Step right up to center stage.

Hey musical explorers I'm Chen Low, - I'm Asante.

- And we're Soul Science Lab.

- And you're going to be learning hip hop with us today.

So today you're learning "Hip Hop Hooray" by Naughty by Nature.

We wrote our own lyrics to this song and we wrote about having fun, making music, - and celebrating life.

The hook is really simple, It goes like this: ♪ Hip Hop Hooray!

Ho!

Hey!

And we're gonna let DJ Skin tell you a little bit about what he does.

[turntable sounds] - Hey musical explorers.

I'm DJ Skin.

I am a hip hop DJ.

These are my turntables.

This is my instrument.

First off, it's the breakbeat, it's the basic groove of hip hop.

[hip hop music] Another part of hip hop music is scratching.

[scratching sounds] Now let's put them both together, breakbeat and scratching.

[hip hop song with scratching] And now back to Soul Science Lab.

[scratching sounds] - Now we're going to learn how to beatbox.

We're going to learn using two simple words, boots and cats.

Boots and cats and boots and cats and boots and cats and boots and cats.

Now let's put it together and I'll show you how that transforms into beatboxing.

boots and cats and boots and cats and boots and cats [boots and cats turn into beatboxing] - That's pretty good.

So now that we've learned the hook to this song and we've learned how to beatbox, let's put it all together, have fun and we're going to invite you to perform with us.

- Let's do it.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So you should be getting up, standing up.

Let's get ready to have fun!

- Dance a little bit.

You can bop, but make sure you smile.

You ready for this?

- Lets go!

- [Zach] Daytime or Nighttime, it's always time for story time.

- Giant Panda Xiao Liwu was born on July 29th, 2012.

He is the sixth Cub born to his mother Bai Yun.

Mr. Wu started life in a cozy den.

He looked more like a white mouse than a Panda.

His eyes and ears were sealed and he depended on his mother to take care of him day and night.

[soft ukulele music] When the little guy was three weeks old, he got his first checkup.

He weighed one and a half pounds and finally looked like a tiny Panda.

He even squawked at the veterinarian.

[baby panda squawks] [soft ukulele music] At eight weeks old he got his first vaccination to keep him healthy.

He didn't mind the shot at all.

He was pretty sleepy at the time.

[soft ukulele music] By 10 weeks old, his eyes and ears had opened and he could see the people giving him his checkup.

He had a lot to say about that.

[baby panda whining] At three months old, the Cubs showed us his walking skills.

He still needed lots of practice.

People around the world voted for a name for our Panda Cub.

The winning name was revealed during the ceremony at the zoo.

After the Cub turned 100 days old.

Xiao Liwu means little gift, but would he stay in little for long?

Mr. Wu got his first toy, a hard plastic ball.

When he was almost five months old, he loved it.

[soft ukulele music] Then came the big day.

He walked down a tunnel all by himself and went outside to meet his adoring fans.

There were a lots of photographers there.

[upbeat music] Our five month old showed off his climbing skills.

Mr. Wu even tried to climb on his mom.

[upbeat music] Xiao Liwu saw snow for the first time when he was seven months old.

He was nervous when he first touched it and ran up a tree to get away from it.

But after a while, he came down and wrestled in the snow with his Mom.

[upbeat music] Before we knew it, it was time to celebrate Mr. Wu's first birthday.

Our nutritional services team made a delicious cake out of ice, apple slices, bamboo and other goodies.

It weighed about 200 pounds.

His keepers decorated cardboard boxes as gifts.

Xiao Liwu and his mom opened the gifts first and then checked out their cake.

[upbeat music] A few weeks later, more snow arrived.

Boy did Mr. Wu get dirty that day.

Pandas leave their mother when they're about 18 months old and we allowed Mr. Wu to do the same.

He got an exhibit all to himself.

[upbeat music] When Xiao Liwu turned two, he received a beautiful blue birthday cake, and he didn't have to share it with his mom.

[upbeat music] - Mr. Wu's father Gao Gao, gets his blood pressure taken every few days.

And Xiao Liwu is learning how to do this too.

He's also learning other things that will help the Panda team keep him healthy.

We are so proud of Xiao Liwu.

What do you think his next birthday cake will look like?

- Welcome back campers.

