[Ada] Know what we need?
A deep dive to learn more about science.
20
00:01:08,443 --> 00:01:09,403
Let's go!
21
00:01:09,944 --> 00:01:13,954
B.R.I., we wanna learn more about science,
but we can't decide what kind.
22
00:01:14,032 --> 00:01:17,622
[B.R.I.] Random selection,
my favorite way to search.

00:01:17,702 --> 00:01:20,502
Exploring my files for information on…
24
00:01:20,580 --> 00:01:22,460
all kinds of science.
25
00:01:22,957 --> 00:01:26,417
Oh! Look at all the fun science
I have found.
26
00:01:26,503 --> 00:01:28,253
Enjoy, Questioneers.
27
00:01:29,506 --> 00:01:31,506
[crowd laughing]
28
00:01:33,218 --> 00:01:35,888
Oh, hi. I'm Alie Ward.
I'm a science communicator.
29
00:01:35,970 --> 00:01:38,640
And today we'll talk about
the science of laughter.
30
00:01:38,723 --> 00:01:40,683
-[toy squeaks]
-Oh, hold on.
31
00:01:42,102 --> 00:01:43,312
[laughs] Wait, what?
32
00:01:43,853 --> 00:01:45,153
[chuckles]
33
00:01:48,274 --> 00:01:50,284
Do you know that you are born to laugh?
34
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,860
If you've ever laughed,
it's not just all in the mind,
35
00:01:53,947 --> 00:01:55,777
it affects your whole body.
36
00:01:55,865 --> 00:01:58,535
What's controlling
all these physical actions?
37
00:01:58,618 --> 00:02:00,578
Well, it's your brain.
38
00:02:02,789 --> 00:02:06,039
When you laugh, a lot chemically is
happening in your brain,
39
00:02:06,126 --> 00:02:09,666
and those chemicals
affect your whole body.
40
00:02:09,754 --> 00:02:12,384
It's not enough
to just think something's funny.
41
00:02:12,465 --> 00:02:14,085
The actual act of laughter…
42
00:02:14,175 --> 00:02:15,675
[laughing]
43
00:02:16,302 --> 00:02:17,722
…of gasping… [gasps]
44
00:02:17,804 --> 00:02:21,774
…and smiling, even slapping your knee,
all releases endorphins.
45
00:02:21,850 --> 00:02:26,520
And that's a physical chemical process.
It doesn't happen if you're just going…
46
00:02:27,355 --> 00:02:28,515
[flatly] "That's funny."
47
00:02:29,274 --> 00:02:32,574
One of the best things
about laughter is that it's contagious.
48
00:02:32,652 --> 00:02:35,282
So, one person laughs…
49
00:02:35,363 --> 00:02:36,663
[imitates laughter]
50
00:02:36,739 --> 00:02:39,239
…before we know it,
someone else starts giggling.
51
00:02:39,325 --> 00:02:42,745
We have something in our brain,
those are called mirror neurons,
52
00:02:42,829 --> 00:02:45,539
and they see other people
experiencing emotion,
53
00:02:45,623 --> 00:02:49,463
and we start to feel the same emotion.
Why? It helps us bond.
54
00:02:49,544 --> 00:02:52,964
So, you start laughing in a group.
Boom! What's the result?
55
00:02:53,464 --> 00:02:56,684
Friendship, smiles, and more laughs.
56
00:02:58,136 --> 00:03:01,676
So, now that we've learned about laughter,
what is funny?
57
00:03:01,764 --> 00:03:03,934
Well, usually the unexpected.
58
00:03:06,686 --> 00:03:08,186
He wasn't expecting that.
59
00:03:08,855 --> 00:03:10,225
I was expecting this, though.
60
00:03:10,315 --> 00:03:11,475
[kids laughing]
61
00:03:11,566 --> 00:03:12,976
Fun fact!
62
00:03:14,652 --> 00:03:16,822
Did you know that even rats laugh?
63
00:03:16,905 --> 00:03:20,735
It's true. And it's so high-pitched
human ears can't detect it.
64
00:03:20,825 --> 00:03:23,285
Next time you see a rat,
it could be giggling.
65
00:03:23,369 --> 00:03:26,369
[both giggling]
66
00:03:31,669 --> 00:03:35,509
What's up? Maynard Okereke here,
also known as the Hip Hop M.D.
