>> HEY, SID, WHAT DO YOU SAY?

WHAT YOU WANT TO LEARN TODAY?

>> ♪ I WANT TO KNOW WHY THINGS HAPPEN AND HOW AND I WANT TO KNOW EVERYTHING NOW, OH, YEAH!

HOW DOES THIS THING WORK?

WHY DOES THAT STUFF CHANGE?

HOW DOES THAT DO WHAT IT JUST DID?

HMM... WHAT'’’S UP WITH THE SKY?

DO YOU THINK I COULD FLY?

THE WORLD IS SPINNING AND I WANT TO KNOW WHY I'’’VE GOT A LOT OF QUESTIONS AND BIG IDEAS I'’’M SID THE SCIENCE KID ♪ >> OH, HI.

I'’’M SID.

WELCOME TO MY ROOM.

MY MOM WANTS ME TO CLEAN IT UP BEFORE I GO TO SCHOOL THIS MORNING, BUT I JUST WISH THERE WAS A WAY TO CLEAN THAT WAS EASIER.

WOW!

DID YOU SEE THAT?

MY STUFFED ANIMAL JUST FLEW THROUGH THE AIR AND LANDED IN MY TOY BOX.

WOW.

I THINK I JUST INVENTED THE GREATEST INVENTION EVER-- THE SID-O-MATIC TOY PUT-AWAYER.

HA HA HA.

IT'’’S REALLY SIMPLE-- JUST THIS TOY SHOVEL RIGHT HERE ON THIS TRIANGLE BLOCK.

SEE?

AND THEN WHEN YOU STEP ON IT, THE TOY FLIES!

HMM... WELL, NOW I JUST GOT TO KNOW.

WHAT'’’S THE BIG IDEA WITH MY NEW INVENTION?

WHY HASN'’’T ANYONE INVENTED THE SID-O-MATIC TOY PUT-AWAYER!

[ECHOING] >> SID, BREAKFAST TIME.

>> OH, BOY.

HA HA.

I'’’M SO HUNGRY.

COMING, MOM!

WHOO-HOO!

HA HA!

BREAKFAST TIME!

HEY, GOOD MORNING, MOM, DAD, AND ZEKE.

>> HEY, SIDDO.

>> MORNING, SID.

>> [BABBLING] UH-OH.

UH-OH.

>> OH, HOLD ON, ZEKE.

I'’’LL GET THAT FOR YOU.

>> OH, DAD, WAIT.

I'’’LL HELP.

I'’’LL USE MY NEW GREAT INVENTION, THE SID-O-MATIC TOY PUT-AWAYER.

>> AH... >> YEAH.

WATCH THIS.

I JUST PUT THIS PIECE OF WOOD DOWN HERE AND THIS SHOVEL RIGHT ON TOP, AND TA-DA!

>> COOL!

CAN'’’T WAIT TO SEE IT IN ACTION.

>> YEAH.

IT'’’S GONNA BE GREAT.

I'’’M JUST GONNA GET MINI DR. BEAKS HERE, AND THEN I'’’M GOING TO STICK HIM ON THIS END.

>> OK. >> THEN THE SID-O-MATIC TOY PUT-AWAYER IS READY.

ALL RIGHT, ZEKE.

HOLD ON.

DR. BEAK IS COMING YOUR WAY.

3, 2, 1.

BLASTOFF!

OOP.

>> I GOT IT.

[CHEERING] THERE YOU GO, ZEKE.

YOU CAN THANK SID FOR THIS.

>> [BABBLING] >> WOW, SID.

THAT IS SOME INVENTION.

>> AW, THANKS, MOM.

YEAH, I USED IT TO PUT MY TOYS AWAY.

HMM...

I WONDER WHY NOBODY HAS INVENTED IT BEFORE.

>> ALL RIGHT.

LET'’’S SEE.

NICE WORK ON THIS, SID.

YOU FIGURED OUT HOW TO SEND A TOY FLYING BY USING THIS SHOVEL AND THIS BLOCK.

WHAT A GREAT DISCOVERY.

YOU KNOW, OTHER SCIENTISTS HAVE MADE THE SAME DISCOVERY AS YOU.

>> WHAT?

REALLY?

>> YEAH, BUT YOU KNOW, THAT'’’S A GOOD THING.

