the globe
ready
set
go
[Music]
[Laughter]
oh
again i couldn't do it i told you
there's just no way to hold on when the
globe is turning that fast but i know i
can do it
hmm
give me that piece of rope there would
you
now you can't throw me off spin it
[Music]
go on
[Music]
what you doing trying to learn a bit
about the earth's gravity that's a globe
not the earth well a globe's a model of
the earth isn't it hey come on simca the
globe looks like a ball but the earth is
flat we walk on it the earth also looks
like a ball it's just a very very big
one it's not true if the earth is really
round like you say then it would throw
people right off of it like the globe
does to me no it's just that the earth
pulls everyone towards it
are you sure
the planet that we live on the earth is
a huge sphere
the earth revolves around the sun
and the moon revolves around the earth
do you know why they don't fly away from
each other it's because of a force
called gravity that pulls all objects
towards each other the heavier the
object the stronger its pull that's why
people rocks air and water get pulled
towards the earth instead of floating up
into space thanks to gravity we are able
to walk on the
[Music]
earth why doesn't the globe pull on me
like the earth does because this globe
is very light compared to the earth this
globe is like millions of billions of
times lighter
compared to the earth we're specks of
dust he's right look a speck of dust it
sticks to the globe like we stick to the
earth come on it's just cause no one's
turning it but the earth spinning and we
stick to it
what i just don't believe you there's
just no way the earth is spinning you've
really got no idea how the days all turn
into the nights do you do too it's
because the sun goes up and then sets
[Music]
watch this our sun's here and you're
over there
on earth
is it dark no look it's dark then it's
nighttime on your side and here it's day
all right now we'll turn the earth
parade now it's day time for me and
night for me over here
ah my side got dark again and for me
it's a new day all right fine you guys
were right i believe you
the earth is spinning
the earth goes round and round like a
tilted spinning top and as it spins the
sun shines its light on whichever half
of the earth is facing it
and as the earth makes one full turn we
watch how the night becomes day and the
day becomes night again it takes 24
hours for the earth to make one full
turn
but that's not all the earth is also
traveling in space around the sun it
takes the earth for one year to make a
full circle as it goes along its way the
top and bottom of the earth take turns
being closer to the sun that's because
the earth is tilted when the top half is
closer to the sun it's summer there
while at the very same time on the
bottom half it is winter
and when it is winter on the top half it
is summer on the bottom
[Music]
no look
no look where are you i'm not sure
somewhere in kazakhstan the force of
gravity is super strong around here so
go on spin it you're gonna fall off no
lick
don't worry just do it
go ahead and tilt it if you feel like it
told ya
and you were sure i was gonna fall off
this globe
that's strange nolan come on over here
what for you'll see in a second i don't
want to you really don't want or you
can't tom thomas take a look
i get it he stuck himself to the globe
didn't he yeah with the chewing gum
isn't it time to go
uh-huh
and me well what about me
hey
you gotta help me don't leave me should
we help him
[Music]
i never would have thunk it but the pull
of chewing gum is even stronger than the
earth's gravity
the disguise
oh good
tom thomas
why do you need a second aquarium
especially without any fish
first of all it's a terrarium and it's
not for fish it's for lizards and snakes
ooh my friend katya asked me to take
care of him while she's away that's why
i brought him here take care of who
there's no one in there
what is that
it's a chameleon nolik i think he's
awesome it's a bad idea to take him out
he might run away don't you worry i got
him
what a monster
but how come i couldn't see him before
it's because a chameleon knows how to
disguise himself by changing the color
of his whole body
have you ever seen a military uniform
they have special patterns and colors
that help soldiers hide that's called
camouflage and people learned it from
animals for instance a caterpillar can
look like a twig and the seahorse can
look like a piece of coral an ordinary
gray rabbit becomes white in the winter
so a wolf will have trouble finding it
in the snow
but the champion of camouflage is the
chameleon this master of disguise can
change its color in just a matter of
seconds
hey tom thomas where's your chameleon go
oh it disappeared
it didn't disappear it camouflaged he
won't hide for long let's find him
[Music]
have you seen the chameleon
where is he
do you see him
[Music]
no he's not gonna let us catch him
we're gonna have to to trick him into
coming to us
uh-huh we should set a trap with
something that he likes what do they
like i wonder what else their food and
what do chameleons eat well like flies
or caterpillars roaches where's the fly
gonna come from
well what if
what
oh simka just you wait i'm gonna get you
hey we gotta help katya you don't see
the caterpillar complaining
no look you start buzzing buzzing yeah
like a fly yeah and flap your wings too
[Music]
how long do i gotta keep doing this
until the chameleon shows himself just
keep buzzing
tom thomas there he is
[Music]
quickly i've got a hold of him
[Music]
in the army they use camouflage all the
time they use nets that look like bushes
paint their tanks and colors that make
them blend into their surroundings and
even fly in special planes that can't be
seen by radar they do everything they
can to disguise their location
but it's not just the army that uses
disguises photographers camouflage
themselves to take pictures of wild
animals
people use makeup to camouflage their
blemishes
and artists they disguise old walls with
bright happy pictures
and people just love to put on
masquerade parties where they disguise
themselves in costumes and masks
and of course fixies have their own
great disguise
remember well what is it
now he won't run away so mr master of
disguise what are you gonna say now if
only i could disguise myself that well
no
what are you talking about
you know how to disguise yourself a
hundred times better than him
oh you're right
hey chameleon look and learn here's a
real disguise
[Music]
the secret up but if you need a picture
please don't let the secret up but if
you need a picture please
