SHOW ON THE ROAD.
AND IF YOU'RE INTO CLEAN EATING
YOU MIGHT WANT TO LOOK AWAY NOW.
Cooper adds,
SAHARA'S COOKING UP A STORM
IN THE KITCHEN.
LET'S CHECK IT OUT.
Toast pops out of a toaster.
Text reads, “How to do Stuff Good”.
Sahara jumps up and down as she dances behind the craft table.
Text reads, “Sahara”.
Sahara says,
I EAT WORMS.
THERE, I SAID IT.
ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?
I THINK WORMS ARE DELICIOUS,
AND WEIRD, AND WONDERFUL.
AND I THINK YOU'RE GONNA LOVE
'EM TOO.
LET'S GET WORMY.
Worms and dirt sit in a clay bowl.
Sahara says,
FIRST THINGS FIRST.
DON'T EAT REAL WORMS.
YOU WILL GET SICK.
PLEASE DON'T EAT REAL WORMS.
FOR THIS TASTY SLASH GROSS HACK
YOU'LL NEED RED JELLY, GELATINE...
HOT WATER, CREAM, REUSABLE
SILICONE STRAWS, GREEN
FOOD COLOURING, CHOCOLATE
BICKIES, AND CLEAN HANDS.
FIRST STEP, YOU'RE GONNA NEED
TO DISSOLVE YOUR RED JELLY INTO
THE HOT WATER.
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE AN ADULT ON
STANDBY.
An adult gives a thumbs up.
Sahara mixes her ingredients in a measuring cup.
She says,
NOW MIX.
BE REALLY CAREFUL, 'CAUSE THE
WATER IS HOT.
ONCE YOUR JELLY'S DISSOLVED,
ADD YOUR GELATINE.
THIS'LL MAKE IT GO FROM A JELLY
TO MORE OF A GUMMY TYPE OF
TEXTURE.
I LOVE JELLY SO THIS IS GONNA BE
GREAT.
WAIT FOR IT TO COOL DOWN.
A stopwatch counts down.
Sahara picks up a bowl of cream off the table.
She says,
NOW THAT IT'S COOL ADD YOUR
CREAM AND GREEN FOOD COLOURING.
THIS IS LOOKING A BIT PINK FOR A
WORM SO JUST A BIT OF GREEN.
I'M GONNA ADD ONE DROP AT A
TIME.
GETTING THERE BUT NOT QUITE.
THAT LOOKS PRETTY WORMY TO ME.
WE'RE GONNA TIE OUR STRAWS LIKE
THIS.
THEN, WE'RE GONNA PLACE IT INTO
A NARROW CONTAINER.
LIKE... THIS!
Sahara drops colourful straws into a tall clear cup.
She says,
THEN A SECOND JUG, SO WE DON'T
MAKE TOO MUCH OF A MESS.
NOW WE'RE GONNA POUR OUR WORMY
MIXTURE INTO THE STRAWS.
THIS MIGHT GO EVERYWHERE BUT,
OH WELL.
Sahara pours her jelly mixture into the cup.
She says,
I'M TRYING TO POUR THE LIQUID
INTO THE NARROW CONTAINER
BECAUSE THE STRAWS ARE GONNA
SUCK IT UP ANYWAY.
SUCK IT UP STRAWS.
I DID SAY IT WAS GONNA GET A BIT
MESSY.
POP THIS IN THE FRIDGE FOR A FEW
HOURS, THEN LET'S GET STARTED
ON THE DIRT.
The stopwatch counts down.
Sahara is tossed a bag of cookie crumble.
She says,
CHUCK YOUR CHOKKIE BICKIES
INTO A BAG.
NOW, TIME TO SMASH.
PLEASE DON'T SMASH YOUR HANDS.
WE WANT THIS TO HAVE DIRT
CONSISTENCY.
TASTY, TASTY DIRT.
THIS LOOKS PRETTY DIRTY TO ME.
LET'S GO SEE IF THE WORMS HAVE
WORKED.
The cup with the straws sits on the table beside Sahara.
Sahara smiles.
She says,
THEY'RE DONE.
NOW GRAB ONE AT A TIME.
WARM IT UP.
GRAB IT WHERE'S THERE NO
JELLY... AND SQUEEZE.
IT'S WORKING!
Sahara squeezes a jelly worms onto a plate.
She adds,
AND THERE YOU HAVE IT, YOUR
FIRST JELLY WORM.
THAT IS PRETTY WORMY TO ME.
SAY HELLO TO MY WORMY FRIENDS.
TWO AT A TIME!
WHAT CAN I SAY.
I'VE DONE IT.
PUT YOUR DIRT IN A BOWL AND IT'S
TIME TO ADD THE WORMS.
YOU WANT TO GET SOME ON TOP,
SOME HIDDEN.
JUST HOW YOU WOULD NORMALLY FIND
WORMS.
MAKING A LITTLE WORM FARM.
THIS LOOKS REALLY REALISTIC.
Sahara mixes the jelly worms with the cookie crumbs.
She says,
MAYBE A LITTLE BIT TOO
REALISTIC.
JUST ONE THING LEFT TO DO.
IT'S TIME TO EAT SOME WORMS.
Sahara eats a worm.
She says,
A LITTLE SLIMY.
OR CRUNCHY.
A LITTLE RASPBERRY.
YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST, WORMS
ARE DELICIOUS.
A bird is perched on a birdhouse in a tree.
Text reads, “How to do Stuff Good”.
Vinnie rushes to the craft table holding up two peace signs.
Text reads, “Vinnie”.
Pots filled with dirt lay on the table in front of Vinnie.
He asks,
HOW DO YOU MAKE ORDINARY
EVERYDAY HOUSEPLANTS WEIRD?
YOU TURN THEM UPSIDE DOWN.
CHECK OUT MY FLIPPED GARDEN.
A row of plastic bottles filled with dirt and plants hangs from the ceiling. Vinnie sprays them with water.
Text reads, “Topsy Turvy Planter”.
Vinnie says,
FOR THIS ECO HACK YOU'RE
GONNA NEED A BIG BOTTLE,
SOME FLY MESH...
SOME TWINE, A HOLE PUNCH,
AND SOME PLANTS AND SOIL.
I'M USING A NASTURTIUM.
LET'S GET STARTED.
FIRST, CUT THE BOTTOM OF YOUR
BIG BOTTLE.
I'M GONNA NEED AN ADULT TO HELP
WITH THIS.
THANKS ADULT.
WHAT'S HAPPENED TO THIS BOTTLE
IS THEY'VE CUT TWO STRAPS AT
THE END.
THIS IS WHERE WE'RE GONNA HANG
OUR PLANT FROM.
THEN PUT THE FLY MESH IN THE
BOTTLE.
YOU NEED TO PUT THIS SO THE SOIL
DOESN'T FALL OUT.
WE'RE GONNA NEED TO CUT A HOLE
IN IT SO THE PLANT CAN POKE
THROUGH.
(Horn honking)
Text reads, “Adult Alert”.
Vinnie cut fly mesh.