67
00:03:35,590 --> 00:03:37,840
I'm a civil engineer
and a science communicator,
68
00:03:37,926 --> 00:03:40,966
and today we'll learn
about the engineering and science
69
00:03:41,971 --> 00:03:43,261
behind building a tent.
70
00:03:47,268 --> 00:03:48,848
Tents give us an understanding
71
00:03:48,937 --> 00:03:51,147
about some cool engineering principles,
72
00:03:51,231 --> 00:03:54,531
but before we discuss those concepts,
we need to build this.
73
00:04:00,114 --> 00:04:04,204
What's probably the most important
structural element, our rods.
74
00:04:04,285 --> 00:04:07,825
These rods are important,
because they're strong and flexible.
75
00:04:07,914 --> 00:04:10,464
They'll hold your tent up. It won't break.
76
00:04:10,541 --> 00:04:13,841
We have two rods in the middle,
a rod on either side,
77
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,170
this provides the framework of our tent,
78
00:04:17,257 --> 00:04:21,137
which we can now inhabit,
and be able to sleep comfortably inside.
79
00:04:21,719 --> 00:04:24,429
One thing you'll notice
about our tent structure
80
00:04:24,514 --> 00:04:26,184
is this unique dome shape.
81
00:04:26,266 --> 00:04:28,426
But why is it shaped like a dome?
82
00:04:28,518 --> 00:04:31,348
This shape gives it
the ability to be aerodynamic.
83
00:04:31,437 --> 00:04:33,727
When you're out
camping in windy conditions,
84
00:04:33,815 --> 00:04:37,485
the wind flies right over this,
gives it wind resistance.
85
00:04:37,568 --> 00:04:41,158
Also, when it rains,
all the water runs nicely to the sides,
86
00:04:41,239 --> 00:04:43,619
so you stay nice and dry
while you're camping.
87
00:04:43,700 --> 00:04:45,370
So many elements go into play
88
00:04:45,451 --> 00:04:48,201
when designing something
as simple as a tent.
89
00:04:48,288 --> 00:04:49,248
Fun fact.
90
00:04:49,330 --> 00:04:53,130
Instead of tents being constructed
out of materials like nylon or polyester,
91
00:04:53,209 --> 00:04:54,209
like they are today,
92
00:04:54,294 --> 00:04:56,504
some of the earliest tents ever built
93
00:04:56,587 --> 00:04:59,047
were made out of
the fur of woolly mammoths.
94
00:05:06,764 --> 00:05:09,734
Hello, I'm Kanten Russell,
skate park designer.
95
00:05:09,809 --> 00:05:12,649
We'll talk about designing a skate park.
96
00:05:17,108 --> 00:05:19,398
There's a lot of things
we're trying to think about
97
00:05:19,485 --> 00:05:23,195
to be very inclusive for everybody,
whether you're a beginner,
98
00:05:23,281 --> 00:05:26,331
intermediate-level
or advanced-level rider.
99
00:05:26,409 --> 00:05:28,579
So, looking at this layout,
100
00:05:28,661 --> 00:05:32,461
you can see that there is
an area here for beginners.
101
00:05:32,540 --> 00:05:37,800
We specifically had the most
low-elevated feature here at the entry.
102
00:05:37,879 --> 00:05:41,719
We call this a manual pad,
which is a low grindable ledge.
103
00:05:41,799 --> 00:05:44,639
And then as you go to the back here,
104
00:05:44,719 --> 00:05:47,679
you start to get
a little higher of these blocks.
105
00:05:47,764 --> 00:05:49,774
So, you can go on the bottom, on the top,
106
00:05:49,849 --> 00:05:52,269
you can jump down from the top to bottom.
107
00:05:52,352 --> 00:05:54,732
And then the simulated backyard pool.
108
00:05:54,812 --> 00:05:57,942
That's your more advanced-level
feature in the park.
109
00:05:58,024 --> 00:05:59,984
Everything has a tie-in to each other.
110
00:06:00,068 --> 00:06:04,568
We have engineering that goes into this
with all the elevations and the grading.
111
00:06:04,655 --> 00:06:07,655
And the structures
and the elements we're designing
112
00:06:07,742 --> 00:06:09,582
have to not only be skateable,
113
00:06:09,660 --> 00:06:13,710
but they also have to
be structurally sound.
