The Fixies | Season 2 | Complete Collection

[Music] no links Q Tom Thomas you'll be late for school if you don't stop school don't you worry what's he breaking this time this time nothing he's solving a Rubik's Cube no like who's cube is it the Rubik's Cube is the most popular puzzle game in the whole world it was invented by Professor Rubik from Hungary a cube has six sides on it and on a Rubik's Cube each of these sides has nine squares that are all the same color you start by mixing up the colors solve a Rubik's Cube you have to turn the pieces and you keep turning and turning them until each side is one solid color again for instance red or yellow or light blue there's nothing hey Tom Thomas how long have you been messing around with this Cube already it's been three whole days of turning three whole days we can solve that puzzle in five minutes now couldn't we Simca oh really then go right ahead I'm off to school well you're ready to show Tom Thomas whose boss has just count me out hey I thought you said Rubik's cubes are easy to solve I never said anything like that this problem is all yours Mr bragger all right I'll figure it out myself [Music] hey nolik looks like you've got a problem oh hi fire now I'm good just solving this Rubik's Cube yeah can I do it with you what you can do it of course I can how hard can it be you'll see for yourself try getting all the red squares on one side piece of cake now hold it tight great I'm with you [Music] [Applause] [Music] she mean like that class uh and what about this side what this side's gotta be all blue okay let's go fix it [Music] there like you wanted now what happened to the red side huh Demko is telling me that on each side there has to be one color oh like so could be able to do this Simka can do it all well if Simca can then I can't too [Music] fire you busted the cube I didn't bust it I took it apart now let's put it together and not just anyway but the right way puzzles are toys games or problems that force you to use your mind in a clever and creative way pick a labyrinth for example in a prince the challenge is to find the one way to get through a series of Tangled corridors another fun puzzle is a jigsaw puzzle here you need to put together a picture out of many little pieces for this you need to not only pay attention but be patient and there are all sorts of puzzles for the computer one popular computer puzzle is Tetris in Tetris different shapes fall down the screen and you have to think quickly to get them to line up into roads and solving puzzles isn't only a great activity for people it's good for fixies too that's right puzzles are like exercises for our brain [Music] cook there all done no lick you better hurry cause Tom Thomas is on his way home hi there some gum just take a look at this we did it I can't believe it how oh it was a piece of cake Simca no look I'm back well I'm out of here ciao [Applause] [Music] wow you really solved it it was no like nolik you are cool so how you see first you break it apart into all of the pieces and then you put it all back together no that's cheating you gotta turn the cube not take it apart now I'll solve this Cube honestly I don't think you can why yet so sure I glued it together ah how come so you'll stop straining your brain with it now the cube will always be the right way but if it doesn't turn it's not a Rubik's Cube well yeah now it's a Rolex cube right the team the first period is almost over Tom Thomas's team is leading to nothing there's no getting around the difference in class [Music] over here [Music] foreign [Music] and that's the end of the period time for the teams to take a break isn't a fair game there's six there's six of these guys and only two of us go ahead and call your classmates I'll still out score you you sure about that boy uh-huh well Tom Thomas you asked for it young fixies take classes and study just like human kids but fixie schools are quite a bit different than schools for people to begin with there are no more than 10 students in a room in simca's class for instance there are six and the children don't study in one place on one day the lesson could be inside a refrigerator the next day in a computer and the day after that in a vacuum cleaner this is the best way for fixies to learn all about them and put their new knowledge to the test most important thing is that they have to learn to work as a team and help each other stronger fixies helping weaker ones and older fixies helping younger ones this this is a massive prefixes because appliances are so very big that if we didn't work as a team we little fixies could never get by [Music] as the second period is about to begin our full team comes safe huh introducing the engine of our class my motor's roaring and now the brains of our class DJ okay what's the score now here is the spirit of our class could I fear goalie and here she is the face of our class Verda and oh what a cute one so you want to quit Tom Thomas I'm not afraidia [Music] nulik pass phew I'm calculating the angle to use it quick quit sleeping if you're gonna scream at me I'm not going to play at all wow that's some team you got there [Music] it's a blowout now the intermission before the final period where we're something here I can tell you what you mean confidence uh calculations Elegance I know speed what's missing here's teamwork sinka you're right it's one for all and all for one and here's what we're gonna do we got it [Music] attack and check don't lose control a line change on the Fly is zooming towards the goal just go around break the tire [Music] great teamwork is a must Let's Go and show them how it's done this game was made for us [Music] [Music] I can't hear you again [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] we won Tom Thomas what do you say now how did I get creams like that cause you're by yourself here and we are a team [Music] the catapult [Music] [Applause] what was that huh strange Tom Thomas isn't here there's no way these Toy Soldiers could have shot it themselves now that was a good shot it wasn't real long and not high either and off Target it was pretty awful it was good but awful I got it so what do we do we need to raise it up a little higher hey hey there nolik why in the world would you shoot at a fixie fixies they're supposed to be in school right now actually I'm on my way to school how about you fire why aren't you in class cause there is totally boring but here look what a cool shooter we found what did you call it you've got no idea what this is It's called a catapult guys a cat with gold eyes with gold eyes it's a catapult guys [Music] catapults are ancient propulsion machines they were used to shoot Stones heavy arrows or barrels with burning tar the main part of the Catapult is a special piece of rope it is Twisted very very tightly like a spring the Rope is then wrapped around a big spoon and then if you pull the spoon back put a stone in it and let it go the Catapult fires a shot and the stone flies far far away uh-huh all right so here we go came up short what do you mean short what are you waiting at you'll see the spoon needs to go further back just a little guys you're gonna break the glass yeah no like now push all right yes right on target now let's fly out into space wait what space what kind of flying Who's Gonna Fly I'm gonna fly right out the window right up to the Moon first fix it onto the world nolik are you ready for your flight into space yes sir get out of the spoon now I'll be the first fix Young on the moon yeah no lick enough of this what kind of joke is this it's not a joke at all he's gonna fly into space and how come it's not you because he's lighter hold on here didn't go straight into space themselves they sent dogs out there first chusaka's not gonna fit in here Simka why don't you go and let us finish fine I will go but only Alex finds himself a helmet hmm you're right about that I'll go find a helmet [Applause] the Catapult was invented in ancient times but people still use them today only now instead of launching Stones catapults are used to launch jet airplanes you see the runway on an aircraft carrier is quite short so catapults are used to help the planes move fast enough to take off catapults can also be used to save the life of a pilot when an airplane has an accident a catapult activates in the cabin the pilot is shot into the sky and comes back to the ground with a parachute a plain old slingshot is also a kind of catapult it's just a very little one but be careful with this toy it can be dangerous to others and to you too as for us fixies the only time that we use catapults is on a peaceful mission and if I made new faces up there what should I say to them hi there then you can ask them to want you back so let's do it foreign [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] it's not our fault you're just heavier than nolik and that's why you came up short poppers maybe we can try one more time what [Music] the vent Tom Thomas Tom Thomas okay [Applause] Simca Tula check it out it's pretty isn't it Splendid it's nothing but a trinket it's completely useless useless look how well it matches my hair clip useful things are the kinds of things you truly need for instance like this rope ladder I've got it's Splendid and where do you plan on climbing with this thing now this mirror here is both useful and pretty oh how Splendid tool you say you say everything is Splendid well here's something super Splendid that I bet you don't have oh what is it it's a mechanical super claw it must be just perfect for scratching your back now look what I have a photograph of vector and he signed it for me too I sure that's Vector you've got a photo of the bravest pixie on the face of the entire planet yeah and the most beautiful is it him for sure no way let me take a look uh-uh you'll smudge it you've been fooled no yes gel you are [Music] what was that uh a draft this is completely your fault it's not my fault it's your fault for bragging so much please girl stop fighting let's go find it foreign [Music] it's just horrible to lose a picture signed by the most famous fixie ever it will be horrible when that picture of a fixie is found by humans so where could it be I know how we can find it exactly we'll blow a bubble and watch which way it goes as it floats away we'll follow it and find your picture do you know why you can blow bubbles out of soapy water at the surface of any liquid there's an invisible film that is very thin but very strong if you want to see it for yourself fill up a glass with water all the way to the very top now you need to take a coin and carefully drop it into the water sideways then drop in another coin and another and another you'll see that the water doesn't pour out but Rises up and forms a hump that because the water at the top sticks together why because of a force called surface tension thanks to surface tension water can form drops it also helps us blow soap bubbles because when we add soap into the water the food gets even stronger but still not strong enough to stop the bubbles from bursting [Music] okay it's ready now we need to blow [Music] oh do it together and [Music] oh I don't think this way is gonna work [Music] [Music] the vent of course why didn't I think of that before [Music] seen holes in the bathroom or kitchen that are covered with grids well those are called Vents and behind the vent is a long pipe called an air duct unpleasant odors musty air can be forced into the ducts and sent out of the house and if you want that old stale air to leave the house even faster open a window and let in some of the fresh air from outside keep the air in your home as fresh as it can be [Music] hey how can we grab it what do you mean don't you remember what I've got thank you Simka why would we ever have done without your mechanical claw and your fantastic ladder then here you go a present for you oh thanks it's just great and I want to give you the whole G it's just Splendid Simca are you here [Music] huh what you got there Simka a little mirror it's pretty don't you think oh you girls you're all the same the stain [Music] Tom Thomas what's going on if you really want to watch TV then you gotta turn it on first I'm not watching it I'm looking at my reflection I'm working on a self-portrait and which shelf will you be painting in your shelf portrait it's not a shelf portrait it's called a self-portrait it's when an artist draws or paints a picture of himself of himself ha you think you've got muscles like this superhero I see here on this paper how can I see exactly what my muscles look like and anyway let the artist do his work [Music] Tom Thomas you're sure there's a spot oh no what it off quickly [Music] it's even worse so now what ah what we really need is Mafia ordinary dirt can be cleaned off with a brush or washed off with water but there are stains that are not that easy to get rid of stains from fruit need to be soaked in hot water first blood stains on the other hand should never be washed in hot water you can clean stains from paint or rust as well only for those you'll need to use a special stain remover but stain remover should only be used with the help of a parent or other adults that knows how to use them safely hey I know a great way to do it what do you use to get rid of pencil marks an eraser only this shirt isn't paper and so what try it what's the harm now I've got three colors to get off hello with white out yeah [Music] that was a bad idea I got it you have to use some water foreign [Music] don't you think no you can't wash lights with colors and you've got a white shirt with colors all over it then how about if we try some more water how much more can you use any more ideas you know what it's possible we did something wrong thing you did was wrong you should have used a spot remover to clean off that stain a spot remover no way we'll take a look at it I think it's marvelous they painted that white shirt so nicely [Music] Tula is simka's best friend she's very she's very tall almost as tall as Papa's yeah she's the tallest one in her class and she's strong too Tula loves to laugh and she does it louder than everybody that's just the way she is cheerful and kind ready to help anyone who needs it and making sure her friends are getting along of course I don't like that she treats me like a baby especially since she's the one that's a scaredy cat she can even get scared of a cute little spider gives and all sorts of silly superstitions and horoscopes who will believe anything you tell her which is really