Transcript: Maps & Measurement
(soft music plays)
An animated title against a sunny sky reads "TVOKids Power Hour of Learning."
In off, Laura says WELCOME TO
TVOKIDS
POWER HOUR OF LEARNING.
TODAY'S JUNIOR LESSON:
MAPS AND MEASUREMENT.
Joel is in his mid-twenties, with a short beard and black hair. He wears a gray shirt and earphones.
Joel says HI, STUDENTS, AND WELCOME
BACK TO ANOTHER EPISODE OF
TVOKIDS POWER HOUR OF LEARNING.
MY NAME IS TEACHER JOEL
AND I AM SO EXCITED
TO BE SPENDING TODAY WITH YOU,
DOING SOME LEARNING AT HOME.
FOR THE NEXT HOUR, WE'RE GOING
TO BE CHECKING OUT SOME AMAZING
SHOWS HERE ON TVO,
AND I'LL BE POPPING UP IN
BETWEEN TO TEACH
SOME LESSONS TO YOU
THAT WILL SHOW YOU HOW YOU CAN
CONTINUE THE LEARNING YOU SAW
IN THOSE EPISODES AT HOME
USING THINGS AROUND YOUR HOUSE.
NOW, BEFORE WE GET STARTED,
I'M GOING TO REMIND YOU.
MAKE SURE YOU'RE SITTING
IN A PLACE WHERE YOU'RE
COMFORTABLE AND FOCUSED.
TRY NOT TO GET TOO DISTRACTED,
MAKE SURE YOU'RE
LOOKING AND LISTENING,
'CAUSE THAT'S GOING TO MAKE
THE LEARNING THAT MUCH EASIER.
ALSO, FOR TODAY'S EPISODE
YOU'RE GOING TO NEED
A PENCIL OR A PEN,
SOMETHING YOU CAN WRITE WITH,
AND SOME PAPER YOU
CAN USE TO WRITE ON.
THAT'S GOING TO COME IN HANDY
WHEN THE LEARNING STARTS,
SO IF YOU DON'T HAVE THAT YET,
NOW WOULD BE THE PERFECT
CHANCE TO GO GRAB IT.
ALRIGHT, STUDENTS.
WE ARE READY TO GET STARTED WITH
THE LEARNING AND THE FUN
ON TODAY'S EPISODE.
He thumbs up.
He continues NOW, I HAVE TO TELL YOU THAT
ONE OF THE MOST EXCITING THINGS
ABOUT BEING A TEACHER HERE
ON
POWER HOUR OF LEARNING
IS THAT THIS SHOW IS ON TVO,
WHICH GOES TO STUDENTS
ALL ACROSS ONTARIO.
ONTARIO, AS YOU LIKELY KNOW,
IS THE PROVINCE THAT WE LIVE IN.
HERE'S A MAP OF ONTARIO
FOR YOU TO LOOK AT.
NOW, TAKE A LOOK AT THIS MAP,
AND THINK ABOUT
A FEW THINGS YOU NOTICE.
HAVE YOU SEEN A MAP BEFORE?
WE CAN USE MAPS TO
HELP US KNOW WHERE TO GO
AND TO UNDERSTAND
WHAT PLACES LOOK LIKE.
A close-up shot shows animals and buildings on the map.
He continues WE CAN SEE MAPS OF COUNTRIES.
HERE WE SEE A MAP OF A PROVINCE.
WE CAN HAVE MAPS OF OUR CITIES.
EVEN MAPS OF SUBWAYS.
YOU CAN EVEN MAKE A MAP
OF THE ROOMS IN YOUR HOUSE.
I'M GIVING YOU A LITTLE BIT OF
A CLUE OF SOME OF THE LEARNING
WE'RE GOING TO BE
DOING TOGETHER TODAY,
BUT BEFORE I GET
STARTED WITH THE LESSON,
LET'S TOGETHER LOOK AT
THIS EPISODE OF
LOOK KOOL
THAT'S GOING TO TELL US
ALL THE THINGS THAT WE NEED
TO KNOW ABOUT MAPS.
NOW, I'M GOING TO CHALLENGE YOU,
DURING THIS EPISODE,
USING THAT PAPER AND PENCIL
I ASKED YOU TO GET EARLIER,
I'M GOING TO ASK YOU TO
MAKE A LIST OF ALL THE THINGS
A MAP NEEDS, OKAY?
A MAP GIVES US
TONS OF INFORMATION
AS YOU ARE GOING TO
SEE IN THIS EPISODE,
BUT FOR A MAP
TO WORK REALLY WELL,
THERE'S CERTAIN
THINGS A MAP NEEDS.
DURING THIS EPISODE,
SEE IF YOU CAN MAKE A LIST
OF ALL THE THINGS YOU SEE
AND HEAR THAT A MAP NEEDS
AND I WILL SEE YOU AFTERWARDS.
A clip plays.
Hamza says EVER GET LOST?
WHICH WAY DO I GO?
IF YOU WERE A BIRD YOU
COULD SEE EXACTLY WHERE TO GO,
BUT THERE'S ANOTHER WAY
TO GET A BIRD'S EYE VIEW.
WITH A MAP! TO FIND OUT
HOW WE'LL SCARE A GARGOYLE.
(gasping)
MEET INVENTORS WHO MADE
AN APP TO FIND BATHROOMS.
Stefano cheers and says THAT APP WOULD HAVE HELPED ME.
Kids play kazoo.
Hamza says FORM A MARCHING BAND.
Stefano sings THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT
Hamza says AND GET ON KOOLKATT'S NERVES.
During a game, Hamza says HA! I WIN.
Cool Cat growls and Hamza laughs.
The theme music plays.
Hamza spins and puts on a pair of glasses. Through his glasses, we can see colourful 3D objects falling to an open field.
Cool Cat says MEOW!
A multicolored city builds up. The title of the show unfolds next to fireworks in the sky. It reads "Look Kook."
Hamza says LOOK!
Kids say KOOL!
Hamza and Cool Cat play a board game.
Hamza says THAT WAS A GOOD MOVE,
KOOLKATT!
(purring)
Hamza rolls a dice and says HAH! I WIN!
(growling)
KOOLKATT'S MAD BECAUSE
I WON THREE IN A ROW,
BUT FINDING MY WAY AROUND
THIS BOARD GAME'S EASY.
TO GET AROUND IN REAL LIFE,
I JUST USE MY SMART PHONE.
IT TELLS ME
EVERYTHING I NEED TO DO
INCLUDING
Speaking to the phone, he says GETTING TO
TODAY'S CHALLENGE LOCATION.
Breaking down, the phone says TO REACH YOUR DESTINATION
GO OUTSIDE, TURN LEFT,
WALK THREE KILOMETRES...
The phone does not work.
Hamza says UH-OH. UH-OH.
SO, TO FIND MY WAY I GUESS
I'LL BE USING A MAP INSTEAD.
An animation shows a pirate in an island looking at a map at night.
He finds a treasure and says AH!
A gust of wind blows him away.
(shouting)
Now, Hamza stands behind a table.
He taps on a animated map and says I'M HERE AND I WANT TO
VISIT MY FRIEND THIS WEEKEND
WHO LIVES HERE.
SEEMS LIKE IT'S PRETTY CLOSE.
LOOKS LIKE I COULD
EVEN WALK THERE.
HOW FAR IS THAT?
A Computer says 734 KILOMETRES.
Hamza says WHAT? BUT IT LOOKS SO CLOSE.
OH WELL.
WHAT ABOUT TODAY'S
CHALLENGE LOCATION?
A big animated map pops up in front of him.
Hamza says I'M HERE,
AND THE CHALLENGE LOCATION
IS ALL THE WAY OVER HERE.
THAT'S GONNA TAKE
FOREVER TO GET TO.
HOW FAR IS THAT?
The Computer says 8 BLOCKS.
Hamza says SAY WHAT?
HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT
A DISTANCE THIS LONG
IS CLOSER THAN
A DISTANCE THIS SMALL?
A caption reads "734 kilometers."
Hamza says OH, I KNOW WHAT I DID WRONG.
I FORGOT TO CHECK THE SCALE!
(music plays)
Hamza says SCALE IS A MEASUREMENT THAT
TELLS US HOW BIG OR SMALL THINGS
ON A MAP ARE IN REAL LIFE.
SO, FOR INSTANCE,
ON THIS MAP OF OUR SOLAR SYSTEM,
THE PLANET JUPITER IS
ABOUT THE SAME SIZE AS A PARK
ON THIS MAP OF A NEIGHBOURHOOD.
SO, MAPMAKERS DRAW A LITTLE
MEASUREMENT LINE CALLED SCALE
TO SHOW US HOW BIG OR SMALL
THINGS ARE IN REAL LIFE.
A LINE THIS BIG ON THIS
MAP EQUALS ONE KILOMETRE.
MOVE THE SAME LINE
OVER TO THIS MAP,
IT EQUALS MILLIONS
OF KILOMETRES.
The solar system appears. The caption changes to "245,340,720 kilometers."
Hamza says THERE'S OBVIOUSLY A LOT
MORE TO MAPS THAN I THOUGHT.
WE'D BETTER GET
THE INVESTIGATORS ON THE CASE.
(music plays)
A slate shows a magnifying glass coming out of Cool Cat. The slate reads "Investigation."
Hamza says HELLO, INTREPID INVESTIGATORS.
Han Ru and Stefano appear on a large screen in front of Hamza.
Han Ru says HEY!
Stefano says HEY, HAMZA!
Hamza says HERE'S A JOB THAT WILL
REALLY PUT YOU ON THE MAP.
FIND WHATEVER YOU CAN ABOUT HOW
PEOPLE USE MAPS TO GET AROUND.
The kids say OKAY.
Hamza says OUR INVESTIGATORS ARE IN
A PART OF TOWN WHERE LOTS OF
TOURISTS LIKE TO VISIT.
THEY OFTEN USE MAPS
TO FIND THEIR WAY AROUND.
Stefano says OKAY, SO.
HEY LOOK,
THAT LADY HAS A MAP.
Han Ru says CAN WE PLEASE TAKE
A PICTURE OF THAT MAP?
The Computer says MAP IDENTIFIED.
TOURIST WILL USE MAP TO
FIND HER DESTINATION.
The kids find an information board.
Han Ru says OKAY.
THERE IS A BIG
MAP OVER HERE.
Stefano says HEY, WHY WOULD
YOU LOOK AT THAT.
THE QUESTION MARK
REPRESENTS LOST, FOR EXAMPLE.
OR, WHERE ARE YOU.
LOST, QUESTION MARK.
OR-- OR DO YOU NOT
KNOW WHERE YOU ARE?
THE ANSWER IS...
A DETAILED
Han Ru says MAP.
Stefano says MAP.
Han Ru says SEE THESE BOATS? SEE?
THERE'S A LOT OF
BOATS RIGHT THERE.
Stefano says OH, HEY, IT'S TRUE!
THAT IS THE YACHT CLUB.
Han Ru says EXACTLY!
AND THAT'S THE PLAYGROUND
AND THIS IS THE PLAYGROUND.
SO, LIKE, WE'RE RIGHT HERE.
The Computer says IF YOU LOOK CAREFULLY AT A MAP,
YOU'LL SEE ALL KINDS OF ICONS
THAT REPRESENT REAL PLACES
LIKE PARKS, RESTAURANTS,
GROCERY STORES, MUSEUMS,
HOSPITALS OR, EVEN BETTER,
A BEACH OR A SWIMMING POOL
AND THERE ARE OTHER ICONS THAT
HELP US FIND OUR WAY AROUND.
Fast clips show traffic signs.
Han Ru says SO, YOU MEAN
STREET SIGNS, RIGHT?
Stefano says YEAH, PRETTY MUCH.
Han Ru says OKAY.
HEY, WHAT'S THAT FOR?
Stefano says WELL, A ROAD CROSSING
AND THERE'S A RAIL OR SOMETHING.
TRAIN CROSSING?
Stefano says OH, YEAH!
(horn honking)
Han Ru takes a picture.
The Computer says SIGN IDENTIFIED.
STOP SIGNS HAVE A SPECIAL SHAPE
AND THAT'S NOT AN ACCIDENT.
ACTUALLY,
IT'S TO PREVENT ACCIDENTS.
IN ANY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD,
EVEN IF YOU DON'T SPEAK
THE LANGUAGE, YOU'LL RECOGNIZE
THE SHAPE OF THIS EIGHT-SIDED
SIGN THAT ALWAYS MEANS STOP.
CAN YOU TELL
WHAT THESE ARE FOR?
NOT ALLOWED TO
STOP YOUR CAR HERE.
TRAIN CROSSING.
ON THIS STREET
DRIVE ONLY THIS WAY.
IN THIS LANE GO THIS WAY.
YOU CAN CROSS THE STREET HERE.
An animated street sign says OKAY.
Back in the studio, Hamza dance in circles.
Then, he says DO YOU KNOW WHO
USES LOTS OF MAPS?
DANCERS.
THEY USE A SPECIAL MAP KIND OF
MAP CALLED DANCE NOTATION TO
FIGURE OUT WHERE TO GO.
DANCERS USE A LOT OF MATH
BECAUSE WHEN YOU'RE DANCING
YOU'RE TURNING YOUR
BODY INTO A SHAPE.
YOU'RE MOVING THROUGH
SPACE ALL WHILE COUNTING
THE BEATS OF THE MUSIC.
FOR EXAMPLE,
ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR,
FIVE, SIX, SEVEN, AND EIGHT.
NO MATTER WHAT KIND OF MAP YOU
USE THEY'RE GOOD FOR TELLING YOU
WHERE YOU ARE
AND WHERE YOU'RE GOING.
In a clip, Hamza appears as a cowboy.
Hamza says ARE YOU READY BOOTS?
GET WALKING.
Breaking down, the Computer says YOUR DESTINATION'S...
Hamza says UH-OH, WHERE DO I GO?
He sings THESE BOOTS CAN'T
JUST START WALKING
THEY DON'T KNOW WHERE TO GO
WITHOUT A MAP
The Computer says TURN LEFT ONTO...
He sings I MIGHT END UP IN TOKYO
THESE BOOTS CAN'T
JUST START WALKING
I DON'T KNOW WHERE I AM
WITHOUT A MAP
The Computer says CONTINUE ONTO.
He sings I MIGHT FIND
I'M WALKING TO SIAM
(gong crashing)
THESE BOOTS CAN'T
JUST START WALKING
THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO
WITHOUT A MAP
He looks at his cell phone as he walks.
The Computer says TURN AROUND
AND GO AROUND IN CIRCLES.
He sings I'D END UP WITH
MONKEYS AT THE ZOO
(making monkey sounds)
A monkey eats a banana.
He says HEY, I MEAN IF YOU CAN'T
BEAT 'EM, JOIN 'EM, RIGHT?
The clip ends.
Hamza eats a banana and says MM.
IF YOU WANT TO
GO ACROSS THE WORLD,
YOU MIGHT WANT A 3D MAP,
LIKE A GLOBE.
I HAPPEN TO HAVE ONE OF
HISTORY'S GREATEST EXPERTS
ON THE GLOBE. PLEASE WELCOME
GARGOL THE GARGOYLE!
(clapping)
Gargol walks in. He wears a silver suit, wings and horns. He holds a bag.
Gargol says I DIDN'T DO IT! I DIDN'T DO IT!
Hamza says DO WHAT?
Gargol says WHATEVER YOU'RE ACCUSING ME OF.
Hamza says I JUST ASKED YOU HERE
TO TALK ABOUT MAPS.
Gargol says MAPS? NO, NO, NO. UH-UH. UH-UH.
THE LAST TIME I TALKED ABOUT
MAPS THE KING TURNED ME INTO
A GARGOYLE, WHICH IS
THIS KIND OF STONE STATUE.
Hamza says YEAH, I WAS GONNA ASK
ABOUT THE GARGOYLE THING.
WHAT DOES THAT
HAVE TO DO WITH MAPS?
Gargol says OH. WELL, ABOUT 600 YEARS AGO,
I TOLD BAD KING WENCESLAS THAT...
(muttering)
Hamza says HUH? WHAT DID YOU
SAY TO HIM? SORRY?
Gargol whispers THE WORLD IS ROUND.
(GASPING)
Hamza says OF COURSE THE WORLD IS ROUND.
Gargol says YOU KNOW THAT TOO?
HOW COME NO ONE TURNED
YOU INTO A GARGOYLE?
Hamza says TODAY EVERYONE KNOWS
THAT THE EARTH IS ROUND,
BUT I DID READ THAT PEOPLE
USED TO THINK IT WAS FLAT,
AND THEY EVEN MADE
FLAT EARTH MAPS.
Gargol says YEAH. LIKE BAD KING WENCESLAS,
HE SAID, "WELL, A MAP IS FLAT
SO THE EARTH MUST BE FLAT.
IF YOU SAIL OFF THE EDGE,
YOU'LL FALL RIGHT OFF."
Hamza says BUT YOU KNEW
BETTER THAN THE KING.
Scared, Gargol says ARE YOU TRYING TO
SET ME UP HERE?
HE SAID IF HE CAUGHT ME
TALKING ABOUT MAPS AGAIN
HE'D TURN ME INTO A CABBAGE!
Hamza says NO, NO, YOU'RE PERFECTLY
SAFE THESE DAYS.
IN FACT, ASTRONAUTS HAVE GONE
AROUND THE EARTH IN SPACESHIPS
AND TAKEN PICTURES
THAT SHOW IT'S ROUND.
(shutter clicking)
Gargol says ALL I HAD TO SHOW
BAD KING WENCESLAS
WAS THIS GLOBE THAT I MADE.
He takes a globe out of his bag and continues HE TOOK ONE LOOK AT IT AND SAID,
"WELL, THAT WOULD MEAN
THE PEOPLE AT THE BOTTOM OF
THE EARTH WOULD BE HANGING
UPSIDE DOWN LIKE BATS.
ARE YOU TRYING TO TELL ME
THAT THEY EAT WITH THEIR FEET
INSTEAD OF THEIR MOUTHS?
THAT THEY SWALLOW UP
INSTEAD OF DOWN?"
Hamza says AND THAT'S WHEN HE TURNED
YOU INTO A GARGOYLE?
Gargol says YEAH, PRETTY MUCH.
Hamza says HARSH.
I GUESS YOU HAVEN'T
BEEN KEEPING UP WITH
THE NEW KINDS OF MAPS THEN?
Gargol says ACTUALLY I HAVE.
ARE YOU SURE NO ONE'S WATCHING?
Hamza says WELL, LOTS OF PEOPLE
ARE WATCHING, BUT DON'T WORRY,
NO ONE'S GONNA TURN
YOU INTO A CABBAGE.
Gargol says IF YOU SAY SO.
I COLLECT MAPS.
He chuckles.
Hamza says HOW COME THERE'S SO
MANY DIFFERENT KINDS?
COULDN'T ANY MAP HELP
YOU GET WHERE YOU'RE GOING?
Gargol says MAPS DO A LOT MORE THAN THAT.
He unrolls a map and says THIS ONE SHOWS YOU
WHETHER A PLACE HAS MOUNTAINS
OR WHETHER AN AREA IS FLAT LAND.
Hamza says OH, SO I GUESS
THAT WOULD BE GREAT
IF YOU WERE WALKING SOMEWHERE.
YOU MIGHT WANT TO GO AROUND
THE MOUNTAINS AS OPPOSED
TO CLIMBING OVER THEM.
Gargol says EXACTLY, AND THIS ONE HERE SHOWS
YOU IF A PLACE IS HOT OR COLD.
YOU SEE THE RED IS HOT
AND THE BLUE IS COLD.
(chuckling)
Hamza says OH, SO, IF YOU WERE PLANNING
A TRIP YOU'D WANT TO KNOW
WHETHER TO PACK A PARKA
OR A BATHING SUIT.
Gargol says OH, I DON'T REALLY GET
TO TRAVEL THAT MUCH,
BUT YEAH,
THAT'S THE GENERAL IDEA.