114
00:06:15,416 --> 00:06:18,836
After we finish the design of the park,
we have to test it.
115
00:06:24,509 --> 00:06:25,549
Fun fact!
116
00:06:25,635 --> 00:06:28,255
In the 1970s when skateboarding started,
117
00:06:28,346 --> 00:06:32,136
people had to sneak into backyards
to skate empty swimming pools.
118
00:06:32,225 --> 00:06:34,345
Now that skate parks are more common,
119
00:06:34,435 --> 00:06:37,725
we have been able
to put real authentic pools
120
00:06:37,814 --> 00:06:39,364
right into the design.
121
00:06:48,574 --> 00:06:52,204
Hi. I'm Lieutenant Brian Cunningham.
I'm a pilot in the Navy.
122
00:06:52,286 --> 00:06:54,366
I'll be talking about parachutes
123
00:06:54,455 --> 00:06:57,535
and the kind we use here
at Naval Air Station North Island.
124
00:06:57,625 --> 00:06:58,705
Let's go look at one.
125
00:06:59,961 --> 00:07:02,131
This parachute is so big.
126
00:07:02,922 --> 00:07:04,422
It's taller than I am.
127
00:07:04,507 --> 00:07:07,217
This is the harness
that holds on to the pilot.
128
00:07:07,301 --> 00:07:09,681
Attached to the harness,
called the risers,
129
00:07:09,762 --> 00:07:14,522
that's these long string-looking chords
that go all the way up to the canopy.
130
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:18,900
When you first jump out of the plane,
it feels like you're weightless.
131
00:07:18,980 --> 00:07:20,860
You're falling through air.
132
00:07:20,940 --> 00:07:25,240
But as the parachute opens,
all of that air fills the parachute
133
00:07:25,319 --> 00:07:28,699
and starts to slow you down,
you start feeling like you're floating,
134
00:07:28,781 --> 00:07:30,371
you're moving with the wind.
135
00:07:30,450 --> 00:07:33,490
You'll notice that
the parachute is different colors
136
00:07:33,578 --> 00:07:36,208
so that if we have to
bail out of the aircraft,
137
00:07:36,289 --> 00:07:39,459
each one of these colors
can create a camouflage for the pilot,
138
00:07:39,959 --> 00:07:42,459
whether they land in a forest environment,
139
00:07:42,545 --> 00:07:46,005
in a desert with lots of sand,
or in a cold area with a lot of snow.
140
00:07:46,090 --> 00:07:50,640
This fourth color is orange,
so that if we need to be rescued,
141
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:52,890
we can use it as a signaling device.
142
00:07:52,972 --> 00:07:58,642
All of this is actually
going to be stuffed into this pack.
143
00:07:59,395 --> 00:08:02,105
How the parachute is packed
is incredibly important,
144
00:08:02,190 --> 00:08:04,610
so that when it does come out and deploy,
145
00:08:04,692 --> 00:08:07,112
it doesn't get twisted up or anything.
146
00:08:08,070 --> 00:08:09,450
Fun fact!
147
00:08:09,530 --> 00:08:12,660
The military sometimes will
have dogs attached to them
148
00:08:12,742 --> 00:08:14,202
as they jump out of the plane.
149
00:08:14,285 --> 00:08:15,535
They're called paradogs,
150
00:08:15,620 --> 00:08:19,830
and they're trained to be able to jump out
with a parachute like this one.
151
00:08:19,916 --> 00:08:21,626
Come on, pup. Let's go.
152
00:08:27,423 --> 00:08:30,513
Hey, who are you?
I've never seen you here before.
153
00:08:30,593 --> 00:08:32,433
My name's Elliot Gavin Keenan.
154
00:08:32,512 --> 00:08:36,722
I'm a PhD student at UCLA,
and I study psychology.
155
00:08:36,807 --> 00:08:40,687
Psychology is the science
of how people think and behave.
156
00:08:40,770 --> 00:08:42,860
And I'm autistic.
157
00:08:42,939 --> 00:08:46,819
Autism is a certain kind of thinking
158
00:08:46,901 --> 00:08:49,901
and a different kind of brain
that some people have.
159
00:08:49,987 --> 00:08:52,407
Today, I'm going to be talking about
160
00:08:52,490 --> 00:08:55,790
some of the benefits
of having different kinds of brains.
