Speaker B
Okay, we've got a map, a compass.
Speaker B
What about a flashlight?
Speaker C
Here.
Speaker D
So, we going on a hike or what?
Speaker B
Let's make sure we have all the supplies first.
Speaker B
We're going to pack just like people for the day.
Speaker E
Not for the day.
Speaker E
Feels more like a month.
Speaker D
It's a lot, but we've got a long way to go.
Speaker D
This is going to be a great time.
Speaker D
A hike is all about walking, no fix boards, and we should probably not bring so much.
Speaker E
I think you've passed way too much stuff.
Speaker B
Oh yeah?
Speaker B
Well, maybe you two should go on a hike by yourselves and pack light.
Speaker D
Fine, we will.
Speaker D
Nolik, let's go.
Speaker C
Oh boy, let's see how this goes.
Speaker C
Without their stuff.
Speaker F
When going on a hike, details matter.
Speaker F
You got to plan the route, where to sleep, your clothes, and your food.
Speaker F
It seems simple, right? Throw everything you need in a backpack and that's it.
Speaker F
But remember, you're going to have to carry all that stuff.
Speaker F
So your best bet is to pack both lightly and efficiently.
Speaker F
Wear bright colors so that you're easy to spot by both animals and other humans that might be around.
Speaker F
Oh, and keep those devices charged or bring a portable charger.
Speaker F
Outlets don't grow on trees.
Speaker B
Well, seems like we should go that away.
Speaker D
See, that way.
Speaker B
I thought you guys were going by yourselves, and now you're following us, huh?
Speaker D
We're not following anyone, the lab's for sharing, got that?
Speaker B
Sure.
Speaker B
Yeah.
Speaker B
We're here, time to set up camp.
Speaker D
Huh.
Speaker B
Tent time.
Speaker B
And hop.
Speaker E
Did we bring a tent?
Speaker D
Nope.
Speaker D
But we can make one ourselves.
Speaker E
But their tent looks a lot more comfortable.
Speaker D
Relax, it's going to be fine.
Speaker D
We can handle anything for one night.
Speaker F
If you are going hiking, you should be prepared for anything.
Speaker F
Making sure you have the right supplies and the right attitude can make all the difference.
Speaker F
A nice watertight plastic bag can protect your belongings if it rains.
Speaker F
So even if your backpack gets soaked, your snacks will stay nice and crispy.
Speaker F
Uh oh, your boots got wet and you didn't bring more?
Speaker F
Don't worry, put on dry socks, then a plastic bag and the shoes on after that.
Speaker F
You need a wash stand, try using a water bottle.
Speaker F
Tie it upside down to a tree branch and unscrew the lid ever so slightly.
Speaker F
And like that, you can wash your hands now.
Speaker F
Lose your spoon?
Speaker F
A plastic bottle can be made into one as well.
Speaker F
But most importantly, don't leave any plastic in the woods.
Speaker F
Nobody likes a litter bug.
Speaker F
Especially the animals.
Speaker E
Huh.
Speaker C
It's sort of boring, camping out is way more fun when you have your friends with you.
Speaker C
I kind of wish Fire were here.
Speaker B
Yeah.
Speaker B
He'd play guitar.
Speaker B
Or tell us scary stories and Nolik would get super scared.
Speaker E
Fire?
Speaker E
I hear something out there.
Speaker E
Could we join the girls?
Speaker D
Never.
Speaker D
We said we'd do it.
Speaker D
But now we got to follow through.
Speaker C
Oh, what is that?
Speaker B
I don't know.
Speaker C
Stop.
Speaker D
Whoa.
Speaker E
Whoa.
Speaker C
Whoa.
Speaker E
It's a fixie eater.
Speaker E
We're done for.
Speaker B
Wait a sec.
Speaker D
Yeah.
Speaker D
There's your fixie eater, guys.
Speaker D
Fixies work all day and night and hide so we can't see them.
Speaker D
We need them inside our homes and science museums.
Speaker D
With atoms, planets, dinosaurs and more to learn about.
Speaker D
But if you meet a fixie, please don't let their secret out.
Speaker D
But if you meet a fixie, please don't let their secret out.
