LET'’’S GO GET SOME ANSWERS.

[SID HUMS] >> I DON'’’T KNOW, WHY?

HI, GERALD.

NO, IT'’’S NOT TIME FOR JOKES YET.

I'’’M DOING MY SURVEY.

SORRY.

I WAS JUST PRACTICING FOR GOOD LAUGHTERNOON.

>> SO, WHAT'’’S YOUR QUESTION, SID?

>> OK, MY QUESTION IS, WHAT DO THE BONES IN YOUR BODY DO?

>> OH!

OH, YEAH, I KNOW.

WELL, YOU TALK ON THEM, AND YOU SAY, "HELLO, HOW ARE YOU TODAY?"

AHEM.

>> WHAT?

OH--NO, NO, NO, NOT PHONES!

BONES!

WHAT DO BONES DO?

>> OH, YEAH, BONES!

WELL, THE BONES IN MY BODY LET ME DO THIS.

WATCH OUT.

>> WOW!

OK, THANKS, GERALD.

OK. >> HELLO UP THERE, MAY.

>> HI, DOWN THERE, SID!

>> HEY, I HAVE A QUESTION.

WHAT DO THE BONES IN YOUR BODY DO?

>> WELL, I THINK THE BONES HELP ME STAND UP TALL!

AND IF YOU DIDN'’’T HAVE BONES, YOU'’’D MELT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE GROUND!

>> WOW.

WELL, THAT WOULD NOT BE GOOD.

>> NO.

OOH, I GOT IT.

AHA!

GERALD SAYS THE BONES IN HIS ARM LET HIM OPEN AND CLOSE THINGS.

MAY SAYS THAT HER BONES HELP HER STAND UP TALL.

>> WELL, I WOULD.

>> GO AHEAD, SID.

>> OK. WELL, THIS MORNING, MY GRANDMA'’’S DOG, FILBERT, WAS SCRATCHING HIS EAR WITH HIS FOOT.

AND THEN I TRIED IT, BUT IT'’’S REALLY HARD.

>> WOW.

I WONDER IF I COULD DO THAT.

>> WELL, I HAVE AN IDEA.

HOW ABOUT IF WE ALL TRY IT?

COME ON, LET'’’S STAND UP-- >> ALL RIGHT.

>> AND TRY SCRATCHING OUR EAR WITH OUR FOOT.

>> OK, BUT IT'’’S REALLY TOUGH.

>> I-- >> SEE THAT?

>> I CAN'’’T REACH.

OH, OH.

>> NOT SO EASY.

>> OH, BOY.

OH, BOY.

>> WELL, DON'’’T FEEL BAD, EVERYBODY.

BECAUSE I SAW ON OUR COMPUTER THAT A DOG'’’S BONES ARE DIFFERENT THAN OURS.

SO IT'’’S EASIER FOR THEM TO SCRATCH THEIR EARS WITH THEIR FEET.

>> THAT'’’S A GREAT OBSERVATION, SID.

NOW, LET'’’S TAKE A LOOK AT HOW OUR BONES ARE PUT TOGETHER.

>> OH, YEAH.

HMM.

>> I SEE THAT ON HALLOWEEN.

>> OH, YOU'’’RE RIGHT, GABRIELLA.

YOU DO SEE THIS ON HALLOWEEN.

IT'’’S CALLED A SKELETON.

AND THIS IS HOW ALL OUR BONES ARE ATTACHED TO EACH OTHER.

>> OH, HEY, LOOK.

IF THAT GIANT LEG BONE RIGHT THERE COULD BEND IN HALF, THEN I BET WE COULD REACH OUR EARS WITH OUR FEET.

>> OH, MAN, THAT'’’S A GREAT IDEA!

LET'’’S DO IT!

>> OH, WELL, THAT IS A GREAT IDEA, BUT THERE'’’S JUST ONE PROBLEM.

OUR BONES CAN'’’T BEND IN HALF.

BUT WE CAN MOVE OUR BONES WHERE THEY'’’RE CONNECTED TO EACH OTHER.

THAT'’’S CALLED A JOINT.

>> OH.

>> HERE'’’S A JOINT, AT THE KNEE.

>> OH.

>> AND HERE'’’S ANOTHER ONE AT THE ELBOW.

>> UH-HUH.

>> YEAH.

NOW, STAND UP AGAIN AND TRY MOVING YOUR BONES WITH YOUR JOINTS.

>> OK. >> HMM.

I'’’M MOVING MY FOOT WITH MY KNEE JOINT.

