Transcript: How do you do that? | Junior Lesson | TVOkids
(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:
HOW DO YOU DO THAT?
A caption reads "Junior 4-6. Teacher Spencer." Spencer sits in a living room full of objects. He is in his early thirties, with a short beard and brown hair. He wears glasses, a gray shirt with a black collar and headphones. He holds a puppet.
Spencer says HELLO STUDENTS FROM ACROSS
ONTARIO WATCHING ON TVOKIDS,
AND EVERYWHERE AND
ANYWHERE WATCHING ONLINE.
THIS IS ANOTHER EPISODE OF
THE
POWER HOUR OF LEARNING.
MY NAME IS SPENCER DE MAN.
Rosco is a blue puppet with pink hair and a big purple nose. He wears a pink hoodie.
With a deep voice, Rosco says AND MY NAME IS ROSCO,
AND BEFORE WE START TODAY,
UM, MR. DE MAN,
I WAS HOPING YOU WOULD TRY THIS
GAME I MADE FOR US TO PLAY.
Spencer says SURE, I THINK WE COULD
SQUEEZE A LITTLE IN.
Rosco says OKAY, OKAY, YOU GO FIRST.
Spencer says UM...
ROSCO, I-- I DON'T KNOW
WHAT TO DO. IT'S YOUR GAME.
Rosco says OH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH! OKAY.
ROLL THE DICE
AND MOVE YOUR PIECE.
YOU CAN BE YELLOW.
Spencer says OKAY.
LET'S SEE.
OH! THERE WE GO.
I ROLLED A TWO.
Rosco says OKAY, OKAY.
GO TWO SPACES.
Spencer says ONE, TWO.
Rosco says OKAY, YOU'RE NOT DONE.
Spencer says WHAT DO YOU MEAN I'M NOT DONE?
Rosco says WELL, NOW BECAUSE YOU LANDED
ON PINK, YOU GET TO GO AGAIN,
'CAUSE PINK IS AWESOME!
BUT IF YOU ROLL A TWO AGAIN,
YOU LOSE THE GAME.
IF YOU ROLL A SIX, YOU GET
TO GO ALL THE WAY TO THE END,
BUT IF YOU ROLL A FOUR,
YOU HAVE TO GO BACKWARDS.
Spencer says UH, ROSCO, THIS IS
SOUNDING REALLY CONFUSING.
HAVE YOU CREATED RULES
OR INSTRUCTIONS TO FOLLOW?
Rosco says NO, I WAS JUST GOING TO
MAKE IT UP AS WE GO,
SO-- SO I COULD WIN FOR SURE!
Spencer says ROSCO, THAT DOESN'T
SOUND LIKE IT'LL BE VERY FUN,
AND DOESN'T SOUND
VERY FAIR AT ALL.
Rosco says OH. OH, MAN.
Spencer says YOU SEE, GAMES NEED
RULES AND CLEAR INSTRUCTIONS
FOR ALL PLAYERS TO FOLLOW.
BUT YOU'RE IN LUCK TODAY,
ROSCO, BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT
I WAS PLANNING ON
TEACHING OUR STUDENTS.
WE'RE GOING TO LEARN
HOW TO WRITE A PROCEDURE.
Rosco says WOW, MR. DE MAN!
IT'S REALLY LUCKY THAT
YOU'RE ALWAYS TEACHING
SOMETHING ABOUT MY PROBLEMS!
Spencer says SURE IS, ROSCO.
NOW, LET'S GET OUR MINDS ON
WITH AN EPISODE
OF
GASTRO BLASTS.
AND PAY CLOSE ATTENTION,
BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO USE
WHAT WE SEE IN THE EPISODE
FOR OUR WORK TODAY.
Rosco says AWESOME!
I HOPE WE CAN LEARN
HOW TO MAKE SOMETHING YUMMY.
The theme song plays.
Doors with show logo slide open. The logo shows a banana and a yellow triangle with black stripes.
A clip shows images of Link making recipes in the kitchen. Link is in his twenties, with short wavy black hair. He wears a black T-shirt with a print on the front.
Pop Star Link appears behind a D.J. tray with tomato slices as records.
Pop Star Link is in his twenties, with short wavy brown hair. He wears an unbuttoned black shirt over a white T-shirt, a purple hat and a headset.
By changing outfits, he turns into Pop Start Link 2 and 3.
Captain Cook appears on a pirate ship clashing spoons with a skeleton.
Captain Cook has a beard, long braided hair, and wears a pirate hat.
An animated Link rides a bike across the screen.
I.Q pops up in the lab. She is in her twenties, with long wavy brown hair in a ponytail. She wears a white T-shirt with a print on the front.
Detective Link appears in an interrogation room. He wears a beige coat and a black hat.
Chip Dippington appears behind a desk. He wears a suit and a headset and hold notes.
Gastro Bob pops up on top of a plant. He has curly white hair and wears a lab coat.
Then, Secret Agent Man blasts off. He is bald and wears a dark suit and sunglasses.
Now animated Link mixes substances in a flask and the flask explodes.
The logo of the show appears with the title "Gastro Blast" in blue letters.
The curtain rolls and the announcer says FOR TODAY'S RECIPE,
LINK WILL BE JOINED BY:
IQ,
GASTRO BOB,
AND YAR CAPTAIN COOK.
I.Q., Gastro Bob and Captain Cook pop up inside bubbles on the screen.
The announcer says AND BACKED UP AS ALWAYS BY:
GUINEA PAGE AND THE
ANIMAL CRACKERS!
A band of animals appears on stage. A duck plays the drums, a rabbit plays the keyboards, a white and gray rodent plays the guitar and brown rodent sings.
(music plays)
In the kitchen, Link says TODAY WE'RE
GONNA MAKE DILL PICKLES
AND PICKLED CARROTS!
NOT ONLY ARE THEY DELICIOUS
BUT THEY'RE SUPER EASY TO MAKE!
SO LET'S GET STARTED!
TO MAKE DILL PICKLES,
HERE'S WHAT YOU'LL NEED...
1 ENGLISH CUCUMBER,
THINLY SLICED
3 QUARTERS OF A CUP OF WHITE VINEGAR
A THIRD CUP OF COARSELY CHOPPED DILL
2 GARLIC CLOVES,
COARSELY CHOPPED
2 TEASPOONS OF KOSHER SALT
2 TABLESPOONS OF
GRANULATED SUGAR
HALF A TEASPOON OF MUSTARD SEEDS.
The ingredients pop up on the counter top as he mentions them.
Link says I BET YA DIDN'T KNOW,
THE PICKLES YOU USUALLY
THINK OF ARE MADE FROM CUCUMBER!
THEIR TASTE AND
TEXTURE ARE DIFFERENT,
THAT'S BECAUSE
THEY'VE BEEN PICKLED!
ISN'T THAT RIGHT, I.Q.?
A slate appears with a test tube for an "I" and a "Q" in purple.
In the lab, I.Q. says THAT'S RIGHT, LINK.
PICKLES AREN'T A VEGETABLE;
THEY'RE A PROCESS.
PICKLING IS THE PROCESS OF
PRESERVING FOODS IN SALT
AND OR VINEGAR
SO THEY DON'T SPOIL.
PICKLING HAS BEEN AROUND
FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS,
LONG BEFORE THE INVENTION
OF REFRIGERATORS.
(music plays)
In his ship, Captain Cook says YAR!
PICKLING'S HOW WE KEEP OUR
PIRATE GRUB FROM SPOILING
DURING LONG VOYAGES.
THIS HERE PICKLE BARREL
IS FULL OF STUFF!
A PIRATE PICKS
A PECK OF PICKLED PEPPERS,
THAN A PECK OF PICKLED
PEPPERS A PIRATE WOULD PICK.
[chuckles]
Link says WE'LL NEED SOMETHING
TO CONTAIN OUR PICKLES...
[whispering] ANY SUGGESTIONS,
SECRET AGENT MAN?
On a radio, Link says ANY SUGGESTIONS,
SECRET AGENT MAN?
[laser]
Secret Agent Man takes a pipette out of his pocket and drops some liquid on two pickling jars on a table.
The jars disappear and reappear on the kitchen counter top.
Link says PICKLING JARS?
THAT'S A GREAT IDEA,
SECRET AGENT MAN!
THANKS!
THESE 500 MIL JARS WILL
BE PERFECT FOR OUR PICKLES!
PICKLING JARS, ALSO
KNOWN AS CANNING JARS
COME IN THREE HANDY PIECES...
THE JAR,
THE LID,
AND THE RING TO KEEP
ALL OUR CONTENTS SEALED.
EVEN THOUGH THESE JARS HAVE
BEEN WASHED BEFORE WE USE THEM,
WE STILL NEED TO
PROPERLY PREPARE THEM
TO MAKE OUR PICKLES.
Gastro Bob says GADZOOKS!
SOUNDS LIKE AN OPPORTUNITY
TO DO SOME STERILIZING.
THE STERILIZING PROCESS SHOULD
DO THE TRICK OF KILLING OFF
ANY BACTERIA THAT COULD
SPOIL LINK'S PICKLES.
Link says THAT'S A GREAT
IDEA GASTRO BOB!
WE'LL HEAT THESE
PICKLE JARS IN THE OVEN
FOR ABOUT TWENTY
MINUTES AT 275 DEGREES.
Link puts the jars in a cooking pan with aluminum foil and puts them in the oven.
Link says NOW, WE'LL
PUT OUR LIDS AND SEALS
IN SOME BOILING HOT WATER.
AND LET THEM SIMMER.
LAB RAT,
SPEED DIAL PLEASE!
(music plays)
Lab Rat speeds up the time as the band plays.
Link says NOW, LET'S START PICKLING!
THERE'S MANY DIFFERENT
KINDS OF VINEGARS:
BALSAMIC,
RED WINE VINEGAR,
APPLE CIDER VINEGAR.
BUT FOR TODAY'S RECIPE WE'RE
GONNA USE WHITE VINEGAR.
THAT'S BECAUSE IT'S CLEAR.
WE DON'T WANT OUR PICKLES
TO ABSORB THE COLOUR
OF THE VINEGAR.
In the lab, I.Q. says YOU KNOW
WHAT ELSE CAN STAIN?
ALUMINUM BOWLS.
VINEGAR IS ACIDIC.
IF YOU MIX UP YOUR BRINE
IN AN ALUMINUM BOWL,
IT CAN REACT TO THE VINEGAR
AND BECOME DISCOLORED.
AND YOUR PICKLES CAN GET
AN UNWANTED METALLIC TASTE.
NON-REACTIVE COOKWARE IS MADE
FROM MATERIALS, LIKE GLASS,
THAT DON'T REACT TO
THE ACIDITY IN FOODS,
SUCH AS TOMATOES OR LEMON
JUICE AND EVEN PICKLES.
Link says THANKS FOR THE TIP, I.Q.!
THE ONLY REACTION WE WANT
IS FOR THIS CUCUMBER TO
TRANSFORM INTO A PICKLE!
WE'LL ADD OUR MUSTARD,
AND OUR SUGAR.
THE WARM VINEGAR WILL HELP
THE SUGAR DISSOLVE BETTER.
HMM...
TWO TEASPOONS OF SALT DOES
SEEM PRETTY SALTY THOUGH...
I.Q. says SALT IS A SUPER MINERAL!
WHEN IT'S USED FOR
FLAVOURING IN FOOD,
YOU CAN ADJUST IT TO YOUR
TASTE OR CUT IT OUT ENTIRELY.
BUT WHEN IT COMES TO PICKLING,
SALT IS ABSOLUTELY
NECESSARY.
THAT'S BECAUSE
SALT IS A PRESERVATIVE
AND INHIBITS THE
GROWTH OF BAD BACTERIA.
SO DON'T CUT BACK ON THE SALT
WHEN FOLLOWING A RECIPE
FOR PICKLES.
AND JUST AS IMPORTANT:
USE THE TYPE OF SALT
NAMED IN THE RECIPE.
IN THIS CASE: KOSHER SALT.
REGULAR TABLE SALT CONTAINS
ANTI-CAKING AGENTS.
Secret Agent man pushes away a piece of cake and shakes his head.
I.Q. says I DON'T MEAN A SECRET
AGENT WHO IS AGAINST CAKE.
ANTI-CAKING AGENTS ARE ADDITIVES
ADDED TO DRY INGREDIENTS
SUCH AS SALT AND ICING SUGAR TO
KEEP THEM FROM CLUMPING.
IF YOUR SALT HAS
ANTI-CAKING AGENTS,
IT CAN MAKE YOUR LIQUID CLOUDY.
Link says THIS KOSHER SALT HAS NO
ANTI-CAKING ADDITIVES TO IT.
THANKS FOR THE TIP, I.Q.!
STIR ALL YOUR INGREDIENTS
UNTIL THE SALT AND SUGAR
HAVE DISSOLVED.
The band plays.
Link says THIS IS CALLED A BRINE.
A BRINE IS WHEN YOU
DISSOLVE SALT IN A LIQUID!
WE WANT ALL OUR
PICKLES TO BE THE SAME SIZE,
SO WE'RE CUTTING
THEM INTO "COINS."
Captain Cook grabs his treasure and says UH-UH, NO WAY, LINK!
YOU CAN'T PICKLE ME GOLD COINS!
THIS BE PIRATE BOOTY!
YAR!
Link says DON'T WORRY, CAPTAIN COOK!
A COIN IS JUST A TERM FOR
CUTTING VEGETABLES
LIKE CUCUMBERS, OR ZUCCHINIS,
OR CARROTS, CROSSWISE.
INTO "ROUNDS" OR "RONDELLES."
Captain Cook says GOOD,
BECAUSE THESE GOLD
COINS BE NOT VERY TASTY!
He bites a coin.
[crunch]
Link says NO PROBLEM, CAPTAIN COOK.
WE'LL HAVE A BOUNTY
OF TASTY TREASURE TO SHARE
ONCE WE FINISH
MAKING THESE PICKLES.
HMM.
I WONDER HOW ALL THESE PICKLES
ARE GOING TO STAY PRESERVED?
HEY IQ?
I.Q. says PRESERVING FRESH FOOD
IS A SCIENTIFIC BALANCING ACT
BETWEEN KEEPING HARMFUL BACTERIA
FROM SPOILING OUR FOOD,
AND LOCKING IN NUTRIENTS THROUGH
THE HELP OF SALT AND VINEGAR.
WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE
PROCESS OF PICKLING IS THIS.
FIRST, THE SALTY SOLUTION
DRAWS MOISTURE OUT OF THE FOOD,
PRESERVING IT AND KEEPING
IT SAFE FROM BACTERIA.
THAT ACTION OF THE BRINE MOVING
ACROSS THE FOOD'S CELL WALLS
IS CALLED OSMOSIS.
An animation shows the processes of osmosis and diffusion on a blackboard behind her.
She says SECOND, THE SALT,
VINEGAR AND SEASONINGS
SPREAD INTO THE FOOD'S CELL
WALLS AND CHANGE ITS TASTE.
THAT'S CALLED DIFFUSION.
Gastro Bob says SO WITH PICKLING,
OSMOSIS MOVES THE NATURAL
MOISTURE OUT OF THE CUCUMBER.
AND DIFFUSION MOVES THE FLAVOUR
IN, GIVING THAT PICKLED TASTE!
Link says THANKS, GASTRO BOB!
WE'LL KEEP THESE PICKLES
IN THE FRIDGE FOR A FEW HOURS,
OR OVERNIGHT, BEFORE
THEY'RE READY TO EAT...
BUT AFTER THAT, THEY'LL
BE PICKLED AND PRESERVED!
KEEP YOUR PICKLES IN THE
FRIDGE AT A COLD TEMPERATURE
TO KEEP BACTERIA AT BAY.
Rosco says OH, WOW, THOSE LOOK YUMMY!
CAN WE TRY TO MAKE THOSE
AT HOME, MR. DE MAN?
Spencer says FOR SURE, ROSCO.
ALL WE NEED TO DO IS WRITE
THE RECIPE FIRST.
Rosco says WHAT?
HOW ARE WE GOING TO DO THAT?
Spencer says WELL, THE EPISODE
SHOWED US WHAT TO DO.
WE NEED TO TAKE THAT
INFORMATION AND WRITE IT DOWN
INTO A PROCEDURE
FOR PEOPLE TO FOLLOW.
Rosco says AND THAT'S THE RECIPE?
Spencer says EXACTLY. FOLLOW ALONG.
Rosco says OKAY!
Now, Spencer sits next to a white board with a text.
Spencer says SO TODAY, WE'RE GOING TO
LEARN HOW TO WRITE A PROCEDURE.
A PROCEDURE HAS
FOUR MAIN PARTS.
THERE'S THE TITLE:
WHAT ARE THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR?
THERE'S THE PURPOSE: WHAT IS
THE REASON FOR THE PROCEDURE?
He points to the board and continues MATERIALS:
WHAT IS NEEDED?
AND THEN YOUR INSTRUCTIONS,
WHICH WILL BE A SET
OF NUMBERED INSTRUCTIONS.
ONE, TWO, THREE, HOWEVER MANY
YOU NEED FOR YOUR PROCEDURE.
SO FIRST, LET'S TALK ABOUT
THE TITLE. GIVE YOUR PROCEDURE
A DESCRIPTIVE TITLE
THAT STARTS WITH
"A PROCEDURE FOR..."
WHATEVER YOU'RE DOING,
OR "INSTRUCTIONS FOR..."
WHATEVER YOU'RE DOING AS WELL.
IF THE PROCEDURE IS
FOR A SCIENCE EXPERIMENT,
A DESCRIPTIVE TITLE
CAN START WITH
"A PROCEDURE FOR
INVESTIGATING EARTHWORMS,"
OR "A PROCEDURE
FOR AN EXPERIMENT
FOR BUILDING
SOMETHING REALLY TALL."