great because it makes it so easy to play tricks on her but she takes it all in good fun that's because she's Tula he was on purpose wasn't it well yeah [Music] for just one of one of them don't worry nolik I forgot that this is an old shirt and I'm allowed to get it all dirty if I won and I tried so hard to clean it put another spot there and over here one in the middle and a line over there Splendid that looks great and how about down there wow it's like fireworks Blended there's a name for this style of painting and properly speaking it's an abstract painting they have lots of lines and spots and everyone sees whatever they want in them [Music] a Golden Ball by the river and there's Tom Thomas with an F on his report card [Music] Tom Thomas what did you do to your room and your shirt you know what they call it it's a abstract art hmm there's something good in it I like it abstract art isn't it great ah My Little artist [Music] friction foreign Thomas that door of yours squeaks terribly yeah and it's not easy to open either well that's because the hinges are rubbing that's why your door is not working right how can I fix it just reduce the amount of friction how with some oil on the hinges I can do it for you cause I've gotta pack a mat all right [Music] all right Simka can I help you sure you can wear the pack I'm at all right friction is the force that tries to stop something from sliding or rubbing smoothly against something else rubbing can make things wear out quickly if there's a lot of friction if you want less friction you need to put something on the parts that rub against each other like oil oil there are special kinds of Grease used to keep clocks and wheels turning smoothly and for skis a special kind of wax can be used to make them go even faster that's it now the top hinge [Music] it's all done don't go ahead and check how it's working it's not squeaking I told you you guys are the best I gotta go go where I'm gonna go sledding maybe you'll take me with you sorry no look you don't have a slit to ride on I'll see you later [Music] [Applause] Simka should I grease the saucer what for it'll slide down the hill just the way it is ah okay then [Music] um we're here for me nolik I'll be back real soon with a surprise for you [Music] slippery I know what I'll do hmm [Music] friction [Music] are you all right just stay where you are I'll be right there [Music] who called for me help is on the way who hey what are you up to Grandpa stay with you in here you'll fall over what did you say stay where you are [Music] what happened here I poured some oil on the table why'd you do that to reduce friction that's brilliant nobody move I know exactly what to do foreign [Music] you had with the friction I want to see all of this oiled gone in five minutes huh Engineers are in a constant battle with the force of friction they want less friction so that cars will run faster and their parts will wear out less quickly but just imagine what the world would be like if all of a sudden there was simply no friction at all everything would start slipping out of our hands and falling off the table knots would untie themselves and that's not the half of it cars wouldn't be able to run without friction either Wheels would spin around and around in one place unable to grab onto the road we wouldn't even be able to walk because when we walk we move forward by pushing off the ground with our feet and how can we do that without friction we can't so I think you can see why it's not so bad to have a little bit of friction in our lives [Music] we cleaned it but it's still so stinky no like I completely forgot I promised you a surprise look what is it I made you your very own saucer for sledding oh that's great great only what good is this thing without snow like hey look what I've got for you snow yeah snow yep now you've got your very own Hill to sled on you don't need oil to make it go quickly [Music] the doorbell [Music] no like no like what are you doing here just whistle on a tune are you gonna whistle that tune the whole time Tom Thomas is away he just left with his parents for a week and we've had guests coming remember what guests I invited everybody the class yes class [Applause] [Music] are they sleeping in there what huh first they invite us and now they don't want to let us in I'll share the present with you then uh fire maybe you'll get it to work now when they get here they'll ring the bell hum why don't they just do what they always do and climb through the keyhole no way it's not that simple no like today they're our guests ah the guests ring the bell and the hosts let them in the house it doesn't ring you think the doorbell's broken I say we go fix it before we fix anything we need to know what went wrong with it first we'll fix it and then we'll know what it was back in the olden days people would hang a bell over their doors with a string and guests would tug on it to make it rain today doorbells are electric and they make all sorts of different sounds some Buzz some ring and some even chirp like birds the sound comes from a box inside the house called a chime to make the chime ring you push a button that's located outside the button works just like a light switch but instead of turning on light it turns on sound Verda will you join me [Music] about this yeah you think your guests are gonna come at all of me the doorbell doesn't work it must be broken that's odd we heard it ring this morning nolik let's go first we'll examine the contacts well yep good and tight okay let's check the speaker [Music] the speaker's fine maybe the electronics are the problem and what if we disconnect these wires and switch them what do that do we'll know soon enough [Music] you know what why don't we connect the wire straight together isn't that dangerous we'll find out don't worry nothing happened yet fire he's the engine of our class he's the fastest the nimblest and the bravest fire never sits still for a second and he's always looking for adventure new ideas just burn in his head and that's why his name is fire but not all of his ideas are very good so he's constantly getting bumps and bruises he just can't help getting carried away if he's burning with an idea he can even forget about his classes at school Grandpa's punishes him for that but it doesn't seem to bother fire because some new plan will pop into his head the very next Second To be honest Fire's my favorite out of all the boys in our class it's sure never boring when he's around [Music] hey you down there I figured out why it's not working so what's the reason there's no electricity in the whole house so that's why the Bell isn't working and what we can't visit like real guests do until the electricity comes back and when will it work again don't know it could possibly take hours guys oh it's working again around he's not fooling around it's not me see then who's ringing it I don't know well I know the doorbell's ringing because fire connected the wires together true but I'll fix that right now your guests sure are noisy yeah thank goodness the humans aren't home right now hello hello there dear guests let yourself into our home through the keyhole so should we go in go where go inside nah that's not how guests act so what do we do real guests always ring the bell okay we'll be tight [Applause] the Paca map [Music] uh Simka can I have the packabat I'd like to practice with it a little before the exam take it [Music] you're really good with that thing good I couldn't be any worse with it I wanted a vacuum cleaner actually you were pretty close there he did manage to get the hose at least this is not at all funny to get a cool out of a Pac-Man only press the button on his chest but he must also clearly picture exactly the tool he needs by the time they are adults this is easy for fixies to do but while their children they must study hard to master this important skill as freakshies learn about new tools they take times to prove they know how they work and if they pass an exam the new tool is added to their pack amounts and there's no end to what you can find inside screwdrivers hammers black vacuums and even soldering irons but many of the tools that fixies use look quite different from the ones that humans have and the reason for this is very simple it's because fixies have to fix appliances that are much bigger than they are I just wish I knew which tool was gonna be on that exam I got it you stay right here what [Music] um which tool are you gonna ask about it's a secret but I'm sure you can keep a secret right of course then I'll tell you today's exam is on pliers you see you won't tell anyone will you not a chance uh I'll never pass it you will you ask about pliers huh how could you know that it's a secret okay digit see if you can get the pliers out of there a pair of tires is a great tool indeed to grab and turn things it's the tool that you need [Music] just be careful how you use them all your fingers you could bruise are a great tool indeed just be careful how you use them or your fingers you could bruise them Pliers are a great tool indeed good going you got it thanks a lot doleic it's not really me you should be thanking [Music] salon for what the secret what secret about the pliers oh that you know I picked a new topic um I decided that a hammer will be the tool a hammer only it's a secret I the topic I changed Hammer you're sure about that totally all right I'll try to do it a hammer is a great tool indeed to pounding Nails it is [Music] a great tool indeed super I'm sure you're gonna pass that's only if he asks me about a hammer I'll be right back [Music] a hammer would be way too easy for those kids so now it is a drill a drill but only it's a cigarette at all [Music] our drill is such a great tool indeed [Music] just be careful how you use it for your finger you could lose [Music] Hammer's wrenches drill screwdrivers vices Mallet saws yes indeed that's all that's enough of this I'll just go and take the exam yeah okay [Music] who did you come on in um Professor well what do you want to ask me on today's exam nothing you already passed what you mean you're not gonna ask me anything at all no need you're excellent at getting tools out of a pack of mat but how could you know that that's a secret and we fixies sure know how to keep secrets the Crowbar everything's fine here too I wish something would break for a change it's already been a week and nothing's broken in here stop worrying everything breaks at some point well nothing seems to ever break inside of this house that's because we take such good care of it no Mafia it's boring with no real work to do we should move somewhere else when fixies graduate from school they must choose the place where they want to work and we'll work at factories and some on ships and summon theaters and summon hospitals too Pixies are needed everywhere now fixie families with children like to choose places that are a bit quieter usually they'll settle inside of people's houses it's not too noisy there like in a factory but there's still plenty of work to do they need to check on appliances like computers vacuum cleaners telephones irons and washing machines and thinks he's always try their best they just love being busy with work and so if there's nothing broken in the house fixie families will move to a new place where there's much more work to be done thank you no like did you hear that oh I don't want to move anywhere but think about the kids dear they've got their school and friends here do you like this friend of theirs a human kid playing with fixie kids you know as well as I that it's just not right all right then if nothing's broken down before the end of the day that's all we gotta move no I can't tomtoms comes home the day after tomorrow and we'd be gone by then pull yourself together and I won't see him anymore at all no like I have an idea what what idea if something happens to break down before the end of the day then we're not moving but what if nothing breaks calm down we're gonna make sure of it God you're a genius but how can we make it we're going to use a crowbar a crowbar is powerful and simple it's nothing more than a heavy metal bar with either sharp or flat ends it can be very helpful for breaking through concrete or ice it can also be used as a lever to root out a tree stump or move a boulder if one end of the bar has a claw cut into it then it's good for pulling out Nance yes sometimes the simplest tools are the most powerful ones we've got [Applause] [Music] devices our work will never end appliances [Music] [Music] right how about you let me try go on foreign what are you thinking I'm doing like you were doing no you're not and now I'm confused first off whatever you break it's Gotta look like it broke all by itself oh I gotcha and second you gotta break it in some way that can be fixed later did someone say something needs fixing or am I hearing things we just found out that the television's broken down are you sure yeah and one of the kids so my keyboard is stuck for real for real and the clock's not running either our life is getting back on the right track should we fixer yeah what else we are the fixies [Music] [Music] oh that was a lot to do you'd almost think that somebody broke it on purpose well we didn't do it it broke by itself yeah this apartment still needs a lot of work we shouldn't move anywhere I like it here so do I it's the best see we don't need to go anywhere [Music] Skies ah 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 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 [Music] 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 horse 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 she won't hide for long let's find him understand have you seen the chameleon where is he [Music] 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 can set a trap with something that he likes what do they like I wonder what else their food and what do chameleons eat like flies or caterpillars roaches where's the fly gonna come from oh Simca just you wait I'm Gonna Get You hey we gotta help Katya you don't see the caterpillar complaining quiet 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 [Music] there he is [Music] quickly I've got a hold of him yep I gotcha [Music] in the army they use camouflage all the time they use nits 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 Nolan what are you talking about you know how to disguise yourself a hundred times better than him ah you're right hey chameleon look and learn there's a real disguise [Music] the