto says GOT ANOTHER ONE!
Oscar says COME ON, BACK HERE!
Otto says I GOT 4 MORE.
Oscar says THANK YOU.
Back at the lab, Otto says OKAY, SUCK THEM BACK INTO ONE.
Oscar says THAT'S NOT HOW CENTIGURPS
WORK. WE NEED ALL 100.
Otto says HOW MANY DO WE HAVE?
Oscar says UH, 1, 2, 3...
Otto says 1, 2... AH!
Oscar says OR WAS THAT 3?
Otto says 1, 2...
Oscar says TOO MANY! I CAN'T COUNT!
HANG ON!
Oscar leaves the lab and locks Otto in with the creatures.
Otto says NO! WHERE ARE YOU GOING? DON'T
LEAVE ME WITH THESE THINGS!
Oscar says 2, 3...
Otto says AHH!
Oscar says THIS BOX WILL HOLD
10 CENTIGURPS EACH.
IF WE JUST FILL THE BOX,
WE WON'T HAVE TO COUNT,
BECAUSE WE'LL KNOW IT'S 10!
Otto says I CAN'T HEAR WHAT YOU'RE
SAYING, BUT OKAY!
Later, they put the creatures in the boxes.
Oscar says SO WE HAVE 10 IN EACH BOX.
Otto says THAT MEANS WE HAVE
10, 20 30, 40, 50.
50 CENTIGURPS.
Oscar says RIGHT, AND IF WE
STARTED WITH 100
AND NOW WE HAVE 50...
WE HAVE 50 LEFT TO GO.
WE'RE HALFWAY DONE!
Otto says BUT WHERE ARE WE GONNA FIND
OTHER SPHERES?
Oscar says I TEND TO THINK BETTER
WITH GUM. HMM.
Otto says YOU DO!
Oscar says I DO? ...I DO! HEH...
Otto says YOU DO!
Oscar says UH, WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT?
Otto says THAT GUMBALL IS A SPHERE.
WHERE DID YOU GET IT?
Oscar says THERE'S THIS REALLY GOOD
GUMBALL MACHINE IN BELGIUM.
THERE'S ALSO ONE OVER THERE.
They run to the gumball machine and find it filled with centigurps.
Otto says DO YOU HAVE ANY QUARTERS?
Oscar says ALWAYS, HEH!
Miss O comes along and says OSCAR!
Oscar says AHH! UH, MS. O!
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
He steps in front of the gumball machine to cover it.
Miss O says GETTING SOME GUM...
Oscar says UH... HOW ABOUT
SOME CHOCOLATE?
IT'S, UH, WARM AND MELTY
FROM MY POCKET!
Miss O says I WILL SAY THIS: YOU KNOW
HOW I LIKE MY CHOCOLATE.
Miss O goes back to her office.
Oscar says PHEW!
Otto says WELL, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING
FOR? COME HELP ME OUT!
Oscar says SO, WE RAN OUT
OF LARGER BOXES.
Otto says HOW MANY DO WE HAVE NOW?
Oscar says THESE BOXES HOLD 5
CENTIGURPS EACH.
Otto says SO WE COUNT BY FIVES.
Oscar says RIGHT.
SO WE HAVE 50, AND THEN WE COUNT
55, 60,
65, 70, 75, 80.
Otto says COME ON... AW!
STILL NOT 100.
Oscar says THERE'S STILL
SOME MORE OUT THERE.
Otto says WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO DO A LOT
MORE RUNNING AROUND, AREN'T WE?
Oscar says OH, YEAH.
Otto says LET'S GO.
Otto and Oscar go around catching creatures attached to different spheres like globes, stretching balls, and an agent's afro.
Oscar unplugs a huge machine.
Otto says THIS WHOLE THING'S
POWERED BY A CANTALOUPE?
Oscar says OH, YEAH.
(machinery powering up)
As they walk past Agent Orchid's office, they see her playing with a creature.
Oscar says AGENT ORCHID,
WE NEED THAT CENTIGURP,
O'Donahue says THIS IS NOT A CENTIGURP,
THIS IS SHERMAN, AND HE'S MINE.