Hope you're enjoying your summer celebration day so far.

Feels like we could use a little more fanfare though.

I say we toot our own horn and make some noise and I know just the way to go about doing it.

Let's make some noise makers.

All you need is a toilet paper or paper towel roll, some wax paper, some safety scissors, a rubber band and whatever you'd like to decorate with.

I'm using a marker, but crayons and stickers work well too.

Start by coloring your paper roll.

[upbeat music] Then with the help of an adult, cut out a wax paper circle that's big enough to wrap around one end of the roll.

I like to fold my wax paper in half, draw a semi-circle, and then cut along the line.

[upbeat music] Then secure the wax paper to the end of the roll with the rubber band, you can double up the rubber band, if you need to.

Once again, with the help of an adult, carefully make a hole in the middle of the roll.

This hole, along with the wax paper, will make it vibrate.

Now get ready to make some noise.

[noise maker sounds] [laughs] Perfect.

- [Zach] You took the words right out of my mouth, write on.

- Welcome to Story Pirates Present: Show Not Tell!

I'm Lauren.

And today we are going to practice showing, not telling.

Using a setting or where the story takes place.

One great way to add a lot of details to your setting is using your five senses.

So we'll be thinking about what does the setting look like, sound like, smell like, feel like, and even tastes like.

Let's see an example.

The park is nice.

Let's see what that would look like.

- Oh.

Nice park.

- Well that was disappointing.

I just told you the park was nice.

I didn't show you any details.

What does nice even mean?

Let's add some details using our five senses.

In the park, the sun is shining, reflecting brightly off the slide.

You can hear birds chirping, bees buzzing and the sound of children laughing.

The smell of spring flowers is in the air and the ice cream from the ice cream truck is delicious.

The cool breeze is everywhere.

Let's see that.

- Ah!

What a beautiful day in the park, the sun is shining.

The flowers smell great.

[sniffs] Ah!

The kids are playing outside.

The ice cream tastes delicious.

[slurps] Ah!

I love it here.

- So much better didn't it feel like you were really there?

Let's try one more.

The house was spooky.

Let's see what that would look like.

- Hm.

Spooky.

- Oh no!

I forgot to add my five senses.

Let's try again.

The house was spooky.

There were broken windows and cobwebs covering the front porch.

The sound of squeaky floorboards was everywhere.

And a high pitched laugh was somewhere in the house.

The smell of rotting apples was in the air, The air which tasted like 100 year old cotton candy.

and was unnaturally cold.

Let's see it.

[sniffs] - What's that?

Smells like rotten apples Why are all these windows broken and this cobwebs everywhere.

[creepy laughter] Did you hear that creepy laughter?

It's getting colder by the second.

This is so spooky!

- That was amazing.

I'm really glad I'm not in that house.

[creepy laughter] Did you hear that?

[birds chirping] - Hi, my name is Spencer.

I'm a teacher and artist with the new Victory Theater.

And I came all the way to the woods so that we could talk about puppetry, which blends design, and performance.

Let's fly.

[whooshing sounds] Now we have our bird puppet, but it's time to bring it to life.

Otherwise it's just a piece of paper taped on a stick.

So we need to think how do birds move when they're flying, and what are the movements that we need to do with our puppet to make our audience believe that it's real.

So now it's time for flight school.

Can you make your bird puppet fly in a circle?

[whooshing sounds] Can you make your bird puppet fly in a figure eight?

[whooshing sounds] Can you pretend that your bird puppet is climbing [whooshes] and diving [whooshes]?

[whooshing sound] So this is your chance to start flying everywhere around your space and discover what it feels like to be a bird.

[whooshing sounds] Puppetry is a great way to be creative with your hands or with your whole body.

It can bring joy to your room or your entire neighborhood block.

And if you created a bird puppet that was inspired by someone that you know, you could give it to them as a gift, that'd be a cool thing to do.

[whooshing sounds] I'm going to need more bird seed.

[whooshing sounds] - Hi!

Is it just me or does it feel like our time together is already flying by?

Have you ever noticed that sometimes when you want time to go slow, it can feel like it's going too fast.

And when you want it to go fast, it can feel like it's going too slow.

Wouldn't it be cool if we could control how fast or how slow time goes by?