(laughing)
Hamza says HEY, YOU WOULDN'T
HAPPEN TO KNOW HOW TO
FIX MY MAPS SOFTWARE, WOULD YOU?
Hamza hands his cell phone to Gargol.
Gargol says THIS IS A MAP?
Hamza says YEAH, I NEED IT TO GET TO
TODAY'S CHALLENGE LOCATION.
Gargol says I DON'T SEE ANY LINES
OR DRAWINGS ON THIS.
Hamza says NO, NO,
THE MAP SOFTWARE IS INSIDE.
Gargol says THAT'S CRAZY TALK.
Hamza says NO, NO,
THERE'S A MACHINE INSIDE THAT.
Gargol says I'M GONNA GET OUT OF HERE BEFORE
BAD KING WENCESLAS
TURNS US BOTH INTO CABBAGES.
Hamza says TURNS US INTO CABBAGES.
(laughing)
Hamza turns into a cabbage. Then, he appears holding one.
He says JUST KIDDING.
In the animation, the pirate is looking at a map.
He thumbs up and says ARGH!
A tornado takes him away.
The pirate says WHOA! WHOA! WHOA! WHOA!
A slate shows two Cool Cats running a race. The slate reads "Challenge."
Hamza and four kids play kazoos in a park.
Hamza says AND CUT!
YOU GUYS ARE
FEELING MUSICAL TODAY.
They kids say YEAH.
Hamza says CHECK THIS OUT.
He shows a video on a tablet.
A Girl says HEY, IT'S A MARCHING BAND.
Hamza says YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.
DO YOU EVER WONDER HOW
MARCHING BANDS KNOW WHERE TO GO
TO MAKE THEIR FORMATIONS?
WELL, THEY PRACTICE USING
A GRID WHICH IS A KIND OF MAP.
NOW, WOULDN'T IT BE COOL
TO KNOW HOW TO DO THAT?
The kids say YEAH.
Hamza says WELL, THAT'S EXACTLY
WHAT YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO DO.
YOU'RE GONNA COMPETE TO SEE WHO
CAN MAKE THE BEST FORMATIONS
USING JUST A GRID.
A LOT OF MAPS HAVE GRIDS,
WHICH ARE THE SQUARE BOXES.
WE USE GRIDS TO HELP
FIND PLACES ON A MAP.
An animated world map appears with letters on the horizontal axis and numbers on the vertical axis.
He continues ON THIS GRID YOU CAN
FIND ENGLAND WHERE THE C
AND THE FOUR MEET.
I THINK THE MIND'S EYEGLASSES
CAN HELP US GET OUR GRID SET UP.
The girl in the Blue Team says COOL.
Hamza says LET'S GO.
The Computer says ACTIVATION. SHOWING A GRID
FOR A MARCHING BAND.
NUMBERS ON THE BOTTOM,
LETTERS ON THE SIDE.
YOU GO UP OR DOWN TO THE LETTER
AND LEFT OR RIGHT TO THE NUMBER
THAT TELLS YOU WHERE TO MARCH.
FOR EXAMPLE, 1-A IS HERE.
4-C IS HERE.
3-D IS HERE.
Hamza sprays a gird on the grass.
Hamza says OKAY, WE'RE ALL SET HERE.
I'M GONNA GIVE ONE MEMBER FROM
EACH TEAM A SET OF DIRECTIONS
TO SING OUT EVERY
TIME I BLOW MY WHISTLE.
THE OTHER MEMBER OF THE TEAM HAS
TO DO WHAT THE DIRECTIONS SAY.
GOT IT?
The kids say YEAH!
Hamza says ALRIGHT, BOTH TEAMS ARE
GOING TO BE DOING THIS CHALLENGE
AT THE SAME SO TRY TO KEEP UP.
GIVE THE FIRST DIRECTION.
(whistle blowing)
Boy 1 says GO TO D-1.
Girl 1 says GO TO D-4.
They sing PUT YOUR LEFT LEG IN,
THEN YOUR RIGHT LEG OUT
Girl 1 says GO TO C-3.
Boy 1 says GO TO C-2 AND...
They sing YOU PUT YOUR RIGHT LEG IN,
THEN YOU SHAKE IT ALL ABOUT
(whistle blowing)
Boy 1 says GO TO B-1.
Girl 1 says B-4.
They sing AND DO THE HOKEY POKEY
AND YOU TURN YOURSELF AROUND
(whistle blowing)
Hamza says LAST DIRECTION.
Girl 1 says GO TO A-3.
Boy 1 says GO TO A-2 AND TAKE A BOW.
Girl 1 says AND TAKE A BOW.
They sing THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT
(whistle blowing)
Hamza says BRING IT IN, GUYS.
ALRIGHT, GREAT JOB, BUT DO
YOU THINK YOU COULD DO IT NOW
FROM MEMORY ALONE?
The kids say WHAT?
REALLY?
MEMORY ALONE?
THAT'S HARD.
Hamza says WITHOUT YOUR PARTNER
TELLING YOU WHAT TO DO?
CAN OUR CHALLENGERS
NAVIGATE THE MAP FROM MEMORY
OR WILL THEY FALL
FLAT ON THEIR FACES?
WE'LL FIND OUT IN A MINUTE,
BUT BEFORE WE GO ANY FURTHER,
IT'S TIME TO DO A HANDS-ON.
A slate shows a toast popping out of Cool Cat. The toast reads "Hands-on" and has dog footprints on it.
Hamza says HAN RU AND STEFANO, IN TODAY'S
HANDS-ON YOU HAVE TO FIGURE OUT
HOW TO USE A MAP TO
GET AROUND ON THE SUBWAY.
AND YU CHEN HOU AND STEVE KONG
ARE GUYS WHO REALLY KNOW MAPS.
THEY EVEN CREATED A POPULAR
MAP APP THAT HELPS YOU FIND
WATER FOUNTAINS AND BATHROOMS.
Stefano and Han Ru stand next to Yu Chen Hou and Steve Kong behind a table next to a river.
Wearing glasses, Yu says THE NAME OF THE APPLICATION
IS CALLED TAKE A BREAK.
Yu shows them a map on a tablet.
In his twenties, Steve says SO HERE YOU CAN SEE A MAP
AND WE CAN SEE, LIKE,
NEARBY BATHROOMS
AND WATER FOUNTAINS.
SO, YOU CAN SEE
THERE'S ONE HERE.
THERE'S ONE THERE.
SO, IF EVER YOU NEED
TO GO THE BATHROOM,
YOU JUST NEED TO OPEN THE APP
AND IT'LL TELL YOU HOW
TO GET TO THESE PLACES.
Stefano and Han Ru say COOL.
Yu says PRETTY COOL, EH?
Yu says DO YOU GUYS WANNA DO A HANDS-ON?
Han Ru says SURE!
Stefano says OKAY, SURE.
Yu says HERE WE HAVE A MAP OF
THE NEW YORK CITY
SUBWAY STATIONS.
LET'S SAY WE'RE STARTING
OFF AT THE AIRPORT
AND WE WANT TO GET
ALL THE WAY TO THE PARK.
SO, IT LOOKS LIKE YOU GUYS WILL
NEED TO TAKE A FEW TRANSFERS
TO GET WHERE YOU WANT TO GO.
DO YOU KNOW HOW
TRANSFER STATIONS WORK?
Han Ru says YEAH.
Stefano says YOU USE A TRANSFER STATION
WHEN YOU WANT TO CHANGE LINES.
Yu says EXACTLY.
SO, DO YOU GUYS KNOW HOW
YOU WOULD PLAN TO GET FROM
THE AIRPORT ALL
THE WAY TO THE PARK?
Han Ru says MAYBE WE COULD TAKE THE ORANGE.
DOWN HERE.
OKAY LET'S KEEP ON GOING.
UP TO HERE.
THEN WE'RE GONNA
GET TO THE RED LINE.
SO, LET'S GO ON
THE BLUE AND THEN RED.
RIGHT TO THE PARK!
A blue animated line highlights the route on the map.
Yu says ALRIGHT. AWESOME WORK, GUYS.
Yu says SO, IT SEEMS YOU GUYS ARE
TRANSFERRING HERE AND THERE
BUT THESE TWO STATIONS
ARE CLOSED TODAY.
SO WE CAN'T TAKE THEM.
Stefano says OH NO, THAT'S BAD NEWS.
Steve says CAN YOU GUYS FIND A NEW ROUTE?
Han Ru says YEAH.
GO ALL THE WAY ON THE BLUE.
DOWN, ALL THE WAY, RIGHT?
Stefano says UM, YEAH, EXACTLY. SO, NOW
YOU'RE GONNA STILL CONTINUE.
YOU'RE GONNA GO LEFT INSTEAD,
ALL THE WAY.
AND THEN WE CONTINUE.
Han Ru says YEAH.
Steve says OH, COOL. GREAT JOB, GUYS.
YOU FOUND ANOTHER ROUTE.
SO, THIS IS SOMETHING WE
DO A LOT IN MATHEMATICS.
IT'S SOMETHING WE
CALL OPTIMIZATION.
IT'S THAT WE WANT TO
FIND THE EASIEST WAY,
THE FASTEST WAY
TO GET SOMEWHERE.
IT HELPS COMPANIES
AND PEOPLE SAVE ENERGY.
Yu says SAVE GAS. SAVE A LOT OF
MONEY IN THE LONG RUN.
Stefano says HEY, COOL. THAT'S INTERESTING.
Yu says YEAH.
Hamza looks at them on a big screen.
He says HEY, GUYS. TELL ME WHAT YOUR
INVESTIGATION UNCOVERED.
Han Ru says WELL, HE SHOWED US THE APP
THAT WE CAN YOU USE TO FIND
A BATHROOM EVERYWHERE,
SO THAT WOULD BE WAY EASIER TO
FIND A BATHROOM.
Stefano says YEAH, THE THING THAT I FOUND
THE COOLEST ABOUT IT IS THAT
WHEN WE DID OUR LITTLE HANDS-ON
HERE WITH THE METRO STATION
IS THAT WE ACTUALLY USED
MATH TO FIND ANOTHER SOLUTION.
Hamza says AWESOME.
THANKS, EVERYONE.
The kids say BYE.
In the animation, the pirate travels in a subway. He gets out to get the treasure.
He says AH!
(grunting)
Men coming into the subway stop him from getting out. The subway leaves.
He says ARGH!
Hamza says OUR CHALLENGERS FIGURED
OUT HOW TO NAVIGATE A GRID
THE SAME WAY MARCHING BANDS DO,
WITH INSTRUCTIONS
FROM THEIR PARTNERS.
NOW, WHICH TEAM CAN DO
THE MOVES FROM MEMORY ALONE?
AND TO MAKE IT
EVEN MORE MUSICAL,
YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO PLAY
THE HOKEY POKEY ON YOUR KAZOO
WHILE YOU MARCH TOGETHER.
ARE YOU READY FOR THIS?
The teams say YEAH.
Hamza says YOU READY FOR THIS?
The teams say YEAH!
Hamza says WELL, LET'S DO THIS THEN!
(blowing whistle)
The teams play hokey pokey as they move around the grid.
Hamza says NOW, AS WE CAN SEE,
THE DIRECTIONS THAT TEAM YELLOW
WERE GIVEN WERE THE REVERSE
OF WHAT TEAM BLUE WERE GIVEN...
BUT THERE'S A POINT WHERE TEAM
BLUE WAS SUPPOSED TO COME DOWN
TO C-2 BUT ACCIDENTALLY
STEPPED INTO B-2
AND THAT RESULTS IN
TEAM YELLOW BEING THE WINNERS.
Team Yellow says YES!
Hamza says AND TO START YOUR BRIGHT FUTURES
IN THE MARCHING BAND WORLD
YOU ALL GET TO KEEP YOUR KAZOOS.
They yell YEAH!
Hamza says ALRIGHT, LET'S GO.
(playing hokey pokey)
A slate shows a puzzle of Cool Cat. Then, gears appear inside the black shape of a cat head. The slate reads "Brain Bender."
Charles and William sit in a living room.
They say HI!
Hamza says CHARLES AND WILLIAM,
TODAY YOUR BRAIN BENDER IS
AN EXTRA TRICKY
MAP CALLED A MAZE.
YOUR CHALLENGE IS TO
DRAW A PATH THAT
TOUCHES EVERY DOT ONLY
ONCE.
(buzzing)
AND YOU MUST END UP
BACK WHERE YOU STARTED.
GO!
Charles draws a line in a maze map.
William says OKAY.
START HERE.
GO HERE.
AND GO IN HERE.
William says NO. WE STILL HAVE TO GET.
Charles says NO, NO, NO, NO.
TRUST ME. IN HERE.
William says BUT THEN WE STILL HAVE TO...
Charles says NO, NO. GO AT THAT AFTER.
GO IN HERE. YES.
William says BUT LOOK, WE SHOULD
JUST GO LIKE THAT.
Charles says BUT THEN HOW DO YOU GET BACK?
William says YOU CUT IN.
BACK AROUND.
Charles says OKAY.
NOW, HOW DO YOU GET
BACK TO WHERE YOU STARTED?
William says OH, YOU HAVE TO GET
BACK TO WHERE YOU STARTED.
Hamza says THAT'S RIGHT. IT'S TOO
EASY IF YOU DON'T HAVE TO.
Charles says COULD I DO IT THIS TIME?
William says SURE, YEAH.
Hamza says HM, WILLIAM SEEMS TO
KNOW WHAT PATH TO TAKE.
(pinging)
A green tick appears.
Hamza says THAT'S IT. GREAT JOB!
NOW, CHARLES YOU GET
ANOTHER CRACK AT IT,
BUT YOU'VE GOT TO FIND
A DIFFERENT WAY TO DO IT.
William says I GUESS I'LL START HERE.
NO.
Another green tick appears.
Hamza says YOU GOT IT.
William says YAY!
Now, holding a globe, Hamza says I WONDER HOW YOU'D MAKE
A MAP OF THE PLANET EARTH.
A slate shows Cool Cat breaking into pieces and coming into one again. The slate reads "Deconstruct."
Hamza says DECONSTRUCT EARTH!
(rumbling, clattering)
NOT THE REAL EARTH,
JUST THE GLOBE!
The globe appears in a 3D version.
Hamza says WHOA!
WHEN YOU TAKE A 3D GLOBE
AND TRY TO TURN
IT INTO A 2D MAP,
EITHER THE SHAPE OF
THE MAP HAS TO CHANGE,
OR THE SHAPE OF THE OCEANS
AND LAND HAS TO CHANGE.
A caption reads "Mercator projection."
An animated world map appears.
He continues THAT'S WHY ON REGULAR FLAT
MAPS THE SHAPE AND SIZE OF
COUNTRIES AREN'T EXACT.
FOR EXAMPLE, GREENLAND LOOKS
AS BIG AS AFRICA ON THIS MAP
BUT IT'S ACTUALLY
FOURTEEN TIMES SMALLER.
A GLOBE IS THE BEST KIND OF MAP
FOR LOOKING AT THE WHOLE WORLD
BECAUSE IT'S THE RIGHT SHAPE.
In the animation, the pirate sits by a bonfire.
(wind blowing)
The pirate says ARGH!
The wind blows him away placing him near the treasure.
He says AH!
He takes two other maps out of the treasure chest.
Happy, he says ARGH!
(laughing)
Hamza plays hokey pokey.
Then, he says DID YOU KNOW THAT SOME
EXPERTS THINK LISTENING TO
MUSIC HELPS YOU
BE BETTER AT MATH?
I'M GONNA START LISTENING TO
A LOT MORE MUSIC RIGHT AWAY.
HOW DO I GET TO
THE SYMPHONY HALL?
The cell phone says PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE.
Hamza says EVERYONE'S A COMEDIAN.
The cell phone says DO YOU HAVE
A PROBLEM WITH THAT?
Hamza says FORTUNATELY, I DON'T NEED TO
COUNT ON MY PHONE ALL THE TIME.
THERE'S SO MANY DIFFERENT
KINDS OF MAPS TO HELP ME OUT.
THERE ARE MAPS FOR
THE BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN
OR FOR THE TOP OF A MOUNTAIN.
MAPS CAN SHOW YOU YOUR WHOLE
HOUSE OR THE WHOLE SOLAR SYSTEM.
IN FACT, THERE ARE MAPS
FOR ALMOST ANYTHING.
MAYBE SOMEDAY, YOU'LL USE
A MAP LIKE THIS TO HELP YOU GET
TO OTHER PLANETS LIKE MARS.
The cell phone says DESTINATION MARS.
BLAST OFF IN ROCKET.
TRAVEL 225 MILLION KILOMETRES.
DESTINATION IS ON YOUR RIGHT.
Hamza says OH, SURE, NOW YOU'RE WORKING.
COULD YOU TELL ME HOW TO
GET TO MY GRANDMA'S HOUSE?
The cell phone says BLAST OFF IN ROCKET.
TRAVEL 225 MILLION KILOMETRES.
DESTINATION IS ON YOUR RIGHT.
Hamza says I REALLY GOTTA GET THIS FIXED.
SEE YOU NEXT TIME
FOR MORE
LOOK KOOL!
The theme music plays.
The end credits roll next to shots of the show.
Gargol says I DIDN'T DO IT! I DIDN'T DO IT!
Joel waves and says AND WE'RE BACK!
I HOPE YOU ENJOYED THAT EPISODE,
AND I HOPE IT GAVE YOU LOTS OF
IDEAS ABOUT THINGS A MAP NEEDS,
BECAUSE TOGETHER TODAY
WE ARE GOING TO BE
MAKING MAPS OF OUR OWN.
I WANT YOU TO THINK OF
A ROOM IN YOUR HOUSE
AND YOU'RE GOING TO
DRAW A MAP OF IT.
NOW, BEFORE WE GET STARTED,
SOME OF THE THINGS I HEARD IN
THAT EPISODE THAT
A MAP NEEDS ARE A SCALE.
SO, REMEMBER, A SCALE HELPS US
DECIDE HOW BIG ALL THE PARTS OF
OUR MAP IS GOING TO BE, OKAY?
WE USE A LOT OF CAREFUL
MEASUREMENT WITH MAPS TO
MAKE SURE THAT WHAT WE'RE
REPRESENTING ON THE PAPER
IS ACCURATE TO THE SIZE
OF WHAT WE'RE DRAWING.
ANOTHER THING THAT
A MAP NEEDS IS A LEGEND.
SO, REMEMBER FROM THAT EPISODE,
A LEGEND ARE LITTLE ICONS
OR SYMBOLS ON YOUR MAP THAT
REPRESENT THINGS IN REAL LIFE.
AND SOMETIMES, BUT NOT ALWAYS,
A MAP MIGHT HAVE A GRID ON IT.
THOSE ARE THE LINES THAT
GO UP AND DOWN AND ACROSS,
AND THEY CAN BE
ASSIGNED LETTERS AND NUMBERS
AND THEY CAN HELP US
FIND LOCATIONS ON THAT MAP
A LITTLE BIT QUICKER.
NOW, THINKING ABOUT
ALL THOSE THINGS,
WE ARE GOING TO
MAKE A MAP TOGETHER.
NOW, I WANT TO
TELL YOU RIGHT AWAY.
DRAWING A MAP IS
A PRETTY BIG JOB.
IT'S A LOT OF FUN,
BUT THERE'S LOTS OF STEPS THAT
GO INTO IT AND IT'S SO IMPORTANT
THAT YOU TAKE YOUR TIME
WORKING SLOWLY AND CAREFULLY.
SO, YOU'RE ACTUALLY NOT GOING
TO DRAW YOUR MAP RIGHT NOW.
I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU A MAP
I STARTED AND I'M GOING TO TALK
YOU THROUGH SOME OF THE STEPS
THAT YOU WANT TO FOLLOW FOR
MAKING YOUR MAP AT HOME,
BUT THIS JOB, DRAWING A MAP,
IS SOMETHING YOU'RE GOING
TO DO WHEN THE EPISODE IS OVER.
