A female announcer says,
WELCOME TO TVOKIDS
POWER HOUR OF LEARNING.
TODAY’S JUNIOR LESSON.
FOOD: YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT.
Text reads “TVO Power Hour of Learning. Teacher Edition. Today’s Junior Lesson: Food: You are What You Eat!
[Upbeat music plays]
A woman with long, dark brown hair stands in front of a large piece of lined paper. Text on the paper reads “What do plants need to grow?”
Text reads “Junior four to six. Teacher Andrea.”
Teacher Andrea says, HI, EVERYONE.
MY NAME IS TEACHER ANDREA
AND WELCOME TO TVO'S
POWER HOUR OF LEARNING.
I'M SO EXCITED
THAT YOU'RE JOINING ME TODAY
BECAUSE TODAY WE'RE GOING
TO BE EXPLORING FOOD.
NOW, I HAVE A QUESTION
TO ASK YOU.
WHY DO WE NEED FOOD?
I'LL GIVE YOU A MOMENT
TO THINK ABOUT IT.
NOW, IF YOU SAID
IN ORDER TO GROW AND SURVIVE,
YOU'D BE RIGHT.
WITHOUT FOOD, WE WOULDN'T
HAVE THE ENERGY WE NEED
TO MOVE OUR ARMS
OR USE OUR BRAINS TO DO
THE SCHOOLWORK WE NEED TO DO.
NOW, SOME TYPES OF FOOD
THAT WE EAT
ARE ASSOCIATED WITH PLANTS,
LIKE FRUITS AND VEGETABLES.
SO, WHAT KIND OF THINGS DO
PLANTS NEED IN ORDER TO SURVIVE?
THINK ABOUT IT
FOR A MOMENT,
AND WE'RE GONNA DO
A MIND MAP
AND COME UP WITH
SOME ANSWERS TOGETHER.
LET'S GET STARTED.
SO, MY QUESTION IS,
WHAT DO PLANTS NEED TO GROW?
Andrea takes a cap off a marker and writes on the paper.
[Cap clicking]
Andrea writes the word “Plants” in the middle of the page and draws a puffy circle around it.
She says, I HEAR SOME ANSWERS.
IF YOU SAID SUN,
YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.
PLANTS NEED THE SUN
IN ORDER TO GROW.
Andrea draws a line from “Plants” and writes “sun.”
She asks, WHAT ELSE DO YOU THINK
PLANTS MIGHT NEED?
IF YOU SAID WATER,
YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.
Andrea draws a line and writes “water.”
Andrea says, PLANTS ALSO NEED
THE NUTRIENTS FROM THE SOIL.
Andrea draws a line and writes “nutrients from soil.”
She asks, CAN WE THINK OF ANYTHING ELSE
PLANTS MIGHT NEED?
AIR IS RIGHT.
Andrea draws a line and writes “air.”
AND SOMETIMES
WE FORGET THIS,
BUT THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT
FOR PLANTS AS WELL-
PLANTS NEED SPACE.
THEY NEED SPACE
IN ORDER TO GROW.
Andrea draws a line and writes “space.”
GREAT JOB, EVERYONE.
NOW THAT WE'VE TALKED
ABOUT SOME OF THE THINGS
THAT PLANTS NEED
IN ORDER TO GROW,
LET'S TAKE A SNEAK PEEK
AT TVO MPOWER'S GAME
COMMUNITY GARDEN.
An animated sun rises in a blue sky.
Text at the top of a computer game reads “TVO mPower. STEM Challenge: Community Garden.”
[Upbeat music plays]
An animated girl with pigtails stands beside a “Play” button.
Text reads “Design and test a garden that meets the needs of different plants based on different characteristics.”
[Click]
Squares in a garden in the computer game turn from dark brown to light brown. Small green seeds appear in the lighter squares.
[Ting, ting, ting, click, chime]
[Click]
Plants appear in the game garden.
A cursor moves as a player harvests the plants in the game.
[Click, click, click, click]
[Chimes]
[Click]
A new empty garden starts in the game.
The game disappears. Text reads “TVO mPower. Create your free account today.”
The animated sun appears.
Andrea smiles.
Text under Andrea reads “Junior four to six. Teacher Andrea.”
[Upbeat music plays]
Andrea says, NOW THAT YOU'VE HAD
A SNEAK PEEK
AT THE TVO MPOWER GAME
COMMUNITY GARDEN,
LET'S TAKE A LOOK
AT A REAL COMMUNITY GARDEN.
The animated sun shines.
Andrea stands a brick pathway beside a glass railing. She wears her long hair tied back. Plants grow to her left. Andrea waves.
Andrea says, HEY, EVERYONE, AND WELCOME
TO DOWNTOWN TORONTO.
NOW THAT YOU'VE HAD
A SNEAK PEEK
AT THE TVO MPOWER GAME
COMMUNITY GARDEN,
I WANTED TO INTRODUCE YOU
TO MY CONDO'S COMMUNITY GARDEN.
NOW, IN CASE YOU DIDN'T KNOW,
A COMMUNITY GARDEN
IS A LARGE PIECE OF LAND,
USUALLY PUBLICLY
OR PRIVATELY OWNED,
THAT GETS SECTIONED OFF,
AND THE LUCKY PEOPLE
WHO GET A PLOT OF LAND
GET TO GROW WHATEVER FRUITS
AND VEGETABLES THEY LIKE.
NOW, HERE IN MY CONDO,
IN ORDER TO GET
A COMMUNITY PLOT,
YOU PUT YOUR NAME
IN A DRAW
AND THE LUCKY WINNERS GET TO
USE THE LAND FOR THE SUMMER
TO GROW WHATEVER THEY LIKE.
NOW, IN A MOMENT, I'M GONNA
INTRODUCE YOU TO JOSEPH,
WHO IS ONE OF OUR
COMMUNITY GARDENERS
HERE AT THE CONDO.
HE'S GONNA GIVE YOU A TOUR
OF THE KINDS
OF FRUITS AND VEGETABLES
THAT PEOPLE ARE GROWING,
AS WELL AS WHAT HE'S GROWING
IN HIS OWN PLOT.
A man with short hair and a bright white tee-shirt stands by the garden plots.
Joseph says, HI, MY NAME'S JOSEPH,
I'M A GARDENER HERE,
AND WE'RE GONNA START OFF
LOOKING AT THIS GARDEN.
Joseph gestures to small plants. Each has a small tab with a picture showing what the plant is.
He says, WE HAVE PARSLEY
IN THE MIDDLE,
WE HAVE CHERRY TOMATOES
IN THE BACK,
AND RIGHT IN FRONT
WE HAVE BASIL.
AS WE KEEP GOING DOWN...
YOU'LL NOTICE
VARIOUS TYPES OF FLOWERS.
AND HERE WE HAVE ONIONS.
AND HERE WE HAVE PEPPERS.
ONE IS YELLOW,
ONE IS ORANGE.
AND HERE WE HAVE
THE SWISS CHARD.
AND HERE WE HAVE
SOME HOT BANANA PEPPERS.
AND THIS IS MY PRIDE AND JOY,
THE RAPINI PLANT,
SURROUNDED BY SALAD,
PARSLEY,
LETTUCE, ONIONS...
AND SOME MORE PARSLEY.
Joseph gazes proudly at his garden.
He says, THANKS FOR JOINING ME
TODAY ON MY WALK IN THE GARDEN.
The animated sun rises.
[Upbeat music plays]
Andrea stands by a large piece of paper. Text on the paper reads “Food Chains.”
Text under Andrea reads “Junior four to six. Teacher Andrea.”
She says, IN ORDER FOR ANIMALS,
INCLUDING HUMANS, TO SURVIVE,
WE NEED TO CONSUME FOOD.
THAT'S WHERE WE GET
OUR ENERGY FROM.
NOW, THIS FLOW OF ENERGY IS BEST
ILLUSTRATED IN A FOOD CHAIN.
IN A FOOD CHAIN, PLANTS
ARE CLASSIFIED AS PRODUCERS,
AND THIS IS BECAUSE THEY PRODUCE
OR MAKE THEIR OWN FOOD,
AND THEY DO THAT BY TAKING
THE ENERGY FROM THE SUN,
WATER, AND NUTRIENTS
FROM THE SOIL.
ANIMALS, INCLUDING HUMANS,
ARE CLASSIFIED AS CONSUMERS
AND THIS IS BECAUSE WE CONSUME
OR EAT PRODUCERS
OR OTHER CONSUMERS.
LET'S TAKE SOME TIME
TO CONSTRUCT SOME FOOD CHAINS
TO SHOW HOW
THIS FLOW OF ENERGY WORKS.
[Paper shuffling]
Andrea sticks a hand-drawn picture of a plant at the top of her “Food Chain” paper.
She says, LET'S START OFF...
WITH A PICTURE OF A PLANT.
NOW REMEMBER,
PLANTS PRODUCE THEIR OWN ENERGY
FROM THE SUN, WATER, AND SOIL.
SO, THEY ARE CLASSIFIED
AS PRODUCERS.
THEY ARE ALWAYS AT THE BEGINNING
OF A FOOD CHAIN.
SO, LET'S WRITE
"PRODUCER" DOWN.
Andrea writes “Producer” under the plant.
She continues, NOW, ONE CONSUMER OR ANIMAL
THAT MIGHT EAT PLANTS...
IS A RABBIT.
Andrea sticks a drawing of rabbit to the paper beside the picture of the plant.
RABBITS ARE CLASSIFIED
AS CONSUMERS
BECAUSE THEY CONSUME
OR EAT PLANTS IN ORDER TO GET
THEIR ENERGY.
SO, A RABBIT IS A CONSUMER.
Andrea writes “Consumer” under the rabbit.
She says, AND AS THE RABBIT
EATS THE PLANTS,
THE FLOW OF ENERGY GOES
FROM THE PLANT TO THE RABBIT.
Andrea draws an arrow leading from the plant to the rabbit.
Andrea says, SO, WE CAN DRAW
AN ARROW HERE.
NOW, RABBITS CAN ALSO
BE CONSUMED.
Andrea draws an arrow from the rabbit to the empty space beside it.
She says, SO, THE FLOW OF ENERGY
WOULD GO TO THE NEXT CONSUMER.
AND HERE WE HAVE A WOLF.
Andrea holds up a drawing of a wolf. She sticks it to the empty space beside the rabbit.
[Paper flapping]
Andrea explains, WOLVES ARE ALSO CONSUMERS
BECAUSE THEY CONSUME RABBITS.
Andrea writes “Consumer” under the wolf.
She says, AND HERE WE HAVE
OUR COMPLETED FOOD CHAIN.
WE STARTED WITH OUR PLANT,
THE PRODUCER,
BECAUSE THEY PRODUCE
THEIR OWN ENERGY,
A CONSUMER, A RABBIT,
BECAUSE THEY GET ENERGY
FROM THE PLANT BY EATING IT,
SO THEY'RE CLASSIFIED
AS A CONSUMER,
THEN THE WOLF
THAT EATS THE RABBIT,
GETS ITS ENERGY
FROM THE RABBIT,
IS ALSO CONSIDERED
A CONSUMER.
LET'S TAKE A MOMENT
AND DO A COUPLE MORE
FOOD CHAINS TOGETHER,
NOW THAT YOU'RE EXPERTS.
[Shuffling paper]
Andrea holds up a drawing of sunflowers. Bees fly by the flowers.
She says, HERE WE HAVE A PICTURE
OF SOME FLOWERS.
ARE FLOWERS PRODUCERS
OR CONSUMERS?
THINK ABOUT THIS
FOR A MOMENT.
IF YOU SAID PRODUCER,
YOU'RE RIGHT
BECAUSE FLOWERS
MAKE THEIR ENERGY
FROM THE SUN, THE WATER,
AND THE SOIL.
SO, THEY GO AT THE BEGINNING
OF OUR FOOD CHAIN.
Andrea sticks the sunflower on the paper, forming a new row on the paper.
She says, SO, THERE'S OUR FLOWERS,
AND LET'S CLASSIFY THEM
AS PRODUCERS.
She writes “Producers” under the flowers.
Andrea holds a drawing of a horse.
Andrea says, NOW, A HORSE
MIGHT BE OUT GRAZING
AND CONSUME
SOME OF THOSE FLOWERS,
SO OUR HORSE
IS CONSIDERED A CONSUMER,
BECAUSE IT GETS ITS ENERGY
FROM THE FLOWERS.
Andrea sticks the horse beside the flowers. She draws an arrow from the flowers to the horse and labels the horse “Consumer.”
THERE'S OUR HORSE,
AND THE FLOW OF ENERGY
GOES FROM THE FLOWERS,
THE PRODUCERS,
TO THE CONSUMER,
THE HORSE.
AND THERE'S
OUR COMPLETED FOOD CHAIN.
LET'S TRY ONE MORE.
Andrea puts her marker down.
[Bang]
WHAT DO WE CALL
OUR PLANTS AGAIN?
OUR PLANTS ARE PRODUCERS.
Andrea holds up a drawing of a leafy plant. She sticks it on a new line on the paper and writes “Producer” under it and caps her marker.
[Snap]
She says, NOW, THIS IS A SPECIAL TYPE
OF PLANT FOUND IN THE WATER,
SO A CONSUMER
THAT MAY EAT THIS PLANT...
..IS A FISH.
Andrea puts a drawing of a blue fish beside the plant. She draws an arrow from the plant to the fish.
Andrea says, SO, OUR FISH
IS A CONSUMER.
IT GETS ITS ENERGY
FROM THE PLANTS.
Andrea writes “Consumer” beneath the fish.
She explains, AND THE FLOW OF ENERGY GOES
FROM THE PLANT TO THE CONSUMER.
NOW, THE FISH
CAN ALSO BE EATEN,
SO THE FLOW OF ENERGY
WOULD GO TO OUR NEXT CONSUMER.
Andrea draws an arrow from the fish to the empty space beside it and puts the cap on her marker.
[Snap]
She says, AND OUR NEXT CONSUMER
IS A POLAR BEAR.
Andrea sticks a drawing of a polar bear to the empty space beside the fish.
She says, AS THE POLAR BEAR
EATS THE FISH,
IT GETS ITS ENERGY
FROM THE FISH.
Andrea writes “Consumer” beneath the polar bear.
SO, IT'S CONSIDERED
A CONSUMER AS WELL
AND THE FLOW OF ENERGY GOES
FROM THE FISH TO THE POLAR BEAR.
AND HERE'S
OUR FINISHED FOOD CHAINS.
GREAT JOB, EVERYONE!
NOW THAT WE'VE BEEN EXPLORING
OUR FOOD CHAINS,
LET'S DO A LITTLE BIT MORE
EXPLORING ABOUT FOOD.
LET'S JOIN BABOO AND HOWIE
AS THEY EXPLORE A GROCERY STORE.
Andrea smiles.
The animated sun rises.
[Energetic music plays as people whistle]
Puppets of Howie, a boy with dark hair, and Baboo, a monkey, look at the moon. They blast to space in a rocket and watch laundry spin. Howie and Baboo watch a snail move on a leaf.
An animated rainbow stretches across the sky as the Howie and Baboo ride in a hot air balloon.
Text reads “Now You Know. Created by Ben Mazzotta & Maria Kennedy.”
Children shout, NOW YOU KNOW!
[Children giggle]
Howie says, WHERE DOES FOOD COME FROM?
Text reads “Where does food come from?”
Baboo says, YEAH!
Howie wears a white lab coat. He stands beside a machine on a table.
Howie says, I AM THE GREAT AND
BRILLIANT SCIENTIST,
PROFESSOR HOWENSTEIN!
[Chuckling]
Howie laughs, MUAHAHA!
AND TODAY
I WANT TO SHOW YOU
MY LATEST INVENTION!
THE FOODINATOR!
Baboo says, DUN-DUN-DUUUN!
Howie says, WITH THIS INVENTION,
I CAN CREATE ANY FOOD I WISH!
MUAHAHA!
BABOR!
Baboo wears a black eye patch and a brown robe.
Baboo says, YES?
Howie says, HAMBURGER, PLEASE.
Baboo says, OKAY! UH--
Baboo sings, BOOP-BOOP
[Zap]
Howie says, THAT'S STRANGE.
THAT'S NOT
A HAMBURGER.
MORE LIKE
A HAM-BERRY.
TRY AGAIN, BABOR!
Baboo says, OKAY!
Howie laughs, MUAHAHA!
[Zap]
A watermelon with a lemon-like inside appears in the machine.
Howie says, HMM.
I GUESS YOU COULD CALL
THAT ONE A WATER-LEMON.
AGAIN, BABOR!
Baboo says, OKAY!
Baboo sings, BOOP-BOOP
BOOP-BOOP-BOOP
[Zap]
A taco stuffed with chocolate appears.
Howie says, WHOA!
THAT ONE LOOKS
MORE LIKE A--
LIKE A CHOCO-TACO.
Baboo says, OOH, THAT'S A NICE ONE!
[Harp music plays]
Howie and Baboo stand in a kitchen. A box on a table has a drawing of a chocolate-stuffed taco taped to it.
Howie says, HEY, WOULDN'T IT
BE COOL, BABOO,
IF WE COULD
MAKE FOOD APPEAR
RIGHT OUT
OF THIN AIR?
Baboo says, OH, YEAH!
Howie says, WOW.
HEY, DO YOU EVER WONDER
WHERE FOOD
EVEN COMES FROM?
[Chuckles]
Baboo says, YES.
[Tinkling music]
Howie asks, ARE YOU THINKING
WHAT I'M THINKING?
Baboo says, I WANT A CHOCO-TACO.
Howie says, NO!
[Chuckles]
Howie says, TIME TO PUT OUT
A QUESTION ALERT!
Baboo says, YE-BAH!
Howie activates his watch.
[Beep]
Howie says, QUICK! TO THE
SECRET HEADQUARTERS!
Baboo asks, NO CHOCO-TACO?
Howie says, NO TIME FOR THAT.
[Shouting excited gibberish]
Howie laughs, WAHAHAHA!
[Laughing]
[Playful music plays]
Baboo walks into Howie as Howie stops by a computer keyboard.
Howie exclaims, OOH!
Baboo says, WHOA!
Howie says, LET'S SEE YOU ANSWER
THE QUESTION ALERT, BABOO!
Baboo says, OKAY.
Nine children appear on a computer monitor’s screen.
[Upbeat music plays]
The children say,
HI, HOWIE. HI, BABOO.
Howie says, HEY THERE, QUESTIONEERS!
TODAY'S QUESTION IS,
WHERE DOES FOOD COME FROM?
Baboo says, I LIKE TO EAT FOOD.
Howie nods.
A girl with curly hair in pigtails sits in a green square. She says, FOOD COMES FROM THE BAKERY.
A boy with short brown hair in a yellow square says, GROCERY STORES!
A girl wearing a hat in a blue square says, FOOD COMES FROM FARMS.
A girl wearing glasses in a purple square says, WHERE THE CROPS ARE.
A girl with long dark hair stands in a dark green square.
She says, FOOD COMES FROM ANIMALS.
A girl with with braids stands in a bright purple square.
She says, FOOD COMES FROM LAND.
A girl with a ponytail stands in a light blue square. She says, IT COMES FROM TREES,
IT CAN COME FROM LIKE, SOIL.
A boy with short black hair in a green square smiles mischievously and says,
THE KITCHEN.
A girl with black hair stands in a red square and says,
FOOD COMES FROM MY FRIDGE.
Howie says, OH, THOSE WERE SOME
REALLY AWESOME ANSWERS.
Baboo says, YES, THEY WERE.
Howie says, HMM.
I WONDER IF THERE'S
AN EXPERT OUT THERE
WHO COULD HELP US
WITH TODAY'S QUESTION.
Baboo says, I WONDER.
