The books all have little numbers on the back and those 07:47 numbers all mean different things. 07:49 Different subjects, now this book happens to be about 07:52 the sea, and this one is about the mountains. 07:54 So if you want a book about the sea, you go to the card 07:57 catalog, or the computer and looked under S for sea. 08:00 Or M for mountains and they will give you a little 08:04 number and you'll go to that spot. 08:06 Okay, so this says, 551.4, so we would have to look 08:12 in the 500 section?

13:02 No! - Well how does it get it then? 13:04 Through the roots. 13:06 Oh, up through the roots. 13:08 Okay how about if we do an experiment show that, okay? 13:12 We will take some celery and cut it on a diagonal. 13:16 Like that, then if you could put one drop of red 13:19 food coloring in to the bottom of that cup. 13:22 Did you see how we cut it on an angle? 13:24 That's right, you can put one more in probably. 13:28 Then we will put in some water. 13:31 Don't put the lid on just yet in case 13:34 we need a bit more. 13:35 How about a little tad more? 13:37 One more drop, we want to make it a pretty red. 13:39 There we go, and we will go like this. 13:43 Do you want to put that in the water, please? 13:52 We will put that over here and believe it or not 13:57 this piece of celery, you won't believe 13:59 it almost has something like little straws 14:02 inside of it, did you know that? 14:04 These little straws are going to suck up 14:07 that red food coloring. 14:09 Would you like to see what it looks like? 14:11 Yes! - this is what it is going to 14:13 look like afterwards. 14:14 Now do you see right now how it is still bright 14:17 green, but after it sits in this red water, 14:21 for awhile, it's leaves will be red like this. 14:24 Let me show you what it looks like 14:26 on the inside, okay? 14:28 Let's get it over here and do you want to 14:30 cut that off Jana? 14:37 Do you see those little tubes? 14:39 Yeah! - sure enough see all those 14:41 little red dots are the ends of the little straws 14:45 that are inside the celery, 14:47 that are sucking up the water. 14:48 Isn't that interesting? 14:50 Now it doesn't stop there though. 14:52 The plant also shares the water. 14:55 What we did earlier, was we took a plastic 14:59 bag, just a regular plastic bag and put it 15:02 around this leaf and tied it real tight 15:06 with a twist tie. 15:07 Then the plant sat in the sun. 15:10 Now Jana what do you see all inside there? 15:13 Condensation? - condensation because the 15:15 leaf gives off the water and it is collecting 15:19 on that bag, but you know on big trees on a 15:22 hot summer day, a big tree can give off nearly 15:25 25 gallons of water. 15:28 We don't see it going into the air, but it does. 15:31 This is a fun experiment that you can try at home. 15:34 So you can see that your plants, or your trees, 15:36 are giving off water. 15:39 Did you know that the leaves of the tree are like 15:41 miniature food factories? They are! 15:44 They produce all the food that 15:46 gives the tree the 15:47 energy to grow. 15:48 Here's how! 15:49 They use 3 ingredients. 15:51 Water, sunshine, and carbon dioxide. 15:55 You know how the water gets up to the leaves? 15:58 Then the sun shines on the leaves, and the leaves 16:01 absorbs the Suns rays. 16:02 But where does the carbon dioxide come from? 16:06 You are right, from the air. 16:08 The leaves absorb carbon dioxide from the air 16:11 and then they mix those 3 ingredients together. 16:15 The water, the sunshine, and the carbon dioxide, 16:18 is mixed together and it makes sugar. 16:21 That sugar is what gives the tree the energy to grow 16:26 into a big, strong tree like this one. 16:29 At the same time that it is making that sugar, 16:32 the leaf is also sharing something. 16:36 It is giving off oxygen for you and for me to breath. 16:41 If there wasn't oxygen in the air, the animals 16:44 would die and we would die too. 16:47 I think the leaf doesn't important work, don't you? 16:52 Since we have been talking about sharing, 16:54 Kimberly and I decided that it would be fun 16:56 to make a healthy treat you can share. 16:58 Do we want to put a lot of sugar in our bodies Kimberly? 