Sounds like a real challenge.

Which leads me to today's "Zach Challenge!"

This is a sand timer.

It's a way to literally watch the time go by.

The sand starts on one side and when it's flipped over, it filters to the other side.

Now the amount of time it takes for the sand to travel from here to here is timed.

This timer lets us know when one minute is up.

I use it to make sure I'm brushing my teeth long enough.

[brushing sounds] And this is my super-duper Camp TV, turbo timer booster.

I made it myself.

Let's see if I can shake things up and speed up time.

I'll have 20 seconds to get all of these gumballs, [clears throat] I mean sands of time from this end to the other.

[whistle blows] Wait what!

[upbeat music] [gumballs rattling] [Zach panting] That was hard.

See you after your next few activities.

Curiosity and wonder let's discover together.

It's Science Wow!

- Those few moments in life that really, really change your life.

- There's a spirit or a heart to that song.

- And we wanted to try to capture that visually.

[loud explosions] - Normally when we take a film, we're shooting still pictures many times per second.

- Like you can think of a flip book, it's just a series of frames and it creates an animation and that's basically what video is.

- To help us understand slo-mo I recorded myself jumping at 24 frames per second.

That means that the camera, which is recording me, is taking 24 photographs, every second.

Those photographs in film and video language are called frames.

So we'd say that this camera's frame rate is 24 frames per second.

Now you're watching this video playback at that same speed at 24 frames per second.

So all of my movements here, they look normal because they're playing back at the same speed.

But if I record myself jumping at the frame rate of 240 frames per second, that means that the camera is taking 10 times more pictures every second.

So when we play back those 240 pictures at the regular speed of 24 pictures per second then one second of me jumping takes 10 seconds of real time to play back.

For the one moment video, the camera we use can shoot up to 6,000 frames per second.

That's 250 times faster than normal cameras.

- So the camera was in some ways the real star of this video - Slow motion starts to let you see into timeframes that you are absolutely not familiar with.

It turns out that the difference between a bullet flying through the air and a water balloon popping are actually wildly different.

They're just both super fast to us because our perception is pretty limited.

- In the beginning of the video, I, I start with a flip book.

And I was told that I would have to perform a couple of different steps in a very fast shot.

That I was going to have to flip through this gigantic flip book while trying to show as many pages as possible in a fast amount of time.

And then the other thing was that I was going to have to lip sync.

[flipping pages sounds] [singing really fast] ♪ That all of this will end ♪ I had to rehearse it a lot.

And the thing was is that we couldn't set off the paint and everything until we shot it.

Cause it was just a lot of paint.

There's gonna be a lot of cleanup.

So I would just have Damien basically screaming to my ear as I tried to rehearse these things [Damien screams] in the hopes that, that would be enough to get me through the actual take.

And it basically did.

[beeping sounds] [loud explosion] - How are you feeling?

- I feel good.

- Your shoes look great right now.

- I know they look cool.

- I was doing second verse, spinning this flip book inside a box.

There's a water tank right next to me, that gets hit with a projectile, right when the section starts.

And then right on the other side of me, there are all these glass balls that fall and break and I have to sing a line and my line was "So while the mud" and this one like a lot of the sections of this video, we shot once.

Because we filled the water tank and we were about to do the shot and the water tank just broke on its own and spilled 50 gallons of water on the set.

That reset took I think three hours.

- My role in the one moment video was to hold this pipe that had a blade on the end.

The pipe itself was pulled by a motorized super-fast piston that would pull the pipe across 10 or 50 feet.

And the blade on the end would slice through paint cans.

The whole start last for a quarter of a second.

- Obviously we're going to end the video with us covered in paint.

- At the end of the video we wanted most of us to be flying into frame.

- So one idea was to trampoline ourselves into frame.

- Go!

Eventually we settled on we would use wires and we would get pulled into frame.

And so someone pulls a wire, we're wearing like a harness that's attached to another wire, and we get pulled up and over and we fly.

- The dance we were trying to choreograph, all of these beautiful, slow motion things.

It's all happening in a realm that we can't directly access.

The only way I can talk to those events is through math.

- 100.5, 209.25 - There was so much math involved in this video to make sure that things happened in time.

And it's very cool to see how math can turn into something so beautiful and so creative.

