A singer sings, JOJO AND GRAN GRAN.

[Uplifting music plays]

In an animated world, a door opens, revealing a woman with tightly braided black hair and a man with short black hair, a neatly trimmed beard, and glasses. The man and woman smile.

The singer sings, TAKE MY HAND AND COME WITH ME.

Jojo runs outside and takes Gran Gran’s hand.

The singer sings, ON A JOURNEY THROUGH OUR STREETS.

Jojo and Gran Gran walk down a city sidewalk. They wave to a bearded man, Ned, walking his small dog, Monty.

The singer sings, WE'LL SAY HELLO TO EVERYBODY THAT WE MEET.

Ned waves before Monty pulls him away. On a rainy day, Jojo and Gran Gran wear raincoats and carry umbrellas.

The singer sings, THROUGH THE YEAR,
AS SEASONS CHANGE,
EXPLORING EVERY DAY,
WE TAKE OUR TIME
TO STOP AND PLAY.

Jojo and Gran Gran jump in puddles. On a sunny day, they walk into a park. A red double-decker bus drives past the park.
The singer sings, AND WHEN THE SPRINGTIME
BLOSSOM
TURNS TO SUMMER SUN,
JOJO LIKES TO GET OUTSIDE,
GRAN GRAN ALWAYS
MAKES IT FUN!

Jojo and Gran Gran roll down a grassy hill. In the fall, Jojo throws leaves in the air.

The singer sings, WHEN THE AUTUMN RAINFALL
TURNS TO WINTER SNOW,
I KNOW A SPECIAL PLACE,
A PLACE WHERE WE CAN GO.

In the winter, Jared, a black-haired man with a neatly trimmed beard, makes a snowman. He waves as Jojo and Gran Gran walk by in their winter coats. In warmer weather, Gran Gran’s neighbour Cynthia, a grey-haired woman, waters her flowers. Jojo and Gran Gran wave on their way to Gran Gran’s house.

The singer sings, TAKE MY HAND,
WE'RE HEADING HOME
WITH JOJO AND GRAN GRAN.

JoJo and Gran Gran walk up to Gran Gran’s front door. Title: Jojo & Gran Gran.

Episode Title: It’s Time for some Science. Written by Gemma Weekes.

Jojo says, IT'S TIME FOR SOME SCIENCE!

[Gentle, cheerful music plays]

[Rain spattering]

The sky is overcast, and it is raining.

Gran Gran narrates, IT WAS A RAINY SPRING MORNING.
THE BLOSSOM WAS ON THE TREES,
THE SKY WAS GREY
AND JOJO AND GRAN GRAN -
THAT'S ME! -
WERE WAITING FOR ISAIAH
TO COME ROUND TO PLAY.

In the living room at Gran Gran’s house, Jojo and Gran Gran look out the window. Outside, Isaiah and his dads walk down the sidewalk under an umbrella. Inside, Jojo steps away from the window.

Jojo asks, CAN WE GO OUTSIDE AND SPLASH IN THE PUDDLES, GRAN GRAN?

Jojo jumps from one foot to the other.

She says, SPLISH, SPLASH, SPLOSH!

[Gran Gran chuckling]

Jojo says, SPLISH, SPLASH, SPLOSH!

Gran Gran says, WE CAN ASK ISAIAH IF HE WANTS TO GO OUTSIDE, TOO.

Jojo says, SPLISH, SPLASH, SPLOSH!

She hops across the living room rug.

[Doorbell ringing]

[Jojo gasping]

Jojo says, THEY'RE HERE!

[Cheerful music plays]

Gran Gran answers the door.

She says, GOOD MORNING, ANTON!

Isaiah, Anton and Joshua step inside. Anton carries a small backpack and a large vacuum flask.

Anton says, HI.

Gran Gran says, JOSHUA.

Joshua says, HI, GRAN GRAN!

Jojo says, ISAIAH!