IT MEANS YOU'’’RE THINKING LIKE A REAL SCIENTIST.

>> THAT'’’S RIGHT, SWEETIE.

YOUR INVENTION IS A TYPE OF LEVER.

>> A LEVER?

WELL, BESIDES PUTTING TOYS AWAY, HOW DO YOU USE ONE?

>> WELL, WHEN I'’’M ON A CONSTRUCTION SITE, WE USE BIG LEVERS TO LIFT UP REALLY HEAVY THINGS.

>> LEVERS CAN LIFT HEAVY THINGS.

HMM...YOU KNOW, AFTER BREAKFAST, I NEED TO INVESTIGATE THIS LEVER THING AT SCHOOL.

>> GREAT IDEA...

THE QUESTION--HOW WOULD YOU LIFT SOMETHING REALLY HEAVY?

HEY, YOU CAN THINK ABOUT LIFTING HEAVY THINGS, TOO.

OK. LET'’’S GO GET SOME ANSWERS.

[CHUCKLES] OOH.

GABRIELA.

I HAVE A SURVEY QUESTION.

HOW WOULD YOU LIFT SOMETHING REALLY HEAVY?

>> OH, UM, HMM...

I WOULD ASK SOMEONE REALLY STRONG TO HELP ME, LIKE... AN ELEPHANT!

>> AH.

GOOD IDEA.

>> [IMITATING ELEPHANT] >> HA HA HA!

THANKS, GABRIELA.

>> SURE THING.

>> HI, MAY.

>> HI.

>> HOW WOULD YOU LIFT SOMETHING REALLY HEAVY?

>> WELL, UM...I WOULD GET TOGETHER ALL MY FRIENDS FOR A GROUP LIFT.

OH, AND A SING-ALONG!

♪ LIFT, LIFT, LIFT, HEY, HEY ♪ WHOO!

HOO HOO HOO!

THAT'’’S MY SONG.

>> WOW.

GREAT LIFTING SONG, MAY.

>> THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU.

HEY, GERALD.

>> YEAH?

>> HOW WOULD YOU LIFT SOMETHING REALLY HEAVY?

>> OH.

UM, WELL...I THINK I WOULD LIFT SOMETHING HEAVY WITH MY SUPER-GIGANTIC MUSCLES!

I AM STRONGER THAN THE STRONGEST GUY!

GRR!

GRR!

>> WELL, THAT'’’S A GREAT IDEA.

THANKS, GERALD.

>> YOU'’’RE WELCOME.

>> AND NOW THE RESULTS OF MY SURVEY.

GABRIELA WOULD ASK AN ELEPHANT TO HELP HER LIFT SOMETHING HEAVY.

MAY WOULD GET ALL HER FRIENDS TOGETHER TO LIFT THE HEAVY THING AND SING ABOUT IT.

AND GERALD WOULD USE HIS GIGANTIC MUSCLES.

MAYBE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT LIFTING SOMETHING REALLY HEAVY, TOO.

WELL, THERE YOU HAVE IT.

I AM SID, ROVING REPORTER AND HEAVY LIFTING EXPERT.

>> EVERYBODY, RUG TIME.

>> OOH, THAT'’’S TEACHER SUSIE.

>> ♪ IT'’’S RUG TIME, COME ON IN RUG TIME, TAKE A SEAT RUG TIME, WE'’’RE READY EVERYBODY MOVE YOUR FEET RUG TIME, TEACHER SUSIE GOOD TIMES ON THE WAY RUG TIME, COME ON IN WE'’’VE GOT A LOT TO LEARN TODAY ♪ >> I'’’M UNDERWATER.

>> OK, MR. OCTOPUS, TIME TO BRING YOUR 8 ARMS IN AND HAVE A SEAT.

>> OK. OOH...OCTOPUS LANDING.

>> [LAUGHTER] >> SO, WHO'’’S GOT SOMETHING TO SHARE TODAY?

>> OH!

OH!

WE WERE TALKING ABOUT HOW TO LIFT SOMETHING REALLY HEAVY.

>> YEAH.

THIS MORNING, IN MY ROOM, I INVENTED SOMETHING BRAND-NEW, BUT IT'’’S ALREADY BEEN INVENTED.

HMM.

IT LIFTS THINGS UP AND MAKES THEM FLY IN THE AIR.

>> WOW!

WHAT IS IT?

