>>: HELLO.

I'M DR. LEO COOL AND I WAS ABOUT TO HAVE A LITTLE SOMETHING SOMETHING.

YOU PROBABLY KNOW WHAT THAT IS?

YUMMY YUMMY MAC & CHEESE.

I LOVE MAC & CHEESE AND I BET YOU DO, TOO.

BY NOW TODAY'S TOPIC IS GOING TO BE MAC & CHEESE.

LET'S GET CRACKING AND LEARN ALL ABOUT MAC & CHEESE.

>>: MAN, THAT MAC & CHEESE DID NOT STAND A CHANCE.

DID YOU KNOW THAT MAC & CHEESE IS OLDER THAN DIRT?

OF COURSE, NOBODY ENJOYS DIRT IN THERE AND SHE'S .

PLUS YOU MAY HAVE TO CHANGE HIS NAME TO LOVE AND SHE'S.

YET.

THE FIRST RECIPE WAS IN A COOKBOOK AND OLD ENGLAND FROM THE 14TH CENTURY.

WHY WAS ENGLAND SO MARY?

BECAUSE THEY HAD MAC & CHEESE.

BACK THEN THEY DID NOT HAVE INSTANT MAC & CHEESE.

THEY USED TO HAVE THE RECIPES CALL FOR MILK AND FLOUR TO COOK TOGETHER TO MAKE A SAUCE .

THEN YOU ADD CHEESE TO IT, TRANSFORMING IT INTO A MARINADE SAUCE BUT YOU CAN CALL IT CHEESE SAUCE.

NOW YOU CAN USE ALL KINDS OF DIFFERENT CHEESES IN YOUR MAC & CHEESE.

THE MOST POPULAR IS CHEDDAR, BUT YOU CAN MAKE IT WITH GOUDA, AND PARMESAN.

LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED!

NOW THERE ARE A COUPLE IN THE US THAT PRODUCE A MILLION BOXES OF MAC & CHEESE A DAY.

I WON'T TELL YOU WHAT THEIR NAME IS THAT IT KIND OF LIKE I HAVE TO HAVE MAC & CHEESE.

THE MOST POPULAR SHAPE IS ELBOW MACARONI.

WHO KNOWS?

ARE YOU AWARE THAT JULY 14 IS NATIONAL MAC & CHEESE DAY?

WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT?

WELL THAT'S ABOUT ALL THE TIME WE HAVE TODAY.

I AM DR. LEO COOL AND I WILL SEE YOU NEXT TIME ON DR.

COOL FUN SCHOOL.

>>: WERE GOING TO CHECK IN WITH CHEF CORBIN AND WERE GOING TO SEE WHAT HE IS COOKING UP IN THE KITCHEN.

HI, CHEF CORBIN.

YOU HAVE A FRIEND WITH YOU.

THIS IS ADDIE .

>>: YES.

SHE WILL HELP ME OUT.

AND WE ARE GOING TO MAKE SOME FRESH RASPBERRY SORBET.

>>: I'M SO EXCITED.

>>: ALL RIGHT.

LET'S GET STARTED.

FIRST OF ALL, WE HAVE RASPBERRY PURC THAT WE MADE.

WE TOOK FRESH RASPBERRIES AND WE MUSHED THEM UP WITH A BLENDER AND THEN STRAINED OUT THE SEEDS.

NOW WE WILL ADD OTHER INGREDIENTS.

FIRST WE WILL ADD WATER .

START STIRRING.

AND THEN WE ARE GOING TO ADD SUGAR.

>>: THAT'S A LOT OF SUGAR .

>>: IT'S KIND OF A LOT.

THESE ARE CHARGE BERRIES.

WE WILL ADD FRESH LIME JUICE .

AND A LITTLE BIT OF VANILLA EXTRACT .

STIR IT IN WELL.

AND THEN WE ARE GOING TO POUR IT IN AN ICE CREAM TRAY .