Otto says NO, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.
Agent Orchid says NO, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!
I'M NOT GIVING HIM TO YOU.
Oscar says WHAT IF WE GAVE YOU
SOMETHING FOR IT?
LIKE THIS YO-YO!
LOOK AT ALL THE TRICKS
THAT YOU CAN DO.
Agent Orchid says I FIND THAT
VERY UNDERWHELMING.
Otto says WHAT DO YOU WANT
FOR THE CENTIGURP?
Agent Orchid says WELL, IF YOU ASKED ME THAT
BEFORE I MET SHERMAN,
I WOULD HAVE TOLD YOU
I NEEDED EVERYTHING.
BUT NOW, I DON'T NEED A THING.
Otto says LOOK. AGENT ORCHID,
I KNOW THIS IS A BIT HARD
FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND,
BUT SHERMAN'S ACTUALLY JUST ONE
OUT OF THE OTHER 100 SHERMANS.
AND I BET HIS BROTHERS AND
SISTERS MISS HIM A WHOLE LOT
AND WISH THEY COULD SEE HIM.
Oscar says HOW ABOUT SOME CASH?
Oscar shows her a briefcase full of cash.
Agent Orchid says OOH!
DEAL!
(Sherman squeaking)
Oscar says LET'S GO.
Otto says THAT WORKS, TOO.
Oscar says OKAY. SO WE HAD 80, AND THEN
WE PUT SOME MORE INTO
THESE BOXES.
Otto says THESE HOLD 2 EACH,
SO I'M JUST COUNTING BY TWOS.
82, 84, 86, 88, 90,
92, 94, 96, 98.
They both say AHH!
Oscar says STILL TWO CENTIGURPS!
Otto says WHERE? WE LOOKED EVERYWHERE!
Oscar says OH, NO!
Otto says WHAT... WHAT?
Oscar says I JUST REMEMBERED WHAT MS. O
BROUGHT FOR LUNCH TODAY!
Otto says WHAT?
Oscar says SPAGHETTI AND...MEATBALLS!
Otto says HMM. THAT SOUNDS DELICIOUS.
Oscar says DON'T YOU GET IT, MAN?
MEATBALLS ARE SPHERES!
I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
Otto says I'LL JUST STAY HERE, THEN!
In her office, Miss O gets ready for lunch.
She leaves it on the table and says OH, JUICE!
Oscar says MADE IT!
Oscar grabs her lunch with the two missing centigurps in it.
Miss O says OSCAR?
Oscar tosses it back and says UH, YEAH, MS. O, WHAT'S UP?
Miss O says DID YOU JUST
THROW MY LUNCH AWAY?
Oscar says I MAKE MISTAKES SOMETIMES...
REMEMBER THAT HAIRCUT?
Miss O says ENOUGH SAID.
Oscar gets out of the office and says DID YOU GET THEM?
Otto says I GOT ONE,
BUT THE OTHER ONE GOT AWAY!
(SQUEAKING FRANTICALLY)
They spot it running through a corridor and say THERE IT IS!
Oscar says IF ONLY WE HAD A SPHERE
TO GET ITS ATTENTION!
Otto gives him the other centigurp and says WE DO.
He pulls the straps on his uniform and it balloons up.
The centigurp screams as he sees the giant sphere.
Otto says COME ON!
COME ON LITTLE CENTIGURP!
OVER HERE! COME ON!
COME ON LITTLE CENTIGURP!
They lure the centigurp into the lab and lock it.
Otto says WE DID IT!
Oscar says YEAH!
Otto dances and says AWESOME, AWESOME... BOOM!
Otto says CHEST BUMP!
Oscar says NO, NO! NO, NO...
Otto says OKAY...
Oscar says WOULD YOU LIKE
TO DO THE HONOURS?
He pushes a button and all the centigurps go back into being one.
Oscar says YOU KNOW, THIS WAS ACTUALLY
ONE OF MY EASIER DAYS.
Now Otto takes the box with the centigurp to storage.
Octavia says HI, OTTO.
Otto says HEY, OCTAVIA...