YOU MIGHT SPEND THE REST
OF THE DAY WORKING ON IT,
YOU MIGHT DO
A LITTLE BIT EVERY DAY.
IT MIGHT TAKE
YOU ALL WEEK, OKAY?
BUT IT'S A SUPER FUN JOB,
AND IF YOU LIKE IT,
YOU MIGHT START DRAWING MAPS
OF EVERY ROOM IN YOUR HOUSE.
I WONDER IF ANY OF US COULD
DRAW A MAP OF OUR ENTIRE HOUSE.
NOW, I'VE STARTED
WITH JUST ONE ROOM.
AS YOU CAN SEE HERE
WITH MY TITLE,
THIS IS THE MAP OF MY KITCHEN.
NOW, TAKE A LOOK.
IS IT FINISHED?
He shows a blue piece of water with a rectangle.
He continues NO, I'VE GOTTEN STARTED.
SO, STEP ONE, YOU'RE GOING
TO WANT TO THINK ABOUT
IS A TITLE, OKAY? IF I DON'T
WRITE WHAT THIS MAP IS,
NO ONE WILL KNOW.
SO, YOUR MAP
NEEDS A TITLE, OKAY?
A TERM THAT WE HEARD IN THAT
EPISODE IS, "A BIRD'S EYE VIEW."
SO, REMEMBER, IT'S LIKE A BIRD
WAY UP HIGH IS LOOKING DOWN AT
THE ROOM YOU'RE GOING
TO DRAW FROM ABOVE,
AND YOU'RE GOING TO THINK
ABOUT THE SHAPE IT IS, OKAY?
YOU CAN SEE I LIVE IN
A CONDO IN DOWNTOWN TORONTO,
WHICH MEANS MY
KITCHEN ISN'T VERY BIG,
AND IT IS KIND OF LIKE
A LONG SKINNY RECTANGLE, OKAY?
SO, ADD A TITLE,
AND THEN THINK ABOUT
A BIRD'S EYE VIEW, OKAY?
DOING THE SHAPE OF
THIS ROOM FROM ABOVE.
NOW, BEFORE YOU DO THE SHAPE,
YOU'RE GOING TO THINK
ABOUT THE SCALE, OKAY?
SO, WHEN I DREW THIS SCALE,
THE FIRST THING I DID WAS
MEASURE MY KITCHEN USING
MY HANDS.
MAYBE YOU'VE DONE
THAT AT SCHOOL BEFORE,
AND I FOUND OUT THAT
MY KITCHEN WAS 12 HANDS LONG.
NOW, IF I TRY TO DRAW SOMETHING
THAT'S AS LONG AS 12 HANDS
ON THIS PAPER,
IT'S NOT GOING TO FIT.
SO, I USED THE SCALE.
EVERY TWO CENTIMETERS IN
THIS LINE REPRESENTS ONE HAND,
AND YOU CAN SEE THAT WRITTEN
UP HERE AT THE TOP, OKAY?
AGAIN, IF I DON'T SAY THAT,
THE PERSON WHO'S LOOKING AT
THIS MAP WON'T UNDERSTAND
HOW BIG MY KITCHEN IS.
SO, USING A MEASURING TAPE
OR A RULER,
YOU'RE CAREFULLY GOING TO
MAKE SURE THAT YOUR LINE IS
THE RIGHT SIZE.
SO, I TOLD YOU MY
KITCHEN WAS 12 HANDS LONG.
IF EVERY HAND
IS TWO CENTIMETERS,
I MADE SURE THIS LINE
IS 24 CENTIMETERS.
ALRIGHT, YOU CAN SEE
I'VE ALSO STARTED A LEGEND,
BUT THERE'S NOTHING ON IT YET.
MY MAP ISN'T FINISHED.
I'D JUST DONE THE OUTLINE, OKAY?
MY KITCHEN HAPPENS
TO BE A RECTANGLE,
BUT MAYBE SOME OF THE ROOMS
WHERE YOU LIVE AREN'T ALWAYS
PERFECT SHAPES LIKE THIS.
SO, THIS JOB MIGHT
TAKE A WHILE, OKAY?
BUT YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT
THE OUTLINE OF YOUR ROOM IS
READY TO GO BEFORE YOU START
ADDING THINGS IN YOUR LEGEND.
THE FIRST THING
I'M GOING TO ADD INTO MY MAP
IS A DOOR, OKAY?
IN MY KITCHEN,
I HAVE A DOOR IN THAT CORNER.
NOW, I'M GOING TO
GO OVER TO MY LEGEND,
AND I'M GOING TO LET THE PERSON
WHO'S LOOKING AT MY MAP
KNOW THAT THAT
SYMBOL MEANS DOOR, OKAY?
I DON'T HAVE TO WRITE DOOR,
I DON'T HAVE TO DRAW AN ACTUAL
DOOR WITH THE DOOR HANDLE.
THIS KIND OF
OPENING SYMBOL I DID
MEANS DOOR, OKAY?
THE NEXT THING
I'M GOING TO ADD IS...
SEE IF YOU CAN THINK
ABOUT WHAT IT MIGHT BE.
MY OVEN, OKAY? MY OVEN
IS IN THIS CORNER, RIGHT?
IF THERE'S A BIRD'S EYE VIEW,
A BIRD LOOKING DOWN,
IT'S IN THAT CORNER,
AND I DREW KIND OF WHAT THE TOP
OF IT IS WHAT
IT LOOKS LIKE, OKAY?
AGAIN, I HAVE TO
ADD THAT TO MY LEGEND.
SO, WE KNOW THAT THIS
SYMBOL ON THE MAP MEANS OVEN.
SO, ONCE YOU'VE DRAWN
THE OUTLINE OF YOUR ROOM FROM
A BIRD'S EYE VIEW,
THINKING OF COURSE, ABOUT SCALE,
YOU'RE GOING TO START FILLING IN
ALL THE THINGS INSIDE THAT ROOM.
THE FURNITURE,
THE DOORS, THE WINDOWS, OKAY?
AND YOU'RE GOING TO ADD
ALL OF THAT TO YOUR LEGEND.
NOW, I'M GOING TO PAUSE THERE,
BECAUSE THIS IS A BIG
LEARNING JOB, AND WE MIGHT NEED
TO GET UP AND MOVE OUR BODIES.
SO, ALL TOGETHER
LET'S TAKE A HEALTH BREAK
BEFORE WE CONTINUE THE LEARNING.
A clip plays.
(hip hop beat playing)
Out of a shiny light, Mickeey pops up in a TV studio with graffiti on the walls. He is in his early teens, with short black hair. He wears a red and black jacket, blue jeans and a gray T-shirt.
Mickeey says YO, WHAT'S UP?
WHAT'S GOING ON, MOVERS?
TODAY WE'RE GOING TO
BE LEARNING ONE OF
THE TASTIEST DANCES OF ALL TIME.
SAY HELLO TO THE VEGGIE PULL.
HEY!
YOU'RE GOING TO TAKE A STEP TO
THE SIDE AND A SIDE AND A SIDE.
THEN YOUR LAST MOVE YOU'RE
GOING TO KICK IT UP THEN DOWN.
ONE MORE TIME.
SIDE AND SIDE AND SIDE.
KICK IT UP AND DOWN,
AND SIDE AND SIDE AND SIDE.
KICK IT UP AND DOWN.
YOU GUYS KNOW WHAT
THE FEET ARE DOING.
LET'S CHECK IN WITH THE HANDS.
TAKE YOUR BASKET
AND GATHER YOUR VEGGIES,
AND VEGGIES, WRAP YOUR
ARMS AROUND YOUR BASKET,
THEN PULL. ONE MORE TIME.
GRAB YOUR VEGGIES,
GRAB YOUR VEGGIES,
BASKET, AND PULL.
YOU GUYS JUST LEARNED
THE VEGGIE PULL WITH
THE HANDS AND FEET TOGETHER.
MUSIC AND FRIENDS?
FIVE, SIX, SEVEN.
Daniel and Kara join him and they all dance.
Mickeey says GRAB YOUR VEGGIES,
HIP, HIP, AND CIRCLE ARMS.
HAH, AND KEEP IT GOING GUYS.
HERE WE GO. WHOO!
LAST TIME GUYS. HAH!
NICE! WHOO!
GUESS WHAT, GUYS?
YOU JUST MOVED WITH MICKEEY.
SEE YA!
The clip ends.
Joel says AND WE'RE BACK AND READY FOR
SOME MORE LEARNING AND FUN.
NOW, I'VE STARTED
MY MAP OF MY KITCHEN.
AS YOU CAN SEE I'M NOT FINISHED.
I TOLD YOU EARLIER IN THIS
EPISODE, THIS IS A BIG JOB.
YOU WANT TO GO SLOW AND CAREFUL.
STEP BY STEP.
WE'RE GOING TO TALK QUICKLY
ABOUT THE SCALE, OKAY?
I TOLD YOU EARLIER,
I MEASURED MY KITCHEN
USING MY HAND,
BUT I MEASURED THIS
LINE USING CENTIMETRES.
THERE'S SO MANY WAYS
WE CAN MEASURE THINGS,
AND THEY FALL
INTO TWO CATEGORIES.
THE FIRST CATEGORY FOR
MEASUREMENTS IS WHAT WE CALL
STANDARD UNITS OF MEASUREMENT,
OKAY?
YOU CAN SEE THAT UP
THERE AT THE TOP OF MY
WHITE BOARD, OKAY?
ONE TYPE OF A STANDARD UNIT
OF MEASUREMENT IS WHAT WE
CALL THE CENTIMETRE, OKAY?
I'VE DRAWN A LINE THERE.
THAT'S ABOUT
ONE CENTIMETRE LONG, OKAY?
IT'S NOT SUPER BIG,
BUT WHEN YOU'RE MEASURING,
YOU CAN ALSO USE A STANDARD
UNIT OF MEASUREMENT
CALLED A METRE.
NOW, A METRE IS
A CENTIMETRE 100 TIMES.
NOW, IF YOU AT HOME ARE
GOING TO USE STANDARD UNITS
OF MEASUREMENT,
THAT MEANS YOU'RE GOING TO USE
A MEASUREMENT TOOL LIKE A RULER
OR MAYBE EVEN A TAPE MEASURE.
SO, I HAD THIS
TAPE MEASURE AT HOME,
AND I CAN USE THIS TO MEASURE
A STANDARD UNIT OF MEASUREMENT.
AT THE BOTTOM THERE
ARE THE CENTIMETRES.
IF YOU'RE USING A RULER,
TAKE A CLOSE LOOK AT IT.
MOST RULERS ARE
30 CENTIMETRES LONG,
BUT SOME ARE LONGER.
SO, LOOK CLOSELY TO SEE HOW MANY
CENTIMETRES ARE ON THAT RULER.
NOW, WHEN YOU'RE DOING
YOUR MAP AT HOME,
YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE A RULER
AND YOU MIGHT NOT
HAVE A MEASURING TAPE,
AND THAT'S TOTALLY OKAY,
BECAUSE THOSE ARE ONLY
TWO TOOLS FOR MEASURING,
AND WE HAVE SOME OTHER TOOLS
WE CAN USE FOR MEASURING,
AND THEY FALL UNDER
THE SECOND CATEGORY.
WE CALL THIS NON-STANDARD
UNITS OF MEASUREMENT, OKAY?
SO, IT'S NOT A CENTIMETRE,
IT'S NOT A METRE.
WE CAN ACTUALLY
MEASURE WITH OUR HANDS,
WITH OUR FEET,
WE COULD MEASURE WITH BOOK,
WE COULD MEASURE
WITH WATER BOTTLES,
WE COULD MEASURE
WITH MARKERS, OKAY?
THESE ARE JUST SOME IDEAS, OKAY?
BUT WE DON'T ALWAYS HAVE TO
USE CENTIMETRES AND METRES.
IT CAN BE USEFUL,
BUT WE CAN ALSO MEASURE USING
NON-STANDARD UNITS.
NOW, IF YOU'RE GOING
TO BE MEASURING USING
NON-STANDARD UNITS,
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING
I'M GOING TO TELL YOU IS TO MAKE
SURE THAT WHEN YOU'RE MEASURING
HOW MANY MARKERS
LONG YOUR ROOM IS,
YOU MAKE SURE THAT
THEY LINE UP LIKE THIS
WHEN YOU'RE MEASURING.
He joins the two markers at one end.
He continues YOU DON'T WANT TO LEAVE
GAPS IN BETWEEN, OKAY?
AND I WANT TO SHOW YOU WHY.
IF I'M MEASURING THE HEIGHT
OF THIS PAPER I'M HOLDING UP
USING MARKERS
AND I PUT ONE MARKER HERE, OKAY?
SO, SO FAR IT'S ONE MARKER,
AND THEN I DO ANOTHER ONE.
I'M GOING TO HOLD
THIS UP LIKE THAT.
OKAY, WE GOT ONE MARKER,
AND OKAY, YUP.
IT'S ABOUT TWO MARKERS TALL.
DO YOU NOTICE
THERE'S A GAP HERE?
IT'S ACTUALLY NOT
TWO MARKERS TALL.
LOOK AT TWO MARKERS
AND LOOK AT MY PAPER.
THEY'RE NOT THE SAME SIZE, OKAY?
The paper is bigger than the two markers together.
He continues SO, IT'S SO IMPORTANT
THAT WHEN YOU'RE USING
A NON-STANDARD UNIT, OKAY?
YOU MAKE SURE IT LINES UP
PERFECTLY WITH THE LAST ONE.
THERE'S NO GAPS, OKAY?
THEN I WOULD KEEP GOING.
IT'S ABOUT TWO MARKERS
AND ONE LID, OKAY?
SAME GOES FOR USING YOUR HANDS
AND USING YOUR FEET, OKAY?
YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE
THEY LINE UP PERFECTLY.
DON'T LEAVE A GAP, ALRIGHT?
THIS IS TONS OF INFORMATION
ABOUT MEASURING WITH
STANDARD UNITS
AND NON-STANDARD UNITS,
AND WE HAVE AN EPISODE OF
ODD SQUAD
WE CAN CHECK OUT
TOGETHER NOW THAT'S GOING TO
GIVE US EVEN MORE INFORMATION.
A clip plays.
Olive wears a dark blue Odd Squad uniform. She has combed side-parted brown hair.
Olive says MY NAME IS AGENT OLIVE.
THIS IS MY PARTNER, AGENT OTTO.
A picture of Oto appears. He has black hair and bangs.
She continues THIS IS THE ODD SQUAD
BATHROOM KEY,
BUT BACK TO OTTO AND ME.
WE WORK FOR
AN ORGANISATION RUN BY KIDS
THAT INVESTIGATES
ANYTHING STRANGE, WEIRD,
AND ESPECIALLY ODD.
OUR JOB IS TO PUT
THINGS RIGHT AGAIN.
(shouting)
(whinnying)
(zapping)
Fast clips show the agents' adventures.
A puppet agent runs and says COME ON! COME ON!
Olive says WHO DO WE WORK FOR?
WE WORK FOR ODD SQUAD.
A file reads "Rise of the Hydraclops."
Olive and Otto stand next to a man in his kitchen. He is wearing pijamas.
The man says THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING,
ODD SQUAD.
Olive says WHAT SEEMS TO BE
THE PROBLEM, SIR?
The man says SO, I'M SITTING HERE TRYING
TO CATCH UP ON A BUNCH OF WORK,
BUT EVERY TIME
I CLICK THIS PEN...
IT'S EASIER IF I JUST SHOW YOU.
He clicks the pen and they appear on the street.
The agents say WHOA!
The man says IT JUST KEEPS GOING.
Now, they appear in a yard.
The agents say WHOA!
The man says AND WATCH.
They appear in a plane.
The agents say WHOA!
The man says I KNOW!
Otto says QUESTION, HOW DID YOU
START AT YOUR HOUSE?
The man says THAT WASN'T EVEN MY HOUSE.
I HAVEN'T BEEN
HOME FOR SIX WEEKS.
Olive says NOT TO WORRY, SIR.
WE HAVE A FIX.
DON'T USE THIS PEN ANY MORE.
The man says OH, YEAH.
Olive says USE ONE OF OURS.
The man says OH!
THANKS, ODD SQUAD.
Otto says HAVE A GREAT DAY.
The man says WAIT, WHERE AM I FLYING TO?
A man in a suit says WE'RE GOING TO BOSTON.
The man says OH, I'VE GOT FAMILY THERE.
Olive and Otto walk into the headquarters.
Olive says HEY, OSCAR. HAPPY FRIDAY.
Oscar wears a doctor apron, glasses and a green bow tie.
Shocked, Oscar says IT'S FRIDAY TODAY?
Otto says WHAT'S WRONG?
Oscar says I THOUGHT TODAY WAS
THURSDAY AND IT'S FRIDAY!
SO, THAT MEANS
THE ARRIVAL'S HAPPENING TODAY.
Ms. O says THE ARRIVAL IS HAPPENING TODAY?
Oscar says IT IS!
Olive says EVERYONE, STOP!
WHAT'S ARRIVING?
Oscar says THE HYDRACLOPS.
Olive and Otto say WHOA!
They look at a black and white picture on a wall. It shows a huge monster behind skyscrapers.
Oscar says THIS PHOTO WAS
TAKEN 100 YEARS AGO.
IMAGINE HOW TERRIFYING
IT'LL BE IN COLOUR.
Ms. O says IF THAT THING RISES
OUT OF THE TOWN LAKE,
IT'LL DESTROY THE WHOLE WORLD.
Olive says HOW DO WE STOP IT?
Oscar says WELL, THAT'S THE GOOD NEWS.
WHEN I WAS FIVE YEARS OLD,
I REALISED THAT
THE HYDRACLOPS WAS COMING,
SO I CREATED A POWERFUL WEAPON
AND BURIED IT.
In a memory, little Oscar says IT IS DONE.
Back in the present, Oscar says THIS DIAGRAM SHOWS
WHERE THE WEAPON IS BURIED.
IT ALSO HAS SOME PICTURES ON IT,
LIKE THIS TREE AND THE WATER.
Ms. O says QUIT THE FANCY TALK! IT'S A MAP.
Oscar says OH, YEAH, THAT'S A WAY
BETTER WORD FOR IT.
Ms. O says OLIVE AND OTTO,
GO HELP OSCAR FIND THAT WEAPON.
She screams AGENT OLAF!
Smiling, Olaf says I'M OLAF.
Ms. O says YOU'RE COMING WITH ME
TO GET EVERYONE AWAY
FROM THE TOWN LAKE.
Excited, Olaf says YAY!
Ms. O says THIS IS SERIOUS STUFF, OLAF.
MAYBE I SHOULD PICK
SOMEONE ELSE TO GO!
Oscar says COME ON, GUYS.
Olive says OSCAR!
Oscar says YEAH?
Olive says THE MAP.
Oscar says OH, YEAH, I FORGOT.
SO, GLAD YOU GUYS ARE
DOING THIS WITH ME.
Now, in a park, Oscar says THE MAP SAYS THAT
THE TREASURE'S BURIED EXACTLY
10 NORMANS AWAY FROM THIS TREE.
Olive says WHAT'S A NORMAN?
Oscar says MY FAVOURITE TEDDY BEAR
WHEN I WAS FIVE.
Olive says OH.
UH, COULDN'T YOU OF
MEASURED WITH A RULER,
LIKE EVERYONE ELSE DOES?
Oscar says YEAH, AND JUST HAND OVER
THE WORLD TO THE HYDRACLOPS!
RULERS ARE EVERYWHERE.
THERE'S ONLY ONE NORMAN.
HELLO!
(burbling)
WHOO!
(clearing throat)
THE POINT IS, EVEN IF
THE HYDRACLOPS GOT MY MAP,
HE WOULDN'T HAVE
MY TEDDY BEAR TO MEASURE WITH,
SO HE COULDN'T
FIND THE TREASURE.
Otto says HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO THIS?
THE MAP SAYS THE TREASURE'S
BURIED 10 TEDDY BEARS
AWAY FROM THE TREE,
BUT WE ONLY HAVE ONE.