IF IT'S A BOARD GAME, INCLUDE
THE TITLE OF YOUR BOARD GAME.
BUT AVOID SPENDING
TOO MUCH TIME ON THE TITLE.
IF YOU'RE STUCK,
YOU CAN ALWAYS CHANGE IT LATER.
SOMETIMES GOOD TITLES WILL
COME TO YOU AS YOU'RE WORKING.
THE NEXT THREE PARTS
ARE PURPOSE,
MATERIALS,
AND INSTRUCTIONS.
EACH PART SHOULD BE GIVEN
A SUBHEADING SO THE READER
KNOWS WHAT INFORMATION
THEY WILL FIND UNDER EACH.
THE PURPOSE WITH
A BRIEF EXPLANATION OF THE GOAL
OF THE PROCEDURE,
ONE OR TWO SENTENCES.
MATERIALS, IN POINT FORM,
YOU'LL LIST WHAT YOU NEED.
AND THE INSTRUCTIONS,
A NUMBER FOR EACH IN
THE SET OF INSTRUCTIONS.
SO, AGAIN:
ONE, TWO, THREE, AND SO ON.
Holding Rosco, he continues NOW, ROSCO, I WANT YOU
TO FIND THE INFORMATION
SO YOU CAN START TO WRITE
A PROCEDURE FOR MAKING PICKLES
LIKE LINK DID,
FROM
GASTRO BLAST.
Rosco says OKAY, I BETTER GET TO WORK.
UM... SO I NEED
TO FIND THE INFORMATION
FOR EACH PART OF MY PROCEDURE.
THE TITLE, THE PURPOSE,
MATERIALS, AND INSTRUCTIONS.
HMM.
I THINK I SHOULD PROBABLY
REWATCH SOME OF THE EPISODE
TO FIND THE INFORMATION.
Spencer says GREAT IDEA, ROSCO.
Rosco says OKAY, I THINK
THE TITLE AND PURPOSE
MIGHT BE
NEAR THE BEGINNING.
LET'S WATCH.
In the kitchen, Link says TODAY WE'RE
GONNA MAKE DILL PICKLES
AND PICKLED CARROTS!
NOT ONLY ARE THEY DELICIOUS
BUT THEY'RE SUPER EASY TO MAKE!
SO LET'S GET STARTED!
TO MAKE DILL PICKLES,
HERE'S WHAT YOU'LL NEED...
1 ENGLISH CUCUMBER,
THINLY SLICED
3 QUARTERS OF A CUP OF WHITE VINEGAR
A THIRD CUP OF COARSELY CHOPPED DILL
2 GARLIC CLOVES,
COARSELY CHOPPED
2 TEASPOONS OF KOSHER SALT
2 TABLESPOONS OF
GRANULATED SUGAR
HALF A TEASPOON OF MUSTARD SEEDS.
Now, Rosco stands next to a white board with a list.
Rosco says OH, THAT WAS PERFECT!
I GOT THE TITLE, PURPOSE,
AND THE MATERIALS I'LL NEED.
OKAY, MY TITLE IS...
UM, UM,
"HOW TO MAKE DILL PICKLES."
YEAH,
I THINK THAT SOUNDS RIGHT.
MY PURPOSE-- UM, WELL,
THE PURPOSE OF THIS PROCEDURE
IS TO HELP ME
MAKE PICKLES AT HOME!
AND THEN LINK SAID
ALL THE INGREDIENTS,
AND I THINK
THAT'S MY MATERIALS.
SO, UM, I NEED
ONE ENGLISH CUCUMBER,
THREE-QUARTERS OF A CUP
OF WHITE VINEGAR,
ONE-THIRD OF A CUP
OF COARSELY CHOPPED DILL,
TWO GARLIC CLOVES,
TWO TEASPOONS OF KOSHER SALT,
TWO TABLESPOONS
OF GRANULATED SUGAR,
AND ONE TEASPOON
OF MUSTARD SEED.
OH, WOW.
OKAY, NOW I SHOULD KEEP
WATCHING AND FIGURE OUT
WHAT I SHOULD WRITE
FOR MY INSTRUCTIONS.
I THINK THIS IS GOING
TO TAKE ME A LITTLE WHILE.
I'LL FINISH UP MY WORK,
WHILE ALL OF YOU AT HOME
AND ONLINE
WATCH THE REST
OF
GASTRO BLAST.
ENJOY!
Link says I CAN'T WAIT TO EAT
THOSE CRUNCHY DILL PICKLES.
I LOVE PICKLING!
IN FACT, I LOVE
PICKLING SO MUCH,
I'M GONNA SHOW YOU ANOTHER
RECIPE FOR PICKLING CARROTS!
HERE'S WHAT YOU'LL NEED...
3 LARGE CARROTS, PEELED
AND CUT INTO MATCHSTICKS
3 QUARTERS OF A CUP OF UNSEASONED
RICE WINE VINEGAR
1 INCH PIECE OF GINGER
ROOT, PEELED AND SLICED THIN
2 TABLESPOONS OF
GRANULATED SUGAR
1 TEASPOON OF KOSHER SALT
The ingredients pop up on the counter top as he mentions them.
Link says WE'LL ADD OUR SUGAR AND
SALT TO OUR WARM VINEGAR.
AND WE'LL MIX TILL
IT'S DISSOLVED.
I'VE CUT OUR CARROTS
INTO A MATCHSTICK SHAPE!
YOU CAN CUT YOUR VEGETABLE
INTO
ANY
SHAPE YOU WANT!
JUST MAKE SURE ALL
THE PIECES ARE THE SAME SIZE
SO THEY GET EQUALLY PICKLED.
He puts the pickles in a jar.
He says ADD YOUR GINGER,
AND YOUR BRINE.
IF YOUR BRINE DOESN'T
FULLY COVER YOUR CARROTS,
YOU CAN ADD A
LITTLE BIT OF WATER.
FOR THE BEST
TASTE AND TEXTURE,
WE'RE GONNA PUT OUR PICKLED
CARROTS IN THE FRIDGE
AND LET THEM SIT OVERNIGHT.
BUT IF YOU'RE AS HUNGRY AS I AM,
YOU CAN EAT YOUR PICKLED CARROTS
AFTER A FEW HOURS OF
SITTING IN THE BRINE.
LUCKILY, I HAVE A LAB RAT
TO HELP SPEED THINGS UP!
LAB RAT, SPEED DIAL!
Lab Rat speeds up the time.
Link says NOW SINCE
OUR PICKLED CARROTS
AND CUCUMBERS ARE COMPLETE,
I KNOW EXACTLY
WHAT TO DO WITH THEM...
LET'S ADD THEM TO
A YUMMY SANDWICH!
BUT FIRST IT'S
TIME TO TIDY UP...
As Link tidies up, the band plays a song that says LET'S TIDY UP!
WHEN YOU'RE FINISHED
AND THE COOKING'S DONE,
EVEN THOUGH YOU HAD
LOTS OF FUN YOU,
GOTTA CLEANUP THE
POTS AND PANS,
GOTTA PUT EM' AWAY, YOU
GOTTA WASH YOUR HAND.
YOU GOTTA DO YOUR BEST
TO CLEANUP YOUR MESS,
AND TIDY UP!
SO TIDY UP!
C'MON DO YOUR BEST
TO CLEANUP YOUR MESS,
AND TIDY UP!
SO TIDY UP!
Link says WE'VE SAVED THE
BEST PART, FOR LAST!
He puts pickles in a sandwich and says I CAN'T WAIT
TO BITE INTO THIS!
Captain Cook says BARNACLES!
ME PICKLE BARREL'S EMPTY.
MIGHT YE BE ABLE TO PROCESS
ME SOME MORE PICKLES,
MATEY?
Link says SURE I CAN, CAPTAIN COOK.
WHAT KIND OF FRESH PRODUCE
DO YOU HAVE FOR ME TO PICKLE?
Captain Cook says WELL LINK, I HAVE
ALL THESE THAT YOU CAN PICKLE
AND I'LL UH...
I'LL PICKLE...
OH!
THIS OLD BOOT!
[laughs]
WONDER HOW THAT'S GONNA TASTE.
[inhales]
(music plays)
A slate reads "Gastro News."
Behind his desk, Chip says GREETINGS, GASTROBLASTERS!
WHAT A SAVE IT'S BEEN... THAT IS
SAVING FRESH PRODUCE FOR ANOTHER
DAY THROUGH THE CHEMISTRY OF
SALT AND VINEGAR AND PICKLING.
WHOA! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT FOLKS?
TWO RECIPES IN
ONE ROUND ALL DONE
WITH THE PROCESS OF PICKLING!
WITH A BIT OF OSMOSIS AND
DIFFUSION WE SAW THE PRESERVING
OF FRESHNESS AND THE
SWEEPING AWAY OF BACTERIA.
LINK EVEN MAKES
HIMSELF A SANDWICH
FOR AN ALL-STAR
COOKING HOME RUN!
LET'S TAKE A LOOK...
Clips from the show roll on a pop up screen.
Link takes a crunchy bite of the sandwich and Chip falls from his chair.
[crunch]
[rumbling]
Chip says WHOA!!
Link says SORRY 'BOUT THAT, CHIP.
BUT YOU'D BETTER HOLD
ONTO YOUR SEAT NEXT TIME,
'CAUSE WE'VE GOT PLENTY
MORE PICKLES TO EAT!
In the lab, Link says THANKS FOR
YOUR HELP TODAY I.Q!
I.Q. says NO PROBLEM LINK,
THANKS FOR THE LUNCH!
They do a cool hand shake and say GASTROBLAST!
Music plays as the end credits roll.

Rosco says WOW! THOSE PICKLED CARROTS
LOOK DELICIOUS TOO.
AH, COOKING SHOWS
ALWAYS MAKE ME SO HUNGRY!
Spencer says SAME HERE, ROSCO.
AND IT'S FUN TO TRY OUT
IDEAS YOU LEARN WHILE WATCHING.
DO YOU THINK YOU'RE READY
TO FOLLOW YOUR PROCEDURE
AND MAKE SOME
OF THOSE PICKLES?
Rosco says WELL, I JUST FINISHED WRITING
DOWN THE LAST INSTRUCTION.
Spencer says OKAY, ROSCO. WHY DON'T
YOU SHOW US YOUR WORK?
Rosco turns and looks at the white board.
He says OKAY, SO, MY TITLE IS
"HOW TO MAKE DILL PICKLES,"
AND THE PURPOSE
OF MY PROCEDURE
IS TO HELP ME
MAKE PICKLES AT HOME.
AND THERE ARE MY MATERIALS,
THEY'RE, LIKE,
THE INGREDIENTS I WILL NEED.
Spencer says LOOKS GREAT SO FAR, ROSCO.
NOW LET'S SEE
YOUR INSTRUCTIONS.
A new list appears on the white board.
Rosco says WOW, IT'S LIKE THE BOARD
KNEW WE NEEDED MY NEXT PAGE!
AWESOME!
OKAY, SO, THE INSTRUCTIONS:
STEP ONE,
He reads WARM THE VINEGAR IN A MICROWAVE
ON A MICROWAVE-SAFE
MEASURING CUP FOR ONE MINUTE.
STEP TWO, ADD THE MUSTARD SEED
TO THE WARM VINEGAR.
STEP THREE, ADD THE SUGAR
TO THE WARM VINEGAR.
STEP FOUR, ADD THE SALT
TO THE WARM VINEGAR.
STEP FIVE, STIR UNTIL
THE SUGAR AND SALT DISSOLVE
TO MAKE THE BRINE.
Spencer says GOOD JOB, ROSCO!
BUT I HAVE A BIT OF FEEDBACK
FOR YOU BEFORE WE KEEP GOING.
Rosco says UM, OKAY.
Spencer says I THINK STEP ONE IS GREAT,
BUT MAYBE YOU
COULD ADD SOMETHING
ABOUT ASKING FOR HELP
FROM A PARENT WHEN USING THINGS
LIKE THE MICROWAVE
IN THE KITCHEN.
Rosco says OH, OKAY,
THAT MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA.
Spencer says NOW, STEP TWO, THREE, FOUR AND
FIVE ARE ALL SMALLER STEPS
THAT COULD BE PART OF ONE
OVERALL STEP.
CAN YOU EDIT YOUR WORK AND
COMBINE THEM INTO ONE STEP?
Rosco says UM, WELL, I THINK SO.
YEAH, I THINK I CAN DO THAT.
LET'S SEE.
WHAT IF I MAKE STEP TWO, UM,
"ADD THE MUSTARD SEED, SUGAR,
AND SALT TO THE WARM VINEGAR
AND STIR UNTIL DISSOLVED
TO MAKE YOUR BRINE."
YEAH.
An updated list appears.
Rosco says HEY, MY WORK CHANGED ALREADY!
THAT'S PRETTY HANDY!
Spencer chuckles and says IT SURE IS, ROSCO.
AND YOUR NEW
STEP TWO IS CLEARER
AND TAKES UP
A LOT LESS SPACE.
Rosco says YEAH, IT SAVED
A WHOLE PIECE OF PAPER!
OKAY, UM,
NEXT COMES STEP THREE.
CUT THE CUCUMBER
CROSSWISE INTO COINS,
AND STEP FOUR,
TOSS THE CUCUMBER COINS
WITH THE DILL IN A SMALL BOWL.
AND THEN-- OH.
CAN THE BOARD MAKE
THE THING HAPPEN AGAIN?
Spencer says I THINK SO, ROSCO.
Rosco says WOW, THE BOARD REALLY
IS ON TOP OF THIS TODAY!
OKAY, STEP FIVE,
FILL A STERILIZED JAR WITH
THE CUCUMBER, DILL,
AND GARLIC CLOVES,
AND THEN STEP SIX,
POUR THE BRINE OVER
THE JAR'S CONTENTS.
FILL THE JAR TO THE TOP!
STEP SEVEN, SEAL THE JAR
AND PLACE IN THE FRIDGE
FOR AT LEAST THREE HOURS
OR OVERNIGHT.
AND THEN,
THE BEST STEP, STEP EIGHT,
EAT YOUR DILL PICKLES AND
STORE LEFTOVERS IN THE FRIDGE.
Spencer says VERY NICE,
ROSCO, THAT'S AWESOME.
THAT'S REALLY GREAT WRITING.
HOW ARE YOU FEELING
ABOUT WRITING PROCEDURES NOW?
Rosco says UM, REALLY GOOD, MR. DE MAN.
AND NOW THAT I'VE WRITTEN
A PROCEDURE FOR COOKING,
I THINK I MIGHT
BE READY TO WRITE
MY BOARD GAME INSTRUCTIONS!
UM, BUT I THINK I NEED
A LITTLE BRAIN BREAK FIRST.
I'M GETTING KIND OF TIRED.
Spencer says OKAY. WELL,
WHY DON'T YOU JOIN ME
AND OUR STUDENTS WATCHING WHILE
I FOLLOW ANOTHER PROCEDURE
TO MAKE
ORIGAMI SUNGLASSES?
Rosco says THAT SOUNDS FUN!
A close-up shot of hands doing origami and the instructions for it appear on split screens.
In off, Spencer says OKAY, FOR TODAY'S BRAIN BREAK,
WE'RE GOING TO
FOLLOW ANOTHER PROCEDURE.
THE TITLE IS, "HOW TO
MAKE ORIGAMI SUNGLASSES."
"FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS
TO MAKE COOL SHADES
FOR A DOLL OR STUFFY,"
IS THE PROCEDURE
AND THE MATERIALS ARE
ONE PIECE OF PRINTER PAPER.
LET'S GET STARTED.
STEP ONE,
PLACE A PIECE OF PRINTER PAPER
SO THE WIDTH IS LONGER
THAN THE HEIGHT; LANDSCAPE.
TAKE THE BOTTOM RIGHT
CORNER AND FOLD THE PAPER
SO THAT IT MEETS
THE TOP LEFT CORNER.
THE RED ARROW SHOWS
THE DIRECTION OF THE FOLD
AND THE DOTTED BLACK LINE
SHOWS WHERE THE CREASE WILL BE.
STEP TWO, TURN YOUR WORK
SO THE LONGEST
EDGE IS FACING YOU.
FOLD IT IN HALF
FROM RIGHT TO LEFT.
THE DIRECTION OF FOLD IS
AGAIN SHOWED BY THE RED LINE,
AND THE BLACK
DOTTED LINE SHOWS
WHERE THE CREASE WILL BE.
WE'RE GONNA MAKE
SURE THOSE ARE NICE CREASES
BY SMOOTHING THEM OUT.
STEP THREE,
UNFOLD YOUR WORK
AND ORIENT IT
LIKE A LANDSCAPE.
CHECK OUT THE DIAGRAM.
DOES IT MATCH?
STEP FOUR, FOLD THE PAPER
ALONG THE CREASE CREATED
IN STEP TWO.
LOOKS LIKE I'M GOING
TO LINE THESE TWO LINES UP
AND I'LL FOLD THAT
CREASE AGAIN AND OH, LOOK.
MY WORK DOES LOOK LIKE
TWO OVERLAPPING TRIANGLES.
AWESOME.
STEP FIVE, WITH
THE LONGEST EDGE FACING YOU,
HOLD IT UP TO THE POINT
WHERE THE TWO TRIANGLES MEET.
THIS IS WHERE DIAGRAMS
COME IN REALLY HANDY.
THE RED ARROW
SHOWING THE DIRECTION
AND THE BLACK
DOTTED LINES HELP A LOT.