[everyone cheering] - [Zach] Who's ready for a field trip?

[medieval music] - Hi I'm Ella and I'm interviewing Caleb to see how to see about all the plants and how they grow in the medieval times.

- Hi, I'm Caleb and we're in the Bonifant Herb Garden.

- Caleb is a horticulturist.

He takes care of the plants and the gardens.

What makes a plant medieval Caleb?

- In the herb garden, we call the medieval plants all the plants that would have been used in the middle ages.

Plants that would have been used as magic, plants that would have been used as medicine, plants that would have been used to make clothes, to dye those clothes, Plants that would have been used for food; vegetables, fruits, all sorts of things.

- So in the Medieval Ages they were very important to people?

- Exactly.

So we say, we call medieval plants, plants that we know that they used in the middle ages.

- Caleb where are we right now?

- So this is our tool shed.

This is called a woad ball.

- What's a woad ball?

- This is the plants, the leaves of the plants are all smashed up.

Then they're allowed to ferment for a little while, they're left in a little bucket of water and they get kind of stinky.

[sniffs] - Ew!

- Yeah, they ferment.

But what you get from this, when you put it in a water later on is you get a really good dye bath.

So you get these blue dyes from this plant.

Pretty cool.

Lots of teaching tools in here, right?

We're growing plants that were used in the tapestries, in the unicorn tapestries upstairs.

They're all dyed with plant material, some plant dyes.

So in this bed we grow those plants that were used to dye our clothes, used the dye tapestries.

This plant is pretty neat.

It's got that same little yellow flower.

So this plant was used as a dye color dye.

- Ah!

What color dye do you think you'd get from this plant?

- Uh.

Maybe.

Well yellow is already taken over there, so I don't know.

Not really.

- That's pretty good.

A lot of people say yellow when they see the plant.

But this is actually where we get the blues from.

- Yeah.

- Remember we were talking about woad and I showed you that stinky ball in the garden shed.

- Yeah.

- That's all of these leaves.

These are our pomegranates.

And we have a couple of fruits on them which is really neat.

So they would have used the little seeds, the little parts of the fruit, they would have used it as a spice.

In the tapestries you can see pomegranate.

Yeah.

But what's really neat.

Is that the fruit doesn't, it looks very similar.

You can see the fruit, but they have it actually like in the top of the plant and it doesn't look like this.

- In the real world I got to see it, and in the picture I got to see it, it's very interesting because they have the same thing outside and inside.

This is Ella sighing off from the Cloisters.

[medieval music] - [Zach] A little birdy told me it's time to go wild!

- Hi Everyone.

And welcome to the Memphis zoo.

My name is Nikki and I am an animal interpreter.

Which means I'm a zookeeper that helps teach people about animals and share those animal's stories.

I'm joined here by my friend, Kelso, the African penguin.

You might also see Millie popping in and out.

They're going to get the chance to wander and explore while you and I get to dive in and learn all about penguins.

Now, penguins are really special animals.

And a lot of people love them, but a lot of people also don't realize what kind of animals they are.

So let's get that out of the way to start with.

Even though they don't fly, penguins do have feathers.

They have beaks and they lay eggs.

So penguins are birds.

Now these ocean loving birds are one of my favorite animals.

So let's get to know them a lot better.

What makes them special and even ways we can help them.

Now, do you know what you call a penguin at the North pole?

Lost.

Very Lost.

You see all penguins live in the Southern hemisphere.

There are 18 different kinds of penguins and only four of them live in those icy cold places that we often think of penguins living.

Some of them live as far North as the Galapagos islands which are up near the equator, right in the middle of the planet.

Now Just as many different places as penguins live.

There's also a wide variety of sizes that they come in.

The smallest species of penguin is the little blue penguin also called the fairy penguin.

They live in Australia and are only about a foot and a half tall.

But the biggest penguin is the emperor penguin.

They do live in that Icey Antarctica and they can get up to four feet tall, which is as tall as my shoulder.

That is a big bird.

I want all of you guys to help me out.

Our friend Kelso here is going to help us out too.

And Millie is too, if she decides to come hang out with us We're going to be biologist and do some observations on penguins.

So Kelso, I apologize.

I'm going to need my other hand even though you're very comfortable right now.

