Hi, I’m Caroline and this is… Science Saves the Day!
- Okay, who can I help today? - I could use a ruff ruff rescue.
Hey Marshall! What’s the problem?
I wanna make Chickaletta a really special snack.
She loves popcorn! But can you help me make
her a special kind of popcorn?
You bet! I could save the day with science!
- Thanks Caroline! Can I help? - Of course you can help!
- And you can too! - Let’s go, go, go!
Science is all about making smart guesses and trying new things.
Like trying a new way to make popcorn. First we ask a question.
Like, what happens when we try to pop popcorn while it’s still on the cob?
Now we make a smart guess about what the answer could be.
- That’s called a prediction. - Hmm I don’t think that corn will pop
- if it’s still on the cobb, Caroline. - That’s one prediction.
My prediction is that the kernels will pop on the cob.
- What do you think will happen? - I’m fired up to find out!
- We can find out by doing an experiment. - Let’s do it!
We’ll take this special dried corn on the cob and put it in these bags.
- Don’t want any popcorn escaping. - No way.
Now my dad could help us with the microwave.
- Happy to help. - Thanks dad.
Safety alert! Kids should never touch microwaves.
- That’s only for grown-ups. - Yep! Ruff ruff!
Let’s watch.
- It popped! - It’ popped again!
- I think it’s working! - Wow!
It’s ready!
It’s gonna be really hot so make sure a grown up helps.
- Thanks Dad. - No problem.
- Are you ready to see what happened? - Yeah!
- Ooh! - Wow it really works!
- Whoa! - It’s popcorn on the cob!
- Caroline, your prediction was right! - What about you?
Did you predict this was going to happen?
Interesting. Okay. Here’s what we learned. We can make popcorn on the cob!
- I hope snacking is part of science! - Chickaletta!
- We made you a special snack. - Using science.
[clucking]
I think she likes it!
Hi there. It’s me, Molly. Let’s play Zoomed in Zoo!
I’m going to show you a super close up picture of an animal.
Whoa! That’s close.
And you guess what it is. Here we go!
Wow! We’re really zoomed in!
What is that?
- It’s looking at me. - Yeah, it’s an eye.
Yeah! That’s a really big eye! What could it be?
- A lizard? - A snake?
On the right track! Here’s another look!
- Oh! Those are its feet! - Look at those toes.
Yeah! This animal has really sticky feet.
The stickiness helps them climb. What else do you see?
- Long legs. - Super long legs.
Uh huh. Getting warmer.
Let’s keep zooming out
Maybe it’s a frog.
You got it! It’s a Red Eyed Tree Frog! Did you know these little guys are called
tree frogs because, guess what, they live in trees.
Whoa! Look at him go!
- Do you hear that? - Uh! That sounds like a thunder cloud
rolling in.
♪ When you look up at the sky and you see A storm brewing. Deep inside the clouds ♪
♪ The party starts grooving. Check it out Now, rain and lights jump around ♪
♪ Building up the energy to send The lightening down ♪
Watch out for the big storm cloud!
♪ Time to go inside. The fun starts now. The thunder’s just a sound ♪
♪ When the lightening goes down, everybody Say boom as we gather all around ♪
♪ If you ever wonder about the thunder and The lightening, if you get how it works ♪
♪ It won’t be frightening. So here’s how it goes ♪
♪ First the lightning strikes, yo. The thunder goes boom ♪
♪ And the rain starts to flow. When we Feel raindrops we always drop knowledge ♪
Did you know that lightening is 5 times hotter than the sun?
Wow! - Cool!

Hi, I’m Caroline and this is… Science Saves the Day!
- Okay, who can I help today? - Hey Caroline!
- Whoa! - Whoops! Sorry to surprise you!
But I could really use your help. I have a bunch of white flowers in my garden
that I wanna make super colorful but I ran out of flower coloring potion.
- Can you help? - Yeah!
- Great! Where do you keep your potions? - I don’t have any potions.
But I can save the day with science. Let’s go!
First we ask a question. Like flowers drink water so what will happen if we
change the color of the water they drink?
That’s a great question! I don’t know the answer.
That’s okay, Shine. We can find out by making a smart guess.
about what the answer could be. That’s called a prediction.
I predict that they’ll stay exactly the same.
And my prediction is that the color of the water
will change the color of the flowers.
What do you think will happen? We can find out by doing an experiment.