Isaiah says, JOJO!

Isaiah runs and hugs Jojo.

Joshua says, THANK YOU FOR HAVING
ISAIAH ROUND TO PLAY.
HE'S BEEN LOOKING
FORWARD TO IT ALL WEEK.

Anton says, I'VE PACKED HIS BOOKS
AND BROUGHT SOME
OIL DOWN STEW FROM THE CAFE.

He gives Gran Gran the backpack and vacuum flask.

Gran Gran says, OH, THANK YOU, ANTON!

Isaiah says to Jojo, IT'S YUMMY.

Joshua says, OKAY, HAVE FUN.
WE'LL PICK YOU UP
THIS AFTERNOON.

Isaiah runs and hugs his parents.

Isaiah says, BYE, DADS!

Jojo says, LET'S PLAY!

[Bright music plays]

In live-action, a girl with long, curly, brown hair wearing a pink cardigan over a shirt with a fruit pattern sits beside a girl with long, black hair in two braids wearing a white and pink long-sleeved shirt.

The girl wearing a pink cardigan says, MY FRIEND COMES TO MY HOUSE
AND WE PLAY WITH DOLLS
AND WE PLAY HIDE-AND-SEEK.

In a living room, a girl with long, black hair in tight braids wearing a blue, long-sleeved sweater sits beside a girl with long, curly, black hair wearing a green and beige, long-sleeved shirt.

The girl wearing a blue shirt says, WHEN I PLAY WITH MY FRIENDS,
WHEN I GO TO THEIR HOUSE,
SOMETIMES WE PLAY TEACHERS
OR WE PLAY THE FISH GAME.

The girl wearing a pink cardigan says, IN HIDE-AND-SEEK, SOMEONE
CATCHES AND SOMEONE HIDES.

In a playroom, a boy with short, brown hair wears a green zipper hoodie.

The boy in a green hoodie says, FREEZE TAG.
FREEZE TAG IS WHEN
THE PERSON WHO IS IT TAGS YOU,
AND THEN WHOEVER GETS TAGGED
THEY'RE FROZEN FOR TEN SECONDS,
AND IF THEY'RE FROZEN FOR TEN
SECONDS, THEN THEY'RE IT.

The girl wearing a blue shirt says, I'LL BE THE TEACHER.

The girl wearing a green and beige shirt says, AND I'LL BE THE STUDENT.

The girl wearing a blue shirt says, OLIVIA, GET YOUR BOOKS OUT!

The girl wearing a green and beige shirt, Olivia, pretends to write in a book.

The girl wearing a blue shirt says, WELL DONE.

The girl wearing a striped shirt asks, DO YOU PLAY CHESS?

The girl wearing a pink cardigan says, NO.

The girl wearing a striped shirt says, OH.

The girl wearing a pink cardigan says, THAT'S WHAT MY MUM DOES!

[Cheerful music plays]

In Jojo’s world, the sun shines brightly, and the dark clouds disappear.

[Birds chirping]

At Gran Gran’s, Jojo and Isaiah look out the kitchen window into the backyard.

Jojo says, OH, IT'S STOPPED RAINING!
ISAIAH, DO YOU WANT
TO PLAY OUTSIDE?
WE CAN SPLASH IN THE PUDDLES.

Isaiah says, HMM...

He turns away from the window and steps down from a stool in front of the sink.

Isaiah asks, CAN WE PLAY INSIDE?

He climbs onto a chair at the kitchen table and grabs a pink book.

Isaiah says, MY SCIENCE BOOK HAS LOTS OF FUN THINGS TO DO.

Jojo steps off the stool.

She says, BUT I WANT TO GO OUTSIDE AND SPLASH IN PUDDLES!

Isaiah frowns.

Jojo adds, IT'S REALLY FUN.

Isaiah says, BUT I WANT TO STAY INSIDE AND DO SOME SCIENCE.