A man appears on Howie’s computer screen. He wears a light blue shirt and a black tie. The man stands by a display cabinet in a grocery store and waves.
He says, HI, YOU TWO!
Howie says, HEY LOOK, IT'S CAMERON!
CAMERON'S THE MANAGER
OF A GROCERY STORE.
HI, CAMERON!
Baboo says, HEY!
Cameron says, I HEAR YOU'RE WONDERING
WHERE FOOD COMES FROM.
Howie says, OH, WE SURE ARE!
Cameron says, WHY DON'T YOU VISIT ME
AT THE GROCERY STORE
AND WE CAN SEE
WHAT WE CAN DISCOVER TOGETHER.
Howie says, OKEE-DOKEE!
WE'LL BE RIGHT THERE.
Baboo laughs, HA-HA!
Howie says, COME ON, BABOO.
Howie and Baboo stand in a grocery store. They look at piles of fruit and vegetables on tables.
Howie says, WOW, LOOK AT THE SIZE
OF THIS PLACE!
Cameron says, HI THERE, YOU TWO.
Howie says, HI, CAMERON.
THANKS FOR HAVING US
HERE TODAY.
Baboo says, UM--
[Throat clears]
Baboo whispers to Howie, BANANAS?
Cameron says, SURE THING, BABOO.
WE DO HAVE BANANAS
IN THE PRODUCE
SECTION, RIGHT NEXT
TO THE APPLES.
[Excited gibberish]
Baboo cheers, WOO-HOO-HOO!
[Running footsteps]
Howie says, UH, HEH.
HE LIKES BANANAS.
[Chuckle]
Howie asks, HEY CAMERON,
HOW MANY DIFFERENT KINDS
OF FOOD DO YOU HAVE HERE?
Cameron says, WE HAVE MANY DIFFERENT
KINDS OF FOODS HERE.
YOU WANNA HAVE A LOOK?
Howie says, OH, YEAH!
Cameron says, LET'S GO.
Howie says, OH, GREAT!
[Upbeat music plays]
Baboo walks past baskets of bread.
He calls, BANANA?
Baboo opens a freezer. He stands by meat.
Baboo says, HMM. HM. HMM.
[Maniacal laughing]
Baboo stands beside a giant stack of bananas.
He says, AAH! OOH-HOO-HOO!
Baboo falls backwards against the stack.
Howie says, SO, THIS IS WHERE
FOOD COMES FROM.
Cameron says, NOT EXACTLY, HOWIE.
ALL THIS FOOD THAT YOU SEE
ON THESE SHELVES
CAME FROM ALL SORTS
OF DIFFERENT PLACES.
[Upbeat music plays]
Green fields surround a barn.
Cameron explains, MOST OF THE FOODS WE GET
LIKE WHEAT, FRUITS,
AND VEGETABLES
ARE GROWN ON FARMS
OR GREENHOUSES.
Rows of plants grow in a green house.
Howie says, AND THEN
THE FOOD COMES HERE.
Cameron says, NOT YET, HOWIE.
MOST OF THESE RAW FOODS
GO TO MANY DIFFERENT FACTORIES
AND TURN INTO OTHER FOODS.
Howie, OH, LIKE WHAT?
A question mark spins.
[Whirling noise]
[Whoosh]
An animated barn and sheaves of wheat push animated bread to the side.
Cameron says, TAKE BREAD FOR INSTANCE.
WHEAT FROM THE FARM
GOES TO A MILL,
WHERE THEY GRIND IT INTO FLOUR.
[Grinding]
THEN IT GOES
TO ANOTHER FACTORY,
An animated sack of flour lands on a conveyor belt.
[Creak]
WHERE THEY BAKE IT
INTO BREAD AND PACKAGE IT.
Howie asks, AND THEN IT COMES HERE?
Cameron says, ALMOST, HOWIE.
ALL THOSE FOODS GO TO OUR
FOOD DISTRIBUTION FACILITY,
WHICH IS A HUGE BUILDING
WHERE OUR TRUCKS ARE LOADED UP
WITH BOXES OF FOOD
TO GO TO ALL OF OUR MANY
GROCERY STORES.
Howie asks, AND THEN THE FOOD
COMES HERE?
Cameron says, THAT'S RIGHT, HOWIE.
THIS IS WHERE WE STOCK
ALL THE FOODS
AND MAKE SURE THAT IT IS FRESH
FOR OUR CUSTOMERS.
WE HAVE FOOD
FROM THE NEARBY FARM
AND ALL AROUND
THE WORLD.
Baboo walks to Howie as he chews a banana. Howie looks from
the banana to Cameron.
Howie says, UM--
I WAS JUST WONDERING
IF MAYBE I COULD--
Cameron says, HELP YOURSELF, HOWIE.
[Excited panting, munching)
Howie bites an apple.
Howie says, MMM. MM! YUMMY. MM.
LET ME SEE IF I HAVE THIS
STRAIGHT, CAMERON.
Cameron says, MM-HM?
Howie says, FOOD STARTS OUT AT FARMS
AND GREENHOUSES,
Cameron nods.
Howie says, AND SOMETIMES THEY TAKE
THAT FOOD TO FACTORIES
TO MAKE IT INTO OTHER FOODS.
THEN IT GETS LOADED
INTO A GREAT BIG BUILDING
AND THEN TRUCKS PICK IT UP,
AND FINALLY, IT COMES HERE
TO THE GROCERY STORE!
Cameron says, YOU GOT IT, HOWIE!
[Chuckle]
Howie asks, HOW 'BOUT YOU?
DO YOU SEE NOW
WHERE FOOD COMES FROM
AND HOW IT GETS
TO THE GROCERY STORE?
YOU DO? GREAT!
WELL, NOW YOU KNOW!
Baboo says, BA-NA-NA-NA!
[Laughing]
Male voices sing, ASK, ASK, ASK-ASK A QUESTION
FIND, FIND, FIND-FIND AN ANSWER
NOW, NOW, NOW-NOW-NOW-NOW YOU KNOW CONCLUSION!
ASK, ASK, ASK-ASK A QUESTION
FIND, FIND, FIND-FIND AN ANSWER
NOW, NOW, NOW-NOW-NOW-NOW YOU KNOW
Howie says, NOW YOU KNOW!
[Upbeat music and whistling plays]
Howie leans against a grocery store checkout counter.
Howie says, AND REMEMBER,
YOU CAN'T GET AN ANSWER
UNLESS YOU ASK A QUESTION.
SO KEEP ASKING QUESTIONS, OKAY?
[Chuckle]
[Humming]
Baboo pushes a grocery cart full of apples and bananas.
Howie says, WHOA, BABOO!
THAT'S A LOT OF APPLES AND BANANAS!
Baboo says, MMM, JACKPOT!
[Chuckling, giggling]
[Upbeat and whistling music plays]
End credits roll.
Text reads
“Director: Ben Mazzotta.
Producers: Ben Mazzotta, Maria Kennedy.
Howie: Frank Meschkuleit.
Baboo: Marty Stelnick.”
The animated sun shines.
Andrea stands by a wall.
Text reads “Primary four to six. Teacher Andrea.”
[Upbeat music plays]
Andrea says, NOW, THE GROCERY STORE IS ONE
PLACE WHERE WE CAN FIND FOOD,
BUT WE CAN ALSO FIND FOOD
AT A RESTAURANT.
LET'S JOIN THE CANADA CREW-
BEBE AND MO, AS THEY VISIT SUSUR LEE
AT HIS RESTAURANT.
[Humming]
Bebe, a brown beaver, stirs liquid in a pot on a stove. A brown moose opens a door and walks into a room. He closes the door.
[Slam]
Mo the moose says, HIYA, BEBE!
Bebe the beaver says, OH, HEY, MO.
[Sniff]
Mo says, MMM! WHAT SMELLS SO GOOD?
Bebe says, JUST MAKING MY
WORLD FAMOUS BEBE STEW.
Mo says, OOH, SOUNDS YUMMY!
BUT WHAT'S IN IT?
Bebe says, ONLY THE FINEST
INGREDIENTS.
ONE PART LEAVES--
Mo says, OOH, I LOVE LEAVES!
MMM.
Bebe says, --TWO PARTS GRASS--
Mo says, MMM, GRASS!
Bebe says, --A PINCH
OF SHRUBBERY--
[Splash]
Mo says, OH, BOY.
MY MOUTH IS TOTALLY
WATERING NOW!
Bebe says, --AND THE MAIN INGREDIENT--
Mo says, MM-HM?
Bebe says, --BARK.
Mo recoils and says, OGH!
Bebe says, IT'S A BEAVER'S
FAVOURITE FOOD, YOU KNOW.
Mo shakes his head and says, UGH.
Bebe asks, YOU WANT SOME?
Mo says, UH, NO THANKS.
Bebe says, MORE FOR ME.
Bebe eats bark.
[Crunching]
Mo, Bebe, and Gavin the Canada goose pose for pictures in each province and territory in Canada.
[Upbeat music plays]
A woman sings, NOVA SCOTIA, PEI
NEW BRUNSWICK,
NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR
QUEBEC, ONTARIO, MANITOBA
AND THERE ARE MORE
BC, ALBERTA, SASKATCHEWAN
NORTHWEST TERRITORIES,
NUNAVUT, YUKON
BEBE, MO, AND GAVIN
WE'RE THE CANADA CREW
LET'S GO EXPLORE CANADA TOO
CANADA CREW!
[Slide whistle]
Text reads “Food.”
Bebe says, FOOD
[A loon calls]
A Canadian flag waves over a beaver lodge.
Mo looks at a tablet.
Mo says, OH, NICE!
Bebe asks, WHAT YA
LOOKIN' AT, MO?
WELL, ALL THIS TALK OF FOOD
HAS MADE ME WONDER-
WHAT KINDS OF FOODS
ARE GROWN IN CANADA?
Bebe asks, OH, YEAH?
Mo says, YEAH!
Bebe asks, OH, WHAT DID YOU FIND?
Mo says, WELL, CHECK IT OUT.
Bebe says, OKAY.
On the tablet, a combine harvests a field of wheat.
Mo says, THERE ARE FIELDS
AND FIELDS OF WHEAT
IN THE PROVINCE
OF SASKATCHEWAN.
[Whoosh]
Saskatchewan is highlight in yellow on a map of Canada.
Bebe says, BUT YOU CAN'T EAT WHEAT,
CAN YOU?
Mo says, NO, BUT IF YOU
GRIND IT UP--
Bebe says, UH-HUH?
Mo continues, --YOU GET FLOUR,
WHICH IS USED TO MAKE
ALL KINDS OF THINGS,
LIKE BREAD AND PASTA,
PASTRIES AND EVEN CAKES.
Bread, pasta, a croissant and a cake appear on the tablet.
[Pop, pop, pop, boing]
[Chuckling]
Bebe says, MMM! CAKES!
Mo says, MM-MM-MM!
[Laugh]
Potatoes appear on the tablet screen.
Mo says, THERE ARE POTATOES
THAT COME
FROM THE PROVINCE
OF PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND.
Prince Edward Island is highlighted on a map of Canada.
[Squeak]
Bebe says, OH, POTATOES ARE THE BEST!
Mo says, CHECK IT OUT-POTATO FACE!
Mo draws a happy face with his finger on one of the potatoes.
[Giggling]
Blueberries grow on bushes in a photo on the tablet.
[Swipe]
Mo says, OH, AND WILD BLUEBERRIES
THAT CAN BE FOUND
ALL OVER THE MARITIME PROVINCES,
As Mo lists provinces, they are highlighted on a map of Canada’s east coast.
[Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh]
Mo says, LIKE NEWFOUNDLAND
AND LABRADOR, NOVA SCOTIA,
AND NEW BRUNSWICK!
Bebe says, OH, BLUEBERRIES
ARE ONE OF MY FAVOURITES!
EXCEPT FOR BARK, THAT IS.
Bebe draws a heart over the blueberries.
[Squeaking]
[Giggle]
Mo says, I KNOW.
[Slide whistle]
[Squawking alarm]
Bebe says, HEY, YOU KNOW WHAT
THAT SOUND MEANS-
IT'S GAVIN CALLING!
Mo says, YEAH! I WONDER WHERE
HE'S CALLING FROM TODAY.
Mo touches a picture of Gavin on the tablet.
[Beeping]
Gavin stands waist-deep in red berries. He eats a few.
He says, MM, MM.
OH HEY, YOU TWO!
Bebe, HI, GAVIN.
WHERE ARE YOU
CALLING FROM?
Gavin says, WELL, TODAY I'M ON
A CRANBERRY FARM
IN THE PROVINCE
OF NEW BRUNSWICK.
New Brunswick turns yellow on a red map of Canada.
[Boing]
Bebe says, OH, SO THAT'S WHAT'S
FLOATING AROUND YOU.
Gavin says, THAT'S RIGHT!
[Chuckling]
Gavin says, FUN FACT!
Text reads “Fun Fact.”
[Whoosh]
Gavin says, THE PROVINCE
OF NEW BRUNSWICK
IS ONE OF THE LARGEST PRODUCERS
OF CRANBERRIES IN CANADA.
Red cranberries cover the province on the map.
[Popping]
Mo asks, DO CRANBERRIES
GROW IN WATER?
Gavin says, IT APPEARS THAT WAY,
BUT THEY ACTUALLY GROW
ON PLANTS LIKE THESE FIRST.
THEN WHEN THE CRANBERRIES
ARE NICE AND RIPE,
THE FARMERS FLOOD
THE WHOLE AREA WITH WATER,
MAKING ALL THOSE JUICY
CRANBERRIES FLOAT TO THE TOP.
MAKES THEM MUCH EASIER
TO COLLECT.
HEH HEH!
DON'T YOU JUST
LOVE CRANBERRIES?!
Bebe says, OH, YEAH!
I JUST LOVE
CRANBERRY JUICE!
Mo says, I LOVE CRANBERRY MUFFINS!
Bebe says, OH, OH, AND CRANBERRY SAUCE.
Gavin says, YET ANOTHER TASTY AND HEALTHY
FOOD GROWN RIGHT HERE IN CANADA.
Gavin throws a cranberry in the air and eats it.
[Slide whistle]
Gavin says, MMM, MMM!
YUMMY GOODNESS.
Bebe says, OKAY, GAVIN. BYE!
Mo says, BYE.
[Rumbling stomach]
Bebe says, WHOA. YOU SOUND HUNGRY, MO!
Mo nods as he says, MM-HM.
Bebe says, I KNOW JUST THE PERSON
WHO CAN HELP US OUT.
Bebe and Mo run beside a steel counter in a large kitchen.
Bebe says, HEY, CHEF LEE!
Chef Lee says, HEY, MO! HEY, BEBE.
HOW ARE YOU?
[Stomach rumbles loudly]
Mo says, UGH.
Chef Lee says, MO, YOU SOUND
REALLY HUNGRY.
Bebe says, THAT'S WHY WE CAME
TO SEE OUR FAVOURITE CHEF.
YOU THINK YOU COULD,
YOU KNOW--
--MAKE US SOMETHING
SUPER-DUPER DELICIOUS TODAY?
Chef Lee, I'M GOING TO MAKE YOU
MY FAMOUS SLAW.
WHAT DO YOU SAY?
Mo says, SOUNDS SCRUMPTIOUS!
Chef Lee gestures towards bowls of noodles, nuts and shredded vegetables.
He says, WELL YOU KNOW,
ALL THESE INGREDIENTS
YOU CAN GROW IN CANADA.
Mo says, OH, COOL!
SO, HOW'S THIS WORK?
Chef Lee says, I'M GOING TO FIRST PUT
SOME CRISPY NOODLE IN FIRST.
Mo says, OOH-HOO-HOO!
Bebe says,
AH, MY MOUTH
IS WATERING ALREADY!

IT'S NOT FINISHED YET.
WELL, I'M GOING TO PUT
SOME FRESH VEGETABLES ON TOP.
Mo says, IT LOOKS GREAT.
HERE I GO!
Chef Lee says, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.
IT'S NOT READY YET!
TAKE YOUR TIME,
TAKE YOUR TIME.
I'M GOING TO PUT
SOME MIXED NUTS IN.
AND THEN AFTER THAT,
THE FRESH HERBS FROM THE GARDEN.
LOOK AT THAT.
He pours dressing on top of the slaw.
He says, AND THEN I'M PUTTING
THE DRESSING ON THE TOP.
Bebe says, MMM! AH.
Chef Lee says, AND OF COURSE,
ANOTHER PART-
SOME CRISPY POTATOES.
SESAME SEEDS.
Mo says, WOW!
Chef Lee says, AND THEN,
EDIBLE CONFETTIS.
LOOK AT THAT.
Bebe says excitedly, AH, WOW,
THAT'S SO COLOURFUL!
Chef Lee says, AND THEN, WELL,
I'M JUST GOING TO MIX
THE SALAD VERY WELL.
Mo says,
OH! MIXY-MIXY TIME.
IS IT OKAY IF WE HAVE
A LITTLE TASTE NOW, CHEF LEE?
Chef Lee says, IT'S READY.
YOU CAN DIG IN!
[Gasping, panting]
[Aggressive munching]
Chef Lee watches as food flies up in the air around him.
He crosses his arms and laughs.
[Laughing]
Bebe says, UM-- MM. THAT WAS DELISH!
[Chuckling]
Mo says, I'LL SAY!
THANKS SO MUCH
FOR MAKING THAT YUMMY DISH
FOR US, CHEF LEE!
Chef Lee says, HEY GUYS, YOU'RE WELCOME
ANY TIME IN MY KITCHEN!
Bebe says, WE'RE SO LUCKY TO HAVE
ALL THESE REALLY AMAZING
FOODS IN CANADA, EH, MO?
Mo says, YEAH, AND REALLY
AMAZING PEOPLE TOO.
Bebe asks, FEELING BETTER, MO?
Mo says, OH, YEAH.
THAT REALLY HIT THE--

Andrea says, LIKE SUSUR LEE,
PERHAPS YOU'VE DREAMED OF
BEING A CHEF AND FEEDING PEOPLE.
LET'S TAKE A MOMENT
TO MEET CHARLIE,
WHO DREAMS
OF ONE DAY BEING A CHEF.
Andrea smiles.
The animated sun appears.

He holds up a whisk and egg yolks wiggle around him.
[Ding]
Charlie wears a space helmet and walks on a drawing of the moon.

Charlie puts vegetables, fruit and cheese on the counter.
[Boing, boing, boing, boing]
He says, MY KITCHEN WOULD BE FULL
OF DIFFERENT KINDS
OF INGREDIENTS
I WOULD NEED FOR COOKING-
DIFFERENT KINDS
OF FOODS AND SPICES.
[Boing, boing, boing, boing]
Charlie stands in front of a bowl.
He says, I'D PUT ALL THE VEGETABLES
INTO A BIG BOWL.
Charlie blows a kiss. Hearts appear around him as he smiles.
[Kiss noise, ding]
MMM, BROCCOLI AND CHERRY
TOMATOES ARE DELICIOUS!
I'D MAKE A SALAD
FOR MY FRIEND DANNY.
I'D RIP UP THE SALAD
INTO SMALL PIECES.
THEN TOSS EVERYTHING
TOGETHER!
Charlie throws the bowl into the air and catches it.
He shakes shakers over the bowl and grinds a pepper mill.
[Shaking, grinding]
Charlie says, AND OF COURSE,
ADD SOME FETA CHEESE ON TOP. MMM!
Charlie dips his finger into food and smiles. He skips along a drawn path. A purple goat walks behind him, pulling a wagon full of salad.
[Sliding, bird chirps]
Charlie says, OFF TO DANNY'S HOUSE
TO DELIVER MY FOOD.
Red eyes glow in a dark cave.
Charlie says, DANNY IS A DRAGON.
[Ding, munching]
Danny, a red dragon, eats salad.