Oscar says YEAH, BUT WATCH.
AS LONG AS YOU KEEP YOUR PLACE,
YOU CAN USE THE SAME
TEDDY BEAR TEN TIMES.
YOU'VE JUST GOT TO MAKE SURE
THAT, WHEN YOU START A NEW BEAR,
YOU GET ITS HEAD RIGHT UP
TO THE LINE THAT YOU MAKE
WITH YOUR FINGER.
THAT WAY YOU KNOW THAT
YOU'RE MEASURING
REALLY CAREFULLY.
WHEE!
WHAT?! NORMAN LIKES IT
WHEN I MAKE NOISES.
WHEE!
An animated bunny says A LITTLE LATER.
Oscar says AND TEN. THIS MUST BE IT.
Olive says EXCELLENT.
I'LL USE THE UN-DIG-ANATOR.
Otto says COOL, AND I'LL GET NORMAN.
Olive digs out the treasure using a special device.
Oscar says THERE IT IS.
(grunting)
GOT IT.
Oscar takes a map out of the treasure chest.
Olive says WHAT?!
Otto says ANOTHER MAP?!
Oscar says OF COURSE. WHAT DID YOU THINK,
I'M JUST GOING TO HAND OVER
THE WORLD TO THE HYDRACLOPS?
THE MAP SAYS THAT THE NEXT
TREASURE CHEST IS EXACTLY
50 GRANOLA BARS FROM THIS SPOT.
Otto says WHAT KIND OF GRANOLA BAR?
THERE ARE SHORT ONES, LONG ONES,
AND NORMAL SIZED ONES.
Oscar says GOOD QUESTION.
I MEASURED USING
MY FAVOURITE GRANOLA BAR,
WHICH IS A SCHMUMBER CRUNCH.
THERE SHOULD BE SOME
MORE BACK AT HEADQUARTERS.
Otto says OK, YOU TWO GO.
I'LL STAY HERE AND KEEP GUARD.
Olive says REALLY? BUT YOU LOVE FOOD.
Otto says YEAH, I'M COOL.
Olive says OK. LET'S GO.
Playing with the teddy bear, Otto says YOU'RE SO ADORABLE!
YOU'RE SO ADORABLE!
A woman sunbathes at the beach.
Ms. O says MA'AM, WE'VE GOT
AN ODD SITUATION.
YOU'LL NEED TO LEAVE THE BEACH.
The woman says BUT I'M RELAXING.
Ms. O shows her a picture and says THIS IS THE HYDRACLOPS.
HE LAST ROSE 100 YEARS AGO
AND NOW HE'S ABOUT TO
COME OUT OF THERE, DOING THIS.
Olaf screams and grows.
The woman says WELL, WHEN YOU PUT IT THAT WAY.
She screams and runs away.
Ms. O says GOOD WORK, AGENT OLAF.
GO DO THE SAME THING TO THEM.
In an office, Olive says I CAN'T FIND
SCHMUMBER CRUNCH ANYWHERE.
Oscar says ME NEITHER.
O'Malley says HEY, GUYS.
Oscar says OH, HEY, HEY, HEY.
Olive says DID YOU SEE THAT?
Oscar says I KNOW,
O'MALLEY'S ALWAYS SO FRIENDLY.
Olive says NO, HE WAS HOLDING
A SCHMUMBER CRUNCH BAR!
They scream O'MALLEY!
(shouting)
Oscar says STOP RUNNING!
O'Malley says WHY ARE YOU CHASING ME?
Olive says O'MALLEY!
Oscar and Olive yell O'MALLEY!
O'Malley says WHAT DO YOU WANT?
Olive says OFFICIAL ODD SQUAD BUSINESS.
WE NEED THAT SNACK.
O'Malley says OFFICIAL ODD SQUAD BUSINESS? NO.
Oscar says YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.
IT'S THE ONLY WAY TO
STOP THE HYDRACLOPS.
O'Malley says GOOD ONE.
Olive says WAIT!
WE DON'T ACTUALLY NEED THE BAR.
Oscar says WE DON'T?
O'Malley says YOU DON'T?
Olive says WE JUST DID SOMETHING
AS LONG AS THE BAR
AND WE CAN USE
THAT TO MEASURE WITH.
JUST, PLEASE,
CAN WE BORROW THE GRANOLA BAR?
O'Malley sighs and hands her the bar.
Olive says THANK YOU.
Olive compares the bar to a toy car.
Olive says TOO LONG.
Oscar says HOW ABOUT THIS ERASER?
Olive says TOO SHORT.
O'Malley says HOW ABOUT THIS SWORD?
Olive says WHY DO YOU HAVE A SWORD?
O'Malley says FOR DRAGONS.
Olive says SOME PEOPLE.
Oscar says HOW ABOUT THIS PENCIL?
Olive says IT'S THE EXACT SAME LENGTH!
Oscar says LET'S GO SAVE THE WORLD.
Olive says THANKS FOR YOUR HELP, O'MALLEY.
Back in the park, Oscar says 47, 48, 49, 50.
HERE.
Olive sighs.
Oscar says GOT IT.
Otto and Olive says ANOTHER MAP!
Oscar says WHAT DO YOU THINK?
I'M JUST GOING TO HAND...
Olive says HAND OVER THE WORLD.
WE GET IT, WE GET IT.
Oscar says I PROMISE THIS IS THE LAST
TREASURE CHEST WE NEED TO FIND,
AND IT'LL BE EASY
BECAUSE I MEASURED
USING 100 OF MY OWN FOOTSTEPS.
LET'S GO HEEL TO TOE.
ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR...
The animated bunny says A LITTLE EVEN MORE LATER.
Oscar says 98, 99, 100. HERE.
The hole is empty.
Otto says WHAT? WHERE IS IT?
Oscar says I COUNTED EXACTLY 100 STEPS.
Olive says WHAT DO WE DO NOW?
Oscar says I DON'T KNOW.
Olive says BUT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO KNOW!
Oscar says I KNOW!
(phone ringing)
Oscar says YELLO.
Ms. O yells WHERE'S THAT WEAPON?
Oscar says SORRY, MS. O.
WE RAN INTO A SMALL PROBLEM.
Ms. O yells WELL, FIX IT! THE HYDRACLOPS
IS STARTING TO RISE!
WE CAN ONLY HOLD THIS
THING OFF FOR SO LONG.
Oscar says THE MAP SAID 100 FOOTSTEPS.
Otto says MAYBE YOU READ IT WRONG.
I'M SURE YOUR HANDWRITING HAS
CHANGED SINCE YOU WERE FIVE.
Olive says THAT'S IT! YOU BURIED
THE CHEST WHEN YOU WERE FIVE.
WHEN YOU WERE THAT LITTLE,
YOUR FEET WERE LITTLE.
OLIVE'S RIGHT!
AND BECAUSE YOUR
FEET ARE BIGGER NOW,
IT WON'T TAKE AS MANY FOOTSTEPS
TO GET TO THE TREASURE.
Oscar says SO WE...
Olive says WE HAVE TO MEASURE
WITH THE LENGTH OF YOUR
FIVE YEAR OLD FOOT.
Otto says HOW DO WE FIGURE OUT THE LENGTH
OF YOUR FIVE YEAR OLD FOOT?
Oscar says EASY.
He opens his apron and several shoes hang on the inside.
He says LET'S SEE HERE.
SEVEN YEAR OLD SHOES,
FOUR YEAR OLD SHOES. AH!
FIVE YEAR OLD SHOES.
Olive says I'D LOVE TO TALK ABOUT
HOW WEIRD THAT IT IS,
BUT WE DON'T HAVE TIME.
They say 97, 98, 99,
100!
Olive says MOMENT OF TRUTH, GUYS.
Otto says YES!
Oscar says GOT IT.
Otto says COME ON, NORMAN,
LET'S SAVE THE DAY.
They run to the beach shouting.
Oscar says WE GOT IT, MS. O.
Ms. O says JUST IN TIME. WE CAN'T
HOLD HIM OFF ANY LONGER.
LOOK.
The monster roars in the sea.
Olive says OSCAR, GET THE WEAPON.
Oscar takes a sock out of the chest.
Olive and Otto say A SOCK?
Oscar says NOT JUST A SOCK,
IT'S A REALLY STINKY SOCK
BECAUSE IT'S BEEN
BURIED FOR SO LONG.
Olive says HOW IS A SOCK GOING
TO STOP THE HYDRACLOPS?
Olaf says IT IS EFFECTIVE
BECAUSE THE HYDRACLOPS MONSTER
HAS HEIGHTENED OLFACTORY SENSE
DUE TO ITS INCREASE
IN NOSTRIL CAPACITY.
The agents say WHAT?!
Olaf says IT HAS A BIG NOSE
FOR SMELLING. YAY!
Oscar says GO BACK TO THE DEPTHS
FROM WHICH YOU CAME FROM.
The sock glows producing a green light. The monster disappears.
(all cheering)
Ms. O says GREAT WORK, TEAM.
EVERYONE IS SAFE.
Oscar says AT LEAST FOR THE NEXT 100 YEARS.
Ms. O says WHAT?
Oscar says AND THEN HE'LL BE RETURNING
WITH HIS BROTHERS AND SISTERS.
Ms. O yells WHAT?
Oscar says EVERYONE, SOCKS OFF.
They rush to take their socks off.
(music plays)
A colourful animated slate reads "Odd Squad Training Video number 94. How to deal with a Saffron Slimer."
Oscar says OH, HEY GUYS.
DIDN'T SEE YOU THERE,
BUT SINCE WE'RE TALKING,
WHAT SHOULD YOU DO IF
YOU STUMBLE UPON A SAFFRON
SLIMER PLANT LIKE THIS ONE?
STAY CALM. A SAFFRON SLIMER
PLANT WILL ONLY SLIME YOU
IF YOU ARE HEAVIER THAN IT.
HOW CAN YOU TELL IF YOU'RE
HEAVIER THAN A SAFFRON SLIMER?
IT'S EASY WITH
THE USE OF A PAN BALANCE.
He appears standing on a balance.
He continues RIGHT NOW I'M HIGHER
AND THE PLANT IS LOWER.
THAT MEANS THE PLANT
IS HEAVIER AND I'M LIGHTER.
IT ALSO MEANS I'M SAFE
FROM GETTING SLIMED.
HERE I AM WITH
A SMALLER PLANT.
THE GOOD NEWS
IS WE'RE EQUAL.
THAT MEANS I WEIGH THE SAME AS
THE PLANT AND THE SAFFRON SLIMER
ONLY SLIMES YOU IF
YOU'RE HEAVIER THAN IT.
SO, I'M STILL SAFE.
In off, O'Connor says HEY, OSCAR, CATCH.
Oscar says IT WOULD APPEAR THAT O'CONNOR
DECIDED TO PASS ME A FOOTBALL,
AND THE WEIGHT OF THE FOOTBALL
IS JUST ENOUGH TO TIP THE SCALE,
WHICH MEANS I'M LOWER,
AND THE PLANT IS HIGHER,
WHICH MEANS I'M HEAVIER
AND THE PLANT IS LIGHTER,
WHICH MEANS...
I'M COVERED IN SLIME.
HEY, O'CONNOR. CATCH!
O'Connor says YEAH!
Oscar says AND NOW, AN OFFICIAL
MESSAGE FROM MS. O.
Sitting at her desk, Miss O says HAS SOMETHING ODD HAPPENED TO
YOU AT HOME OR IN YOUR SCHOOL?
HAVE YOU TURNED INVISIBLE
OR BEGUN WALKING ON THE CEILING?
ARE THINGS REPEATING
THEMSELVES OVER AND OVER AGAIN?
ARE THINGS REPEATING
THEMSELVES OVER AND OVER AGAIN?
IF SO, ODD SQUAD CAN HELP.
WE CAN FIX ODD PROBLEMS
AND SET THINGS RIGHT AGAIN.
CALL US TODAY.
OUR AGENTS ARE STANDING BY.
(phones ringing)
A baby boy sits on the floor surrounded by telephones.
She continues OR SITTING.
YOU KNOW WHAT?
JUST GO TO THE WEBSITE.
TVOKIDS. COM
WELL? WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
GO! I SAID GO!
The end credits roll.
Logo: Sinking Ship Entertainment.
The clip ends.
Joel says THAT WAS AN AWESOME
EPISODE OF
ODD SQUAD
AND IT GAVE ME TONS OF
IDEAS ABOUT HOW TO MEASURE
USING STANDARD UNITS,
LIKE A CENTIMETRE OR A METRE,
BUT ESPECIALLY WITH
NON-STANDARD UNITS
LIKE MEASURING WITH MY HANDS.
IN THAT EPISODE,
THEY MEASURED WITH A TEDDY BEAR.
NOW, MEASURING WITH
NON-STANDARD UNITS IS GOING TO
BE SUPER DUPER IMPORTANT
AS WE CONTINUE WORKING ON
THE MAPS OF A ROOM IN OUR HOUR.
SO, I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU A BIT
OF A MEASURING CHALLENGE
THAT YOU CAN WORK ON AT HOME
THAT'S GOING TO HELP YOU
LEARN HOW TO BE EVEN BETTER
AT MEASURING, AND THAT'S GOING
TO MAKE YOUR MAP EVEN BETTER.
ALRIGHT. USING YOUR HANDS,
CAN YOU SEE
HOW FAR AWAY YOU ARE
FROM THE TVO COMPUTER RIGHT NOW?
SO, STARTING WHERE
YOU ARE SITTING,
YOU ARE GOING TO LINE
YOUR HAND RIGHT UP WITH YOU.
THAT'S WHERE YOUR
MEASUREMENT STARTS, OKAY?
REMEMBER, WE TALKED A LOT THIS
EPISODE ABOUT LINING UP YOUR
NEXT HAND YOU'RE MEASURING WITH
RIGHT WITH THE ONE YOU'RE USING.
DON'T LEAVE A GAP.
IT WILL NOT GIVE YOU
AN ACCURATE MEASUREMENT, OKAY?
SO, YOU'RE GOING TO GET UP,
PUT ANOTHER HAND DOWN,
PUT ANOTHER HAND DOWN,
AND SEE, USING YOUR HANDS,
HOW FAR AWAY YOU ARE
FROM YOUR TVO COMPUTER.
I WAS FOUR HANDS
AWAY FROM MY COMPUTER.
WE CAN USE
MEASUREMENT TO SHOW THAT.
NOW, YOU CAN
COME UP WITH YOUR OWN
MEASURING CHALLENGES AT HOME.
ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS THINK
ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE MEASURING
AND WHAT NON-STANDARD UNIT
YOU'RE GOING TO MEASURE WITH,
AND ONCE YOU THINK
ABOUT THOSE TWO THINGS,
IT'S SUPER DUPER FUN.
YOU CAN PLAY
WITH A FAMILY MEMBER,
AND DO SOME MEASURING TOGETHER.
SO, MAYBE YOU'LL
COME UP WITH THIS ONE.
HOW MANY SHOES
DOES IT TAKE TO GET FROM
MY BEDROOM TO MY FRONT DOOR?
MAYBE YOU'LL SEE HOW MANY
WATER BOTTLES IT TAKES
TO GET FROM MY LIVING ROOM
TO MY BATHROOM.
SO, IF YOU WANT TO DO
THE MEASURING CHALLENGE AT HOME,
REMEMBER,
YOU'RE GOING TO THINK OF
WHAT YOU'RE MEASURING, RIGHT?
FROM ONE PLACE TO
ANOTHER IN YOUR HOME,
AND YOU'RE GOING TO THINK ABOUT
WHAT YOU'RE MEASURING WITH.
WHAT NON-STANDARD UNIT OR MAYBE
YOU'LL USE A STANDARD UNIT
LIKE A RULER WITH
CENTIMETRES ON IT.
WE STARTED OUR TIME TOGETHER
TODAY TALKING ALL ABOUT MAPS.
WE SAW MAPS OF PROVINCES,
AND I LET YOU KNOW THAT
THERE'S OTHER SORTS OF MAPS.
WE'VE PRACTICED DRAWING OUR
OWN MAP OF A ROOM IN OUR HOUSE
USING A BIRD'S EYE VIEW,
A SCALE, A LEGEND,
AND GOING SLOWLY AND CAREFULLY.
THIS IS A BIG JOB THAT YOU'RE
GOING TO CONTINUE TO WORK ON
AS YOUR DAY GOES ON.
BUT TALKING ABOUT MAPS
ALSO MADE US THINK
A LOT ABOUT MEASUREMENT.
THOSE TWO IDEAS GO TOGETHER
AND THEY ALSO HAVE
SOMETHING IN COMMON.
HAVE YOU NOTICED
MAPS AND MEASUREMENT
BOTH START WITH THE LETTER M.
YOU GOT IT.
TOGETHER, LET'S CHECK OUT THIS
VIDEO ALL ABOUT THE LETTER M
AND SEE HOW MANY
M WORDS WE CAN THINK OF.
A clip plays.
A kid says WHEE!
Logos: TVO Kids and Goddard Brown original.
[GIGGLES]
The name of the show reads "ABC Singsong, by Warren Brown and Adam Goddard."
A Male Announcer says IT'S AN ABC SINGSONG
ABOUT THE LETTER M.
An animated man sings a song that says MOVE, MOVE, M FOR MOVE
MOVE, MOVE, MOVE, M FOR MOVE
OOH
I'VE GOT TO MOVE
WITH THE MONKEY
M FOR MOVE
I'VE GOT TO MOVE
WITH THE MOOSE
M FOR MOVE
UH-HUH, M FOR MOVING
WITH A M-M-M-M-MAMMOTH
M FOR MOVING
WITH MY MANGO JUICE
MOVE, MOVE, M FOR MOVE
MOVE, MOVE, MOVE, M FOR MOVE
I'M MOVING WITH
THE STARS ON M-M-M-MARS
M FOR MOVING WITH MY MITTENS
M FOR MOVE
MOVING WITH
THE MUFFIN IN A MOTORCAR
MOVING, MAKING MAGIC
LIKE A MAGICIAN, TA-DA
MOVE, MOVE, M FOR MOVE
MOVE, MOVE, MOVE, M FOR MOVE
MOVING!
A caption reads "Produced in association with TVO Kids. Marney Malabar, Executive Producer, TVO.
The clip ends.
Joel says ALRIGHT, STUDENTS.
THAT WAS A LOT OF FUN
LEARNING TOGETHER TODAY.
NOW, I'VE LEFT YOU WITH A PRETTY
BIG TASK TO WORK ON AT HOME.
USING EVERYTHING WE
LEARNED IN THIS EPISODE,
YOU'RE GOING TO BE MAKING A MAP.
NOW, REMEMBER, THIS IS NOT A JOB
THAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO IN JUST
A COUPLE OF MINUTES.
THERE'S LOTS OF STEPS.
YOU NEED TO HAVE A TITLE.
YOU NEED TO MEASURE OUT THE ROOM
AND THINK ABOUT
THE SCALE YOU'RE GOING TO USE,
AND THEN CAREFULLY
YOU WANT TO ADD YOUR LEGEND.
NOW, THINK ABOUT SIZE, RIGHT?
IF I DREW MY OVEN THIS BIG,
THAT MEANS MY OVEN FILLS
ALMOST HALF MY KITCHEN, OKAY?
SO, THIS IS LIKE A BIT OF,
LIKE, A PROBLEM-SOLVING TASK,
BUT IT'S A LOT OF FUN
AND YOU'RE GOING TO FEEL SUPER
HAPPY AND PROUD
WHEN IT'S FINISHED.
I'M GOING TO SAY BYE FOR TODAY,
BUT I HOPE YOU'RE EXCITED ABOUT
THE LEARNING WE DID TOGETHER
AND I HOPE YOU ARE READY
AND FULL OF IDEAS TO MAKE A MAP
ALL OF YOUR OWN TODAY AT HOME.