level Tom Thomas I'm really sorry the movie this weekend I have to cancel you do I need to go to Africa for work I leave tomorrow oh cool you think I could go with you to Africa can you even find it on the map Africa here we go mm-hmm no you're still too little when you grow as tall as the top of Africa then I'll take you with me [Music] here there oh [Music] Tom Thomas what are you down there I want to know if I'm as tall as the top of Africa or not well do you know your height okay then let's measure you and Mark how tall you are you just need to hold the book all right [Music] Simca uh how do we measure what's higher the top of Africa or this line over here [Music] hmm [Music] it's a tough one we need a piece of flexible clear tubing oh I can get it for you I know where it is and we'll build a simple tool to find out the answer it's called a water level Let's do an experiment first We'll pour water into two bottles a little bit more into one and a little less into the other now we'll connect them with a tube so that the water can flow between them you see the water flows and flows and then it stops it stops when there's the same amount of water inside of both bottles and if we do this with a simple tube it becomes a useful tool called a water level in which the water on both sides is always the same height [Music] I'm gonna watch the water level on this end all right be careful how you lift it or the water can get out [Music] the water inside the tube is even with the line there you go Tom Thomas where the water is right now is how tall you are and well it looks like Tom Thomas isn't quite tall enough for Africa what if we hold the tube a little higher you can try if you want but the water's gonna stay where it is [Music] see the water level on your side always stays the same as on the other side uh I'm not getting that tall for a while yet and what if we just lower the map a little that wouldn't be honest but it would be clever there are a lot of great Proverbs but my favorite one is measure twice cut once and to measure things right you need measuring tools the simplest one is a ruler with itself we can find out the length of an object a watch can tell us how much time has passed a speedometer shows us how fast we are moving like in a car or on a bike an electric beater keeps track of how much electricity we are using a decibel meter can tell us who is screaming or stomping louder and a beam Compass is used to accurately measure the size of a coin or a hole we couldn't get by without wonderful tools like these if we didn't measure the things we are building carefully everything around us would just come loose fall apart uh oh dead dead look dad hmm that's strange looks like you are a little taller does that mean you'll take me with you yeah are you ready yay but everyone who goes to Africa has to get vaccinated you're okay with that aren't you I need vaccinations to go are you sure yeah there's one against malaria seedsy fly crocodile bites all together there are 10 shots 10 shots yeah 10. no dad you know I was joking after you left the room I moved the map down okay I see and I was joking about all the shots you need what you mean you don't need to get shots you gotta just not ten so how many nine of them there's no vaccination anywhere to stop a crocodile from biting you modeling clay [Music] all done Simca look I've got my own Paca mat now look at that a pack of Mac made out of modeling clay but this one's my own and it looks just like a real one okay you're right it really does knowledge Simca No Lick what's up hi there fire you wanna play some tag with me I really wish I could play tag but unlike you I've got tons of work yeah like what well a bathroom hook fell down Tom Thomas broke the lamp on his desk the aquarium has a tube that's leaking so go and play I have to get a pack of mac oh oh oh I wish I could play cat hold on nolik you've got to pack a mat although I gotta say it looks a little strange that's good is it let's fix everything before Simka with your pack of Matt and my fixie board this will be great [Music] so where is that hook that fell down get out some sticky stuff from where obviously from out of your pack of Mac but it isn't real I mean not a modeling clay today out of clay well it totally looks real long ago back in the Stone Age people learned how to use clay to make their dishes and sculptures but the modeling clay that we use nowadays was only invented about a hundred years ago actually modeling clay is just plain old clay with some ingredients added so it won't dry out and dyes are mixed in to make all the different colors there is just no end to all the fun things you can make out of modeling clay [Music] I got an idea go on turn around grab and glue out of your pack of mat [Music] all right get up here will it stick yeah of course it will let's go and fix the lamp [Music] [Applause] we can't fix this without a real pack of Mac yours will work just fine [Music] what else did Simca have to fix the aquarium hop on [Music] well where's that leaky too here it's leaking at the joint yeah this tube is gonna need a lot of modeling clay give me the rest of your pacamat sure and here's a souvenir they're all done what's all done that we already fixed everything and what did you fix it with modeling clay huddling clay isn't gonna hold anything well I say it will wanna bet all right [Music] what in the world is happening here flooding water you just do as I tell you without panicking [Music] oh it's possible to make modeling play in your own home just write down this recipe you'll need a cup of flour a half a cup of salt and a half a cup of water now mix the salt with the flour and add the water little by little mix it together really well what are you saying then it looks just like dough well that's exactly what it is it's just not for eating it's way too salty but you certainly can sculpt things out of it if you want your modeling clay to be colorful you can add food coloring or watercolors to it that's it your modeling clay is ready to be sculpted when you're finished don't forget to let your figures dry in the Sun that way they'll get nice and hard and last you a very long time foreign we almost didn't make it and did you fix the lamp without modeling uh-huh and the hook too that was not a good idea but it was really quick hey that's true that's why I want to give a medal to you your Heroes for real of course you are and here it is your medal but it's made out of modeling clay your reward fits your heroic deed the chain reaction [Music] Tom Thomas what you doing knowledge leave me alone no really what is that quit distracting me will you [Music] No Lick look at what you've done I it's all because you wouldn't quit it will you quit what I was struggling with that thing for half an hour and you ruined it whoa [Music] hey Tom Thomas can you hear me Tom Thomas let me out no look is that you banging yeah and how did you end up in there none of your business why are you so rude to me cause I feel like it oh yeah enjoy sitting there well who needs you goodbye foreign [Music] to you did you bang yourself and so what does it hurt leave me alone Tula you always have to be fussing over everybody come on why aren't you so angry huh no look was rude to me that means you have to be rude to me forgive me tula and where is no oh there let's go see him no Lake it's Tula are you all right I'm fine why were you so rude with your sister cause Tom Thomas was rude with me I get it it's a chain reaction a what putting a log on fire isn't easy but it's easy to light a match use the match to light kindling the kindling delayed a twig and The Twig to light the log have you ever seen a fire grow it's an example of a typical Chain Reaction so be extra careful with fire because just one match or little piece of smoldering coal can lead to a huge disaster yes they can make a whole Forest first into flame and burn down to the ground and all because of a simple chain reaction I don't get you one chain reaction what do you mean what do you know like Tom Thomas was rude to you then you were rude to Simca then Simka was rude with me so there it is a chain reaction yeah and the rudeness was like a little spark it just spread and spread and spread like a forest fire will you forgive me Asoka yeah all right I've got an idea why don't we try starting our very own Chain Reaction the other way around what do you mean well instead of spreading angry and rude feelings we could spread penis but how it's simple all we need to do is smile and say nice things to each other what a great idea we could work together and fix Tom Thomas's mood and I know how come help me pick up this Domino will you everything in the whole universe is made up of atoms particles so extremely small that you can't even see them through a microscope but when a tiny atom splits it makes a tiny explosion and that explosion can start another explosion and another explosion to add another and now you've got a chain reaction and that's how a lot of tiny explosions work together to make the gigantic explosion of an atomic bomb the deadliest weapon known to man but atomic energy can also be used for peaceful purposes for example nuclear power plants use this energy to produce electricity in hot water and nuclear-powered ice breakers can break through the thick arctic ice so ships can Sail on their way they are all done no look bring them in and now we're gonna teach Tom Thomas how a chain reaction can work to make you feel really good he's coming on your marks now what's going on no really Tom [Music] Tom foreign [Music] [Applause] that was so totally awesome I can't believe what I saw how did you do that it was just a real a chain reaction what a chain reaction [Music] the globe ready Set Go [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 [Music] give me that piece of rope there would you now you can't throw me off speed [Music] go on whoa [Music] oh [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 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 it's pulled 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 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 were 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 because no girls learning it but the Earth's 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] foreign watch this our Sun's here and you're over there on Earth is it dark nolic it's dark then it's night time on your side and here it's day all right now we'll turn the Earth hooray now it's daytime for me and night for me over here look 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] nolik nolik where are you I'm not sure somewhere in Kazakhstan gravity is super strong around here so go on you're gonna fall off nolik don't worry just do it do it go ahead and tilt it if you feel like it it's gonna fall off this globe that's strange Nolan come on over here four 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 what [Music] I never would have thunk it but the pull of chewing gum is even stronger than the Earth's gravity the camera [Music] stop right there and let me see how pretty you look today well just don't tell that to the elevator bye bye check it out nolik class huh [Music] I'm gonna get in trouble for doing that uh no my dad gave me permission to take a few pictures with this camera no I mean the picture you're sure that your mom and dad will like that you took it without asking for permission but look what a good picture you know what Tom Thomas you're like a regular Paparazzi or something paparazzi they're the ones that take one photo and get millions aren't they you're right and don't care about anyone except their photo paparazzis ever wonder how a photo camera works let's say you want to take a picture of nature the light that's outside goes into the camera's lens that's the glass eye on the front of the camera the lens takes the light from the scene outside the camera and turns it into a tiny picture that's inside the camera then the picture is recorded onto a special electronic sensor called a matrix that's sensitive to light click and there's your photo [Music] what a great idea now I know I'm going to be a Paparazzi hey what about your promise what promise to never take a picture of us we're a secret stop hey relax I'll delete them all later [Music] Tom Thomas stop this right now I won't until I get a photo of you no look let's run you can't run from me [Music] [Music] gotcha the story of the century the monster and its prey [Music] help no he won't help cause he's a paparazzi [Music] yes I got it that's my best photo yet [Music] what's all this noise about awesome shot the first cameras were invented almost 200 years ago but they worked very slowly if you wanted to have your portrait taken you'd have to sit still for a whole hour after film was invented cameras got much faster and it became possible to take about 10 pictures a minute on a piece of film everything appears to be backwards black parts of the picture are white and the white is black it doesn't look normal until the picture is transferred from the film to a piece of photographic paper now people shoot pictures with digital cameras that work without any film at all you can look at what you shot instantly on a screen to see if you like it and if you don't like it you can try shooting another one and today you don't even need a separate camera to take pictures almost every mobile phone has one [Music] are you in there hey come out I'll stop shooting photos of you aren't we friends I'm sorry guys well your friends were almost eaten alive by a dog please forgive me wanna look at the photos I took sure go on show us what you got we're not in that shot we're not there either well done there Paparazzi hang on a sec I still got another one and you're in it I know for sure look I'm zooming in it's impossible I don't believe it it's possible but when did you have time to turn into screws the same time you were pushing the button when we're scared we can change faster than the blink of an eye you lost Papa Roxy and what are you gonna do with your Millions Mr Paparazzi uh would you please stop calling me that you got it after every one of those photos is thrown away all right I'll delete them and do I have to delete this one too no keep it it's a great shot I never even saw you take it [Music] the talking doll now [Music] man now you know what you need to do to fix it professor Professor our lesson is over I'm sorry to be a bother no problem Professor eugenius our lesson's over I got an urgent matter you see you've got