Welcome to "Camp TV."

Brr!

It's cold in here.

I sure could use some hot chocolate.

[ Wind stops ] [ Grieg's "Morning Mood" plays ] Ahh!

Starting to get warmer.

Oh, wow!

And look at all the beautiful flowers blooming.

[ Breathes deeply ] I love the smell of fresh-cut grass.

[ Fwoosh! ]

Ooh.

Hoo!

Is it just me, or is getting super warm in here?

I could use a cool glass of water.

But... Brr!

It's getting colder now.

And suddenly I'm in the mood for anything that's pumpkin spiced.

Weird.

Winter, spring, summer, fall.

Today is My Favorite Season Day on "Camp TV."

According to the weather forecast, now is the perfect time to head over to your first activity.

See you in a few.

I want to get that thing on CD.

-What's a CD?

-It's a little flat circle thing.

-Time's a flat circle.

-[ Sighs ] -Curiosity and wonder.

Let's discover together.

It's Science Wow!

-Hi.

My name is Mark, from the San Antonio Museum of Science and Technology.

Today, we're going to talk about rockets.

What is a rocket?

A rocket is an instrument that we use here to send things into space, such as like a satellite, maybe a rover, people.

But what is a rocket, exactly?

Well, a rocket has four elements.

One of them is going to be the nose.

The next one is going to be the body.

It's going to have some fins and then it's going to have combustion.

In order to build a rocket, you're going to need scissors, tape, a straw pen, pen or pencil, a ruler.

Also, you're going to need a piece of paper and you're going to draw a rectangle.

It's going to have the measurements of 1 inch by 4 inch.

And then you're going to have triangles.

It doesn't matter how big is your triangle.

You can make it smaller, you can make it bigger, you can have two, you can have three, or you can have four.

That will help you for your fin.

Now, we start cutting our rocket.

Let's cut the rectangle and then the triangle.

Now I finished cutting four triangles and one rectangle.

It doesn't matter how many triangles you want.

I choose four.

Let's start building our rocket.

The first thing you're going to need is your pencil to wrap it around your paper.

Kind of like a taco.

Get your tape.

♪♪ Ah, the first part is done.

Now, if you can't do it by yourself, you can always ask someone to help you.

♪♪ You get the second piece of tape... and wrap around on the top.

♪♪ Now that I have done the bottom and the top, let's do one along side.

♪♪ What do you know?

There goes my -- my body.

Now, the next thing I want to know -- do is fold the tip of my body.

Just like so.

Got some more tape.

♪♪ And there you go.

Now you got a tip.

We use a straw because we want it to be smaller than the diameter that we use when we put it inside our rocket.

To finalize this, we're going to get our fins, and we're going to attach them to the bottom of our rocket.

So grab your tape... ♪♪ ...grab your fin...

The fins are going to be important for us to have.

Why?

Because they're going to help us to keep direction.

And there you go.

I have one done.

Grab your fin again.

♪♪ And now I have two.

Now that I have finished my rocket.

Let's test it, shall we?

I have a rocket, and I have my straw.

So, you will put it inside.

And when I test it first, zero degrees.

I don't have a protractor.

How do I do that?

Use your hand parallel to the ground.

Ooh, let's see how far that goes.

Use my feet.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11.

Let's test it one more time.

What about 45 angle degrees?

45?

How do I measure that?

Zero.

45.

♪♪ This time, it changed.

Let's see.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

Let's test it one more time, shall we?

What about 90 degrees?

Let's see what happens.

90.

♪♪ One, two, three, four, five.

♪♪ So, as you can see, we tested different angles and with different distances.

How fun was that?

You can make it shorter.

You can make it longer.

One fin, two fins.

You're the engineer.

You decide.

Have fun building your own rocket.

♪♪ -Welcome back to My Favorite Season Day on "Camp TV."

Do you have a favorite?

I happen to love winter.

I love when I'm the first person who gets to walk on fresh snow.

I love ice skating, sledding, celebrating the holidays with family and friends.

Well...

I also kind of love the spring.

I mean, the smell of fresh rain, watching the trees begin to bloom and bud.

And who doesn't love baby animals?

Well... Come to think of it, I also really like summer.

I mean, no need to bundle up layer after layer.

The feeling of warm sunshine on my skin.

Well, and what about fall?