MY NAME IS TEACHER JOEL
AND IT'S BEEN SO FUN,
I HOPE YOU HAVE
A GREAT TIME LEARNING,
AND I'LL SEE YOU NEXT TIME.
The caption changes to "TVO Kids would like to thank the following volunteer teacher for teaching the children of Ontario from their homes: James Bambury, Kenisha Bynoe, Spencer de Man, Joel Seaman, Kristy Tait Angel, Vickita Bhatt, Amanda Cameron, Arianna Lambert, Cameron Steltman and Robert Vidler."
(soft music plays)
A caption reads "Copyright 2020, The Ontario Educational Communications Authority."
An animated title against a sunny sky reads "TVOKids Power Hour of Learning."
In off, Laura says WELCOME TO
TVOKIDS
POWER HOUR OF LEARNING.
TODAY'S JUNIOR LESSON:
MAPS AND MEASUREMENT.
Joel is in his mid-twenties, with a short beard and black hair. He wears a gray shirt and earphones.
Joel says HI, STUDENTS, AND WELCOME
BACK TO ANOTHER EPISODE OF
TVOKIDS POWER HOUR OF LEARNING.
MY NAME IS TEACHER JOEL
AND I AM SO EXCITED
TO BE SPENDING TODAY WITH YOU,
DOING SOME LEARNING AT HOME.
FOR THE NEXT HOUR, WE'RE GOING
TO BE CHECKING OUT SOME AMAZING
SHOWS HERE ON TVO,
AND I'LL BE POPPING UP IN
BETWEEN TO TEACH
SOME LESSONS TO YOU
THAT WILL SHOW YOU HOW YOU CAN
CONTINUE THE LEARNING YOU SAW
IN THOSE EPISODES AT HOME
USING THINGS AROUND YOUR HOUSE.
NOW, BEFORE WE GET STARTED,
I'M GOING TO REMIND YOU.
MAKE SURE YOU'RE SITTING
IN A PLACE WHERE YOU'RE
COMFORTABLE AND FOCUSED.
TRY NOT TO GET TOO DISTRACTED,
MAKE SURE YOU'RE
LOOKING AND LISTENING,
'CAUSE THAT'S GOING TO MAKE
THE LEARNING THAT MUCH EASIER.
ALSO, FOR TODAY'S EPISODE
YOU'RE GOING TO NEED
A PENCIL OR A PEN,
SOMETHING YOU CAN WRITE WITH,
AND SOME PAPER YOU
CAN USE TO WRITE ON.
THAT'S GOING TO COME IN HANDY
WHEN THE LEARNING STARTS,
SO IF YOU DON'T HAVE THAT YET,
NOW WOULD BE THE PERFECT
CHANCE TO GO GRAB IT.
ALRIGHT, STUDENTS.
WE ARE READY TO GET STARTED WITH
THE LEARNING AND THE FUN
ON TODAY'S EPISODE.
He thumbs up.
He continues NOW, I HAVE TO TELL YOU THAT
ONE OF THE MOST EXCITING THINGS
ABOUT BEING A TEACHER HERE
ON
POWER HOUR OF LEARNING
IS THAT THIS SHOW IS ON TVO,
WHICH GOES TO STUDENTS
ALL ACROSS ONTARIO.
ONTARIO, AS YOU LIKELY KNOW,
IS THE PROVINCE THAT WE LIVE IN.
HERE'S A MAP OF ONTARIO
FOR YOU TO LOOK AT.
NOW, TAKE A LOOK AT THIS MAP,
AND THINK ABOUT
A FEW THINGS YOU NOTICE.
HAVE YOU SEEN A MAP BEFORE?
WE CAN USE MAPS TO
HELP US KNOW WHERE TO GO
AND TO UNDERSTAND
WHAT PLACES LOOK LIKE.
A close-up shot shows animals and buildings on the map.
He continues WE CAN SEE MAPS OF COUNTRIES.
HERE WE SEE A MAP OF A PROVINCE.
WE CAN HAVE MAPS OF OUR CITIES.
EVEN MAPS OF SUBWAYS.
YOU CAN EVEN MAKE A MAP
OF THE ROOMS IN YOUR HOUSE.
I'M GIVING YOU A LITTLE BIT OF
A CLUE OF SOME OF THE LEARNING
WE'RE GOING TO BE
DOING TOGETHER TODAY,
BUT BEFORE I GET
STARTED WITH THE LESSON,
LET'S TOGETHER LOOK AT
THIS EPISODE OF
LOOK KOOL
THAT'S GOING TO TELL US
ALL THE THINGS THAT WE NEED
TO KNOW ABOUT MAPS.
NOW, I'M GOING TO CHALLENGE YOU,
DURING THIS EPISODE,
USING THAT PAPER AND PENCIL
I ASKED YOU TO GET EARLIER,
I'M GOING TO ASK YOU TO
MAKE A LIST OF ALL THE THINGS
A MAP NEEDS, OKAY?
A MAP GIVES US
TONS OF INFORMATION
AS YOU ARE GOING TO
SEE IN THIS EPISODE,
BUT FOR A MAP
TO WORK REALLY WELL,
THERE'S CERTAIN
THINGS A MAP NEEDS.
DURING THIS EPISODE,
SEE IF YOU CAN MAKE A LIST
OF ALL THE THINGS YOU SEE
AND HEAR THAT A MAP NEEDS
AND I WILL SEE YOU AFTERWARDS.
A clip plays.
Hamza says EVER GET LOST?
WHICH WAY DO I GO?
IF YOU WERE A BIRD YOU
COULD SEE EXACTLY WHERE TO GO,
BUT THERE'S ANOTHER WAY
TO GET A BIRD'S EYE VIEW.
WITH A MAP! TO FIND OUT
HOW WE'LL SCARE A GARGOYLE.
(gasping)
MEET INVENTORS WHO MADE
AN APP TO FIND BATHROOMS.
Stefano cheers and says THAT APP WOULD HAVE HELPED ME.
Kids play kazoo.
Hamza says FORM A MARCHING BAND.
Stefano sings THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT
Hamza says AND GET ON KOOLKATT'S NERVES.
During a game, Hamza says HA! I WIN.
Cool Cat growls and Hamza laughs.
The theme music plays.
Hamza spins and puts on a pair of glasses. Through his glasses, we can see colourful 3D objects falling to an open field.
Cool Cat says MEOW!
A multicolored city builds up. The title of the show unfolds next to fireworks in the sky. It reads "Look Kook."
Hamza says LOOK!
Kids say KOOL!
Hamza and Cool Cat play a board game.
Hamza says THAT WAS A GOOD MOVE,
KOOLKATT!
(purring)
Hamza rolls a dice and says HAH! I WIN!
(growling)
KOOLKATT'S MAD BECAUSE
I WON THREE IN A ROW,
BUT FINDING MY WAY AROUND
THIS BOARD GAME'S EASY.
TO GET AROUND IN REAL LIFE,
I JUST USE MY SMART PHONE.
IT TELLS ME
EVERYTHING I NEED TO DO
INCLUDING
Speaking to the phone, he says GETTING TO
TODAY'S CHALLENGE LOCATION.
Breaking down, the phone says TO REACH YOUR DESTINATION
GO OUTSIDE, TURN LEFT,
WALK THREE KILOMETRES...
The phone does not work.
Hamza says UH-OH. UH-OH.
SO, TO FIND MY WAY I GUESS
I'LL BE USING A MAP INSTEAD.
An animation shows a pirate in an island looking at a map at night.
He finds a treasure and says AH!
A gust of wind blows him away.
(shouting)
Now, Hamza stands behind a table.
He taps on a animated map and says I'M HERE AND I WANT TO
VISIT MY FRIEND THIS WEEKEND
WHO LIVES HERE.
SEEMS LIKE IT'S PRETTY CLOSE.
LOOKS LIKE I COULD
EVEN WALK THERE.
HOW FAR IS THAT?
A Computer says 734 KILOMETRES.
Hamza says WHAT? BUT IT LOOKS SO CLOSE.
OH WELL.
WHAT ABOUT TODAY'S
CHALLENGE LOCATION?
A big animated map pops up in front of him.
Hamza says I'M HERE,
AND THE CHALLENGE LOCATION
IS ALL THE WAY OVER HERE.
THAT'S GONNA TAKE
FOREVER TO GET TO.
HOW FAR IS THAT?
The Computer says 8 BLOCKS.
Hamza says SAY WHAT?
HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT
A DISTANCE THIS LONG
IS CLOSER THAN
A DISTANCE THIS SMALL?
A caption reads "734 kilometers."
Hamza says OH, I KNOW WHAT I DID WRONG.
I FORGOT TO CHECK THE SCALE!
(music plays)
Hamza says SCALE IS A MEASUREMENT THAT
TELLS US HOW BIG OR SMALL THINGS
ON A MAP ARE IN REAL LIFE.
SO, FOR INSTANCE,
ON THIS MAP OF OUR SOLAR SYSTEM,
THE PLANET JUPITER IS
ABOUT THE SAME SIZE AS A PARK
ON THIS MAP OF A NEIGHBOURHOOD.
SO, MAPMAKERS DRAW A LITTLE
MEASUREMENT LINE CALLED SCALE
TO SHOW US HOW BIG OR SMALL
THINGS ARE IN REAL LIFE.
A LINE THIS BIG ON THIS
MAP EQUALS ONE KILOMETRE.
MOVE THE SAME LINE
OVER TO THIS MAP,
IT EQUALS MILLIONS
OF KILOMETRES.
The solar system appears. The caption changes to "245,340,720 kilometers."
Hamza says THERE'S OBVIOUSLY A LOT
MORE TO MAPS THAN I THOUGHT.
WE'D BETTER GET
THE INVESTIGATORS ON THE CASE.
(music plays)
A slate shows a magnifying glass coming out of Cool Cat. The slate reads "Investigation."
Hamza says HELLO, INTREPID INVESTIGATORS.
Han Ru and Stefano appear on a large screen in front of Hamza.
Han Ru says HEY!
Stefano says HEY, HAMZA!
Hamza says HERE'S A JOB THAT WILL
REALLY PUT YOU ON THE MAP.
FIND WHATEVER YOU CAN ABOUT HOW
PEOPLE USE MAPS TO GET AROUND.
The kids say OKAY.
Hamza says OUR INVESTIGATORS ARE IN
A PART OF TOWN WHERE LOTS OF
TOURISTS LIKE TO VISIT.
THEY OFTEN USE MAPS
TO FIND THEIR WAY AROUND.
Stefano says OKAY, SO.
HEY LOOK,
THAT LADY HAS A MAP.
Han Ru says CAN WE PLEASE TAKE
A PICTURE OF THAT MAP?
The Computer says MAP IDENTIFIED.
TOURIST WILL USE MAP TO
FIND HER DESTINATION.
The kids find an information board.
Han Ru says OKAY.
THERE IS A BIG
MAP OVER HERE.
Stefano says HEY, WHY WOULD
YOU LOOK AT THAT.
THE QUESTION MARK
REPRESENTS LOST, FOR EXAMPLE.
OR, WHERE ARE YOU.
LOST, QUESTION MARK.
OR-- OR DO YOU NOT
KNOW WHERE YOU ARE?
THE ANSWER IS...
A DETAILED
Han Ru says MAP.
Stefano says MAP.
Han Ru says SEE THESE BOATS? SEE?
THERE'S A LOT OF
BOATS RIGHT THERE.
Stefano says OH, HEY, IT'S TRUE!
THAT IS THE YACHT CLUB.
Han Ru says EXACTLY!
AND THAT'S THE PLAYGROUND
AND THIS IS THE PLAYGROUND.
SO, LIKE, WE'RE RIGHT HERE.
The Computer says IF YOU LOOK CAREFULLY AT A MAP,
YOU'LL SEE ALL KINDS OF ICONS
THAT REPRESENT REAL PLACES
LIKE PARKS, RESTAURANTS,
GROCERY STORES, MUSEUMS,
HOSPITALS OR, EVEN BETTER,
A BEACH OR A SWIMMING POOL
AND THERE ARE OTHER ICONS THAT
HELP US FIND OUR WAY AROUND.
Fast clips show traffic signs.
Han Ru says SO, YOU MEAN
STREET SIGNS, RIGHT?
Stefano says YEAH, PRETTY MUCH.
Han Ru says OKAY.
HEY, WHAT'S THAT FOR?
Stefano says WELL, A ROAD CROSSING
AND THERE'S A RAIL OR SOMETHING.
TRAIN CROSSING?
Stefano says OH, YEAH!
(horn honking)
Han Ru takes a picture.
The Computer says SIGN IDENTIFIED.
STOP SIGNS HAVE A SPECIAL SHAPE
AND THAT'S NOT AN ACCIDENT.
ACTUALLY,
IT'S TO PREVENT ACCIDENTS.
IN ANY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD,
EVEN IF YOU DON'T SPEAK
THE LANGUAGE, YOU'LL RECOGNIZE
THE SHAPE OF THIS EIGHT-SIDED
SIGN THAT ALWAYS MEANS STOP.
CAN YOU TELL
WHAT THESE ARE FOR?
NOT ALLOWED TO
STOP YOUR CAR HERE.
TRAIN CROSSING.
ON THIS STREET
DRIVE ONLY THIS WAY.
IN THIS LANE GO THIS WAY.
YOU CAN CROSS THE STREET HERE.
An animated street sign says OKAY.
Back in the studio, Hamza dance in circles.
Then, he says DO YOU KNOW WHO
USES LOTS OF MAPS?
DANCERS.
THEY USE A SPECIAL MAP KIND OF
MAP CALLED DANCE NOTATION TO
FIGURE OUT WHERE TO GO.
DANCERS USE A LOT OF MATH
BECAUSE WHEN YOU'RE DANCING
YOU'RE TURNING YOUR
BODY INTO A SHAPE.
YOU'RE MOVING THROUGH
SPACE ALL WHILE COUNTING
THE BEATS OF THE MUSIC.
FOR EXAMPLE,
ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR,
FIVE, SIX, SEVEN, AND EIGHT.
NO MATTER WHAT KIND OF MAP YOU
USE THEY'RE GOOD FOR TELLING YOU
WHERE YOU ARE
AND WHERE YOU'RE GOING.
In a clip, Hamza appears as a cowboy.
Hamza says ARE YOU READY BOOTS?
GET WALKING.
Breaking down, the Computer says YOUR DESTINATION'S...
Hamza says UH-OH, WHERE DO I GO?
He sings THESE BOOTS CAN'T
JUST START WALKING
THEY DON'T KNOW WHERE TO GO
WITHOUT A MAP
The Computer says TURN LEFT ONTO...
He sings I MIGHT END UP IN TOKYO
THESE BOOTS CAN'T
JUST START WALKING
I DON'T KNOW WHERE I AM
WITHOUT A MAP
The Computer says CONTINUE ONTO.
He sings I MIGHT FIND
I'M WALKING TO SIAM
(gong crashing)
THESE BOOTS CAN'T
JUST START WALKING
THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO
WITHOUT A MAP
He looks at his cell phone as he walks.
The Computer says TURN AROUND
AND GO AROUND IN CIRCLES.
He sings I'D END UP WITH
MONKEYS AT THE ZOO
(making monkey sounds)
A monkey eats a banana.
He says HEY, I MEAN IF YOU CAN'T
BEAT 'EM, JOIN 'EM, RIGHT?
The clip ends.
Hamza eats a banana and says MM.
IF YOU WANT TO
GO ACROSS THE WORLD,
YOU MIGHT WANT A 3D MAP,
LIKE A GLOBE.
I HAPPEN TO HAVE ONE OF
HISTORY'S GREATEST EXPERTS
ON THE GLOBE. PLEASE WELCOME
GARGOL THE GARGOYLE!
(clapping)
Gargol walks in. He wears a silver suit, wings and horns. He holds a bag.
Gargol says I DIDN'T DO IT! I DIDN'T DO IT!
Hamza says DO WHAT?
Gargol says WHATEVER YOU'RE ACCUSING ME OF.
Hamza says I JUST ASKED YOU HERE
TO TALK ABOUT MAPS.
Gargol says MAPS? NO, NO, NO. UH-UH. UH-UH.
THE LAST TIME I TALKED ABOUT
MAPS THE KING TURNED ME INTO
A GARGOYLE, WHICH IS
THIS KIND OF STONE STATUE.
Hamza says YEAH, I WAS GONNA ASK
ABOUT THE GARGOYLE THING.
WHAT DOES THAT
HAVE TO DO WITH MAPS?
Gargol says OH. WELL, ABOUT 600 YEARS AGO,
I TOLD BAD KING WENCESLAS THAT...
(muttering)
Hamza says HUH? WHAT DID YOU
SAY TO HIM? SORRY?
Gargol whispers THE WORLD IS ROUND.
(GASPING)
Hamza says OF COURSE THE WORLD IS ROUND.
Gargol says YOU KNOW THAT TOO?
HOW COME NO ONE TURNED
YOU INTO A GARGOYLE?
Hamza says TODAY EVERYONE KNOWS
THAT THE EARTH IS ROUND,
BUT I DID READ THAT PEOPLE
USED TO THINK IT WAS FLAT,
AND THEY EVEN MADE
FLAT EARTH MAPS.
Gargol says YEAH. LIKE BAD KING WENCESLAS,
HE SAID, "WELL, A MAP IS FLAT
SO THE EARTH MUST BE FLAT.
IF YOU SAIL OFF THE EDGE,
YOU'LL FALL RIGHT OFF."
Hamza says BUT YOU KNEW
BETTER THAN THE KING.
Scared, Gargol says ARE YOU TRYING TO
SET ME UP HERE?
HE SAID IF HE CAUGHT ME
TALKING ABOUT MAPS AGAIN
HE'D TURN ME INTO A CABBAGE!
Hamza says NO, NO, YOU'RE PERFECTLY
SAFE THESE DAYS.
IN FACT, ASTRONAUTS HAVE GONE
AROUND THE EARTH IN SPACESHIPS
AND TAKEN PICTURES
THAT SHOW IT'S ROUND.
(shutter clicking)
Gargol says ALL I HAD TO SHOW
BAD KING WENCESLAS
WAS THIS GLOBE THAT I MADE.
He takes a globe out of his bag and continues HE TOOK ONE LOOK AT IT AND SAID,
"WELL, THAT WOULD MEAN
THE PEOPLE AT THE BOTTOM OF
THE EARTH WOULD BE HANGING
UPSIDE DOWN LIKE BATS.
ARE YOU TRYING TO TELL ME
THAT THEY EAT WITH THEIR FEET
INSTEAD OF THEIR MOUTHS?
THAT THEY SWALLOW UP
INSTEAD OF DOWN?"
Hamza says AND THAT'S WHEN HE TURNED
YOU INTO A GARGOYLE?
Gargol says YEAH, PRETTY MUCH.
Hamza says HARSH.
I GUESS YOU HAVEN'T
BEEN KEEPING UP WITH
THE NEW KINDS OF MAPS THEN?
Gargol says ACTUALLY I HAVE.
ARE YOU SURE NO ONE'S WATCHING?
Hamza says WELL, LOTS OF PEOPLE
ARE WATCHING, BUT DON'T WORRY,
NO ONE'S GONNA TURN
YOU INTO A CABBAGE.
Gargol says IF YOU SAY SO.
I COLLECT MAPS.
He chuckles.
Hamza says HOW COME THERE'S SO
MANY DIFFERENT KINDS?
COULDN'T ANY MAP HELP
YOU GET WHERE YOU'RE GOING?
Gargol says MAPS DO A LOT MORE THAN THAT.
He unrolls a map and says THIS ONE SHOWS YOU
WHETHER A PLACE HAS MOUNTAINS
OR WHETHER AN AREA IS FLAT LAND.
Hamza says OH, SO I GUESS
THAT WOULD BE GREAT
IF YOU WERE WALKING SOMEWHERE.
YOU MIGHT WANT TO GO AROUND
THE MOUNTAINS AS OPPOSED
TO CLIMBING OVER THEM.
Gargol says EXACTLY, AND THIS ONE HERE SHOWS
YOU IF A PLACE IS HOT OR COLD.
