It's pretty incredible when you think about how many instruments there are out there, each making their own unique and beautiful sound.

The rhythm can make you feel like you've traveled to another part of the world, even when you're just standing in your own living room.

For example, when you hear a steel drum... [ Steel drum playing ] ...can you help but think of a tropical island or the beach?

And how about the maracas?

[ Maracas shaking ] Or didgeridoo?

[ Didgeridoo plays ] The music just carries me away.

Speaking of, there is an instrument I carry around with me all the time.

It's so small, it often gets lost in my pocket.

And truth be told, it's probably better suited for a chipmunk.

Want to see?

Hello, baby harmonica!

Isn't it cute?

Playing a little tune on it always puts me in a good mood.

[ Harmonica note plays ] Packs a powerful punch and proves that good things come in small packages.

See you after your next activity.

Magic and more.

Step right up to Center Stage.

-Now I'd like to introduce you to some instruments that I've collected from my travels around the world.

They're very unique instruments.

I can't wait for you to meet them.

The first one is called a water shaker.

It's made out of tied-up together dried fruit from a big tree that I got in Mexico City.

And when you shake this very gently with your fingers, it creates an illusion of running water.

Listen to this.

[ Crinkling ] Oh, it's so soothing.

Oh, my gosh!

I'm sorry.

Oh, it's so relaxing.

Let's meet another instrument.

I call that one the weird clicker.

It has three different sounds.

You see, each one of them is a kind of a little bit of a different shape and size, which changes the sound.

But they all have a very unique and distinct sound.

And together there is a great combo.

I got this one when I traveled to Vietnam.

Listen to this.

[ Knocking at different pitches ] [ Cheek pops ] The weird clicker.

The next one is a shaker, but it's a very unique shaker.

It's almost like a shaker that talks.

I call it the wah-wah shaker.

And it's a pair.

And I got this one in China.

In Shanghai, China.

In it -- It's a very tiny shaker, but in it are little tiny metal balls that shake around when you move it, but also can sound so unique.

Listen to this.

[ Crinkling ] It's kind of sounding like frogs are having a conversation.

And then you can sort of change the way it sounds by closing or opening your fingers, like this.

[ Rapid shaking ] ♪ Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah ♪ So fun.

You can also juggle it.

But it's not so safe.

So don't try it at home.

The next one is a very common instrument.

It's called a guiro -- or, in English, a gourd.

There's a brush, and you use that brush to kind of scrape through those ridges, and it makes this sound.

[ Scratching ] And then you can also tap it.

Repeat after me.

Slide.

Click, click.

Slide.

Click, click.

Slide.

Click, click.

Slide.

Slide.

Click, click.

Slide.

Click, click.

Slide.

Click, click.

Slide.

This particular one, this particular guiro is also a shaker.

And you can hold it this way and kind of shake it.

[ Guiro shaking ] So you can choose either to use it as a shaker or to use it as a guiro or also to use it as a mirror.

Oh.

I see I need to comb my eyebrows.

Sorry.

I should have done it before.

Oh, much better.

Okay.

Moving on.

This is an instrument that I think is ingenious.

It's from New York City.

And you know what?

Somebody really brilliant had this idea.

Wow.

A triangle is a really cool instrument.

And it sounds kind of, you know... [ Ringing ] ...unique.

But what if we attach to it... a bowl of water?

Listen to this.

[ Water sloshes ] There's water inside this metal bowl.

And what happens is when you play the triangle and you kind of wiggle it, this really unique sound comes out.

[ Ringing reverberating ] It comes with a face.

It's like a robot is talking to you.

Isn't that cool?

Excellent.

Now I'm going to hit pause, and you're going to go in a minute and try to find whatever you can find at home that will make a scraping sound like the gourd, a shaking sound like the metal shaker or the wah-wah shaker, and maybe even something that sort of clicks.

Okay?

Let's hit pause and go find them.

We'll be back in a second.

Okay.

So, I have two helpers that found really creative ideas on how to make cool percussive sounds out of everyday household stuff.

My son, Ravi, can you come here and introduce what you found?

-So, I found a spiral notebook and a plastic spoon, and I thought it would be cool that you could play it like a guiro.

[ Scraping ] -Like a slide, click, click.

I love it!

Okay.

Sit over here.

And my daughter, Shani.

What have you found?

-Hello.

So, yesterday I was cooking and I thought it would be really cool to use cooking utensils.

-Uh-huh.

So you have a serving spoon.

A metal serving spoon and a little spoon.

Yeah.

Yeah.