STEP SIX, FOLD THE BOTTOM
EDGE TO THE SAME POINT
WHERE THE TWO
TRIANGLES MEET FROM STEP FIVE.
I'M LOOKING AT THE DIAGRAM
WHICH LOOKS REALLY SIMILAR
TO THE DIAGRAM
FROM STEP FIVE AS WELL.
SO, IT'S ALMOST
THE SAME KIND OF STEP,
JUST GOING TO REALLY
MAKE SURE THE FOLDS
ARE PRESSED DOWN
NICE AND TIGHT.
STEP SEVEN,
FOLD THE BOTTOM EDGE UP
TO THE SAME POINT
FROM STEP SIX.
OH WOW, WE DID THAT
A WHOLE BUNCH OF TIMES.
AND LET'S SEE,
DOES MY PIECE LOOK LIKE
A BAND WITH TWO
TRIANGLES ON TOP?
WELL, IT DOES.
GUESS WE'RE
DOING IT RIGHT SO FAR.
STEP EIGHT, FOLD THE TIPS
OF THE TRIANGLES DOWN
SO THE POINTS ARE
ALMOST TOUCHING THE BAND.
OKAY, I SEE THE FOLD LINES
AND THE DIRECTION ARROWS...
AH, THERE WE GO.
THAT LOOKS RIGHT. OH,
IT SAYS SOMETHING UNDERNEATH.
"YOU MIGHT WANT TO
TAPE OR GLUE THE POINTS DOWN
SO THEY CAN'T POKE
ANYONE IN THE EYES."
WELL, I GUESS THESE ARE,
LIKE, PART OF THE LENSES
AND THOSE PARTS WOULD KIND OF
POKE OUT A LITTLE BIT.
YEAH, I THINK WE BETTER
GLUE THOSE DOWN. SAFETY FIRST.
STEP NINE, HOLD THE RIGHT
AND LEFT SIDES OF THE BAND
TOWARDS THE MIDDLE
OF YOUR WORK,
WHERE THE TRIANGLES
MEET THE BAND ON THE RIGHT
AND LEFT SIDES.
THESE FOLDS WILL CREATE
THE ARMS OF YOUR SUNGLASSES.
AND AGAIN WE CAN SEE
HOW USEFUL DIAGRAMS ARE
IN A PROCEDURE,
BECAUSE THAT'S A LOT OF WORDS
AND IT'S STILL
A LITTLE BIT CONFUSING,
BUT THE DIAGRAM
REALLY HELPS OUT.
LOOK, THEY REALLY DO LOOK LIKE
THE ARMS OF SUNGLASSES, NICE.
STEP TEN, YOUR ORIGAMI
SUNGLASSES ARE COMPLETE.
HAVE FUN
DECORATING YOUR WORK,
AND REMEMBER YOU
WON'T BE ABLE TO SEE ANYTHING
THROUGH THEM UNLESS YOU
CAN SEE RIGHT THROUGH PAPER.
I'M PRETTY SURE NONE
OF US HAVE X-RAY VISION.
AND THANKS FOR
FOLLOWING THIS PROCEDURE
TO MAKE ORIGAMI SUNGLASSES.
HAVE FUN, MY FRIENDS!
Rosco appears wearing black and orange origami sunglasses.
Rosco says HOW DO I LOOK, MR. DE MAN?
Spencer says VERY SNAZZY, ROSCO. GREAT
JOB WITH YOUR SUNGLASSES.
Rosco says YEAH, IT WAS VERY RELAXING
TO FOLLOW YOUR INSTRUCTIONS.
AND I WAS THINKING,
THERE'S PROCEDURES LIKE
RECIPES FOR COOKING,
THERE'S PROCEDURES FOR GAMES
WITH RULES AND INSTRUCTIONS,
THERE'S PROCEDURES
LIKE CONSTRUCTIONS
WITH LOTS OF PICTURES
FOR ORIGAMI
AND EVEN FOR TOYS LIKE LEGO.
ARE THERE PROCEDURES
FOR EVERYTHING?
Spencer says IT SEEMS LIKE IT, ROSCO.
PROCEDURE WRITING IS IMPORTANT,
SO WE CAN TEACH
AND LEARN NEW THINGS
AT SCHOOL AND AT HOME.
OUR RULES AT SCHOOL,
OUR PROCEDURE,
YOUR TEACHER'S LESSON PLAN,
OR A WORKSHEET THEY
GIVE YOU ALSO HAVE PROCEDURES.
AT HOME, YOU USE PROCEDURES
TO PUT TOGETHER THINGS
LIKE TOYS OR FURNITURE.
Rosco says OH YEAH, YEAH, THAT'S TRUE.
I LIKE IT WHEN I GET
NEW FURNITURE FOR MY ROOM.
Spencer says YEAH, AND THE MECHANIC FOLLOWS
MANY DIFFERENT PROCEDURES
TO FIX ALL THE DIFFERENT
PARTS OF YOUR CAR.
YOUR VIDEO
GAMES ARE EVEN CREATED
USING STEP BY STEP
PROCEDURES CALLED CODING
FOR YOUR COMPUTER TO PROCESS.
Rosco says WHAT?
EVEN VIDEO GAMES?
HOW DOES A GAME
FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS?
Spencer says I THOUGHT
YOU MIGHT ASK THAT.
LET'S WATCH THIS
SCIENCE EXPLOSION CLIP
FOR AN EXPLANATION.
Rosco says OH YEAH!
In animation, a Big Bang of Math symbols and science gadgets occur as real life scientist and magician Eric opens a portal in his tablet and more gadgets appear: a magnifying glass, a flask, binoculars, a protractor, and a magnet.
Eric has short, curly brown hair and a shadow of a beard. He wears a blue Science Explosion T-shirt and a kitchen apron.
The theme song says WHAT A HIT, IT'S ELECTRIC
IT'S SCIENCE EXPLOSION
JUST FOR YOU,
COOL AND NEW
SCIENCE EXPLOSION
Eric stands inside a kitchen holding an instruction sheet for a recipe, with the instructions in a wrong order: 2, 4, 3, 1.
A female voice says UH OH, ERIC.
YOUR INSTRUCTIONS SEEM
TO BE IN THE WRONG ORDER.
THE ORDER IS VERY,
VERY IMPORTANT.
IT'S LIKE COMPUTER CODING.
WE NEED CLEAR INSTRUCTIONS
THAT ARE IN EXACTLY THE RIGHT
ORDER TO MAKE A PIE, RIGHT?
WE ALSO NEED CLEAR
INSTRUCTIONS TO CODE,
SO CODING MEANS
WRITING PROGRAMS
THAT TELL ROBOTS AND COMPUTERS
HOW TO DO CERTAIN TASKS.
(triumphant music plays)
Eric raises his brows, then flips the instruction sheet and the instructions appear in the correct order.
The woman says WOW, ERIC. THAT'S A COOL TRICK
AND IT GIVES ME ANOTHER IDEA.
EASY INSTRUCTIONS
GIVEN IN THE RIGHT ORDER
CAN MAKE AN
AWESOME TREASURE HUNT.
WOULD YOU LIKE
TO DO ONE WITH ME?
Eric nods.
The woman continues AND THIS WILL HELP US LEARN
MORE ABOUT COMPUTER CODING AT THE SAME TIME.
TO GET STARTED WE NEED A GRID.
I DREW A GRID THAT'S 10 SQUARE
By 8 SQUARES.
On a black floor, a grid appears that is 10 squares wide and 8 squares tall. A paper star sits in one of the corners and other objects sit in other squares inside the grid.
The woman says TO BEGIN, THE SQUARE WITH THE STAR ON IT,
THE GOAL OF THE GAME IS TO FIND THE TREASURE.
BUT FIRST WE HAVE TO FIND THREE CLUES. IF YOU WANT
TO SUCCEED IN FINDING THE TREASURE, YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW
MY INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY, JUST LIKE A COMPUTER OR A ROBOT.
In a robotic voice, the woman says ROBO ERIC, TURN TO
THE RIGHT. MOVE AHEAD ONES SQUARE.
TURN TO THE LEFT.
As she speaks, Eric follows her commands.
She continues MOVE AHEAD 4 SQUARES.
Eric walks into a square containing an apple.
The woman says YOU FOUND THE FIRST CLUE.
TURN TO THE RIGHT. MOVE AHEAD 3 SQUARES.
Eric bumps into a tall lamp.
The woman says UH OH, WHAT'S THIS LAMP DOING HERE?
WE'LL HAVE TO WORK AROUND IT. ERIC,
TURN TO THE RIGHT. MOVE AHEAD 2 SQUARES.
NOW TURN TO THE LEFT; MOVE AHEAD 3 SQUARES.
Eric finds an oven mitt.
The woman says LOOK, YOU FOUND THE SECOND CLUE.
MMM, WONDER WHAT IT MEANS.
OKAY LET'S CONTINUE. TURN TO THE LEFT.
MOVE AHEAD 3 SQUARES.
As Eric finds a fork and a napkin, the woman says ANOTHER CLUE,
THE LAST ONE. YOU POKE MILD CURIOSITY.
[laughter]
NOW TURN TO THE LEFT. MOVE AHEAD 1 SQUARE.
TURN TO THE RIGHT.
MOVE AHEAD ONE MORE SQUARE.
Eric finds a small treasure box.
The woman says AND YOU'RE THERE.
WELL DONE, ERIC. YOU DID IT.
AND NOW YOU UNDERSTAND MORE ABOUT
HOW WE PROGRAM COMPUTERS AND ROBOTS
WITH CLEAR INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN IN A LOGICAL ORDER.
GO AHEAD GO AHEAD, ERIC. YOU EARNED IT.
Eric opens the treasure box and takes out a small apple pie.
The woman says AN APPLE PIE? NICE.
Now as an animated replay of the scene unfolds, the woman says ERIC IS PROGRAMMED TO FIND TREASURE AND WAS GIVE INSTRUCTIONS WITH SIMPLE WORDS,
SUCH AS TURN AND MOVE AHEAD. BUT DID YOU
KNOW THAT SOMETIMES WE HAVE TO LEARN
A WHOLE NEW LANGUAGE TO COMMUNICATE
WITH ELECTRONIC DEVICES? THERE ARE MANY DIFFERENT
PROGRAMMING OR CODING LANGUAGES
IT'S LIKE A LANGUAGE WE ACCUSE USE TO COMMUNICATE
WITH OTHER PEOPLE. THESE LANGUAGES ALSO HAVE THEIR
OWN VOCABULARY AND GRAMMAR RULES.
PEOPLE LEARN THESE LANGUAGES SO
THEY CAN GIVE INSTRUCTIONS TO COMPUTERS.
As Eric sits and eats his small apple pie, the woman says TRY PLAYING A GRID GAME
AT HOME WITH YOUR FRIENDS. YOU CAN TAKE TURNS
BEING THE ROBOT, WHILE THE OTHERS GIVE INSTRUCTIONS.
YOU CAN EVEN MAKE A RECIPE STEP BY STEP LIKE ERICA
APPLE PIE RECIPE, OR HOW ABOUT DOING
THE STEPS OF A DISTANCE?
As Eric dances, the woman says IT'S NOT MAGIC; IT'S SCIENCE.
The end credits roll.
Rosco says OH, SO FUN!
I'M SURE GLAD ERIC
GOT ALL THE RIGHT INSTRUCTIONS.
IT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN NICE
IF HE KNOCKED OVER THE LAMP
OR TRIPPED ON THE RED CHAIR.
Spencer says THAT'S TRUE, ROSCO.
IF A PROCEDURE HAS MISTAKES,
IT CAN CAUSE BIG PROBLEMS.
Rosco says HEY, MR. DE MAN, I WAS
THINKING ABOUT ANOTHER THING
THAT'S KIND OF LIKE
A PROCEDURE: MUSIC!
WHEN SOMEONE READS THE NOTES,
IT'S LIKE INSTRUCTIONS
TO SING OR PLAY A SONG.
Spencer says NICE, ROSCO!
AND WHEN ONE OF THE STEPS
ISN'T WRITTEN
OR FOLLOWED CORRECTLY,
YOU GET WRONG NOTES
AND TERRIBLE SOUNDS.
Rosco says OH YEAH,
THAT'S REALLY TRUE.
OH, CAN I FOLLOW
A MUSIC PROCEDURE NOW
AND SING A SONG ABOUT
INSTRUCTIONS FOR EVERYONE?
I'M GOING TO
NEED YOUR HELP THOUGH.
Spencer says OF COURSE,
ROSCO, TAKE IT AWAY.
Spencer sings UGH, I'M STUCK,
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO
Wearing a white shirt and a black jacket, Rosco says NEED A TIP,
I'LL GIVE YOU A CLUE
FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS,
BEGIN AT STEP ONE
KEEP GOING STEP BY STEP
BY STEP UNTIL YOU'RE DONE
Spencer sings THIS LOOKS LIKE
A REALLY TOUGH BUILDING SET
Rosco sings IT'S A SUPER DUPER
TURBO AWESOME RAINBOW JET!
Spencer sings HOW WILL YOU KNOW
WHAT PIECES TO USE?
Rosco sings IT CAME
WITH INSTRUCTIONS
THEY WILL
HELP ME CHOOSE
Spencer sings UGH, I'M STUCK,
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO
Rosco sings NEED A TIP?
I'LL GIVE YOU A CLUE
FOLLOWED THE INSTRUCTIONS,
BEGIN AT STEP ONE
KEEP GOING STEP BY STEP
BY STEP UNTIL YOU'RE DONE
Spencer sings YOU'RE ALL DRESSED
UP IN YOUR SNAZZY SUIT
Rosco sings JUST NEED TO TIE
MY TIE BEFORE MY PHOTO SHOOT
Spencer sings WHY DON'T YOU
BORROW A CLIP ON OF MINE?
Rosco sings NO, THANKS, I FOUND
SOME INSTRUCTIONS ONLINE
Spencer sings UGH, I'M STUCK,
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO
Rosco sings NEED A TIP?
I'LL GIVE YOU A CLUE
FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS,
BEGIN AT STEP ONE
KEEP GOING STEP BY STEP
BY STEP UNTIL YOU'RE DONE
Spencer sings WHAT ARE YOU
GOING TO BAKE TODAY?
Rosco sings A TRIPLE LEVEL DOUBLE
CHOCOLATE CAKE, HURRAY!
Spencer sings HOW WILL YOU KNOW
WHAT STEPS TO TAKE?
Rosco sings I'LL USE THE RECIPE,
IT'S A PIECE OF CAKE
Spencer sings UGH, I'M STUCK,
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO
Rosco sings NEED A TIP?
I'LL GIVE YOU A CLUE
FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS,
BEGIN AT STEP ONE
KEEP GOING STEP BY STEP
BY STEP UNTIL YOU'RE DONE
A BIG BOX ARRIVED TODAY,
THEY LEFT IT AT THE ENTRY
Spencer sings IT'S FURNITURE FOR YOU
THAT REQUIRED SOME ASSEMBLY
THREW OUT THE INSTRUCTIONS,
I DID IT MYSELF
Rosco sings IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE YOUR BED
BUT IT LOOKS LIKE A SHELF!
Spencer sings UGH, I'M STUCK,
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO
Rosco says NEED A TIP?
NOW HERE'S A CLUE
FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS
START AT STEP ONE
KEEP GOING STEP BY STEP
BY STEP UNTIL YOU'RE DONE
(dinging)
Next, they appear behind a xylophone.
Spencer says GREAT SONG, ROSCO.
I LIKE THAT YOU
INCLUDED DIFFERENT
TYPES OF PROCEDURES RIGHT
IN YOUR LYRICS.
Rosco says AW, THANK YOU, MR. DE MAN.
I LIKED LEARNING HOW TO CREATE
OUR VIDEO USING INSTRUCTIONS
WE FOUND ONLINE AND...
AND DOING SOME MUSIC
STUFF WITH YOU
REMINDS ME OF WHEN WE'RE
AT SCHOOL AND WE GET TO
USE MUSICAL PROCEDURES TO TEACH
YOUR STUDENTS HOW TO PLAY
INSTRUMENTS LIKE THE XYLOPHONE.
Spencer says OH, YEAH, I DO LIKE THAT.
AND THAT REMINDS ME, THERE'S
AN EPISODE OF
BACKYARD BEATS
THAT FEATURES THE XYLOPHONE.
Rosco gasps and says CAN-- CAN WE WATCH IT?
Spencer says SURE, LET'S TAKE A LISTEN.
(xylophone tinkling)
(music plays)
A TVO Kids and BGM Inc. original.
Monica plays instruments in the studio.
Monica is in her mid-teens, with long wavy brown hair and wears a jean overall and a red T-shirt.
Monica says MY NAME IS MONICA
AND MUSIC IS MY THING.
(PRETEND HORN MUSIC)
Monica says I'M INVITING PRO
MUSICIANS TO MY BACKYARD
FOR EPIC JAM SESSIONS.
A group sings ABSOLUTELY
Monica says ALONG FOR THE RIDE
ARE JUNIOR JAMMERS,
WHO LOVE TO MAKE
SOME NOISE.
(PLAYFUL MUSIC)
Monica says TOGETHER THEY INSPIRE ME
TO MAKE DIY CRAFT-STRUMENTS
FOR THE BIG PERFORMANCE.
A violinist says COUNT US IN.
3.
A trumpeter says 2.
1.
Monica says INSTRUMENTS IN HAND,
WE ALL JOIN IN AND MAKE
SOME BACKYARD BEATS.
The name of the show appears in colourful letters made out of instruments. It reads "Backyard Beats."
In the studio, Monica dances says AND CROUCH!
AND POP, AND LOCK AND FLOSS.
WOW!
AND CROUCH
AND POP, AND LOCK AND FLOSS.
