All loyal friends of the "Camp TV" kingdom, make way for His Royal Highness, reigning head councilor, not to mention all-around great guy, King Zach!

[ Fanfare plays ] Ladies and Lords... princes and princesses... knights and nobles, good morrow to you all.

Today is a day like no other -- a day, dare I say, fit for a king... or queen, as the case may be.

You are hereby notified by royal proclamation that today is Royalty Day on "Camp TV."

Happily, I see you've donned your best, and I trust you've come prepared for all responsibilities that come your way?

Today we begin with Catapult and Archery first, followed by a no-sew design-your-own-armor tunic in arts and crafts.

And then -- Well, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I'm afraid it's your turn to clean up after the stadium unicorns.

[ Sniffs ] Whew!

But the good news is, it's followed by an extravagant banquet hosted by moi, where we will be partaking my favorite meal -- meat pie made of gosling, three capons, six chickens, ten pigeons, and a side of stuffing, minced loin of veal, 2 pounds of fat, and 26 hard-boiled eggs covered with saffron and flavored with cloves.

[ Sniffs ] Mmm!

[ Horse neighs ] Hark!

'Tis my carriage.

I must bid thee farewell.

[ Horse neighs ] Okay.

I'm coming.

Geesh!

[ Clears throat ] Ha!

And, you, make haste.

'Tis the hour for your first activity.

[ Horse whinnies ] Seriously?!

I-I'm in the middle of something right now!

Ahem!

Until we meet again.

[ Horse neighs ] [ Grumbling ] A little birdie told me it's time to Go Wild.

-When it comes to the animal kingdom, lions are known as the king of beasts.

And there are many reasons why this big cat rules.

Lions live in groups called prides that contain females and their cubs, a few related young males, and one adult male.

Most adult male lions have manes, while females are sleek.

There can be from 3 to 30 lions in a pride.

The lionesses work together to hunt and raise the cubs while the big male guards the pride and protects the territory.

[ Lion roars ] Lions are famous for their roar, which is how pride members keep in touch with each other and warn other lions that this territory is taken!

♪♪ Have you ever heard the expression "taking a cat nap"?

Well, lions like those a lot.

They can sleep about 20 hours a day.

With their golden coat, impressive roar, and playful cubs, it's easy to see why lions are so popular at the San Diego Zoo and Safari Park.

And that's no lion!

[lyin'] ♪♪ Welcome back, Your Majesties.

Are you tired of having only one crown lying around the house?

I mean, what happens when it's in the shop being polished or your siblings "borrowed" it again for the 100th time this week?

Well, I've got just the answer.

Today we are making a backup crown.

You will need some cardboard that's thick enough to stand but thin enough to bend -- something like a cereal box.

Some scissors, glue, tape or a stapler, some tin foil, and some items to bejewel and bedazzle.

Start with a piece of cardboard that's long enough so it can go around your head.

Cut a strip and leave enough width to cut a zigzag shape on top.

Next, take some aluminum foil and wrap it all around.

♪♪ Cut a zigzag shape along the top of the crown.

♪♪ Then decorate your crown with whatever you please.

♪♪ Oh, yeah.

There you go.

When it's decorated to your liking, you can tape or staple the crown from the inside and knight yourself royalty.

Huzzah!

Perfect!

Mmm!

Let's Get Cooking.

Hi.

I am Henry with America's Test Kitchen Kids.

And today I'm going to be showing you how to zest a lemon, juice a lemon, and make some amazing lemonade.

You first take your grater, and you put it at an angle over the cutting board.

You're then going to take your lemon and gently... And you just gently rub it against the grater.

And eventually the skin of the lemon is going to fall off.

This is called lemon zesting.

Lemon zest can be used to add a rich lemony flavor without taking any sourness from the lemon.

If you like the way a lemon tastes but you don't like a sour thing, then this is going to be perfect for you.

You can add it on top of cakes or put it with vegetables.

I will say be careful when you are grating it because you don't want to get your fingers on the grater because it could shave off a little bit of skin, and that doesn't feel too good.

And you know that you are done grating when most of the lemon becomes more of a pale-y, white yellow instead of the dark yellow that a lemon usually is.

After you're done, there's going to be a little bit of lemon zest still stuck in the grater.

So you're just going to want to tap it out.

And that's going to give you as much zest as possible.

And that is how you zest a lemon.

Now I am going to show you how to juice a lemon.

First, you would like to cut the lemon in half.

You should probably use the same lemon that you zested with.

You do this so you do not waste a lemon.

All the insides of a lemon will still be intact.

You're going to put the flat side of the lemon face down, and you're going to take a liquid measuring cup.

[ Muzak plays ] [ Muzak plays ] You take your liquid measuring cup and squeeze as hard as you can until all the juices come out.

♪♪ Be careful not to get the lemon juice inside one of your cuts because that would hurt.

You're going to want to do the same with the other side until you have enough lemon juice.