He says,
YOU WANT TO MAKE TWO DIAGONAL
CUTS IN THE MIDDLE,
AND A SLIT LIKE THIS.
NOW WE HAVE THIS.
PUT THIS IN THE BOTTLE
AND PUSH IT ALL THE WAY DOWN,
'TIL IT COMES OUT THE NECK.
WE HAVE A HOLE WHERE THE PLANT
CAN COME THROUGH.
NOW IT'S TIME TO PUT THE PLANT
THROUGH THE NECK OF THE BOTTLE.
IF WE JUST SHOVE IT IN THERE
IT'S GONNA FALL APART AND GET
REALLY WRECKED.
SO I'VE GOT A HACK FOR YOU.
YOU GET THE PLANT AND YOU WRAP
IT UP IN THIS PIECE OF PAPER.
MAKE SURE YOU'RE USING GLOVES
WHEN YOU'RE HANDLING SOIL.
NOW, CAREFULLY WRAP YOUR PLANT,
MAKING SURE NOT TO HURT ANY OF
THE LEAVES.
OKAY, MAKE SURE YOU ROLL IT
SUPER TIGHT, SO IT CAN FIT
THROUGH THE NECK OF THE BOTTLE.
NOW, PUSH IT THROUGH.
I KNOW THIS IS A BIT FIDDLY.
BUT JUST KEEP PUSHING IT
THROUGH.
THERE WE GO.
GENTLY PULL IT THROUGH.
OKAY JUST PULL FROM THE TIP SO
YOU'RE NOT PULLING THE PLANT AS
MUCH.
AH, OKAY THERE WE GO.
NOW FOR THE LAST BIT.
YOU HAVE TO GRAB THE ROOTS AND
SLOWLY PULL THE PAPER OFF
THE PLANT.
EH, AH, AH!
ALMOST THERE.
WOO-HOO!
WE DID IT!
FINALLY.
PUT A LITTLE BIT OF SOIL IN
THE BOTTOM.
JUST TO MAKE SURE IT'S NICE AND
SNUG IN THERE.
THERE WE GO.
WHAT WE'RE GONNA NEED TO DO IS
PUNCH SOME HOLES IN THESE
STRAPS.
YOU CAN USE TAPE BUT I'M GONNA
PUT TWINE THROUGH MY HOLES.
POKE YOUR TWINE THROUGH AND JUST
TIE IT UP, THAT'S HOW YOU'RE
GONNA HANG IT.
Vinnie hangs his upside-down plant. He dumps soil into the plastic bottle.
He says,
THERE WE GO.
OOH, IT LOOKS AMAZING.
AND A LITTLE BIT MORE SOIL.
THERE WE GO.
AH!
ARE WE GOOD?
WE ARE GOOD!
AND THERE YOU HAVE IT, A HANGING
UPSIDE DOWN PLANT.
WATER THEM EVERY DAY AND YOU CAN
WATCH THEM GROW UP.
OR IN THIS CASE GROW DOWN.
SEE YA!
Gas rises from a beaker in a lab.
Text reads, “How to do Stuff Good”.
Yasmin jumps up and spins behind the craft table.
Text reads, “Yasmin”.
A jar sits on the table in front of Yasmin.
Yasmin says,
HERE'S SOMETHING THAT'S
SO BIZARRE.
IT'S ONE FOR THE HOW THE HECK
DOES THAT EVEN HAPPEN BOOKS.
The metal chain wiggles out of the jar.
Text reads, “Floating Chain”.
Yasmin says,
TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.
IT'S A CHAIN OF TINY METAL BALLS
ALL LINKED UP AND ALL COILED IN
THIS JAR.
NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY,
RIGHT?
BUT CHECK OUT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN
I PULL OUT THE METAL CHAIN
AND... DROP IT.
The chain floats over the jar before it falls to the floor.
Yasmin asks,
HOW DID IT GO SO HIGH?
THE CHAIN SEEMED TO TOTALLY
IGNORE GRAVITY AND CLIMB
STRAIGHT OUT OF THE JUG.
SO WHAT IN THE NAME OF SCIENCE
IS HAPPENING HERE?
WELL SCIENTISTS DON'T EXACTLY
KNOW.
THEY AGREE IT'S MOST LIKELY TO
DO WITH HOW STIFF THE LINKS ARE,
AND HOW THEY'RE COILED ON TOP OF
EACH OTHER.
WHEN THE CHAIN IS DROPPED FROM
THE JUG THE REMAINING CHAIN
LINKS LIFT AT THE FRONT WHICH
CREATES A FORCE DOWN AT THE
OTHER END, WHICH IN TURN CREATES
AN UPWARDS FORCE, AND SO ON.
THEN THE MAGIC HAPPENS.
THE PERSON WHO DISCOVERED THIS
IS CALLED STEVE MOULD, SO THIS
IS KNOWN AS THE MOULD EFFECT.
GIVE IT A GO.
AND YOU COULD EVEN SHOW YOUR
FRIENDS THIS AND START A CHAIN
REACTION.
The chain continues to float as it falls to the floor.
Two people give each other a handshake.
Text reads, “How to do Stuff Good”.
Text continues, “Weirdest Thing About You?”.
Jenna says,
WELL I'VE GOT A REALLY
LONG TONGUE.
She sticks out her tongue. It stretches out past her chin.
Gabe, a dark-haired boy wearing a green t-shirt, says,
I CAN FIT MY WHOLE FIST
INTO MY MOUTH.
DOES THAT COUNT?
He crams his fist in his mouth.
Ashok, a dark-haired boy wearing a blue Hawaiian shirt, says,
I'M DOUBLE JOINTED IN
MY THUMB AND PEOPLE GET PRETTY
GROSSED OUT WHEN I DO THINGS
LIKE THIS.
Sahara smiles. Her shoulder blades pop out of her back.
Sahara says,
THEY JUST POP OUT.
I FIND THAT SO STRANGE.
Marianne says,
BUT HEY, BEING WEIRD AND
DIFFERENT, THAT'S THE BEST.
Darts are thrown at a dart board.
Text reads, “How to do Stuff Good”.
Jenna jumps up and down. She rests her head in her hands as she leans on the craft table.
Jenna says,
WE'RE ALL ABOUT WEIRD
AND WONDERFUL TODAY.
BUT, I DON'T THINK ANYBODY'S
GONNA BE READY TO SEE HOW GROSS
MY PRANK IS.
IF YOU'VE GOT A WEAK STOMACH,
LOOK AWAY, 'CAUSE I'M MAKING
THIS.
Jenna squeezes mushed banana on her arm.
Text reads, “DIY Boil”.
Jenna says,
FOR THIS HACK YOU'LL NEED
BANANAS, FLOUR, HONEY, PVA
GLUE, AND A DROPPER LIKE THIS.
FIRST STEP IS, GRAB YOUR BANANA.
AND YOU'RE GONNA MASH IT UP
UNTIL IT'S A PASTE.
SO, THE BANANA IS GONNA BE THE
PASTE OF OUR PUS.
URGH!
Jenna gags as she mashes bananas in a mixing bowl.
She continues,
ADD A LITTLE BIT OF FLOUR AND A
LITTLE BIT OF HONEY UNTIL IT'S A
REALLY GLOOPY PASTE.