Gran Gran says, IT SOUNDS LIKE WE NEED TO FIND A COMPROMISE.

Jojo and Isaiah share a look.

They say, HUH?

Jojo asks, WHAT'S A COMPROMISE?

Gran Gran explains, A COMPROMISE IS WHEN TWO PEOPLE
WHO WANT TO DO DIFFERENT THINGS
FIND A WAY TO GET
A BIT OF WHAT THEY BOTH WANT.

Gran Gran looks thoughtful.

She says, HMM... I THINK IT'S TIME FOR A GRAN GRAN PLAN!

[Celebratory music plays]

Gran Gran says, WE CAN DO SOME SCIENCE...

Isaiah cheers, YAY!

Gran Gran says, ...ABOUT PUDDLES!

Jojo cheers, WOO-HOO!

[Gran Gran chuckling]

[Jojo giggling]

Isaiah says, I LIKE COMPROMISE.

Jojo says, ME TOO.

[Gentle, cheerful music plays]

Gran Gran follows Jojo and Isaiah to the backyard with Isaiah’s pink science book and a small box of chalk. Jojo holds Panda and stands around a large puddle with Gran Gran and Isaiah.

Jojo says, I THINK THAT'S THE BIGGEST PUDDLE I'VE EVER SEEN.

Isaiah says, IT'S HUGE!

[Gran Gran chuckling]

Gran Gran says, THIS IS A GOOD PUDDLE
FOR SOME OUTDOOR SCIENCE!
NOW, IT'S STOPPED RAINING,
HOW DO YOU THINK THIS
PUDDLE MIGHT CHANGE?

Jojo says, ERM...

She looks at Panda and says, PANDA THINKS IT WILL STAY LIKE THIS FOREVER!

Isaiah says, I DON'T THINK IT'LL GET ANY BIGGER.

Gran Gran says, LET'S FIND OUT!

She puts the science pink book in a nearby potted plant.

Gran Gran says, HERE, GRAB A PIECE OF CHALK.

Jojo and Isaiah each take a red piece of chalk from Gran Gran.

Gran Gran asks, CAN YOU DRAW AROUND THE PUDDLE?

Jojo says, YES!

Isaiah says, OKAY!

Jojo and Isaiah draw around the puddle with their chalk.

[Jojo humming]

[Isaiah giggling]

Gran Gran says, RIGHT. HERE GOES...

She sets an egg-shaped timer that looks like a chicken for 45 minutes.

[Timer ticking]

Gran Gran says, LET'S SEE IF THE PUDDLE CHANGES.

She puts the timer beside the puddle.

[Gentle, bright music plays]

Later in the backyard, Gran Gran hangs socks on a clothesline. Jojo runs around Isaiah with Panda. Isaiah hides in a sheet hanging from the clothesline. Jojo frowns and looks around. Gran Gran smiles. Isaiah steps out from behind the sheet and waves.

Isaiah says, HEY!

[Jojo and Gran Gran giggling]

The puddle shrinks, and an arrow on the chicken timer points from 45 to between 0 and 5.

[Timer ringing]

The arrow on the timer points at 0.

Jojo cheers, YAY!

Jojo runs to the puddle with Isaiah and Gran Gran. Jojo and Isaiah grab their chalk and draw another line around the puddle.

Jojo says, HA! IT'S SMALLER!

Gran Gran resets the timer to 45 minutes and puts it beside the puddle.

[Timer ticking]

Inside, Jojo and Isaiah sit at the table with a green science book, and Gran Gran washes dishes in the sink. Jojo and Isaiah look at pictures showing different types of weather, including a picture of the sun, a rainbow, storm clouds and a snowman. Outside, the puddle shrinks, and the arrow on the timer points at 0.

[Timer ringing]

Jojo and Isaiah put down the green science book and run outside with Gran Gran. They draw a third line around the puddle with their chalk, and Gran Gran resets the timer.