161
00:08:57,870 --> 00:09:00,290
Autistic people tend to see the world
162
00:09:00,373 --> 00:09:03,673
a bit differently than
people who are not autistic.
163
00:09:03,751 --> 00:09:07,381
Autistic people tend
to see the details first.
164
00:09:07,463 --> 00:09:09,513
For example, someone with autism
165
00:09:09,590 --> 00:09:13,180
might see and draw a house
166
00:09:13,261 --> 00:09:16,561
by drawing the windows
and the doors of the house
167
00:09:16,639 --> 00:09:20,519
before they draw the structure
of the house itself and the roof.
168
00:09:20,601 --> 00:09:22,901
But someone who is neurotypical
169
00:09:22,979 --> 00:09:27,019
is most likely to draw first
the structure of the house itself
170
00:09:27,108 --> 00:09:30,318
and the roof,
and then the doors and the windows.
171
00:09:30,403 --> 00:09:33,363
In the end, these houses look
pretty much the same.
172
00:09:34,156 --> 00:09:36,116
A lot of what I do as a scientist
173
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:37,580
is I look for patterns,
174
00:09:37,660 --> 00:09:44,170
and the ability of some
autistic people to see details first
175
00:09:44,250 --> 00:09:48,420
makes them very good at seeing patterns.
176
00:09:48,504 --> 00:09:50,214
Some patterns are simple.
177
00:09:50,298 --> 00:09:53,378
This is a pattern
and we see three repetitions,
178
00:09:53,467 --> 00:09:56,677
but there are some patterns
that are more complicated.
179
00:09:56,762 --> 00:10:00,272
Now, can you tell what the pattern is?
180
00:10:01,350 --> 00:10:04,900
If you break it down
into its individual units,
181
00:10:04,979 --> 00:10:10,359
you can see that
blue and yellow together makes green.
182
00:10:10,860 --> 00:10:14,360
Red and yellow together makes orange.
183
00:10:15,823 --> 00:10:18,783
Having such
a detail-oriented processing style,
184
00:10:18,868 --> 00:10:22,998
autistic people are really good
in careers like computer programming,
185
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:27,340
where the ability to see
a tiny detail makes a big difference.
186
00:10:27,418 --> 00:10:28,838
Fun fact!
187
00:10:29,754 --> 00:10:33,174
Your brain is
just as unique as your fingerprint.
188
00:10:33,257 --> 00:10:37,257
It's different from
everybody else's in the whole world.
189
00:10:42,683 --> 00:10:45,483
Hi, I'm Angela Sanchez and I'm a magician.
190
00:10:45,561 --> 00:10:47,231
And today I'll show you
191
00:10:47,313 --> 00:10:49,693
some magic that uses science.
192
00:10:49,774 --> 00:10:51,284
Come on, let's go.
193
00:10:51,359 --> 00:10:55,199
For this next trick, I need five dollars.
Anyone got five dollars?
194
00:10:55,279 --> 00:10:56,109
Five do-- Oh!
195
00:10:56,697 --> 00:10:57,527
Hey!
196
00:10:59,033 --> 00:11:02,083
I'll do something
very special to this five dollars.
197
00:11:02,161 --> 00:11:03,951
I'm going to light it on fire.
198
00:11:06,916 --> 00:11:09,036
Why doesn't the bill burn?
199
00:11:09,126 --> 00:11:12,206
The science, really,
behind this trick is chemistry.
200
00:11:12,797 --> 00:11:15,297
We covered this bill in alcohol and water.
201
00:11:15,383 --> 00:11:19,183
Alcohol is very flammable,
it catches on fire very easily.
202
00:11:19,261 --> 00:11:21,181
So, while the alcohol s burning,
203
00:11:21,263 --> 00:11:24,063
the water is actually
protecting your money.
204
00:11:24,141 --> 00:11:26,811
This is why
science is so important to magic.
205
00:11:26,894 --> 00:11:30,614
If I didn't know
the right ratio of water to alcohol,
206
00:11:30,690 --> 00:11:32,820
well, I wouldn't have five bucks.
207
00:11:34,819 --> 00:11:37,069
Whether you're lighting stuff on fire
208
00:11:37,154 --> 00:11:39,574
or even making something change colors,
209
00:11:39,657 --> 00:11:42,827
there's a lot of
different effects that rely on science.