GFORCE MAKES IT LOOK SO EASY!
(chiming)
SPEAKING OF WHICH,
THEY'RE HERE!
POP GIRL GROUP
GFORCE ARE COMING
FOR A XYLOPHONE JAM SESH!
Monica opens the door and five girls come in.
The group says HI!
Monica says GET IN HERE.
(all laughing)
I WAS JUST
WATCHING ONE OF YOUR VIDEOS.
The group says COOL!
Monica says ARE YOU
READY TO TURN UP THE ENERGY
IN THE BACKYARD TO 100?
(cheering)
They do a special greeting and dance and say EY!
OOH, AH, AH, AH! GO! WHOO!
YEAH!
Monica points at everyone of them and says SIENNA,
MICHELA, AVA, SARAH, HOLLY,
YOU ALL HAVE GFORCE ALTER EGOS.
OG says I'M OG, ALSO KNOWN
AS OVER-PREPARED GIRL,
AND I LIKE TO KEEP THINGS
ORGANIZED AND IN CHECK.
Boss G says I'M BOSS G, BECAUSE
I LIKE TO BE IN CHARGE.
Speedy G says MY NAME IS SPEEDY G.
TRY TO KEEP UP!
Hype G says I AM HYPE G AND I KEEP
THE PARTY GOING!
The group says YEAH!
Zen G says AND I'M THE FLIP,
ZEN G IS MY NAME, NAMASTE.
Monica says I WANT TO BE A G!
WHAT DO YOU THINK I COULD BE?
The group gathers and whispers.
OG says MONICA, YOU ARE CRAFTY G,
BECAUSE YOU KEEP THE BEAT GOING
WITH YOUR DIY INSTRUMENTS.
Monica says WHOO! CRAFTY G!
YOU GUYS READY
FOR A GAME OF MOST LIKELY TO?
The group cheers.
Monica says MOST LIKELY
TO EAT THE LAST COOKIE?
The group points to Hype G.
Hype G says I WOULD EAT
ALL THE COOKIES, DEFINITELY.
OG says WE HAVE TO
HIDE COOKIES FROM HER.
Monica says MOST LIKELY
TO FALL ASLEEP ANYWHERE?
They point to Zen G.
Speedy G says SHE FALLS
ASLEEP IN EVERY CAR RIDE.
Monica says MOST LIKELY
TO BE ON THEIR PHONE?
They point to Speedy G.
Monica says MOST LIKELY TO BREAK
OUT INTO SPONTANEOUS DANCING?
They point to Hype G.
A girl says HOLLY.
Hype G says AND DANCE, AND DANCE...
They all dance.
OG says SEE, IT'S VERY CONTAGIOUS.
(all laughing)
Monica says MOST LIKELY TO RELEASE
A CERTIFIED GOLD RECORD?
OG says HOPEFULLY ALL OF US!
Monica says DEFINITELY!
I HAVE A XYLOPHONE
CRAFT-STRUMENT TO BUILD.
I'LL SEE YOU GUYS AT THE JAM.
Hype G says SEE YOU IN A BIT.
OG says WE'RE GOING TO
GET OUR XYLO BEAST.
Speedy G says WOOHOO!
Three animated rock star rocks appear.
The guitar player rock says IT'S A XYLOPHONE JAM
WITH A WHOLE LOT OF GFORCE.
The bass player rock says IT'S GONNA GO OFF!
Rockelle says LIKE OUTER-SPACE STYLE.
The guitar player rock says THEY ARE
TOTALLY GOING TO ROCKET.
GET IT? ROCK IT!
Rockelle says OH, YEAH. WE GET IT.
The bass player rock says MONICA IS ABOUT TO MAKE
HER XYLOPHONE FOR THE JAM.
The guitar player rock says DO YOU THINK SHE WILL
PLAY SOME NEP-TUNES? HEHE!
Monica stands behind the craft table and says YEP, I'M FEELING PRETTY HANDY.
PLUMBING PROBLEMS, FAULTY
WIRING, WONKY CRANK SHIP.
I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT
THAT IS, BUT I'LL FIX IT.
'CAUSE I'VE GOT...
(metal rattling)
NINE WRENCHES!
I'M ALL ABOUT BEING
PREPARED FOR FIXING STUFF OR...
XYLOPHONE.
(discordant prattling)
She uses the wrenches as if she were playing a xylophone.
She says YEAH, THAT'S PRETTY BAD.
LET'S GET TO THE BEAT.
I'M GOING TO HOLD
OFF ON THE HEAVY METAL
AND GET STARTED WITH THIS.
IT LOOKS LIKE A PIPE,
BUT IT'S A PIPE COVER,
A WHOLE OTHER DEAL.
I'M ALSO USING
SCISSORS, STRING, PLASTICINE,
TWO DOWELS
AND THESE AWESOME BEADS.
CRAFT-STRUMENT TIME!
A slate reads "Arranging the bars."
She says FIRST, CUT
TWO PIECES OF THE PIPE COVER.
A PIPE COVER IS LIKE
A SWEATER FOR YOUR PIPES.
GUESS PIPES
GET CHILLY. BRRR. WHO KNEW?
NOW I'M LOOKING FOR THE SEAM,
WHERE THE PIPE COVER SPLITS.
THEN I'LL OPEN IT UP.
GOTTA MAKE ROOM FOR THOSE
WRENCHES. WRENCH TIME!
I'M STARTING
WITH THE BIGGEST ONE,
ALTHOUGH
TECHNICALLY IT'S AN IDIOPHONE.
"HEY, WHO YOU CALLING
AN IDIOPHONE?" RELAX.
IDIOPHONE JUST MEANS
AN INSTRUMENT THAT MAKES
SOUND WHEN IT IS STRUCK.
IT'S A VIBRATE-Y THING.
RANDOM WORD OF THE DAY.
"IDIOPHONE!"
YOU GOT IT.
I'M INSERTING THE WRENCH INTO
THE COVER RIGHT ABOUT HERE.
I'VE GOT TO
LEAVE ROOM FOR THE REST
OF THE WRENCH, BAM,
ONE BY ONE THEY WILL ALL
FIT IN FROM
BIGGEST TO SMALLEST.
THE SMALLER THE WRENCH,
THE HIGHER THE SOUND.
HEY, THERE ADORBS BABY WRENCH,
YOU GO IN THE END, LITTLE GUY!
A Wrench says YAY!
She says NEXT, STRING.
HMM. I NEED
SOMETHING REALLY STRONG HERE.
(hissing)
She sprays the camera.
(upbeat pop-rock music)
She shows a yellow string and says I MEAN THIS TYPE OF STRING,
GUYS, OBVI.
The slate changes to "Tying it together."
She says I'M TYING A KNOT HERE
RIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUBE.
IN FACT, TO MAKE IT
MORE SECURE, LET'S TIE TWO.
NOW I'M GOING TO WEAVE
THAT STRING DOWN THE TUBE.
I'M GOING AROUND THE WRENCHES
TO MAKE 'EM STAY PUT.
I DON'T WANT WRENCHES
FLYING AROUND WHILE I PLAY.
THAT COULD SERIOUSLY CRAMP
MY JAM SESSION STYLE. ALSO, OW!
I'LL MAKE
SURE THE STRING IS TIGHT
AND THEN I'LL TIE IT OFF HERE.
THAT'S A PERFECT KNOT. NOT!
THAT KNOT IS NOT KNOT WORTHY.
IT'S NOT KNOTTED ENOUGH.
THAT'S A LOT OF KNOTS. NOW,
I'LL START ON THE OTHER SIDE.
REMEMBER WHEN I STUCK
THE ENDS OF THE WRENCHES
INTO THE PIPE COVER?
NOW I'LL DO THE SAME
WITH THE HEADS.
WAIT, DO WRENCHES HAVE HEADS?
IT'S THIS BIT.
I'LL OPEN THE TUBE,
THEN SLIDE THEM IN HERE.
THE TUBE'S ON
AN ANGLE, SINCE THE WRENCHES
ARE ALL DIFFERENT LENGTHS.
IF THEY WEREN'T,
IT WOULDN'T BE A XYLOPHONE.
IT WOULD BE, UH, A BUNCH
OF OLD WRENCHES. BORING!
NOW, THEY'RE IN AT
BOTH ENDS, SO THIS NEXT PART
IS REALLY SHOCKING.
YOU'LL NEVER GUESS WHAT IT IS.
I'LL GIVE YOU ONE CLUE.
(spray hissing)
She says YOU GUESSED IT. STRING!
GOTTA WEAVE LIKE BEFORE.
I'LL START WITH MY
KNOT AND THEN GO BACK
AND FORTH GETTING
THEM NICE AND TIGHT.
IT'S COMING TOGETHER.
NOW WHAT SHOULD I PLAY IT WITH?
A TOOTHBRUSH?
(soft twanging)
A FLOWER?
(flapping)
OH, I KNOW. MY SHOE.
(metallic thumping)
UH, HOW
ABOUT I JUST MAKE A MALLET?
USUALLY, A MALLET HEAD WOULD
BE RUBBER, OR MAYBE EVEN WOOD,
BUT I'M WORKING WITH WHAT
I'VE GOT, WHICH IS PLASTICINE,
A COUPLE OF DOWELS
AND THESE AWESOME BEADS.
INSTEAD OF THE DOWEL,
A CHOPSTICK COULD WORK, TOO.
NOW, I'M ROLLING A TINY
PIECE OF PLASTICINE.
IT GOES ON THE END OF THE DOWEL
AND GETS INSERTED
INTO THE BEAD.
MAKE SURE IT'S STUCK.
MAN, PLASTICINE IS MAGIC!
THESE BEADS ARE
NOT GOING ANYWHERE
EXCEPT TO TOWN
ON THIS XYLOPHONE!
WOOHOO!
(clinking)
She plays her crafted xylophone.
She says ONE NOTE MAKES
A MELODY, BUT TWO
NOTES TAKES IT TO A HARMONY.
I THINK THIS
CRAFT-STRUMENT IS SO AMAZING.
LET'S POP IN ON
MY BUDDY, CALVIN,
AND WATCH HIM GO TO
TOWN ON HIS XYLOPHONE.
A caption reads "Calvin. Junior Jammer." Calvin is around 12 years old. He has long curly brown hair. He wears a blue jacket over a patterned T-shirt and braces.
Calvin says I'M CALVIN
AND I PLAY THE XYLOPHONE.
(soft, rhythmic tinkling)
HERE ARE MY FIVE FAST FACTS.
MY FAVOURITE SPORT IS SOCCER.
I'M A VERY SLOW EATER.
I'VE BEEN TO PANAMA TEN
TIMES, ALWAYS ON MY BIRTHDAY.
I HAVE A BUSINESS WITH MY
SISTER THAT SELLS CUPCAKES.
I WAS THE YOUNGEST MEMBER
TO EVER JOIN MY YOUTH BAND.
BONUS FACT,
I LOVE TO PLAY THE XYLOPHONE.
The slate changes to "First Notes."
Calvin plays "Fur Elise" on the piano.
Calvin says THE VERY FIRST INSTRUMENT
I EVER LEARNED WAS THE PIANO.
PLAYING THE XYLOPHONE IS
EXACTLY THE SAME AS PLAYING
THE PIANO, BUT JUST WITH
TWO MALLETS INSTEAD OF FINGERS.
The caption changes to "The Set-up."
He says THIS IS MY MINI XYLOPHONE,
ALSO CALLED THE BELLS.
THESE ARE THE TWO
MALLETS THAT I PLAY WITH.
THESE ARE THE BARS. EACH
OF THEM PLAYS A DIFFERENT NOTE.
THE SMALLER, THE HIGHER.
(sharp tinkling)
AND THE LARGER, THE LOWER.
(deep tinkling)
The caption changes to "Living the dream."
Calvin says I'D LOVE TO BE IN MORE
BANDS PLAYING THE XYLOPHONE.
MY DREAM FOR PLAYING
THE XYLOPHONE IS TO
PLAY WITH MORE
THAN TWO MALLETS.
I SAW A VIDEO ONCE WITH A GUY
PLAYING WITH EIGHT MALLETS.
IT WAS REALLY COOL.
TOP TIPS.
TIP ONE: MAKE SURE
YOU'RE HOLDING THE MALLETS
JUST RIGHT
BEFORE YOU START PLAYING,
AND BOTH HANDS NEED
TO BE EXACTLY THE SAME.
TIP TWO:
LEARN HOW TO READ MUSIC.
IT'LL REALLY HELP,
AND TIP THREE IS TO PRACTICE.
MAKE SOME NOISE!
He plays the xylophone in a park.
(crowd applauding)
Back to animation, the guitar player rock says CALVIN CAN REALLY
HIT IT ON THE XYLOPHONE!
On drums, Rockelle says IT DOESN'T STOP THERE. THE JAM
WITH GFORCE IS COMING UP.
The bass rock player says STRAP IN, TAKE OFF
IN T-MINUS TEN SECONDS.
The guitar player rock says OH, NO, I DON'T LIKE HEIGHTS!
Rockelle says HERE'S GFORCE
WITH CALVIN AND MONICA.
The bass rock player says GET READY TO LAUNCH.
The guitar player rock whimpers.
At the studio, Monica says MY DIY XYLOPHONE
IS READY TO ROCK.
NOTHING LIKE ADDING A LITTLE
PAINT TO BRIGHTEN THINGS UP.
EVERYBODY READY?
The group says YEAH!
OG yells LET'S DO IT!
Monica says COUNT US IN, CALVIN.
Calvin says ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR!
Monica, GFORCE and Calvin play the xylophone.
GFORCE sings IT'S GFORCE"
They sing YO, WHY WOULD YOU
GIVE ME ADVICE LIKE THAT?
WHY WOULD YOU DO IT?
JUST STOP
'CAUSE I DON'T
WANT TO BE NO COPYCAT
NO, I WOULDN'T
WANT TO BE THAT
MAYBE YOU
THINK WE'RE TOO YOUNG
WE'RE GOING TO DO
WHAT'S NEVER BEEN DONE
'CAUSE WE'RE THE BOSS'S BOSS
AND WE CAN WALK THE WALK
WE'RE COMFORTABLE
LIKE THAT
WE'RE MILES AWAY
UH-HUH, UH-HUH
'CAUSE ALMOST EVERY DAY
THERE'S ALWAYS
BIGGER BETTER THINGS
THAT SOMEBODY WILL SAY
SO WE KEEP WORKING,
'CAUSE WE DON'T WANNA PLAY
IT'S GFORCE
YO, WHY WOULD YOU GET
ALL MY THOUGHTS OFF TRACK?
YO, WHY WOULD
YOU WANT TO DO THAT?
'CAUSE WE DON'T
WANNA BE NO COPYCATS
WHY WOULD I WANNA BE THAT?
I WOULD NEVER
BE A BOSSY BOSS
BUT WE CAN
GET SALTY LIKE SOYA SAUCE
AND IT GETS BETTER,
YOU JUST GOTTA WAIT
WE'RE MILES AWAY
UH-HUH, UH-HUH
'CAUSE ALMOST EVERY DAY
UH-HUH, UH-HUH
THERE'S ALWAYS
BIGGER, BETTER THINGS
THAT SOMEBODY WILL SAY
SO WE KEEP WORKING
'CAUSE WE DON'T WANNA PLAY
IT'S GFORCE
WE'RE GONNA DO
OUR OWN THING
UH-HUH, UH-HUH
SOMEBODY RING THE ALARM
UH-HUH, UH-HUH
WE'RE GONNA DO OUR OWN THING
UH-HUH, UH-HUH
AND BREAK ALL
THE RULES 'TIL THEY'RE GONE
UH-HUH, UH-HUH
WE'RE GONNA DO OUR OWN THING
UH-HUH, UH-HUH
SOMEBODY RING THE ALARM
UH-HUH, UH-HUH
WE'RE GONNA DO OUR OWN THING
IT'S GFORCE
The end credits roll.
(all cheering)
Spencer helps Rosco play the xylophone.
Rosco says OH, OKAY, OKAY,

WHEN WE'RE PRACTICING.
WE SLOW IT DOWN.
Rosco says OH, OKAY, OKAY, OKAY.
C, D, E, F,
G, A, B, C.
YEAH!
OH, I DID IT.
Spencer says YEAH, VERY GOOD, ROSCO.
NOW YOU CAN HAVE

I THINK WE HAVE TODAY, ROSCO.
Rosco says OH, GOD, CAN-- CAN
I THANK OUR FRIENDS AT HOME?
Spencer says OF COURSE YOU CAN.
Rosco says OH, THANK YOU EVERYONE
WATCHING
AT HOME, AT SCHOOL OR ONLINE.
I REALLY ENJOYED
LEARNING WITH YOU TODAY.
Spencer says SAME HERE, ROSCO,
AND THAT'S IT FOR THIS EPISODE
OF TVOKIDS
POWER HOUR OF LEARNING.
REMEMBER TO GET
AWAY FROM THOSE SCREENS,
AND SPEND SOME TIME OUTSIDE.
Rosco says OH, OH,

A final slate reads "TVO Kids would like to thank all the teachers involved in the Power Hour of Learning as they continue to teach the children of Ontario from their homes."
The caption changes to "Copyright 2021. The Ontario Educational Communications Authority."
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:
HOW DO YOU DO THAT?
A caption reads "Junior 4-6. Teacher Spencer." Spencer sits in a living room full of objects. He is in his early thirties, with a short beard and brown hair. He wears glasses, a gray shirt with a black collar and headphones. He holds a puppet.
Spencer says HELLO STUDENTS FROM ACROSS
ONTARIO WATCHING ON TVOKIDS,
AND EVERYWHERE AND
ANYWHERE WATCHING ONLINE.