Speaker A
Growing up.
Speaker F
Nolik, what are you up to?
Speaker E
Well, I'm trying to stretch out.
Speaker F
But why?
Speaker E
Because I need to grow ASAP, Simka and Verda, they left me out again, all because I'm just too short.
Speaker E
Whoa.
Speaker F
That method's going to take a long time.
Speaker E
Do you know of a quicker way?
Speaker F
Hmm.
Speaker F
We'll figure it out.
Speaker E
Living things are able to grow because their cells divide.
Speaker E
It all starts with one tiny little cell.
Speaker E
But then our bodies produce a whole slew of them.
Speaker E
When a baby is born, their height is only about 50 centimeters or 20 inches.
Speaker E
But then they start to grow and grow until they become an adult.
Speaker E
How tall they're going to be depends on the height of both their parents and also on how well they eat, sleep, and exercise.
Speaker F
My mom always says that you need to eat in order to grow.
Speaker F
So, eat up.
Speaker E
I can't eat soup.
Speaker E
Did you forget, fixies need power, not lunch.
Speaker F
Yeah, well power hasn't made you tall.
Speaker E
Fine, I'll try it, give me that soup.
Speaker E
How do you eat this stuff?
Speaker F
With some sour cream.
Speaker F
Dad likes it with bread.
Speaker E
No thanks, I'm good.
Speaker F
Hmm.
Speaker F
I thought of another way.
Speaker F
So, plants grow by getting plenty of sun and water.
Speaker F
It might just work.
Speaker E
And maybe I'll grow.
Speaker E
It's freezing.
Speaker E
I bet I've grown by now.
Speaker E
Let's check.
Speaker E
How tall?
Speaker F
Still the same.
Speaker F
Someday, you'll be an inch.
Speaker E
Huh.
Speaker F
Plants take more time to grow.
Speaker F
You should stay in the pot for at least a week.
Speaker E
But I got to grow today.
Speaker F
Oh.
Speaker F
And sometimes plants need to be nourished.
Speaker E
Didn't we talk about this?
Speaker E
No more soup for me.
Speaker E
So sleep will help grow me?
Speaker F
I think so.
Speaker F
Now close your eyes.
Speaker F
Here, I'll read till you fall asleep.
Speaker F
Let's try geographical zones overview.
Speaker F
The equatorial zone is situated in the equatorial latitudes.
Speaker F
The temperature.
Speaker F
Over there is 26 to 27 degrees Celsius.
Speaker F
The precipitation.
Speaker E
Tom Thomas.
Speaker F
Ah.
Speaker E
Are you asleep?
Speaker F
Oops.
Speaker E
None of these things are working.
Speaker F
They work for people.
Speaker E
What can I do then?
Speaker E
Aha.
Speaker E
Scientists are known to work for years and years.
Speaker E
Before making great discoveries.
Speaker E
But sometimes discoveries happen by accident.
Speaker E
For instance, an apple falling onto Isaac Newton's head led to an amazing realization.
Speaker E
If an object falls, there must be an unseen force somewhere pushing it towards the earth.
Speaker E
And that's how the law of universal gravitation was first discovered.
Speaker E
When biologist Alexander Fleming went on vacation, mold began to grow in his laboratory.
Speaker E
It turned out that when bacteria was near it, the mold disappeared.
Speaker E
And that's how penicillin was discovered.
Speaker E
And penicillin, of course, went on to save millions of lives.
Speaker E
It's also said that scientist Dimitri Mendeleev first saw the periodic table of elements in his dream.
Speaker E
Talk about a good night's sleep.
Speaker F
Well, Fire, ready?
Speaker D
I sure am.
Speaker D
Time to ride.
Speaker D
It works.
Speaker F
Denise.
Speaker F
Congratulations, everyone.
Speaker D
Tomorrow, we'll all invent something new.
Speaker F
Well, I'm afraid genius ideas don't come every day, my friend.
Speaker D
I predict we'll have one, two, three.
Speaker D
Three new inventions before you know it.
Speaker F
Oh.
Speaker F
Three.
Speaker F
I don't get it.
Speaker F
Want some pie?