210
00:11:42,910 --> 00:11:46,120
Science helps you unlock
a bigger world of magic
211
00:11:46,205 --> 00:11:48,245
and also become a better magician.
212
00:11:48,791 --> 00:11:51,751
Fun fact!
There's an Olympics for magicians.
213
00:11:51,836 --> 00:11:54,796
Every three years,
the World Magic Championships takes place,
214
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,300
and it's where magicians
show off their best tricks.
215
00:12:02,763 --> 00:12:06,023
Hi, I'm Lasheeda Perry,
and I am a pastry chef.
216
00:12:06,100 --> 00:12:11,060
Today, we are going to learn
how temperatures affect your ice cream.
217
00:12:12,148 --> 00:12:15,028
Making ice cream is all about temperature.
218
00:12:15,109 --> 00:12:19,739
Our cream and milk,
that serves as the liquid for our recipe.
219
00:12:21,866 --> 00:12:23,156
We have our base,
220
00:12:23,242 --> 00:12:27,252
but it will not become ice cream
until we pour it into this machine,
221
00:12:27,329 --> 00:12:28,789
which freezes it.
222
00:12:28,873 --> 00:12:31,503
So, I'm going to
go ahead and grab the bowl.
223
00:12:31,584 --> 00:12:35,674
It's very important
that this bowl is very, very, very cold,
224
00:12:35,755 --> 00:12:40,465
because that's the only way this ice cream
is going to become ice cream.
225
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,469
I can see the ice cream is churning.
226
00:12:46,557 --> 00:12:47,807
It's not ready yet.
227
00:12:47,892 --> 00:12:51,732
I'll lift it up so you can see
the consistency of it right now.
228
00:12:51,812 --> 00:12:55,522
See how it is getting thicker?
It's very similar to snow.
229
00:12:55,608 --> 00:12:58,858
Snow is essentially a liquid, right?
It-- It's water.
230
00:12:58,944 --> 00:13:01,704
And when it's in very,
very cold temperatures,
231
00:13:01,781 --> 00:13:03,411
it creates ice crystals,
232
00:13:03,491 --> 00:13:06,791
and those ice crystals'll
form and compact to each other.
233
00:13:06,869 --> 00:13:09,709
It's the same thing
when you're making ice cream,
234
00:13:09,789 --> 00:13:11,619
you are freezing ice crystals.
235
00:13:11,707 --> 00:13:13,417
Look at that.
236
00:13:14,084 --> 00:13:16,054
We made ice cream!
237
00:13:17,171 --> 00:13:21,181
Eventually, anything
that's frozen will melt,
238
00:13:21,258 --> 00:13:26,058
because if it's supposed to be frozen,
it needs to be at a certain temperature.
239
00:13:26,138 --> 00:13:29,178
But when you take it
out of that cold environment,
240
00:13:29,266 --> 00:13:30,766
it's going to melt.
241
00:13:32,686 --> 00:13:33,686
Fun fact!
242
00:13:33,771 --> 00:13:39,111
One of the first forms of ice cream
was actually taking a flavored syrup
243
00:13:39,193 --> 00:13:41,613
and pouring it over fresh snow.
244
00:13:41,695 --> 00:13:43,695
Snow that tastes good.
245
00:13:45,950 --> 00:13:47,370
Hi. I'm Christine.
246
00:13:47,451 --> 00:13:48,951
I'm a science teacher,
247
00:13:49,036 --> 00:13:51,576
and today we'll talk
about weather balloons
248
00:13:51,664 --> 00:13:55,044
and [yelling] weather.
249
00:13:55,125 --> 00:13:56,995
-[record scratches]
-Is it snowing?
250
00:13:59,213 --> 00:14:04,433
This is our weather balloon, and this is
a really, really, really big balloon.
251
00:14:04,510 --> 00:14:07,050
Weather balloons
go way up in the atmosphere.
252
00:14:07,137 --> 00:14:09,967
It actually goes up
higher than an airplane does.
253
00:14:10,057 --> 00:14:11,597
The balloon tells scientists
254
00:14:11,684 --> 00:14:14,404
what the conditions
of Earth's atmosphere are.
255
00:14:14,478 --> 00:14:17,108
It's important to know
if big storms are coming.