THIS IS ANOTHER EPISODE OF
THE
POWER HOUR OF LEARNING.
MY NAME IS SPENCER DE MAN.
Rosco is a blue puppet with pink hair and a big purple nose. He wears a pink hoodie.
With a deep voice, Rosco says AND MY NAME IS ROSCO,
AND BEFORE WE START TODAY,
UM, MR. DE MAN,
I WAS HOPING YOU WOULD TRY THIS
GAME I MADE FOR US TO PLAY.
Spencer says SURE, I THINK WE COULD
SQUEEZE A LITTLE IN.
Rosco says OKAY, OKAY, YOU GO FIRST.
Spencer says UM...
ROSCO, I-- I DON'T KNOW
WHAT TO DO. IT'S YOUR GAME.
Rosco says OH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH! OKAY.
ROLL THE DICE
AND MOVE YOUR PIECE.
YOU CAN BE YELLOW.
Spencer says OKAY.
LET'S SEE.
OH! THERE WE GO.
I ROLLED A TWO.
Rosco says OKAY, OKAY.
GO TWO SPACES.
Spencer says ONE, TWO.
Rosco says OKAY, YOU'RE NOT DONE.
Spencer says WHAT DO YOU MEAN I'M NOT DONE?
Rosco says WELL, NOW BECAUSE YOU LANDED
ON PINK, YOU GET TO GO AGAIN,
'CAUSE PINK IS AWESOME!
BUT IF YOU ROLL A TWO AGAIN,
YOU LOSE THE GAME.
IF YOU ROLL A SIX, YOU GET
TO GO ALL THE WAY TO THE END,
BUT IF YOU ROLL A FOUR,
YOU HAVE TO GO BACKWARDS.
Spencer says UH, ROSCO, THIS IS
SOUNDING REALLY CONFUSING.
HAVE YOU CREATED RULES
OR INSTRUCTIONS TO FOLLOW?
Rosco says NO, I WAS JUST GOING TO
MAKE IT UP AS WE GO,
SO-- SO I COULD WIN FOR SURE!
Spencer says ROSCO, THAT DOESN'T
SOUND LIKE IT'LL BE VERY FUN,
AND DOESN'T SOUND
VERY FAIR AT ALL.
Rosco says OH. OH, MAN.
Spencer says YOU SEE, GAMES NEED
RULES AND CLEAR INSTRUCTIONS
FOR ALL PLAYERS TO FOLLOW.
BUT YOU'RE IN LUCK TODAY,
ROSCO, BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT
I WAS PLANNING ON
TEACHING OUR STUDENTS.
WE'RE GOING TO LEARN
HOW TO WRITE A PROCEDURE.
Rosco says WOW, MR. DE MAN!
IT'S REALLY LUCKY THAT
YOU'RE ALWAYS TEACHING
SOMETHING ABOUT MY PROBLEMS!
Spencer says SURE IS, ROSCO.
NOW, LET'S GET OUR MINDS ON
WITH AN EPISODE
OF
GASTRO BLASTS.
AND PAY CLOSE ATTENTION,
BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO USE
WHAT WE SEE IN THE EPISODE
FOR OUR WORK TODAY.
Rosco says AWESOME!
I HOPE WE CAN LEARN
HOW TO MAKE SOMETHING YUMMY.
The theme song plays.
Doors with show logo slide open. The logo shows a banana and a yellow triangle with black stripes.
A clip shows images of Link making recipes in the kitchen. Link is in his twenties, with short wavy black hair. He wears a black T-shirt with a print on the front.
Pop Star Link appears behind a D.J. tray with tomato slices as records.
Pop Star Link is in his twenties, with short wavy brown hair. He wears an unbuttoned black shirt over a white T-shirt, a purple hat and a headset.
By changing outfits, he turns into Pop Start Link 2 and 3.
Captain Cook appears on a pirate ship clashing spoons with a skeleton.
Captain Cook has a beard, long braided hair, and wears a pirate hat.
An animated Link rides a bike across the screen.
I.Q pops up in the lab. She is in her twenties, with long wavy brown hair in a ponytail. She wears a white T-shirt with a print on the front.
Detective Link appears in an interrogation room. He wears a beige coat and a black hat.
Chip Dippington appears behind a desk. He wears a suit and a headset and hold notes.
Gastro Bob pops up on top of a plant. He has curly white hair and wears a lab coat.
Then, Secret Agent Man blasts off. He is bald and wears a dark suit and sunglasses.
Now animated Link mixes substances in a flask and the flask explodes.
The logo of the show appears with the title "Gastro Blast" in blue letters.
The curtain rolls and the announcer says FOR TODAY'S RECIPE,
LINK WILL BE JOINED BY:
IQ,
GASTRO BOB,
AND YAR CAPTAIN COOK.
I.Q., Gastro Bob and Captain Cook pop up inside bubbles on the screen.
The announcer says AND BACKED UP AS ALWAYS BY:
GUINEA PAGE AND THE
ANIMAL CRACKERS!
A band of animals appears on stage. A duck plays the drums, a rabbit plays the keyboards, a white and gray rodent plays the guitar and brown rodent sings.
(music plays)
In the kitchen, Link says TODAY WE'RE
GONNA MAKE DILL PICKLES
AND PICKLED CARROTS!
NOT ONLY ARE THEY DELICIOUS
BUT THEY'RE SUPER EASY TO MAKE!
SO LET'S GET STARTED!
TO MAKE DILL PICKLES,
HERE'S WHAT YOU'LL NEED...
1 ENGLISH CUCUMBER,
THINLY SLICED
3 QUARTERS OF A CUP OF WHITE VINEGAR
A THIRD CUP OF COARSELY CHOPPED DILL
2 GARLIC CLOVES,
COARSELY CHOPPED
2 TEASPOONS OF KOSHER SALT
2 TABLESPOONS OF
GRANULATED SUGAR
HALF A TEASPOON OF MUSTARD SEEDS.
The ingredients pop up on the counter top as he mentions them.
Link says I BET YA DIDN'T KNOW,
THE PICKLES YOU USUALLY
THINK OF ARE MADE FROM CUCUMBER!
THEIR TASTE AND
TEXTURE ARE DIFFERENT,
THAT'S BECAUSE
THEY'VE BEEN PICKLED!
ISN'T THAT RIGHT, I.Q.?
A slate appears with a test tube for an "I" and a "Q" in purple.
In the lab, I.Q. says THAT'S RIGHT, LINK.
PICKLES AREN'T A VEGETABLE;
THEY'RE A PROCESS.
PICKLING IS THE PROCESS OF
PRESERVING FOODS IN SALT
AND OR VINEGAR
SO THEY DON'T SPOIL.
PICKLING HAS BEEN AROUND
FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS,
LONG BEFORE THE INVENTION
OF REFRIGERATORS.
(music plays)
In his ship, Captain Cook says YAR!
PICKLING'S HOW WE KEEP OUR
PIRATE GRUB FROM SPOILING
DURING LONG VOYAGES.
THIS HERE PICKLE BARREL
IS FULL OF STUFF!
A PIRATE PICKS
A PECK OF PICKLED PEPPERS,
THAN A PECK OF PICKLED
PEPPERS A PIRATE WOULD PICK.
[chuckles]
Link says WE'LL NEED SOMETHING
TO CONTAIN OUR PICKLES...
[whispering] ANY SUGGESTIONS,
SECRET AGENT MAN?
On a radio, Link says ANY SUGGESTIONS,
SECRET AGENT MAN?
[laser]
Secret Agent Man takes a pipette out of his pocket and drops some liquid on two pickling jars on a table.
The jars disappear and reappear on the kitchen counter top.
Link says PICKLING JARS?
THAT'S A GREAT IDEA,
SECRET AGENT MAN!
THANKS!
THESE 500 MIL JARS WILL
BE PERFECT FOR OUR PICKLES!
PICKLING JARS, ALSO
KNOWN AS CANNING JARS
COME IN THREE HANDY PIECES...
THE JAR,
THE LID,
AND THE RING TO KEEP
ALL OUR CONTENTS SEALED.
EVEN THOUGH THESE JARS HAVE
BEEN WASHED BEFORE WE USE THEM,
WE STILL NEED TO
PROPERLY PREPARE THEM
TO MAKE OUR PICKLES.
Gastro Bob says GADZOOKS!
SOUNDS LIKE AN OPPORTUNITY
TO DO SOME STERILIZING.
THE STERILIZING PROCESS SHOULD
DO THE TRICK OF KILLING OFF
ANY BACTERIA THAT COULD
SPOIL LINK'S PICKLES.
Link says THAT'S A GREAT
IDEA GASTRO BOB!
WE'LL HEAT THESE
PICKLE JARS IN THE OVEN
FOR ABOUT TWENTY
MINUTES AT 275 DEGREES.
Link puts the jars in a cooking pan with aluminum foil and puts them in the oven.
Link says NOW, WE'LL
PUT OUR LIDS AND SEALS
IN SOME BOILING HOT WATER.
AND LET THEM SIMMER.
LAB RAT,
SPEED DIAL PLEASE!
(music plays)
Lab Rat speeds up the time as the band plays.
Link says NOW, LET'S START PICKLING!
THERE'S MANY DIFFERENT
KINDS OF VINEGARS:
BALSAMIC,
RED WINE VINEGAR,
APPLE CIDER VINEGAR.
BUT FOR TODAY'S RECIPE WE'RE
GONNA USE WHITE VINEGAR.
THAT'S BECAUSE IT'S CLEAR.
WE DON'T WANT OUR PICKLES
TO ABSORB THE COLOUR
OF THE VINEGAR.
In the lab, I.Q. says YOU KNOW
WHAT ELSE CAN STAIN?
ALUMINUM BOWLS.
VINEGAR IS ACIDIC.
IF YOU MIX UP YOUR BRINE
IN AN ALUMINUM BOWL,
IT CAN REACT TO THE VINEGAR
AND BECOME DISCOLORED.
AND YOUR PICKLES CAN GET
AN UNWANTED METALLIC TASTE.
NON-REACTIVE COOKWARE IS MADE
FROM MATERIALS, LIKE GLASS,
THAT DON'T REACT TO
THE ACIDITY IN FOODS,
SUCH AS TOMATOES OR LEMON
JUICE AND EVEN PICKLES.
Link says THANKS FOR THE TIP, I.Q.!
THE ONLY REACTION WE WANT
IS FOR THIS CUCUMBER TO
TRANSFORM INTO A PICKLE!
WE'LL ADD OUR MUSTARD,
AND OUR SUGAR.
THE WARM VINEGAR WILL HELP
THE SUGAR DISSOLVE BETTER.
HMM...
TWO TEASPOONS OF SALT DOES
SEEM PRETTY SALTY THOUGH...
I.Q. says SALT IS A SUPER MINERAL!
WHEN IT'S USED FOR
FLAVOURING IN FOOD,
YOU CAN ADJUST IT TO YOUR
TASTE OR CUT IT OUT ENTIRELY.
BUT WHEN IT COMES TO PICKLING,
SALT IS ABSOLUTELY
NECESSARY.
THAT'S BECAUSE
SALT IS A PRESERVATIVE
AND INHIBITS THE
GROWTH OF BAD BACTERIA.
SO DON'T CUT BACK ON THE SALT
WHEN FOLLOWING A RECIPE
FOR PICKLES.
AND JUST AS IMPORTANT:
USE THE TYPE OF SALT
NAMED IN THE RECIPE.
IN THIS CASE: KOSHER SALT.
REGULAR TABLE SALT CONTAINS
ANTI-CAKING AGENTS.
Secret Agent man pushes away a piece of cake and shakes his head.
I.Q. says I DON'T MEAN A SECRET
AGENT WHO IS AGAINST CAKE.
ANTI-CAKING AGENTS ARE ADDITIVES
ADDED TO DRY INGREDIENTS
SUCH AS SALT AND ICING SUGAR TO
KEEP THEM FROM CLUMPING.
IF YOUR SALT HAS
ANTI-CAKING AGENTS,
IT CAN MAKE YOUR LIQUID CLOUDY.
Link says THIS KOSHER SALT HAS NO
ANTI-CAKING ADDITIVES TO IT.
THANKS FOR THE TIP, I.Q.!
STIR ALL YOUR INGREDIENTS
UNTIL THE SALT AND SUGAR
HAVE DISSOLVED.
The band plays.
Link says THIS IS CALLED A BRINE.
A BRINE IS WHEN YOU
DISSOLVE SALT IN A LIQUID!
WE WANT ALL OUR
PICKLES TO BE THE SAME SIZE,
SO WE'RE CUTTING
THEM INTO "COINS."
Captain Cook grabs his treasure and says UH-UH, NO WAY, LINK!
YOU CAN'T PICKLE ME GOLD COINS!
THIS BE PIRATE BOOTY!
YAR!
Link says DON'T WORRY, CAPTAIN COOK!
A COIN IS JUST A TERM FOR
CUTTING VEGETABLES
LIKE CUCUMBERS, OR ZUCCHINIS,
OR CARROTS, CROSSWISE.
INTO "ROUNDS" OR "RONDELLES."
Captain Cook says GOOD,
BECAUSE THESE GOLD
COINS BE NOT VERY TASTY!
He bites a coin.
[crunch]
Link says NO PROBLEM, CAPTAIN COOK.
WE'LL HAVE A BOUNTY
OF TASTY TREASURE TO SHARE
ONCE WE FINISH
MAKING THESE PICKLES.
HMM.
I WONDER HOW ALL THESE PICKLES
ARE GOING TO STAY PRESERVED?
HEY IQ?
I.Q. says PRESERVING FRESH FOOD
IS A SCIENTIFIC BALANCING ACT
BETWEEN KEEPING HARMFUL BACTERIA
FROM SPOILING OUR FOOD,
AND LOCKING IN NUTRIENTS THROUGH
THE HELP OF SALT AND VINEGAR.
WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE
PROCESS OF PICKLING IS THIS.
FIRST, THE SALTY SOLUTION
DRAWS MOISTURE OUT OF THE FOOD,
PRESERVING IT AND KEEPING
IT SAFE FROM BACTERIA.
THAT ACTION OF THE BRINE MOVING
ACROSS THE FOOD'S CELL WALLS
IS CALLED OSMOSIS.
An animation shows the processes of osmosis and diffusion on a blackboard behind her.
She says SECOND, THE SALT,
VINEGAR AND SEASONINGS
SPREAD INTO THE FOOD'S CELL
WALLS AND CHANGE ITS TASTE.
THAT'S CALLED DIFFUSION.
Gastro Bob says SO WITH PICKLING,
OSMOSIS MOVES THE NATURAL
MOISTURE OUT OF THE CUCUMBER.
AND DIFFUSION MOVES THE FLAVOUR
IN, GIVING THAT PICKLED TASTE!
Link says THANKS, GASTRO BOB!
WE'LL KEEP THESE PICKLES
IN THE FRIDGE FOR A FEW HOURS,
OR OVERNIGHT, BEFORE
THEY'RE READY TO EAT...
BUT AFTER THAT, THEY'LL
BE PICKLED AND PRESERVED!
KEEP YOUR PICKLES IN THE
FRIDGE AT A COLD TEMPERATURE
TO KEEP BACTERIA AT BAY.
Rosco says OH, WOW, THOSE LOOK YUMMY!
CAN WE TRY TO MAKE THOSE
AT HOME, MR. DE MAN?
Spencer says FOR SURE, ROSCO.
ALL WE NEED TO DO IS WRITE
THE RECIPE FIRST.
Rosco says WHAT?
HOW ARE WE GOING TO DO THAT?
Spencer says WELL, THE EPISODE
SHOWED US WHAT TO DO.
WE NEED TO TAKE THAT
INFORMATION AND WRITE IT DOWN
INTO A PROCEDURE
FOR PEOPLE TO FOLLOW.
Rosco says AND THAT'S THE RECIPE?
Spencer says EXACTLY. FOLLOW ALONG.
Rosco says OKAY!
Now, Spencer sits next to a white board with a text.
Spencer says SO TODAY, WE'RE GOING TO
LEARN HOW TO WRITE A PROCEDURE.
A PROCEDURE HAS
FOUR MAIN PARTS.
THERE'S THE TITLE:
WHAT ARE THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR?
THERE'S THE PURPOSE: WHAT IS
THE REASON FOR THE PROCEDURE?
He points to the board and continues MATERIALS:
WHAT IS NEEDED?
AND THEN YOUR INSTRUCTIONS,
WHICH WILL BE A SET
OF NUMBERED INSTRUCTIONS.
ONE, TWO, THREE, HOWEVER MANY
YOU NEED FOR YOUR PROCEDURE.
SO FIRST, LET'S TALK ABOUT
THE TITLE. GIVE YOUR PROCEDURE
A DESCRIPTIVE TITLE
THAT STARTS WITH
"A PROCEDURE FOR..."
WHATEVER YOU'RE DOING,
OR "INSTRUCTIONS FOR..."
WHATEVER YOU'RE DOING AS WELL.
IF THE PROCEDURE IS
FOR A SCIENCE EXPERIMENT,
A DESCRIPTIVE TITLE
CAN START WITH
"A PROCEDURE FOR
INVESTIGATING EARTHWORMS,"
OR "A PROCEDURE
FOR AN EXPERIMENT
FOR BUILDING
SOMETHING REALLY TALL."
IF IT'S A BOARD GAME, INCLUDE
THE TITLE OF YOUR BOARD GAME.
BUT AVOID SPENDING
TOO MUCH TIME ON THE TITLE.
IF YOU'RE STUCK,
YOU CAN ALWAYS CHANGE IT LATER.