>> I CALL IT THE SID-O-MATIC TOY PUT-AWAYER.

I STEPPED ON A SHOVEL THAT WAS ON A SHORT BLOCK, AND IT MADE A TOY FLY ACROSS THE ROOM.

>> ACROSS THE ROOM?

WOW!

THAT'’’S AMAZING!

>> SID, IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU MADE A LEVER.

>> HEY.

YEAH, THAT'’’S WHAT MY MOM SAID.

>> OH, YOUR MOM IS RIGHT.

HERE.

TAKE A LOOK.

DOES THIS LOOK FAMILIAR?

>> YEAH.

THAT LOOKS LIKE MY SID-O-MATIC TOY PUT-AWAYER.

>> YOU'’’RE RIGHT, AND IT WORKS THE SAME WAY.

LEVERS ARE VERY HELPFUL, SIMPLE MACHINES THAT MAKE IT EASIER TO LIFT THINGS UP.

>> SO, WHAT MAKES SOMETHING A LEVER?

>> YEAH.

AND HOW DOES IT MAKE THINGS EASIER TO LIFT?

>> GOOD QUESTIONS.

OK, SCIENTISTS, WHERE CAN WE INVESTIGATE WITH A REAL LEVER?

>> IN THE SUPER-FAB LAB!

>> RIGHT.

GRAB YOUR JOURNALS, AND LET'’’S GO!

>> OK. >> HA HA HA.

>> HA HA HA.

>> OK. >> HA HA HA.

>> SUPER-FAB LAB!

INVESTIGATE, EXPLORE, DISCOVER!

>> AH!

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

>> YAY!

>> NOW, THIS PIECE IS CALLED THE BODY OF THE LEVER.

OK?

AND THIS BLOCK UNDERNEATH, THAT'’’S CALLED THE FULCRUM.

>> OK. >> GO AHEAD.

GIVE IT A TRY.

>> GREAT.

>> OK. >> FULCRUM.

>> OH, HEY.

WHEN YOU PUSH DOWN HERE, THE OTHER SIDE GOES UP.

>> VERY GOOD OBSERVATION.

YOU'’’VE ALREADY FIGURED OUT HOW A LEVER WORKS.

NOW IT'’’S YOUR JOB TO FIGURE OUT THE EASIEST WAY TO LIFT UP THIS HEAVY BOX OF WOODEN BLOCKS.

NOW, YOU DON'’’T HAVE TO USE THE LEVER IF YOU THINK THERE'’’S AN EASIER WAY.

>> YEAH.

I CAN PROBABLY JUST LIFT IT UP WITH MY BIG MUSCLES.

>> I'’’LL HELP YOU, GERALD.

>> THANKS.

>> WAIT.

MAYBE USING THE LEVER IS THE EASIEST WAY.

>> YOU CAN EXPERIMENT AND TRY LOTS OF DIFFERENT WAYS.

THEN YOU CAN DISCOVER THE EASIEST WAY TO LIFT THE BOX.

>> OK. LET'’’S TRY LIFTING IT FIRST.

>> YEAH.

MUSCLES READY!

ARR!

>> HEY, YOU'’’RE SCIENTISTS.

YOU CAN TRY THIS, TOO.

>> WE'’’RE GOING TO INVESTIGATE HOW TO LIFT A HEAVY BOX.

FIRST, TRY LIFTING IT ALL BY YOURSELF.

OOH, IT'’’S HEAVY.

I WONDER IF THERE'’’S ANOTHER WAY WE CAN LIFT IT UP.

WE COULD BUILD OUR OWN LEVER.

THE CRATE IS THE FULCRUM, AND THE BOARD IS THE BODY OF OUR LEVER.

NOW TRY PUSHING DOWN ON THE LEVER.

IT LOOKS LIKE IT'’’S STILL HARD TO LIFT UP THE BOX.

EVEN 2 OF YOU CAN'’’T PUSH DOWN ON THE LEVER.

LET'’’S SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE MOVE THE FULCRUM CLOSER TO THE BOX.

IT LOOKS LIKE IT'’’S STILL HARD TO LIFT THE BOX.

HEY, TWO OF YOU CAN LIFT THE BOX A LITTLE.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU MOVE THE FULCRUM EVEN CLOSER TO THE HEAVY BOX?

WOW.

NOW IT'’’S MUCH EASIER.