>> OOH, I GOT ONE IN MY FINGER.

WIGGLE!

WIGGLE, WIGGLE, WIGGLE.

>> WIGGLE, WIGGLE, WIGGLE!

>> YES, OUR JOINTS LET US DO LOTS OF AMAZING THINGS.

HEY, WHERE CAN WE INVESTIGATE HOW IMPORTANT OUR JOINTS AND BONES REALLY ARE?

>> IN THE SUPER FAB LAB!

>> THAT'’’S RIGHT.

GRAB YOUR JOURNALS AND LET'’’S GO.

>> OH, YEAH!

>> COME ON, SID!

[MAY CHUCKLES] >> SUPER FAB LAB!

OBSERVE, COMPARE, CONTRAST!

WOW.

>> OK, SCIENTISTS, GET READY FOR AN EXCITING BONES INVESTIGATION!

>> YAY!

>> NOW, TO FIND OUT HOW IMPORTANT OUR JOINTS ARE, WE'’’RE GOING TO EXPERIENCE WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE IF WE DIDN'’’T HAVE JOINTS CONNECTING OUR BONES.

>> BUT WE CAN'’’T JUST TAKE OUR BONES AND OUR JOINTS OUT OF OUR BODIES.

>> NO, WE CAN'’’T DO THAT, BUT WE CAN ATTACH THESE WOODEN SPLINTS TO PARTS OF OUR BODIES.

THEN WE WON'’’T BE ABLE TO BEND ANY OF OUR JOINTS.

>> OOH!

I WANT TO TRY COLORING WITHOUT BENDING ANY FINGERS.

>> WELL, LET'’’S START THE BONES INVESTIGATION SO WE CAN ALL MAKE SOME OBSERVATIONS.

>> YAY, GROOVY!

>> OK. >> HEY, YOU'’’RE A SCIENTIST.

YOU CAN TRY THIS, TOO.

>> IT'’’S TIME FOR OUR BONES INVESTIGATION.

OUR JOINTS CONNECT OUR BONES, AND THEY ALLOW THEM TO MOVE IN LOTS OF DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS AND DO LOTS OF DIFFERENT THINGS.

LET'’’S OBSERVE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU CAN'’’T MOVE YOUR JOINTS.

A GROWNUP WILL TAPE WOODEN STICKS AROUND YOUR FINGERS SO THEY CAN'’’T BEND.

YOU CAN STILL DRAW, BUT IT'’’S NOT EASY.

LOOK AT THAT!

WHEN YOU CAN'’’T BEND THE JOINTS IN YOUR FINGERS, IT'’’S REALLY HARD TO TURN THE PAGES OF A BOOK.

TO PUT ON A HAT, YOU NEED TO BEND YOUR ARM BONES AT THE JOINT CALLED AN ELBOW.

LET'’’S DISCOVER WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU CAN'’’T BEND YOUR ELBOW.

WOW, IT'’’S REALLY HARD TO PUT ON THAT HAT.

AND TAKING IT OFF IS EVEN HARDER.

YOU DEFINITELY NEED YOUR ELBOW JOINT SO YOU CAN BEND YOUR ARM.

YOUR LEG BONES ARE CONNECTED BY A JOINT CALLED THE KNEE.

UR KNEES ALLOW YOUR LEGS TO BEND SO YOU CAN MARCH AROUND AND SQUAT DOWN.

LET'’’S FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU CAN'’’T BEND YOUR KNEE JOINTS.

OOH, IT'’’S HARD TO MARCH.

AND IT'’’S REALLY HARD TO SQUAT DOWN.

OK, NOW LET'’’S DRAW SOME OBSERVATIONS IN YOUR JOURNALS.

THINK ABOUT HOW HARD IT WAS TO MOVE YOUR BODY WHEN YOU COULDN'’’T BEND YOUR JOINTS.

ALL RIGHT, SCIENTISTS, LET'’’S SEE WHAT KIND OF OBSERVATIONS YOU MADE WHEN YOU COULDN'’’T USE YOUR JOINTS.

GABRIELLA, WOULD YOU LIKE TO GO FIRST?

>> SURE.

I HAD A SPLINT TIED ON TO MY ARM, SO I COULDN'’’T BEND MY ELBOW AT ALL.

>> OH.

>> THEN I TRIED PUTTING ON A HAT, AND I COULDN'’’T.

>> WOW.

IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'’’S A REALLY GOOD THING WE HAVE JOINTS, SO WE CAN BEND OUR ARMS.

>> YEAH.