YOU SEE THE RED IS HOT
AND THE BLUE IS COLD.
(chuckling)
Hamza says OH, SO, IF YOU WERE PLANNING
A TRIP YOU'D WANT TO KNOW
WHETHER TO PACK A PARKA
OR A BATHING SUIT.
Gargol says OH, I DON'T REALLY GET
TO TRAVEL THAT MUCH,
BUT YEAH,
THAT'S THE GENERAL IDEA.
(laughing)
Hamza says HEY, YOU WOULDN'T
HAPPEN TO KNOW HOW TO
FIX MY MAPS SOFTWARE, WOULD YOU?
Hamza hands his cell phone to Gargol.
Gargol says THIS IS A MAP?
Hamza says YEAH, I NEED IT TO GET TO
TODAY'S CHALLENGE LOCATION.
Gargol says I DON'T SEE ANY LINES
OR DRAWINGS ON THIS.
Hamza says NO, NO,
THE MAP SOFTWARE IS INSIDE.
Gargol says THAT'S CRAZY TALK.
Hamza says NO, NO,
THERE'S A MACHINE INSIDE THAT.
Gargol says I'M GONNA GET OUT OF HERE BEFORE
BAD KING WENCESLAS
TURNS US BOTH INTO CABBAGES.
Hamza says TURNS US INTO CABBAGES.
(laughing)
Hamza turns into a cabbage. Then, he appears holding one.
He says JUST KIDDING.
In the animation, the pirate is looking at a map.
He thumbs up and says ARGH!
A tornado takes him away.
The pirate says WHOA! WHOA! WHOA! WHOA!
A slate shows two Cool Cats running a race. The slate reads "Challenge."
Hamza and four kids play kazoos in a park.
Hamza says AND CUT!
YOU GUYS ARE
FEELING MUSICAL TODAY.
They kids say YEAH.
Hamza says CHECK THIS OUT.
He shows a video on a tablet.
A Girl says HEY, IT'S A MARCHING BAND.
Hamza says YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.
DO YOU EVER WONDER HOW
MARCHING BANDS KNOW WHERE TO GO
TO MAKE THEIR FORMATIONS?
WELL, THEY PRACTICE USING
A GRID WHICH IS A KIND OF MAP.
NOW, WOULDN'T IT BE COOL
TO KNOW HOW TO DO THAT?
The kids say YEAH.
Hamza says WELL, THAT'S EXACTLY
WHAT YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO DO.
YOU'RE GONNA COMPETE TO SEE WHO
CAN MAKE THE BEST FORMATIONS
USING JUST A GRID.
A LOT OF MAPS HAVE GRIDS,
WHICH ARE THE SQUARE BOXES.
WE USE GRIDS TO HELP
FIND PLACES ON A MAP.
An animated world map appears with letters on the horizontal axis and numbers on the vertical axis.
He continues ON THIS GRID YOU CAN
FIND ENGLAND WHERE THE C
AND THE FOUR MEET.
I THINK THE MIND'S EYEGLASSES
CAN HELP US GET OUR GRID SET UP.
The girl in the Blue Team says COOL.
Hamza says LET'S GO.
The Computer says ACTIVATION. SHOWING A GRID
FOR A MARCHING BAND.
NUMBERS ON THE BOTTOM,
LETTERS ON THE SIDE.
YOU GO UP OR DOWN TO THE LETTER
AND LEFT OR RIGHT TO THE NUMBER
THAT TELLS YOU WHERE TO MARCH.
FOR EXAMPLE, 1-A IS HERE.
4-C IS HERE.
3-D IS HERE.
Hamza sprays a gird on the grass.
Hamza says OKAY, WE'RE ALL SET HERE.
I'M GONNA GIVE ONE MEMBER FROM
EACH TEAM A SET OF DIRECTIONS
TO SING OUT EVERY
TIME I BLOW MY WHISTLE.
THE OTHER MEMBER OF THE TEAM HAS
TO DO WHAT THE DIRECTIONS SAY.
GOT IT?
The kids say YEAH!
Hamza says ALRIGHT, BOTH TEAMS ARE
GOING TO BE DOING THIS CHALLENGE
AT THE SAME SO TRY TO KEEP UP.
GIVE THE FIRST DIRECTION.
(whistle blowing)
Boy 1 says GO TO D-1.
Girl 1 says GO TO D-4.
They sing PUT YOUR LEFT LEG IN,
THEN YOUR RIGHT LEG OUT
Girl 1 says GO TO C-3.
Boy 1 says GO TO C-2 AND...
They sing YOU PUT YOUR RIGHT LEG IN,
THEN YOU SHAKE IT ALL ABOUT
(whistle blowing)
Boy 1 says GO TO B-1.
Girl 1 says B-4.
They sing AND DO THE HOKEY POKEY
AND YOU TURN YOURSELF AROUND
(whistle blowing)
Hamza says LAST DIRECTION.
Girl 1 says GO TO A-3.
Boy 1 says GO TO A-2 AND TAKE A BOW.
Girl 1 says AND TAKE A BOW.
They sing THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT
(whistle blowing)
Hamza says BRING IT IN, GUYS.
ALRIGHT, GREAT JOB, BUT DO
YOU THINK YOU COULD DO IT NOW
FROM MEMORY ALONE?
The kids say WHAT?
REALLY?
MEMORY ALONE?
THAT'S HARD.
Hamza says WITHOUT YOUR PARTNER
TELLING YOU WHAT TO DO?
CAN OUR CHALLENGERS
NAVIGATE THE MAP FROM MEMORY
OR WILL THEY FALL
FLAT ON THEIR FACES?
WE'LL FIND OUT IN A MINUTE,
BUT BEFORE WE GO ANY FURTHER,
IT'S TIME TO DO A HANDS-ON.
A slate shows a toast popping out of Cool Cat. The toast reads "Hands-on" and has dog footprints on it.
Hamza says HAN RU AND STEFANO, IN TODAY'S
HANDS-ON YOU HAVE TO FIGURE OUT
HOW TO USE A MAP TO
GET AROUND ON THE SUBWAY.
AND YU CHEN HOU AND STEVE KONG
ARE GUYS WHO REALLY KNOW MAPS.
THEY EVEN CREATED A POPULAR
MAP APP THAT HELPS YOU FIND
WATER FOUNTAINS AND BATHROOMS.
Stefano and Han Ru stand next to Yu Chen Hou and Steve Kong behind a table next to a river.
Wearing glasses, Yu says THE NAME OF THE APPLICATION
IS CALLED TAKE A BREAK.
Yu shows them a map on a tablet.
In his twenties, Steve says SO HERE YOU CAN SEE A MAP
AND WE CAN SEE, LIKE,
NEARBY BATHROOMS
AND WATER FOUNTAINS.
SO, YOU CAN SEE
THERE'S ONE HERE.
THERE'S ONE THERE.
SO, IF EVER YOU NEED
TO GO THE BATHROOM,
YOU JUST NEED TO OPEN THE APP
AND IT'LL TELL YOU HOW
TO GET TO THESE PLACES.
Stefano and Han Ru say COOL.
Yu says PRETTY COOL, EH?
Yu says DO YOU GUYS WANNA DO A HANDS-ON?
Han Ru says SURE!
Stefano says OKAY, SURE.
Yu says HERE WE HAVE A MAP OF
THE NEW YORK CITY
SUBWAY STATIONS.
LET'S SAY WE'RE STARTING
OFF AT THE AIRPORT
AND WE WANT TO GET
ALL THE WAY TO THE PARK.
SO, IT LOOKS LIKE YOU GUYS WILL
NEED TO TAKE A FEW TRANSFERS
TO GET WHERE YOU WANT TO GO.
DO YOU KNOW HOW
TRANSFER STATIONS WORK?
Han Ru says YEAH.
Stefano says YOU USE A TRANSFER STATION
WHEN YOU WANT TO CHANGE LINES.
Yu says EXACTLY.
SO, DO YOU GUYS KNOW HOW
YOU WOULD PLAN TO GET FROM
THE AIRPORT ALL
THE WAY TO THE PARK?
Han Ru says MAYBE WE COULD TAKE THE ORANGE.
DOWN HERE.
OKAY LET'S KEEP ON GOING.
UP TO HERE.
THEN WE'RE GONNA
GET TO THE RED LINE.
SO, LET'S GO ON
THE BLUE AND THEN RED.
RIGHT TO THE PARK!
A blue animated line highlights the route on the map.
Yu says ALRIGHT. AWESOME WORK, GUYS.
Yu says SO, IT SEEMS YOU GUYS ARE
TRANSFERRING HERE AND THERE
BUT THESE TWO STATIONS
ARE CLOSED TODAY.
SO WE CAN'T TAKE THEM.
Stefano says OH NO, THAT'S BAD NEWS.
Steve says CAN YOU GUYS FIND A NEW ROUTE?
Han Ru says YEAH.
GO ALL THE WAY ON THE BLUE.
DOWN, ALL THE WAY, RIGHT?
Stefano says UM, YEAH, EXACTLY. SO, NOW
YOU'RE GONNA STILL CONTINUE.
YOU'RE GONNA GO LEFT INSTEAD,
ALL THE WAY.
AND THEN WE CONTINUE.
Han Ru says YEAH.
Steve says OH, COOL. GREAT JOB, GUYS.
YOU FOUND ANOTHER ROUTE.
SO, THIS IS SOMETHING WE
DO A LOT IN MATHEMATICS.
IT'S SOMETHING WE
CALL OPTIMIZATION.
IT'S THAT WE WANT TO
FIND THE EASIEST WAY,
THE FASTEST WAY
TO GET SOMEWHERE.
IT HELPS COMPANIES
AND PEOPLE SAVE ENERGY.
Yu says SAVE GAS. SAVE A LOT OF
MONEY IN THE LONG RUN.
Stefano says HEY, COOL. THAT'S INTERESTING.
Yu says YEAH.
Hamza looks at them on a big screen.
He says HEY, GUYS. TELL ME WHAT YOUR
INVESTIGATION UNCOVERED.
Han Ru says WELL, HE SHOWED US THE APP
THAT WE CAN YOU USE TO FIND
A BATHROOM EVERYWHERE,
SO THAT WOULD BE WAY EASIER TO
FIND A BATHROOM.
Stefano says YEAH, THE THING THAT I FOUND
THE COOLEST ABOUT IT IS THAT
WHEN WE DID OUR LITTLE HANDS-ON
HERE WITH THE METRO STATION
IS THAT WE ACTUALLY USED
MATH TO FIND ANOTHER SOLUTION.
Hamza says AWESOME.
THANKS, EVERYONE.
The kids say BYE.
In the animation, the pirate travels in a subway. He gets out to get the treasure.
He says AH!
(grunting)
Men coming into the subway stop him from getting out. The subway leaves.
He says ARGH!
Hamza says OUR CHALLENGERS FIGURED
OUT HOW TO NAVIGATE A GRID
THE SAME WAY MARCHING BANDS DO,
WITH INSTRUCTIONS
FROM THEIR PARTNERS.
NOW, WHICH TEAM CAN DO
THE MOVES FROM MEMORY ALONE?
AND TO MAKE IT
EVEN MORE MUSICAL,
YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO PLAY
THE HOKEY POKEY ON YOUR KAZOO
WHILE YOU MARCH TOGETHER.
ARE YOU READY FOR THIS?
The teams say YEAH.
Hamza says YOU READY FOR THIS?
The teams say YEAH!
Hamza says WELL, LET'S DO THIS THEN!
(blowing whistle)
The teams play hokey pokey as they move around the grid.
Hamza says NOW, AS WE CAN SEE,
THE DIRECTIONS THAT TEAM YELLOW
WERE GIVEN WERE THE REVERSE
OF WHAT TEAM BLUE WERE GIVEN...
BUT THERE'S A POINT WHERE TEAM
BLUE WAS SUPPOSED TO COME DOWN
TO C-2 BUT ACCIDENTALLY
STEPPED INTO B-2
AND THAT RESULTS IN
TEAM YELLOW BEING THE WINNERS.
Team Yellow says YES!
Hamza says AND TO START YOUR BRIGHT FUTURES
IN THE MARCHING BAND WORLD
YOU ALL GET TO KEEP YOUR KAZOOS.
They yell YEAH!
Hamza says ALRIGHT, LET'S GO.
(playing hokey pokey)
A slate shows a puzzle of Cool Cat. Then, gears appear inside the black shape of a cat head. The slate reads "Brain Bender."
Charles and William sit in a living room.
They say HI!
Hamza says CHARLES AND WILLIAM,
TODAY YOUR BRAIN BENDER IS
AN EXTRA TRICKY
MAP CALLED A MAZE.
YOUR CHALLENGE IS TO
DRAW A PATH THAT
TOUCHES EVERY DOT ONLY
ONCE.
(buzzing)
AND YOU MUST END UP
BACK WHERE YOU STARTED.
GO!
Charles draws a line in a maze map.
William says OKAY.
START HERE.
GO HERE.
AND GO IN HERE.
William says NO. WE STILL HAVE TO GET.
Charles says NO, NO, NO, NO.
TRUST ME. IN HERE.
William says BUT THEN WE STILL HAVE TO...
Charles says NO, NO. GO AT THAT AFTER.
GO IN HERE. YES.
William says BUT LOOK, WE SHOULD
JUST GO LIKE THAT.
Charles says BUT THEN HOW DO YOU GET BACK?
William says YOU CUT IN.
BACK AROUND.
Charles says OKAY.
NOW, HOW DO YOU GET
BACK TO WHERE YOU STARTED?
William says OH, YOU HAVE TO GET
BACK TO WHERE YOU STARTED.
Hamza says THAT'S RIGHT. IT'S TOO
EASY IF YOU DON'T HAVE TO.
Charles says COULD I DO IT THIS TIME?
William says SURE, YEAH.
Hamza says HM, WILLIAM SEEMS TO
KNOW WHAT PATH TO TAKE.
(pinging)
A green tick appears.
Hamza says THAT'S IT. GREAT JOB!
NOW, CHARLES YOU GET
ANOTHER CRACK AT IT,
BUT YOU'VE GOT TO FIND
A DIFFERENT WAY TO DO IT.
William says I GUESS I'LL START HERE.
NO.
Another green tick appears.
Hamza says YOU GOT IT.
William says YAY!
Now, holding a globe, Hamza says I WONDER HOW YOU'D MAKE
A MAP OF THE PLANET EARTH.
A slate shows Cool Cat breaking into pieces and coming into one again. The slate reads "Deconstruct."
Hamza says DECONSTRUCT EARTH!
(rumbling, clattering)
NOT THE REAL EARTH,
JUST THE GLOBE!
The globe appears in a 3D version.
Hamza says WHOA!
WHEN YOU TAKE A 3D GLOBE
AND TRY TO TURN
IT INTO A 2D MAP,
EITHER THE SHAPE OF
THE MAP HAS TO CHANGE,
OR THE SHAPE OF THE OCEANS
AND LAND HAS TO CHANGE.
A caption reads "Mercator projection."
An animated world map appears.
He continues THAT'S WHY ON REGULAR FLAT
MAPS THE SHAPE AND SIZE OF
COUNTRIES AREN'T EXACT.
FOR EXAMPLE, GREENLAND LOOKS
AS BIG AS AFRICA ON THIS MAP
BUT IT'S ACTUALLY
FOURTEEN TIMES SMALLER.
A GLOBE IS THE BEST KIND OF MAP
FOR LOOKING AT THE WHOLE WORLD
BECAUSE IT'S THE RIGHT SHAPE.
In the animation, the pirate sits by a bonfire.
(wind blowing)
The pirate says ARGH!
The wind blows him away placing him near the treasure.
He says AH!
He takes two other maps out of the treasure chest.
Happy, he says ARGH!
(laughing)
Hamza plays hokey pokey.
Then, he says DID YOU KNOW THAT SOME
EXPERTS THINK LISTENING TO
MUSIC HELPS YOU
BE BETTER AT MATH?
I'M GONNA START LISTENING TO
A LOT MORE MUSIC RIGHT AWAY.
HOW DO I GET TO
THE SYMPHONY HALL?
The cell phone says PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE.
Hamza says EVERYONE'S A COMEDIAN.
The cell phone says DO YOU HAVE
A PROBLEM WITH THAT?
Hamza says FORTUNATELY, I DON'T NEED TO
COUNT ON MY PHONE ALL THE TIME.
THERE'S SO MANY DIFFERENT
KINDS OF MAPS TO HELP ME OUT.
THERE ARE MAPS FOR
THE BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN
OR FOR THE TOP OF A MOUNTAIN.
MAPS CAN SHOW YOU YOUR WHOLE
HOUSE OR THE WHOLE SOLAR SYSTEM.
IN FACT, THERE ARE MAPS
FOR ALMOST ANYTHING.
MAYBE SOMEDAY, YOU'LL USE
A MAP LIKE THIS TO HELP YOU GET
TO OTHER PLANETS LIKE MARS.
The cell phone says DESTINATION MARS.
BLAST OFF IN ROCKET.
TRAVEL 225 MILLION KILOMETRES.
DESTINATION IS ON YOUR RIGHT.
Hamza says OH, SURE, NOW YOU'RE WORKING.
COULD YOU TELL ME HOW TO
GET TO MY GRANDMA'S HOUSE?
The cell phone says BLAST OFF IN ROCKET.
TRAVEL 225 MILLION KILOMETRES.
DESTINATION IS ON YOUR RIGHT.
Hamza says I REALLY GOTTA GET THIS FIXED.
SEE YOU NEXT TIME
FOR MORE
LOOK KOOL!
The theme music plays.
The end credits roll next to shots of the show.
Gargol says I DIDN'T DO IT! I DIDN'T DO IT!
Joel waves and says AND WE'RE BACK!
I HOPE YOU ENJOYED THAT EPISODE,
AND I HOPE IT GAVE YOU LOTS OF
IDEAS ABOUT THINGS A MAP NEEDS,
BECAUSE TOGETHER TODAY
WE ARE GOING TO BE
MAKING MAPS OF OUR OWN.
I WANT YOU TO THINK OF
A ROOM IN YOUR HOUSE
AND YOU'RE GOING TO
DRAW A MAP OF IT.
NOW, BEFORE WE GET STARTED,
SOME OF THE THINGS I HEARD IN
THAT EPISODE THAT
A MAP NEEDS ARE A SCALE.
SO, REMEMBER, A SCALE HELPS US
DECIDE HOW BIG ALL THE PARTS OF
OUR MAP IS GOING TO BE, OKAY?
WE USE A LOT OF CAREFUL
MEASUREMENT WITH MAPS TO
MAKE SURE THAT WHAT WE'RE
REPRESENTING ON THE PAPER
IS ACCURATE TO THE SIZE
OF WHAT WE'RE DRAWING.
ANOTHER THING THAT
A MAP NEEDS IS A LEGEND.
SO, REMEMBER FROM THAT EPISODE,
A LEGEND ARE LITTLE ICONS
OR SYMBOLS ON YOUR MAP THAT
REPRESENT THINGS IN REAL LIFE.
AND SOMETIMES, BUT NOT ALWAYS,
A MAP MIGHT HAVE A GRID ON IT.
THOSE ARE THE LINES THAT
GO UP AND DOWN AND ACROSS,
AND THEY CAN BE
ASSIGNED LETTERS AND NUMBERS
AND THEY CAN HELP US
FIND LOCATIONS ON THAT MAP
A LITTLE BIT QUICKER.
NOW, THINKING ABOUT
ALL THOSE THINGS,
WE ARE GOING TO
MAKE A MAP TOGETHER.
NOW, I WANT TO
TELL YOU RIGHT AWAY.
DRAWING A MAP IS
A PRETTY BIG JOB.
IT'S A LOT OF FUN,
BUT THERE'S LOTS OF STEPS THAT
GO INTO IT AND IT'S SO IMPORTANT
THAT YOU TAKE YOUR TIME
WORKING SLOWLY AND CAREFULLY.