♪♪ That is how you juice a lemon.

Okay.

I'll put this over there.

[ Muzak plays ] So, I already made my lemonade from last night, but I am going to taste it for you.

I used 6 lemons with 3 1/2 cups of water and 3/4 cup of sugar.

♪♪ And it is very, very good.

Thanks for watching.

See you next time.

-Curiosity and wonder.

Let's discover together.

It's Science Wow!

♪♪ -Lore and Dean again from the Children's Museum.

Today, Dean and I are making a four-layer density tower.

If you're trying this experiment at home, you could really use any liquids that you find to experiment with.

What I had in the kitchen was vegetable oil, syrup, dish soap, colored water, and a glass.

Dean and I also got a few things to put inside of the density tower to see if they will sink or if they will float.

When creating your density tower, you're going to want to start with the most dense liquid first.

So have your student pick up each one and figure out which one they think is heaviest.

Dean and I started with syrup, and we're just going to fill that until you think it's right.

Followed by Dish soap.

Creating another layer.

♪♪ By creating a density tower, we're demonstrating the amount of mass or atoms that are presented in that particular volume of liquid that we have in front of us.

Dean and I then began to pour in vegetable oil, which went on top of the dish soap.

♪♪ And then we added water.

Now, this is a good experiment because water is heavier than oil.

So the water went under the oil but above the dish soap.

And there is our tower.

[ Splash! ]

And now we're going to start putting items in to see if they will sink, if they will float, if they will get stuck.

[ Splash! ]

♪♪ And this is something you could do with any little random trinkets at home that you find.

We tried it with a rock.

[ Boing! ]

Oh!

[ Splash! ]

♪♪ Do keep in mind, this experiment is not edible at all.

There are edible density towers you can make and drink.

Dean and I had some leftover Alka-Seltzer tablets from our last experiment and wanted to see if that worked.

It did not work out.

[ Laughs ] Thanks so much for watching.

-Arts and crafts?

Yes, please!

Let's Get Artsy.

-Hey, hey!

Angie here.

I'm gonna teach you guys how to make a beautiful macramé wall hanging.

You will need... a sturdy -- Um... A sturdy stick... some white string.

If you have colored string, you can use that, too.

A ruler or a tape measure.

Some fun-flavored drink mix.

A pair of scissors.

And 2 cups of warm water.

So now you're going to measure out your string 24 inches.

Because my ruler is 12 inches, I did 12 inches twice.

And then once you have it all measured out, you're going to cut it.

Snip, snip, snip.

Snip, snip, snip.

And you're going to want to do this nine times.

Now you're going to take your stick and you're going to take the string.

You're going to have a little loopy doopy at the top like that, and then you're going to take the two pieces and you're going to pull them through that loop just like that, and you're going to tighten it to make sure it doesn't fall off.

Ta da!

And you're just going to keep going with all of the other strings.

And once you've finished with all of the strings, you're going to want to cut another 24-inch piece, and you're going to tie it to the top so it can hang.

♪♪ Okay, so, now that we have our completed wall hanging, we get to the best part, which is the haircut!

So we're going to go hang it up somewhere and give him a haircut!

So you're going to want to cut in a diagonal with the longest piece in the middle and the shortest pieces on the side.

Please note that just because you're cutting string does not mean you can cut your hair.

Trust me.

I've tried.

♪♪ Now we're going to take our warm water, and we're going to put our fruit-punch mix in there and mix that all up.

Don't drink the warm fruit punch.

It's...not good.

Blegh!

So now we're going to take our freshly cut wall hanging and we're going to dunk him into the hot fruit punch.

Be careful because the water might be hot.

And we're going to let him sit there for 5 to 10 minutes.

Welcome back.

It's been 5 to 10 minutes.

Now you get to take him out, and you're going to squeeze out all of the excess into the cup.

And look at that!

How classy is that!

You guys have your own macramé wall hanging.

It's your turn.

-Welcome back to Royalty Day on "Camp TV."

Wasn't that last activity grand?

And now it's time to build a castle in the sky!

At least I hope so.

In today's... [Echoing] Zach Challenge!

Here, I have a standard 52-card deck.

[ Humming ] ♪♪ And here, a standard coffee table.

My challenge is to see how high I can build a castle of cards in under 30 seconds.

This is going to take a steady hand.

-I got to go to the zoo this winter, and I met all the animals and I talked to all of the zookeepers and I had the most amazing time.

And I learned so much.

And one of the things I learned was how birds communicate with each other.

Let's hear a little bit more about that right now.

This space is so amazing.

There are so many birds.

Where in the world are they from?

-We are essentially in Asia and South America, so what you're going to see in here is multiple species of birds from those two locations.

The temp in here is about 80 degrees, so it's very tropical and fun.

We have about 80 birds in here and 30 different species.

So you are surrounded by a canopy of music essentially.

-So, each bird has a unique song.

Can you describe some of the reasons birds sing?

[ Birds singing ] -Birds sing to attract mates.