256
00:14:17,189 --> 00:14:19,189
This right here is a payload box,
257
00:14:19,275 --> 00:14:21,065
and it includes some materials
258
00:14:21,151 --> 00:14:22,901
that go up on a weather balloon.
259
00:14:22,987 --> 00:14:27,657
These sensors right here are
going to tell me about the wind,
260
00:14:27,741 --> 00:14:29,831
the temperature, and the pressure.
261
00:14:30,578 --> 00:14:33,538
But since this is going up
so high in the atmosphere,
262
00:14:33,622 --> 00:14:35,252
planes need to see it,
263
00:14:35,332 --> 00:14:38,752
so it's reflective
so that they know what it is.
264
00:14:39,503 --> 00:14:41,213
Now, we'll get ready to launch.
265
00:14:43,173 --> 00:14:47,683
We're going to release in three, two, one…
266
00:14:52,933 --> 00:14:55,903
So, by launching these balloons,
we can understand
267
00:14:55,978 --> 00:14:58,308
and know a whole lot more about storms.
268
00:14:58,397 --> 00:15:02,227
And that can make some
of the things that we don't know about,
269
00:15:02,318 --> 00:15:03,778
that maybe we're scared about,
270
00:15:03,861 --> 00:15:05,991
it can make those things less scary.
271
00:15:06,071 --> 00:15:07,701
Fun fact!
272
00:15:08,198 --> 00:15:09,908
Every day in the United States,
273
00:15:09,992 --> 00:15:12,752
almost 100 weather balloons
are launched twice a day,
274
00:15:12,828 --> 00:15:14,038
morning and afternoon.
275
00:15:18,292 --> 00:15:22,092
Hey, my name is Rory Aronson
and I'm a robotics engineer.
276
00:15:22,171 --> 00:15:25,761
Today we'll learn how robots work,
kind of like this one.
277
00:15:28,886 --> 00:15:32,346
This is where we design
and build all of the farming robots.
278
00:15:32,431 --> 00:15:35,771
The robot that I created
takes care of plants for you.
279
00:15:36,894 --> 00:15:39,444
Here we have some of our test robots.
280
00:15:40,731 --> 00:15:42,901
Here we have all of our spare parts
281
00:15:42,983 --> 00:15:44,403
in case anything breaks.
282
00:15:44,485 --> 00:15:46,235
We even have stickers.
283
00:15:47,529 --> 00:15:50,449
The first thing we do
when we're designing robots
284
00:15:50,532 --> 00:15:54,082
is we go into our computer system
and we design the parts.
285
00:15:54,161 --> 00:15:56,751
Once we come up
with a design we're happy with,
286
00:15:56,830 --> 00:15:58,540
we go and we build prototypes
287
00:15:58,624 --> 00:16:01,094
and we see how well this works.
288
00:16:01,669 --> 00:16:05,839
This right here, this is
the very first farm bot that I built.
289
00:16:05,923 --> 00:16:10,013
You can see that it's rusty now
because I used the wrong materials.
290
00:16:10,094 --> 00:16:11,724
But I learned from that mistake,
291
00:16:11,804 --> 00:16:15,434
and now the new farm bots are
made from aluminum and they don't rust.
292
00:16:15,516 --> 00:16:18,726
So, this is version one of the farm bot.
293
00:16:18,811 --> 00:16:21,771
We had to do
version one, two, three, four,
294
00:16:21,855 --> 00:16:23,265
all the way up to 15
295
00:16:24,024 --> 00:16:27,194
to get to this one,
which does all sorts of things.
296
00:16:27,277 --> 00:16:29,487
Whenever you want to control a robot,
297
00:16:29,571 --> 00:16:32,031
you need to tell it
exactly what you want to do
298
00:16:32,116 --> 00:16:34,026
through sequences and code.
299
00:16:34,118 --> 00:16:37,118
Pretty much every robot
that you'll ever come across
300
00:16:37,204 --> 00:16:39,504
will have something like this inside.
301
00:16:39,581 --> 00:16:41,751
And it controls with electricity,
302
00:16:41,834 --> 00:16:43,844
the motors and the lights
303
00:16:43,919 --> 00:16:46,629
and all of the other functions
that the machine can do.
304
00:16:48,048 --> 00:16:49,218
Fun fact!
305
00:16:49,299 --> 00:16:51,839
There are robot parts all over your house.