Charlie says, DIG IN, DANNY!
YOUR FAVOURITE.
[Imitating dragon munching, burping]
Danny licks his lips.
Charlie says, DANNY NEEDS TO LEARN
SOME MANNERS.
WHEN DANNY HAS A PARTY
FOR ALL OF HIS DRAGON FRIENDS,
IT'S MY JOB AS A THE CHEF
TO COOK UP THE FEAST.
Charlie flips an egg up in the air from his frying pan. The egg lands on his hat.
[Slide whistle, horn]

BA, BA-DA BA-DA
BA, BA-DA BA-DA
CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT?
Animated stars twinkle.
[Twinkling noise]
Charlie says, I'M CHARLIE AND I'M A CHEF.
IMAGINE THAT!
[Energetic music plays]
End credits roll.
[Bleating]
[Upbeat music plays]
Andrea stands by a wall.
Text reads “Primary four to six. Teacher Andrea.”
Andrea says, NOW, IT'S IMPORTANT
TO REMEMBER,
NO MATTER WHERE
YOU GET YOUR FOOD-
WHETHER IT'S
AT THE GROCERY STORE
AND YOU PREPARE IT YOURSELF,
OR YOU GO TO A RESTAURANT
TO EAT, YOU HAVE TO HAVE
A BALANCED DIET.
NOW LET'S JOIN ZOEY
AS SHE GOES EXPLORING
AND DISCOVERS
THE ORIGINS OF FOOD.
The animated sun rises.
An animated question mark rides a unicycle past a house. The question mark carries a flag with a question mark on it.
[Squeaking wheel, dog barking, squeaking shoe]
[Cheerful music plays]
Zoey has long dark hair. She picks up a ukulele and strums it.
Zoey sings, MY NAME IS ZOEY
AND THIS IS MY SHOW
I'M FINDING STUFF OUT
THAT YOU WANT TO KNOW
JUST ASK ME A QUESTION
THAT I DON'T KNOW
THAT'S WHY FINDING STUFF OUT
IS THE NAME OF THE SHOW
SO JUST GIVE ME A SHOUT
AND WE'LL FIGURE IT OUT
WITH THE HELP
OF SOME FRIENDS
AND THE FUN NEVER ENDS
[Chime, party horn]
She sings, AWW!
FINDING STUFF OUT
FINDING STUFF OUT
FINDING STUFF OUT
THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT
YEAH
[Chimes]
Zoey pushes a wheelbarrow. She wears a red helmet and red oven mitts. Rope, a hockey stick, blue helmet and baseball bat fill the wheelbarrow.
Zoey says, HEY. GUESS WHAT
ALL THIS STUFF'S FOR.
I'VE DECIDED TO GROW
MY OWN LUNCH.
AN EGG SALAD SANDWICH
WITH TOMATOES AND LETTUCE.
An animated sandwich floats by Zoey’s head.
Zoey says, OKAY,
I'M NOT EXACTLY SURE
WHAT A FARMER'S
SUPPOSED TO WEAR,
OR WHAT A FARMER'S
SUPPOSED TO USE.
ANYWAY- WHY AM I
GROWING MY OWN LUNCH?
TO ANSWER
A SERIOUS QUESTION.
[Beeping]
Zoey turns on a television. A girl with dark hair frowns.
Text beneath her reads “Sara.”
Sara asks, IF THERE WERE
NO GROCERY STORES,
WHERE WOULD WE GET FOOD?
Zoey says,
GOOD QUESTION.
The question mark rides its bike.
[Squeaking tire]
A man pushes a shopping cart down an aisle in a grocery store.
Zoey says, THAT MAKES ME WONDER-
WHERE DOES FOOD COME FROM
IN THE FIRST PLACE?
Zoey holds up uncooked spaghetti.
She asks, LIKE, WHERE WOULD I
GET SPAGHETTI FROM?
A NOODLE TREE?
An animated tree waves.
[Shaking, ding]
Zoey says, THAT DOESN'T SOUND RIGHT,
BUT EVERYTHING YOU GET
FROM THE GROCERY STORES,
INCLUDING JUNK FOOD-
LIKE CHIPS, DOUGHNUTS,
OR HOTDOGS,
Zoey holds up a bowl of chips and a doughnut. A third arm appears from her right shoulder and holds up a hotdog in a bun.
[Slide whistle, slide whistle, slide whistle]
She continues, HAVE TO BE MADE FROM STUFF
THAT WAS GROWN BY A FARMER SOMEWHERE.
An animated farm rides a tractor. He drops seeds and plants grow right away.
[Popping]
Hotdogs, doughnuts and bags of chips grow on the plants.
[Giggling]
[Upbeat music plays]
Zoey says, WHAT WOULD WE DO IF WE COULDN'T
GET FOOD FROM GROCERY STORES?
WOULD WE GROW IT OURSELVES?
I'M GONNA GIVE IT A TRY,
AND BY THE END
OF THE SHOW,
I'LL HAVE THE ANSWER
TO SARA'S QUESTION.
BUT FIRST,
BRENNA HAS A QUESTION
THAT TAKES US RIGHT BACK
TO THE BEGINNING OF IT ALL.
Zoey points her remote at the television.
Brenna has light brown hair. Text beneath her reads “Brenna.”
Brenna asks, WHO INVENTED FOOD?
Zoey holds a caveman doll. The doll stands by three bushes, one with blue beads, one with red beads and one with yellow beads.
Zoey uses a cave man voice and says, OOH, BERRIES ARE DELICIOUS!
BUT WE DON'T KNOW
IF THEY ARE POISON!
OGH, ME HAVE IDEA!
WATCH ANIMALS AND SEE
WHICH BERRIES THEY EAT!
A monkey doll hoots. It leans over the bush with the blue beads.
[Hooting]
Zoey’s caveman says, OOH, MONKEY
IS EATING BERRIES!
HE SEEMS OKAY!
NOW ME EAT BERRIES.
[Munching]
The caveman says, MMM, YUMMY!
BERRIES NOT POISONOUS,
BUT ME EAT TOO MANY!
TUMMY ACHE, AGH!
[Giggling]
Zoey says, ANCIENT HUMANS MAY HAVE FIGURED
OUT WHAT FOODS WERE SAFE TO EAT
BY WATCHING ANIMALS
AND COPYING THEM.
BUT IT WASN'T ALWAYS THE BEST IDEA,
BECAUSE SOME ANIMALS EAT THINGS
THAT CAN MAKE PEOPLE SICK.
THEN ABOUT EIGHT THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED YEARS AGO,
SOMEONE HAD A CRAZY IDEA TO COLLECT SEEDS
AND PLANT THEM IN THE GROUND
An animated woman plants seeds. Plants grow immediately.
[Popping]
AND SEE IF THEY WOULD GROW,
AND THEY DID.
The animated woman says, WOOHOO!
Zoey says, I FOUND OUT IT WAS
THE VERY BEGINNING OF FARMING,
AND IT CHANGED EVERYTHING,
BECAUSE PEOPLE DIDN'T HAVE TO
WANDER AROUND LOOKING FOR FOOD.
THEY COULD START VILLAGES.
AS PEOPLE DISCOVERED
HOW TO GROW NEW FOODS,
THEY STARTED TO TRADE
WITH OTHER VILLAGES.
SOON, EVERYONE HAD A LOT OF
DIFFERENT KINDS OF FOODS TO EAT.
NOW, FOR MY EGG SALAD SANDWICH,
I'LL DEFINITELY NEED
SOME EGGS.
I JUST HAVE TO FIND
SOME CHICKENS.
BUT FIRST, HERE'S A GREAT
CHICKEN QUESTION FROM VANESSA.
[Bells ring]
Vanessa appears on Zoey’s laptop computer screen. Vanessa wears her long dark hair pulled back. Text beneath her reads “Vanessa.”
Vanessa asks, WHY DO CHICKENS LAY
DIFFERENT COLOURED EGGS?
'CAUSE I'VE SEEN BROWN EGGS
AND WHITE EGGS.
THAT'S A TOUGH EGG TO CRACK,
VANESSA, BUT I HAVE SOME EGG-SPERTS
WHO CAN ANSWER YOUR QUESTION.
[Squeak of door hinge]
PLEASE WELCOME
CHICKEN FARMERS
KATE BELBECK
AND HER SON FLETCHER.
[Ukulele strumming]
Kate and Fletcher wear blue shirts. Kate has dark hair and carries a white chicken. Fletcher has short blond hair and carries a brown chicken.
Kate says, HEY, ZOEY.
I HEARD YOU NEEDED
SOME EGG LAYERS
FOR YOUR SANDWICH.
Zoey says, YOU BROUGHT CHICKENS?
HI, CHICKENS!
[Cluck]
Zoey says, YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE
CHICKEN AROUND ME.
THIS IS SO EGG-CITING.
GET IT?
EGG-CITING?
SO, DO YOU OFTEN
LEND CHICKENS TO PEOPLE?
Kate says, WE DO.
WE ACTUALLY RENT CHICKENS
TO PEOPLE
WHO WANT TO HAVE
THEIR OWN FRESHLY LAID
EGGS ALL SUMMER.
The chickens walk in hay around a chicken coop in Zoey’s attick.
Zoey says, THIS IS AWESOME!
CAN I NAME THEM?
Fletcher says, YES. IT'S OKAY
FOR YOU TO NAME THEM.
WE LET EVERYONE
NAME THEM.
Zoey says, OH, BOY.
I'LL NAME THAT ONE MOLLY,
THAT ONE
PRINCESS PUMPERNICKEL,
THAT ONE PIPSQUEAK,
AND THAT ONE CLUCKY.
SO, WHY DO CHICKENS LAY
DIFFERENT COLOURED EGGS?
Kate explains, IN THE BEGINNING,
ALL EGGS ARE WHITE
INSIDE THE CHICKEN
AND DIFFERENT BREEDS
WILL LAY DOWN
A DIFFERENT COLOUR OR PIGMENT
IN THE LAST FEW HOURS
BEFORE THEY'RE LAID.
Fletcher says, THESE THREE CHICKENS HERE
LAY BROWN EGGS,
AND THE CHICKEN
OVER THERE,
SHE WILL LAY BLUE EGGS.
IF YOU GET A CROSS BETWEEN
THE BROWN EGG LAYERS
AND THE BLUE EGG LAYERS,
YOU CAN GET A GREEN EGG
FROM THEM.
Zoey asks, GREEN EGGS?
IS THAT WHERE GREEN EGGS
AND HAM COME FROM?
[Drum rim shot, Chuckling]
Zoey asks, SO, ARE BLUE EGGS
BLUE INSIDE?
Kate says, ACTUALLY, NO.
THEY'RE ALL THE SAME
INSIDE THE SHELL.
Zoey asks, SO, WHAT DO THEY EAT?
Kate holds out a bag of grain.
[Bag crinkling]
Kate says, WELL, THEY ACTUALLY EAT
THIS GRAIN FOOD
THAT'S JUST A MIX
OF GRAINS ALL CRUMBLED UP.
Fletcher says, SO, HOW YOU FEED THEM
IS YOU JUST GET A BIT OF FOOD
AND YOU CAN SPRINKLE IT
ON THE GROUND, AND THEY'LL
EVENTUALLY EAT IT.
Chickens peck at the grains on the ground.
Zoey asks, HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE
FOR THEM TO LAY EGGS?
A COUPLE WEEKS?
Fletcher says, NO, NOT EVEN CLOSE.
THEY'LL ALL LAY
ONE EGG A DAY,
STARTING RIGHT AWAY.
Zoey says, THAT MEANS I'M GONNA HAVE
FOUR EGGS TODAY!
Kate says, I HOPE YOU LIKE OMELETS.
Zoey says, FOUR EGGS A DAY? THAT'S--
Zoey taps on her handheld device.
[Beeping]
Zoey continues, --TWENTY-EIGHT EGGS A WEEK!
AND THEN I'LL HAVE--
(BEEPING)
Zoey says, --ONE HUNDRED AND TWELVE EGGS A MONTH!
AND THEN I'LL HAVE--
[Beeping]
Zoey says, ONE THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED AND FORTY-FOUR EGGS A YEAR!
THAT MEANS I'LL HAVE—
[Beeping]
Zoey says, SIX HUNDRED AND SEVENTY TWO EGG SALAD SANDWICHES!
The room shakes as Zoey yells.
[Rumbling]
She yells, AHH! SO MANY SANDWICHES!
AHHH!
[Squawking]
[Squeaking]
Zoey shouts, YOU'RE GONNA MAKE MY HEAD EXPLODE!
[Popping]
Text reads “You’re gonna make my head explode.”
[Sighing]
Zoey says, I'M GONNA HAVE TO GET CRACKIN'.
A chicken says, I'M GONNA HAVE TO GET LAYIN'!
Zoey says, THANKS FOR LENDING ME
YOUR CHICKENS, GUYS.
I'LL TAKE EGG-CELLENT CARE OF THEM.
Kate says, NO PROBLEM, ZOEY.
WE KNOW YOU'LL BE AN
EGG-CEPTIONAL CHICKEN HANDLER.
[Chuckling]
[Rooster crowing]
The sun rises over dark trees.
Zoey gathers eggs from her chicken coops.
She says, CLUCKY, PUMPERNICKEL!
SUCH BEAUTIES.
[Clucking]
Zoey turns on her laptop computer. Nine children appear in squares across the screen. Text reads “Ask a Friend.”
[Beeping]
Children’s voices say ASK A FRIEND
HEY, GUYS.
WHAT ARE YOUR FAVOURITE FOODS
THAT ARE MADE WITH EGGS?
Children give different answers, EGGS WITH TOAST.
HARDBOILED EGGS.
AN EGG SANDWICH.
EGG SALAD AND TUNA SANDWICH.
CAKE.
OMMELETS BECAUSE THEY TASTE REALLY GOOD.
PANCAKES.
I LIKE AN OVER EASY WITH SOME BACON ON THE SIDE.
EGG SANDWICH AND EGG SALAD.
EGG SANDWICH BUT WITH LIKE, KETCHUP AND UH, BROCCOLI.
Zoey says, HMM. I'LL TRY THAT.
NOW, WHAT ELSE DO I NEED
FOR MY SANDWICH
BESIDES EGGS?
Zoey looks up “Sandwich Recipes.”
[Chime]
She says, OH YEAH, BREAD!
I ACTUALLY GOT
A QUESTION ABOUT BREAD.
A girl with long light brown hair wears a head band.
Text beneath her reads “Auxance.”
Auxance asks, WHERE DOES BREAD COME FROM?
[Ding]
Zoey says, THAT GIVES ME
A GREAT IDEA FOR--
[Fanfare plays on trumpets]
Animated Zoey spins the globe on her finger. Text reads “My Great Challenge.”
Zoey announces, MY GREAT CHALLENGE
She says, TODAY WE'RE PLAYING—WHAT’S THAT FOOD MADE FROM?
Text reads “what’s that food made from?”
Zoey says, MELISSA, CHIARA,
YOU'RE TEAM LUNCH.
A blonde-haired girl and black-haired girl high five.
[hands smack]
They say, YAY!
Zoey says, DANIELLE, ANDREAS,
YOU'RE TEAM CRUNCH.
A boy with glasses and a boy with short hair high five.
[Hands smack]
They say, YEAH! YEAH!
Zoey says, EACH TEAM WILL HAVE TO MATCH UP
EACH OF THE FAMILIAR FOODS
OVER HERE ON THE TABLES
WITH THE PLANT OR ANIMAL
THAT THEY'RE MADE FROM,
OVER THERE.
A red table has bowls and bottles of food. Another table has pictures of plants and animals.
Zoey says, LET'S PULL NOODLES
TO SEE WHO GOES FIRST.
Zoey compares the length of uncooked spaghetti noodles.
She says, OKAY, MUNCH,
YOU GUYS ARE GOING FIRST.
GET MATCHING!
Chiara says, SO, DO WE TAKE
THE CHOCOLATE FIRST?
UM, WHERE DID IT GO?
Melissa says, THERE?
Chiara says, SORTA LOOK
LIKE COCOA BEANS.
YEAH, I THINK
IT GOES HERE.
GOES THERE.
A green check mark appears.
[Chime]
Zoey says,
THAT'S RIGHT.
CHOCOLATE IS MADE
BY ROASTING THE BEANS
FROM INSIDE THIS
WEIRD-LOOKING COCOA PLANT POD.
A man chops a cocoa pod off a tree.
[Chop]
Zoey says, TEAM CRUNCH, GO.
TEAM CRUNCH
SELECTED THE POPCORN
AND THEY'RE MATCHING IT
WITH THE CORN,
AND THEY'RE RIGHT.
A green checkmark appears.
[Chime]
Zoey says, HEAT UP DRIED CORN KERNELS
AND THEY BECOME POPCORN.
Chiara says, THIS SHOULD GO--
THE CINNAMON STICKS.
I THINK
IT GOES THERE.
Melissa says, OKAY.
Zoey says, THEY'RE MATCHING THE CINNAMON
STICKS WITH THE SUGARCANE,
AND THAT'S NOT RIGHT.
[Buzz]
A boy says,
THE LOLLIPOP.
Zoey sarys, TEAM CRUNCH IS MATCHING THE
LOLLIPOP WITH THE SUGARCANE.
THAT'S RIGHT!
LOLLIPOPS ARE MOSTLY
MADE OF SUGAR,
WHICH IS MADE BY BOILING THIS
TALL GRASS CALLED SUGARCANE.
Melissa says, BREAD MAYBE?
Chiara says, OKAY.
Melissa says, YEAH, IT GOES HERE.
A green checkmark appears.
[Chime]
A boy mutters, PEANUT BUTTER
SHOULD GO ON--
A green checkmark appears.
[Chime]
Zoey says, THAT'S RIGHT.
PEANUT BUTTER'S MADE
WITH PEANUTS,
WHICH GROWS UNDERGROUND ON
THE ROOTS OF THE PEANUT PLANT.
Chiara and Melissa say, CHEESE.
Chiara says, I'M SURE IT GOES
WITH THE COW.
Melissa says, YEAH.
A green checkmark appears.
[Chime]
Zoey says, THAT WAS AN EASY ONE.
A boy says, CHEESE.
A green checkmark appears.
[Chime]
Zoey says, REAL EASY.
Chiara says, I THINK THE MAPLE SYRUP
IS FROM A TREE.
THAT ONE OR THAT ONE?
OKAY.
Melissa says, MAYBE IT'S WRONG,
MAYBE IT'S RIGHT.
Zoey says, IT'S RIGHT.
MAPLE SYRUP IS MADE
WITH THE SAP OF THE MAPLE TREE,
WHICH GETS BOILED DOWN
TO BECOME THICK AND SUGARY.
Maple sap pours from a jug to a cup.
[Splash]
Zoey says, TEAM CRUNCH
IS PUTTING THEIR CHOCOLATE
IN FRONT OF THE CINNAMON TREE.
[Buzz]
NOPE!
Melissa says, A LOLLIPOP.
Chiara says, PUT IT THERE.
[Buzzer]
Zoey says, AND TEAM MUNCH ALSO GETS
THE CINNAMON TREE WRONG.
[Buzz]
Hands put a loaf of bread in front of the picture of wheat.
A green checkmark appears.
[Chime]
Zoey says, AUXANCE, HERE'S THE ANSWER
TO YOUR QUESTION.
Auxance asks, WHERE DOES BREAD COME FROM?
[Upbeat music plays]
Zoey says, BOTH TEAMS PUT THEIR BREAD
IN FRONT OF THE WHEAT,
AND THEY'RE RIGHT!
WHEAT SEEDS ARE GROUND UP
TO MAKE FLOUR,
WHICH IS THE MAIN INGREDIENT
IN BREAD.
Chiara says, SALT, UM--
Melissa suggests, THE OCEAN IS SALTY?