-So I thought you could balance it on your hand... -Oh, cool.

-...and kind of make a beat out of it.

So two times here with, like, just balancing.

-Yeah.

-And then you hold it when it goes on the other side.

-For a different sound.

Yeah.

That kind of remind us of the water triangle.

Very cool.

What else did you get over there in that box?

-I also made a water shaker.

Water in this small container.

-You put a little bit of water in a small container.

Let's shake it.

Let's see what it sounds like.

[ Water sloshing ] That's very cool!

You want to hear my idea?

-Sure.

-It's super creative.

I took a pencil.

Everyone has a pencil.

Even though we don't use it so much now in remote learning.

Right?

And then I took a hat and -- No.

Sorry.

And I took two plastic containers.

One bigger than the other.

Ravi, you like my jokes?

I hope they like them as much as you.

Okay, and then I thought like, oh, I can make a cool beat out of a lower sound and a higher sound.

[ Rhythmic tapping ] [ Cheek pops ] That's actually -- -Isn't that cool?

-That's a lot like Jasmine.

She has the big lower sound in the middle and the higher sound on the side.

-I know.

How about we make an ensemble?

Okay?

You'll do the slide, click, click.

You'll do your balancing gymnastics.

And I will play my super-creative, ingenious idea using a pencil and two containers.

Okay.

You ready?

Ready?

Ravi, you start.

One, two, three.

Ravi goes.

♪♪ I like it.

I'm feeling it.

Now, Shani, join him.

And... ♪♪ Is it my turn now?

Alright.

Here I go.

♪♪ ♪♪ Finish.

Five, six, seven, done!

-Curiosity and wonder.

Let's discover together.

It's Science Wow!

-Hello.

My name is Frantz Lucien.

And I'm a museum educator at the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum.

Now, the Intrepid is a large ship, but more importantly than that, it was an active aircraft carrier, which means that it was an active airport at sea.

And whether it was planes like jet-powered planes or propeller-powered planes taking off from Intrepid, they all utilize the same four forces of flight in order to take off and land safely.

So we're going to talk a little bit about those four forces right now.

Now, the first force is the force that pushes us forward.

This force is called thrust.

You may have experienced thrust if you've ever gone swimming.

When you push the water behind you, you end up going forward.

This is an example of thrust.

Now, the opposing, or opposite, force is the force that pushes us back.

This force is called drag.

Next force is a force that we all know and love.

This is the force that brings us down.

This force is called gravity.

And gravity works really well on things that weigh a lot like planes.

So planes take a little bit of work just to get up into the sky.

And that leads us to our last force, the force that actually brings us up off of the ground.

This is called lift.

And lift has all to do with the plane's wing.

Now, this is a plane wing, and it's the basic shape of a plane wing.

And it has this shape here called an airfoil.

You can see that it's curved at the top and flat at the bottom.

This is done on purpose.

As the plane is going through the sky, it's going to separate air into two sections.

Air at the top is going to be moving quickly.

Air underneath is going to be moving slowly.

This difference in speed causes a difference in pressure.

High pressure always wants to go to zones of low pressure.

So the high-pressure air pushes up on the plane's wing, causing you to generate lift.

Now, all of these work in concert with one another.

As you go forward, the faster and the more thrust you create, the more lift you're going to generate.

And then the more drag you have, the more things you have pushing against the wind, the more gravity is going to take over and you're going to land, right?

So we know that planes can go up and down and forward and back, but they can do a lot of other cool things, too.

And in order to examine this, we're going to do a really fun activity.

We're going to create our own paper airplanes that can do different tricks in the sky.

You all ready?

Here we go.

So, all you're going to need to make your cool paper airplane is a sheet of paper and some scissors.

The first step is to fold the paper right down the middle.

I like to call this the hot-dog method.

When you fold the paper down the middle, you want to open it up, and you're going to take the right-hand corner of the sheet of paper and fold it down toward the middle crease of the paper.

This should create a triangle.

You're going to do the same thing with the opposite side, the left side, as well.

You should have a triangle with kind of like a rectangle on the bottom.

Next, you want to take the right triangle that you created here, the right-side triangle, and you want to bend that and fold it toward the middle crease, as well, creating a very, very thin triangle on the right side.

Next, you want to do the same with the left side, creating an even thinner pyramid-style triangle on the top of your airplane.

Looking like this.

Next, you want to fold it hot-dog style again right down the middle.

So, that way, you have one triangle here.

Next, you're going to take either side and fold the wing.

You're creating the wing now.

You're going to fold this down the middle in half.