THIS WOULD PROBABLY TASTE NICE
IF IT WASN'T LOOKING SO
DISGUSTING.
Clumps of Jenna’s mixture fall off her spoon.
Jenna says,
THAT LOOKS GROSS.
PERFECT!
NEXT GRAB YOUR PVA GLUE AND
PAINT A PATCH WHEREVER YOU WANT
YOUR BOIL TO BE, I'M GONNA DO IT
RIGHT HERE ON MY FOREARM, UNTIL
IT LOOKS LIKE THIS.
A thin layer of glue covers part of Jenna’s forearm.
Jenna says,
NOW FILL UP YOUR DROPPER WITH
THE BANANA PUS-EY MIX.
OH IT'S LOOKING SO GROSS AND
DISGUSTING.
SQUEEZE IN YOUR PUS PASTE.
URGH!
Jenna uses a dropper to squeeze the mixture under the layer of glue.
She adds,
THAT LOOKS DISGUSTING.
NOW PREPARE TO DAZZLE SLASH
DISGUST YOUR BESTIES WITH A PUS
FILLED EXPLOSION.
LET'S GO.
Text reads, “How to do Stuff Good”.
Jenna walks downstairs to the den. Marianne and Cooper sit on the couch.
Jenna asks,
HEY, FAM, DOES THIS LOOK NORMAL?
Cooper and Marianne look at Jenna’s boil.
They reply, EW!
Jenna asks,
CAN SOMEONE POP IT FOR ME?
Cooper answers,
EW, NO.
GROSS!
Marianne says, NO, EW!
Jenna replies,
NEVER MIND, I'LL JUST POP
IT MYSELF.
Cooper says, NO!
Marianne adds, EW!
Jenna squeezes the mixture out of the glue on her arm.
Cooper says, OH GOSH!
Cooper and Marianne run away from Jenna. Jenna sits on the couch.
She says,
WELL I'D CALL THAT PRANK
A WONDERFUL SUCCESS.
UGH, OKAY, NO.
Jenna looks at her boil and gags.
A sign is painted with purple paint on a roller
The sign reads, “How to do Stuff Good”.
Ashok dances and waves behind the craft table.
Text reads, “Ashok”.
A glass jar and a string of lights lay in front of Ashok on the table.
Ashok says,
SO YOU'VE HEARD OF A
TERRARIUM.
LITTLE TINY JARS FULL OF TINY
PLANTS.
ALL VERY CUTE.
BUT WHAT ABOUT A FREAKY
SPOOKY TERRARIUM.
NOTHING CUTE ABOUT THAT.
Terrariums holding small sticks spin on a platter.
Text reads, “Terrible Terrarium”.
Ashok says,
FOR THIS CREEPY CRAFT YOU'LL
NEED A LARGE JAR, A SMALL
STRING OF FAIRY LIGHTS,
SOME CELLOPHANE, TWIGS,
BLACK CARDBOARD CUT INTO A
CIRCLE, CREEPY CRAWLIES,
DRIED MOSS, AND A LOW
TEMPERATURE GLUE GUN.
(Horn honking)
Text reads, “Adult Alert”.
Ashok says,
PLUS AN ADULT TO HELP YOU WITH
THIS THING.
FIRST STEP, GRAB THE LID OF
YOUR JAR AND THE CARDBOARD
AND STICK IT IN.
NEXT, GRAB YOUR CELLOPHANE AND
WRAP YOUR FAIRY LIGHTS IN IT.
JUST FOLD THAT OVER.
AND PUT A NICE LITTLE PIECE OF
GLUE, AND STICK IT.
BASICALLY YOU JUST WANT TO
CREATE LIKE A LITTLE ENVELOPE.
NEXT, JUST STICK YOUR FAIRY
LIGHTS ON THE INSIDE OF YOUR
LID.
Ashok glues the fairy light to the inside of a lid.
Ashok continues,
NOW ADD YOUR STICKS, AND GLUE
THEM ONTO THE SIDE OF THE
BATTERY PACK.
AS YOU CAN SEE I'VE PAINTED
THESE BLACK.
Ashok glues the black twigs to the inside of the lid.
He says,
NOW LET'S ADD OUR CREEPY
CRAWLIES.
IT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER IF YOU
GET ALL THE GLUE KIND OF STRINGY
FEELING ALL AROUND IT BECAUSE
IT KIND OF MAKES IT LOOK LIKE
SPIDER WEBS.
JUST MAYBE GLUE THE SPIDER TO
THE TREE.
GET OUR OTHER SPIDER.
PUT OUR BAT UP HERE.
NOW WE'RE GONNA ADD OUR MOSS TO
ALL THE PARTS THAT YOU DON'T
WANT TO BE SEEN.
AND I'VE ADDED A BUT IF BLACK
PAINT ON THE TOP SO IT GIVES IT
THAT KIND OF EERIE FEELING OF IT.
WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH YOUR
DESIGN, TURN THE LIGHTS ON, THEN
CAREFULLY PUT THE JAR OVER.
Ashok twists the glass jar onto the upside-down lid. He picks up his terrarium.
Ashok says,
OH, YEAH!
THAT LOOKS REALLY COOL...
AND DISTURBING AT THE SAME TIME.
WELL, THERE YOU GO, SPOOKY
TERRARIUM TO GIVE YOUR BEDROOM
A CREEPY VIBE.
Two people give each other a handshake.
Text reads, “How to do Stuff Good”.
Text continues, “Weirdest Thing You’ve Eaten?”.
Sahara says,
THE WEIRDEST THING I'VE
EVER EATEN WOULD BE SNAILS,
WHICH I HAD AT A FRENCH
RESTAURANT FOR MY BIRTHDAY AND
THEY WERE ACTUALLY SURPRISINGLY
GOOD.
Jenna says,
PROBABLY THIS THING THAT
MY MUM MAKES THAT'S CALLED
GRANDMA'S SNOT.
Marianne says,
PROBABLY SOMETHING MY SISTER
COOKS.
(Laughing)
Jenna adds,
AND IT TASTES HORRIBLE, ACCORDING
TO ME, BUT MY MUM LOVES IT FOR
SOME REASON.
Vinnie says,
IT WAS SQUID RAMEN AND IT
WAS LIKE BLACK BECAUSE OF THE
INK.
IT WAS PRETTY LIKE I DON'T KNOW
INTENSE AND WEIRD.
A switch is flipped. Batteries light up a pink sign.
The sign reads, “How to do Stuff Good”.
Gabe laughs as he bangs his fist on the craft table. He gives the peace sign.
A drawing of a pig and a tall clear container filled with water stand on the table.
Gabe says,
SCIENCE TIME.
THIS IS A PIG.
THIS IS A CONTAINER.
WATCH ME FLIP IT.
Gabe lowers the pig drawing behind the water. The image is reversed.
Gabe says,
FOR THIS EXPERIMENT ALL
YOU NEED IS A CURVED GLASS WITH
WATER, AND A PICTURE OF A PIG.
WELL IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A
PIG, I JUST LOVE 'EM.