Chiara says, OKAY, PUT IT THERE.
Melissa says, I THINK THAT'S WRONG.
A green checkmark appears.
[Chime]
Zoey says, ACTUALLY, THAT'S RIGHT.
MOST SALT COMES FROM
OCEAN WATER.
A boy says, SEA SALT.
The girls say, PEANUT BUTTER.
Chiara says, WHERE DOES THAT GO?
Melissa says, IT HAS PEANUTS!
Chiara says, YEAH.
A green checkmark appears.
[Chime]
A boy says, CINNAMON STICKS.
AH, NO!
WE SHOULD'VE SWITCHED.
Zoey says, THAT'S RIGHT,
BECAUSE CINNAMON
IS MADE FROM THE BARK
OF THE CINNAMON TREE.
A boy puts the bowl of cinnamon in front of the cocoa tree.
He says, LET'S PUT IT HERE.
[Buzz]
The other boy says, OKAY.
Chiara says, MMM, FRENCH FRIES.
Melissa says, WITH THE POTATOES.
Chiara says, POTATOES.
Zoey says, THAT'S ANOTHER EASY ONE.
A green checkmark appears.
[Chime]
A boy carries the French fries to the picture of potatoes and says, FRENCH FRIES.
Chiara says, POPCORN!
Melissa says, WITH CORN, BECAUSE IT'S POPCORN.
A green checkmark appears.
[Chime]
One of the girls says, AND IT'S THE LAST THING.
A boy says, MAPLE SYRUP, THAT
COMES FROM A TREE,
SO IT MAKES SENSE.
A green checkmark appears.
[Chime]
Zoey says, OKAY.
YOU GUYS ARE DONE.
TEAM MUNCH, YOU HAVE
EIGHT MATCHES OUT OF TEN.
The girls high five.
[Hands smack]
The girls cheer, YEAH! YEAH!
Zoey says, AND TEAM CRUNCH,
YOU ALSO HAVE EIGHT MATCHES
OUT OF TEN.
The boys high five.
[Hands smack]
The boys cheer, YEAH! YEAH!
Zoey says, SO, IT'S A TIE.
THANKS FOR PLAYING—
WHAT’S THAT FOOD MADE FROM?
Text reads “what’s that food made from?”
Zoey says, NOW, LET'S NOT ALL
LET THIS GO TO WASTE.
COME ON.
Zoey and the two teams run to the table of snacks.
They shout, I WANT THE CORN!
I WANT THE CHOCOLATE!
CHOCOLATE!
MMM.
I WANT THE POP.
[Peppy music plays]
Animated bread, steak, milk and an apple smile and dance.
Zoey sings, TAKE A GOOD LOOK
AT THAT SANDWICH
OR AT THAT BUBBLE-GUM
[Bubble blowing]
Zoey sings, DO YOU WONDER
WHAT THEY'RE MADE OF?
WHERE DID THEY COME FROM?
WE CAN'T HAVE BREAD
WITHOUT GROUND UP WHEAT
GUM USED TO BE MADE
WITH RUBBER FROM THIS TREE
SUCH A CHEWY TREAT
SEE THOSE FISH STICKS
ON YOUR PLATE
THEY'RE MADE FROM HADDOCK,
SOLE, OR COD
THAT CANDY FLOSS
IS MADE WITH YAK HAIR
ALL BALLED UP INTO A WAD
An X appears over a picture of a yak.
[Buzz]
Zoey exclaims, WHAT?
IT'S MADE OF SUGAR?
OH!
Zoey sings, WELL,
IF YOU'RE EVER FEEDING
AND WONDERING
WHAT YOU'RE EATING
COME SING YOUR SONG WITH ME
A fish kisses Zoey’s cheek.
[Kiss noise]
Maegan appears on Zoey’s computer screen. Maegan has dark hair pulled back from her face and a purple jacket. Text under her reads “Maegan.”
Maegan asks, HOW WAS KETCHUP INVENTED?
Zoey says, WHO DOESN'T LOVE KETCHUP?
Zoey picks up a glass bottle of ketchup.
[Slide whistle]
Zoey looks at her computer screen at a web page about ketchup.
Zoey says, SO, I CHECKED
AND IT'S MADE
WITH SQUISHED TOMATOES,
SUGAR, VINEGAR,
AND IT GOES WITH EVERYTHING.
BUT THE FIRST KETCHUP
INVENTED DIDN'T TASTE
ANYTHING LIKE THIS STUFF.
I FOUND OUT THAT IT WAS MADE
FROM MUSHROOMS,
WALNUTS, OYSTERS,
OR LITTLE FISH
CALLED ANCHOVIES. YUMMY.
LUCKILY, A SCIENTIST
NAMED JAMES MEASE
INTRODUCED TOMATOES
IN HIS NEW KETCHUP RECIPE
AND THE REST IS HISTORY.
WE MAKE TONS OF GOOD SAUCES
OUT OF TOMATOES,
BUT THEY DIDN'T ALWAYS HAVE
SUCH A GOOD REPUTATION.
Two animated pirates say,
YAR, HAR, HAR!
OOP!
Their animated ship sails off the edge of the world.
They yell, WHOA!
Zoey yells, THE FLAT EARTH CORNER.
Text reads “The Flat Earth Corner.”
Zoey wears a hat with a feather in it, a black velvet robe and a fake black moustache. She holds a tomato and stands beside a table with baskets of tomatoes on it.
[Crowd shouts and talks]
Zoey says, BEHOLD! THE DEADLY
AND HORRIBLE TOMATO!
SAVE YOURSELF
AND YOUR CHILDREN
FROM THIS STINKY,
POISONOUS DEVIL FRUIT!
IT WAS BROUGHT TO EUROPE
BY FOOLISH TRAVELERS.
WHATEVER YOU DO,
DON'T EAT THEM
OR YOU WILL DIE
A HORRIBLE DEATH!
INSTEAD, TRY A SAFE
AND HEALTHY FRUIT,
LIKE THIS APPLE.
Zoey bites a tomato.
[Crunch]
She says, AHH!
IT WAS A TOMATO!
AHH! THE END IS NEAR! GAH!
Zoey sits beside her computer.
She says, FOR OVER 200 YEARS,
PEOPLE IN EUROPE
WERE AFRAID OF TOMATOES?
THAT WAS THANKS TO A BRITISH
BARBER, SURGEON, AND SCIENTIST
NAMED JOHN GIRARD.
HE DESCRIBED TOMATOES AS
STINKING AND BEING POISONOUS,
AND EVERYONE BELIEVED HIM.
THIS MYTH BEGAN BECAUSE PEOPLE
ATE TOMATOES ON PLATES
MADE OUT OF A METAL CALLED
PEWTER, AND GOT REALLY SICK.
BUT IT WASN'T
THE TOMATO'S FAULT.
THERE WAS A POISONOUS CHEMICAL
IN THE PEWTER CALLED LEAD
THAT SEEPED INTO THE TOMATOES.
An animated tomato turns blue.
[Buzz]
Zoey says, IT'S TOO BAD FOR SO LONG
EUROPEANS WERE MISSING OUT.
IMAGINE SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS
WITHOUT THE TOMATO SAUCE.
IT'S JUST NOT THE SAME!
[Happy music plays]
An animated house shakes and two metal legs appear as it stands. Two arms poke out. Text reads “Do try this at home.” The house steps on a car.
[Crashing]
Zoey says, DO TRY THIS AT HOME.
UH-OH!
Zoey looks down at her chickens.
[Clucking]
Zoey says, YOU GUYS ARE THE MESSIEST
ROOMMATES EVER.
LOOK AT THIS PLACE.
YOU KNOW,
IF WE LIVED IN A WORLD
WITHOUT GROCERY STORES,
YOU MIGHT THINK YOU COULD GET
YOUR FOOD DIRECTLY FROM FARMERS.
WELL, IT MIGHT NOT BE THAT EASY.
BECAUSE A LOT OF THE FOOD
WE GET FROM GROCERY STORES
COMES FROM
ALL AROUND THE WORLD.
SO, THE NEXT TIME
YOU'RE AT THE STORE,
LOOK CLOSE AT THE LABEL
AND IT WILL SHOW YOU WHERE
IN THE WORLD IT COMES FROM.
SEE? THIS PEAR SAYS
IT'S FROM SOUTH AFRICA.
Zoey points to South Africa on a globe.
She says, THAT'S WAY DOWN HERE!
THIS GARLIC
COMES FROM CHINA.
[Whoosh]
Zoey points to China on the globe.
She says, AND THESE GRAPES
WERE GROWN IN MEXICO.
Zoey spins the globe and points to Mexico.
Zoey says, CHECK OUT YOUR FRUITS
AND VEGETABLES AT HOME.
SEE WHICH ONES ARE GROWN
CLOSE TO WHERE YOU LIVE.
A line of fruit wears different regional clothes.
The food says, HEH HEH.
WOO-HOO-HOO!
HEY HEY!
An animated orange wearing a cowboy hat says, HUH? Y'ALL AIN'T FROM AROUND HERE, ARE YA?
Zoey says, NOW, HERE'S A QUESTION
FROM ALYSSA.
[Chiming]
Alyssa pops up on Zoey’s laptop screen. Alyssa has long curly hair. Text beneath her reads “Alyssa.”
Alyssa asks, CAN YOU GROW FOOD IN THE CITY?
Zoey says,
TO ANSWER ALYSSA'S QUESTION,
I'M MEETING NICHOLAS TAYLOR-
A PLANT SCIENCE MANAGER
WHO WORKS AT A FARM.
Nicholas has short brown hair. Zoey walks on a sidewalk and stops outside a tall brick building.
She asks, UH, WHERE'S THE FARM?
[Dramatic music plays]
Zoey says, THESE ARE JUST BIG OLD
FACTORY BUILDINGS.
Nicholas says, HEY, ZOEY!
I'M UP HERE!
Zoey looks up at the top of a building.
She says, OH! THERE YOU ARE!
HI, NICHOLAS!
[Running feet]
Nicholas stands in a green house.
[Upbeat music plays]
He says, HEY. WELCOME TO LUFA FARMS,
THE WORLD'S FIRST
COMMERCIAL ROOFTOP GREENHOUSE.
Zoey says, WHOA. YOU REALLY CAN GROW FOOD IN THE CITY.
BUT WHAT IS YOUR FARM DOING ON THE ROOF?
Nicholas says, GOOD QUESTION.
WHAT HAPPENS IS,
MORE AND MORE PEOPLE
ARE FILLING UP ALL THE SPACES
AROUND THE CITIES
AND WE'RE RUNNING
OUT OF LAND.
WHAT WE DID WAS,
RATHER THAN TO HAVE
A FARM OUTSIDE THE CITY
FAR AWAY WHERE WE'D HAVE TO
BRING THE FOOD IN,
WE BROUGHT THE FARM
RIGHT INTO THE CITY.
NOW, BECAUSE THERE'S
SO MANY BUILDINGS,
THEY DECIDED TO USE AREAS
THAT WERE NOT BEING USED
BY THE PEOPLE,
WHICH IS ON TOP OF THE ROOFS.
WHAT'S COOL ABOUT BEING
ON TOP OF A ROOF
IS THAT YOU CAPTURE
ALL THAT SUN
THAT WOULD NORMALLY
BE HITTING THE ROOF
AND NOW IT'S HITTING
THE CUCUMBERS
AND HELPING THEM GROW.
[Spraying water]
Nicholas says, HERE'S ONE OF OUR
LEBANESE CUCUMBERS.
WANNA TRY IT?
Zoey says, YOU MEAN,
PICK IT OFF THE TREE?
Nicolas says, YEAH, GO FOR IT!
Zoey asks, WITHOUT WASHING IT?
YOU DON'T HAVE TO.
Nicholas says, WE DON'T USE ANY
SYNTHETIC PESTICIDES HERE.
Zoey says, OH! NO POISONOUS CHEMICALS
TO KILL THE BUGS? COOL!
Zoey picks the cucumber
[Snap]
She takes a bite.
[Crunch]
Zoey says, MMM.
THAT'S REALLY GOOD.
Nicholas says, WHEN YOU GROW VEGGIES
REALLY CLOSE TO
WHERE THE PEOPLE
ARE PICKING IT UP,
YOU CAN PICK IT
AS FRESH AS POSSIBLE
SO IT'S SUPER GOOD
AND PACKED WITH NUTRIENTS.
Zoey says, SO WHEN FOOD HAS TO TRAVEL
A LONG TIME TO GET HERE,
IT LOSES ITS FLAVOUR.
Nicholas says, ABSOLUTELY.
Zoey says, AND NICHOLAS TELLS ME
THAT WHEN FOOD TRAVELS
FOR IT TO GET TO US,
A LOT OF IT SPOILS
AND IS WASTED.
AND ALSO THAT TRANSPORTING IT
MEANS BURNING A LOT OF FUEL.
THAT CAUSES POLLUTION.
HEY, CAN I HELP YOU
PLANT SOMETHING?
Nicholas asks, WANNA PLANT
SOME LETTUCE?
Zoey says, SURE!
Nicholas says, ALL RIGHT,
LET'S DO IT.
SO, WE'RE GONNA BE PLANTING
SOME BUTTERHEAD LETTUCE.
THEY'RE PROBABLY
GETTING A LITTLE ANGRY
SITTING IN THIS TRAY
'CAUSE WE PROBABLY SHOULD'VE
PLANTED THEM A COUPLE DAYS AGO.
SO, WHAT'S COOL
ABOUT THIS SYSTEM
IS THAT WE CAN GROW
A LOT OF LETTUCE
REALLY CLOSE TOGETHER
SUPER EFFICIENTLY.
Zoey says, LOOK, A LITTLE BUG.
THAT REMINDS ME OF A QUESTION
THAT I GOT FROM AMBER.
The question mark rides a unicycle.
[Squeaking wheel]
Amber has long brown hair with a bow in it. Text beneath her reads, “Amber.”
Amber asks, IS BUG POISON ON PLANTS
BAD FOR PEOPLE?
Amber sprays water from a bottle.
[Spray, spray]
[Upbeat music plays]
Nicholas says, IN FARMS, PEOPLE CAN USE
A LOT OF BUG POISON
IN THE FORM OF PESTICIDES,
[Spraying]
Nicholas continues, AND IT HAS BEEN SHOWN
TO BE KINDA ROUGH FOR PEOPLE
WHICH IS WHY MOST PEOPLE
WILL SUGGEST
THAT YOU ALWAYS WASH
YOUR FRUITS AND VEGGIES.
[Running water]
He says,
SYNTHETIC PESTICIDES HERE,
SO WE FIGHT BUGS WITH BUGS.
RIGHT HERE IN FRONT OF US,
WE HAVE A LOT OF BAD GUY BUGS
CALLED APHIDS.
THEY'RE EATING OUR PEPPERS.
ONE APHID IN ABOUT ONE DAY
CAN MAKE ABOUT TEN MORE APHIDS.
AND THEN THOSE TEN
MAKE TEN, AND THEN THOSE TEN
MAKE ANOTHER TEN,
AND THEN THE PLANT
IS JUST COMPLETELY COVERED.
[Chuckle]
SO, WHAT WE USE TO FIGHT
THESE BUGS IS MORE BUGS.
Zoey says, WHAT?
Nicholas opens a sack and says, IN THIS CASE--
Zoey exclaims, WHOA! LADYBUGS!
Nicholas says, LADYBUGS.
THAT'S RIGHT.
[Giggling]
Nicholas says, BUT THESE GUYS,
THEY'RE NOT GONNA HARM US.
THEY'RE NOT INTERESTED
IN ME AT ALL.
IF ANYTHING, THEY'RE PROBABLY
CONFUSED ABOUT MY ARM HAIR.
Ladybugs crawl on Nicholas’s arm.
[Giggling]
Zoey says, WHOA.
Nicholas says, SO, THEY'RE GONNA
CRAWL AROUND
AND THEY'RE GONNA LOOK
FOR THESE APHIDS
ON THESE LEAVES.
Zoey points to a ladybug on her arm.
She says, IT TICKLES.
[Giggling]
Nicholas says, LADYBUG HIGH FIVE.
Zoey says, THERE YOU GO.
Nicholas says, ARE YOU READY?
Zoey says, NO, I'M GOOD.
NO, YOU'RE GONNA
SQUISH THEM!
Nicholas says, SO, ALL THESE GUYS
ARE GONNA HANG OUT HERE
BECAUSE THIS IS
THE BEST PLACE IN TOWN
FOR LADYBUGS.
Zoey says, YEAH, 'CAUSE THEY EAT
THE APHIDS.
IT'S EATING ONE NOW!
A ladybug eats an aphid.
Nicholas says, THAT'S RIGHT,
BUT THEY DON'T
JUST EAT APHIDS.
THEY EAT ALL SORTS
OF OTHER LITTLE PESTS.
THEY'RE KINDA LIKE
THE BIG BOSS
COMPARED TO ALL
THE OTHER BUGS.
Zoey says, THAT'S CRAZY.
Nicholas says, YEAH.
Zoey says, THEY'RE SO SMALL.
Nicholas says, THEY DON'T HAVE
A TOUGH NAME
BUT THEY'RE ONE OF THE
TOUGHEST SPECIES WE HAVE.
HERE, YOU WANNA
PUT THAT OUT?
Zoey says, SURE.
Zoey hangs a box on a tree.
Nicholas says, THAT'S IT, PERFECT.
Zoey says, GOOD JOB, LITTLE LADYBUG.
Nicholas says, THIS IS A SWEET PEPPER.
WANNA PICK IT?
Zoey says, SURE!
[Snap]
[Giggling]
Nicholas says, THERE YOU GO.
VEGETABLES YOU CAN EAT
THE SAME DAY THEY WERE PICKED.
Zoey says, FROM A FARM IN THE CITY,
ON A ROOFTOP.
THANKS, NICHOLAS.
Nicholas gives Zoey a thumbs up.
[Clucking]
[Upbeat music plays]
Zoey says, THIS IS SO EXCITING.
I HAVE FRESH VEGETABLES NOW,
AND WITH THE EGGS
FROM THE CHICKEN,
MY LUNCH IS REALLY STARTING
TO COME TOGETHER.
BUT YOU DON'T HAVE
TO GET SOMEONE ELSE
TO GROW YOUR VEGGIES.
YOU CAN GROW 'EM YOURSELF
BY PLANTING SEEDS
IN YOUR BACKYARD GARDEN
OR IN WINDOW BOXES.
YOU CAN EVEN GROW NEW VEGGIES
FROM OLD LEFTOVERS.
MY FRIENDS TRIED IT OUT.
[Beeping]
Zoey points her remote at the television. Text reads “The Experiment.”
Zoey announces, THE EXPERIMENT
[Fanfare plays on trumpet]
A girl with medium-length curly light brown hair stands beside a girl with long light brown hair. On a table in front of them are eggs, bowls and pots .
Zoey says, ANDELAINE AND VIVIAN
FOUND OUT THAT YOU CAN GROW
FRESH VEGETABLES
FROM KITCHEN SCRAPS
LIKE THESE.
The long-haired girls says, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
The girl with curly hair says, I'M GONNA TRY AND PUT
THIS PIECE OF CELERY
IN WATER AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
Zoey narrates, YOU TAKE THE BOTTOM PART
FROM A CELERY BUNCH
AND SIT IT IN SOME WARM WATER
IN THE SUN.
The long-haired girls says, LET'S WAIT A COUPLE OF WEEKS
AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
The other girl says, OKAY.
Zoey says, IT GROWS NEW LEAVES!
TAKE THE SPROUTING CELERY
AND PLANT IT IN SOME EARTH.
Adelaine and Vivian put the sprouting celery in soil.
A hand plants seeds in soil.