yourself a talking dog yes only she speaks Japanese the problem is I've been asked to get her to talk in English we can teach her it's a new technology I'm puzzled don't you worry we'll figure it out professor thank you my colleague you're always there when I need it what would I do without you [Music] professor can you tell us how toys not now children we'll learn about the doll tomorrow now it's time to go home [Music] I already know everything about that doll you do changing your voice is so easy that anyone can do it how here come I'll show you foreign [Music] talking dolls used to work with a noise maker inside when the doll was turned over air inside the noise Baker got pushed through a squeaker at the end of it making a noise that sounded like the word mama funny today the noises are recorded onto an electronic ship that's part of a little player inside of the doll just press a button and the sounds start playing so now dolls can say much more than just mommy or daddy they can say anything at all thank you well here's the chip this is where the recording of the doll's voices that's awesome can you re-record the voice on there well yeah okay I gotta go see ya wait no like I thought of a really funny joke to pull what if we saw something [Music] well now as I promised yesterday I'm going to tell you all about talking dolls some start talking when you rock them While others react to noise and for this little lady you need to press a button to get her to talk who wants to Tula me well okay I can do it go ahead and you'll hear her say hi there Mama but in Japanese for now foreign [Applause] [Music] [Music] what [Music] Tula don't cry she's not alive she is alive I'll tell you who did this horrible thing it was fire and Nolan it's true but now the joke will be on death how it's easy [Music] smart is fixie in our class is digit sometimes I think that he knows everything about everything Professor grandpa has a lot of respect for him digits always in thought whenever you see him and he doesn't like when anyone distracts him he has no time for fooling around with the other boys [Music] solve problems using his brains and not his muscles that's why he can have a tough time in gym class but he's so sweet that he makes you want to help him to tell you the truth digit isn't always great fixing things with his own hands but no one understands technology better than he does if something breaks digit can always figure out exactly what's wrong with it and the very best way to fix it foreign [Music] [Music] they probably thought that the dog came to life you know what digit I just started thinking that it it might be better if she were alive you know Tula you sure are hard to please the barcode [Music] so what do we do if we happen to see humans from them right and what if you've got nowhere to hide then we turned ourselves into screws that's correct where could it be uh where on Earth could I have put it at her brain ah for you genius there's no need to hide from him he's our friend where has it gone ah did you lose something again professor yeah how did you guess it's just awful yesterday I started testing a new Iron and today it's totally disappeared Into Thin Air where could you have put that thing um I've got it down to two places it could be in the warehouse or not in the warehouse yeah that information will help us find it or not help us find it class follow me to the warehouse [Music] wow wow look at all these boxes if we have to look inside each one of them it'll take us two days maybe we'll get lucky let's look in this one no inside there is a fan a fan all right wow it's a fan hmm and and this one a mixture yeah amazing and what's in this box an electric kettle made in Germany by the way he's right there is a kettle in there Professor is this some trick I don't get it friend who's how you do it It's gotta be magic what else here's how I think he's doing it I think the professor has glasses made to see through the boxes of course not I only know how to read the barcode that you can see on each of those boxes oh that exactly if you look at the printing on packages and boxes you will often find a symbol with a lot of black lines and numbers these symbols are called barcodes each barcode has all sorts of information what the item is what country it came from and even in which Factory it was made with the help of a special reading device a scanner it's possible to read all the information the barcode holds it really is an excellent system for stores to know what they've got [Music] you don't even need a scanner to do it I can figure out barcodes without one I'll teach you if you want class let's see we're looking for my box with an iron well bring in the professor [Music] today on almost everything that is sold there is some kind of Mark for instance this kind of Mark is called a barcode and this one a QR code these marks help us find out a lot of information suppose you walk by a building and see a QR code on it just point the camera on your mobile phone at it and information about who built it and when it was built will appear on the screen isn't that great it's a shame not every phone can do this yet and that's not all there are also marks that work without pictures there are electronic chips that can hold information these chips can be put inside of ID cards or travel passes and all you need to do is press the card near a reader so it can check if you're allowed to go on through ah you just made my day you found it so quickly what would I do without you huh is something wrong this is not an iron whose sandwich is that mine yesterday I wanted to put it into the fridge only I guess I put it into my oh I just get distracted so easily look we need to think this through logically if you went and placed your sandwich into the box where the iron should have gone then you must have put your iron in the refrigerator later [Music] oh here you are here you are my new iron oh I looked everywhere for you thank you my friends once again there's no need to thank us at all you're always there when we need help you've even let us open our own School here in your laboratory and we don't have to hide ourselves yeah that's because you're so kind and you love fixies the prosthesis over here take a look at what I found hey it's a bear oh what bear did you find no like you know it's the one so when will this about he was his best friend in the whole wide world until he became friends with you and me let's try to wind him up [Music] come on come on come on there you go now look Teddy come on Teddy yeah oh oh no poor little teddy bear they ripped his leg and didn't care we didn't rip his leg it was already broken it's all clear a compound fracture then why don't we fix him Tom wait a parrot we'll need a prosthesis the human body is built around a frame of bones and joints and if you break one of the bones it'll usually heal by itself the broken bone will grow back together and you'll be back to normal but sometimes bones or joints can break so badly that it's impossible for them to heal when this happens they have to be replaced with an artificial part called a prosthesis a prosthesis can replace more than a bone or a joint it can be made to replace a whole arm or leg [Music] and where are we gonna get a prosthesis I'm I'm positive we can get it from Professor eugenius you're right [Music] genius ah I'm pleased to see you dear children how do you do hi there Professor eugenius can you make a prosthesis what have you broken something uh no not us it was the bear he broke his leg what bear the teddy bear that used to be Tom Thomas's friend ah now I see [Music] with the help of modern Prosthetics more is being replaced than just arms and legs for example if you lose a tooth it can be replaced with an artificial one that's also a prosthesis and there are times when a person starts losing their Vision because the lens in their eye gets foggy and can't focus for this there's another kind of prosthesis a new clear artificial lens a prosthesis can also be used to help people with poor hearing a tiny device can be put inside of somebody's ears so they can hear what's going on and that's not all people have also learned how to treat a sick Heart by replacing its worn out Parts with prosthesis what fantastic inventions these prostheses are it's amazing what they can do they help people live a full life Professor is it working out we'll know soon enough [Music] done here you go thanks so much for your help professor eugenius not at all take care kids [Music] fickle they need a loyal friend that morning noon at midnight of every single day when there is an emergency you know we're on our way one two three [Music] well now this old friend of Tom Thomas's will be just like new nolik if Tom Thomas makes friends with the bear then what will he stop being friends with us hi everybody hi there oh my teddy bear you found him for me and you fixed him oh thanks a lot [Music] yeah it's just like grandpa said a friend that's old is better than two that are new who's new and who's old well the bear is old and we're new no look it's not true you're the fixies guys you're my very very best friends in the whole wide world peace the drum now let's turn it on it's buzzing you hear it I would love to but the only thing I can hear is no expanding no like what are you doing I'm rehearsing my solo no Lex the drummer and I rock band didn't you know that why don't you go and rehearse somewhere else if you wouldn't mind yeah all right can't work like this no like stop it please please Professor eugenius will you come to the laboratory there's something very strange in there what I'm hearing some kind of awful sounds you are I think it's a ghost back from the dead don't you worry about ghosts Lisa I'll check what it is hmm so it's you making the racket I'm just rehearsing well what is it don't worry it's just a piece of equipment rattling you know what you should do you should go and practice back at home my young friend [Music] very hard to make a drum one way to make it is to take an empty barrel and replace its bottom with a skin made of leather or plastic if the skin is stretched tightly the sound can get very bright and Loud really big drums are usually played with percussion mallets or beaters while smaller drums can be played with sticks or with bare hands in instruments that makes Sounds by being shaken scraped or beaten are all called percussion instruments there are lots of different percussion instruments like the small hand drums that are called Bongos big shakers with handles called Maracas symbols made out of metal now those really make a lot of noise and there's tambourines ratchets and even spoons that's right people can make music using spoons as a percussion instrument okay Tom Thomas do you think I could practice my drumming here yeah go ahead I've just got some homework to do I can do that and better than you can too and what if I play like this huh then I'll go like that or like that [Music] ever since I decided [Music] baby [Music] [Music] both my father and my mother wish I play a violin instead I don't want to I'm a drummer but I can't drum that in their heads [Music] baby baby about me baby drunk but I'm not done keep going nolik this is fun [Music] and now let's turn it off can you hear that it stopped buzzing it did hey everybody it's nolik yo what's up so our noisy ghost is back I thought you were practicing at home now Tom Thomas is drumming there I had to run away well our Excursion is over and now I would just be so happy to listen to your rock group hooray come on not so loud [Music] I beg you not that loud please tubes today's lesson will be on pipes and tubing right here inside of this laboratory you can see them all over look over there and there some more over there and there's another one so who can tell me some different uses for tubes they're used in plumbing tick in the water no like in school we don't give an answer without being called on together waste I am talking to digit now gas goes through pipes too stop interrupting us and don't forget about smoking a smokestack no like that's just rude Behavior out right now [Music] all right and a shower hose that's also a tube right I told you to get out yikes and the vacuum cleaner's got one too huh and the spy glasses that pirates use when they're sailing hey what do you say we all go and sneak out of here great idea let them call out to himself and the Trump is a tube that you blow through [Music] nolik is my younger brother there's a lot he still doesn't know but that doesn't stop him from getting involved in things he probably shouldn't unfortunately that can get him into trouble so every once in a while me or my parents have to rescue him no I wouldn't call no like a pest he's just a curious that's why he broke the number one fixie rule hide from humans Nola's the one who first became friends with Tom Thomas well I was there too but nolik started it actually first it was grandpuss many years ago he befriended professor eugenius and after that the professor let us have our school in his laboratory so it turns out that Nola is just like his grandfather [Music] thank you did you go on then tubes are wow just just look at all the tubes in here [Music] number one see glass ones that are curvy oh yeah pens parts of them are tubes too um he stopped talking he ran out of ideas who slides at the water park a barrel of a rifle and the shell of a bullet those are tubes oh there's a tube with a serious crap and it's also dripping and hissing it's dripping well how can I show you when you kick me out of class what's going on take a look that tube up there is leaking that's acid dripping out is that dangerous it's awful any second now it'll explode oh where did Professor eugenius go he went to eat a sandwich so we do it's a disaster Don't Panic fire Verda go to that hose and shut off that valve zimka go get a pack of mouth we'll fix this pipe ourselves it's very important to be sure that a pipe won't leak but making pipes that won't leak isn't so easy pipes can be made by rolling up a sheet of metal and sealing it up unfortunately the seam can break and that's why people have figured out how to make pipes without seams they do it by stretching out hot metal on special machines and PVC pipes are squeezed out of hot plastic like pasta when the plastic is cooled down it hardens into a pipe we fix it just in time know it way to go there hey Simca where is he don't know he finally left here I am knowledge I want to thank you for being alert and I'd like you to join our class today