They sing to protect themselves and protect their territory, to keep others away.

They'll also sing to warn other birds around them that maybe a predator is nearby or there's some sort of danger coming.

-[ Laughs ] Whew!

Hi, friends.

I was just learning how to fly.

Where did I get my wings from?

I made them.

You want to learn how to make your own, too?

Well, come on.

I'll show you.

Here's what you'll need.

[ Children cheer ] First, take your poster board and draw the shape of a wing the length of your arm.

I did mine off camera.

Next, using the first cutout, trace it onto the other poster board.

♪♪ Once you are finished tracing, cut out your second wing.

♪♪ Now grab your elastic band and measure the top half of your arm.

You'll want to end up with four bands total.

♪♪ Next, using the glue gun, glue the straps onto the poster board.

You'll want to have a grown-up help you with this.

Set aside the wings.

And now on to the feathers.

Using your paper, cut out an oval shape with a slight point on one end.

Repeat this until you have a good amount of feathers.

Now take a few feathers at a time and fold them lengthwise.

This next part is optional, but I cut skinny triangles to give the feathers a little more dimension.

♪♪ For the last step, take your spray glue or tape and start laying your feathers on top of your wings.

♪♪ And ta-da!

You now have bird wings.

[ Children cheer ] -Have you ever heard of a coat of arms?

No, it isn't a jacket made entirely of sleeves.

A coat of arms is a unique image or icon used to represent a family -- and, in many cases, a royal family.

It's often in the shape of a crest or a shield and made up of different colors and symbols.

Families choose colors and symbols that are important to them, and a coat of arms can appear on clothing or other important objects.

The very first coat of arms was used during the Middle Ages as a way for knights to identify each other.

When knights were in their full armor, it was sometimes hard to tell who was who.

So they began to paint symbols on their shields.

Eventually they began to put them on banners and then on a coat they wore over their armor, which is where we get the phrase "coat of arms."

Pretty cool, right?

So I thought it would be fun if we each made our own coat of arms -- unique, special, and different, just like you.

You will need a piece of construction paper, some markers, and your imagination.

Start by drawing a giant "U" and then draw a line across the top like this.

Next, divide the inside of your "U" into four quarters.

Now it's time to draw some symbols.

They should represent who you are and what's important to you.

What are some of your favorite things?

Your favorite food or activity?

Go ahead and pick a symbol that best represents it.

You can also choose symbols of things that make up your personality.

For example, you can choose an owl for wisdom, an arrow for protection, a bear for fierceness, or an eagle for strength.

The music symbol represents my love for performing music and listening to music.

♪♪ The pizza symbol represents my love for food.

I am definitely a foodie.

The puppy symbol represents my love for animals, especially for the newest addition to my family, Scout.

♪♪ And, finally, here we have the "Camp TV" logo because there's nothing I love more than being here with you.

♪♪ Arts and crafts?

Yes, please!

Let's Get Artsy.

-Hi.

I'm Fiona.

Welcome to the New York State Museum in Albany, New York.

Today we're making a porcupine craft with the help of our own handprints.

To do this craft, some of the materials that you'll need include paper, glue, googly eyes, a pencil, a black marker, and some scissors.

Now, porcupines are my absolute favorite animals, so let's get started.

The first thing we need to do is give our porcupine his quills.

So we're going to take our paper and trace our hand and then cut out that shape.

And once we have seven or more handprints, we can start building our porcupine.

I'm using a bunch of black and brown and tan colors to make a North American porcupine like the porcupine next to me on the table.

But there's a bunch of other color combinations that you can use.

If you were to use black and white paper, you might be making an African crested porcupine.

If you were to use all orange colors, you could be making a baby prehensile-tailed porcupine.

So a bunch of different ways that you can do it.

We're going to arrange our handprints so that we can see as many fingers, or quills, as possible.

So just like they're all spread out in my porcupine, we can see as many as possible and then glue each layer.

We want to make sure that the glue is on the palm of our hand, not on the fingers.

We'll glue each layer just like that.

Until we have... something like this.

So we can see all his quills peeking through all those different colors.

Now, our porcupine isn't quite looking like a porcupine yet.

We need to add his face.

So I'm going to use some of the scrap paper from my handprints before.

And cut off a little bit where there's at least one corner.

It's going to be smaller than the palm of my hand.

So I think I'm going to cut off around here.

And we want to leave one corner completely uncovered.

Maybe this one.

And that will be our face.

So I'm going to glue that scrap paper to my handprints.

Perfect.

Our porcupine needs an eye to see.

You can use two eyes or one eye, depending on if you want to look straight at your porcupine or its profile, where you'd only see one eye from the side.

I'm going to do one eye today.

And then to finish up our porcupine, I'm going to draw on the tip of that corner a nose so that he can smell food... and then a mouth so he can eat it.

He has a big smile because he's very happy to be a porcupine.

And there you have your prickly paper porcupines.