WHEN YOU MOVE THE FULCRUM TO THE RIGHT SPOT, A LEVER IS AN AMAZING, SIMPLE MACHINE THAT MAKES IT EASIER TO LIFT HEAVY THINGS.

NOW DRAW SOME OBSERVATIONS IN YOUR JOURNALS.

YOU CAN DRAW PICTURES OF THE DIFFERENT WAYS WE MOVED THE FULCRUM ON THE LEVER TO MAKE IT EASIER TO LIFT UP THE BOX.

MAYBE WE COULD USE THE LEVER TO LIFT UP YOU, TOO.

ALL RIGHT, SCIENTISTS.

YOU FOUND A WAY TO LIFT UP THE BASKET OF BOOKS.

GREAT.

MAY, WOULD YOU LIKE TO SHOW US WHAT OBSERVATIONS YOU MADE IN YOUR JOURNAL?

>> OK. FIRST WE TRIED TO LIFT THE HEAVY BASKET.

I THOUGHT THAT WOULD BE THE EASIEST WAY TO LIFT IT.

WHEN WE USED THE LEVER, IT WAS MUCH EASIER.

ACTUALLY, IT WAS MUCH, MUCH, MUCH EASIER.

>> WOW.

THAT'’’S A GREAT OBSERVATION, MAY.

NOW YOU KNOW AN EASY WAY TO LIFT SOMETHING HEAVY.

>> YEAH.

>> OK, SID, CAN WE SEE YOUR JOURNAL?

>> OH, SURE.

HERE'’’S A PICTURE OF THE BASKET ON THE LEVER, AND IT WAS PRETTY EASY TO LIFT IT.

BUT THEN WE FOUND OUT THAT WHEN WE MOVE THE FULCRUM CLOSER TO THE BASKET, IT MADE IT EVEN EASIER TO LIFT IT.

>> WOW.

I LOVE THAT YOU ALL TRIED EXPERIMENTING BY MOVING THE FULCRUM CLOSER AND CLOSER TO THE BASKET.

WAY TO GO, SCIENTISTS.

I HEREBY DECLARE THAT YOU ARE ALL LEVER EXPERTS.

>> YAY!

>> OK, LEVER EXPERTS, IT'’’S TIME TO GO PLAY WITH ALL YOUR NEW IDEAS.

>> SUPER-COOL!

>> OK. >> ALL RIGHT.

LET'’’S GO PLAY.

>> AFTER YOU, MAY.

IT'’’S TIME FOR... >> "GOOD LAUGHTERNOON!"

HA HA HA!

>> KNOCK KNOCK.

>> WHO'’’S THERE?

>> LEVER.

>> LEVER WHO?

>> LEVER MIND WHO IT IS.

IT'’’S COLD!

LET ME IN.

>> HA HA HA!

>> OK. WHAT-LEVER YOU SAY.

>> HA HA HA!

>> WHAT DID THE SNAIL SAY WHEN HE WAS BEING LIFTED UP BY A LEVER?

>> I DON'’’T KNOW.

WHAT DID THE SNAIL SAY WHEN HE WAS BEING LIFTED UP BY A LEVER?

>> WHEE-E-E-E!

>> HA HA HA!

>> SAY, GERALD.

>> YES?

>> WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU LIFT A DUCK ON A LEVER?

>> I DON'’’T KNOW.

WHAT?

>> HE QUACKS UP, LIKE QUACK QUACK.

>> HA HA HA!

>> OH, HEY.

HEY, SID.

LET'’’S DO THAT SAME JOKE AGAIN BUT TALK LIKE DUCKS.

>> OOH.

OK. >> QUACK QUACK QUACK.

>> QUACK.

>> QUACK QUACK QUACK QUACK QUACK QUACK QUACK QUACK QUACK.

>> QUACK QUACK QUACK.

QUACK.

>> QUACK QUACK QUACK QUACK QUACK QUACK.

>> GOOD ONE, SID.

I MEAN, QUACK QUACK QUACK.

>> HA HA HA!

NOW, THAT'’’S QUACKY.

I MEAN FUNNY.

>> [LAUGHTER] >> LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, I'’’M SELLING THE GREATEST INVENTION EVER.

I CALL IT THE SID EVERYTHING PUTTER-AWAYER.

>> OOH!