fish only don't forget in my class students cannot answer unless they're called on now then send tubing digit please continue well but no like said all of them already and some noodles or tubes made out of dough and what's it called uh that thing a hole in a mountain wait a second I'll get it a volcano that's not it they go this way I mean the kind that go like that they're tunnels you got it well done there yeah [Music] quiet down get ready for your lesson be quiet quiet down please oh it's so hot here in today's class we'll learn about oh huh it must have been an earthquake yeah it was an earthquake hooray sorry there Professor oh I have to find an outlet so I can plug in this van oh it feels terribly hot it sure does well keep looking you'll find one now then where was I all right today oh no no it's impossible in this whole laboratory there isn't one free outlet look at this just pull out one of these wires and then you'll have a free Outlet I can't I fear I could pull out a plug for something important ah Vault himself would get all tangled up in these wires don't worry about it Professor eugenius we'll find a free outlet for you that's right my colleague a cup of tea will do you good so just go relax thank you my colleague and as always I'm eternally grateful fixies have opened schools for their children in all sorts of different places like factories stores and warehouses anywhere where there's lots of machines and appliances and places to hide from humans and this is where we hold our school right here inside the laboratory of Professor eugenius it's a fantastic place for me to hold class every day new devices materials toys and even food are brought here for examination and there are lots of scientific devices and tools to study here as well but most importantly we never need to hide from the head of the laboratory because my colleague Professor eugenius is someone I'm proud to call a friend he loves fixies helps us anytime we need and will never let our secret out [Music] what should we do first we have to start out with pulling apart these wires that'll take a second over here I know here no like come help let's do this [Music] come on come on come on come on come on just one more time stop it I can't get out loosen the wires we need to pull out this come on [Music] this nonsense will ya [Music] thank you digit tiddish well the way I see it in order to get the knot out that's over here we need to expand the loop that's over there and then push that wire through it and then do it again from the other end that's it very good girls hey pull it hard perfect [Music] oh okay check it out this green wire up here isn't plugged into anything then no one's using it so that means we should go and pull it out from the outlet good [Music] [Music] here's another wire that isn't plugged in I found another wire no one's using oh I mean thinking I found it together [Music] why are you so upset because you guys are doing all the work how about this fire nobody's checked it yet really [Music] oh wow what did you find some treasure nolik uh-huh there are six free Outlets under here great now Professor eugenius can plug in his fan and his Kettle and even his soldering iron electricity to a device that doesn't use batteries you need to plug a pair of wires into an outlet but it's important not to let the wires touch one another or the electricity can burn them out that's why wires are covered in plastic or rubber so the electricity won't pass from one wire to the other or to us when we touch them so always be very careful with wires and never ever touch a bare wire you could get killed by the electric shock oh what would I do without my wonderful friends thank you ah sorry I just I didn't I wanted to I should go go ahead that's a great idea and we'll start our class uh what were we talking about all about wires well it looks like our class is over we go play the kaleidoscope [Music] when are you gonna give me a Pikachu new ball I just can't wait I told you you can see it as soon as I hang it up you're not peeking are you no I'm not oh so can I look at it now sure take a look which one this one you broke it it's okay don't be sad [Music] I know what to do [Music] Tom Thomas look inside the Kaleidoscope what for I looked already come on there's something in or you've never seen whoa cool isn't it what is it it's my own invention a pirate Kaleidoscope glass right uh-huh it's great I really like it Tom Thomas hi there I heard that you got a pretty ball to hang on the tree can I see it it's right there where there oh oh that's just terrible why'd you do that Simca come on now I just cheered him up how tell me what's the Kaleidoscope remember what Grandpa's taught us do you know what makes a kaleidoscope have such beautiful patterns ah it's because pieces of multi-colored glass are tumbling around in there and it's also because it has Mirrors inside usually there are three of them and they are arranged facing each other that way each piece of glass makes many many Reflections that create the kaleidoscope's beautiful symmetrical patterns away you can put just about anything you want inside a kaleidoscope and each different thing makes its own special pattern yes there are all kinds of kaleidoscopes some with buttons inside some with flowers and even some that are filled with insects once a very rich man had a kaleidoscope made with precious stones inside yeah it probably wouldn't have been nearly as beautiful if he had just filled it up with money [Music] Tom Thomas look inside the Kaleidoscope I already saw it it's Pirates what about pirate we changed it go on look and see wow you like it a lot hey what did you put in there a few pieces of the bowl that you smashed it's even better for Christmas isn't it [Music] oh that didn't work at all Merry Christmas we can't take a look at that Splendid new Christmas oh what's wrong don't even ask us that I've got it [Music] Tom Thomas what look inside the Kaleidoscope again I don't want to and I'm telling you you've got to fine cool yeah thanks so much now don't you feel good again yeah it's really something and you're the first human in the [Music] man trees [Music] magical flowers just blowing with light petals that glisten and green [Music] let's go [Music] trees [Music] hi everybody Tom Thomas I came to look for myself at that beautiful Christmas it's okay what's more important having such awesome friends or some ball hanging from a tree [Music] the armor ready or not here we come I heard him he ran into the hallway [Music] the kitchen no look and I'll check the living room [Music] well I just don't get it where could he be hiding the office we forgot to check in there [Music] there's nowhere in here for him to hide inside the shark [Music] no like Tom Thomas couldn't even fit half of himself inside of that shark yeah then in that huge vase uh-huh he's all scrunched up in there and laughing at us oh there did you hear that he's in there there's no one but I know that I heard a hehe you imagined it let's go take a look in the bathroom I imagined it it's so stuffy inside this armor [Music] the arms got stuck [Music] where else could he be because the night begins to life well how much longer are you gonna look for me [Music] Arbor is very hard clothing board by Warriors to protect them against swords and arrows people started making armor in ancient times but the full body armor that Knights wore didn't start until the Middle Ages the armor worn by Knights on horses was Heavy it could weigh a hundred pounds and if a knight got knocked off of his horse he'd need help to get back up again by the way the knights horses they wore their own heavy set of armor for protection hey did you turn into statues Tom Thomas is that you in there who else lift up his visor I can barely breathe and how come we should do it cause I can't don't you see my arms got stuck we see you look funny funny to you but now I'm stuck and I can't get out of here come on help me out please oh great two soccer's just what we need right now shusaka what's wrong with you it's me hey stop it all right [Music] help I can't get up come on let's undo the latches now look quickly [Music] thanks for helping me it was nothing I couldn't have done it without you tonight back together uh-huh before Dad gets back protective clothing isn't just for people who are fighting in battles Travelers put on special Nets to protect themselves against mosquitoes and gnats and beekeepers wear protective clothes too if they had nothing to protect them from bee stings their job would be quite painful without their protective clothing it would be impossible for firefighters to go into burning buildings and save people and how could astronauts go into outer space without special clothing it's freezing up there and there's no air to breathe at all and that's why they wear a special costume called a spacesuit when they travel the spacesuit not only protects astronauts from the cold but supplies them with air so they can breathe by the way the fixies also wear protective clothing so they can stay safe while they work well there did we get it right it looks like we got it right only where's the helmet Nola went to get it you Saka War Horse calm yourself down there we go it's all back in place again too bad that's your knight looks like a ballerina twirling around you see his arm ah I can't move it it's stuck here's what we'll do give him something to hold [Music] well how's that look perfect now we can paddle into battle the clocks go around left side that's crazy you'll crash no I won't [Music] [Applause] see I told you what huh nothing now you talk with your computer like it's your friend listen that's enough playing for today oh Mom just a little more I'll give you half an hour while I cook dinner and that'll be enough for today with a computer uh ah this stinks I'll never get through all of these levels in half an hour no way hey but what if we could stretch out the half hour how will you take the hands on the clock and move them back a little mom will catch us flying then let's slow down the speed of the clock yeah but wow she gotta knows things like that the olden times many clocks run with the help of a pendulum the pendulum controls how fast the hands of the clock turn if you make it longer the pendulum will start to swing slower and the clock's hands will slow down if you make the pendulum shorter the clock will tick faster most clocks that are made today don't use pendulums they run with the help of Springs or with an electronic chip instead but even so there are ways to change the speed of these clocks too foreign [Music] wow you did it it's amazing how much slower it is that'll give you lots of time to play but now you gotta slow down the clocks in the kitchen yeah and every other clock you got um [Music] I just have to turn this to make the pendulum longer uh-huh and now the clock will go slower [Music] over there let's go do it we slowed down every clock and your mom didn't see a thing that's great yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah [Applause] I'm tired [Music] amazing he got another one awesome you're unbelievable way to go huh that's strange hooray incredible yay I did every level oh thanks you're both just the time Masters of the Universe yeah but I'm getting really hungry and mom hasn't called me for dinner because a half hour hasn't passed on the clock hey do you smell that something is burning what happened a fire I don't get it I was just waiting for 30 minutes like I always do but everything burned this time maybe the clock stopped no take a look they're working oh I'll make you some oatmeal oatmeal for dinner Mom I need to uh I'll be right back see what you've done Time Masters of the Universe you gotta go speed those clocks back up okay okay we'll speed them up they'll be caught up in no time come up with lots of different ways to measure time for example if you stand a stick in the ground you can measure the time of day by watching where it's Shadow Falls that's a very simple clock called a sundial another simple and ancient clock is a water clock it keeps track of time by measuring how much water has poured out of it and if the clock uses sand instead of water it's called an hourglass but humans weren't able to accurately keep track of the time until they invented mechanical clocks they come in all sorts of sizes from grandfather clocks to watch us Ward around the wrist today we also have easy to read and accurate electronic watches and clocks but the most accurate clock of them all is the atomic clock it tells the entire world the exact time foreign [Applause] [Music] Thomas why is your alarm clock ringing in the middle of the night huh really is it still night out look Tom Thomas uh but the clock says that it's morning interesting yes yesterday fire and I sped up all the clocks so that's the reason the alarm went off Thomas asked us so what do we have to do now don't you know get to school oh I'm joking go back to sleep don't worry I'll get all the clocks working right again can I go and fix them with you fix them you boys are the ones that always make the problems GPS [Music] and three four stop who goes next I'm next five one two three three and wait I gotta choose a root should I go here or there choose already no look what are you doing over there nothing at all just waiting at my place good and don't get off it well fire what was that the alarm on my fixie tab oh our lesson's about to start hurry what about the game later [Music] as soon as young fixies enter their first year of fixie School everyone gets their own fixie time it's a little computer that can do anything at all well almost anything at all studying with a fixie tap is fantastic you can read it just like a book and write it just like writing in a notebook you can use a fixie tab to listen to music watch movies find your way around and talk text and send letters to your friends and if you want you can use a fixie tab to go on to the internet that humans use or you can visit the secret fixie internet where you can find news about the world of the fixies and fixie tabs have games on them too of course these games can be a lot of fun but you shouldn't play games until your homework is all done [Music] [Music] I know a shortcut we can use this way [Music] now which way do we go I need to remember the route I think it's this way or it could be that way well which is it this or that I have no clue uh-huh so what's our plan we'll go back and start again we flew in from there right no I think it was there that's not how