SO NOW THE PIG IS FACING
THIS WAY.
AND NOW...
Gabe lowers the pig drawing behind the water.
He asks,
DID WE DO IT?
DID WE FLIP THE PIG?
WE FLIPPED THE PIG!
WE FLIPPED THE PIG!
THE PIG IS FLIPPED.
BUT WHY?
HOW?
I'M SO GLAD YOU ASKED.
THE PIG FLIPPING - OR WHATEVER
YOU WANT TO FLIP - ALL HAPPENS
BECAUSE OF SOMETHING CALLED
REFRACTION.
Text reads, “Refraction” backward.
Text continues, “Is The Bending Of Light”.
Gabe says,
AH-HUM, OTHER WAY PLEASE.
AH, BETTER.
REFRACTION IS THE BENDING OF
LIGHT.
ANYTIME LIGHT TRAVELS THROUGH
ONE SURFACE TO ANOTHER IT BENDS.
SO THE LIGHT BENDS WHEN IT
ENTERS THE WATER AND THEN BENDS
AGAIN WHEN IT LEAVES THE WATER.
CHECK IT OUT WITH THESE ARROWS.
NOW IT'S POINTING THIS WAY.
BUT NOW...
IT'S POINTING THAT WAY.
Gabe lowers a picture of an arrow behind the water. The arrow points the other way.
Gabe says,
THIS WAY.
THAT WAY.
THIS WAY.
THAT WAY.
Gabe moves the arrow above and below the water.
He continues,
THIS PIGGY WENT TO MARKET.
AND THIS PIGGY TOOK AN
ALTERNATIVE ROUTE.
WHICH WAY AM I GOING?
THIS WAY!
OR THIS WAY!
I'M NOT SURE ANYMORE!
REFRACTION!
IT'S WEIRD, AND IT'S SCIENCE,
SO I FLIPPING LOVE IT!
Gabe drops the pig drawing as he raises his arms above his head.
He asks, SHOULD I GET THAT BACK?
Toast pops out of a toaster.
Text reads, “How to do Stuff Good”.
Cooper wears a red apron as he jumps toward the craft table.
Text reads, “Cooper”.
Cookie ingredients sit in glass bowls in front of Cooper.
Cooper asks,
WHAT'S WEIRD AND WONDERFUL
ABOUT CHOC CHIP COOKIES?
NOT MUCH.
SO, HOW DO YOU TAKE THEM TO THE
NEXT LEVEL?
JUST ADD SPIDERS.
AH!
Cooper finds a plastic spider in his hand. He looks frightened.
Cookies with spider chocolate chips rotate on a platter.
Text reads, “Spider Cookies”.
Cooper says,
FOR THIS COOK YOU'RE GONNA NEED
BUTTER, SUGAR, BROWN SUGAR,
AN EGG, VANILLA EXTRACT,
SELF-RAISING FLOUR, CHOC CHIPS,
AND CLEAN HANDS.
POP IN YOUR BUTTER AND YOUR
SUGAR.
AND USE A MIXER TO CREAM THEM.
Cooper mixes butter and sugar with a stand mixer.
(Horn honking)
Text reads, “Adult Alert”.
Cooper continues,
ADD YOUR BROWN SUGAR, AND JUST
KEEP MIXING.
YOU KNOW IT'S DONE WHEN IT'S A
NICE PALE SHADE OF YELLOW.
ADD THE EGG AND THE VANILLA.
KEEP BEATING.
NEXT STEP, ADD THE SELF-RAISING
FLOUR AND THE CHOC CHIPS.
A WOODEN SPOON TO COMBINE IT
ALL.
ALRIGHT, LET'S GET STUCK IN.
Cooper mixes the ingredients with his hands.
He says,
MY DOUGH'S LOOKING PERFECT.
NOW IT'S TIME TO PUT IT ON THE
TRAY.
PUT IT INTO BALLS LIKE THAT SIZE.
AND THEN PUT IT ON IT AND THEN
JUST SQUASH IT WITH A SPOON OR
WITH YOUR FINGERS.
Cooper flattens a ball of cookie dough on a baking sheet. He makes five more.
Cooper says,
SO ABOUT THAT SIZE.
OKAY.
(Horn honking)
Text reads, “Adult Alert”.
Cooper adds,
NOW THEY'RE READY, WE CAN POP
THEM IN THE OVEN FOR ABOUT
EIGHT MINUTES.
BUT WE DON'T WANT TO FULLY COOK
THEM, 'CAUSE THIS IS WHERE IT'S
ABOUT TO GET TRICKY.
AFTER THE EIGHT MINUTES PLACE A
FEW CHOC CHIPS ON TOP.
BUT CAREFUL, THEY'RE HOT.
AND MAKE SURE YOU POINT THEM
FACE DOWN, IT'S GONNA BE VERY
HELPFUL LATER.
THESE CHOC CHIPS THEY'RE GONNA
BE OUR SPIDERS.
NOW THAT THAT'S DONE, BACK IN
THE OVEN FOR TWO MINUTES.
THANKS, ADULT.
Cooper hands the baking tray to an adult.
Later, the cookies rest on a plate.
Cooper says,
NOW THEY'RE FULLY COOKED WE CAN
MAKE THE SPIDER PATTERNS WITH
JUST A TOOTHPICK.
HERE WE GO.
IT'S BASICALLY PAINTING WITH
CHOCOLATE.
WHY AM I PUTTING SPIDERS ON A
COOKIE?
IT'S THE WEIRD AND WONDERFUL
EPISODE, WHY NOT?
Cooper uses a toothpick to draw a spider’s legs with melted chocolate chips.
He says,
BINGO BANGO!
THEY'RE DONE.
SLIGHTLY SCARY CHOCOLATE CHIP
COOKIES TO THE DEN.
SEE YA!
Text reads, “How to do Stuff Good”.
Marianne and Jenna sit at the round purple table in the den.
Jenna says, LET'S GO COOPER.
Marianne adds,
COME ON COOPER.
WE'RE HUNGRY!
Cooper carries his cookies downstairs to the den. He lays the plate on the table.
Cooper says,
MY NEW CREATION COMING IN HOT.
Marianne replies, LOOKS SO COOL.
Jenna says, OOH, PLUS, SURPRISE.
(Knocking)
Jenna knocks on the table. Marianne’s worms and cookie crumbs appear.
Marianne says, WHOA, WE GOT WORMS.
Jenna leans forward.
She says,
I'M LEGIT SO EXCITED TO EAT
SPIDERS, WORMS AND DIRT.
LET'S DIG IN.
Cooper replies, OKAY.
Jenna eats a cookie while Cooper and Marianne eat worms.
Cooper says,
MMM.
DRUM ROLL PLEASE.
Cooper, Marianne, and Jenna pound on the table with their hands. They pick up green paddles that read “Yay”.
Cooper, Marianne, and Jenna shout,
YAY!
Marianne says,
THOSE WERE SO GOOD.
I THOUGHT IT WAS GONNA BE BAD
BECAUSE IT LOOKS DISGUSTING BUT
THEY WERE REALLY GOOD.