SOMETIMES GOOD TITLES WILL
COME TO YOU AS YOU'RE WORKING.
THE NEXT THREE PARTS
ARE PURPOSE,
MATERIALS,
AND INSTRUCTIONS.
EACH PART SHOULD BE GIVEN
A SUBHEADING SO THE READER
KNOWS WHAT INFORMATION
THEY WILL FIND UNDER EACH.
THE PURPOSE WITH
A BRIEF EXPLANATION OF THE GOAL
OF THE PROCEDURE,
ONE OR TWO SENTENCES.
MATERIALS, IN POINT FORM,
YOU'LL LIST WHAT YOU NEED.
AND THE INSTRUCTIONS,
A NUMBER FOR EACH IN
THE SET OF INSTRUCTIONS.
SO, AGAIN:
ONE, TWO, THREE, AND SO ON.
Holding Rosco, he continues NOW, ROSCO, I WANT YOU
TO FIND THE INFORMATION
SO YOU CAN START TO WRITE
A PROCEDURE FOR MAKING PICKLES
LIKE LINK DID,
FROM
GASTRO BLAST.
Rosco says OKAY, I BETTER GET TO WORK.
UM... SO I NEED
TO FIND THE INFORMATION
FOR EACH PART OF MY PROCEDURE.
THE TITLE, THE PURPOSE,
MATERIALS, AND INSTRUCTIONS.
HMM.
I THINK I SHOULD PROBABLY
REWATCH SOME OF THE EPISODE
TO FIND THE INFORMATION.
Spencer says GREAT IDEA, ROSCO.
Rosco says OKAY, I THINK
THE TITLE AND PURPOSE
MIGHT BE
NEAR THE BEGINNING.
LET'S WATCH.
In the kitchen, Link says TODAY WE'RE
GONNA MAKE DILL PICKLES
AND PICKLED CARROTS!
NOT ONLY ARE THEY DELICIOUS
BUT THEY'RE SUPER EASY TO MAKE!
SO LET'S GET STARTED!
TO MAKE DILL PICKLES,
HERE'S WHAT YOU'LL NEED...
1 ENGLISH CUCUMBER,
THINLY SLICED
3 QUARTERS OF A CUP OF WHITE VINEGAR
A THIRD CUP OF COARSELY CHOPPED DILL
2 GARLIC CLOVES,
COARSELY CHOPPED
2 TEASPOONS OF KOSHER SALT
2 TABLESPOONS OF
GRANULATED SUGAR
HALF A TEASPOON OF MUSTARD SEEDS.
Now, Rosco stands next to a white board with a list.
Rosco says OH, THAT WAS PERFECT!
I GOT THE TITLE, PURPOSE,
AND THE MATERIALS I'LL NEED.
OKAY, MY TITLE IS...
UM, UM,
"HOW TO MAKE DILL PICKLES."
YEAH,
I THINK THAT SOUNDS RIGHT.
MY PURPOSE-- UM, WELL,
THE PURPOSE OF THIS PROCEDURE
IS TO HELP ME
MAKE PICKLES AT HOME!
AND THEN LINK SAID
ALL THE INGREDIENTS,
AND I THINK
THAT'S MY MATERIALS.
SO, UM, I NEED
ONE ENGLISH CUCUMBER,
THREE-QUARTERS OF A CUP
OF WHITE VINEGAR,
ONE-THIRD OF A CUP
OF COARSELY CHOPPED DILL,
TWO GARLIC CLOVES,
TWO TEASPOONS OF KOSHER SALT,
TWO TABLESPOONS
OF GRANULATED SUGAR,
AND ONE TEASPOON
OF MUSTARD SEED.
OH, WOW.
OKAY, NOW I SHOULD KEEP
WATCHING AND FIGURE OUT
WHAT I SHOULD WRITE
FOR MY INSTRUCTIONS.
I THINK THIS IS GOING
TO TAKE ME A LITTLE WHILE.
I'LL FINISH UP MY WORK,
WHILE ALL OF YOU AT HOME
AND ONLINE
WATCH THE REST
OF
GASTRO BLAST.
ENJOY!
Link says I CAN'T WAIT TO EAT
THOSE CRUNCHY DILL PICKLES.
I LOVE PICKLING!
IN FACT, I LOVE
PICKLING SO MUCH,
I'M GONNA SHOW YOU ANOTHER
RECIPE FOR PICKLING CARROTS!
HERE'S WHAT YOU'LL NEED...
3 LARGE CARROTS, PEELED
AND CUT INTO MATCHSTICKS
3 QUARTERS OF A CUP OF UNSEASONED
RICE WINE VINEGAR
1 INCH PIECE OF GINGER
ROOT, PEELED AND SLICED THIN
2 TABLESPOONS OF
GRANULATED SUGAR
1 TEASPOON OF KOSHER SALT
The ingredients pop up on the counter top as he mentions them.
Link says WE'LL ADD OUR SUGAR AND
SALT TO OUR WARM VINEGAR.
AND WE'LL MIX TILL
IT'S DISSOLVED.
I'VE CUT OUR CARROTS
INTO A MATCHSTICK SHAPE!
YOU CAN CUT YOUR VEGETABLE
INTO
ANY
SHAPE YOU WANT!
JUST MAKE SURE ALL
THE PIECES ARE THE SAME SIZE
SO THEY GET EQUALLY PICKLED.
He puts the pickles in a jar.
He says ADD YOUR GINGER,
AND YOUR BRINE.
IF YOUR BRINE DOESN'T
FULLY COVER YOUR CARROTS,
YOU CAN ADD A
LITTLE BIT OF WATER.
FOR THE BEST
TASTE AND TEXTURE,
WE'RE GONNA PUT OUR PICKLED
CARROTS IN THE FRIDGE
AND LET THEM SIT OVERNIGHT.
BUT IF YOU'RE AS HUNGRY AS I AM,
YOU CAN EAT YOUR PICKLED CARROTS
AFTER A FEW HOURS OF
SITTING IN THE BRINE.
LUCKILY, I HAVE A LAB RAT
TO HELP SPEED THINGS UP!
LAB RAT, SPEED DIAL!
Lab Rat speeds up the time.
Link says NOW SINCE
OUR PICKLED CARROTS
AND CUCUMBERS ARE COMPLETE,
I KNOW EXACTLY
WHAT TO DO WITH THEM...
LET'S ADD THEM TO
A YUMMY SANDWICH!
BUT FIRST IT'S
TIME TO TIDY UP...
As Link tidies up, the band plays a song that says LET'S TIDY UP!
WHEN YOU'RE FINISHED
AND THE COOKING'S DONE,
EVEN THOUGH YOU HAD
LOTS OF FUN YOU,
GOTTA CLEANUP THE
POTS AND PANS,
GOTTA PUT EM' AWAY, YOU
GOTTA WASH YOUR HAND.
YOU GOTTA DO YOUR BEST
TO CLEANUP YOUR MESS,
AND TIDY UP!
SO TIDY UP!
C'MON DO YOUR BEST
TO CLEANUP YOUR MESS,
AND TIDY UP!
SO TIDY UP!
Link says WE'VE SAVED THE
BEST PART, FOR LAST!
He puts pickles in a sandwich and says I CAN'T WAIT
TO BITE INTO THIS!
Captain Cook says BARNACLES!
ME PICKLE BARREL'S EMPTY.
MIGHT YE BE ABLE TO PROCESS
ME SOME MORE PICKLES,
MATEY?
Link says SURE I CAN, CAPTAIN COOK.
WHAT KIND OF FRESH PRODUCE
DO YOU HAVE FOR ME TO PICKLE?
Captain Cook says WELL LINK, I HAVE
ALL THESE THAT YOU CAN PICKLE
AND I'LL UH...
I'LL PICKLE...
OH!
THIS OLD BOOT!
[laughs]
WONDER HOW THAT'S GONNA TASTE.
[inhales]
(music plays)
A slate reads "Gastro News."
Behind his desk, Chip says GREETINGS, GASTROBLASTERS!
WHAT A SAVE IT'S BEEN... THAT IS
SAVING FRESH PRODUCE FOR ANOTHER
DAY THROUGH THE CHEMISTRY OF
SALT AND VINEGAR AND PICKLING.
WHOA! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT FOLKS?
TWO RECIPES IN
ONE ROUND ALL DONE
WITH THE PROCESS OF PICKLING!
WITH A BIT OF OSMOSIS AND
DIFFUSION WE SAW THE PRESERVING
OF FRESHNESS AND THE
SWEEPING AWAY OF BACTERIA.
LINK EVEN MAKES
HIMSELF A SANDWICH
FOR AN ALL-STAR
COOKING HOME RUN!
LET'S TAKE A LOOK...
Clips from the show roll on a pop up screen.
Link takes a crunchy bite of the sandwich and Chip falls from his chair.
[crunch]
[rumbling]
Chip says WHOA!!
Link says SORRY 'BOUT THAT, CHIP.
BUT YOU'D BETTER HOLD
ONTO YOUR SEAT NEXT TIME,
'CAUSE WE'VE GOT PLENTY
MORE PICKLES TO EAT!
In the lab, Link says THANKS FOR
YOUR HELP TODAY I.Q!
I.Q. says NO PROBLEM LINK,
THANKS FOR THE LUNCH!
They do a cool hand shake and say GASTROBLAST!
Music plays as the end credits roll.

Rosco says WOW! THOSE PICKLED CARROTS
LOOK DELICIOUS TOO.
AH, COOKING SHOWS
ALWAYS MAKE ME SO HUNGRY!
Spencer says SAME HERE, ROSCO.
AND IT'S FUN TO TRY OUT
IDEAS YOU LEARN WHILE WATCHING.
DO YOU THINK YOU'RE READY
TO FOLLOW YOUR PROCEDURE
AND MAKE SOME
OF THOSE PICKLES?
Rosco says WELL, I JUST FINISHED WRITING
DOWN THE LAST INSTRUCTION.
Spencer says OKAY, ROSCO. WHY DON'T
YOU SHOW US YOUR WORK?
Rosco turns and looks at the white board.
He says OKAY, SO, MY TITLE IS
"HOW TO MAKE DILL PICKLES,"
AND THE PURPOSE
OF MY PROCEDURE
IS TO HELP ME
MAKE PICKLES AT HOME.
AND THERE ARE MY MATERIALS,
THEY'RE, LIKE,
THE INGREDIENTS I WILL NEED.
Spencer says LOOKS GREAT SO FAR, ROSCO.
NOW LET'S SEE
YOUR INSTRUCTIONS.
A new list appears on the white board.
Rosco says WOW, IT'S LIKE THE BOARD
KNEW WE NEEDED MY NEXT PAGE!
AWESOME!
OKAY, SO, THE INSTRUCTIONS:
STEP ONE,
He reads WARM THE VINEGAR IN A MICROWAVE
ON A MICROWAVE-SAFE
MEASURING CUP FOR ONE MINUTE.
STEP TWO, ADD THE MUSTARD SEED
TO THE WARM VINEGAR.
STEP THREE, ADD THE SUGAR
TO THE WARM VINEGAR.
STEP FOUR, ADD THE SALT
TO THE WARM VINEGAR.
STEP FIVE, STIR UNTIL
THE SUGAR AND SALT DISSOLVE
TO MAKE THE BRINE.
Spencer says GOOD JOB, ROSCO!
BUT I HAVE A BIT OF FEEDBACK
FOR YOU BEFORE WE KEEP GOING.
Rosco says UM, OKAY.
Spencer says I THINK STEP ONE IS GREAT,
BUT MAYBE YOU
COULD ADD SOMETHING
ABOUT ASKING FOR HELP
FROM A PARENT WHEN USING THINGS
LIKE THE MICROWAVE
IN THE KITCHEN.
Rosco says OH, OKAY,
THAT MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA.
Spencer says NOW, STEP TWO, THREE, FOUR AND
FIVE ARE ALL SMALLER STEPS
THAT COULD BE PART OF ONE
OVERALL STEP.
CAN YOU EDIT YOUR WORK AND
COMBINE THEM INTO ONE STEP?
Rosco says UM, WELL, I THINK SO.
YEAH, I THINK I CAN DO THAT.
LET'S SEE.
WHAT IF I MAKE STEP TWO, UM,
"ADD THE MUSTARD SEED, SUGAR,
AND SALT TO THE WARM VINEGAR
AND STIR UNTIL DISSOLVED
TO MAKE YOUR BRINE."
YEAH.
An updated list appears.
Rosco says HEY, MY WORK CHANGED ALREADY!
THAT'S PRETTY HANDY!
Spencer chuckles and says IT SURE IS, ROSCO.
AND YOUR NEW
STEP TWO IS CLEARER
AND TAKES UP
A LOT LESS SPACE.
Rosco says YEAH, IT SAVED
A WHOLE PIECE OF PAPER!
OKAY, UM,
NEXT COMES STEP THREE.
CUT THE CUCUMBER
CROSSWISE INTO COINS,
AND STEP FOUR,
TOSS THE CUCUMBER COINS
WITH THE DILL IN A SMALL BOWL.
AND THEN-- OH.
CAN THE BOARD MAKE
THE THING HAPPEN AGAIN?
Spencer says I THINK SO, ROSCO.
Rosco says WOW, THE BOARD REALLY
IS ON TOP OF THIS TODAY!
OKAY, STEP FIVE,
FILL A STERILIZED JAR WITH
THE CUCUMBER, DILL,
AND GARLIC CLOVES,
AND THEN STEP SIX,
POUR THE BRINE OVER
THE JAR'S CONTENTS.
FILL THE JAR TO THE TOP!
STEP SEVEN, SEAL THE JAR
AND PLACE IN THE FRIDGE
FOR AT LEAST THREE HOURS
OR OVERNIGHT.
AND THEN,
THE BEST STEP, STEP EIGHT,
EAT YOUR DILL PICKLES AND
STORE LEFTOVERS IN THE FRIDGE.
Spencer says VERY NICE,
ROSCO, THAT'S AWESOME.
THAT'S REALLY GREAT WRITING.
HOW ARE YOU FEELING
ABOUT WRITING PROCEDURES NOW?
Rosco says UM, REALLY GOOD, MR. DE MAN.
AND NOW THAT I'VE WRITTEN
A PROCEDURE FOR COOKING,
I THINK I MIGHT
BE READY TO WRITE
MY BOARD GAME INSTRUCTIONS!
UM, BUT I THINK I NEED
A LITTLE BRAIN BREAK FIRST.
I'M GETTING KIND OF TIRED.
Spencer says OKAY. WELL,
WHY DON'T YOU JOIN ME
AND OUR STUDENTS WATCHING WHILE
I FOLLOW ANOTHER PROCEDURE
TO MAKE
ORIGAMI SUNGLASSES?
Rosco says THAT SOUNDS FUN!
A close-up shot of hands doing origami and the instructions for it appear on split screens.
In off, Spencer says OKAY, FOR TODAY'S BRAIN BREAK,
WE'RE GOING TO
FOLLOW ANOTHER PROCEDURE.
THE TITLE IS, "HOW TO
MAKE ORIGAMI SUNGLASSES."
"FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS
TO MAKE COOL SHADES
FOR A DOLL OR STUFFY,"
IS THE PROCEDURE
AND THE MATERIALS ARE
ONE PIECE OF PRINTER PAPER.
LET'S GET STARTED.
STEP ONE,
PLACE A PIECE OF PRINTER PAPER
SO THE WIDTH IS LONGER
THAN THE HEIGHT; LANDSCAPE.
TAKE THE BOTTOM RIGHT
CORNER AND FOLD THE PAPER
SO THAT IT MEETS
THE TOP LEFT CORNER.
THE RED ARROW SHOWS
THE DIRECTION OF THE FOLD
AND THE DOTTED BLACK LINE
SHOWS WHERE THE CREASE WILL BE.
STEP TWO, TURN YOUR WORK
SO THE LONGEST
EDGE IS FACING YOU.
FOLD IT IN HALF
FROM RIGHT TO LEFT.
THE DIRECTION OF FOLD IS
AGAIN SHOWED BY THE RED LINE,
AND THE BLACK
DOTTED LINE SHOWS
WHERE THE CREASE WILL BE.
WE'RE GONNA MAKE
SURE THOSE ARE NICE CREASES
BY SMOOTHING THEM OUT.
STEP THREE,
UNFOLD YOUR WORK
AND ORIENT IT
LIKE A LANDSCAPE.
CHECK OUT THE DIAGRAM.
DOES IT MATCH?
STEP FOUR, FOLD THE PAPER
ALONG THE CREASE CREATED
IN STEP TWO.
LOOKS LIKE I'M GOING
TO LINE THESE TWO LINES UP
AND I'LL FOLD THAT
CREASE AGAIN AND OH, LOOK.
MY WORK DOES LOOK LIKE
TWO OVERLAPPING TRIANGLES.
AWESOME.
STEP FIVE, WITH
THE LONGEST EDGE FACING YOU,
HOLD IT UP TO THE POINT
WHERE THE TWO TRIANGLES MEET.
THIS IS WHERE DIAGRAMS
COME IN REALLY HANDY.
THE RED ARROW
SHOWING THE DIRECTION
AND THE BLACK
DOTTED LINES HELP A LOT.
STEP SIX, FOLD THE BOTTOM
EDGE TO THE SAME POINT
WHERE THE TWO
TRIANGLES MEET FROM STEP FIVE.
I'M LOOKING AT THE DIAGRAM
WHICH LOOKS REALLY SIMILAR
TO THE DIAGRAM
FROM STEP FIVE AS WELL.
SO, IT'S ALMOST
THE SAME KIND OF STEP,
JUST GOING TO REALLY
MAKE SURE THE FOLDS
ARE PRESSED DOWN
NICE AND TIGHT.