we flew in it was there ah I think we're lost in here oh no like stop the panicking I only went uh oh I'm not panicking yet it's your fault fire I know a shortcut go this way how are we gonna get out of here I know all I know is that we're late for our lesson thanks to someone it wasn't on purpose I swear now Grandpa's will punish us what's going on well I think I found a way to get out which way right here I tab is a cheap GPS uh what's a navigator [Music] a GPS navigator is an interactive electronic map that can help you find your way around the Navigator can figure out where you are by using signals that are sent to it from satellites all you have to do is type the address of the place you want to go into it and figure out a route to get you there and then it helps you as you go by telling you where and when you need to turn so you can easily get to your destination [Music] right now we're here and where do we need to go you know where to school but where is that are you joking in the laboratory of Professor eugenius can you be quiet where do you want to go the laboratory of Professor eugenius please wait while I chart out the route it did it the navigator says to go there over there come on [Music] and if you happen to go off right the Navigator will give you a different way to well you finally made it unfortunately you missed an important lesson today we got lost forgive us you're wondering we were studying Navigators and you know what we just used a navigator to get here yeah it showed us the way we had to go well that's certainly quite lucky for you because now you don't get an F but from now on kids you have to get here on time I promise you that cause now we know where to get our shortcuts from the manipulator [Music] well what do you say Professor it couldn't be any more accurate our manipulator works just perfectly good so that means that we're free to go great see you later all right finally now it's our turn to experiment with that manipulator hey do you know how to operate this manipulator why do you think we were spying a manipulator is a kind of mechanical arm that people use for difficult or dangerous work to control a manipulator humans use a remote control or a joystick the operator gives the command and the mechanical arm grabs and moves the load some robotic manipulators don't even need to be steered by an operator they're controlled by computers and can work without people being there at all even on the moon [Music] what is this button for uh-huh how about this one [Music] would you like to take a ride right now huh you're scared scared not one bit off we go you're cool well hang on this is gonna get even awesomer professor foreign [Music] strange what made this ladder just fall over am I crazy or is someone here oh calm down calm down now for Elisa yeah you're completely overworked whoa who's here hang in there no like I'll get you out of there foreign oh dear what's going on stop this nonsense right now or I'll call the police on you I don't believe in ghosts I don't believe in ghosts I don't believe in where are you pulling me I'm going to faint I'm warning you that's all goodbye throughout the world humans use manipulators for all sorts of work in factories manipulators are used to lift and move heavy loads they can also hand out the parts needed for assembly or even attach these parts themselves in hospitals more precise manipulators are used by doctors to help perform operations manipulators are also used in places where the work is simply too dangerous for people for instance where there are deadly chemicals or places where humans can't get too easily like somewhere underground where there isn't enough space to move or deep under the water or an outer space where there's absolutely no air to breathe so you see mechanical arms are helpful in all sorts of places where humans are unable to reach things with their own arms [Music] oh I got it [Music] yes who's there [Music] ah what's going on No No Lick what are you doing in there we just took a little test flight is this yours [Music] Professor eugenius I was attacked by a crazy arm the manipulator it's your imagination look stop stop I'm telling you professor eugenius you heard what you just said down it's okay it was a little malfunction but I took care of it you are just astounding and don't think that I'm through with you with me with you no no with the manipulator let's go Elisa yeah let's go Professor reach up fire and why fire the oven now here he is our justifying acrobat click don't I'm not knowing I'm an acrobat you're going to fall I'm not going to I say every single time with them it's the same old story he gets himself into trouble and I've gotta get him out of here hold on I'm just joking no look you're a knucklehead we're down here look who's in trouble this time this isn't funny at all need some help we can manage this ourselves right well all right then see you later we gotta get out of here sometimes his mom is coming right [Music] okay [Music] hi John Thomas hi nolik are you up for a ride cause this Train's leaving the station [Music] nice place it's the oven it's beautiful in here and not hot at all Splendid it isn't hot right now because it only started warming up an oven is a cabinet with a heater it can get so hot inside that it'll roast whatever is in there as a matter of fact that's what ovens are for people roast meat inside of them and bake things too some ovens burn gas for heat and others use electricity they have special electric coils that get red hot and heat everything that's inside the oven so be careful around ovens a hot oven can burn you very badly foreign it really is getting so hot we got it got an oven right away [Music] we're about to get roasted in here yeah inside of a fresh baked fixie cake I don't want to you think I do [Music] here grab on top [Music] this way [Music] be careful and you'll fall off ah you're just like Simca she told me the same thing and then she was the one who fell right into the batter together with Tula what they both fell in the dough oh yeah and they're probably still stuck in there too Tom Thomas the Cake's fresh out of the oven do you want to try some where could they be huh I don't know maybe they're inside the cake they could have turned into screws we gotta find them hey what are you doing eat stop playing hey watch out you could break your teeth the first ovens in ancient homes were nothing more than simple fire pits where people cooked on hot coals later on the stove was invented every house had a stove made out of stone clay or cast iron people would burn wood or coal in them stoves produced enough heat to make soup or bake a cake and then in the 19th century the gas stove was invented gestos are much more practical than wood burning stoves one second and the gas is burning a few more minutes and the water's boiling they're very convenient but they can also be dangerous because if the pipes aren't in good condition there can be an explosion today there are also stoves and Ovens that run with electricity they use electric heating elements for frying boiling or baking foods without fire at all [Music] Tom Thomas I think you'll explode but it's so incredibly good I just can't stop eating it hmm keep chewing Tom Thomas that's as much as I can chew you guys have too ah up two we're trying to save you you're not in the cake then how come I was eating all of this I hate cake um maybe it's because that's what good friends do yeah he's a good friend who's got a really good appetite reflexes [Music] add this to that now what do you get ah three don't you remember bark bark bark all you have to do is bark three times that's too hard a trick for two Saka maybe you could teach her to jump through a hoop I already tried she just sits there come on chusaka give it a try [Music] try showing her this sugar Ellie come on jump Thomas it's time for us to go to school see you later animal tamer great job chusaka [Music] our lesson for today is on the subject of reflexes we'll write it here for you R what's the lesson someone's late again ah colleague my glasses are gone are they here they're right there on your forehead how about that forgive me for interrupting let's continue our class and so thanks so much so you turned into screws again does anyone know why that is because we have to hide ourselves from humans but you don't have to hide yourself from Professor eugenius but we didn't know it was him at the door all right you are you had already transformed before you had time to think and that's what we call a reflex to explain it in simple words a reflex is when our body reacts to something automatically without needing any time at all to think about it When We Touch something very hot we instantly jerk our hand back when we're about to fall we swing our arms and legs to try to keep our balance and just imagine what would happen if we started thinking how and in which direction to move them so it's fair to say that our reflexes help to protect us [Music] no kidding they protect us my nose itches excuse me I didn't mean it Professor uh sneeze is that also a reflex it most certainly is one fire didn't want to but then his nose tickled and achoo bless you too thank you and uh do dogs also have uh reflexes of course dogs have reflexes all animals do yeah it's something all good animal trainers know they use the animal's reflexes to teach them tricks [Music] lots of commands like to bring a ball to count or even to dance but to train a pet you gotta know what to do a good trainer always has plenty of treats handy as soon as an animal follows a command correctly like standing on its hind legs or jumping over a hurdle the animal gets a treat and then the trainer makes a unique signal right away like clicking his fingers or blowing a whistle after repeating this training over and over the animal develops her reflex once it gets the signal it carries out the command and then gets a treat but the most important thing about animal training is to love your trainee and never hurt it otherwise no treat will work Tom Thomas we just learned in Dixie School how you can train tusaka yeah with the help of reflexes with what where's chusaka call her she's Saka come here give her a math problem a nice simple one [Music] oh what do you get it's a miracle three you got it no it's not a miracle science is what it is you know how to Sock a box whenever she sees a fixie around that's what we call a reflex you know I understand and do you know how I can teach her jumping well we didn't figure that out yet wait a sec I know how chasing fixies isn't that one of two saka's reflexes probably although great so let's go and train the dog nothing's ever too much for a good friend choosaka [Music] it's pretty tough work being a dog trainer [Music] the dog it's about me [Music] it sounds like she's angry with us I wish I knew what that mad dog was thinking about been thinking about you I'm leaving see you later choosaka I have no time to play right now Tom Thomas I'm off don't be late shusaka that's enough no I need to go to school today and he's leaving his math book trying to serve like a good dog but no one understands me dogs have been serving people since ancient times along with cows horses chickens and other domestic animals but of all of these animals the dog was the very first the beginning domesticated dogs looked like wolves over time they started changing and were developed into dogs of many different breeds from Big Shepherds to tiny chihuahuas so a dog is not only a human's best friend but his very first friend as well foreign [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] oh no something must have broken in there are we going to fix it kids should never touch outlets and you know it too it's forbidden then how do we fix it go find Papa's and I'll stay here and wait for you but where's papa where he is barking about but I think tusaka wants to help us then come on you Saga help us [Music] [Music] Nolan is that you there's an outlet sparking over there and it smells like it's burning are you sure yeah chusaka found it really great job friends there are many kinds of service dogs dogs that help people by carrying out a wide variety of different jobs like protecting a house or a flock of sheep if the dogs are Shepherds some working dogs help guards protect their borders While others work for the police there are sled dogs that transport people and loads in the north where there's only snow and no roads some service dogs help blind people by helping them get to the places they need to go and there are dogs that save people trapped on mountains and that's not all dogs went up into space before humans but don't think that dogs are just given these jobs oh no like humans dogs study for a long time before they're allowed to take on serious work yeah that's all there won't be a fire not today [Music] you're a real service dog no doubt about it [Music] go away I've had enough of you already today don't say that because this working dog just saved your house from burning down what do you mean she smelled smoke coming from the outlet it could be that chusaka means well and wants to do the right thing but nobody else what that's a bit hard to believe then what's this book oh my math book that's where I left it remember how tusaka wanted to make you take it to school this morning you're right I had a girl chew soccer well done what a rain my feet got wet to the Bone but this morning chusaka tried to get you to wear a different pair of shoes hmm that's something I should listen more closely to this smart little dog of ours [Music] they understand me the video call [Applause] turn on the camera right away it's me Simca [Music] just as I expected no look why aren't you in school school it started no but you'll be late if you don't hurry I'm on my way Simka is that really your fixie school um well actually it's the laboratory where Professor eugenius works at he lets us have our school here who's that simple look is that the professor oh come on Tom Thomas that's the manipulator who not who what it's a mechanical arm for real oh please show me some of the other things you've got but how can I show you come on with the camera computers and tablets are able to connect with one another through the internet that's why you can talk to another person on your computer like you're talking on the phone and if the computer has a video camera then it's possible to send not only sound through the internet but video as well that's why it's called a video call with video calls it's possible to talk