Zoey says, TRY TAKING THE SEEDS
FROM INSIDE A PEPPER PLANT,
PLANT THEM IN SOIL,
AND GIVE THEM
A LITTLE BIT OF WATER.
PUT YOUR POTS IN THE SUN
AND WAIT FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS.
LOOK IT UP!
YOU CAN DO THIS
WITH MANY KINDS OF VEGGIES.
Adelaine and Vivian put pots on the table. Plants grow in each pot.
The long-haired girls says, I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS WORKED.
The curly-haired girl says, I KNOW!
Zoey says, SO, THERE YOU GO.
PLANT YOUR TABLE SCRAPS
AND HAVE YOUR OWN
INDOOR MINI FARM.
NOW, THAT'S LOCAL PRODUCE.
The girls wave and say, BYE, ZOEY!
Zoey says, BYE-BYE!
Plants say, BYE-BYE.
BYE.
BYE.
BYE!
Zoey says, THESE VEGGIES HAVE HAD
SOME TIME TO GROW.
AND LOOK AT THEM NOW.
LOOKS LIKE I CAN ADD SOME CELERY
TO MY EGG SALAD.
THAT MEANS I HAVE EVERYTHING
I NEED TO MAKE A SANDWICH.
AND I CAN FINALLY
ANSWER THE QUESTION
THAT STARTED OFF THE SHOW.
[Beeping]
Sara appears and asks her question again.
Sara asks IF THERE WERE
NO GROCERY STORES,
WHERE WOULD WE GET FOOD?
Zoey says THE BIG ANSWER IS…
Text reads “The big answer is…”
Zoey plays a keyboard.
[Keyboard music plays]
Zoey WE CAN GROW IT OURSELVES
OR BUY IT FROM LOCAL FARMERS.
[Upbeat music plays]
Zoey says, IN FACT, IT LOOKS LIKE
WE'LL BE DOING THIS
MORE AND MORE IN THE FUTURE.
GROWING FOOD CLOSE TO HOME CAN
HELP AVOID SOME BIG PROBLEMS
LIKE WASTE, POISON AND
PESTICIDES, AND AIR POLLUTION.
PLUS, THE FOOD IS HEALTHIER
AND TASTES WAY BETTER.
THAT ROOFTOP FARM I VISITED
IS JUST ONE AMAZING WAY
TO GROW FOOD IN THE CITY.
THERE ARE KIDS PLANTING GARDENS
IN THEIR SCHOOL YARDS
AND COMMUNITY FOOD GARDENS ARE
POPPING UP ALL OVER THE PLACE.
PEOPLE HAVE EVEN TURNE
SWIMMING POOLS INTO FISH FARMS!
IT'S AMAZING WHAT YOU CAN GROW
IF YOU GET CREATIVE.
NOW, ALL I HAVE TO DO
IS MAKE MY SANDWICH.
WELL, I FORGOT TO GROW WHEAT
TO MAKE BREAD.
[Slide whistle]
Zoey picks up a loaf of bread.
She says, GOOD THING MY MOM
PICKED UP A LOAF OF BREAD
FROM THE LOCAL
FARMER'S MARKET.
THAT STILL KINDA COUNTS, RIGHT?
Zoey makes an egg salad sandwich.
She bites into it and says, THIS IS THE BEST HOMEGROWN
SANDWICH I'VE EVER EATEN.
[Clucking]
Zoey says, PRINCESS PUMPERNICKEL, CLUCKY,
YOUR EGGS ARE DELICIOUS.
GREAT JOB, GUYS.
A chicken says, THANKS, ZOEY.
Text reads “Thanks to everyone who helped me out! Zoey Stewart.”
End credits roll.
Zoey sings, SEE THOSE FISH STICKS
ON YOUR PLATE
THEY'RE MADE FROM HADDOCK,
SOLE, OR COD
[Slide whistle]
THAT CANDY FLOSS
IS MADE WITH YAK HAIR
ALL BALLED UP
INTO A WAD
[Buzz]
WHAT? IT'S MADE OF SUGAR? OH!
Zoey sings, WELL,
IF YOU'RE EVER FEEDING
AND WONDERING
WHAT YOU'RE EATING
COME SING YOUR SONG WITH ME
[Squeak. Blink, blink]
The animated sun rises.
Andrea stands by a wall.
[Upbeat music plays]
Text reads “Primary four to six. Teacher Andrea.”
Andrea says, THANK YOU, EVERYONE,
FOR JOINING ME TODAY
FOR TVO'S POWER HOUR
OF LEARNING.
I'M TEACHER ANDREA AND I LOOK
FORWARD TO SEEING YOU SOON.
BYE FOR NOW!
Andrea waves.
The animated sun shines.
[Upbeat music plays]
Text 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.”
“TVO Power Hour of Learning.”
WELCOME TO TVOKIDS
POWER HOUR OF LEARNING.
TODAY’S JUNIOR LESSON.
FOOD: YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT.
Text reads “TVO Power Hour of Learning. Teacher Edition. Today’s Junior Lesson: Food: You are What You Eat!
[Upbeat music plays]
A woman with long, dark brown hair stands in front of a large piece of lined paper. Text on the paper reads “What do plants need to grow?”
Text reads “Junior four to six. Teacher Andrea.”
Teacher Andrea says, HI, EVERYONE.
MY NAME IS TEACHER ANDREA
AND WELCOME TO TVO'S
POWER HOUR OF LEARNING.
I'M SO EXCITED
THAT YOU'RE JOINING ME TODAY
BECAUSE TODAY WE'RE GOING
TO BE EXPLORING FOOD.
NOW, I HAVE A QUESTION
TO ASK YOU.
WHY DO WE NEED FOOD?
I'LL GIVE YOU A MOMENT
TO THINK ABOUT IT.
NOW, IF YOU SAID
IN ORDER TO GROW AND SURVIVE,
YOU'D BE RIGHT.
WITHOUT FOOD, WE WOULDN'T
HAVE THE ENERGY WE NEED
TO MOVE OUR ARMS
OR USE OUR BRAINS TO DO
THE SCHOOLWORK WE NEED TO DO.
NOW, SOME TYPES OF FOOD
THAT WE EAT
ARE ASSOCIATED WITH PLANTS,
LIKE FRUITS AND VEGETABLES.
SO, WHAT KIND OF THINGS DO
PLANTS NEED IN ORDER TO SURVIVE?
THINK ABOUT IT
FOR A MOMENT,
AND WE'RE GONNA DO
A MIND MAP
AND COME UP WITH
SOME ANSWERS TOGETHER.
LET'S GET STARTED.
SO, MY QUESTION IS,
WHAT DO PLANTS NEED TO GROW?
Andrea takes a cap off a marker and writes on the paper.
[Cap clicking]
Andrea writes the word “Plants” in the middle of the page and draws a puffy circle around it.
She says, I HEAR SOME ANSWERS.
IF YOU SAID SUN,
YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.
PLANTS NEED THE SUN
IN ORDER TO GROW.
Andrea draws a line from “Plants” and writes “sun.”
She asks, WHAT ELSE DO YOU THINK
PLANTS MIGHT NEED?
IF YOU SAID WATER,
YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.
Andrea draws a line and writes “water.”
Andrea says, PLANTS ALSO NEED
THE NUTRIENTS FROM THE SOIL.
Andrea draws a line and writes “nutrients from soil.”
She asks, CAN WE THINK OF ANYTHING ELSE
PLANTS MIGHT NEED?
AIR IS RIGHT.
Andrea draws a line and writes “air.”
AND SOMETIMES
WE FORGET THIS,
BUT THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT
FOR PLANTS AS WELL-
PLANTS NEED SPACE.
THEY NEED SPACE
IN ORDER TO GROW.
Andrea draws a line and writes “space.”
GREAT JOB, EVERYONE.
NOW THAT WE'VE TALKED
ABOUT SOME OF THE THINGS
THAT PLANTS NEED
IN ORDER TO GROW,
LET'S TAKE A SNEAK PEEK
AT TVO MPOWER'S GAME
COMMUNITY GARDEN.
An animated sun rises in a blue sky.
Text at the top of a computer game reads “TVO mPower. STEM Challenge: Community Garden.”
[Upbeat music plays]
An animated girl with pigtails stands beside a “Play” button.
Text reads “Design and test a garden that meets the needs of different plants based on different characteristics.”
[Click]
Squares in a garden in the computer game turn from dark brown to light brown. Small green seeds appear in the lighter squares.
[Ting, ting, ting, click, chime]
[Click]
Plants appear in the game garden.
A cursor moves as a player harvests the plants in the game.
[Click, click, click, click]
[Chimes]
[Click]
A new empty garden starts in the game.
The game disappears. Text reads “TVO mPower. Create your free account today.”
The animated sun appears.
Andrea smiles.
Text under Andrea reads “Junior four to six. Teacher Andrea.”
[Upbeat music plays]
Andrea says, NOW THAT YOU'VE HAD
A SNEAK PEEK
AT THE TVO MPOWER GAME
COMMUNITY GARDEN,
LET'S TAKE A LOOK
AT A REAL COMMUNITY GARDEN.
The animated sun shines.
Andrea stands a brick pathway beside a glass railing. She wears her long hair tied back. Plants grow to her left. Andrea waves.
Andrea says, HEY, EVERYONE, AND WELCOME
TO DOWNTOWN TORONTO.
NOW THAT YOU'VE HAD
A SNEAK PEEK
AT THE TVO MPOWER GAME
COMMUNITY GARDEN,
I WANTED TO INTRODUCE YOU
TO MY CONDO'S COMMUNITY GARDEN.
NOW, IN CASE YOU DIDN'T KNOW,
A COMMUNITY GARDEN
IS A LARGE PIECE OF LAND,
USUALLY PUBLICLY
OR PRIVATELY OWNED,
THAT GETS SECTIONED OFF,
AND THE LUCKY PEOPLE
WHO GET A PLOT OF LAND
GET TO GROW WHATEVER FRUITS
AND VEGETABLES THEY LIKE.
NOW, HERE IN MY CONDO,
IN ORDER TO GET
A COMMUNITY PLOT,
YOU PUT YOUR NAME
IN A DRAW
AND THE LUCKY WINNERS GET TO
USE THE LAND FOR THE SUMMER
TO GROW WHATEVER THEY LIKE.
NOW, IN A MOMENT, I'M GONNA
INTRODUCE YOU TO JOSEPH,
WHO IS ONE OF OUR
COMMUNITY GARDENERS
HERE AT THE CONDO.
HE'S GONNA GIVE YOU A TOUR
OF THE KINDS
OF FRUITS AND VEGETABLES
THAT PEOPLE ARE GROWING,
AS WELL AS WHAT HE'S GROWING
IN HIS OWN PLOT.
A man with short hair and a bright white tee-shirt stands by the garden plots.
Joseph says, HI, MY NAME'S JOSEPH,
I'M A GARDENER HERE,
AND WE'RE GONNA START OFF
LOOKING AT THIS GARDEN.
Joseph gestures to small plants. Each has a small tab with a picture showing what the plant is.
He says, WE HAVE PARSLEY
IN THE MIDDLE,
WE HAVE CHERRY TOMATOES
IN THE BACK,
AND RIGHT IN FRONT
WE HAVE BASIL.
AS WE KEEP GOING DOWN...
YOU'LL NOTICE
VARIOUS TYPES OF FLOWERS.
AND HERE WE HAVE ONIONS.
AND HERE WE HAVE PEPPERS.
ONE IS YELLOW,
ONE IS ORANGE.
AND HERE WE HAVE
THE SWISS CHARD.
AND HERE WE HAVE
SOME HOT BANANA PEPPERS.
AND THIS IS MY PRIDE AND JOY,
THE RAPINI PLANT,
SURROUNDED BY SALAD,
PARSLEY,
LETTUCE, ONIONS...
AND SOME MORE PARSLEY.
Joseph gazes proudly at his garden.
He says, THANKS FOR JOINING ME
TODAY ON MY WALK IN THE GARDEN.
The animated sun rises.
[Upbeat music plays]
Andrea stands by a large piece of paper. Text on the paper reads “Food Chains.”
Text under Andrea reads “Junior four to six. Teacher Andrea.”
She says, IN ORDER FOR ANIMALS,
INCLUDING HUMANS, TO SURVIVE,
WE NEED TO CONSUME FOOD.
THAT'S WHERE WE GET
OUR ENERGY FROM.
NOW, THIS FLOW OF ENERGY IS BEST
ILLUSTRATED IN A FOOD CHAIN.
IN A FOOD CHAIN, PLANTS
ARE CLASSIFIED AS PRODUCERS,
AND THIS IS BECAUSE THEY PRODUCE
OR MAKE THEIR OWN FOOD,
AND THEY DO THAT BY TAKING
THE ENERGY FROM THE SUN,
WATER, AND NUTRIENTS
FROM THE SOIL.
ANIMALS, INCLUDING HUMANS,
ARE CLASSIFIED AS CONSUMERS
AND THIS IS BECAUSE WE CONSUME
OR EAT PRODUCERS
OR OTHER CONSUMERS.
LET'S TAKE SOME TIME
TO CONSTRUCT SOME FOOD CHAINS
TO SHOW HOW
THIS FLOW OF ENERGY WORKS.
[Paper shuffling]
Andrea sticks a hand-drawn picture of a plant at the top of her “Food Chain” paper.
She says, LET'S START OFF...
WITH A PICTURE OF A PLANT.
NOW REMEMBER,
PLANTS PRODUCE THEIR OWN ENERGY
FROM THE SUN, WATER, AND SOIL.
SO, THEY ARE CLASSIFIED
AS PRODUCERS.
THEY ARE ALWAYS AT THE BEGINNING
OF A FOOD CHAIN.
SO, LET'S WRITE
"PRODUCER" DOWN.
Andrea writes “Producer” under the plant.
She continues, NOW, ONE CONSUMER OR ANIMAL
THAT MIGHT EAT PLANTS...
IS A RABBIT.
Andrea sticks a drawing of rabbit to the paper beside the picture of the plant.
RABBITS ARE CLASSIFIED
AS CONSUMERS
BECAUSE THEY CONSUME
OR EAT PLANTS IN ORDER TO GET
THEIR ENERGY.
SO, A RABBIT IS A CONSUMER.
Andrea writes “Consumer” under the rabbit.
She says, AND AS THE RABBIT
EATS THE PLANTS,
THE FLOW OF ENERGY GOES
FROM THE PLANT TO THE RABBIT.
Andrea draws an arrow leading from the plant to the rabbit.
Andrea says, SO, WE CAN DRAW
AN ARROW HERE.
NOW, RABBITS CAN ALSO
BE CONSUMED.
Andrea draws an arrow from the rabbit to the empty space beside it.
She says, SO, THE FLOW OF ENERGY
WOULD GO TO THE NEXT CONSUMER.
AND HERE WE HAVE A WOLF.
Andrea holds up a drawing of a wolf. She sticks it to the empty space beside the rabbit.
[Paper flapping]
Andrea explains, WOLVES ARE ALSO CONSUMERS
BECAUSE THEY CONSUME RABBITS.
Andrea writes “Consumer” under the wolf.
She says, AND HERE WE HAVE
OUR COMPLETED FOOD CHAIN.
WE STARTED WITH OUR PLANT,
THE PRODUCER,
BECAUSE THEY PRODUCE
THEIR OWN ENERGY,
A CONSUMER, A RABBIT,
BECAUSE THEY GET ENERGY
FROM THE PLANT BY EATING IT,
SO THEY'RE CLASSIFIED
AS A CONSUMER,
THEN THE WOLF
THAT EATS THE RABBIT,
GETS ITS ENERGY
FROM THE RABBIT,
IS ALSO CONSIDERED
A CONSUMER.
LET'S TAKE A MOMENT
AND DO A COUPLE MORE
FOOD CHAINS TOGETHER,
NOW THAT YOU'RE EXPERTS.
[Shuffling paper]
Andrea holds up a drawing of sunflowers. Bees fly by the flowers.
She says, HERE WE HAVE A PICTURE
OF SOME FLOWERS.
ARE FLOWERS PRODUCERS
OR CONSUMERS?
THINK ABOUT THIS
FOR A MOMENT.
IF YOU SAID PRODUCER,
YOU'RE RIGHT
BECAUSE FLOWERS
MAKE THEIR ENERGY
FROM THE SUN, THE WATER,
AND THE SOIL.
SO, THEY GO AT THE BEGINNING
OF OUR FOOD CHAIN.
Andrea sticks the sunflower on the paper, forming a new row on the paper.
She says, SO, THERE'S OUR FLOWERS,
AND LET'S CLASSIFY THEM
AS PRODUCERS.
She writes “Producers” under the flowers.
Andrea holds a drawing of a horse.
Andrea says, NOW, A HORSE
MIGHT BE OUT GRAZING
AND CONSUME
SOME OF THOSE FLOWERS,
SO OUR HORSE
IS CONSIDERED A CONSUMER,
BECAUSE IT GETS ITS ENERGY
FROM THE FLOWERS.
Andrea sticks the horse beside the flowers. She draws an arrow from the flowers to the horse and labels the horse “Consumer.”
THERE'S OUR HORSE,
AND THE FLOW OF ENERGY
GOES FROM THE FLOWERS,
THE PRODUCERS,
TO THE CONSUMER,
THE HORSE.
AND THERE'S
OUR COMPLETED FOOD CHAIN.
LET'S TRY ONE MORE.
Andrea puts her marker down.
[Bang]
WHAT DO WE CALL
OUR PLANTS AGAIN?
OUR PLANTS ARE PRODUCERS.
Andrea holds up a drawing of a leafy plant. She sticks it on a new line on the paper and writes “Producer” under it and caps her marker.
[Snap]
She says, NOW, THIS IS A SPECIAL TYPE
OF PLANT FOUND IN THE WATER,
SO A CONSUMER
THAT MAY EAT THIS PLANT...
..IS A FISH.
Andrea puts a drawing of a blue fish beside the plant. She draws an arrow from the plant to the fish.
Andrea says, SO, OUR FISH
IS A CONSUMER.
IT GETS ITS ENERGY
FROM THE PLANTS.
Andrea writes “Consumer” beneath the fish.
She explains, AND THE FLOW OF ENERGY GOES
FROM THE PLANT TO THE CONSUMER.
NOW, THE FISH
CAN ALSO BE EATEN,
SO THE FLOW OF ENERGY
WOULD GO TO OUR NEXT CONSUMER.
Andrea draws an arrow from the fish to the empty space beside it and puts the cap on her marker.
[Snap]
She says, AND OUR NEXT CONSUMER
IS A POLAR BEAR.
Andrea sticks a drawing of a polar bear to the empty space beside the fish.
She says, AS THE POLAR BEAR
EATS THE FISH,
IT GETS ITS ENERGY
FROM THE FISH.
Andrea writes “Consumer” beneath the polar bear.
SO, IT'S CONSIDERED
A CONSUMER AS WELL
AND THE FLOW OF ENERGY GOES
FROM THE FISH TO THE POLAR BEAR.
AND HERE'S
OUR FINISHED FOOD CHAINS.
GREAT JOB, EVERYONE!
NOW THAT WE'VE BEEN EXPLORING
OUR FOOD CHAINS,
LET'S DO A LITTLE BIT MORE
EXPLORING ABOUT FOOD.
LET'S JOIN BABOO AND HOWIE
AS THEY EXPLORE A GROCERY STORE.
Andrea smiles.
The animated sun rises.
[Energetic music plays as people whistle]
Puppets of Howie, a boy with dark hair, and Baboo, a monkey, look at the moon. They blast to space in a rocket and watch laundry spin. Howie and Baboo watch a snail move on a leaf.
An animated rainbow stretches across the sky as the Howie and Baboo ride in a hot air balloon.
Text reads “Now You Know. Created by Ben Mazzotta & Maria Kennedy.”
Children shout, NOW YOU KNOW!