[Timer ticking]

At the kitchen table, Gran Gran serves Jojo and Isaiah bowls of stew. Jojo and Isaiah each eat a spoonful of their stew and smile. Jojo pushes a spoonful of stew against Panda, and Panda tips forward. Outside, the puddle shrinks.

[Timer ringing]

Jojo and Isaiah put their spoons in their now-empty bowls and run outside with Gran Gran. Jojo and Isaiah draw a fourth line around the puddle with their chalk, and Gran Gran resets the timer.

[Timer ticking]

The puddle continues to shrink, and three more lines appear around it.

[Cheerful music plays]

At the clothesline, Gran Gran places the now-folded sheet into a basket.

Gran Gran says, OH, ALL DRY.

Isaiah lays a pair of pink socks on top of the folded sheet.

[Timer ringing]

[Jojo and Isaiah giggling]

Jojo and Isaiah cheer, YAY!

They run over to the puddle chalk lines with Gran Gran.

Isaiah says, WOW!

Jojo says, THE PUDDLE'S GOT
SMALLER AND SMALLER!

Isaiah says, IT'S DISAPPEARED!

Jojo asks, IS IT MAGIC?

Gran Gran says, IT'S NOT MAGIC; IT'S SCIENCE.

She grabs Isaiah’s pink science book and opens a page with a puddle experiment.

Gran Gran explains, THE SUN MADE THE PUDDLE DRY UP.
ON A HOTTER DAY, THE PUDDLE
WOULD DRY UP EVEN MORE QUICKLY.

Isaiah says, THAT'S AMAZING.

Jojo says, I LIKE SCIENCE,
AND SO DOES PANDA.

[Gentle, cheerful music plays]

At the front door, Anton and Joshua stand in the doorway. Gran Gran holds Isaiah’s backpack and the vacuum flask.

Gran Gran says, ISAIAH, YOUR DADS ARE HERE!

Isaiah and Jojo run to the entryway.

Anton says, HIYA!

Joshua says, HI, EVERYONE!

Gran Gran gives Anton the backpack and vacuum flask.

Joshua says, IT LOOKS LIKE YOU'VE
ALL HAD AN EXCITING DAY.

Isaiah hugs his dads’ legs.

Jojo says, GRAN GRAN HELPED US
DO SOME SCIENCE.

Isaiah asks, DID YOU KNOW THAT
WHEN THE SUN SHINES,
PUDDLES GET SMALLER AND SMALLER?

Jojo says, UNTIL THEY DISAPPEAR.

Joshua says, THAT SOUNDS LIKE MAGIC!

Isaiah says, IT'S NOT MAGIC, DAD;
IT'S SCIENCE.

[Jazz music plays]

In live-action, a brown-haired girl with bangs wears their hair in pigtails. She wears a blue zipper hoodie with colourful polka dots. At a table, the brown-haired girl puts a teddy bear wearing a yellow rain jacket and red rain boots in a small bin. Behind her, a woman with short, brown hair and glasses on her head wearing a dark blue T-shirt urges a boy with short, brown hair wearing a zipper hoodie with dinosaurs on it toward the table.

A child narrates, ME AND MY FRIEND ISABELLE
ARE GOING TO
DO SOME SCIENCE WITH MY NANA
TO FIND OUT WHICH MATERIAL
IS BEST FOR KEEPING TEDDY DRY.

Nana, the brown-haired woman, asks, CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT MATERIAL THIS IS?

Tthe brown-haired girl, Isabelle, and the brown-haired boy look at pieces of disposable towels.

They both say, PAPER TOWEL.

Nana says, A PAPER TOWEL.

The brown-haired boy says, AND IT FEELS... CRUNCHY.

Nana asks, AND WHAT ABOUT THIS MATERIAL?

She picks up a blue cloth.

Nana asks, HOW DOES THIS FEEL?

Isabelle and the brown-haired boy feel the cloth.

They say, SOFT.