SO, YOU'RE ACTUALLY NOT GOING
TO DRAW YOUR MAP RIGHT NOW.
I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU A MAP
I STARTED AND I'M GOING TO TALK
YOU THROUGH SOME OF THE STEPS
THAT YOU WANT TO FOLLOW FOR
MAKING YOUR MAP AT HOME,
BUT THIS JOB, DRAWING A MAP,
IS SOMETHING YOU'RE GOING
TO DO WHEN THE EPISODE IS OVER.
YOU MIGHT SPEND THE REST
OF THE DAY WORKING ON IT,
YOU MIGHT DO
A LITTLE BIT EVERY DAY.
IT MIGHT TAKE
YOU ALL WEEK, OKAY?
BUT IT'S A SUPER FUN JOB,
AND IF YOU LIKE IT,
YOU MIGHT START DRAWING MAPS
OF EVERY ROOM IN YOUR HOUSE.
I WONDER IF ANY OF US COULD
DRAW A MAP OF OUR ENTIRE HOUSE.
NOW, I'VE STARTED
WITH JUST ONE ROOM.
AS YOU CAN SEE HERE
WITH MY TITLE,
THIS IS THE MAP OF MY KITCHEN.
NOW, TAKE A LOOK.
IS IT FINISHED?
He shows a blue piece of water with a rectangle.
He continues NO, I'VE GOTTEN STARTED.
SO, STEP ONE, YOU'RE GOING
TO WANT TO THINK ABOUT
IS A TITLE, OKAY? IF I DON'T
WRITE WHAT THIS MAP IS,
NO ONE WILL KNOW.
SO, YOUR MAP
NEEDS A TITLE, OKAY?
A TERM THAT WE HEARD IN THAT
EPISODE IS, "A BIRD'S EYE VIEW."
SO, REMEMBER, IT'S LIKE A BIRD
WAY UP HIGH IS LOOKING DOWN AT
THE ROOM YOU'RE GOING
TO DRAW FROM ABOVE,
AND YOU'RE GOING TO THINK
ABOUT THE SHAPE IT IS, OKAY?
YOU CAN SEE I LIVE IN
A CONDO IN DOWNTOWN TORONTO,
WHICH MEANS MY
KITCHEN ISN'T VERY BIG,
AND IT IS KIND OF LIKE
A LONG SKINNY RECTANGLE, OKAY?
SO, ADD A TITLE,
AND THEN THINK ABOUT
A BIRD'S EYE VIEW, OKAY?
DOING THE SHAPE OF
THIS ROOM FROM ABOVE.
NOW, BEFORE YOU DO THE SHAPE,
YOU'RE GOING TO THINK
ABOUT THE SCALE, OKAY?
SO, WHEN I DREW THIS SCALE,
THE FIRST THING I DID WAS
MEASURE MY KITCHEN USING
MY HANDS.
MAYBE YOU'VE DONE
THAT AT SCHOOL BEFORE,
AND I FOUND OUT THAT
MY KITCHEN WAS 12 HANDS LONG.
NOW, IF I TRY TO DRAW SOMETHING
THAT'S AS LONG AS 12 HANDS
ON THIS PAPER,
IT'S NOT GOING TO FIT.
SO, I USED THE SCALE.
EVERY TWO CENTIMETERS IN
THIS LINE REPRESENTS ONE HAND,
AND YOU CAN SEE THAT WRITTEN
UP HERE AT THE TOP, OKAY?
AGAIN, IF I DON'T SAY THAT,
THE PERSON WHO'S LOOKING AT
THIS MAP WON'T UNDERSTAND
HOW BIG MY KITCHEN IS.
SO, USING A MEASURING TAPE
OR A RULER,
YOU'RE CAREFULLY GOING TO
MAKE SURE THAT YOUR LINE IS
THE RIGHT SIZE.
SO, I TOLD YOU MY
KITCHEN WAS 12 HANDS LONG.
IF EVERY HAND
IS TWO CENTIMETERS,
I MADE SURE THIS LINE
IS 24 CENTIMETERS.
ALRIGHT, YOU CAN SEE
I'VE ALSO STARTED A LEGEND,
BUT THERE'S NOTHING ON IT YET.
MY MAP ISN'T FINISHED.
I'D JUST DONE THE OUTLINE, OKAY?
MY KITCHEN HAPPENS
TO BE A RECTANGLE,
BUT MAYBE SOME OF THE ROOMS
WHERE YOU LIVE AREN'T ALWAYS
PERFECT SHAPES LIKE THIS.
SO, THIS JOB MIGHT
TAKE A WHILE, OKAY?
BUT YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT
THE OUTLINE OF YOUR ROOM IS
READY TO GO BEFORE YOU START
ADDING THINGS IN YOUR LEGEND.
THE FIRST THING
I'M GOING TO ADD INTO MY MAP
IS A DOOR, OKAY?
IN MY KITCHEN,
I HAVE A DOOR IN THAT CORNER.
NOW, I'M GOING TO
GO OVER TO MY LEGEND,
AND I'M GOING TO LET THE PERSON
WHO'S LOOKING AT MY MAP
KNOW THAT THAT
SYMBOL MEANS DOOR, OKAY?
I DON'T HAVE TO WRITE DOOR,
I DON'T HAVE TO DRAW AN ACTUAL
DOOR WITH THE DOOR HANDLE.
THIS KIND OF
OPENING SYMBOL I DID
MEANS DOOR, OKAY?
THE NEXT THING
I'M GOING TO ADD IS...
SEE IF YOU CAN THINK
ABOUT WHAT IT MIGHT BE.
MY OVEN, OKAY? MY OVEN
IS IN THIS CORNER, RIGHT?
IF THERE'S A BIRD'S EYE VIEW,
A BIRD LOOKING DOWN,
IT'S IN THAT CORNER,
AND I DREW KIND OF WHAT THE TOP
OF IT IS WHAT
IT LOOKS LIKE, OKAY?
AGAIN, I HAVE TO
ADD THAT TO MY LEGEND.
SO, WE KNOW THAT THIS
SYMBOL ON THE MAP MEANS OVEN.
SO, ONCE YOU'VE DRAWN
THE OUTLINE OF YOUR ROOM FROM
A BIRD'S EYE VIEW,
THINKING OF COURSE, ABOUT SCALE,
YOU'RE GOING TO START FILLING IN
ALL THE THINGS INSIDE THAT ROOM.
THE FURNITURE,
THE DOORS, THE WINDOWS, OKAY?
AND YOU'RE GOING TO ADD
ALL OF THAT TO YOUR LEGEND.
NOW, I'M GOING TO PAUSE THERE,
BECAUSE THIS IS A BIG
LEARNING JOB, AND WE MIGHT NEED
TO GET UP AND MOVE OUR BODIES.
SO, ALL TOGETHER
LET'S TAKE A HEALTH BREAK
BEFORE WE CONTINUE THE LEARNING.
A clip plays.
(hip hop beat playing)
Out of a shiny light, Mickeey pops up in a TV studio with graffiti on the walls. He is in his early teens, with short black hair. He wears a red and black jacket, blue jeans and a gray T-shirt.
Mickeey says YO, WHAT'S UP?
WHAT'S GOING ON, MOVERS?
TODAY WE'RE GOING TO
BE LEARNING ONE OF
THE TASTIEST DANCES OF ALL TIME.
SAY HELLO TO THE VEGGIE PULL.
HEY!
YOU'RE GOING TO TAKE A STEP TO
THE SIDE AND A SIDE AND A SIDE.
THEN YOUR LAST MOVE YOU'RE
GOING TO KICK IT UP THEN DOWN.
ONE MORE TIME.
SIDE AND SIDE AND SIDE.
KICK IT UP AND DOWN,
AND SIDE AND SIDE AND SIDE.
KICK IT UP AND DOWN.
YOU GUYS KNOW WHAT
THE FEET ARE DOING.
LET'S CHECK IN WITH THE HANDS.
TAKE YOUR BASKET
AND GATHER YOUR VEGGIES,
AND VEGGIES, WRAP YOUR
ARMS AROUND YOUR BASKET,
THEN PULL. ONE MORE TIME.
GRAB YOUR VEGGIES,
GRAB YOUR VEGGIES,
BASKET, AND PULL.
YOU GUYS JUST LEARNED
THE VEGGIE PULL WITH
THE HANDS AND FEET TOGETHER.
MUSIC AND FRIENDS?
FIVE, SIX, SEVEN.
Daniel and Kara join him and they all dance.
Mickeey says GRAB YOUR VEGGIES,
HIP, HIP, AND CIRCLE ARMS.
HAH, AND KEEP IT GOING GUYS.
HERE WE GO. WHOO!
LAST TIME GUYS. HAH!
NICE! WHOO!
GUESS WHAT, GUYS?
YOU JUST MOVED WITH MICKEEY.
SEE YA!
The clip ends.
Joel says AND WE'RE BACK AND READY FOR
SOME MORE LEARNING AND FUN.
NOW, I'VE STARTED
MY MAP OF MY KITCHEN.
AS YOU CAN SEE I'M NOT FINISHED.
I TOLD YOU EARLIER IN THIS
EPISODE, THIS IS A BIG JOB.
YOU WANT TO GO SLOW AND CAREFUL.
STEP BY STEP.
WE'RE GOING TO TALK QUICKLY
ABOUT THE SCALE, OKAY?
I TOLD YOU EARLIER,
I MEASURED MY KITCHEN
USING MY HAND,
BUT I MEASURED THIS
LINE USING CENTIMETRES.
THERE'S SO MANY WAYS
WE CAN MEASURE THINGS,
AND THEY FALL
INTO TWO CATEGORIES.
THE FIRST CATEGORY FOR
MEASUREMENTS IS WHAT WE CALL
STANDARD UNITS OF MEASUREMENT,
OKAY?
YOU CAN SEE THAT UP
THERE AT THE TOP OF MY
WHITE BOARD, OKAY?
ONE TYPE OF A STANDARD UNIT
OF MEASUREMENT IS WHAT WE
CALL THE CENTIMETRE, OKAY?
I'VE DRAWN A LINE THERE.
THAT'S ABOUT
ONE CENTIMETRE LONG, OKAY?
IT'S NOT SUPER BIG,
BUT WHEN YOU'RE MEASURING,
YOU CAN ALSO USE A STANDARD
UNIT OF MEASUREMENT
CALLED A METRE.
NOW, A METRE IS
A CENTIMETRE 100 TIMES.
NOW, IF YOU AT HOME ARE
GOING TO USE STANDARD UNITS
OF MEASUREMENT,
THAT MEANS YOU'RE GOING TO USE
A MEASUREMENT TOOL LIKE A RULER
OR MAYBE EVEN A TAPE MEASURE.
SO, I HAD THIS
TAPE MEASURE AT HOME,
AND I CAN USE THIS TO MEASURE
A STANDARD UNIT OF MEASUREMENT.
AT THE BOTTOM THERE
ARE THE CENTIMETRES.
IF YOU'RE USING A RULER,
TAKE A CLOSE LOOK AT IT.
MOST RULERS ARE
30 CENTIMETRES LONG,
BUT SOME ARE LONGER.
SO, LOOK CLOSELY TO SEE HOW MANY
CENTIMETRES ARE ON THAT RULER.
NOW, WHEN YOU'RE DOING
YOUR MAP AT HOME,
YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE A RULER
AND YOU MIGHT NOT
HAVE A MEASURING TAPE,
AND THAT'S TOTALLY OKAY,
BECAUSE THOSE ARE ONLY
TWO TOOLS FOR MEASURING,
AND WE HAVE SOME OTHER TOOLS
WE CAN USE FOR MEASURING,
AND THEY FALL UNDER
THE SECOND CATEGORY.
WE CALL THIS NON-STANDARD
UNITS OF MEASUREMENT, OKAY?
SO, IT'S NOT A CENTIMETRE,
IT'S NOT A METRE.
WE CAN ACTUALLY
MEASURE WITH OUR HANDS,
WITH OUR FEET,
WE COULD MEASURE WITH BOOK,
WE COULD MEASURE
WITH WATER BOTTLES,
WE COULD MEASURE
WITH MARKERS, OKAY?
THESE ARE JUST SOME IDEAS, OKAY?
BUT WE DON'T ALWAYS HAVE TO
USE CENTIMETRES AND METRES.
IT CAN BE USEFUL,
BUT WE CAN ALSO MEASURE USING
NON-STANDARD UNITS.
NOW, IF YOU'RE GOING
TO BE MEASURING USING
NON-STANDARD UNITS,
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING
I'M GOING TO TELL YOU IS TO MAKE
SURE THAT WHEN YOU'RE MEASURING
HOW MANY MARKERS
LONG YOUR ROOM IS,
YOU MAKE SURE THAT
THEY LINE UP LIKE THIS
WHEN YOU'RE MEASURING.
He joins the two markers at one end.
He continues YOU DON'T WANT TO LEAVE
GAPS IN BETWEEN, OKAY?
AND I WANT TO SHOW YOU WHY.
IF I'M MEASURING THE HEIGHT
OF THIS PAPER I'M HOLDING UP
USING MARKERS
AND I PUT ONE MARKER HERE, OKAY?
SO, SO FAR IT'S ONE MARKER,
AND THEN I DO ANOTHER ONE.
I'M GOING TO HOLD
THIS UP LIKE THAT.
OKAY, WE GOT ONE MARKER,
AND OKAY, YUP.
IT'S ABOUT TWO MARKERS TALL.
DO YOU NOTICE
THERE'S A GAP HERE?
IT'S ACTUALLY NOT
TWO MARKERS TALL.
LOOK AT TWO MARKERS
AND LOOK AT MY PAPER.
THEY'RE NOT THE SAME SIZE, OKAY?
The paper is bigger than the two markers together.
He continues SO, IT'S SO IMPORTANT
THAT WHEN YOU'RE USING
A NON-STANDARD UNIT, OKAY?
YOU MAKE SURE IT LINES UP
PERFECTLY WITH THE LAST ONE.
THERE'S NO GAPS, OKAY?
THEN I WOULD KEEP GOING.
IT'S ABOUT TWO MARKERS
AND ONE LID, OKAY?
SAME GOES FOR USING YOUR HANDS
AND USING YOUR FEET, OKAY?
YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE
THEY LINE UP PERFECTLY.
DON'T LEAVE A GAP, ALRIGHT?
THIS IS TONS OF INFORMATION
ABOUT MEASURING WITH
STANDARD UNITS
AND NON-STANDARD UNITS,
AND WE HAVE AN EPISODE OF
ODD SQUAD
WE CAN CHECK OUT
TOGETHER NOW THAT'S GOING TO
GIVE US EVEN MORE INFORMATION.
A clip plays.
Olive wears a dark blue Odd Squad uniform. She has combed side-parted brown hair.
Olive says MY NAME IS AGENT OLIVE.
THIS IS MY PARTNER, AGENT OTTO.
A picture of Oto appears. He has black hair and bangs.
She continues THIS IS THE ODD SQUAD
BATHROOM KEY,
BUT BACK TO OTTO AND ME.
WE WORK FOR
AN ORGANISATION RUN BY KIDS
THAT INVESTIGATES
ANYTHING STRANGE, WEIRD,
AND ESPECIALLY ODD.
OUR JOB IS TO PUT
THINGS RIGHT AGAIN.
(shouting)
(whinnying)
(zapping)
Fast clips show the agents' adventures.
A puppet agent runs and says COME ON! COME ON!
Olive says WHO DO WE WORK FOR?
WE WORK FOR ODD SQUAD.
A file reads "Rise of the Hydraclops."
Olive and Otto stand next to a man in his kitchen. He is wearing pijamas.
The man says THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING,
ODD SQUAD.
Olive says WHAT SEEMS TO BE
THE PROBLEM, SIR?
The man says SO, I'M SITTING HERE TRYING
TO CATCH UP ON A BUNCH OF WORK,
BUT EVERY TIME
I CLICK THIS PEN...
IT'S EASIER IF I JUST SHOW YOU.
He clicks the pen and they appear on the street.
The agents say WHOA!
The man says IT JUST KEEPS GOING.
Now, they appear in a yard.
The agents say WHOA!
The man says AND WATCH.
They appear in a plane.
The agents say WHOA!
The man says I KNOW!
Otto says QUESTION, HOW DID YOU
START AT YOUR HOUSE?
The man says THAT WASN'T EVEN MY HOUSE.
I HAVEN'T BEEN
HOME FOR SIX WEEKS.
Olive says NOT TO WORRY, SIR.
WE HAVE A FIX.
DON'T USE THIS PEN ANY MORE.
The man says OH, YEAH.
Olive says USE ONE OF OURS.
The man says OH!
THANKS, ODD SQUAD.
Otto says HAVE A GREAT DAY.
The man says WAIT, WHERE AM I FLYING TO?
A man in a suit says WE'RE GOING TO BOSTON.
The man says OH, I'VE GOT FAMILY THERE.
Olive and Otto walk into the headquarters.
Olive says HEY, OSCAR. HAPPY FRIDAY.
Oscar wears a doctor apron, glasses and a green bow tie.
Shocked, Oscar says IT'S FRIDAY TODAY?
Otto says WHAT'S WRONG?
Oscar says I THOUGHT TODAY WAS
THURSDAY AND IT'S FRIDAY!
SO, THAT MEANS
THE ARRIVAL'S HAPPENING TODAY.
Ms. O says THE ARRIVAL IS HAPPENING TODAY?
Oscar says IT IS!
Olive says EVERYONE, STOP!
WHAT'S ARRIVING?
Oscar says THE HYDRACLOPS.
Olive and Otto say WHOA!
They look at a black and white picture on a wall. It shows a huge monster behind skyscrapers.
Oscar says THIS PHOTO WAS
TAKEN 100 YEARS AGO.
IMAGINE HOW TERRIFYING
IT'LL BE IN COLOUR.
Ms. O says IF THAT THING RISES
OUT OF THE TOWN LAKE,
IT'LL DESTROY THE WHOLE WORLD.
Olive says HOW DO WE STOP IT?
Oscar says WELL, THAT'S THE GOOD NEWS.
WHEN I WAS FIVE YEARS OLD,
I REALISED THAT
THE HYDRACLOPS WAS COMING,
SO I CREATED A POWERFUL WEAPON
AND BURIED IT.
In a memory, little Oscar says IT IS DONE.
Back in the present, Oscar says THIS DIAGRAM SHOWS
WHERE THE WEAPON IS BURIED.
IT ALSO HAS SOME PICTURES ON IT,
LIKE THIS TREE AND THE WATER.
Ms. O says QUIT THE FANCY TALK! IT'S A MAP.
Oscar says OH, YEAH, THAT'S A WAY
BETTER WORD FOR IT.
Ms. O says OLIVE AND OTTO,
GO HELP OSCAR FIND THAT WEAPON.
She screams AGENT OLAF!
Smiling, Olaf says I'M OLAF.
Ms. O says YOU'RE COMING WITH ME
TO GET EVERYONE AWAY
FROM THE TOWN LAKE.
Excited, Olaf says YAY!
Ms. O says THIS IS SERIOUS STUFF, OLAF.
MAYBE I SHOULD PICK
SOMEONE ELSE TO GO!
Oscar says COME ON, GUYS.
Olive says OSCAR!
Oscar says YEAH?
Olive says THE MAP.
Oscar says OH, YEAH, I FORGOT.
SO, GLAD YOU GUYS ARE
DOING THIS WITH ME.
Now, in a park, Oscar says THE MAP SAYS THAT
THE TREASURE'S BURIED EXACTLY
10 NORMANS AWAY FROM THIS TREE.
Olive says WHAT'S A NORMAN?
Oscar says MY FAVOURITE TEDDY BEAR
WHEN I WAS FIVE.
Olive says OH.
UH, COULDN'T YOU OF
MEASURED WITH A RULER,
LIKE EVERYONE ELSE DOES?
Oscar says YEAH, AND JUST HAND OVER
THE WORLD TO THE HYDRACLOPS!
RULERS ARE EVERYWHERE.