IT'’’S AMAZING AND UNBELIEVABLE.

>> I DON'’’T KNOW WHAT IT DOES, BUT I LIKE IT.

>> WELL, I'’’LL TELL YOU WHAT IT DOES, MY FRIEND.

YOU JUST PLACE AN ITEM HERE AND THEN STOMP DOWN HERE.

AND IT PUTS EVERYTHING AWAY-- POTS, PANS, PENS, YOU NAME IT.

IT PUTS IT AWAY.

>> NO WAY!

>> YES WAY.

IT ALSO PUTS AWAY SOCKS, SPATULAS, COWBOY HATS, SOCCER BALLS, LAMPS, LLAMAS, AND MUCH, MUCH MORE.

>> I ACTUALLY NEED TO PUT ALL THAT STUFF AWAY.

>> ME, TOO.

I'’’LL BUY 3.

>> PARDON ME, BUT ISN'’’T YOUR INVENTION JUST A LEVER?

>> WHAT?

NO.

IT'’’S THE SID EVERYTHING PUTTER-AWAYER.

>> BUT IT'’’S JUST A LEVER.

SEE, HERE'’’S THE BODY, AND THIS PART IS THE FULCRUM.

SEE, IT'’’S JUST A LEVER.

>> HA HA... >> SO, IT IS JUST A LEVER?

>> HEY, HAVE I TOLD YOU ABOUT MY OTHER NEW INVENTION?

IT'’’S MY HAT.

IT'’’S AMAZING.

YOU WEAR IT ON YOUR HEAD, AND...BYE!

>> HEY!

YOU COME BACK HERE!

>> AND NOW... >> IT'’’S TIME... >> FOR SUSIE... >> TO SING.

>> GO, SUSIE!

HA HA HA!

>> THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

SO, WE KNOW THAT LEVERS ARE REALLY GOOD FOR LIFTING UP HEAVY THINGS, BUT WHAT ELSE CAN LEVERS DO?

>> HMM... >> THINK ABOUT SID'’’S INVENTION.

>> OH, THE SID-O-MATIC TOY PUT-AWAYER MADE MY TOYS FLY IN THE AIR.

>> RIGHT.

NOW, WHAT IF A LEVER COULD ALSO MAKE PEOPLE FLY THROUGH THE AIR?

>> THAT WOULD BE SO COOL!

>> OH, YEAH, IT'’’S TIME TO TAKE A TRIP TO THE CIRCUS!

>> YEAH!

WOW!

>> OH.

WELL, TODAY WE LEARNED ABOUT LEVERS.

I THOUGHT I INVENTED THEM, BUT TURNS OUT THEY'’’VE BEEN AROUND FOR A REALLY LONG TIME.

>> OH, YES, THEY HAVE.

AND WHEN I WAS GROWING UP, ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS TO DO WAS TO GO ON A REALLY BIG LEVER.

I'’’M TALKING ABOUT A SEESAW.

OH, IT'’’S A REALLY BIG FUN LEVER.

I LOVED GOING ON THE SEESAW AT THE PARK.

OH, YEAH.

I WOULD SPEND SO MUCH TIME GOING UP AND DOWN, UP AND DOWN, UP AND DOWN, OVER AND OVER ON THE SEESAW WITH MY FRIEND THELMA.

ONCE, WE TRIED TO STAY ON THE SEESAW FOR ONE WHOLE DAY.

A WHOLE DAY!

WE HAD BREAKFAST WHILE WE WERE SEESAWING, HAD A SNACK, AND SANG A SONG WHILE WE WENT UP AND DOWN ALL MORNING, BUT BY THE AFTERNOON, OUR BOTTOMS REALLY STARTED TO HURT.

SO WE HOPPED OFF.

HA HA HA!

OH, I MISS THAT SEESAW.

OH, I MEAN LEVER.

>> WOW.

I LIKE HEARING ABOUT WHEN YOU WERE A LITTLE GIRL, GRANDMA.

>> OH, THANKS, SWEETIE.

YOU'’’RE A GOOD LISTENER.

>> THANKS.

>> HEY, LOOK AT THAT.

WE'’’RE ALREADY HOME.

ALL RIGHTIE.

THE TIRE JACK IS IN PLACE.

ALL WE HAVE TO DO NOW IS PUSH DOWN ON THIS PART, AND IT LIFTS UP THE CAR SO WE CAN CHANGE THAT FLAT TIRE.