>>: IT'S LIKE A COLD BUCKET?

>>: IT'S A LITTLE BUCKET AND IT GOES INSIDE OF A MACHINE THAT HAS A STIR PADDLE THAT GOES IN AND THAT STIRS IT FOR US AND CHILLS IT AT THE SAME TIME.

IN HALF-HOUR, 45 MINUTES WILL HAVE DELICIOUS VERSION SORBET .

I'M GOING TO TAKE THE BUCKET WILL PUT IN THE FREEZER AND WILL WAIT UNTIL IS READY TO EAT .

>>: NICE WORK.

NOW WE CAN COME BACK IN A HALF-HOUR AND SEE HOW THAT TURNED OUT FOR US.

ALL RIGHT ABOUT 30 OR 40 MINUTES WE WILL CHECK IN WITH OUR SORBET.

HOW'S IT LOOKING?

>>: IT LOOKS AMAZING.

>>: LOOK AT THAT.

WE'VE GOT TO SEE IT.

WE'VE GOT TO GET A SCOOP OUT.

>>: WILL GET A SMALL BOWL.

>>: WOW.

YUM.

IT MIGHT BE WHEN YOU HAVE A BIG MIXING BOWL AND YOU LICK THE COOKIE DUAL -- GO OFF OF THE MIXERS.

>>: NOW IT'S THE MOMENT OF TRUTH .

>>: STILL A LITTLE SOFT BUT IT WILL BE DELICIOUS.

>>: YUM.

HOW IS IT?

IT LOOKS BEAUTIFUL.

YES!

THAT LOOKS SO YUMMY.

THANK YOU FOR SHOWING US HOW TO MAKE SORBET ILLEGAL SEE YOU LATER.

>>: BYE-BYE .

>>: WINTER IS COMING , ARE YOU PREPARED?

WHERE DO YOU GO FOR WINTER?

WHAT YOU EAT?

WHERE IS YOUR HOME?

HOW MANY OF YOU ARE THERE?

HOW CAN WE KEEP TRACK OF YOU AND MAKE SURE YOU ARE OKAY?

I'M GOING TO FIND OUT .

FOUND MY GUIDE.

THIS IS FRANK AND HE IS A WILDLIFE TECHNICIAN WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION.

WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO TODAY?

>>: WE ARE GOING TO BAN SOME DUCKS.

>>: WHAT WE BAND THESE DOCS?

>>: WE DETERMINED A WHILE BACK THAT AMERICAN BLACK DUCK EMBERS WERE IN DECLINE.

WE WANT TO BAND AS MANY AS WE CAN AND WE CAN WRAP OUR MINDS AROUND WHAT WE CAN DO TO HELP THE POPULATION BOUNCE BACK.

ASK LET'S GET TO IT.

>>: YES.

LET'S SEE OUR TRAPS.

>>: WHICH ARE SEEING IS A CONFUSION TRAP.

IT'S EASY FOR THE DUCKS TO GET IN, BUT HARD TO GET OUT.

THIS IS WHERE WE STEPPED IN AND MOVE THE DUCKS TO THE CAPTURE CRATE, WE WILL CARRY THEM AWAY FROM SHORE AND GET TO BANDING.

FRANK, LET'S BAND DUCKS.

>>: THAT SOUNDS GOOD.

ASK HOW DID YOU GET INTO THIS LINE OF WORK?

>>: I WENT TO SCHOOL FOR THIS KIND OF WORK.

NEWARK IS BLESSED WITH AN AMAZING UNIVERSITY SYSTEM .

I PICKED A DEGREE PROGRAM THAT WILL LEND ITSELF TO WILDLIFE.

I GOT A DEGREE AND I THINK IT'S A FANTASTIC PROFESSION.

PEOPLE TELL JOSHIY AND DIANE FOLKS AT WORK IN THE WILDLIFE PROFESSION.

THEY SAY YOU HAVE THE GREATEST JOB.