[Children giggle]
Howie says, WHERE DOES FOOD COME FROM?
Text reads “Where does food come from?”
Baboo says, YEAH!
Howie wears a white lab coat. He stands beside a machine on a table.
Howie says, I AM THE GREAT AND
BRILLIANT SCIENTIST,
PROFESSOR HOWENSTEIN!
[Chuckling]
Howie laughs, MUAHAHA!
AND TODAY
I WANT TO SHOW YOU
MY LATEST INVENTION!
THE FOODINATOR!
Baboo says, DUN-DUN-DUUUN!
Howie says, WITH THIS INVENTION,
I CAN CREATE ANY FOOD I WISH!
MUAHAHA!
BABOR!
Baboo wears a black eye patch and a brown robe.
Baboo says, YES?
Howie says, HAMBURGER, PLEASE.
Baboo says, OKAY! UH--
Baboo sings, BOOP-BOOP
[Zap]
Howie says, THAT'S STRANGE.
THAT'S NOT
A HAMBURGER.
MORE LIKE
A HAM-BERRY.
TRY AGAIN, BABOR!
Baboo says, OKAY!
Howie laughs, MUAHAHA!
[Zap]
A watermelon with a lemon-like inside appears in the machine.
Howie says, HMM.
I GUESS YOU COULD CALL
THAT ONE A WATER-LEMON.
AGAIN, BABOR!
Baboo says, OKAY!
Baboo sings, BOOP-BOOP
BOOP-BOOP-BOOP
[Zap]
A taco stuffed with chocolate appears.
Howie says, WHOA!
THAT ONE LOOKS
MORE LIKE A--
LIKE A CHOCO-TACO.
Baboo says, OOH, THAT'S A NICE ONE!
[Harp music plays]
Howie and Baboo stand in a kitchen. A box on a table has a drawing of a chocolate-stuffed taco taped to it.
Howie says, HEY, WOULDN'T IT
BE COOL, BABOO,
IF WE COULD
MAKE FOOD APPEAR
RIGHT OUT
OF THIN AIR?
Baboo says, OH, YEAH!
Howie says, WOW.
HEY, DO YOU EVER WONDER
WHERE FOOD
EVEN COMES FROM?
[Chuckles]
Baboo says, YES.
[Tinkling music]
Howie asks, ARE YOU THINKING
WHAT I'M THINKING?
Baboo says, I WANT A CHOCO-TACO.
Howie says, NO!
[Chuckles]
Howie says, TIME TO PUT OUT
A QUESTION ALERT!
Baboo says, YE-BAH!
Howie activates his watch.
[Beep]
Howie says, QUICK! TO THE
SECRET HEADQUARTERS!
Baboo asks, NO CHOCO-TACO?
Howie says, NO TIME FOR THAT.
[Shouting excited gibberish]
Howie laughs, WAHAHAHA!
[Laughing]
[Playful music plays]
Baboo walks into Howie as Howie stops by a computer keyboard.
Howie exclaims, OOH!
Baboo says, WHOA!
Howie says, LET'S SEE YOU ANSWER
THE QUESTION ALERT, BABOO!
Baboo says, OKAY.
Nine children appear on a computer monitor’s screen.
[Upbeat music plays]
The children say,
HI, HOWIE. HI, BABOO.
Howie says, HEY THERE, QUESTIONEERS!
TODAY'S QUESTION IS,
WHERE DOES FOOD COME FROM?
Baboo says, I LIKE TO EAT FOOD.
Howie nods.
A girl with curly hair in pigtails sits in a green square. She says, FOOD COMES FROM THE BAKERY.
A boy with short brown hair in a yellow square says, GROCERY STORES!
A girl wearing a hat in a blue square says, FOOD COMES FROM FARMS.
A girl wearing glasses in a purple square says, WHERE THE CROPS ARE.
A girl with long dark hair stands in a dark green square.
She says, FOOD COMES FROM ANIMALS.
A girl with with braids stands in a bright purple square.
She says, FOOD COMES FROM LAND.
A girl with a ponytail stands in a light blue square. She says, IT COMES FROM TREES,
IT CAN COME FROM LIKE, SOIL.
A boy with short black hair in a green square smiles mischievously and says,
THE KITCHEN.
A girl with black hair stands in a red square and says,
FOOD COMES FROM MY FRIDGE.
Howie says, OH, THOSE WERE SOME
REALLY AWESOME ANSWERS.
Baboo says, YES, THEY WERE.
Howie says, HMM.
I WONDER IF THERE'S
AN EXPERT OUT THERE
WHO COULD HELP US
WITH TODAY'S QUESTION.
Baboo says, I WONDER.
A man appears on Howie’s computer screen. He wears a light blue shirt and a black tie. The man stands by a display cabinet in a grocery store and waves.
He says, HI, YOU TWO!
Howie says, HEY LOOK, IT'S CAMERON!
CAMERON'S THE MANAGER
OF A GROCERY STORE.
HI, CAMERON!
Baboo says, HEY!
Cameron says, I HEAR YOU'RE WONDERING
WHERE FOOD COMES FROM.
Howie says, OH, WE SURE ARE!
Cameron says, WHY DON'T YOU VISIT ME
AT THE GROCERY STORE
AND WE CAN SEE
WHAT WE CAN DISCOVER TOGETHER.
Howie says, OKEE-DOKEE!
WE'LL BE RIGHT THERE.
Baboo laughs, HA-HA!
Howie says, COME ON, BABOO.
Howie and Baboo stand in a grocery store. They look at piles of fruit and vegetables on tables.
Howie says, WOW, LOOK AT THE SIZE
OF THIS PLACE!
Cameron says, HI THERE, YOU TWO.
Howie says, HI, CAMERON.
THANKS FOR HAVING US
HERE TODAY.
Baboo says, UM--
[Throat clears]
Baboo whispers to Howie, BANANAS?
Cameron says, SURE THING, BABOO.
WE DO HAVE BANANAS
IN THE PRODUCE
SECTION, RIGHT NEXT
TO THE APPLES.
[Excited gibberish]
Baboo cheers, WOO-HOO-HOO!
[Running footsteps]
Howie says, UH, HEH.
HE LIKES BANANAS.
[Chuckle]
Howie asks, HEY CAMERON,
HOW MANY DIFFERENT KINDS
OF FOOD DO YOU HAVE HERE?
Cameron says, WE HAVE MANY DIFFERENT
KINDS OF FOODS HERE.
YOU WANNA HAVE A LOOK?
Howie says, OH, YEAH!
Cameron says, LET'S GO.
Howie says, OH, GREAT!
[Upbeat music plays]
Baboo walks past baskets of bread.
He calls, BANANA?
Baboo opens a freezer. He stands by meat.
Baboo says, HMM. HM. HMM.
[Maniacal laughing]
Baboo stands beside a giant stack of bananas.
He says, AAH! OOH-HOO-HOO!
Baboo falls backwards against the stack.
Howie says, SO, THIS IS WHERE
FOOD COMES FROM.
Cameron says, NOT EXACTLY, HOWIE.
ALL THIS FOOD THAT YOU SEE
ON THESE SHELVES
CAME FROM ALL SORTS
OF DIFFERENT PLACES.
[Upbeat music plays]
Green fields surround a barn.
Cameron explains, MOST OF THE FOODS WE GET
LIKE WHEAT, FRUITS,
AND VEGETABLES
ARE GROWN ON FARMS
OR GREENHOUSES.
Rows of plants grow in a green house.
Howie says, AND THEN
THE FOOD COMES HERE.
Cameron says, NOT YET, HOWIE.
MOST OF THESE RAW FOODS
GO TO MANY DIFFERENT FACTORIES
AND TURN INTO OTHER FOODS.
Howie, OH, LIKE WHAT?
A question mark spins.
[Whirling noise]
[Whoosh]
An animated barn and sheaves of wheat push animated bread to the side.
Cameron says, TAKE BREAD FOR INSTANCE.
WHEAT FROM THE FARM
GOES TO A MILL,
WHERE THEY GRIND IT INTO FLOUR.
[Grinding]
THEN IT GOES
TO ANOTHER FACTORY,
An animated sack of flour lands on a conveyor belt.
[Creak]
WHERE THEY BAKE IT
INTO BREAD AND PACKAGE IT.
Howie asks, AND THEN IT COMES HERE?
Cameron says, ALMOST, HOWIE.
ALL THOSE FOODS GO TO OUR
FOOD DISTRIBUTION FACILITY,
WHICH IS A HUGE BUILDING
WHERE OUR TRUCKS ARE LOADED UP
WITH BOXES OF FOOD
TO GO TO ALL OF OUR MANY
GROCERY STORES.
Howie asks, AND THEN THE FOOD
COMES HERE?
Cameron says, THAT'S RIGHT, HOWIE.
THIS IS WHERE WE STOCK
ALL THE FOODS
AND MAKE SURE THAT IT IS FRESH
FOR OUR CUSTOMERS.
WE HAVE FOOD
FROM THE NEARBY FARM
AND ALL AROUND
THE WORLD.
Baboo walks to Howie as he chews a banana. Howie looks from
the banana to Cameron.
Howie says, UM--
I WAS JUST WONDERING
IF MAYBE I COULD--
Cameron says, HELP YOURSELF, HOWIE.
[Excited panting, munching)
Howie bites an apple.
Howie says, MMM. MM! YUMMY. MM.
LET ME SEE IF I HAVE THIS
STRAIGHT, CAMERON.
Cameron says, MM-HM?
Howie says, FOOD STARTS OUT AT FARMS
AND GREENHOUSES,
Cameron nods.
Howie says, AND SOMETIMES THEY TAKE
THAT FOOD TO FACTORIES
TO MAKE IT INTO OTHER FOODS.
THEN IT GETS LOADED
INTO A GREAT BIG BUILDING
AND THEN TRUCKS PICK IT UP,
AND FINALLY, IT COMES HERE
TO THE GROCERY STORE!
Cameron says, YOU GOT IT, HOWIE!
[Chuckle]
Howie asks, HOW 'BOUT YOU?
DO YOU SEE NOW
WHERE FOOD COMES FROM
AND HOW IT GETS
TO THE GROCERY STORE?
YOU DO? GREAT!
WELL, NOW YOU KNOW!
Baboo says, BA-NA-NA-NA!
[Laughing]
Male voices sing, ASK, ASK, ASK-ASK A QUESTION

NOW, NOW, NOW-NOW-NOW-NOW YOU KNOW CONCLUSION!
ASK, ASK, ASK-ASK A QUESTION
FIND, FIND, FIND-FIND AN ANSWER
NOW, NOW, NOW-NOW-NOW-NOW YOU KNOW
Howie says, NOW YOU KNOW!
[Upbeat music and whistling plays]
Howie leans against a grocery store checkout counter.
Howie says, AND REMEMBER,
YOU CAN'T GET AN ANSWER
UNLESS YOU ASK A QUESTION.
SO KEEP ASKING QUESTIONS, OKAY?
[Chuckle]
[Humming]
Baboo pushes a grocery cart full of apples and bananas.
Howie says, WHOA, BABOO!
THAT'S A LOT OF APPLES AND BANANAS!
Baboo says, MMM, JACKPOT!
[Chuckling, giggling]
[Upbeat and whistling music plays]

PLACE WHERE WE CAN FIND FOOD,
BUT WE CAN ALSO FIND FOOD
AT A RESTAURANT.

BEBE AND MO, AS THEY VISIT SUSUR LEE
AT HIS RESTAURANT.
[Humming]

Bebe says, --AND THE MAIN INGREDIENT--
Mo says, MM-HM?
Bebe says, --BARK.
Mo recoils and says, OGH!
Bebe says, IT'S A BEAVER'S
FAVOURITE FOOD, YOU KNOW.
Mo shakes his head and says, UGH.
Bebe asks, YOU WANT SOME?
Mo says, UH, NO THANKS.
Bebe says, MORE FOR ME.
Bebe eats bark.

[A loon calls]
A Canadian flag waves over a beaver lodge.
Mo looks at a tablet.
Mo says, OH, NICE!
Bebe asks, WHAT YA
LOOKIN' AT, MO?
WELL, ALL THIS TALK OF FOOD
HAS MADE ME WONDER-
WHAT KINDS OF FOODS
ARE GROWN IN CANADA?
Bebe asks, OH, YEAH?
Mo says, YEAH!
Bebe asks, OH, WHAT DID YOU FIND?
Mo says, WELL, CHECK IT OUT.
Bebe says, OKAY.
On the tablet, a combine harvests a field of wheat.
Mo says, THERE ARE FIELDS
AND FIELDS OF WHEAT
IN THE PROVINCE
OF SASKATCHEWAN.
[Whoosh]
Saskatchewan is highlight in yellow on a map of Canada.
Bebe says, BUT YOU CAN'T EAT WHEAT,
CAN YOU?
Mo says, NO, BUT IF YOU
GRIND IT UP--
Bebe says, UH-HUH?
Mo continues, --YOU GET FLOUR,
WHICH IS USED TO MAKE
ALL KINDS OF THINGS,
LIKE BREAD AND PASTA,
PASTRIES AND EVEN CAKES.
Bread, pasta, a croissant and a cake appear on the tablet.
[Pop, pop, pop, boing]
[Chuckling]
Bebe says, MMM! CAKES!
Mo says, MM-MM-MM!
[Laugh]
Potatoes appear on the tablet screen.
Mo says, THERE ARE POTATOES
THAT COME
FROM THE PROVINCE
OF PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND.
Prince Edward Island is highlighted on a map of Canada.
[Squeak]
Bebe says, OH, POTATOES ARE THE BEST!
Mo says, CHECK IT OUT-POTATO FACE!
Mo draws a happy face with his finger on one of the potatoes.
[Giggling]
Blueberries grow on bushes in a photo on the tablet.
[Swipe]
Mo says, OH, AND WILD BLUEBERRIES
THAT CAN BE FOUND
ALL OVER THE MARITIME PROVINCES,
As Mo lists provinces, they are highlighted on a map of Canada’s east coast.
[Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh]
Mo says, LIKE NEWFOUNDLAND
AND LABRADOR, NOVA SCOTIA,
AND NEW BRUNSWICK!
Bebe says, OH, BLUEBERRIES
ARE ONE OF MY FAVOURITES!
EXCEPT FOR BARK, THAT IS.
Bebe draws a heart over the blueberries.
[Squeaking]
[Giggle]
Mo says, I KNOW.
[Slide whistle]
[Squawking alarm]
Bebe says, HEY, YOU KNOW WHAT
THAT SOUND MEANS-
IT'S GAVIN CALLING!
Mo says, YEAH! I WONDER WHERE
HE'S CALLING FROM TODAY.
Mo touches a picture of Gavin on the tablet.
[Beeping]
Gavin stands waist-deep in red berries. He eats a few.
He says, MM, MM.
OH HEY, YOU TWO!
Bebe, HI, GAVIN.
WHERE ARE YOU
CALLING FROM?
Gavin says, WELL, TODAY I'M ON
A CRANBERRY FARM
IN THE PROVINCE
OF NEW BRUNSWICK.
New Brunswick turns yellow on a red map of Canada.
[Boing]
Bebe says, OH, SO THAT'S WHAT'S
FLOATING AROUND YOU.
Gavin says, THAT'S RIGHT!
[Chuckling]
Gavin says, FUN FACT!
Text reads “Fun Fact.”
[Whoosh]
Gavin says, THE PROVINCE
OF NEW BRUNSWICK
IS ONE OF THE LARGEST PRODUCERS
OF CRANBERRIES IN CANADA.
Red cranberries cover the province on the map.
[Popping]
Mo asks, DO CRANBERRIES
GROW IN WATER?
Gavin says, IT APPEARS THAT WAY,
BUT THEY ACTUALLY GROW
ON PLANTS LIKE THESE FIRST.
THEN WHEN THE CRANBERRIES
ARE NICE AND RIPE,
THE FARMERS FLOOD
THE WHOLE AREA WITH WATER,
MAKING ALL THOSE JUICY
CRANBERRIES FLOAT TO THE TOP.
MAKES THEM MUCH EASIER
TO COLLECT.
HEH HEH!
DON'T YOU JUST
LOVE CRANBERRIES?!
Bebe says, OH, YEAH!
I JUST LOVE
CRANBERRY JUICE!
Mo says, I LOVE CRANBERRY MUFFINS!
Bebe says, OH, OH, AND CRANBERRY SAUCE.
Gavin says, YET ANOTHER TASTY AND HEALTHY
FOOD GROWN RIGHT HERE IN CANADA.
Gavin throws a cranberry in the air and eats it.
[Slide whistle]
Gavin says, MMM, MMM!
YUMMY GOODNESS.
Bebe says, OKAY, GAVIN. BYE!
Mo says, BYE.
[Rumbling stomach]
Bebe says, WHOA. YOU SOUND HUNGRY, MO!
Mo nods as he says, MM-HM.
Bebe says, I KNOW JUST THE PERSON
WHO CAN HELP US OUT.
Bebe and Mo run beside a steel counter in a large kitchen.
Bebe says, HEY, CHEF LEE!
Chef Lee says, HEY, MO! HEY, BEBE.
HOW ARE YOU?
[Stomach rumbles loudly]
Mo says, UGH.
Chef Lee says, MO, YOU SOUND
REALLY HUNGRY.
Bebe says, THAT'S WHY WE CAME

Mo says, OH, COOL!
SO, HOW'S THIS WORK?
Chef Lee says, I'M GOING TO FIRST PUT

[Bleating]
[Upbeat music plays]
Andrea stands by a wall.
Text reads “Primary four to six. Teacher Andrea.”
Andrea says, NOW, IT'S IMPORTANT
TO REMEMBER,
NO MATTER WHERE
YOU GET YOUR FOOD-
WHETHER IT'S
AT THE GROCERY STORE
AND YOU PREPARE IT YOURSELF,
OR YOU GO TO A RESTAURANT
TO EAT, YOU HAVE TO HAVE
A BALANCED DIET.
NOW LET'S JOIN ZOEY
AS SHE GOES EXPLORING
AND DISCOVERS
THE ORIGINS OF FOOD.
The animated sun rises.
An animated question mark rides a unicycle past a house. The question mark carries a flag with a question mark on it.
[Squeaking wheel, dog barking, squeaking shoe]
[Cheerful music plays]
Zoey has long dark hair. She picks up a ukulele and strums it.
Zoey sings, MY NAME IS ZOEY
AND THIS IS MY SHOW
I'M FINDING STUFF OUT
THAT YOU WANT TO KNOW
JUST ASK ME A QUESTION
THAT I DON'T KNOW
THAT'S WHY FINDING STUFF OUT
IS THE NAME OF THE SHOW
SO JUST GIVE ME A SHOUT
AND WE'LL FIGURE IT OUT
WITH THE HELP
OF SOME FRIENDS
AND THE FUN NEVER ENDS
[Chime, party horn]
She sings, AWW!
FINDING STUFF OUT
FINDING STUFF OUT
FINDING STUFF OUT
THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT
YEAH
[Chimes]
Zoey pushes a wheelbarrow. She wears a red helmet and red oven mitts. Rope, a hockey stick, blue helmet and baseball bat fill the wheelbarrow.
Zoey says, HEY. GUESS WHAT
ALL THIS STUFF'S FOR.
I'VE DECIDED TO GROW
MY OWN LUNCH.
AN EGG SALAD SANDWICH
WITH TOMATOES AND LETTUCE.
An animated sandwich floats by Zoey’s head.
Zoey says, OKAY,
I'M NOT EXACTLY SURE
WHAT A FARMER'S
SUPPOSED TO WEAR,
OR WHAT A FARMER'S
SUPPOSED TO USE.
ANYWAY- WHY AM I
GROWING MY OWN LUNCH?
TO ANSWER
A SERIOUS QUESTION.