Cooper adds,
I KNOW, AND THE DIRT WAS
GREAT AS WELL.
Marianne replies, YEAH!
Jenna says,
THE COOKIES THEY WERE
SUPER CRUNCHY, GOOD JOB.
ALRIGHT, HOPE YOU GOT YOUR
WEIRD AND WONDERFUL FIX TODAY.
WE'LL SEE YOU NEXT TIME.
Cooper, Marianne, and Jenna wave.
Cooper says, SEE YA!
Marianne and Jenna add, BYE!

'EM TOO.
LET'S GET WORMY.
Worms and dirt sit in a clay bowl.
Sahara says,
FIRST THINGS FIRST.

YOU'LL NEED RED JELLY, GELATINE...
HOT WATER, CREAM, REUSABLE
SILICONE STRAWS, GREEN
FOOD COLOURING, CHOCOLATE
BICKIES, AND CLEAN HANDS.
FIRST STEP, YOU'RE GONNA NEED
TO DISSOLVE YOUR RED JELLY INTO
THE HOT WATER.
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE AN ADULT ON
STANDBY.
An adult gives a thumbs up.
Sahara mixes her ingredients in a measuring cup.
She says,
NOW MIX.
BE REALLY CAREFUL, 'CAUSE THE
WATER IS HOT.
ONCE YOUR JELLY'S DISSOLVED,
ADD YOUR GELATINE.
THIS'LL MAKE IT GO FROM A JELLY
TO MORE OF A GUMMY TYPE OF
TEXTURE.
I LOVE JELLY SO THIS IS GONNA BE
GREAT.
WAIT FOR IT TO COOL DOWN.
A stopwatch counts down.
Sahara picks up a bowl of cream off the table.
She says,
NOW THAT IT'S COOL ADD YOUR
CREAM AND GREEN FOOD COLOURING.
THIS IS LOOKING A BIT PINK FOR A
WORM SO JUST A BIT OF GREEN.
I'M GONNA ADD ONE DROP AT A
TIME.
GETTING THERE BUT NOT QUITE.
THAT LOOKS PRETTY WORMY TO ME.
WE'RE GONNA TIE OUR STRAWS LIKE
THIS.
THEN, WE'RE GONNA PLACE IT INTO
A NARROW CONTAINER.
LIKE... THIS!
Sahara drops colourful straws into a tall clear cup.
She says,
THEN A SECOND JUG, SO WE DON'T
MAKE TOO MUCH OF A MESS.
NOW WE'RE GONNA POUR OUR WORMY
MIXTURE INTO THE STRAWS.
THIS MIGHT GO EVERYWHERE BUT,
OH WELL.
Sahara pours her jelly mixture into the cup.
She says,
I'M TRYING TO POUR THE LIQUID
INTO THE NARROW CONTAINER
BECAUSE THE STRAWS ARE GONNA
SUCK IT UP ANYWAY.
SUCK IT UP STRAWS.
I DID SAY IT WAS GONNA GET A BIT
MESSY.
POP THIS IN THE FRIDGE FOR A FEW
HOURS, THEN LET'S GET STARTED
ON THE DIRT.
The stopwatch counts down.
Sahara is tossed a bag of cookie crumble.
She says,
CHUCK YOUR CHOKKIE BICKIES
INTO A BAG.
NOW, TIME TO SMASH.
PLEASE DON'T SMASH YOUR HANDS.
WE WANT THIS TO HAVE DIRT
CONSISTENCY.
TASTY, TASTY DIRT.
THIS LOOKS PRETTY DIRTY TO ME.
LET'S GO SEE IF THE WORMS HAVE
WORKED.
The cup with the straws sits on the table beside Sahara.
Sahara smiles.
She says,
THEY'RE DONE.
NOW GRAB ONE AT A TIME.
WARM IT UP.
GRAB IT WHERE'S THERE NO
JELLY... AND SQUEEZE.
IT'S WORKING!
Sahara squeezes a jelly worms onto a plate.
She adds,
AND THERE YOU HAVE IT, YOUR
FIRST JELLY WORM.
THAT IS PRETTY WORMY TO ME.
SAY HELLO TO MY WORMY FRIENDS.
TWO AT A TIME!
WHAT CAN I SAY.
I'VE DONE IT.
PUT YOUR DIRT IN A BOWL AND IT'S
TIME TO ADD THE WORMS.
YOU WANT TO GET SOME ON TOP,
SOME HIDDEN.
JUST HOW YOU WOULD NORMALLY FIND
WORMS.
MAKING A LITTLE WORM FARM.
THIS LOOKS REALLY REALISTIC.
Sahara mixes the jelly worms with the cookie crumbs.
She says,
MAYBE A LITTLE BIT TOO
REALISTIC.
JUST ONE THING LEFT TO DO.
IT'S TIME TO EAT SOME WORMS.
Sahara eats a worm.
She says,
A LITTLE SLIMY.
OR CRUNCHY.
A LITTLE RASPBERRY.
YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST, WORMS
ARE DELICIOUS.

Vinnie rushes to the craft table holding up two peace signs.
Text reads, “Vinnie”.
Pots filled with dirt lay on the table in front of Vinnie.
He asks,
HOW DO YOU MAKE ORDINARY
EVERYDAY HOUSEPLANTS WEIRD?
YOU TURN THEM UPSIDE DOWN.
CHECK OUT MY FLIPPED GARDEN.
A row of plastic bottles filled with dirt and plants hangs from the ceiling. Vinnie sprays them with water.
Text reads, “Topsy Turvy Planter”.
Vinnie says,
FOR THIS ECO HACK YOU'RE
GONNA NEED A BIG BOTTLE,
SOME FLY MESH...
SOME TWINE, A HOLE PUNCH,
AND SOME PLANTS AND SOIL.
I'M USING A NASTURTIUM.
LET'S GET STARTED.
FIRST, CUT THE BOTTOM OF YOUR
BIG BOTTLE.
I'M GONNA NEED AN ADULT TO HELP
WITH THIS.
THANKS ADULT.
WHAT'S HAPPENED TO THIS BOTTLE
IS THEY'VE CUT TWO STRAPS AT
THE END.
THIS IS WHERE WE'RE GONNA HANG
OUR PLANT FROM.
THEN PUT THE FLY MESH IN THE
BOTTLE.
YOU NEED TO PUT THIS SO THE SOIL
DOESN'T FALL OUT.
WE'RE GONNA NEED TO CUT A HOLE
IN IT SO THE PLANT CAN POKE
THROUGH.
(Horn honking)
Text reads, “Adult Alert”.
Vinnie cut fly mesh.
He says,
YOU WANT TO MAKE TWO DIAGONAL
CUTS IN THE MIDDLE,
AND A SLIT LIKE THIS.
NOW WE HAVE THIS.
PUT THIS IN THE BOTTLE
AND PUSH IT ALL THE WAY DOWN,
'TIL IT COMES OUT THE NECK.
WE HAVE A HOLE WHERE THE PLANT
CAN COME THROUGH.
NOW IT'S TIME TO PUT THE PLANT
THROUGH THE NECK OF THE BOTTLE.