Excuse me.

I want all of you to get out your binoculars.

Ready?

Okay.

Go ahead and put them on.

Yeah, you too.

Get your binoculars.

Are you ready?

We're going to be biologists and get an up close look at what makes pink penguin special.

Are you ready?

All right, let's do it First.

Take a look at those feathers.

Penguins are covered in teeny tiny feathers all over their body.

And they have muscles at the base of each feather that helps them lift them up and lower them down to help either cool them off or keep them warm.

Now, when penguins are swimming you'll often see little bubbles coming out from behind the penguin and no they're not passing gas.

Those bubbles don't come from their behind.

They come from underneath their feathers.

As they swim, they push those feathers down squeezing out the air that keeps them warmer in chilly waters where they like to swim.

And it makes them more hydrodynamic which means it makes it easier for them to get around in the water.

All right, now I want you to take an up close look at their feet and tail.

Those feet and tail are like a built-in steering system for penguins.

When they're swimming, the feet and their tails guide them where they want to go.

As they're swimming around hunting for fish.

All right, now I want you guys to take an up close look at those wonderful wings that penguins have.

Like I said, they're not fliers in the air but they do fly through the water.

Little tuxedo torpedoes like our friends, Kelso and Millie can swim up to 12 miles an hour.

Which is twice as fast as the best human swimmers.

We've got nothing on them.

Now, those wings are really great at helping them propel through the water while they're swimming.

It pushes them forward.

And then when they're on land, they can also use them to give a nice, hard wing flap to any other penguin that might get too close to their nest.

Ouch.

I'm glad I'm not penguin.

Now finally check out their tongue.

Look at that strange bristling tongue.

That is a perfect kind of tongue for a penguin to have because they love eating fish.

So that bristled tongue holds onto their slippery snack allowing it to stay in their mouth, so they can swallow it whole and get their meal.

Now African penguins share plenty of features with their other penguin species that are out there.

But there's a lot that makes them unique as well.

African penguins are the only kind of penguin that lives in Africa.

They live along the coast of Namibia in South Africa making their home on Rocky beaches.

Oh, hi, Millie.

Thanks for joining us.

Now, if you guys get up close, look, you might notice that African penguins like Kelso and Millie have white spots on their feet and around their beak.

That's like a built-in air conditioning system.

The places that they live never get too cold and they never get too hot, but just like us sometimes they need to cool off and warm up too.

So whenever they do get too warm they're able to push blood to those places.

And those white spots become bright red.

Their blood is cooled off by the breeze and then pumped through the rest of their body, Helping bring the temperature down just a little bit right Kelso?

Yeah.

Now African penguins, like to make their nests out of little pebbles and even their own poop.

Which is kind of gross, but it works for penguins and they love swimming around looking for all kinds of yummy fish to eat.

Now do you want to learn how to call like an African penguin?

I know you do.

I like to think of it as almost sounding like a backwards donkey.

So donkey say, Hee Haw!

Hee Haw!

but African penguins say, Haw Hee!

Haw Hee!

Can you do it with me?

Are you ready?

Let me know how well I do.

Haw Hee!

Haw Hee!

Pretty fun right?

African penguins can dive up to 400 feet below the surface of the water.

That's as long as a football field.

And they can hold their breath for over two minutes.

Now I have to be honest with you guys as cute and fun as penguins are, unfortunately they are in a lot of trouble.

We only have about 3% of African penguins left from a hundred years ago.

That's like going from a hundred dollars down to having only $3.

There aren't very many left.

So it's important that places like the Memphis Zoo and our partners at other zoos around the country have penguins so that we can have plenty of healthy ones in a clean and safe environment.

So all of you can learn all about them and why it's important to care for them and do things to help them.

But you don't have to be a zookeeper to save penguins.

You!

Yes you!

You can save penguins too.

That's great news.

One of the best things you can do to help penguins is be a voice for them.

Share what you've learned today with your friends and your family.

Help them understand why penguins are so great and why they need their help and the ways that we can help them.

Well, what about all that trash?

That's where you come in to.

Just by using less stuff you are able to help penguins and animals everywhere.

By making less trash there's less that winds up in the ocean that could accidentally hurt penguins.

And it's a great way to help animals everywhere.