306
00:16:51,927 --> 00:16:55,007
For example, the microwave,
refrigerator and washing machine
307
00:16:55,097 --> 00:16:59,227
all have motors, electronics,
sensors, just like a robot.
308
00:17:07,693 --> 00:17:09,903
Hi, I'm Brett Doar
and I'm a contraptionist,
309
00:17:09,987 --> 00:17:14,067
and that means I build
machines kind of like this.
310
00:17:14,158 --> 00:17:16,118
We'll talk about friction.
311
00:17:17,745 --> 00:17:22,285
So, low friction means that this can
move a lot easier across this,
312
00:17:22,374 --> 00:17:27,054
and high friction means
that it's a lot harder for it to slide.
313
00:17:27,838 --> 00:17:29,918
So, you can see what happens…
314
00:17:31,759 --> 00:17:35,889
And it's friction that's causing this
to stop and for this to tip over.
315
00:17:35,971 --> 00:17:38,851
So, the ball can
start the contraption, like so.
316
00:17:44,313 --> 00:17:47,273
Building these machines is
all about trial and error.
317
00:17:47,357 --> 00:17:49,937
I have to make sure
each individual part works
318
00:17:50,027 --> 00:17:53,697
so that once you put them together,
they'll all work together.
319
00:17:54,323 --> 00:17:56,783
The first step in making
one of these machines
320
00:17:56,867 --> 00:17:59,697
is that I just start
playing with materials.
321
00:17:59,787 --> 00:18:01,287
That's always exciting,
322
00:18:01,371 --> 00:18:04,371
it's always thrilling to solve a problem.
323
00:18:04,458 --> 00:18:07,918
And to know that there is a solution.
324
00:18:13,550 --> 00:18:15,640
I got glitter all over me.
325
00:18:18,180 --> 00:18:19,810
And remember, safety first!
326
00:18:21,100 --> 00:18:22,810
Fun fact!
327
00:18:22,893 --> 00:18:27,313
When you rub your hands together,
it generates heat because of friction.
328
00:18:27,397 --> 00:18:30,277
So, the next time it's cold weather
and your hands get cold,
329
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:33,279
you can warm them up with friction.
330
00:18:35,864 --> 00:18:36,704
Ooh, it's hot!
331
00:18:44,373 --> 00:18:46,173
Hi, I'm Gabriel Santos.
332
00:18:46,250 --> 00:18:49,920
I'm a paleontologist and today,
we'll learn about fossils.
333
00:18:50,003 --> 00:18:52,013
[animals roaring]
334
00:18:53,132 --> 00:18:57,512
So, when we say fossil,
fossil means evidence of past life,
335
00:18:57,594 --> 00:18:59,764
so they can be multiple things.
336
00:18:59,847 --> 00:19:04,137
Usually we think of bones,
but other things can make up fossils too.
337
00:19:04,226 --> 00:19:06,306
You can have footprints, shells.
338
00:19:06,395 --> 00:19:09,435
You can even have
fossilized poop that we call coprolites.
339
00:19:11,191 --> 00:19:14,031
If you look at the fossil,
this is the bone right here
340
00:19:14,111 --> 00:19:16,491
and this gray stuff
is what we call "matrix."
341
00:19:16,572 --> 00:19:20,332
Matrix is the rock that
surrounds all of the fossil.
342
00:19:20,409 --> 00:19:23,199
Our preparators,
which are special paleontologists,
343
00:19:23,287 --> 00:19:27,167
get them all nice and pretty
and ready for research and display.
344
00:19:27,249 --> 00:19:29,539
Preparators use
a lot of specialized tools.
345
00:19:29,626 --> 00:19:34,716
So, here we use things called air scribes.
Air scribes are mini jackhammers.
346
00:19:34,798 --> 00:19:38,508
So, here's the tip
and air goes through this part here
347
00:19:38,594 --> 00:19:40,224
and vibrates it up and down
348
00:19:40,304 --> 00:19:43,104
so that it'll
remove the matrix from the fossil.
349
00:19:43,765 --> 00:19:46,515
For some fossils
where the matrix is very hard,
350
00:19:46,602 --> 00:19:51,362
it can take months to even years
to fully prepare a fossil by researchers.
351
00:19:53,609 --> 00:19:55,029
Fun fact!