IS THIS THE STORAGE ROOM?
Octavia says YUP.
Otto says WHERE DO YOU STORE EVERYTHING?
Octavia says IT'S COMPLICATED.
Otto says ANYWAYS, HERE'S
THE CENTIGURP BOX.
Octavia says THANKS.
Otto says NO PROBLEM.
Olive says MS. O HAD YOU DELIVER
A CENTIGURP BOX?
Otto says YEAH. WHY?
Olive says I WAS HERE FOR YEARS AND YEARS
BEFORE MS. O GAVE ME
A JOB LIKE THAT.
SHE MUST REALLY TRUST YOU.
Otto says COOL.
Octavia opens the box and says AWW!
A hundred centigurps go out bouncing around again.
(squeaking)
Octavia says WAIT, NO, COME BACK HERE!
WAIT, NO, THAT'S NOT GOOD!
THAT'S NOT GOOD! HELP!
Music plays as the opening of the Odd Squad Odd Report plays.
Oscar stands next to a wall screen and says GREETINGS, AGENTS. I'M OSCAR,
WITH TODAY'S
ODD REPORT.
O'CONNOR?
A voice says COMIN' AT YA!
Oscar says AS YOU CAN SEE, WE HAVE
A SALSA FRONT MOVING IN
FROM THIS WAY. TOO BAD
IT'S NOT A LITTLE LOWER,
BECAUSE IT'S GONNA MISS THE
GIANT TORTILLA CHIPS DOWN HERE.
THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN DELICIOUS.
ALSO, WE KNOW IT'S GOING TO BE
RAINING CATS AND DOGS.
THE GOOD NEWS IS, WE KNOW
EXACTLY HOW MANY ANIMALS
ARE COMING OUR WAY.
O'CONNOR, IF YOU COULD ZOOM IN?
O'Connor says ZOOMIN' IN!
Oscar says PERFECT! SO, EACH ONE OF
THESE BIG DOG CLOUDS
RAIN EXACTLY 10 DOGS EACH.
SO, INSTEAD OF HAVING TO COUNT
EVERY INDIVIDUAL BIG DOG,
WE CAN JUST COUNT
THE CLOUDS BY 10.
10...WOOF! 20...WOOF! 30...WOOF!...BIG DOGS.
O'Connor says YEAH!
Oscar says AND THE SMALL DOG CLOUDS RAIN
EXACTLY 5 DOGS EACH, SO WE
CAN COUNT BY FIVES.
5...WOOF! 10...WOOF!
15...WOOF! 20...WOOF!...SMALL DOGS.
O'Connor says YEAH!
Oscar says AND THE CAT CLOUDS RAIN 2 CATS
EACH, SO WE COUNT BY TWOS.
2...MEOW! 4...MEOW!
6...MEOW! 8...PURR!
ROWR...
O'Connor says YEAH, CATS!
Oscar says SO TO SUM IT ALL UP, WE'RE
ASKING ALL AVAILABLE AGENTS
TO COME TO THIS SPOT WITH YOUR
DOG AND CAT CATCHINATORS
TO CATCH THE 30 BIG DOGS...WOOF!
20 SMALL DOGS...WOOF!
AND 8 CATS...MEOW!
O'Connor says WRAP IT UP!
Oscar says ALSO, IF ANY AGENTS
WOULD LIKE TO TAKE
ANY OF THESE ANIMALS HOME
AS PETS, THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
SEE, I WOULD, BUT I'VE
STILL GOT MY HANDS FULL
FROM LAST WEEK'S BUNNY STORM...
I NAMED THEM ALL OSCAR JR.
THAT ONE'S MY FAVOURITE.
In her office, Miss O says HAS SOMETHING ODD HAPPENED TO
YOU AT HOME OR IN YOUR SCHOOL?
HAVE YOU TURNED INVISIBLE OR
BEGUN WALKING ON THE CEILING?
ARE THINGS REPEATING
THEMSELVES OVER AND OVER AGAIN?
ARE THINGS REPEATING
THEMSELVES OVER AND OVER AGAIN?