>> COOL.

HMM... HEY, DAD.

>> YEAH?

>> THAT'’’S A LEVER.

>> YOU'’’RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT, SID.

THE TIRE JACK IS A LEVER.

>> SID, YOU KNOW YOUR LEVERS.

>> THANKS.

YEAH.

WE LEARNED ALL ABOUT LEVERS TODAY AT SCHOOL.

A LEVER IS A SIMPLE MACHINE THAT HELPS US LIFT THINGS SO MUCH EASIER.

EVEN MY TOY PUT-AWAYER IS A LEVER.

>> WOW.

I AM IMPRESSED.

OK, NOW IT'’’S TIME TO USE THIS JACK--I MEAN, LEVER-- TO LIFT UP THE CAR.

>> OOH, GO FOR IT, MORT!

>> OK. >> OOH, LOOK AT THAT.

>> IT'’’S WORKING!

GO, DAD!

GO!

MY DAD CAN FIX ANYTHING.

>> HEY, THEY DON'’’T CALL ME MR. FIX-ANYTHING-WITH-A-LEVER FOR NOTHING.

WHAT AN AMAZING DAY!

WE TRIED TO PICK UP A HEAVY BASKET, BUT WE COULDN'’’T.

SO WE USED A SIMPLE MACHINE CALLED A LEVER.

CHK-CHK-CHK-CHK, PYU!

HA HA HA.

IT MADE IT SO MUCH EASIER TO LIFT THE BASKET.

AND THEN DAD USED ANOTHER LEVER CALLED A TIRE JACK.

CHK-CHK-CHK-CHK-CHK... AND THAT LIFTED GRANDMA'’’S CAR.

HEY, I WONDER IF MY ARM IS A LEVER.

HMM.

WATCH.

WOW.

YOU KNOW, LEVERS ARE EVERYWHERE LIFTING TONS OF THINGS.

YOU KNOW, I BET YOU COULD LIFT ANYTHING WITH THE RIGHT LEVER.

EVEN YOU, DR. BEAKS.

HA HA HA.

OK.

I'’’VE GOT IT.

HERE'’’S MY SUPER-DUPER-OOPER- SCHMOOPER BIG IDEA!

I WILL INVENT THE HUMUNGO-LEVER.

IT'’’S A REALLY BIG LEVER, SO BIG, IT CAN LIFT DAD'’’S CAR IF HE NEEDS TO LOOK UNDERNEATH IT, OR EVEN A BUS.

OR SAY YOU'’’RE HAVING A BUNCH OF FRIENDS OVER FOR A PLAYDATE AND YOU WANT MORE ROOM IN YOUR BACKYARD TO PLAY.

WELL, THE HUMUNGO LEVER CAN LIFT YOUR WHOLE HOUSE UP, AND THEN YOU CAN MOVE IT SO YOU'’’LL HAVE A BIGGER YARD.

[GROANING] TA-DA!

NOW WE CAN HAVE THE BIGGEST PLAYDATE EVER, BECAUSE WE HAVE LOTS OF ROOM IN OUR BACKYARD.

IN FACT, WE EVEN HAVE ENOUGH ROOM TO INVITE OVER A FAMILY OF ELEPHANTS.

HEY, ELEPHANTS, COME ON OVER FOR A PLAYDATE IN MY BACKYARD.

[ELEPHANTS TRUMPETING] THANK YOU, HUMUNGO-LEVER.

AND THAT'’’S MY SUPER-DUPER-OOPER- SCHMOOPER BIG IDEA!

[APPLAUSE] OH.

HEY, ALBERT.

WHY AREN'’’T YOU IN THE TOY BOX?

HMM.

OK. ALL I HAVE TO DO IS USE MY SID-O-MATIC TOY PUT-AWAYER, AND...

I PUT IT AWAY.

OOPS.

HMM.

HEY, LET'’’S SEE IF MY ARM REALLY IS A LEVER.

HMM.

I'’’LL TRY AN EXPERIMENT, BECAUSE I AM SID THE SCIENCE KID!

[ECHOING] REMEMBER, KEEP ASKING LOTS AND LOTS OF QUESTIONS.

SEE YOU LATER, SCIENTISTS.

OK, ARM LEVER, HERE WE GO.