[Beeping]
Zoey turns on a television. A girl with dark hair frowns.
Text beneath her reads “Sara.”
Sara asks, IF THERE WERE
NO GROCERY STORES,
WHERE WOULD WE GET FOOD?
Zoey says,
GOOD QUESTION.
The question mark rides its bike.
[Squeaking tire]
A man pushes a shopping cart down an aisle in a grocery store.
Zoey says, THAT MAKES ME WONDER-
WHERE DOES FOOD COME FROM
IN THE FIRST PLACE?
Zoey holds up uncooked spaghetti.
She asks, LIKE, WHERE WOULD I
GET SPAGHETTI FROM?
A NOODLE TREE?
An animated tree waves.
[Shaking, ding]
Zoey says, THAT DOESN'T SOUND RIGHT,
BUT EVERYTHING YOU GET
FROM THE GROCERY STORES,
INCLUDING JUNK FOOD-
LIKE CHIPS, DOUGHNUTS,
OR HOTDOGS,
Zoey holds up a bowl of chips and a doughnut. A third arm appears from her right shoulder and holds up a hotdog in a bun.
[Slide whistle, slide whistle, slide whistle]
She continues, HAVE TO BE MADE FROM STUFF
THAT WAS GROWN BY A FARMER SOMEWHERE.
An animated farm rides a tractor. He drops seeds and plants grow right away.
[Popping]
Hotdogs, doughnuts and bags of chips grow on the plants.
[Giggling]
[Upbeat music plays]
Zoey says, WHAT WOULD WE DO IF WE COULDN'T
GET FOOD FROM GROCERY STORES?
WOULD WE GROW IT OURSELVES?
I'M GONNA GIVE IT A TRY,
AND BY THE END
OF THE SHOW,
I'LL HAVE THE ANSWER
TO SARA'S QUESTION.
BUT FIRST,
BRENNA HAS A QUESTION
THAT TAKES US RIGHT BACK
TO THE BEGINNING OF IT ALL.
Zoey points her remote at the television.
Brenna has light brown hair. Text beneath her reads “Brenna.”
Brenna asks, WHO INVENTED FOOD?
Zoey holds a caveman doll. The doll stands by three bushes, one with blue beads, one with red beads and one with yellow beads.
Zoey uses a cave man voice and says, OOH, BERRIES ARE DELICIOUS!
BUT WE DON'T KNOW
IF THEY ARE POISON!
OGH, ME HAVE IDEA!
WATCH ANIMALS AND SEE
WHICH BERRIES THEY EAT!
A monkey doll hoots. It leans over the bush with the blue beads.
[Hooting]
Zoey’s caveman says, OOH, MONKEY
IS EATING BERRIES!
HE SEEMS OKAY!
NOW ME EAT BERRIES.
[Munching]
The caveman says, MMM, YUMMY!
BERRIES NOT POISONOUS,
BUT ME EAT TOO MANY!
TUMMY ACHE, AGH!
[Giggling]
Zoey says, ANCIENT HUMANS MAY HAVE FIGURED
OUT WHAT FOODS WERE SAFE TO EAT
BY WATCHING ANIMALS
AND COPYING THEM.
BUT IT WASN'T ALWAYS THE BEST IDEA,
BECAUSE SOME ANIMALS EAT THINGS
THAT CAN MAKE PEOPLE SICK.
THEN ABOUT EIGHT THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED YEARS AGO,
SOMEONE HAD A CRAZY IDEA TO COLLECT SEEDS
AND PLANT THEM IN THE GROUND
An animated woman plants seeds. Plants grow immediately.
[Popping]
AND SEE IF THEY WOULD GROW,
AND THEY DID.
The animated woman says, WOOHOO!
Zoey says, I FOUND OUT IT WAS
THE VERY BEGINNING OF FARMING,
AND IT CHANGED EVERYTHING,
BECAUSE PEOPLE DIDN'T HAVE TO
WANDER AROUND LOOKING FOR FOOD.
THEY COULD START VILLAGES.
AS PEOPLE DISCOVERED
HOW TO GROW NEW FOODS,
THEY STARTED TO TRADE
WITH OTHER VILLAGES.
SOON, EVERYONE HAD A LOT OF
DIFFERENT KINDS OF FOODS TO EAT.
NOW, FOR MY EGG SALAD SANDWICH,
I'LL DEFINITELY NEED
SOME EGGS.
I JUST HAVE TO FIND
SOME CHICKENS.
BUT FIRST, HERE'S A GREAT
CHICKEN QUESTION FROM VANESSA.
[Bells ring]
Vanessa appears on Zoey’s laptop computer screen. Vanessa wears her long dark hair pulled back. Text beneath her reads “Vanessa.”
Vanessa asks, WHY DO CHICKENS LAY
DIFFERENT COLOURED EGGS?
'CAUSE I'VE SEEN BROWN EGGS
AND WHITE EGGS.
THAT'S A TOUGH EGG TO CRACK,
VANESSA, BUT I HAVE SOME EGG-SPERTS
WHO CAN ANSWER YOUR QUESTION.
[Squeak of door hinge]
PLEASE WELCOME
CHICKEN FARMERS
KATE BELBECK
AND HER SON FLETCHER.
[Ukulele strumming]
Kate and Fletcher wear blue shirts. Kate has dark hair and carries a white chicken. Fletcher has short blond hair and carries a brown chicken.
Kate says, HEY, ZOEY.
I HEARD YOU NEEDED
SOME EGG LAYERS
FOR YOUR SANDWICH.
Zoey says, YOU BROUGHT CHICKENS?
HI, CHICKENS!
[Cluck]
Zoey says, YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE
CHICKEN AROUND ME.
THIS IS SO EGG-CITING.
GET IT?
EGG-CITING?
SO, DO YOU OFTEN
LEND CHICKENS TO PEOPLE?
Kate says, WE DO.
WE ACTUALLY RENT CHICKENS
TO PEOPLE
WHO WANT TO HAVE
THEIR OWN FRESHLY LAID
EGGS ALL SUMMER.
The chickens walk in hay around a chicken coop in Zoey’s attick.
Zoey says, THIS IS AWESOME!
CAN I NAME THEM?
Fletcher says, YES. IT'S OKAY
FOR YOU TO NAME THEM.
WE LET EVERYONE
NAME THEM.
Zoey says, OH, BOY.
I'LL NAME THAT ONE MOLLY,
THAT ONE
PRINCESS PUMPERNICKEL,
THAT ONE PIPSQUEAK,
AND THAT ONE CLUCKY.
SO, WHY DO CHICKENS LAY
DIFFERENT COLOURED EGGS?
Kate explains, IN THE BEGINNING,
ALL EGGS ARE WHITE
INSIDE THE CHICKEN
AND DIFFERENT BREEDS
WILL LAY DOWN
A DIFFERENT COLOUR OR PIGMENT
IN THE LAST FEW HOURS
BEFORE THEY'RE LAID.
Fletcher says, THESE THREE CHICKENS HERE
LAY BROWN EGGS,
AND THE CHICKEN
OVER THERE,
SHE WILL LAY BLUE EGGS.
IF YOU GET A CROSS BETWEEN
THE BROWN EGG LAYERS
AND THE BLUE EGG LAYERS,
YOU CAN GET A GREEN EGG
FROM THEM.
Zoey asks, GREEN EGGS?
IS THAT WHERE GREEN EGGS
AND HAM COME FROM?
[Drum rim shot, Chuckling]
Zoey asks, SO, ARE BLUE EGGS
BLUE INSIDE?
Kate says, ACTUALLY, NO.
THEY'RE ALL THE SAME
INSIDE THE SHELL.
Zoey asks, SO, WHAT DO THEY EAT?
Kate holds out a bag of grain.
[Bag crinkling]
Kate says, WELL, THEY ACTUALLY EAT
THIS GRAIN FOOD
THAT'S JUST A MIX
OF GRAINS ALL CRUMBLED UP.
Fletcher says, SO, HOW YOU FEED THEM
IS YOU JUST GET A BIT OF FOOD
AND YOU CAN SPRINKLE IT
ON THE GROUND, AND THEY'LL
EVENTUALLY EAT IT.
Chickens peck at the grains on the ground.
Zoey asks, HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE
FOR THEM TO LAY EGGS?
A COUPLE WEEKS?
Fletcher says, NO, NOT EVEN CLOSE.
THEY'LL ALL LAY
ONE EGG A DAY,
STARTING RIGHT AWAY.
Zoey says, THAT MEANS I'M GONNA HAVE
FOUR EGGS TODAY!
Kate says, I HOPE YOU LIKE OMELETS.
Zoey says, FOUR EGGS A DAY? THAT'S--
Zoey taps on her handheld device.
[Beeping]
Zoey continues, --TWENTY-EIGHT EGGS A WEEK!
AND THEN I'LL HAVE--
(BEEPING)
Zoey says, --ONE HUNDRED AND TWELVE EGGS A MONTH!
AND THEN I'LL HAVE--
[Beeping]
Zoey says, ONE THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED AND FORTY-FOUR EGGS A YEAR!
THAT MEANS I'LL HAVE—
[Beeping]
Zoey says, SIX HUNDRED AND SEVENTY TWO EGG SALAD SANDWICHES!
The room shakes as Zoey yells.
[Rumbling]
She yells, AHH! SO MANY SANDWICHES!
AHHH!
[Squawking]
[Squeaking]
Zoey shouts, YOU'RE GONNA MAKE MY HEAD EXPLODE!
[Popping]
Text reads “You’re gonna make my head explode.”
[Sighing]
Zoey says, I'M GONNA HAVE TO GET CRACKIN'.
A chicken says, I'M GONNA HAVE TO GET LAYIN'!
Zoey says, THANKS FOR LENDING ME
YOUR CHICKENS, GUYS.
I'LL TAKE EGG-CELLENT CARE OF THEM.
Kate says, NO PROBLEM, ZOEY.
WE KNOW YOU'LL BE AN
EGG-CEPTIONAL CHICKEN HANDLER.
[Chuckling]
[Rooster crowing]
The sun rises over dark trees.
Zoey gathers eggs from her chicken coops.
She says, CLUCKY, PUMPERNICKEL!
SUCH BEAUTIES.
[Clucking]
Zoey turns on her laptop computer. Nine children appear in squares across the screen. Text reads “Ask a Friend.”
[Beeping]
Children’s voices say ASK A FRIEND
HEY, GUYS.
WHAT ARE YOUR FAVOURITE FOODS
THAT ARE MADE WITH EGGS?
Children give different answers, EGGS WITH TOAST.
HARDBOILED EGGS.
AN EGG SANDWICH.
EGG SALAD AND TUNA SANDWICH.
CAKE.
OMMELETS BECAUSE THEY TASTE REALLY GOOD.
PANCAKES.
I LIKE AN OVER EASY WITH SOME BACON ON THE SIDE.
EGG SANDWICH AND EGG SALAD.
EGG SANDWICH BUT WITH LIKE, KETCHUP AND UH, BROCCOLI.
Zoey says, HMM. I'LL TRY THAT.
NOW, WHAT ELSE DO I NEED
FOR MY SANDWICH
BESIDES EGGS?
Zoey looks up “Sandwich Recipes.”
[Chime]
She says, OH YEAH, BREAD!
I ACTUALLY GOT
A QUESTION ABOUT BREAD.
A girl with long light brown hair wears a head band.
Text beneath her reads “Auxance.”
Auxance asks, WHERE DOES BREAD COME FROM?
[Ding]
Zoey says, THAT GIVES ME
A GREAT IDEA FOR--
[Fanfare plays on trumpets]
Animated Zoey spins the globe on her finger. Text reads “My Great Challenge.”
Zoey announces, MY GREAT CHALLENGE
She says, TODAY WE'RE PLAYING—WHAT’S THAT FOOD MADE FROM?
Text reads “what’s that food made from?”
Zoey says, MELISSA, CHIARA,
YOU'RE TEAM LUNCH.
A blonde-haired girl and black-haired girl high five.
[hands smack]
They say, YAY!
Zoey says, DANIELLE, ANDREAS,
YOU'RE TEAM CRUNCH.
A boy with glasses and a boy with short hair high five.
[Hands smack]
They say, YEAH! YEAH!
Zoey says, EACH TEAM WILL HAVE TO MATCH UP
EACH OF THE FAMILIAR FOODS
OVER HERE ON THE TABLES
WITH THE PLANT OR ANIMAL
THAT THEY'RE MADE FROM,
OVER THERE.
A red table has bowls and bottles of food. Another table has pictures of plants and animals.
Zoey says, LET'S PULL NOODLES
TO SEE WHO GOES FIRST.
Zoey compares the length of uncooked spaghetti noodles.
She says, OKAY, MUNCH,
YOU GUYS ARE GOING FIRST.
GET MATCHING!
Chiara says, SO, DO WE TAKE
THE CHOCOLATE FIRST?
UM, WHERE DID IT GO?
Melissa says, THERE?
Chiara says, SORTA LOOK
LIKE COCOA BEANS.
YEAH, I THINK
IT GOES HERE.
GOES THERE.
A green check mark appears.
[Chime]
Zoey says,
THAT'S RIGHT.
CHOCOLATE IS MADE
BY ROASTING THE BEANS
FROM INSIDE THIS
WEIRD-LOOKING COCOA PLANT POD.
A man chops a cocoa pod off a tree.
[Chop]
Zoey says, TEAM CRUNCH, GO.
TEAM CRUNCH
SELECTED THE POPCORN
AND THEY'RE MATCHING IT
WITH THE CORN,
AND THEY'RE RIGHT.
A green checkmark appears.
[Chime]
Zoey says, HEAT UP DRIED CORN KERNELS
AND THEY BECOME POPCORN.
Chiara says, THIS SHOULD GO--
THE CINNAMON STICKS.
I THINK
IT GOES THERE.
Melissa says, OKAY.
Zoey says, THEY'RE MATCHING THE CINNAMON
STICKS WITH THE SUGARCANE,
AND THAT'S NOT RIGHT.
[Buzz]
A boy says,
THE LOLLIPOP.
Zoey sarys, TEAM CRUNCH IS MATCHING THE
LOLLIPOP WITH THE SUGARCANE.
THAT'S RIGHT!
LOLLIPOPS ARE MOSTLY
MADE OF SUGAR,
WHICH IS MADE BY BOILING THIS
TALL GRASS CALLED SUGARCANE.
Melissa says, BREAD MAYBE?
Chiara says, OKAY.
Melissa says, YEAH, IT GOES HERE.
A green checkmark appears.
[Chime]
A boy mutters, PEANUT BUTTER
SHOULD GO ON--
A green checkmark appears.
[Chime]
Zoey says, THAT'S RIGHT.
PEANUT BUTTER'S MADE
WITH PEANUTS,
WHICH GROWS UNDERGROUND ON
THE ROOTS OF THE PEANUT PLANT.
Chiara and Melissa say, CHEESE.
Chiara says, I'M SURE IT GOES
WITH THE COW.
Melissa says, YEAH.
A green checkmark appears.
[Chime]
Zoey says, THAT WAS AN EASY ONE.
A boy says, CHEESE.
A green checkmark appears.
[Chime]
Zoey says, REAL EASY.
Chiara says, I THINK THE MAPLE SYRUP
IS FROM A TREE.
THAT ONE OR THAT ONE?
OKAY.
Melissa says, MAYBE IT'S WRONG,
MAYBE IT'S RIGHT.
Zoey says, IT'S RIGHT.
MAPLE SYRUP IS MADE
WITH THE SAP OF THE MAPLE TREE,
WHICH GETS BOILED DOWN
TO BECOME THICK AND SUGARY.
Maple sap pours from a jug to a cup.
[Splash]
Zoey says, TEAM CRUNCH
IS PUTTING THEIR CHOCOLATE
IN FRONT OF THE CINNAMON TREE.
[Buzz]
NOPE!
Melissa says, A LOLLIPOP.
Chiara says, PUT IT THERE.
[Buzzer]
Zoey says, AND TEAM MUNCH ALSO GETS
THE CINNAMON TREE WRONG.
[Buzz]
Hands put a loaf of bread in front of the picture of wheat.
A green checkmark appears.
[Chime]
Zoey says, AUXANCE, HERE'S THE ANSWER
TO YOUR QUESTION.
Auxance asks, WHERE DOES BREAD COME FROM?
[Upbeat music plays]
Zoey says, BOTH TEAMS PUT THEIR BREAD
IN FRONT OF THE WHEAT,
AND THEY'RE RIGHT!
WHEAT SEEDS ARE GROUND UP
TO MAKE FLOUR,
WHICH IS THE MAIN INGREDIENT
IN BREAD.
Chiara says, SALT, UM--
Melissa suggests, THE OCEAN IS SALTY?
Chiara says, OKAY, PUT IT THERE.
Melissa says, I THINK THAT'S WRONG.
A green checkmark appears.
[Chime]
Zoey says, ACTUALLY, THAT'S RIGHT.
MOST SALT COMES FROM
OCEAN WATER.
A boy says, SEA SALT.
The girls say, PEANUT BUTTER.
Chiara says, WHERE DOES THAT GO?
Melissa says, IT HAS PEANUTS!
Chiara says, YEAH.
A green checkmark appears.
[Chime]
A boy says, CINNAMON STICKS.
AH, NO!
WE SHOULD'VE SWITCHED.
Zoey says, THAT'S RIGHT,
BECAUSE CINNAMON
IS MADE FROM THE BARK
OF THE CINNAMON TREE.
A boy puts the bowl of cinnamon in front of the cocoa tree.
He says, LET'S PUT IT HERE.
[Buzz]
The other boy says, OKAY.
Chiara says, MMM, FRENCH FRIES.
Melissa says, WITH THE POTATOES.
Chiara says, POTATOES.
Zoey says, THAT'S ANOTHER EASY ONE.
A green checkmark appears.
[Chime]
A boy carries the French fries to the picture of potatoes and says, FRENCH FRIES.
Chiara says, POPCORN!
Melissa says, WITH CORN, BECAUSE IT'S POPCORN.
A green checkmark appears.
[Chime]
One of the girls says, AND IT'S THE LAST THING.
A boy says, MAPLE SYRUP, THAT
COMES FROM A TREE,
SO IT MAKES SENSE.
A green checkmark appears.
[Chime]
Zoey says, OKAY.
YOU GUYS ARE DONE.
TEAM MUNCH, YOU HAVE
EIGHT MATCHES OUT OF TEN.
The girls high five.
[Hands smack]
The girls cheer, YEAH! YEAH!
Zoey says, AND TEAM CRUNCH,
YOU ALSO HAVE EIGHT MATCHES
OUT OF TEN.
The boys high five.
[Hands smack]
The boys cheer, YEAH! YEAH!
Zoey says, SO, IT'S A TIE.
THANKS FOR PLAYING—
WHAT’S THAT FOOD MADE FROM?
Text reads “what’s that food made from?”
Zoey says, NOW, LET'S NOT ALL
LET THIS GO TO WASTE.
COME ON.
Zoey and the two teams run to the table of snacks.
They shout, I WANT THE CORN!
I WANT THE CHOCOLATE!
CHOCOLATE!
MMM.
I WANT THE POP.
[Peppy music plays]
Animated bread, steak, milk and an apple smile and dance.
Zoey sings, TAKE A GOOD LOOK
AT THAT SANDWICH
OR AT THAT BUBBLE-GUM
[Bubble blowing]
Zoey sings, DO YOU WONDER
WHAT THEY'RE MADE OF?
WHERE DID THEY COME FROM?
WE CAN'T HAVE BREAD
WITHOUT GROUND UP WHEAT
GUM USED TO BE MADE
WITH RUBBER FROM THIS TREE
SUCH A CHEWY TREAT
SEE THOSE FISH STICKS
ON YOUR PLATE
THEY'RE MADE FROM HADDOCK,
SOLE, OR COD
THAT CANDY FLOSS
IS MADE WITH YAK HAIR
ALL BALLED UP INTO A WAD
An X appears over a picture of a yak.