IF WE JUST SHOVE IT IN THERE
IT'S GONNA FALL APART AND GET
REALLY WRECKED.
SO I'VE GOT A HACK FOR YOU.
YOU GET THE PLANT AND YOU WRAP
IT UP IN THIS PIECE OF PAPER.
MAKE SURE YOU'RE USING GLOVES
WHEN YOU'RE HANDLING SOIL.
NOW, CAREFULLY WRAP YOUR PLANT,
MAKING SURE NOT TO HURT ANY OF
THE LEAVES.
OKAY, MAKE SURE YOU ROLL IT
SUPER TIGHT, SO IT CAN FIT
THROUGH THE NECK OF THE BOTTLE.
NOW, PUSH IT THROUGH.
I KNOW THIS IS A BIT FIDDLY.
BUT JUST KEEP PUSHING IT
THROUGH.
THERE WE GO.
GENTLY PULL IT THROUGH.
OKAY JUST PULL FROM THE TIP SO
YOU'RE NOT PULLING THE PLANT AS
MUCH.
AH, OKAY THERE WE GO.
NOW FOR THE LAST BIT.
YOU HAVE TO GRAB THE ROOTS AND
SLOWLY PULL THE PAPER OFF
THE PLANT.
EH, AH, AH!
ALMOST THERE.
WOO-HOO!
WE DID IT!
FINALLY.
PUT A LITTLE BIT OF SOIL IN
THE BOTTOM.
JUST TO MAKE SURE IT'S NICE AND
SNUG IN THERE.
THERE WE GO.
WHAT WE'RE GONNA NEED TO DO IS
PUNCH SOME HOLES IN THESE
STRAPS.
YOU CAN USE TAPE BUT I'M GONNA
PUT TWINE THROUGH MY HOLES.
POKE YOUR TWINE THROUGH AND JUST
TIE IT UP, THAT'S HOW YOU'RE
GONNA HANG IT.
Vinnie hangs his upside-down plant. He dumps soil into the plastic bottle.
He says,
THERE WE GO.
OOH, IT LOOKS AMAZING.
AND A LITTLE BIT MORE SOIL.
THERE WE GO.
AH!
ARE WE GOOD?
WE ARE GOOD!
AND THERE YOU HAVE IT, A HANGING
UPSIDE DOWN PLANT.
WATER THEM EVERY DAY AND YOU CAN
WATCH THEM GROW UP.
OR IN THIS CASE GROW DOWN.
SEE YA!
Gas rises from a beaker in a lab.

Yasmin jumps up and spins behind the craft table.
Text reads, “Yasmin”.
A jar sits on the table in front of Yasmin.
Yasmin says,
HERE'S SOMETHING THAT'S
SO BIZARRE.
IT'S ONE FOR THE HOW THE HECK
DOES THAT EVEN HAPPEN BOOKS.
The metal chain wiggles out of the jar.
Text reads, “Floating Chain”.
Yasmin says,
TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.
IT'S A CHAIN OF TINY METAL BALLS
ALL LINKED UP AND ALL COILED IN
THIS JAR.
NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY,
RIGHT?
BUT CHECK OUT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN
I PULL OUT THE METAL CHAIN
AND... DROP IT.
The chain floats over the jar before it falls to the floor.
Yasmin asks,
HOW DID IT GO SO HIGH?
THE CHAIN SEEMED TO TOTALLY
IGNORE GRAVITY AND CLIMB
STRAIGHT OUT OF THE JUG.
SO WHAT IN THE NAME OF SCIENCE
IS HAPPENING HERE?
WELL SCIENTISTS DON'T EXACTLY
KNOW.
THEY AGREE IT'S MOST LIKELY TO
DO WITH HOW STIFF THE LINKS ARE,
AND HOW THEY'RE COILED ON TOP OF
EACH OTHER.
WHEN THE CHAIN IS DROPPED FROM
THE JUG THE REMAINING CHAIN
LINKS LIFT AT THE FRONT WHICH
CREATES A FORCE DOWN AT THE
OTHER END, WHICH IN TURN CREATES
AN UPWARDS FORCE, AND SO ON.
THEN THE MAGIC HAPPENS.
THE PERSON WHO DISCOVERED THIS
IS CALLED STEVE MOULD, SO THIS
IS KNOWN AS THE MOULD EFFECT.
GIVE IT A GO.
AND YOU COULD EVEN SHOW YOUR
FRIENDS THIS AND START A CHAIN
REACTION.
The chain continues to float as it falls to the floor.
Two people give each other a handshake.
Text reads, “How to do Stuff Good”.
Text continues, “Weirdest Thing About You?”.
Jenna says,
WELL I'VE GOT A REALLY
LONG TONGUE.
She sticks out her tongue. It stretches out past her chin.
Gabe, a dark-haired boy wearing a green t-shirt, says,
I CAN FIT MY WHOLE FIST
INTO MY MOUTH.
DOES THAT COUNT?
He crams his fist in his mouth.
Ashok, a dark-haired boy wearing a blue Hawaiian shirt, says,
I'M DOUBLE JOINTED IN
MY THUMB AND PEOPLE GET PRETTY
GROSSED OUT WHEN I DO THINGS
LIKE THIS.
Sahara smiles. Her shoulder blades pop out of her back.
Sahara says,
THEY JUST POP OUT.
I FIND THAT SO STRANGE.
Marianne says,
BUT HEY, BEING WEIRD AND
DIFFERENT, THAT'S THE BEST.
Darts are thrown at a dart board.
Text reads, “How to do Stuff Good”.
Jenna jumps up and down. She rests her head in her hands as she leans on the craft table.
Jenna says,
WE'RE ALL ABOUT WEIRD
AND WONDERFUL TODAY.
BUT, I DON'T THINK ANYBODY'S
GONNA BE READY TO SEE HOW GROSS
MY PRANK IS.
IF YOU'VE GOT A WEAK STOMACH,
LOOK AWAY, 'CAUSE I'M MAKING
THIS.
Jenna squeezes mushed banana on her arm.
Text reads, “DIY Boil”.
Jenna says,
FOR THIS HACK YOU'LL NEED
BANANAS, FLOUR, HONEY, PVA
GLUE, AND A DROPPER LIKE THIS.
FIRST STEP IS, GRAB YOUR BANANA.
AND YOU'RE GONNA MASH IT UP
UNTIL IT'S A PASTE.
SO, THE BANANA IS GONNA BE THE
PASTE OF OUR PUS.
URGH!
Jenna gags as she mashes bananas in a mixing bowl.
She continues,
ADD A LITTLE BIT OF FLOUR AND A
LITTLE BIT OF HONEY UNTIL IT'S A
REALLY GLOOPY PASTE.
THIS WOULD PROBABLY TASTE NICE
IF IT WASN'T LOOKING SO
DISGUSTING.
Clumps of Jenna’s mixture fall off her spoon.
Jenna says,
THAT LOOKS GROSS.
PERFECT!
NEXT GRAB YOUR PVA GLUE AND
PAINT A PATCH WHEREVER YOU WANT
YOUR BOIL TO BE, I'M GONNA DO IT
RIGHT HERE ON MY FOREARM, UNTIL
IT LOOKS LIKE THIS.