>> OK, SID, MAY WE LOOK AT YOUR JOURNAL?

>> OH, YEAH, OK.

WHEN I PUT THE SPLINT ON MY LEGS, I TRIED DANCING.

BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?

IT WAS REALLY HARD, AND I FELL OVER.

>> OH.

WELL, I'’’M GLAD YOU'’’RE OK. >> YEP, I'’’M FINE.

>> WELL, IT SOUNDS LIKE ALL MY SCIENTISTS LEARNED A LOT ABOUT HOW IMPORTANT OUR JOINTS ARE.

I THINK IT'’’S TIME TO GO AND PLAY WITH ALL YOUR NEW IDEAS.

>> YEAH!

>> PLAYTIME.

>> IT'’’S TIME FOR-- >> GOOD LAUGHTERNOON.

>> I LIKE MEATLOAF!

>> UM--YOU GOT ANY MORE TO THAT JOKE THERE, GERALD?

>> NOPE.

THAT'’’S ALL I WANTED TO SAY.

>> OK. >> HEY, MAY.

>> HI, GABRIELLA.

>> HOW DO YOU MAKE A SKELETON LAUGH?

>> HMM.

YOU TELL HIM A JOKE.

>> NO, YOU TICKLE HIS FUNNY BONE.

>> HEY, SID.

>> YES, GERALD?

>> OH.

NO, I SAID SID.

>> OOPS.

SORRY.

>> OK. UM--HEY, SID!

>> YES, GERALD?

>> OH.

>> OH, OK. SEE YOU LATER.

HE INVENTED SOMETHING CALLED AN X-RAY MACHINE.

OOH, IT'’’S A GOOD THING HE DIDN'’’T CALL IT A WILHELM ROENTGEN MACHINE.

THAT'’’D BE HARD TO SAY.

ANYHOW, AN X-RAY MACHINE IS LIKE A SUPERDUPER CAMERA THAT CAN SEE THROUGH YOUR SKIN TO LOOK AT YOUR BONES AND JOINTS.

RIGHT, ARNIE?

EH, ARNIE'’’S NOT SO SURE.

RIGHT, FILBERT?

HA HA, FILBERT AGREES.

I LOVE DOGS!

SO, I KNOW WE CAN'’’T DO THE SAME THINGS AS DOGS OR SNAKES OR FLYING SQUIRRELS, BECAUSE OUR SKELETONS ARE DIFFERENT.

BUT I WAS THINKING, WOULDN'’’T IT BE GREAT IF THERE WAS A WAY WE COULD DO SOME OF THE COOL THINGS OTHER ANIMALS CAN DO?

GOOD, YOU THINK SO, TOO.

OK, WE'’’VE GOT IT.

HERE'’’S OUR SUPERDUPER OOPER SCHMOOPER BIG IDEA!

FILBERT AND I ARE GOING TO INVENT THIS SUPER BONE-BOT.

IT'’’S A GIANT ROBOT WITH LOTS OF PRETEND ANIMAL BONES INSIDE IT.

SO LET'’’S SAY YOU'’’RE HAVING A PICNIC AND YOU SEE A BANANA WAY UP HIGH IN A TREE.

DON'’’T GET UP.

LET THE SUPER BONE-BOT GET IT FOR YOU.

WITH THE BELLY BONES OF A SNAKE, IT CAN WRAP AROUND THE TREE AND SLITHER UP TO THE TOP.

THEN WITH TAIL BONES LIKE A MONKEY, IT CAN SWING OVER TO THE BRANCH AND GRAB THE BANANA.

THEN IT CAN SPREAD OUT ITS ARMS WHICH HAVE REALLY LIGHT BONES LIKE A FLYING SQUIRREL, SO IT CAN FLY THROUGH THE AIR AND LAND NEXT TO YOU WITH THE BANANA.

>> HELLO, SID, HERE'’’S YOUR BANANA.

>> AND THE BEST PART OF HAVING YOUR OWN SUPER BONE-BOT IS, IF YOU HAVE AN ITCH ON YOUR EAR AND YOU DON'’’T FEEL LIKE SCRATCHING IT, NO PROBLEM.

IT HAS LEG BONES LIKE A DOG SO IT CAN SCRATCH YOUR EAR WITH ITS FOOT.

YAY, SUPER BONE-BOT!

AND THAT'’’S OUR SUPERDUPER OOPER SCHMOOPER BIG IDEA!

[AUTOMATED APPLAUSE] OK, FILBERT, LET'’’S PLAY FOLLOW-THE-LEADER AGAIN.