THERE'S ONLY ONE NORMAN.
HELLO!
(burbling)
WHOO!
(clearing throat)
THE POINT IS, EVEN IF
THE HYDRACLOPS GOT MY MAP,
HE WOULDN'T HAVE
MY TEDDY BEAR TO MEASURE WITH,
SO HE COULDN'T
FIND THE TREASURE.
Otto says HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO THIS?
THE MAP SAYS THE TREASURE'S
BURIED 10 TEDDY BEARS
AWAY FROM THE TREE,
BUT WE ONLY HAVE ONE.
Oscar says YEAH, BUT WATCH.
AS LONG AS YOU KEEP YOUR PLACE,
YOU CAN USE THE SAME
TEDDY BEAR TEN TIMES.
YOU'VE JUST GOT TO MAKE SURE
THAT, WHEN YOU START A NEW BEAR,
YOU GET ITS HEAD RIGHT UP
TO THE LINE THAT YOU MAKE
WITH YOUR FINGER.
THAT WAY YOU KNOW THAT
YOU'RE MEASURING
REALLY CAREFULLY.
WHEE!
WHAT?! NORMAN LIKES IT
WHEN I MAKE NOISES.
WHEE!
An animated bunny says A LITTLE LATER.
Oscar says AND TEN. THIS MUST BE IT.
Olive says EXCELLENT.
I'LL USE THE UN-DIG-ANATOR.
Otto says COOL, AND I'LL GET NORMAN.
Olive digs out the treasure using a special device.
Oscar says THERE IT IS.
(grunting)
GOT IT.
Oscar takes a map out of the treasure chest.
Olive says WHAT?!
Otto says ANOTHER MAP?!
Oscar says OF COURSE. WHAT DID YOU THINK,
I'M JUST GOING TO HAND OVER
THE WORLD TO THE HYDRACLOPS?
THE MAP SAYS THAT THE NEXT
TREASURE CHEST IS EXACTLY
50 GRANOLA BARS FROM THIS SPOT.
Otto says WHAT KIND OF GRANOLA BAR?
THERE ARE SHORT ONES, LONG ONES,
AND NORMAL SIZED ONES.
Oscar says GOOD QUESTION.
I MEASURED USING
MY FAVOURITE GRANOLA BAR,
WHICH IS A SCHMUMBER CRUNCH.
THERE SHOULD BE SOME
MORE BACK AT HEADQUARTERS.
Otto says OK, YOU TWO GO.
I'LL STAY HERE AND KEEP GUARD.
Olive says REALLY? BUT YOU LOVE FOOD.
Otto says YEAH, I'M COOL.
Olive says OK. LET'S GO.
Playing with the teddy bear, Otto says YOU'RE SO ADORABLE!
YOU'RE SO ADORABLE!
A woman sunbathes at the beach.
Ms. O says MA'AM, WE'VE GOT
AN ODD SITUATION.
YOU'LL NEED TO LEAVE THE BEACH.
The woman says BUT I'M RELAXING.
Ms. O shows her a picture and says THIS IS THE HYDRACLOPS.
HE LAST ROSE 100 YEARS AGO
AND NOW HE'S ABOUT TO
COME OUT OF THERE, DOING THIS.
Olaf screams and grows.
The woman says WELL, WHEN YOU PUT IT THAT WAY.
She screams and runs away.
Ms. O says GOOD WORK, AGENT OLAF.
GO DO THE SAME THING TO THEM.
In an office, Olive says I CAN'T FIND
SCHMUMBER CRUNCH ANYWHERE.
Oscar says ME NEITHER.
O'Malley says HEY, GUYS.
Oscar says OH, HEY, HEY, HEY.
Olive says DID YOU SEE THAT?
Oscar says I KNOW,
O'MALLEY'S ALWAYS SO FRIENDLY.
Olive says NO, HE WAS HOLDING
A SCHMUMBER CRUNCH BAR!
They scream O'MALLEY!
(shouting)
Oscar says STOP RUNNING!
O'Malley says WHY ARE YOU CHASING ME?
Olive says O'MALLEY!
Oscar and Olive yell O'MALLEY!
O'Malley says WHAT DO YOU WANT?
Olive says OFFICIAL ODD SQUAD BUSINESS.
WE NEED THAT SNACK.
O'Malley says OFFICIAL ODD SQUAD BUSINESS? NO.
Oscar says YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.
IT'S THE ONLY WAY TO
STOP THE HYDRACLOPS.
O'Malley says GOOD ONE.
Olive says WAIT!
WE DON'T ACTUALLY NEED THE BAR.
Oscar says WE DON'T?
O'Malley says YOU DON'T?
Olive says WE JUST DID SOMETHING
AS LONG AS THE BAR
AND WE CAN USE
THAT TO MEASURE WITH.
JUST, PLEASE,
CAN WE BORROW THE GRANOLA BAR?
O'Malley sighs and hands her the bar.
Olive says THANK YOU.
Olive compares the bar to a toy car.
Olive says TOO LONG.
Oscar says HOW ABOUT THIS ERASER?
Olive says TOO SHORT.
O'Malley says HOW ABOUT THIS SWORD?
Olive says WHY DO YOU HAVE A SWORD?
O'Malley says FOR DRAGONS.
Olive says SOME PEOPLE.
Oscar says HOW ABOUT THIS PENCIL?
Olive says IT'S THE EXACT SAME LENGTH!
Oscar says LET'S GO SAVE THE WORLD.
Olive says THANKS FOR YOUR HELP, O'MALLEY.
Back in the park, Oscar says 47, 48, 49, 50.
HERE.
Olive sighs.
Oscar says GOT IT.
Otto and Olive says ANOTHER MAP!
Oscar says WHAT DO YOU THINK?
I'M JUST GOING TO HAND...
Olive says HAND OVER THE WORLD.
WE GET IT, WE GET IT.
Oscar says I PROMISE THIS IS THE LAST
TREASURE CHEST WE NEED TO FIND,
AND IT'LL BE EASY
BECAUSE I MEASURED
USING 100 OF MY OWN FOOTSTEPS.
LET'S GO HEEL TO TOE.
ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR...
The animated bunny says A LITTLE EVEN MORE LATER.
Oscar says 98, 99, 100. HERE.
The hole is empty.
Otto says WHAT? WHERE IS IT?
Oscar says I COUNTED EXACTLY 100 STEPS.
Olive says WHAT DO WE DO NOW?
Oscar says I DON'T KNOW.
Olive says BUT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO KNOW!
Oscar says I KNOW!
(phone ringing)
Oscar says YELLO.
Ms. O yells WHERE'S THAT WEAPON?
Oscar says SORRY, MS. O.
WE RAN INTO A SMALL PROBLEM.
Ms. O yells WELL, FIX IT! THE HYDRACLOPS
IS STARTING TO RISE!
WE CAN ONLY HOLD THIS
THING OFF FOR SO LONG.
Oscar says THE MAP SAID 100 FOOTSTEPS.
Otto says MAYBE YOU READ IT WRONG.
I'M SURE YOUR HANDWRITING HAS
CHANGED SINCE YOU WERE FIVE.
Olive says THAT'S IT! YOU BURIED
THE CHEST WHEN YOU WERE FIVE.
WHEN YOU WERE THAT LITTLE,
YOUR FEET WERE LITTLE.
OLIVE'S RIGHT!
AND BECAUSE YOUR
FEET ARE BIGGER NOW,
IT WON'T TAKE AS MANY FOOTSTEPS
TO GET TO THE TREASURE.
Oscar says SO WE...
Olive says WE HAVE TO MEASURE
WITH THE LENGTH OF YOUR
FIVE YEAR OLD FOOT.
Otto says HOW DO WE FIGURE OUT THE LENGTH
OF YOUR FIVE YEAR OLD FOOT?
Oscar says EASY.
He opens his apron and several shoes hang on the inside.
He says LET'S SEE HERE.
SEVEN YEAR OLD SHOES,
FOUR YEAR OLD SHOES. AH!
FIVE YEAR OLD SHOES.
Olive says I'D LOVE TO TALK ABOUT
HOW WEIRD THAT IT IS,
BUT WE DON'T HAVE TIME.
They say 97, 98, 99,
100!
Olive says MOMENT OF TRUTH, GUYS.
Otto says YES!
Oscar says GOT IT.
Otto says COME ON, NORMAN,
LET'S SAVE THE DAY.
They run to the beach shouting.
Oscar says WE GOT IT, MS. O.
Ms. O says JUST IN TIME. WE CAN'T
HOLD HIM OFF ANY LONGER.
LOOK.
The monster roars in the sea.
Olive says OSCAR, GET THE WEAPON.
Oscar takes a sock out of the chest.
Olive and Otto say A SOCK?
Oscar says NOT JUST A SOCK,
IT'S A REALLY STINKY SOCK
BECAUSE IT'S BEEN
BURIED FOR SO LONG.
Olive says HOW IS A SOCK GOING
TO STOP THE HYDRACLOPS?
Olaf says IT IS EFFECTIVE
BECAUSE THE HYDRACLOPS MONSTER
HAS HEIGHTENED OLFACTORY SENSE
DUE TO ITS INCREASE
IN NOSTRIL CAPACITY.
The agents say WHAT?!
Olaf says IT HAS A BIG NOSE
FOR SMELLING. YAY!
Oscar says GO BACK TO THE DEPTHS
FROM WHICH YOU CAME FROM.
The sock glows producing a green light. The monster disappears.
(all cheering)
Ms. O says GREAT WORK, TEAM.
EVERYONE IS SAFE.
Oscar says AT LEAST FOR THE NEXT 100 YEARS.
Ms. O says WHAT?
Oscar says AND THEN HE'LL BE RETURNING
WITH HIS BROTHERS AND SISTERS.
Ms. O yells WHAT?
Oscar says EVERYONE, SOCKS OFF.
They rush to take their socks off.
(music plays)
A colourful animated slate reads "Odd Squad Training Video number 94. How to deal with a Saffron Slimer."
Oscar says OH, HEY GUYS.
DIDN'T SEE YOU THERE,
BUT SINCE WE'RE TALKING,
WHAT SHOULD YOU DO IF
YOU STUMBLE UPON A SAFFRON
SLIMER PLANT LIKE THIS ONE?
STAY CALM. A SAFFRON SLIMER
PLANT WILL ONLY SLIME YOU
IF YOU ARE HEAVIER THAN IT.
HOW CAN YOU TELL IF YOU'RE
HEAVIER THAN A SAFFRON SLIMER?
IT'S EASY WITH
THE USE OF A PAN BALANCE.
He appears standing on a balance.
He continues RIGHT NOW I'M HIGHER
AND THE PLANT IS LOWER.
THAT MEANS THE PLANT
IS HEAVIER AND I'M LIGHTER.
IT ALSO MEANS I'M SAFE
FROM GETTING SLIMED.
HERE I AM WITH
A SMALLER PLANT.
THE GOOD NEWS
IS WE'RE EQUAL.
THAT MEANS I WEIGH THE SAME AS
THE PLANT AND THE SAFFRON SLIMER
ONLY SLIMES YOU IF
YOU'RE HEAVIER THAN IT.
SO, I'M STILL SAFE.
In off, O'Connor says HEY, OSCAR, CATCH.
Oscar says IT WOULD APPEAR THAT O'CONNOR
DECIDED TO PASS ME A FOOTBALL,
AND THE WEIGHT OF THE FOOTBALL
IS JUST ENOUGH TO TIP THE SCALE,
WHICH MEANS I'M LOWER,
AND THE PLANT IS HIGHER,
WHICH MEANS I'M HEAVIER
AND THE PLANT IS LIGHTER,
WHICH MEANS...
I'M COVERED IN SLIME.
HEY, O'CONNOR. CATCH!
O'Connor says YEAH!
Oscar says AND NOW, AN OFFICIAL
MESSAGE FROM MS. O.
Sitting at her desk, Miss O says HAS SOMETHING ODD HAPPENED TO
YOU AT HOME OR IN YOUR SCHOOL?
HAVE YOU TURNED INVISIBLE
OR BEGUN WALKING ON THE CEILING?
ARE THINGS REPEATING
THEMSELVES OVER AND OVER AGAIN?
ARE THINGS REPEATING
THEMSELVES OVER AND OVER AGAIN?
IF SO, ODD SQUAD CAN HELP.
WE CAN FIX ODD PROBLEMS
AND SET THINGS RIGHT AGAIN.
CALL US TODAY.
OUR AGENTS ARE STANDING BY.

Joel says THAT WAS AN AWESOME
EPISODE OF
ODD SQUAD
AND IT GAVE ME TONS OF
IDEAS ABOUT HOW TO MEASURE
USING STANDARD UNITS,
LIKE A CENTIMETRE OR A METRE,
BUT ESPECIALLY WITH
NON-STANDARD UNITS
LIKE MEASURING WITH MY HANDS.
IN THAT EPISODE,
THEY MEASURED WITH A TEDDY BEAR.
NOW, MEASURING WITH
NON-STANDARD UNITS IS GOING TO
BE SUPER DUPER IMPORTANT
AS WE CONTINUE WORKING ON
THE MAPS OF A ROOM IN OUR HOUR.
SO, I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU A BIT
OF A MEASURING CHALLENGE
THAT YOU CAN WORK ON AT HOME
THAT'S GOING TO HELP YOU
LEARN HOW TO BE EVEN BETTER
AT MEASURING, AND THAT'S GOING
TO MAKE YOUR MAP EVEN BETTER.
ALRIGHT. USING YOUR HANDS,
CAN YOU SEE
HOW FAR AWAY YOU ARE
FROM THE TVO COMPUTER RIGHT NOW?
SO, STARTING WHERE
YOU ARE SITTING,
YOU ARE GOING TO LINE
YOUR HAND RIGHT UP WITH YOU.
THAT'S WHERE YOUR
MEASUREMENT STARTS, OKAY?
REMEMBER, WE TALKED A LOT THIS
EPISODE ABOUT LINING UP YOUR
NEXT HAND YOU'RE MEASURING WITH
RIGHT WITH THE ONE YOU'RE USING.
DON'T LEAVE A GAP.
IT WILL NOT GIVE YOU
AN ACCURATE MEASUREMENT, OKAY?
SO, YOU'RE GOING TO GET UP,
PUT ANOTHER HAND DOWN,
PUT ANOTHER HAND DOWN,
AND SEE, USING YOUR HANDS,
HOW FAR AWAY YOU ARE
FROM YOUR TVO COMPUTER.
I WAS FOUR HANDS
AWAY FROM MY COMPUTER.
WE CAN USE
MEASUREMENT TO SHOW THAT.
NOW, YOU CAN
COME UP WITH YOUR OWN
MEASURING CHALLENGES AT HOME.
ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS THINK
ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE MEASURING
AND WHAT NON-STANDARD UNIT
YOU'RE GOING TO MEASURE WITH,
AND ONCE YOU THINK
ABOUT THOSE TWO THINGS,
IT'S SUPER DUPER FUN.
YOU CAN PLAY
WITH A FAMILY MEMBER,
AND DO SOME MEASURING TOGETHER.
SO, MAYBE YOU'LL
COME UP WITH THIS ONE.
HOW MANY SHOES
DOES IT TAKE TO GET FROM
MY BEDROOM TO MY FRONT DOOR?
MAYBE YOU'LL SEE HOW MANY
WATER BOTTLES IT TAKES
TO GET FROM MY LIVING ROOM
TO MY BATHROOM.
SO, IF YOU WANT TO DO
THE MEASURING CHALLENGE AT HOME,
REMEMBER,
YOU'RE GOING TO THINK OF
WHAT YOU'RE MEASURING, RIGHT?
FROM ONE PLACE TO
ANOTHER IN YOUR HOME,
AND YOU'RE GOING TO THINK ABOUT
WHAT YOU'RE MEASURING WITH.
WHAT NON-STANDARD UNIT OR MAYBE
YOU'LL USE A STANDARD UNIT
LIKE A RULER WITH
CENTIMETRES ON IT.
WE STARTED OUR TIME TOGETHER
TODAY TALKING ALL ABOUT MAPS.
WE SAW MAPS OF PROVINCES,
AND I LET YOU KNOW THAT
THERE'S OTHER SORTS OF MAPS.
WE'VE PRACTICED DRAWING OUR
OWN MAP OF A ROOM IN OUR HOUSE
USING A BIRD'S EYE VIEW,
A SCALE, A LEGEND,
AND GOING SLOWLY AND CAREFULLY.
THIS IS A BIG JOB THAT YOU'RE
GOING TO CONTINUE TO WORK ON
AS YOUR DAY GOES ON.
BUT TALKING ABOUT MAPS
ALSO MADE US THINK
A LOT ABOUT MEASUREMENT.
THOSE TWO IDEAS GO TOGETHER
AND THEY ALSO HAVE
SOMETHING IN COMMON.
HAVE YOU NOTICED
MAPS AND MEASUREMENT
BOTH START WITH THE LETTER M.
YOU GOT IT.
TOGETHER, LET'S CHECK OUT THIS
VIDEO ALL ABOUT THE LETTER M
AND SEE HOW MANY
M WORDS WE CAN THINK OF.
A clip plays.
A kid says WHEE!

A Male Announcer says IT'S AN ABC SINGSONG
ABOUT THE LETTER M.
An animated man sings a song that says MOVE, MOVE, M FOR MOVE
MOVE, MOVE, MOVE, M FOR MOVE
OOH
I'VE GOT TO MOVE
WITH THE MONKEY
M FOR MOVE
I'VE GOT TO MOVE
WITH THE MOOSE
M FOR MOVE
UH-HUH, M FOR MOVING
WITH A M-M-M-M-MAMMOTH
M FOR MOVING
WITH MY MANGO JUICE
MOVE, MOVE, M FOR MOVE
MOVE, MOVE, MOVE, M FOR MOVE
I'M MOVING WITH
THE STARS ON M-M-M-MARS
M FOR MOVING WITH MY MITTENS
M FOR MOVE
MOVING WITH
THE MUFFIN IN A MOTORCAR
MOVING, MAKING MAGIC
LIKE A MAGICIAN, TA-DA
MOVE, MOVE, M FOR MOVE
MOVE, MOVE, MOVE, M FOR MOVE
MOVING!

Joel says ALRIGHT, STUDENTS.
THAT WAS A LOT OF FUN
LEARNING TOGETHER TODAY.
NOW, I'VE LEFT YOU WITH A PRETTY
BIG TASK TO WORK ON AT HOME.
USING EVERYTHING WE
LEARNED IN THIS EPISODE,
YOU'RE GOING TO BE MAKING A MAP.
NOW, REMEMBER, THIS IS NOT A JOB
THAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO IN JUST
A COUPLE OF MINUTES.
THERE'S LOTS OF STEPS.
YOU NEED TO HAVE A TITLE.
YOU NEED TO MEASURE OUT THE ROOM
AND THINK ABOUT
THE SCALE YOU'RE GOING TO USE,
AND THEN CAREFULLY
YOU WANT TO ADD YOUR LEGEND.
NOW, THINK ABOUT SIZE, RIGHT?
IF I DREW MY OVEN THIS BIG,
THAT MEANS MY OVEN FILLS
ALMOST HALF MY KITCHEN, OKAY?
SO, THIS IS LIKE A BIT OF,
LIKE, A PROBLEM-SOLVING TASK,
BUT IT'S A LOT OF FUN
AND YOU'RE GOING TO FEEL SUPER
HAPPY AND PROUD
WHEN IT'S FINISHED.
I'M GOING TO SAY BYE FOR TODAY,
BUT I HOPE YOU'RE EXCITED ABOUT
THE LEARNING WE DID TOGETHER
AND I HOPE YOU ARE READY
AND FULL OF IDEAS TO MAKE A MAP
ALL OF YOUR OWN TODAY AT HOME.
MY NAME IS TEACHER JOEL
AND IT'S BEEN SO FUN,
I HOPE YOU HAVE
A GREAT TIME LEARNING,
AND I'LL SEE YOU NEXT TIME.