A thin layer of glue covers part of Jenna’s forearm.
Jenna says,
NOW FILL UP YOUR DROPPER WITH
THE BANANA PUS-EY MIX.
OH IT'S LOOKING SO GROSS AND
DISGUSTING.
SQUEEZE IN YOUR PUS PASTE.
URGH!
Jenna uses a dropper to squeeze the mixture under the layer of glue.
She adds,
THAT LOOKS DISGUSTING.
NOW PREPARE TO DAZZLE SLASH
DISGUST YOUR BESTIES WITH A PUS
FILLED EXPLOSION.
LET'S GO.
Text reads, “How to do Stuff Good”.
Jenna walks downstairs to the den. Marianne and Cooper sit on the couch.
Jenna asks,
HEY, FAM, DOES THIS LOOK NORMAL?
Cooper and Marianne look at Jenna’s boil.
They reply, EW!
Jenna asks,
CAN SOMEONE POP IT FOR ME?
Cooper answers,
EW, NO.
GROSS!
Marianne says, NO, EW!
Jenna replies,
NEVER MIND, I'LL JUST POP
IT MYSELF.
Cooper says, NO!
Marianne adds, EW!
Jenna squeezes the mixture out of the glue on her arm.
Cooper says, OH GOSH!
Cooper and Marianne run away from Jenna. Jenna sits on the couch.
She says,
WELL I'D CALL THAT PRANK
A WONDERFUL SUCCESS.
UGH, OKAY, NO.
Jenna looks at her boil and gags.
A sign is painted with purple paint on a roller
The sign reads, “How to do Stuff Good”.
Ashok dances and waves behind the craft table.
Text reads, “Ashok”.
A glass jar and a string of lights lay in front of Ashok on the table.
Ashok says,
SO YOU'VE HEARD OF A
TERRARIUM.
LITTLE TINY JARS FULL OF TINY
PLANTS.
ALL VERY CUTE.
BUT WHAT ABOUT A FREAKY
SPOOKY TERRARIUM.
NOTHING CUTE ABOUT THAT.
Terrariums holding small sticks spin on a platter.
Text reads, “Terrible Terrarium”.
Ashok says,
FOR THIS CREEPY CRAFT YOU'LL
NEED A LARGE JAR, A SMALL
STRING OF FAIRY LIGHTS,
SOME CELLOPHANE, TWIGS,
BLACK CARDBOARD CUT INTO A
CIRCLE, CREEPY CRAWLIES,
DRIED MOSS, AND A LOW
TEMPERATURE GLUE GUN.
(Horn honking)
Text reads, “Adult Alert”.
Ashok says,
PLUS AN ADULT TO HELP YOU WITH
THIS THING.
FIRST STEP, GRAB THE LID OF
YOUR JAR AND THE CARDBOARD
AND STICK IT IN.
NEXT, GRAB YOUR CELLOPHANE AND
WRAP YOUR FAIRY LIGHTS IN IT.
JUST FOLD THAT OVER.
AND PUT A NICE LITTLE PIECE OF
GLUE, AND STICK IT.
BASICALLY YOU JUST WANT TO
CREATE LIKE A LITTLE ENVELOPE.
NEXT, JUST STICK YOUR FAIRY
LIGHTS ON THE INSIDE OF YOUR
LID.
Ashok glues the fairy light to the inside of a lid.
Ashok continues,
NOW ADD YOUR STICKS, AND GLUE
THEM ONTO THE SIDE OF THE
BATTERY PACK.
AS YOU CAN SEE I'VE PAINTED
THESE BLACK.
Ashok glues the black twigs to the inside of the lid.
He says,
NOW LET'S ADD OUR CREEPY
CRAWLIES.
IT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER IF YOU
GET ALL THE GLUE KIND OF STRINGY
FEELING ALL AROUND IT BECAUSE
IT KIND OF MAKES IT LOOK LIKE
SPIDER WEBS.
JUST MAYBE GLUE THE SPIDER TO
THE TREE.
GET OUR OTHER SPIDER.
PUT OUR BAT UP HERE.
NOW WE'RE GONNA ADD OUR MOSS TO
ALL THE PARTS THAT YOU DON'T
WANT TO BE SEEN.
AND I'VE ADDED A BUT IF BLACK
PAINT ON THE TOP SO IT GIVES IT
THAT KIND OF EERIE FEELING OF IT.
WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH YOUR
DESIGN, TURN THE LIGHTS ON, THEN
CAREFULLY PUT THE JAR OVER.
Ashok twists the glass jar onto the upside-down lid. He picks up his terrarium.
Ashok says,
OH, YEAH!
THAT LOOKS REALLY COOL...
AND DISTURBING AT THE SAME TIME.
WELL, THERE YOU GO, SPOOKY
TERRARIUM TO GIVE YOUR BEDROOM
A CREEPY VIBE.
Two people give each other a handshake.
Text reads, “How to do Stuff Good”.
Text continues, “Weirdest Thing You’ve Eaten?”.
Sahara says,
THE WEIRDEST THING I'VE
EVER EATEN WOULD BE SNAILS,
WHICH I HAD AT A FRENCH
RESTAURANT FOR MY BIRTHDAY AND
THEY WERE ACTUALLY SURPRISINGLY
GOOD.
Jenna says,
PROBABLY THIS THING THAT
MY MUM MAKES THAT'S CALLED
GRANDMA'S SNOT.
Marianne says,
PROBABLY SOMETHING MY SISTER
COOKS.
(Laughing)
Jenna adds,
AND IT TASTES HORRIBLE, ACCORDING
TO ME, BUT MY MUM LOVES IT FOR
SOME REASON.
Vinnie says,
IT WAS SQUID RAMEN AND IT
WAS LIKE BLACK BECAUSE OF THE
INK.
IT WAS PRETTY LIKE I DON'T KNOW
INTENSE AND WEIRD.
A switch is flipped. Batteries light up a pink sign.
The sign reads, “How to do Stuff Good”.
Gabe laughs as he bangs his fist on the craft table. He gives the peace sign.
A drawing of a pig and a tall clear container filled with water stand on the table.
Gabe says,
SCIENCE TIME.
THIS IS A PIG.
THIS IS A CONTAINER.
WATCH ME FLIP IT.
Gabe lowers the pig drawing behind the water. The image is reversed.
Gabe says,
FOR THIS EXPERIMENT ALL
YOU NEED IS A CURVED GLASS WITH
WATER, AND A PICTURE OF A PIG.
WELL IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A
PIG, I JUST LOVE 'EM.
SO NOW THE PIG IS FACING
THIS WAY.
AND NOW...
Gabe lowers the pig drawing behind the water.
He asks,
DID WE DO IT?
DID WE FLIP THE PIG?
WE FLIPPED THE PIG!
WE FLIPPED THE PIG!
THE PIG IS FLIPPED.
BUT WHY?
HOW?
I'M SO GLAD YOU ASKED.
THE PIG FLIPPING - OR WHATEVER
YOU WANT TO FLIP - ALL HAPPENS
BECAUSE OF SOMETHING CALLED
REFRACTION.