Now you may be thinking but penguins live on the other side of the planet.

Why does it matter what I do?

Well, I got news for you.

We're all connected to the oceans that penguins call home.

Now I hope all of you enjoyed getting to meet our friends, Kelso and Millie as she popped in.

We hope you enjoyed learning all about penguins, especially African penguins and are excited to start doing one new thing to help them be healthier in the wild.

Bye friends!

- Welcome back it's Summer Celebration Day here on camp TV and I've found a perfect way to cool down on a hot summer day.

Painting with ice.

You will need one cup of water, some red, yellow, green, and blue food coloring, an ice cube tray, and some craft sticks.

Be sure to put down some old newspaper or something an adult says is okay to get messy.

Just in case we end up spilling.

Begin by carefully pouring your water into the ice cube trays, leaving a little bit of space towards the top.

Do your best to divide the water up evenly.

[upbeat music] Next, add just a tiny drop of food coloring to each cube.

There are 12 cubes total and I'd like to have an even amount of colors to paint with.

So I'm going to put a tiny drop of red food coloring in three of the cubes.

Then a tiny drop of yellow food coloring in three other cubes.

A tiny drop of blue food coloring in the next three.

And finally a tiny drop of green food coloring in the last three.

Three plus three is six, plus another three is nine, add three more and you've got a total of 12 ice cubes.

Mix well and place a popsicle stick into each ice cube mold.

[upbeat music] Put it in the freezer until it's frozen.

This can take four to six hours.

So be sure to prepare it ahead of time.

[upbeat music] When the ice is frozen, it's time to get painting.

[upbeat music] Pretty cool if you asked me.

- [Zach] Arts and crafts, yes, please!

Let's get artsy.

[dramatic music] [dramatic music continues] - [Zach] Jump, dance, play!

It's time to get active.

Let's move!

Today we'll be playing a game called fruit salad.

In this game we'll be making our body into all different shapes that represent different fruits and vegetables.

When I say the name of the fruit or vegetable make the shape that I make.

There will also be a chance for you to create your own way of making shapes.

What other fruits and vegetables will you create shapes for?

We didn't make a shape for raspberry or turnip.

I wonder what other fruits and veggies you can think of and make your own shapes.

Maybe you'll play with someone at home.

Great job.

See you soon.

Bye.

- [Zach] Daytime or nighttime, it's always time for story time.

- Oh, Hey.

I was just doing one of my favorite things.

Reading.

I love getting lost in the book.

Care to join me?

Summer Days and Nights by Wong Herbert Yee.

Summer days, so warm and bright, paint my room in morning light.

As cat naps in a patch of sun, my summer day has just begun In the meadow where daisies grow, I creep along on tippy-toe.

Behind a clump of rocks I stoop Up and over, down swip-swoop!

What's this inside my net?

Hmm...no butterfly just yet.

Summer days can get so hot, makes me steam like a tea-pot.

Beneath an oak tree in the shade I sip an ice-cold lemonade!

What else there to keep me cool?

Ker-SPLASH!

I jump into the pool.

An insect whizzes past my head.

It zips into the flower bed.

Buzz-Buzz-Buzz!

What's this I see?

A black-and-yellow bumblebee!

Summer's eve, before it's dark... HOORAY!

A picnic in the park.

From tree to tree I run and hide... WHEE!

I shoot straight down the slide.

We spread a blanket on the ground, plates and napkins passed around.

Guess who comes to join the fun?

Black ants, marching one by one.

A golden sun sinks in the sky, another summer day gone by.

Summer nights, too hot to sleep, From the windowsill I peep.

I hear a noise... A scritch-scratch sound.

Something's creeping on the ground.

Who is there outside my house?

Why, it's just a tiny mouse!

A shadow drifts across the grass.

I duck and wait as it floats past.

Hoo-Hoo, it cries...Who's calling me?

Oh look!

A barn owl in the tree.

Summer nights, moonlit skies, Winking, blinking fireflies.

I hear a splash, see something jump.

A voice croaks low: ba-rump, ba-rump!

A summer breeze blows through the trees.

It bends the branches, rustles leaves.

Across the field, on past the gate... My eyelids droop, it's getting late.

I crawl in bed, turn off the light... And dream of summer days...and nights.