to your friends to see them and to show them all the things you can see yourself foreign [Music] and over here hey Tom Thomas it's good to see you wow you flew there so fast no like get out of the way you're blocking the view of the lab I am not blocking a view Stop It Go you go away Tom Thomas what are you watching uh is it time to turn into screws too late he already spotted us it's just a cartoon about these funny little guys can I watch with you nah it's boring dad and I've already seen it next that blue guy he starts jumping watch now what I see Run start jumping make it cartoony [Music] now that red-headed character will sing watch then she starts dancing [Music] these guys really are funny and hear the super fast moves [Applause] that was funny I gotta get going that's all you can rest my dad went out [Music] I'll get you Tom Thomas what are you doing over there huh watching a movie but why on my computer sorry Professor yeah will you forgive us so how is it any good uh-huh super funny one really yeah you see that boy there he's gonna start waving his arms around like a maniac he also crows like a chicken [Music] cock-a-doodle-doo and now the boy's gonna go in and chew paper [Music] I can't do this all at once hmm [Music] a movie that's what we're watching here right people have always been interested in seeing what's going on outside of where they are and with the invention of video transmission it's now possible to see what's going on almost anywhere now without leaving your home you can see what's happening on another Street or even in some Far corner of the world with the help of video calls doctors can help their colleagues perform complicated surgeries teachers can give lessons by video and scientists can take part in video conferences with video you can watch a live theater performance in another country and even in outer space an astronaut can feel right at home just chatting away with friends and family and it's not just for astronauts either now almost every tablet and fold here on Earth has video in it introducing Tom Thomas nice to meet you there son and I'm Professor eugenius so I guess you're also a friend of the fixies yeah only it's a my friend that's a secret the two of us share and you know keeping secrets is what friends do [Music] well professor eugenius your kettle's back in Action kitties oh why thank you I've been longing for a cup of tea yes there's no tea left in here then I'll go ask Lisa if she has some ah look genius you forgot the key [Music] the key don't close the door Simca you must be joking that's a key this is nothing but a plastic card but it is a cube a special kind it's called a key card open up a combination lock you need to enter a code in the correct order that means if you can't remember the code you can't open the lock but if the lock uses a key card there isn't any code to memorize because the code is held inside the card's memory and the lot can read the code from the card of course key cards don't work with any lock they have to be smart locks that are able to read electronic codes when the Smart Lock reads the correct code it opens right up [Music] Elisa do we have any tea here of course because you're a genius wonderful I'll take one bag then oh I left my key inside the lab can I borrow yours yes don't forget to give it back of course I'll give it back come on Elisa I got myself a tea bag the water's boiling fantastic wait a second ah oh no I was supposed to give something back to Elisa why don't you go and ask her right I'll be right back all right professor eugenius card number two now [Music] Elisa I promised you something didn't I yes the key you said you'd return it yeah sure let me get it just a sec oh I locked it in the lab it's terrible how will you ever get back into the laboratory now you see there is one way but it's a secret would you mind leaving for a couple of minutes key I think I left it on the table Yeah right it's true so how do we solve this I need to think about it what's there to think about we just have to go and push it under the door you think you can do it yeah it's time to get to work hey what's going on oh were you just calling for me yeah uh no Lisa not for you it's so heavy do you know where digit ran off to fidgets off somewhere thinking he's always [Music] way to go no like then who are you talking to actually oh what's that what what was that come on let's try again look do you see that ah that it's a telekinesis it's the power to transport things with your mind you are just astounding was that done with your mind too the door yeah sure you are a genius Professor eugenius is a very talented scientist and a dear old friend of the Pixies he he always helps the fixies and the fixies are happy to help him too Professor eugenius let the fixie set up their school right here at his laboratory it's hard to imagine a better place for a fixie school people from all over the city bring all sorts of things to the laboratory to be tested from computers phones and Furniture to food and toys Professor eugenius uses his expertise to check the quality of all these different things to help him carry out his experiment his laboratory is filled with a variety of tools and machines yes Professor eugenius is a very smart man but he can be absent-minded lucky for him he's got us Pixies around thanks for everything fighting the key card under the door that was simka's awesome idea but the door opened wide while the card was still on the floor that's strange there's nothing strange about it I'm the one who opened it how I climbed into lock that's all figured out how it worked dead titties very clever that's a real tadish I guess that thinking before you go and fix something ought to be what we all study next the Eco tester are you ready to see my new invention I just can't wait to show you what it does what is it an Eco tester and what is it for this device lets you check vegetables or fruit so you'll know if they're safe to eat [Music] to grow as Tomatoes or melons faster and bigger people add chemical fertilizers to the soil but there's a problem if too much of these chemical fertilizers is used when there's too much of them the harmful chemicals get inside the fruits and vegetables and that makes them very dangerous to eat an Eco tester is a special device that quickly shows how much of these harmful chemicals have gotten inside of the food and if the reading is too high that means you shouldn't eat it [Music] as you can see the Eco tester shows that this apple is good well let's see this one is safe too it's not interesting this way these apples are all safe now let me take this delicious apple and um make it bad we will inject this apple with a harmful amount of nitrates what do you mean how come so we can see how the ecotester works [Music] aha so you see the ecotester clearly shows this apple is poisonous and can't be eaten is it only for apples or for any kind of fruit any fruit or vegetable I can get a watermelon to show you could it really be true that watermelons can have nitrates too of course they can have nitrates humans often Act without any concern for nature the waste from factories airplanes cars and cities causes tremendous damage to Nature species of plants and animals disappear air water and soil become polluted and many other kinds of ecological problems appear and humans shouldn't think that ecological problems are just Nature's problems because when humans harm nature they are also harming themselves people breathe in the dirty air drink polluted water and eat food grown in soil contaminated with chemicals if humans don't want to drink milk filled with poisons and they want to eat ecologically clean fruits and veggies then they must learn to treat nature as their friend hey what are we just these apples ourselves snolick help me out [Music] oh [Music] it rolls away I don't care that Apple's Poisoned With nitrate oh apples Elisa don't eat that look Lisa Elisa stop oh please sit down what you bit into it yes and what oh no it's poisoned what do you have trouble talking oh yeah you feel faint oh I'm fainting Lisa hang in there what there's no poison in that Apple she ate oh my assistant oh no I've poisoned her oh Lisa please what should I do I know how to make him here hello it's an emergency it's a case of of poisoning not me I poisoned someone yes with an apple fire I mean poison oh Professor this Apple has no poison in it the bad one rolled away onto the floor did it really fantastic news can you see me Elisa I can't see anything how's that [Music] see you I can see you I can see again I have great news there's no poison at all in this apple are you sure it's perfectly fine here take a look the Eco tester shows that there are no harmful chemicals inside it's wonderful news this is one excellent apple and nutritious this Appliance of yours is simply wonderful and also say he's a genius Professor you are a genius thank you for saving my life oh it was nothing actually it was Nordic he saved her life I did dropping the watermelon was your idea wasn't it ah you're right I I saved her life [Music] the bee Tom Thomas hello how come you're eating jams straight from out of the jar because it tastes so good a bee [Music] shoot get out of here leave it alone it's just a plain old bee well I was bitten by one of those plain old bees once uh Tom Thomas don't do it go away you pissed flies are pests these are very helpful and useful how can a bee ever help us out these are hard workers they are constantly collecting nectar from flowers flying from flower to flower bees transport pollen on their bellies thanks to this process of pollination flowers produce fruit and seeds in other words these help plants reproduce the bees use the nectar they collect to make that delicious sweet honey loved by kids of all ages and bee honey is not only delicious it's also nutritious foreign [Applause] [Music] well now I'm gonna show you don't the bee's the one who should be afraid you Tyrant yeah you let it go Tyrant why are you calling me names who's stopping her she can fly away if she wants we need to show her the way out well how here little bee fly this way why don't you try going then

go on fly no that's not gonna work you need to go and get more Jam [Music] here little bee yum yum go on and fly you're free let her eat first don't be greedy I'm not being greedy if she eats she can make honey out of your jam long ago people could only collect Honey by destroying the nests of wild bees and that went on until someone came up with the idea of taming those insects they started by leaving enough honey for the bees to survive through the winter people took care of bees in these Hollows until they learned to build small houses for them called beehives and a town made of these bee houses is called an bees live and work together in the beehives making honey while beekeepers take care of the bees and collect the honey these are real team players they tell each other where the best flowers grow do you know how they do it one of the bees does a dance and then the rest of the bees watch the dance and learn where they need to fly foreign [Music] tired you out I told you there's nothing to be afraid of you see she's just so nice and kind I'm not afraid of her she wouldn't let me eat my jam that's all well now it's time for you to fly away she's playing rough here I I

bees to fly it how come what do you mean how come cause it's my turn for a b ride the instructions oh [Music] it doesn't work try putting it in the other way did you read the instructions why would I instructions are for dummies yeah instructions are for dummies all right oh what's going on WOW [Music] battery instructions teach us how to do things right instructions for a piece of furniture explain how to put it together with the instructions for a television we can adjust the picture and sound the way we like them print it on a box of oatmeal are the instructions for how to cook it the instructions for medicines tell us what the medicine is for and how to safely use it so always read the instructions if you want to do things right and avoid a lot of problems I found it here it is here you go Tom Thomas whoa we got your new chair but it has to be assembled and I'm afraid it'll be a little bit difficult for you no it won't don't worry Dad I'll do it finish before dinner and we'll get ice cream tonight A creamsicle two okay first assemble the chair [Music] we put the chair together come on hey first you two need to read the instructions what like I haven't seen a chair or like I haven't seen a chair foreign [Music] [Music] well Tom Thomas you done dinner's ready let's go oh Dad no I need another two minutes [Music] Simca help me how what does it say I have to do in the instructions ah I thought you could do it without a H all right I'll help you let's see take this part of part of here and that one over there no look get a screw come on it's over there the very first stools and benches appear as far back as ancient Egypt the Pharaoh stool was special because it had a back it is thought that the Pharaoh stool was actually the first chair for a long time a chair was considered a luxury Rich nobleman would bring their own chairs to parties and the more important the man the higher the back of his chair he doesn't until the 19th century the chairs became part of every house today there are just so many different kinds of chairs there are wooden chairs plastic chairs metal chairs chairs with legs chairs with wheels folding chairs baby chairs just all sorts of chairs well well how could people sit down at the table with no chairs I think we'll make it screw it in quickly no look we need one more screw but but there is you gotta find it I already looked everywhere Tom Thomas time's up no look you have to help just for a minute that's all turn into a screw if it's only a minute I'll do it for you [Music] I'm done you built it huh great job son see how I won the BET can you believe it he put the chair together you're so brilliant go on have a seat [Music] uh [Music] ah now I see you missed a screw but I screwed it in it must have must have what must have what look here it is now this screw's not going anywhere and that ice cream you won well you just lost it well then Mr chair builder time for dinner yeah in a sec where is that noise he ran away what a traitor no he's not he promised you he'd become a screw for just a minute and a minute was up well where is he then over there he's studying the instructions for the clock hey Tom Thomas it says that we put the wrong kind of battery into