Text reads, “Refraction” backward.
Text continues, “Is The Bending Of Light”.
Gabe says,
AH-HUM, OTHER WAY PLEASE.
AH, BETTER.
REFRACTION IS THE BENDING OF
LIGHT.
ANYTIME LIGHT TRAVELS THROUGH
ONE SURFACE TO ANOTHER IT BENDS.
SO THE LIGHT BENDS WHEN IT
ENTERS THE WATER AND THEN BENDS
AGAIN WHEN IT LEAVES THE WATER.
CHECK IT OUT WITH THESE ARROWS.
NOW IT'S POINTING THIS WAY.
BUT NOW...
IT'S POINTING THAT WAY.
Gabe lowers a picture of an arrow behind the water. The arrow points the other way.
Gabe says,
THIS WAY.
THAT WAY.
THIS WAY.
THAT WAY.
Gabe moves the arrow above and below the water.
He continues,
THIS PIGGY WENT TO MARKET.
AND THIS PIGGY TOOK AN
ALTERNATIVE ROUTE.
WHICH WAY AM I GOING?
THIS WAY!
OR THIS WAY!
I'M NOT SURE ANYMORE!
REFRACTION!
IT'S WEIRD, AND IT'S SCIENCE,
SO I FLIPPING LOVE IT!
Gabe drops the pig drawing as he raises his arms above his head.
He asks, SHOULD I GET THAT BACK?
Toast pops out of a toaster.
Text reads, “How to do Stuff Good”.
Cooper wears a red apron as he jumps toward the craft table.
Text reads, “Cooper”.
Cookie ingredients sit in glass bowls in front of Cooper.
Cooper asks,
WHAT'S WEIRD AND WONDERFUL
ABOUT CHOC CHIP COOKIES?
NOT MUCH.
SO, HOW DO YOU TAKE THEM TO THE
NEXT LEVEL?
JUST ADD SPIDERS.
AH!
Cooper finds a plastic spider in his hand. He looks frightened.
Cookies with spider chocolate chips rotate on a platter.
Text reads, “Spider Cookies”.
Cooper says,
FOR THIS COOK YOU'RE GONNA NEED
BUTTER, SUGAR, BROWN SUGAR,
AN EGG, VANILLA EXTRACT,
SELF-RAISING FLOUR, CHOC CHIPS,
AND CLEAN HANDS.
POP IN YOUR BUTTER AND YOUR
SUGAR.
AND USE A MIXER TO CREAM THEM.
Cooper mixes butter and sugar with a stand mixer.
(Horn honking)
Text reads, “Adult Alert”.
Cooper continues,
ADD YOUR BROWN SUGAR, AND JUST
KEEP MIXING.
YOU KNOW IT'S DONE WHEN IT'S A
NICE PALE SHADE OF YELLOW.
ADD THE EGG AND THE VANILLA.
KEEP BEATING.
NEXT STEP, ADD THE SELF-RAISING
FLOUR AND THE CHOC CHIPS.
A WOODEN SPOON TO COMBINE IT
ALL.
ALRIGHT, LET'S GET STUCK IN.
Cooper mixes the ingredients with his hands.
He says,
MY DOUGH'S LOOKING PERFECT.
NOW IT'S TIME TO PUT IT ON THE
TRAY.
PUT IT INTO BALLS LIKE THAT SIZE.
AND THEN PUT IT ON IT AND THEN
JUST SQUASH IT WITH A SPOON OR
WITH YOUR FINGERS.
Cooper flattens a ball of cookie dough on a baking sheet. He makes five more.
Cooper says,
SO ABOUT THAT SIZE.
OKAY.
(Horn honking)
Text reads, “Adult Alert”.
Cooper adds,
NOW THEY'RE READY, WE CAN POP
THEM IN THE OVEN FOR ABOUT
EIGHT MINUTES.
BUT WE DON'T WANT TO FULLY COOK
THEM, 'CAUSE THIS IS WHERE IT'S
ABOUT TO GET TRICKY.
AFTER THE EIGHT MINUTES PLACE A
FEW CHOC CHIPS ON TOP.
BUT CAREFUL, THEY'RE HOT.
AND MAKE SURE YOU POINT THEM
FACE DOWN, IT'S GONNA BE VERY
HELPFUL LATER.
THESE CHOC CHIPS THEY'RE GONNA
BE OUR SPIDERS.
NOW THAT THAT'S DONE, BACK IN
THE OVEN FOR TWO MINUTES.
THANKS, ADULT.
Cooper hands the baking tray to an adult.
Later, the cookies rest on a plate.
Cooper says,
NOW THEY'RE FULLY COOKED WE CAN
MAKE THE SPIDER PATTERNS WITH
JUST A TOOTHPICK.
HERE WE GO.
IT'S BASICALLY PAINTING WITH
CHOCOLATE.
WHY AM I PUTTING SPIDERS ON A
COOKIE?
IT'S THE WEIRD AND WONDERFUL
EPISODE, WHY NOT?
Cooper uses a toothpick to draw a spider’s legs with melted chocolate chips.
He says,
BINGO BANGO!
THEY'RE DONE.
SLIGHTLY SCARY CHOCOLATE CHIP
COOKIES TO THE DEN.
SEE YA!
Text reads, “How to do Stuff Good”.
Marianne and Jenna sit at the round purple table in the den.
Jenna says, LET'S GO COOPER.
Marianne adds,
COME ON COOPER.
WE'RE HUNGRY!
Cooper carries his cookies downstairs to the den. He lays the plate on the table.
Cooper says,
MY NEW CREATION COMING IN HOT.
Marianne replies, LOOKS SO COOL.
Jenna says, OOH, PLUS, SURPRISE.
(Knocking)
Jenna knocks on the table. Marianne’s worms and cookie crumbs appear.
Marianne says, WHOA, WE GOT WORMS.
Jenna leans forward.
She says,
I'M LEGIT SO EXCITED TO EAT
SPIDERS, WORMS AND DIRT.
LET'S DIG IN.
Cooper replies, OKAY.
Jenna eats a cookie while Cooper and Marianne eat worms.
Cooper says,
MMM.
DRUM ROLL PLEASE.
Cooper, Marianne, and Jenna pound on the table with their hands. They pick up green paddles that read “Yay”.
Cooper, Marianne, and Jenna shout,
YAY!
Marianne says,
THOSE WERE SO GOOD.
I THOUGHT IT WAS GONNA BE BAD
BECAUSE IT LOOKS DISGUSTING BUT
THEY WERE REALLY GOOD.
Cooper adds,
I KNOW, AND THE DIRT WAS
GREAT AS WELL.
Marianne replies, YEAH!
Jenna says,
THE COOKIES THEY WERE
SUPER CRUNCHY, GOOD JOB.
ALRIGHT, HOPE YOU GOT YOUR
WEIRD AND WONDERFUL FIX TODAY.
WE'LL SEE YOU NEXT TIME.
Cooper, Marianne, and Jenna wave.
Cooper says, SEE YA!
Marianne and Jenna add, BYE!