Down toward the bottom edge of the plane.

Looking like this.

Next, you want to take the opposite side and do the very same thing.

Your plane is pretty much done at this point, but we're going to add some really fancy flaps on the back.

So your plane should look a little like this.

Alright?

Next, you're going to take your scissors and you're going to just create two cuts on either wing.

On both wings there.

You have these cuts.

Now, these cuts are going to act as flaps.

These flaps act as control surfaces, able to control the plane as it's flying through the sky.

So what I want you all to do is experiment with folding these slightly up.

Just bend them slightly up just like this.

You can bend them up just like this.

Or you can put them down slightly just like this, as well.

And I want you to experiment with these flaps and see what happens when you fold them.

So, I want to thank you all for joining me for this very fun activity creating an airplane.

And I hope you all enjoy the rest of your day.

-What's better than playing an instrument?

Playing an instrument that you make, of course.

It's time to bring the music home.

Homemade tambourines, anyone?

You will need a paper plate, a hole punch, some string, markers, some cotton, and either some shells, buttons, bottle caps, or small bells.

In this case, I have some small bells.

To begin, take a paper plate and color it however you'd like.

When done, fold it in half.

Use the hole punch to make equally spaced holes around the rim.

Cut some pieces of string and thread the bells on each piece.

Fill the inside of the plate with some cotton and then tie the ribbons through the holes.

And now it's time to make some music.

Tapping, dancing, and shaking your tambourine are highly encouraged.

Have fun!

[ Bells ringing ] You took the words right out of my mouth.

Write On.

-Hey, Lauren.

Hey, Chris!

How's it going?

-Bad.

-Really?

-That doesn't sound so bad.

-It is, too, so bad!

I said it's bad!

How could that not sound bad?

-Well, I'm not convinced.

"Bad" is such an overused word that when I hear it, it just kind of sounds boring.

I mean, how bad could it be?

-Oh.

So you really want to know how bad it could be.

I don't think you're going to like this.

[ Ominous tones plays ] [ Boink! ]

To start with, my morning was disastrous.

When I was eating breakfast, I spilled oatmeal all over my pants.

I got orange juice in my eye.

And my little brother laughed at me.

-[ Cackling ] -Yikes.

-It gets worse.

I went out to walk my dog, and the way she was acting was abominable.

She pulled me so fast that I flew up in the air.

Whoa!

Not so fast!

Not so fast!

And when I told her to stop, she just went faster.

Whoa!

Then this afternoon, I went to relieve some stress by playing basketball.

-You love basketball!

At least that part of your day must have been good.

-Not at all!

I accidentally tied my shoelaces together and fell on my face.

Wah!

It was atrocious!

And then I was so embarrassed, I couldn't concentrate.

[ Cat screeches ] I was totally off my game.

It was dreadful!

And then to top it off, I ran into our neighbor from the next apartment.

-Hey!

[ Cackles ] -That guy is villainous!

[ Ominous music plays ] He plays his music so loud, it makes our walls shake!

And then when we ask him to turn it down, he turns it up even louder!

[ Rock music plays ] -He does sound bad.

-Not just bad.

Vicious!

♪♪ Wicked!

Nefarious!

Weren't you listening?!

-Wow.

That does sound like an awful day.

I'm sorry I doubted you.

My bad.

[ Buzzer ] I mean, my terrible.

[ Sad horn plays ] -Apology accepted.

Don't worry.

You're not such a nefarious gal.

-Thanks.

-Alright.

Well, I'll see you later, Lauren.

-Wait!

Chris!

Your shoelaces!

-Aah!

[ Crashing ] [ Chris grunting ] [ Cat screeches ] -Okay.

How great was that last segment?

And speaking of great, I believe it's time for the next great Zach Challenge!

In this hat are the seven main musical notes that make up a scale.

They are... Now, each letter represents a different pitch.

And pitch means how high or how low a sound is.

So, for example, C sounds like this.

[ C plays ] D Sounds like this.

[ D plays ] And then we have... ♪ E, F, G, A ♪ And finally... ♪ B ♪ My challenge will be to randomly pull the notes from my hat, line them up in the order they were removed, and play them in that order.

Let's see if I can make this sound halfway decent.

Alright.

♪♪ C. ♪♪ E. ♪♪ G. ♪♪ D. ♪♪ F. ♪♪ A.

♪♪ And...B. Alright.

Let's see.

♪♪ Oh.

Let's try that again.

♪♪ Well, that melody might need some fine tuning.

How about... ♪♪ Much better.