STEP SEVEN,
FOLD THE BOTTOM EDGE UP
TO THE SAME POINT
FROM STEP SIX.
OH WOW, WE DID THAT
A WHOLE BUNCH OF TIMES.
AND LET'S SEE,
DOES MY PIECE LOOK LIKE
A BAND WITH TWO
TRIANGLES ON TOP?
WELL, IT DOES.
GUESS WE'RE
DOING IT RIGHT SO FAR.
STEP EIGHT, FOLD THE TIPS
OF THE TRIANGLES DOWN
SO THE POINTS ARE
ALMOST TOUCHING THE BAND.
OKAY, I SEE THE FOLD LINES
AND THE DIRECTION ARROWS...
AH, THERE WE GO.
THAT LOOKS RIGHT. OH,
IT SAYS SOMETHING UNDERNEATH.
"YOU MIGHT WANT TO
TAPE OR GLUE THE POINTS DOWN
SO THEY CAN'T POKE
ANYONE IN THE EYES."
WELL, I GUESS THESE ARE,
LIKE, PART OF THE LENSES
AND THOSE PARTS WOULD KIND OF
POKE OUT A LITTLE BIT.
YEAH, I THINK WE BETTER
GLUE THOSE DOWN. SAFETY FIRST.
STEP NINE, HOLD THE RIGHT
AND LEFT SIDES OF THE BAND
TOWARDS THE MIDDLE
OF YOUR WORK,
WHERE THE TRIANGLES
MEET THE BAND ON THE RIGHT
AND LEFT SIDES.
THESE FOLDS WILL CREATE
THE ARMS OF YOUR SUNGLASSES.
AND AGAIN WE CAN SEE
HOW USEFUL DIAGRAMS ARE
IN A PROCEDURE,
BECAUSE THAT'S A LOT OF WORDS
AND IT'S STILL
A LITTLE BIT CONFUSING,
BUT THE DIAGRAM
REALLY HELPS OUT.
LOOK, THEY REALLY DO LOOK LIKE
THE ARMS OF SUNGLASSES, NICE.
STEP TEN, YOUR ORIGAMI
SUNGLASSES ARE COMPLETE.
HAVE FUN
DECORATING YOUR WORK,
AND REMEMBER YOU
WON'T BE ABLE TO SEE ANYTHING
THROUGH THEM UNLESS YOU
CAN SEE RIGHT THROUGH PAPER.
I'M PRETTY SURE NONE
OF US HAVE X-RAY VISION.
AND THANKS FOR
FOLLOWING THIS PROCEDURE
TO MAKE ORIGAMI SUNGLASSES.
HAVE FUN, MY FRIENDS!
Rosco appears wearing black and orange origami sunglasses.
Rosco says HOW DO I LOOK, MR. DE MAN?
Spencer says VERY SNAZZY, ROSCO. GREAT
JOB WITH YOUR SUNGLASSES.
Rosco says YEAH, IT WAS VERY RELAXING
TO FOLLOW YOUR INSTRUCTIONS.
AND I WAS THINKING,
THERE'S PROCEDURES LIKE
RECIPES FOR COOKING,
THERE'S PROCEDURES FOR GAMES
WITH RULES AND INSTRUCTIONS,
THERE'S PROCEDURES
LIKE CONSTRUCTIONS
WITH LOTS OF PICTURES
FOR ORIGAMI
AND EVEN FOR TOYS LIKE LEGO.
ARE THERE PROCEDURES
FOR EVERYTHING?
Spencer says IT SEEMS LIKE IT, ROSCO.
PROCEDURE WRITING IS IMPORTANT,
SO WE CAN TEACH
AND LEARN NEW THINGS
AT SCHOOL AND AT HOME.
OUR RULES AT SCHOOL,
OUR PROCEDURE,
YOUR TEACHER'S LESSON PLAN,
OR A WORKSHEET THEY
GIVE YOU ALSO HAVE PROCEDURES.
AT HOME, YOU USE PROCEDURES
TO PUT TOGETHER THINGS
LIKE TOYS OR FURNITURE.
Rosco says OH YEAH, YEAH, THAT'S TRUE.
I LIKE IT WHEN I GET
NEW FURNITURE FOR MY ROOM.
Spencer says YEAH, AND THE MECHANIC FOLLOWS
MANY DIFFERENT PROCEDURES
TO FIX ALL THE DIFFERENT
PARTS OF YOUR CAR.
YOUR VIDEO
GAMES ARE EVEN CREATED
USING STEP BY STEP
PROCEDURES CALLED CODING
FOR YOUR COMPUTER TO PROCESS.
Rosco says WHAT?
EVEN VIDEO GAMES?
HOW DOES A GAME
FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS?
Spencer says I THOUGHT
YOU MIGHT ASK THAT.
LET'S WATCH THIS
SCIENCE EXPLOSION CLIP
FOR AN EXPLANATION.
Rosco says OH YEAH!
In animation, a Big Bang of Math symbols and science gadgets occur as real life scientist and magician Eric opens a portal in his tablet and more gadgets appear: a magnifying glass, a flask, binoculars, a protractor, and a magnet.
Eric has short, curly brown hair and a shadow of a beard. He wears a blue Science Explosion T-shirt and a kitchen apron.
The theme song says WHAT A HIT, IT'S ELECTRIC
IT'S SCIENCE EXPLOSION
JUST FOR YOU,
COOL AND NEW
SCIENCE EXPLOSION
Eric stands inside a kitchen holding an instruction sheet for a recipe, with the instructions in a wrong order: 2, 4, 3, 1.
A female voice says UH OH, ERIC.
YOUR INSTRUCTIONS SEEM
TO BE IN THE WRONG ORDER.
THE ORDER IS VERY,
VERY IMPORTANT.
IT'S LIKE COMPUTER CODING.
WE NEED CLEAR INSTRUCTIONS
THAT ARE IN EXACTLY THE RIGHT
ORDER TO MAKE A PIE, RIGHT?
WE ALSO NEED CLEAR
INSTRUCTIONS TO CODE,
SO CODING MEANS
WRITING PROGRAMS
THAT TELL ROBOTS AND COMPUTERS
HOW TO DO CERTAIN TASKS.
(triumphant music plays)
Eric raises his brows, then flips the instruction sheet and the instructions appear in the correct order.
The woman says WOW, ERIC. THAT'S A COOL TRICK
AND IT GIVES ME ANOTHER IDEA.
EASY INSTRUCTIONS
GIVEN IN THE RIGHT ORDER
CAN MAKE AN
AWESOME TREASURE HUNT.
WOULD YOU LIKE
TO DO ONE WITH ME?
Eric nods.
The woman continues AND THIS WILL HELP US LEARN
MORE ABOUT COMPUTER CODING AT THE SAME TIME.
TO GET STARTED WE NEED A GRID.
I DREW A GRID THAT'S 10 SQUARE
By 8 SQUARES.
On a black floor, a grid appears that is 10 squares wide and 8 squares tall. A paper star sits in one of the corners and other objects sit in other squares inside the grid.
The woman says TO BEGIN, THE SQUARE WITH THE STAR ON IT,
THE GOAL OF THE GAME IS TO FIND THE TREASURE.
BUT FIRST WE HAVE TO FIND THREE CLUES. IF YOU WANT
TO SUCCEED IN FINDING THE TREASURE, YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW
MY INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY, JUST LIKE A COMPUTER OR A ROBOT.
In a robotic voice, the woman says ROBO ERIC, TURN TO
THE RIGHT. MOVE AHEAD ONES SQUARE.
TURN TO THE LEFT.
As she speaks, Eric follows her commands.
She continues MOVE AHEAD 4 SQUARES.
Eric walks into a square containing an apple.
The woman says YOU FOUND THE FIRST CLUE.
TURN TO THE RIGHT. MOVE AHEAD 3 SQUARES.
Eric bumps into a tall lamp.
The woman says UH OH, WHAT'S THIS LAMP DOING HERE?
WE'LL HAVE TO WORK AROUND IT. ERIC,
TURN TO THE RIGHT. MOVE AHEAD 2 SQUARES.
NOW TURN TO THE LEFT; MOVE AHEAD 3 SQUARES.
Eric finds an oven mitt.
The woman says LOOK, YOU FOUND THE SECOND CLUE.
MMM, WONDER WHAT IT MEANS.
OKAY LET'S CONTINUE. TURN TO THE LEFT.
MOVE AHEAD 3 SQUARES.
As Eric finds a fork and a napkin, the woman says ANOTHER CLUE,
THE LAST ONE. YOU POKE MILD CURIOSITY.
[laughter]
NOW TURN TO THE LEFT. MOVE AHEAD 1 SQUARE.
TURN TO THE RIGHT.
MOVE AHEAD ONE MORE SQUARE.
Eric finds a small treasure box.
The woman says AND YOU'RE THERE.
WELL DONE, ERIC. YOU DID IT.
AND NOW YOU UNDERSTAND MORE ABOUT
HOW WE PROGRAM COMPUTERS AND ROBOTS
WITH CLEAR INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN IN A LOGICAL ORDER.
GO AHEAD GO AHEAD, ERIC. YOU EARNED IT.
Eric opens the treasure box and takes out a small apple pie.
The woman says AN APPLE PIE? NICE.
Now as an animated replay of the scene unfolds, the woman says ERIC IS PROGRAMMED TO FIND TREASURE AND WAS GIVE INSTRUCTIONS WITH SIMPLE WORDS,
SUCH AS TURN AND MOVE AHEAD. BUT DID YOU
KNOW THAT SOMETIMES WE HAVE TO LEARN
A WHOLE NEW LANGUAGE TO COMMUNICATE
WITH ELECTRONIC DEVICES? THERE ARE MANY DIFFERENT
PROGRAMMING OR CODING LANGUAGES
IT'S LIKE A LANGUAGE WE ACCUSE USE TO COMMUNICATE
WITH OTHER PEOPLE. THESE LANGUAGES ALSO HAVE THEIR
OWN VOCABULARY AND GRAMMAR RULES.
PEOPLE LEARN THESE LANGUAGES SO
THEY CAN GIVE INSTRUCTIONS TO COMPUTERS.
As Eric sits and eats his small apple pie, the woman says TRY PLAYING A GRID GAME
AT HOME WITH YOUR FRIENDS. YOU CAN TAKE TURNS
BEING THE ROBOT, WHILE THE OTHERS GIVE INSTRUCTIONS.
YOU CAN EVEN MAKE A RECIPE STEP BY STEP LIKE ERICA
APPLE PIE RECIPE, OR HOW ABOUT DOING
THE STEPS OF A DISTANCE?
As Eric dances, the woman says IT'S NOT MAGIC; IT'S SCIENCE.
The end credits roll.
Rosco says OH, SO FUN!
I'M SURE GLAD ERIC
GOT ALL THE RIGHT INSTRUCTIONS.
IT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN NICE
IF HE KNOCKED OVER THE LAMP
OR TRIPPED ON THE RED CHAIR.
Spencer says THAT'S TRUE, ROSCO.
IF A PROCEDURE HAS MISTAKES,
IT CAN CAUSE BIG PROBLEMS.
Rosco says HEY, MR. DE MAN, I WAS
THINKING ABOUT ANOTHER THING
THAT'S KIND OF LIKE
A PROCEDURE: MUSIC!
WHEN SOMEONE READS THE NOTES,
IT'S LIKE INSTRUCTIONS
TO SING OR PLAY A SONG.
Spencer says NICE, ROSCO!
AND WHEN ONE OF THE STEPS
ISN'T WRITTEN
OR FOLLOWED CORRECTLY,
YOU GET WRONG NOTES
AND TERRIBLE SOUNDS.
Rosco says OH YEAH,
THAT'S REALLY TRUE.
OH, CAN I FOLLOW
A MUSIC PROCEDURE NOW
AND SING A SONG ABOUT
INSTRUCTIONS FOR EVERYONE?
I'M GOING TO
NEED YOUR HELP THOUGH.
Spencer says OF COURSE,
ROSCO, TAKE IT AWAY.
Spencer sings UGH, I'M STUCK,
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO
Wearing a white shirt and a black jacket, Rosco says NEED A TIP,
I'LL GIVE YOU A CLUE
FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS,
BEGIN AT STEP ONE
KEEP GOING STEP BY STEP
BY STEP UNTIL YOU'RE DONE
Spencer sings THIS LOOKS LIKE
A REALLY TOUGH BUILDING SET
Rosco sings IT'S A SUPER DUPER
TURBO AWESOME RAINBOW JET!
Spencer sings HOW WILL YOU KNOW
WHAT PIECES TO USE?
Rosco sings IT CAME
WITH INSTRUCTIONS
THEY WILL
HELP ME CHOOSE
Spencer sings UGH, I'M STUCK,
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO
Rosco sings NEED A TIP?
I'LL GIVE YOU A CLUE
FOLLOWED THE INSTRUCTIONS,
BEGIN AT STEP ONE
KEEP GOING STEP BY STEP
BY STEP UNTIL YOU'RE DONE
Spencer sings YOU'RE ALL DRESSED
UP IN YOUR SNAZZY SUIT
Rosco sings JUST NEED TO TIE
MY TIE BEFORE MY PHOTO SHOOT
Spencer sings WHY DON'T YOU
BORROW A CLIP ON OF MINE?
Rosco sings NO, THANKS, I FOUND
SOME INSTRUCTIONS ONLINE
Spencer sings UGH, I'M STUCK,
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO
Rosco sings NEED A TIP?
I'LL GIVE YOU A CLUE
FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS,
BEGIN AT STEP ONE
KEEP GOING STEP BY STEP
BY STEP UNTIL YOU'RE DONE
Spencer sings WHAT ARE YOU
GOING TO BAKE TODAY?
Rosco sings A TRIPLE LEVEL DOUBLE
CHOCOLATE CAKE, HURRAY!
Spencer sings HOW WILL YOU KNOW
WHAT STEPS TO TAKE?
Rosco sings I'LL USE THE RECIPE,
IT'S A PIECE OF CAKE
Spencer sings UGH, I'M STUCK,
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO
Rosco sings NEED A TIP?
I'LL GIVE YOU A CLUE
FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS,
BEGIN AT STEP ONE
KEEP GOING STEP BY STEP
BY STEP UNTIL YOU'RE DONE
A BIG BOX ARRIVED TODAY,
THEY LEFT IT AT THE ENTRY
Spencer sings IT'S FURNITURE FOR YOU
THAT REQUIRED SOME ASSEMBLY
THREW OUT THE INSTRUCTIONS,
I DID IT MYSELF
Rosco sings IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE YOUR BED
BUT IT LOOKS LIKE A SHELF!
Spencer sings UGH, I'M STUCK,
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO
Rosco says NEED A TIP?
NOW HERE'S A CLUE
FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS
START AT STEP ONE
KEEP GOING STEP BY STEP
BY STEP UNTIL YOU'RE DONE
(dinging)
Next, they appear behind a xylophone.
Spencer says GREAT SONG, ROSCO.
I LIKE THAT YOU
INCLUDED DIFFERENT
TYPES OF PROCEDURES RIGHT
IN YOUR LYRICS.
Rosco says AW, THANK YOU, MR. DE MAN.
I LIKED LEARNING HOW TO CREATE
OUR VIDEO USING INSTRUCTIONS
WE FOUND ONLINE AND...
AND DOING SOME MUSIC
STUFF WITH YOU
REMINDS ME OF WHEN WE'RE
AT SCHOOL AND WE GET TO
USE MUSICAL PROCEDURES TO TEACH
YOUR STUDENTS HOW TO PLAY
INSTRUMENTS LIKE THE XYLOPHONE.
Spencer says OH, YEAH, I DO LIKE THAT.
AND THAT REMINDS ME, THERE'S
AN EPISODE OF
BACKYARD BEATS
THAT FEATURES THE XYLOPHONE.
Rosco gasps and says CAN-- CAN WE WATCH IT?
Spencer says SURE, LET'S TAKE A LISTEN.
(xylophone tinkling)
(music plays)
A TVO Kids and BGM Inc. original.
Monica plays instruments in the studio.
Monica is in her mid-teens, with long wavy brown hair and wears a jean overall and a red T-shirt.
Monica says MY NAME IS MONICA
AND MUSIC IS MY THING.
(PRETEND HORN MUSIC)
Monica says I'M INVITING PRO
MUSICIANS TO MY BACKYARD
FOR EPIC JAM SESSIONS.
A group sings ABSOLUTELY
Monica says ALONG FOR THE RIDE
ARE JUNIOR JAMMERS,
WHO LOVE TO MAKE
SOME NOISE.
(PLAYFUL MUSIC)
Monica says TOGETHER THEY INSPIRE ME
TO MAKE DIY CRAFT-STRUMENTS
FOR THE BIG PERFORMANCE.
A violinist says COUNT US IN.
3.
A trumpeter says 2.
1.
Monica says INSTRUMENTS IN HAND,
WE ALL JOIN IN AND MAKE
SOME BACKYARD BEATS.
The name of the show appears in colourful letters made out of instruments. It reads "Backyard Beats."
In the studio, Monica dances says AND CROUCH!
AND POP, AND LOCK AND FLOSS.
WOW!
AND CROUCH
AND POP, AND LOCK AND FLOSS.
GFORCE MAKES IT LOOK SO EASY!
(chiming)
SPEAKING OF WHICH,
THEY'RE HERE!
POP GIRL GROUP
GFORCE ARE COMING
FOR A XYLOPHONE JAM SESH!
Monica opens the door and five girls come in.
The group says HI!
Monica says GET IN HERE.
(all laughing)
I WAS JUST
WATCHING ONE OF YOUR VIDEOS.
The group says COOL!