352
00:19:55,986 --> 00:19:57,816
This is the wing of Quetzalcoatlus,
353
00:19:57,905 --> 00:20:00,445
the largest flying animal
to have ever existed.
354
00:20:00,532 --> 00:20:02,452
When you put its two wings together,
355
00:20:02,534 --> 00:20:04,414
it's about the size of a jet plane.
356
00:20:04,494 --> 00:20:07,294
And when it stood up,
it was the height of a giraffe.
357
00:20:16,131 --> 00:20:19,341
Hi, I'm Lieutenant Brian Cunningham,
call sign "Waldo."
358
00:20:19,426 --> 00:20:21,046
A call sign is like a nickname.
359
00:20:21,136 --> 00:20:24,386
And I'm a naval aviator,
which means I'm a pilot in the Navy.
360
00:20:24,473 --> 00:20:28,023
Though I don't fly this very often,
I do fly the real thing.
361
00:20:28,101 --> 00:20:29,021
Let me show you!
362
00:20:30,354 --> 00:20:32,404
This is the helicopter that I fly.
363
00:20:32,481 --> 00:20:35,691
This is the MH60 Sierra,
also known as the Seahawk.
364
00:20:36,568 --> 00:20:40,448
And in here… is the cabin of the aircraft.
365
00:20:40,530 --> 00:20:44,160
We can carry passengers,
food and water and supplies.
366
00:20:44,243 --> 00:20:46,123
Make this anything we need it to be.
367
00:20:46,203 --> 00:20:47,873
These are called rotors.
368
00:20:47,955 --> 00:20:51,115
The main rotor allows us
to adjust our pitch,
369
00:20:51,208 --> 00:20:53,498
which allows us to go up and down,
370
00:20:53,585 --> 00:20:56,375
as well as our roll,
which allows us to go left and right.
371
00:20:56,463 --> 00:20:59,473
All the way back here is our tail rotor.
372
00:20:59,549 --> 00:21:00,929
Without the tail rotor,
373
00:21:01,009 --> 00:21:04,469
our helicopter would
just continue to spin in a circle.
374
00:21:05,138 --> 00:21:07,598
So, right here up front is the cockpit.
375
00:21:07,683 --> 00:21:10,483
This is where the pilots
sit and steer the helicopter.
376
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:12,350
When I started flying helicopters,
377
00:21:12,437 --> 00:21:16,017
it took me a long time
to get used to all these buttons.
378
00:21:16,108 --> 00:21:19,278
But, just like anything,
the more you practice,
379
00:21:19,361 --> 00:21:22,281
the easier it is to find
the button you're looking for.
380
00:21:22,364 --> 00:21:24,784
And up here,
it even has a windshield wiper.
381
00:21:26,618 --> 00:21:29,658
So, if you noticed,
there's no place to put a key,
382
00:21:29,746 --> 00:21:33,036
like when you're driving in a car.
How do you start this?
383
00:21:33,125 --> 00:21:36,165
Well, you can't just hop in,
push a button and get started.
384
00:21:36,253 --> 00:21:38,013
It's an entire checklist.
385
00:21:38,088 --> 00:21:41,838
We're checking systems
to make sure that they function properly,
386
00:21:41,925 --> 00:21:44,385
checking lights
to make sure that they turn on.
387
00:21:45,220 --> 00:21:46,760
We're ready to go fly!
388
00:21:47,681 --> 00:21:48,851
Fun fact!
389
00:21:48,932 --> 00:21:53,062
A helicopter like this one
can fly in any direction.
390
00:21:53,145 --> 00:21:55,605
If it wants to fly forward,
it can fly forward.
391
00:21:55,689 --> 00:21:58,279
Side to side,
or it can even fly backwards.
392
00:21:58,358 --> 00:22:01,948
If a plane were flying this way
and wanted to go back that way,
393
00:22:02,029 --> 00:22:05,369
it has to actually make
the entire turn the other way.
394
00:22:05,449 --> 00:22:07,529
That's why helicopters are better.
395
00:22:08,118 --> 00:22:11,578
[Ada] That was incredible!
I love science! Thanks, B.R.I.!
396
00:22:11,663 --> 00:22:15,463
[B.R.I.] You're welcome, Questioneers.
I learned a lot too.
397
00:22:15,542 --> 00:22:16,502
Bye-bye.
398
00:22:18,503 --> 00:22:20,513