I mean, really, stomping on crunchy leaves?

Or if you're lucky enough, jumping into a huge pile of them?

[ Sighs ] Yeah, it is too hard to pick just one.

So my favorite season?

Winter, spring, summer, fall.

In other words, I love them all.

Jump, dance, play.

It's time to get active.

Let's Move.

♪♪ -Hi.

My name is Hyisheem.

-And my name is Shemar.

-And today we're going to teach you how to execute a basic one-two step combination.

But before we do, we want to make sure that you're wearing comfortable clothes.

And there's your arm's length away from others for safety.

We also want to make sure that our knees are slightly bent and our hands are as sharp as scissors.

This is for precision and to make sure that we're totally in control of our movements.

Ready?

Let's begin.

We're going to begin with one foot and we're going to start with a single stomp.

You want to make sure you're giving enough energy for this stomp to actually make a sound like this.

[ Stomp! ]

-Kind of sounds like a beat.

-Yeah.

Now let's try it with our other foot and make sure we're carrying over that same amount of energy so it'll sound something like this.

[ Stomp! ]

-Now, let's add both steps together to create a one-two step, something like this.

[ Stomp!

Stomp! ]

-Now let's see you try it.

[ Stomp!

Stomp! ]

[ Stomp!

Stomp! ]

[ Stomp!

Stomp! ]

-Perfect.

[ Stomp!

Stomp! ]

-Now we're going to add two handclaps to our one-two step.

That will create a combination.

-Can we see you do the one-two step?

[ Stomp!

Stomp! ]

Great.

-Now what we're going to do is, we're going to add a hand clap to your side... [ Clap! ]

...and then a hand clap to your other side.

[ Clap! ]

And this is going to make your combination come full circle.

Like this.

[ Stomp!

Stomp! ]

[ Clap!

You're doing great.

Now let's add more movement to the claps.

-After your one-two step, I want you to twist your body and then crouch down and clap once between your legs.

[ Clap! ]

Then come back up, twist to the other side, crouch down, and clap once more.

[ Clap! ]

-Now, let's see you try it.

[ Clap!

Clap! ]

Perfect.

Now let's add that to the one-two step in order to form a combination, like this.

[ Stomp!

[ Clap!

Now let's do it all together, like this.

[ Stomp!

[ Clap!

[ Stomp!

-Now let's add some flair to the claps.

-Before, we twisted our bodies, crouched down, and clapped under our legs.

Now let's try lifting one of our legs, clapping over it, and then clapping under it.

And it'll look something like this.

[ Stomp!

Stomp! ]

-Perfect.

Now let's try adding that to the one-two step in order to form a different combination like this.

[ Stomp!

[ Clap!

Now that you've mastered the basics to stepping and clapping, what we're going to do is we're going to add some more advanced arm movements.

-Remember, your arm has to be sharp like scissors.

-When we're going to do this, we're going to move our arms in a fashion that will allow us to create an X shape, and it will look something like this.

Now you try it.

Perfect.

-Now let's add it to the one-two step.

Like this.

[ Stomp!

-Perfect.

Now let's try doing it all together, like this.

[ Stomp!

[ Chuckles ] A little birdie told me it's time to go wild.

-Hi, guys.

Welcome.

My name is Jeannine, and I'm an environmental educator here at Save the Bay in Rhode Island.

Today, we're going to discover how all living things are connected, and we're going to explore food chains and food webs.

Has anyone out there ever heard of a food chain or a food web before?

I'm going to give you guys an example.

So, last night, I ate a locally caught striped bass to give me the energy to be here and to teach you guys today.

I ate the striped bass to get my energy, and the striped bass got its energy by eating smaller fish.

The small fish got their energy by eating different types of seaweed.

But how did the seaweed get its energy?

Seaweed gets its energy from the sun.

Plants like seaweed use the sun's energy, water, and carbon dioxide to create their own food and sugar for their energy.

They also create oxygen for us to breathe.

Producers are the base of the food chain, and they're where everything, including us and different types of animals, get our energy.

There are producers all over the world, and that's really important because producers give us the energy we need to survive and they create the oxygen we need to breathe.

Everything else, like animals and people, are what we call consumers because we have to consume.

We have to eat food to get our energy.

Consumers can eat different types of producers like fruits and vegetables, or we can eat animals just like how I ate the striped bass to give myself the energy to be here today.