The brown-haired boy says, IT'S FABRIC.

Nana grabs a piece of purple plastic sheeting.

She asks, AND WHAT MATERIAL IS THIS?

Isabelle and the brown-haired boy feel the sheeting.

They say, PLASTIC.

Nana says, YEAH. AND HOW DOES THIS FEEL?

Isabelle says, SCRUNCHY.

The brown-haired boy says, SMOOTH.

Isabelle says, AND SMOOTH.

Nana says, AND SMOOTH.

The brown-haired boy, the narrator, says, LET'S START WITH A PAPER TOWEL.

Nana and the brown-haired boy hold the paper towel over the teddy bear.

Isabelle says, I THINK THE WATER'S GOING TO GO THROUGH AND LAND ON TEDDY.

With a toy watering can, Isabelle pours water onto the paper towel, and it drops onto the teddy.

Nana asks, CAN YOU SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING?

Isabelle looks under the paper towel at the water dripping through.

She says, TEDDY'S GETTING WET.

The brown-haired boy narrates, THE PAPER TOWEL ISN'T WATERPROOF.

Nana says, HERE WE GO. ARE YOU READY?

Nana and Isabelle hold the blue cloth over the teddy.

The brown-haired boy narrates, NOW, WE'RE GOING TO SEE IF THE FABRIC IS WATERPROOF.

Nana asks, WHAT DO WE THINK'S GOING TO HAPPEN THIS TIME?

Isabelle says, I THINK IT'S GOING TO GO THROUGH A BIT.

The brown-haired boy pours water from the watering can onto the blue cloth. The water drips through onto the teddy.

Isabelle says, TEDDY'S GETTING WET.

The brown-haired boy narrates, THE FABRIC ISN'T WATERPROOF EITHER.

Nana says, RIGHT, NOW, SHALL WE TRY THE PLASTIC?

She and Isabelle hold the purple plastic sheeting over the teddy.

The brown-haired boy narrates, LET'S SEE IF THE PLASTIC IS WATERPROOF.

He pours water from the watering can onto the purple sheeting. No water drips through.

Nana asks, WHAT'S HAPPENING, HUGO?

Hugo, the brown-haired boy, narrates, THE WATER ISN'T GOING THROUGH!

The water pools in the plastic.

Hugo narrates, PLASTIC IS VERY GOOD
AT KEEPING TEDDY DRY
BECAUSE IT IS WATERPROOF.

Nana asks, AND WHAT ELSE CAN. WE SEE THAT'S WATERPROOF?

Isabelle says, WELLIES! TEDDY HAS WELLIES.

Nana says, HE DOES!

Isabelle picks up the teddy, revealing the red rainboots, also known as wellies, on the teddy’s feet.

Nana says, WE'VE GOT WELLIES. SHALL WE GO AND PLAY IN OUR WELLIES?

Isabelle and Hugo cheer, YEAH!

Nana says, COME ON, THEN.

Isabelle puts the teddy down and follows Hugo toward the door. Outside, Isabelle, Hugo and Nana jump in puddles wearing rain boots.

Hugo narrates, WE LOVE SCIENCE!

[Cheerful music plays]

In Jojo’s world, Jojo and Gran Gran sit on the living room couch.

Jojo asks, CAN WE DO MORE SCIENCE TOMORROW?

Gran Gran says, OF COURSE.
SCIENCE IS
ALL ABOUT ASKING QUESTIONS,
LIKE WHY IS THE SKY BLUE?
AND WHAT MAKES COCOA TEA SWEET?

Jojo says, AND WHO GIVES THE BEST HUGS!

Gran Gran says, OH!
WE DON'T NEED SCIENCE
TO FIND THAT OUT!
YOU DO.

Jojo says, I LOVE YOU, GRAN GRAN.

She hugs Gran Gran.

Gran Gran says, OH, AND I LOVE YOU TOO, JOJO.

She hugs Jojo close.