Here’s some flowers. Let’s change the color of the water and see what happens.
Ooh! Pretty!
Uh Caroline. Nothing’s happening.
Sometimes science takes time. We’ll check in on our experiment later.
- What should we do while we wait? - Hmm, Genie makeover?
Great!
Wow! You look Zahra-mazing!
[giggles]
- Are you ready to see what happened? - I’m ready!
We’ve been waiting all day.
- Ah! - The flowers changed color!
Oh look! The flowers really liked the blue coloring! Ooh! Red too!
They drink it right up! - Yeah and they even drink up some
- of the green and yellow! - Your prediction was right!
The flowers turn the same color as the water they were in.
- And I’m glad they did! - What about you?
Did you think this would happen?
Fascinating!
I can’t wait to tell Shimmer! She won’t believe this,
especially since we didn’t even use magic.
Yeah. Science saved the day!
Ah Caroline, before we go. Can you help me with a few more flowers?
Whoa! I better get some more food coloring.
[giggles]
Hi there. It’s me, Molly. Let’s play Zoomed in Zoo!
I’m going to show you a super close up picture of an animal.
Whoa! That’s close.
And you guess what it is. Here we go!
Take a look. Any guesses?
Is it scales?
- Not scales. Is it feathers? - Right!
They’re feathers. This special animals has hundreds of colorful feathers.
Let’s zoom out a little. What do you think?
A bird?
Yeah, a bird.
Yeah, you got it! It’s definitely a bird
and it’s got some pretty big feet.
- What kind of bird do you think it is? - Hmm.
- A parrot? - Maybe a turkey?
- What about a peacock? - Awesome! You got it! It’s a peacock!
Did you know a peacock’s long tail is also called a train?
Wow! Looking good!
Weather Guppy Goby here! Coming to you with the Noggin Weather Report!
We now take you live to Peppa Pig’s house. Let’s see what the weather is like there.
Is it raining or snowing?
Right! It’s raining! Better grab your umbrella!
But don’t worry. We predict clear skies for the afternoon.
[oink]
Daddy, can we go out to play?
Perfect weather to jump in muddy puddles. But don’t forget your boots!
Now let’s check out Blaze’s neck of the woods. Does it look like sunny skies?
Or stormy showers?
- Right! Sunny skies! - Whoo hoo!
A perfect day to play outside!
This just in. We’re getting a report from Adventure Bay! Let’s take a look!
Is it sunny or snowy?
Right! It’s snowy!
- Snowy! - Wee!
If you’re visiting the Paw Patrol, you better bundle up!
It’s a perfect day for sledding!
Or… bowling.
- Are you okay? - I’m better than okay!
Now over to Gill reporting live from…
- Gill? - I’m okay.
Well that’s the Noggin Weather Report! See ya next time!
Hi, I’m Caroline and this is… Science Saves the Day!
- Okay, who can I help today?
- Hey Caroline! - Hey Gil! What’s the problem?
We’re throwing a party for Bubble Puppy and I want to make some
mind blowing bubbles!
Flower bubbles, heart bubbles, and stars!
Every shape there is! Can you help?
Sure, I can save the day with science!
- But how? - I’ll show you. Let’s go!
Okay. You want different shaped bubbles. Let’s use science to figure this out.
First we ask a question. Like we know we can make round bubbles.
But can we make other shaped bubbles?
That’s a great question! Then what?
Now we make a smart guess
about what the answer could be. You make a prediction.
I predict that different bubble wands will make different shaped bubbles.
I’m not sure. What do you think will happen?
Hmm.
We can find out by doing an experiment.
Here’s some different shaped bubble wands.
Oh I got this! Flower, heart, and star!
Let’s see what shape bubbles each wand makes.
- The flower wand... - Makes round bubbles.
- The heart wand… - Also makes round bubbles.
- The star wand… - Whoa! It makes round bubbles too!
Interesting!
You said it! No matter what bubble wand we use,
they all make round bubbles!
Caroline, my prediction didn’t come true.
That’s okay, Gil. That’s part of science.
What about you? Did you predict this was going to happen?
Interesting. Okay. Here’s what we learned.
We may not have made different shaped bubbles, but we did make different sizes.
The big bubble wand made a big bubble. The small bubble wand made a small bubble.
Yeah! You’re right!
We can blow all different size bubbles for Bubble Puppy’s party!
[barking]
Bubble Puppy!
Time to party!
[laughing]
[barking]