This transfer of energy from one organism to another is how we create our food chain.

Today, what we're going to do is we're going to explore one of the food chains we have right here in Narragansett Bay.

So let's check it out.

The first link in our food chain is going to be our producers or those organisms that create their own energy from the sun through photosynthesis.

Here we have our seaweed.

This is the base of the food chain here in Narragansett Bay.

But if you don't live by the water, the base of your food chain might be trees, flowers, plants, or grasses.

The energy our producers create will be passed on to the next link in our food chain when they get eaten.

The next link in our food chain are going to be our periwinkles.

Our periwinkles are sea snails that love to explore the rocky shore, grazing for different types of seaweed and algae here in Narragansett Bay.

Now, our periwinkles only like to eat other types of producers or different types of plants, which makes them a herbivore.

You might have heard of a herbivore when you think about a rabbit or a deer.

The next link in our food chain is going to be our sea stars.

Sea stars also love to explore the rocky shore here in Narragansett Bay.

Their favorite time is when the tide goes out and a brand-new habitat is created called a tide pool.

Our sea stars love to explore these tide pools looking for periwinkles or also looking for really big mussels.

Our sea star will find a mussel.

It'll use its arms and all of its suction cups to open up that muscle.

Our sea star will send its stomach into the mussel's shell, it will digest the mussel's body, and then the sea star will bring its stomach right back into its body.

Isn't that crazy?

Now, our sea star only likes to eat other types of animals, which makes this guy a carnivore.

The next link in our food chain is going to be our spider crab.

Our spider crabs love to roam the bottom of the bay, and every time they take a step, they use the bottom of their feet, which have taste buds to help them search for both plants and animals.

Because our spider crabs are eating both plants and animals, that makes these guys an omnivore, just like us.

All right.

Are you guys ready to head to the top of our food chain here in Narragansett Bay?

Well, the top of our food chain here is going to be our local state fish, the striped bass.

The striped bass has no natural predators all year 'round, which makes it one of our apex predators.

You might have heard of an apex predator if you've thought of the king of the jungle, like a lion or a tiger.

Or maybe if we went even deeper into the ocean, we'd find a great white shark.

These are all really great examples of an apex predator.

Humans are also at the top of our food chain, which makes us apex predators, as well.

Now, it's not easy being at the top of the food chain because as energy is passed on from our producers to every link in the food chain, energy is lost.

So apex predators and animals at the top of the food chain like us need to have special adaptations to help us survive.

Now, as we look at our food chain that we just explored here in Narragansett Bay, do you think these animals only eat one type of food?

No.

These animals, just like us, have a complex diet and eat a variety of different things.

What do you think our food chain would look like if we added more animals?

Let's find out.

Over here is the food chain we just explored in Narragansett Bay, but I added a few more animals.

As I started to link all our animals together, I noticed that our food chain starts to look more like a web.

A food web more accurately describes what's going on here in Narragansett Bay and what's going on in your ecosystem, as well.

Every single organism plays an important role in our food web, and if any of them were removed, it would impact the entire food web and could even change our ecosystem.

For example, if we remove the sea star out of our food web, what could happen is our mussels could take over the rocky shore and they might not leave any space for other animals, like our seaweed, our periwinkles, or our little fish that other animals rely on, as well.

Every animal plays an important role in balancing our food web and connecting us to different plants and animals.

It's important to learn and take care of our food webs and our ecosystems.

-A little birdie told me it's time to go wild.

[ Birds chirping ] ♪♪ -Hi.

Since it's summer and it can be a bit tricky getting to the beach or a pool right now, I figured we could all use a way to cool off.

Let's make a paper hand fan -- one of the most underrated heroes of the summer, if you ask me.

You will need construction paper, some craft sticks, glue, some dental floss, and a little patience.

To begin, fold your paper in half and cut it down the middle.

Begin folding the paper like this again and again and again.

♪♪ Then repeat for the other half of the paper.

Once you've folded both sheets of paper, glue them together.

♪♪ Fold the fan in half like this.

Take a piece of dental floss and wrap it around the middle.

Then, glue the two sides together.

Put glue on two craft sticks and fold them into the sides of your fan.

♪♪ Let it dry, and there you have it.

And if that was a little too complicated for your taste, you can always just do this.