YOU HAVE A NEED TO JOB AND I AGREE COMPLETELY.

WE HAVE GREAT JOBS.

AND WE FEEL FORTUNATE TO BE DOING THIS KIND OF WORK.

WE DO OTHER KINDS OF WORK OTHER TIMES OF THE YEAR.

>>: YOU SAY YOU ONLY DUCK BAND A SHORT TIME OF THE YEAR.

>>: JUST A FEW SHORT MONTHS IN THE WINTER.

BUT OTHER TIMES WE WORK -- AS SOON AS WE WRAP THIS UP WE WORK ON FISH.

LATER IN THE FALL WE MIGHT WORK WITH OTHER SPECIES DOING RESEARCH FOR THOSE.

A WHOLE HOST OF DIFFERENT THINGS.

THIS WILDLIFE PROFESSION LENDS OPPORTUNITY FOR THAT IT MAKES OUR JOB ENJOYABLE WE ARE GOING TO BAND THE BURDEN GET THIS INFORMATION TO JOSH AND WE WILL LET HIM GO.

>>: SO I HEAR THIS IS THE BIG SHOW.

>>: THIS IS WHAT WE CAME HERE FOR TODAY.

THIS IS AN AMERICAN BLACK DUCK AND IT'S A MALE BECAUSE IT HAS THE BRIGHT YELLOW BILL.

>>: THE GOAL IS TO FIGURE OUT LAST SUMMER OR NOT.

WE LOOK AT A GROUP OF FEATHERS THAT CHANGE SHAPE.

IF THESE FEATHERS DO NOT HAVE THAT SHAPE TO THEM, WE KNOW THAT THIS IS IT'S THE YOUNG BIRD NOW THAT WE CAN RECORDED SAGE, IT'S TIME TO GIVE THE BIRD A NUMBER .

>>: WE PUT A BAND ON IT.

YOU HAVE A BAND .

>>: THE BAND HAVE DIFFERENT NUMBERS.

IT'LL TELL THEM WHERE THEY HOW LONG THEY LIVE FOR.

IT HELPS RESEARCHERS FIGURE OUT HOW TO BEST PROTECT THE ANIMALS.

THINK ABOUT IT LIKE THIS, IF WE ARE BANDING THE BIRD IN NEW YORK ANOTHER WILDLIFE TECHNICIAN IN CANADA CATCHES HIM AND REPORTS HIS ID NUMBER, THEN WE KNOW HOW FAR HE MIGRATED THAT SEASON.

>>: SO HAVE YOU EVER BEEN POOPED ON KEY.

>>: I GET POOPED ON ALL THE TIME.

>>: REALLY?

>>: YESTERDAY I WASHED THIS JACKET FOR THE FIRST TIME ALL WINTER AND THAT'S WHY.

>>: (LAUGHING).

>>: HE DID NOT WANT TO SEE IT BEFORE YESTERDAY.

HE'S READY TO GO.

DO YOU WANT TO LET THEM GO?

>>: IS THAT ALL RIGHT?

>>: THAT'S FINE .

TELL ME WHERE YOU'VE GOT THEM .

>>: I GOT THEM.

BY MY FRIEND!

ASK VERY GOOD.

THAT'S ONE BIRD.

WE HAVE A FEW MORE TO DO.

>>: BY, SWEETIE.

>>: ETHAN, WHY DO GIRAFFES HAVE LONG NEXT?

>>: I DON'T KNOW.

WHY DO GIRAFFES HAVE LONGNECK SKI.

>>: BECAUSE THEIR HEADS ARE SO FAR AWAY FROM THEIR BODIES.

>>: YEAH.

>>: AND THE FRIDAY ZONE .

>>: A BRAND-NEW DAY (SINGING) THEN THERE WAS A TIME THAT HE GAVE UP HIS ADMIN PASSWORD TO TRY TO WIN A TRIP TO THE MOON.