17:01 No! - no we sure don't. 17:03 This is a treat made with all natural fruit. 17:06 First we put in the frozen 17:08 blueberries, and now Kimberly 17:09 will you put in some dried peaches? 17:12 Sure! - Okay great, how about one more? 17:16 Great, Kimberly why don't you put in 17:18 a spoon full of raisins because they 17:21 lots of iron in them. 17:23 Can you get them out? 17:25 Good, that was good. 17:32 How about an apricot too? 17:35 Apricots are so good for you. 17:37 Great, okay so we have a little bit of everything. 17:41 Now plug your ears! 17:43 Because we are going to turn the blender on. 17:53 Now Kimberly if you would like to move 17:56 those containers off to that side, thank you. 18:01 Then we'll move the blender off. 18:05 Oh this looks yummy doesn't it? 18:09 Yes! - doesn't that look good? 18:15 You know dry fruit and fresh fruit are fun to work 18:18 with because it is so pretty. 18:20 Now, and it is also good for you. 18:23 Now we can spread these on to the crackers, 18:25 can't we? 18:27 We can both start spreading. 18:29 There is a knife for you. 18:33 Now go ahead, oh this looks good. 18:37 This will be fun to share with somebody won't it? 18:40 And what we can do to make it pretty, you spread 18:43 them and I will put a blueberry on the top of each one. 18:48 How will that be? 18:57 Kimberly, I have an idea. 18:58 What about if we shared one of these 19:00 with Bradley the cameraman? 19:02 Sure!

That would alert somebody 24:43 to what they were doing. 24:44 But the thing he really noticed was that there were 24:48 3 holes that were left that did not have a screw in them. 24:52 So he said to Mrs. McIntyre, did you notice that? 24:57 He said I think that either they ran out of screws, 25:00 or somebody came along and it scared them so they 25:03 couldn't finish their job. 25:05 She said, that doesn't make sense 25:08 Angels don't leave jobs half undone. 25:10 She was one of the ones who thought it was Angels 25:13 doing all these good deeds. 25:15 Roy said, well Mrs. McIntyre, I think it was people 25:19 who did it. 25:20 In fact, I would like your permission to come to 25:23 your house tonight and watch. 25:25 She said okay. 25:27 So he waited till about 10 o'clock that evening 25:29 when it was nice and dark and then he went up there. 25:32 She said you know why don't you sit out here 25:35 in this little shed and you will see them 25:38 if they come or if they go. 25:39 So he thought that was fine and he had a flashlight 25:42 with him, and propped himself up between some old boards 25:46 and buckets and stuff. 25:47 He made himself as comfortable as possible and 25:50 then he waited. 25:51 Well he waited and he waited and he waited and he waited. 25:57 He started to get tired, it was getting darker and darker. 26:03 It was the later and later, and pretty soon it got 26:12 creepy and eerie, and it was the creepy and scary. 26:22 Pretty soon, he would fall asleep. 26:25 Then he heard a noise and he was looking everywhere 26:27 for his flashlight and he found it and flashed it on. 26:31 It was Mrs. McIntyre, here he thought he had caught them 26:36 and all it was, was Mrs. McIntyre. 26:38 She said, did you see them? and he said, see what? 26:41 She said, I know they were here because I heard noises 26:45 and came running out, but they were gone. 26:46 He said, well when did they come? 26:49 She said, he couldn't have been that long ago, 26:52 maybe 5 or 10 minutes, but when I heard them I had 26:54 to put some clothes on before I could come out. 26:57 He said, well do you know which way they went? 27:00 She said, I don't know. 27:01 He said, I'm going to follow them and so he went 27:04 running out of the yard as fast as he could. 27:06 He got down to the end of her driveway, her gate. 27:10 He didn't know which way to go. 27:14 Do you want to know which way he went? 27:17 Next time I will tell you, okay? 27:20 Do you remember, did you catch the mystery word today? 27:24 Did you remember to watch carefully for it? 27:26 I think it is a nice word, 27:28 its friends. 27:30 And that is why I like 27:31 being with you. 27:33 Sharing is fun, and 27:34 I have enjoyed sharing 27:36 with you today. 27:37 I just hope that we can become better friends. 27:40 See you next time! |