[Buzz]
Zoey exclaims, WHAT?
IT'S MADE OF SUGAR?
OH!
Zoey sings, WELL,
IF YOU'RE EVER FEEDING
AND WONDERING
WHAT YOU'RE EATING
COME SING YOUR SONG WITH ME
A fish kisses Zoey’s cheek.
[Kiss noise]
Maegan appears on Zoey’s computer screen. Maegan has dark hair pulled back from her face and a purple jacket. Text under her reads “Maegan.”
Maegan asks, HOW WAS KETCHUP INVENTED?
Zoey says, WHO DOESN'T LOVE KETCHUP?
Zoey picks up a glass bottle of ketchup.
[Slide whistle]
Zoey looks at her computer screen at a web page about ketchup.
Zoey says, SO, I CHECKED
AND IT'S MADE
WITH SQUISHED TOMATOES,
SUGAR, VINEGAR,
AND IT GOES WITH EVERYTHING.
BUT THE FIRST KETCHUP
INVENTED DIDN'T TASTE
ANYTHING LIKE THIS STUFF.
I FOUND OUT THAT IT WAS MADE
FROM MUSHROOMS,
WALNUTS, OYSTERS,
OR LITTLE FISH
CALLED ANCHOVIES. YUMMY.
LUCKILY, A SCIENTIST
NAMED JAMES MEASE
INTRODUCED TOMATOES
IN HIS NEW KETCHUP RECIPE
AND THE REST IS HISTORY.
WE MAKE TONS OF GOOD SAUCES
OUT OF TOMATOES,
BUT THEY DIDN'T ALWAYS HAVE
SUCH A GOOD REPUTATION.
Two animated pirates say,
YAR, HAR, HAR!
OOP!
Their animated ship sails off the edge of the world.
They yell, WHOA!
Zoey yells, THE FLAT EARTH CORNER.
Text reads “The Flat Earth Corner.”
Zoey wears a hat with a feather in it, a black velvet robe and a fake black moustache. She holds a tomato and stands beside a table with baskets of tomatoes on it.
[Crowd shouts and talks]
Zoey says, BEHOLD! THE DEADLY
AND HORRIBLE TOMATO!
SAVE YOURSELF
AND YOUR CHILDREN
FROM THIS STINKY,
POISONOUS DEVIL FRUIT!
IT WAS BROUGHT TO EUROPE
BY FOOLISH TRAVELERS.
WHATEVER YOU DO,
DON'T EAT THEM
OR YOU WILL DIE
A HORRIBLE DEATH!
INSTEAD, TRY A SAFE
AND HEALTHY FRUIT,
LIKE THIS APPLE.
Zoey bites a tomato.
[Crunch]
She says, AHH!
IT WAS A TOMATO!
AHH! THE END IS NEAR! GAH!
Zoey sits beside her computer.
She says, FOR OVER 200 YEARS,
PEOPLE IN EUROPE
WERE AFRAID OF TOMATOES?
THAT WAS THANKS TO A BRITISH
BARBER, SURGEON, AND SCIENTIST
NAMED JOHN GIRARD.
HE DESCRIBED TOMATOES AS
STINKING AND BEING POISONOUS,
AND EVERYONE BELIEVED HIM.
THIS MYTH BEGAN BECAUSE PEOPLE
ATE TOMATOES ON PLATES
MADE OUT OF A METAL CALLED
PEWTER, AND GOT REALLY SICK.
BUT IT WASN'T
THE TOMATO'S FAULT.
THERE WAS A POISONOUS CHEMICAL
IN THE PEWTER CALLED LEAD
THAT SEEPED INTO THE TOMATOES.
An animated tomato turns blue.
[Buzz]
Zoey says, IT'S TOO BAD FOR SO LONG
EUROPEANS WERE MISSING OUT.
IMAGINE SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS
WITHOUT THE TOMATO SAUCE.
IT'S JUST NOT THE SAME!
[Happy music plays]
An animated house shakes and two metal legs appear as it stands. Two arms poke out. Text reads “Do try this at home.” The house steps on a car.
[Crashing]
Zoey says, DO TRY THIS AT HOME.
UH-OH!
Zoey looks down at her chickens.
[Clucking]
Zoey says, YOU GUYS ARE THE MESSIEST
ROOMMATES EVER.
LOOK AT THIS PLACE.
YOU KNOW,
IF WE LIVED IN A WORLD
WITHOUT GROCERY STORES,
YOU MIGHT THINK YOU COULD GET
YOUR FOOD DIRECTLY FROM FARMERS.
WELL, IT MIGHT NOT BE THAT EASY.
BECAUSE A LOT OF THE FOOD
WE GET FROM GROCERY STORES
COMES FROM
ALL AROUND THE WORLD.
SO, THE NEXT TIME
YOU'RE AT THE STORE,
LOOK CLOSE AT THE LABEL
AND IT WILL SHOW YOU WHERE
IN THE WORLD IT COMES FROM.
SEE? THIS PEAR SAYS
IT'S FROM SOUTH AFRICA.
Zoey points to South Africa on a globe.
She says, THAT'S WAY DOWN HERE!
THIS GARLIC
COMES FROM CHINA.
[Whoosh]
Zoey points to China on the globe.
She says, AND THESE GRAPES
WERE GROWN IN MEXICO.
Zoey spins the globe and points to Mexico.
Zoey says, CHECK OUT YOUR FRUITS
AND VEGETABLES AT HOME.
SEE WHICH ONES ARE GROWN
CLOSE TO WHERE YOU LIVE.
A line of fruit wears different regional clothes.
The food says, HEH HEH.
WOO-HOO-HOO!
HEY HEY!
An animated orange wearing a cowboy hat says, HUH? Y'ALL AIN'T FROM AROUND HERE, ARE YA?
Zoey says, NOW, HERE'S A QUESTION
FROM ALYSSA.
[Chiming]
Alyssa pops up on Zoey’s laptop screen. Alyssa has long curly hair. Text beneath her reads “Alyssa.”
Alyssa asks, CAN YOU GROW FOOD IN THE CITY?
Zoey says,
TO ANSWER ALYSSA'S QUESTION,
I'M MEETING NICHOLAS TAYLOR-
A PLANT SCIENCE MANAGER
WHO WORKS AT A FARM.
Nicholas has short brown hair. Zoey walks on a sidewalk and stops outside a tall brick building.
She asks, UH, WHERE'S THE FARM?
[Dramatic music plays]
Zoey says, THESE ARE JUST BIG OLD
FACTORY BUILDINGS.
Nicholas says, HEY, ZOEY!
I'M UP HERE!
Zoey looks up at the top of a building.
She says, OH! THERE YOU ARE!
HI, NICHOLAS!
[Running feet]
Nicholas stands in a green house.
[Upbeat music plays]
He says, HEY. WELCOME TO LUFA FARMS,
THE WORLD'S FIRST
COMMERCIAL ROOFTOP GREENHOUSE.
Zoey says, WHOA. YOU REALLY CAN GROW FOOD IN THE CITY.
BUT WHAT IS YOUR FARM DOING ON THE ROOF?
Nicholas says, GOOD QUESTION.
WHAT HAPPENS IS,
MORE AND MORE PEOPLE
ARE FILLING UP ALL THE SPACES
AROUND THE CITIES
AND WE'RE RUNNING
OUT OF LAND.
WHAT WE DID WAS,
RATHER THAN TO HAVE
A FARM OUTSIDE THE CITY
FAR AWAY WHERE WE'D HAVE TO
BRING THE FOOD IN,
WE BROUGHT THE FARM
RIGHT INTO THE CITY.
NOW, BECAUSE THERE'S
SO MANY BUILDINGS,
THEY DECIDED TO USE AREAS
THAT WERE NOT BEING USED
BY THE PEOPLE,
WHICH IS ON TOP OF THE ROOFS.
WHAT'S COOL ABOUT BEING
ON TOP OF A ROOF
IS THAT YOU CAPTURE
ALL THAT SUN
THAT WOULD NORMALLY
BE HITTING THE ROOF
AND NOW IT'S HITTING
THE CUCUMBERS
AND HELPING THEM GROW.
[Spraying water]
Nicholas says, HERE'S ONE OF OUR
LEBANESE CUCUMBERS.
WANNA TRY IT?
Zoey says, YOU MEAN,
PICK IT OFF THE TREE?
Nicolas says, YEAH, GO FOR IT!
Zoey asks, WITHOUT WASHING IT?
YOU DON'T HAVE TO.
Nicholas says, WE DON'T USE ANY
SYNTHETIC PESTICIDES HERE.
Zoey says, OH! NO POISONOUS CHEMICALS
TO KILL THE BUGS? COOL!
Zoey picks the cucumber
[Snap]
She takes a bite.
[Crunch]
Zoey says, MMM.
THAT'S REALLY GOOD.
Nicholas says, WHEN YOU GROW VEGGIES
REALLY CLOSE TO
WHERE THE PEOPLE
ARE PICKING IT UP,
YOU CAN PICK IT
AS FRESH AS POSSIBLE
SO IT'S SUPER GOOD
AND PACKED WITH NUTRIENTS.
Zoey says, SO WHEN FOOD HAS TO TRAVEL
A LONG TIME TO GET HERE,
IT LOSES ITS FLAVOUR.
Nicholas says, ABSOLUTELY.
Zoey says, AND NICHOLAS TELLS ME
THAT WHEN FOOD TRAVELS
FOR IT TO GET TO US,
A LOT OF IT SPOILS
AND IS WASTED.
AND ALSO THAT TRANSPORTING IT
MEANS BURNING A LOT OF FUEL.
THAT CAUSES POLLUTION.
HEY, CAN I HELP YOU
PLANT SOMETHING?
Nicholas asks, WANNA PLANT
SOME LETTUCE?
Zoey says, SURE!
Nicholas says, ALL RIGHT,
LET'S DO IT.
SO, WE'RE GONNA BE PLANTING
SOME BUTTERHEAD LETTUCE.
THEY'RE PROBABLY
GETTING A LITTLE ANGRY
SITTING IN THIS TRAY
'CAUSE WE PROBABLY SHOULD'VE
PLANTED THEM A COUPLE DAYS AGO.
SO, WHAT'S COOL
ABOUT THIS SYSTEM
IS THAT WE CAN GROW
A LOT OF LETTUCE
REALLY CLOSE TOGETHER
SUPER EFFICIENTLY.
Zoey says, LOOK, A LITTLE BUG.
THAT REMINDS ME OF A QUESTION
THAT I GOT FROM AMBER.
The question mark rides a unicycle.
[Squeaking wheel]
Amber has long brown hair with a bow in it. Text beneath her reads, “Amber.”
Amber asks, IS BUG POISON ON PLANTS
BAD FOR PEOPLE?
Amber sprays water from a bottle.
[Spray, spray]
[Upbeat music plays]
Nicholas says, IN FARMS, PEOPLE CAN USE
A LOT OF BUG POISON
IN THE FORM OF PESTICIDES,
[Spraying]
Nicholas continues, AND IT HAS BEEN SHOWN
TO BE KINDA ROUGH FOR PEOPLE
WHICH IS WHY MOST PEOPLE
WILL SUGGEST
THAT YOU ALWAYS WASH
YOUR FRUITS AND VEGGIES.
[Running water]
He says,
SYNTHETIC PESTICIDES HERE,
SO WE FIGHT BUGS WITH BUGS.
RIGHT HERE IN FRONT OF US,
WE HAVE A LOT OF BAD GUY BUGS
CALLED APHIDS.
THEY'RE EATING OUR PEPPERS.
ONE APHID IN ABOUT ONE DAY
CAN MAKE ABOUT TEN MORE APHIDS.
AND THEN THOSE TEN
MAKE TEN, AND THEN THOSE TEN
MAKE ANOTHER TEN,
AND THEN THE PLANT
IS JUST COMPLETELY COVERED.
[Chuckle]
SO, WHAT WE USE TO FIGHT
THESE BUGS IS MORE BUGS.
Zoey says, WHAT?
Nicholas opens a sack and says, IN THIS CASE--
Zoey exclaims, WHOA! LADYBUGS!
Nicholas says, LADYBUGS.
THAT'S RIGHT.
[Giggling]
Nicholas says, BUT THESE GUYS,
THEY'RE NOT GONNA HARM US.
THEY'RE NOT INTERESTED
IN ME AT ALL.
IF ANYTHING, THEY'RE PROBABLY
CONFUSED ABOUT MY ARM HAIR.
Ladybugs crawl on Nicholas’s arm.
[Giggling]
Zoey says, WHOA.
Nicholas says, SO, THEY'RE GONNA
CRAWL AROUND
AND THEY'RE GONNA LOOK
FOR THESE APHIDS
ON THESE LEAVES.
Zoey points to a ladybug on her arm.
She says, IT TICKLES.
[Giggling]
Nicholas says, LADYBUG HIGH FIVE.
Zoey says, THERE YOU GO.
Nicholas says, ARE YOU READY?
Zoey says, NO, I'M GOOD.
NO, YOU'RE GONNA
SQUISH THEM!
Nicholas says, SO, ALL THESE GUYS
ARE GONNA HANG OUT HERE
BECAUSE THIS IS
THE BEST PLACE IN TOWN
FOR LADYBUGS.
Zoey says, YEAH, 'CAUSE THEY EAT
THE APHIDS.
IT'S EATING ONE NOW!
A ladybug eats an aphid.
Nicholas says, THAT'S RIGHT,
BUT THEY DON'T
JUST EAT APHIDS.
THEY EAT ALL SORTS
OF OTHER LITTLE PESTS.
THEY'RE KINDA LIKE
THE BIG BOSS
COMPARED TO ALL
THE OTHER BUGS.
Zoey says, THAT'S CRAZY.
Nicholas says, YEAH.
Zoey says, THEY'RE SO SMALL.
Nicholas says, THEY DON'T HAVE
A TOUGH NAME
BUT THEY'RE ONE OF THE
TOUGHEST SPECIES WE HAVE.
HERE, YOU WANNA
PUT THAT OUT?
Zoey says, SURE.
Zoey hangs a box on a tree.
Nicholas says, THAT'S IT, PERFECT.
Zoey says, GOOD JOB, LITTLE LADYBUG.
Nicholas says, THIS IS A SWEET PEPPER.
WANNA PICK IT?
Zoey says, SURE!
[Snap]
[Giggling]
Nicholas says, THERE YOU GO.
VEGETABLES YOU CAN EAT
THE SAME DAY THEY WERE PICKED.
Zoey says, FROM A FARM IN THE CITY,
ON A ROOFTOP.
THANKS, NICHOLAS.
Nicholas gives Zoey a thumbs up.
[Clucking]
[Upbeat music plays]
Zoey says, THIS IS SO EXCITING.
I HAVE FRESH VEGETABLES NOW,
AND WITH THE EGGS
FROM THE CHICKEN,
MY LUNCH IS REALLY STARTING
TO COME TOGETHER.
BUT YOU DON'T HAVE
TO GET SOMEONE ELSE
TO GROW YOUR VEGGIES.
YOU CAN GROW 'EM YOURSELF
BY PLANTING SEEDS
IN YOUR BACKYARD GARDEN
OR IN WINDOW BOXES.
YOU CAN EVEN GROW NEW VEGGIES
FROM OLD LEFTOVERS.
MY FRIENDS TRIED IT OUT.
[Beeping]
Zoey points her remote at the television. Text reads “The Experiment.”
Zoey announces, THE EXPERIMENT
[Fanfare plays on trumpet]
A girl with medium-length curly light brown hair stands beside a girl with long light brown hair. On a table in front of them are eggs, bowls and pots .
Zoey says, ANDELAINE AND VIVIAN
FOUND OUT THAT YOU CAN GROW
FRESH VEGETABLES
FROM KITCHEN SCRAPS
LIKE THESE.
The long-haired girls says, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
The girl with curly hair says, I'M GONNA TRY AND PUT
THIS PIECE OF CELERY
IN WATER AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
Zoey narrates, YOU TAKE THE BOTTOM PART
FROM A CELERY BUNCH
AND SIT IT IN SOME WARM WATER
IN THE SUN.
The long-haired girls says, LET'S WAIT A COUPLE OF WEEKS
AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
The other girl says, OKAY.
Zoey says, IT GROWS NEW LEAVES!
TAKE THE SPROUTING CELERY
AND PLANT IT IN SOME EARTH.
Adelaine and Vivian put the sprouting celery in soil.
A hand plants seeds in soil.
Zoey says, TRY TAKING THE SEEDS
FROM INSIDE A PEPPER PLANT,
PLANT THEM IN SOIL,
AND GIVE THEM
A LITTLE BIT OF WATER.
PUT YOUR POTS IN THE SUN
AND WAIT FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS.
LOOK IT UP!
YOU CAN DO THIS
WITH MANY KINDS OF VEGGIES.
Adelaine and Vivian put pots on the table. Plants grow in each pot.
The long-haired girls says, I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS WORKED.
The curly-haired girl says, I KNOW!
Zoey says, SO, THERE YOU GO.
PLANT YOUR TABLE SCRAPS
AND HAVE YOUR OWN
INDOOR MINI FARM.
NOW, THAT'S LOCAL PRODUCE.
The girls wave and say, BYE, ZOEY!
Zoey says, BYE-BYE!
Plants say, BYE-BYE.
BYE.
BYE.
BYE!
Zoey says, THESE VEGGIES HAVE HAD
SOME TIME TO GROW.
AND LOOK AT THEM NOW.
LOOKS LIKE I CAN ADD SOME CELERY
TO MY EGG SALAD.
THAT MEANS I HAVE EVERYTHING
I NEED TO MAKE A SANDWICH.
AND I CAN FINALLY
ANSWER THE QUESTION
THAT STARTED OFF THE SHOW.
[Beeping]
Sara appears and asks her question again.
Sara asks IF THERE WERE
NO GROCERY STORES,
WHERE WOULD WE GET FOOD?
Zoey says THE BIG ANSWER IS…
Text reads “The big answer is…”
Zoey plays a keyboard.
[Keyboard music plays]
Zoey WE CAN GROW IT OURSELVES
OR BUY IT FROM LOCAL FARMERS.
[Upbeat music plays]
Zoey says, IN FACT, IT LOOKS LIKE
WE'LL BE DOING THIS
MORE AND MORE IN THE FUTURE.
GROWING FOOD CLOSE TO HOME CAN
HELP AVOID SOME BIG PROBLEMS
LIKE WASTE, POISON AND
PESTICIDES, AND AIR POLLUTION.
PLUS, THE FOOD IS HEALTHIER
AND TASTES WAY BETTER.
THAT ROOFTOP FARM I VISITED
IS JUST ONE AMAZING WAY
TO GROW FOOD IN THE CITY.
THERE ARE KIDS PLANTING GARDENS
IN THEIR SCHOOL YARDS
AND COMMUNITY FOOD GARDENS ARE
POPPING UP ALL OVER THE PLACE.
PEOPLE HAVE EVEN TURNE
SWIMMING POOLS INTO FISH FARMS!
IT'S AMAZING WHAT YOU CAN GROW
IF YOU GET CREATIVE.
NOW, ALL I HAVE TO DO
IS MAKE MY SANDWICH.
WELL, I FORGOT TO GROW WHEAT
TO MAKE BREAD.
[Slide whistle]
Zoey picks up a loaf of bread.
She says, GOOD THING MY MOM
PICKED UP A LOAF OF BREAD
FROM THE LOCAL
FARMER'S MARKET.
THAT STILL KINDA COUNTS, RIGHT?
Zoey makes an egg salad sandwich.
She bites into it and says, THIS IS THE BEST HOMEGROWN