Monica says ARE YOU
READY TO TURN UP THE ENERGY
IN THE BACKYARD TO 100?
(cheering)
They do a special greeting and dance and say EY!
OOH, AH, AH, AH! GO! WHOO!
YEAH!
Monica points at everyone of them and says SIENNA,
MICHELA, AVA, SARAH, HOLLY,
YOU ALL HAVE GFORCE ALTER EGOS.
OG says I'M OG, ALSO KNOWN
AS OVER-PREPARED GIRL,
AND I LIKE TO KEEP THINGS
ORGANIZED AND IN CHECK.
Boss G says I'M BOSS G, BECAUSE
I LIKE TO BE IN CHARGE.
Speedy G says MY NAME IS SPEEDY G.
TRY TO KEEP UP!
Hype G says I AM HYPE G AND I KEEP
THE PARTY GOING!
The group says YEAH!
Zen G says AND I'M THE FLIP,
ZEN G IS MY NAME, NAMASTE.
Monica says I WANT TO BE A G!
WHAT DO YOU THINK I COULD BE?
The group gathers and whispers.
OG says MONICA, YOU ARE CRAFTY G,
BECAUSE YOU KEEP THE BEAT GOING
WITH YOUR DIY INSTRUMENTS.
Monica says WHOO! CRAFTY G!
YOU GUYS READY
FOR A GAME OF MOST LIKELY TO?
The group cheers.
Monica says MOST LIKELY
TO EAT THE LAST COOKIE?
The group points to Hype G.
Hype G says I WOULD EAT
ALL THE COOKIES, DEFINITELY.
OG says WE HAVE TO
HIDE COOKIES FROM HER.
Monica says MOST LIKELY
TO FALL ASLEEP ANYWHERE?
They point to Zen G.
Speedy G says SHE FALLS
ASLEEP IN EVERY CAR RIDE.
Monica says MOST LIKELY
TO BE ON THEIR PHONE?
They point to Speedy G.
Monica says MOST LIKELY TO BREAK
OUT INTO SPONTANEOUS DANCING?
They point to Hype G.
A girl says HOLLY.
Hype G says AND DANCE, AND DANCE...
They all dance.
OG says SEE, IT'S VERY CONTAGIOUS.
(all laughing)
Monica says MOST LIKELY TO RELEASE
A CERTIFIED GOLD RECORD?
OG says HOPEFULLY ALL OF US!
Monica says DEFINITELY!
I HAVE A XYLOPHONE
CRAFT-STRUMENT TO BUILD.
I'LL SEE YOU GUYS AT THE JAM.
Hype G says SEE YOU IN A BIT.
OG says WE'RE GOING TO
GET OUR XYLO BEAST.
Speedy G says WOOHOO!
Three animated rock star rocks appear.
The guitar player rock says IT'S A XYLOPHONE JAM
WITH A WHOLE LOT OF GFORCE.
The bass player rock says IT'S GONNA GO OFF!
Rockelle says LIKE OUTER-SPACE STYLE.
The guitar player rock says THEY ARE
TOTALLY GOING TO ROCKET.
GET IT? ROCK IT!
Rockelle says OH, YEAH. WE GET IT.
The bass player rock says MONICA IS ABOUT TO MAKE
HER XYLOPHONE FOR THE JAM.
The guitar player rock says DO YOU THINK SHE WILL
PLAY SOME NEP-TUNES? HEHE!
Monica stands behind the craft table and says YEP, I'M FEELING PRETTY HANDY.
PLUMBING PROBLEMS, FAULTY
WIRING, WONKY CRANK SHIP.
I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT
THAT IS, BUT I'LL FIX IT.
'CAUSE I'VE GOT...
(metal rattling)
NINE WRENCHES!
I'M ALL ABOUT BEING
PREPARED FOR FIXING STUFF OR...
XYLOPHONE.
(discordant prattling)
She uses the wrenches as if she were playing a xylophone.
She says YEAH, THAT'S PRETTY BAD.
LET'S GET TO THE BEAT.
I'M GOING TO HOLD
OFF ON THE HEAVY METAL
AND GET STARTED WITH THIS.
IT LOOKS LIKE A PIPE,
BUT IT'S A PIPE COVER,
A WHOLE OTHER DEAL.
I'M ALSO USING
SCISSORS, STRING, PLASTICINE,
TWO DOWELS
AND THESE AWESOME BEADS.
CRAFT-STRUMENT TIME!
A slate reads "Arranging the bars."
She says FIRST, CUT
TWO PIECES OF THE PIPE COVER.
A PIPE COVER IS LIKE
A SWEATER FOR YOUR PIPES.
GUESS PIPES
GET CHILLY. BRRR. WHO KNEW?
NOW I'M LOOKING FOR THE SEAM,
WHERE THE PIPE COVER SPLITS.
THEN I'LL OPEN IT UP.
GOTTA MAKE ROOM FOR THOSE
WRENCHES. WRENCH TIME!
I'M STARTING
WITH THE BIGGEST ONE,
ALTHOUGH
TECHNICALLY IT'S AN IDIOPHONE.
"HEY, WHO YOU CALLING
AN IDIOPHONE?" RELAX.
IDIOPHONE JUST MEANS
AN INSTRUMENT THAT MAKES
SOUND WHEN IT IS STRUCK.
IT'S A VIBRATE-Y THING.
RANDOM WORD OF THE DAY.
"IDIOPHONE!"
YOU GOT IT.
I'M INSERTING THE WRENCH INTO
THE COVER RIGHT ABOUT HERE.
I'VE GOT TO
LEAVE ROOM FOR THE REST
OF THE WRENCH, BAM,
ONE BY ONE THEY WILL ALL
FIT IN FROM
BIGGEST TO SMALLEST.
THE SMALLER THE WRENCH,
THE HIGHER THE SOUND.
HEY, THERE ADORBS BABY WRENCH,
YOU GO IN THE END, LITTLE GUY!
A Wrench says YAY!
She says NEXT, STRING.
HMM. I NEED
SOMETHING REALLY STRONG HERE.
(hissing)
She sprays the camera.
(upbeat pop-rock music)
She shows a yellow string and says I MEAN THIS TYPE OF STRING,
GUYS, OBVI.
The slate changes to "Tying it together."
She says I'M TYING A KNOT HERE
RIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUBE.
IN FACT, TO MAKE IT
MORE SECURE, LET'S TIE TWO.
NOW I'M GOING TO WEAVE
THAT STRING DOWN THE TUBE.
I'M GOING AROUND THE WRENCHES
TO MAKE 'EM STAY PUT.
I DON'T WANT WRENCHES
FLYING AROUND WHILE I PLAY.
THAT COULD SERIOUSLY CRAMP
MY JAM SESSION STYLE. ALSO, OW!
I'LL MAKE
SURE THE STRING IS TIGHT
AND THEN I'LL TIE IT OFF HERE.
THAT'S A PERFECT KNOT. NOT!
THAT KNOT IS NOT KNOT WORTHY.
IT'S NOT KNOTTED ENOUGH.
THAT'S A LOT OF KNOTS. NOW,
I'LL START ON THE OTHER SIDE.
REMEMBER WHEN I STUCK
THE ENDS OF THE WRENCHES
INTO THE PIPE COVER?
NOW I'LL DO THE SAME
WITH THE HEADS.
WAIT, DO WRENCHES HAVE HEADS?
IT'S THIS BIT.
I'LL OPEN THE TUBE,
THEN SLIDE THEM IN HERE.
THE TUBE'S ON
AN ANGLE, SINCE THE WRENCHES
ARE ALL DIFFERENT LENGTHS.
IF THEY WEREN'T,
IT WOULDN'T BE A XYLOPHONE.
IT WOULD BE, UH, A BUNCH
OF OLD WRENCHES. BORING!
NOW, THEY'RE IN AT
BOTH ENDS, SO THIS NEXT PART
IS REALLY SHOCKING.
YOU'LL NEVER GUESS WHAT IT IS.
I'LL GIVE YOU ONE CLUE.
(spray hissing)
She says YOU GUESSED IT. STRING!
GOTTA WEAVE LIKE BEFORE.
I'LL START WITH MY
KNOT AND THEN GO BACK
AND FORTH GETTING
THEM NICE AND TIGHT.
IT'S COMING TOGETHER.
NOW WHAT SHOULD I PLAY IT WITH?
A TOOTHBRUSH?
(soft twanging)
A FLOWER?
(flapping)
OH, I KNOW. MY SHOE.
(metallic thumping)
UH, HOW
ABOUT I JUST MAKE A MALLET?
USUALLY, A MALLET HEAD WOULD
BE RUBBER, OR MAYBE EVEN WOOD,
BUT I'M WORKING WITH WHAT
I'VE GOT, WHICH IS PLASTICINE,
A COUPLE OF DOWELS
AND THESE AWESOME BEADS.
INSTEAD OF THE DOWEL,
A CHOPSTICK COULD WORK, TOO.
NOW, I'M ROLLING A TINY
PIECE OF PLASTICINE.
IT GOES ON THE END OF THE DOWEL
AND GETS INSERTED
INTO THE BEAD.
MAKE SURE IT'S STUCK.
MAN, PLASTICINE IS MAGIC!
THESE BEADS ARE
NOT GOING ANYWHERE
EXCEPT TO TOWN
ON THIS XYLOPHONE!
WOOHOO!
(clinking)
She plays her crafted xylophone.
She says ONE NOTE MAKES
A MELODY, BUT TWO
NOTES TAKES IT TO A HARMONY.
I THINK THIS
CRAFT-STRUMENT IS SO AMAZING.
LET'S POP IN ON
MY BUDDY, CALVIN,
AND WATCH HIM GO TO
TOWN ON HIS XYLOPHONE.
A caption reads "Calvin. Junior Jammer." Calvin is around 12 years old. He has long curly brown hair. He wears a blue jacket over a patterned T-shirt and braces.
Calvin says I'M CALVIN
AND I PLAY THE XYLOPHONE.
(soft, rhythmic tinkling)
HERE ARE MY FIVE FAST FACTS.
MY FAVOURITE SPORT IS SOCCER.
I'M A VERY SLOW EATER.
I'VE BEEN TO PANAMA TEN
TIMES, ALWAYS ON MY BIRTHDAY.
I HAVE A BUSINESS WITH MY
SISTER THAT SELLS CUPCAKES.
I WAS THE YOUNGEST MEMBER
TO EVER JOIN MY YOUTH BAND.
BONUS FACT,
I LOVE TO PLAY THE XYLOPHONE.
The slate changes to "First Notes."
Calvin plays "Fur Elise" on the piano.
Calvin says THE VERY FIRST INSTRUMENT
I EVER LEARNED WAS THE PIANO.
PLAYING THE XYLOPHONE IS
EXACTLY THE SAME AS PLAYING
THE PIANO, BUT JUST WITH
TWO MALLETS INSTEAD OF FINGERS.
The caption changes to "The Set-up."
He says THIS IS MY MINI XYLOPHONE,
ALSO CALLED THE BELLS.
THESE ARE THE TWO
MALLETS THAT I PLAY WITH.
THESE ARE THE BARS. EACH
OF THEM PLAYS A DIFFERENT NOTE.
THE SMALLER, THE HIGHER.
(sharp tinkling)
AND THE LARGER, THE LOWER.
(deep tinkling)
The caption changes to "Living the dream."
Calvin says I'D LOVE TO BE IN MORE
BANDS PLAYING THE XYLOPHONE.
MY DREAM FOR PLAYING
THE XYLOPHONE IS TO
PLAY WITH MORE
THAN TWO MALLETS.
I SAW A VIDEO ONCE WITH A GUY
PLAYING WITH EIGHT MALLETS.
IT WAS REALLY COOL.
TOP TIPS.
TIP ONE: MAKE SURE
YOU'RE HOLDING THE MALLETS
JUST RIGHT
BEFORE YOU START PLAYING,
AND BOTH HANDS NEED
TO BE EXACTLY THE SAME.
TIP TWO:
LEARN HOW TO READ MUSIC.
IT'LL REALLY HELP,
AND TIP THREE IS TO PRACTICE.
MAKE SOME NOISE!
He plays the xylophone in a park.
(crowd applauding)
Back to animation, the guitar player rock says CALVIN CAN REALLY
HIT IT ON THE XYLOPHONE!
On drums, Rockelle says IT DOESN'T STOP THERE. THE JAM
WITH GFORCE IS COMING UP.
The bass rock player says STRAP IN, TAKE OFF
IN T-MINUS TEN SECONDS.
The guitar player rock says OH, NO, I DON'T LIKE HEIGHTS!
Rockelle says HERE'S GFORCE
WITH CALVIN AND MONICA.
The bass rock player says GET READY TO LAUNCH.
The guitar player rock whimpers.
At the studio, Monica says MY DIY XYLOPHONE
IS READY TO ROCK.
NOTHING LIKE ADDING A LITTLE
PAINT TO BRIGHTEN THINGS UP.
EVERYBODY READY?
The group says YEAH!
OG yells LET'S DO IT!
Monica says COUNT US IN, CALVIN.
Calvin says ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR!
Monica, GFORCE and Calvin play the xylophone.
GFORCE sings IT'S GFORCE"
They sing YO, WHY WOULD YOU
GIVE ME ADVICE LIKE THAT?
WHY WOULD YOU DO IT?
JUST STOP
'CAUSE I DON'T
WANT TO BE NO COPYCAT
NO, I WOULDN'T
WANT TO BE THAT
MAYBE YOU
THINK WE'RE TOO YOUNG
WE'RE GOING TO DO
WHAT'S NEVER BEEN DONE
'CAUSE WE'RE THE BOSS'S BOSS
AND WE CAN WALK THE WALK
WE'RE COMFORTABLE
LIKE THAT
WE'RE MILES AWAY
UH-HUH, UH-HUH
'CAUSE ALMOST EVERY DAY
THERE'S ALWAYS
BIGGER BETTER THINGS
THAT SOMEBODY WILL SAY
SO WE KEEP WORKING,
'CAUSE WE DON'T WANNA PLAY
IT'S GFORCE
YO, WHY WOULD YOU GET
ALL MY THOUGHTS OFF TRACK?
YO, WHY WOULD
YOU WANT TO DO THAT?
'CAUSE WE DON'T
WANNA BE NO COPYCATS
WHY WOULD I WANNA BE THAT?
I WOULD NEVER
BE A BOSSY BOSS
BUT WE CAN
GET SALTY LIKE SOYA SAUCE
AND IT GETS BETTER,
YOU JUST GOTTA WAIT
WE'RE MILES AWAY
UH-HUH, UH-HUH
'CAUSE ALMOST EVERY DAY
UH-HUH, UH-HUH
THERE'S ALWAYS
BIGGER, BETTER THINGS
THAT SOMEBODY WILL SAY
SO WE KEEP WORKING
'CAUSE WE DON'T WANNA PLAY
IT'S GFORCE
WE'RE GONNA DO
OUR OWN THING
UH-HUH, UH-HUH
SOMEBODY RING THE ALARM
UH-HUH, UH-HUH
WE'RE GONNA DO OUR OWN THING
UH-HUH, UH-HUH
AND BREAK ALL
THE RULES 'TIL THEY'RE GONE
UH-HUH, UH-HUH
WE'RE GONNA DO OUR OWN THING
UH-HUH, UH-HUH
SOMEBODY RING THE ALARM
UH-HUH, UH-HUH
WE'RE GONNA DO OUR OWN THING
IT'S GFORCE
The end credits roll.
(all cheering)
Spencer helps Rosco play the xylophone.
Rosco says OH, OKAY, OKAY,
SO-- SO I START WITH A C?
Spencer says YEAH, START WITH A C.
Rosco says C.
Spencer says THEN D.
Rosco says D.
Spencer says THEN E.

Spencer says TRY ONE MORE TIME, ROSCO.
Rosco says OKAY, OKAY, I'LL GO FASTER.
Spencer says NO-- OH, WE DON'T GO FASTER
WHEN WE'RE PRACTICING.
WE SLOW IT DOWN.
Rosco says OH, OKAY, OKAY, OKAY.
C, D, E, F,
G, A, B, C.
YEAH!
OH, I DID IT.
Spencer says YEAH, VERY GOOD, ROSCO.
NOW YOU CAN HAVE

(tinkling)
OH, SO MUCH FUN, OH, THANK YOU.
THANK YOU FOR THE LITTLE
LESSON, MR. DE MAN.
Spencer says YOU'RE WELCOME, ROSCO.
WELL, THAT'S ALL THE TIME
I THINK WE HAVE TODAY, ROSCO.
Rosco says OH, GOD, CAN-- CAN
I THANK OUR FRIENDS AT HOME?
Spencer says OF COURSE YOU CAN.
Rosco says OH, THANK YOU EVERYONE
WATCHING
AT HOME, AT SCHOOL OR ONLINE.
I REALLY ENJOYED
LEARNING WITH YOU TODAY.
Spencer says SAME HERE, ROSCO,
AND THAT'S IT FOR THIS EPISODE
OF TVOKIDS
POWER HOUR OF LEARNING.
REMEMBER TO GET
AWAY FROM THOSE SCREENS,
AND SPEND SOME TIME OUTSIDE.
Rosco says OH, OH,
AND DON'T
FORGET YOU ARE AWESOME!
OH, YEAH. OKAY, UM,
UM, NOW CAN WE TRY MY GAME?
Spencer says SURE, ROSCO,
AND AFTER WE DO THAT,
WHY DON'T WE GO ON

I WANT TO GET OUTSIDE.
Rosco says OH, DOUBLE AWESOME.
(TV static)

(upbeat piano music plays)
Rosco sings THERE'S LOTS OF PEOPLE IN THE