the clock we should have used that kind you see Tom Thomas if you don't want to be a dummy instructions are for you airbag we're gonna be late we'll make it [Music] oh wow hey slow down there I'm a super duper racer well well fire again risking your life and super Racers like me can always count on luck you know fire counting on Good Luck is stupid it would be better if you would keep your mind on safety actually today Professor eugenius has something really special to show us he's going to be testing an airbag uh what's that digit explain it foreign because if the car has to stop quickly the belt will hold the person back but there are times when even seat belts don't give enough protection like when a fast moving car crashes into something when that happens the driver and passengers can be protected by an airbag you can't see them when they're folded up because they're hidden but if the car is in a crash the airbags blow up very quickly and the person bumps into the bag instead of bagging it to the steering wheel or flying through the windshield foreign [Music] here I come and once again when something dangerous must be tested Professor eugenius tested on himself but grampus aren't you scared that it won't blow up with air don't worry about the air [Music] the airbag filled up in an instant did you notice yeah but how does it do it there was a chemical inside of there that quickly Burns and instantly turns into a gas the moment the crash takes place the gas fills the airbag and there you go did I explain that right professor [Music] we've gotta get him out stop we'd better call for help [Music] Professor do you need some help I'm sorry to take you from your work you are free to go Professor how did you manage to press the button from way over there uh I managed to hit it on the Fly you are just astounding to keep small children safe while they're riding in a car they must be buckled up with a seat belt inside of a special booster chair but kids also need to be careful when they're riding a bicycle skateboarding roller skating providing a scooter first of all it's best to keep off of roads where there's too much traffic it can put your protective gear on for your arms and legs wear elbow pads gloves and knee pads for your head we're a helmet that way if you fall down you won't get badly hurt third make sure that people can see you if you're out riding in the evening your closing bike must have safety reflectors on them they let drivers see where you are by reflecting the light from their headlights back at them remember better safe than sorry here we go well I hope this time I've got it should we call his assistant right now just in case let's just wait and see Ready Set Go Grand boost he needs to be rescued no need I made a change to it now the back not only inflates automatically it deflates itself as well as you fix he say today's lesson is done all right I've got your fixie board fire here you go I just went and equipped it with an airbag really how come you know I'm a super racer see oh and that's why I installed it super Racers don't need airbags we never never ever oh wow is that airbed cool or what it's a very original designer used there that design is my own and fire ran the test Professor will you make an airbag for each one of us you all will get them real soon but even so passion and Care make accidents rare the gramophone and that's a photograph of my mom when she was little or look happy didn't she because parents were all happy when they were children but then they grow up and start getting all gloomy and as boring as can be oh what's this do you know [Music] a song about a screw it's total nonsense nonsense it's about a screw which means it's practically about fixies why don't we listen to it and find out if it's good we can all dance together how do you listen to this thing like this why don't we try to use the player we won't fit in there look right here it says gramophone record see so we need to find a gramophone player find what let's go to Grandpa's we found a song about a store we want to hear we're looking for a player for a gramophone record I understand what you need is a gramophone a gramophone is an old appliance that was made for playing back sound that was recorded onto records if you want to turn on a gramophone you need to turn the handle to wind up its spring the spring makes the record spin then a needle is placed on top of the record and as it moves through the groove on the record it shakes a little which makes a diaphragm a sort of mini drum skin start to vibrate the Big Horn of the gramophone then makes the sound louder and we hear a voice or music the most amazing thing is that a gramophone doesn't have an electric motor or any electronic that's right you don't need electricity for a gramophone to play back the sound that's recorded on a record that's because a gramophone is an entirely mechanical Wonder if you want to know there is a gramophone in the office of Tom Thomas's Dad it's on the desk great let's go thanks would be nice I can't find the on button there is no on button you need to grab that handle and turn it now take that thing and put it down onto the record it's not playing look there's no needle in there and where can we get one from we can make it do you have any nails around here [Music] is this good that'll be great are you ready totally cover your eyes [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] double dozer was a strong one until there was a thug and then the mighty giant fell straight into the mud five four three two one a little screw went for a run and now without this little party everything just falls apart [Music] [Music] what's that music playing it's a gramophone record gramophone I thought it was broken we fixed this so not we I fixed this thing really what a wonderful boy I've got other kids are breaking things and you fix them what do you say we played that record once more I used to love it so much when I was little the mighty cream was working until there was a pop and then the mighty giant gave out and lost its top five four three two one a little squirrel went for a run and now without this little heart everything just falls apart [Music] [Music] Tom Thomas's mom really dances super grown up chess [Music] how about that then I'll play my pawn and I'll play my part grandpas we need our spool and it's missing oh congratulations Professor have you seen it anywhere the spool I haven't seen it we're playing chess can't you see do you like board games like dominoes for instance just about everybody has played it but do you know where it came from Domino's was invented by the ancient Chinese they made tiles and decorated them with dots like on a pair of dice and this is a game that looks a lot like Checkers but it's a lot more challenging it's called backgammon backgammon originated in Persia and from there it's spread all over the world but the most challenging game of them all is the game of chess just was invented in India and today the game of chess is loved in every country it's played by adults by children and even by computers chess is a real sport but the most important thing for playing chess is not the power in your arms but the power in your brain look I found it [Music] hey what's going on that's our school please let us take it back there's something we have to do with it but we're using it can't you wait it's a replacement for the missing Pawn oh no that can work for a while as the Pawn's replacement yeah I can do it all right you can take it and you stand right over here one two three up we go class so how do we play you're going to play for the whites and now I'm going to capture your knight [Music] whoa young man young man slow down it goes back here [Music] no I can get back to your Square what for pawns don't move like that and how do they move only one square per move and only forward of all of the pieces the little Pawn is the weakest what a mess so which one's strongest huh this it's the queen she's the most dangerous threat to the other king oh how come I couldn't be Queen then that black king would have to deal with me oh yes in chess each player has a black or white army with eight pawns two knights two Bishops two castles and a queen all of them work together for their King trying to protect him while attacking the enemy's King if the king finds himself in a position where he can be captured the attacking player says check and if the king finds himself with nowhere to run from the attack it's called Checkmate whoever checkmates the other players King first is the winner [Music] hmm I'll move my queen yeah and me my queen huh then I'll just capture your queen really then I'll just capture yours should I go now not yet so do you feel like surrendering you're kidding do you know it Forward hooray we'll step aside forward let's go and capture the knife he got away all right pawn and once more go forward where do I go now don't you see the edge don't go anywhere now you're the queen what the rules of Chess say that if a pawn makes it all the way to the other side he can become anything that was captured earlier hooray then I'll be the queen and I'll be the strongest piece in the whole game hey Queen get back here in case you don't know this isn't over yet we capture the pawn with the queen queen this is your new place trick Shack yeah now come to here mate my colleague of course it is it is mate yeah I lost okay that means Nola can live with us I'm not going anywhere with you which is the greatest game you'll ever play in your life all you should have seen are put Professor eugenius into Checkmate really well Grandpa's helped me a little actually it was Grandpa's telling me where to move [Music] the laboratory [Music] you've got to get to the school right away what did he say that we've got to get to the school how come did you hear why I didn't did you [Music] I wonder if Simka didn't go to school today or if nolik got into some kind of mischief oh I'm worried this is something serious and that's five six hairstyle seven eight [Music] hi there hello Verda oh where's Grandpa's I'm not positive but go and look in the chemistry area over there over in chemistry uh Telus was nolik doing anything wrong today he's always fooling around right so we're not here for anything nolik did maybe something awful happened to him like what well how about anything this isn't just a school for fixies this is a laboratory [Music] the laboratory where Professor eugenius works is always humming in the mechanical Zone Professor eugenius tests all sorts of different devices to see how well they are made in the chemistry Zone he conducts experiments on the quality and safety of food in the electrical Zone he repairs electrical devices and checks their safety unfortunately the professor can be absent-minded and that can cause things in his laboratory to Bubble spark or even explode foreign [Music] there's nothing to worry about yet but how can I not worry digit do you see no look anywhere do you know if anything's happened to him this is a laboratory here who knows what could happen to anyone like what what are you saying like that I told you things happen here and where let's go quickly [Music] last year no need to panic we really need your help what is going on [Music] where here [Music] there they're all there my children don't lose your head oh [Music] Asia is my wife and the mother of our children Simca and Noli Masia is a real Beauty a kind and gentle soul and a wonderful Homemaker she is also a very responsible and extremely skilled fixie she is our family's expert in kitchen appliances and gadgets Marcia works from morning till night fixing and cleaning anything that is in need of her expert care because she just loves when everything is clean and tidy but most important for Marcia are her children she takes loving care of sinka and nolik and tries to protect them from harm Marcia worries about them so much that sometimes Her Imagination gets carried away with what might have happened to them although our little knowledge can get himself into situations that even Mafia could never have dreamed of [Music] foreign [Music] hang on tight we'll save you hey you're alive what's going on I don't need to be safe from anything so it's Simcoe we need to save not you I don't need saving either I'm fine and what are you so worried about everyone's alive then why did you make us come here I need you to help with the little accident we had Nolan was this your fault oh no it's not nolik's fault quite the opposite he was trying to help me fix it papers we need you to help us with one of the pieces that we couldn't get back in place this one [Applause] oh a perfect repair huh that was really the only reason we had to rush here why not there was just no way we could let this wait so I sent for you but fire said why fire why is it always fire how come you had to scare us so badly I'm not the one who scared you you did that all by yourselves the shadow play hi there Tom Thomas what are you doing here paper clip give me some light [Music] [Laughter] funny huh we're trying to help you out you've got funny Shadows that's what [Music] hey check this out it's an eagle she looks more like a moose I do huh all right [Music] you're like real actors performing in a show uh-huh actors playing a theater you know and we're just under a bed and so what how about we make our very own theater a theater with shadows Tom Thomas we need a piece of paper a huge sheet it's really quite easy to make your own Shadow theater you can make the screen out of a white sheet or a big piece of paper next make sure the room is dark and shine a desk lamp at the screen now to make the Shadows just put yourself or a cardboard cutout between the lamp and the screen Your Shadow or The Shadow of Your puppets will come to life but make sure that the audience sits on the other side of the screen the play will be much more magical for them from that side [Music] Tom Thomas light oh wow Simca you look totally like the real Red Riding Hood hello dear granddaughter hello hello dear grandmother grandmother what very big eyes you've got the better to see you with my dear no look come on we're rehearsing the wolf's voice is funny grandmother I never noticed what very big teeth you've got they're so much better to eat you with my dear Yum Yum Yum Yum let them out wolf or out or out get them out whoa myself haha you'll stop me with that little sticky that's not in the fairy tale but in the fairy tale it's a normal Hunter and what do you think I am look for yourself you're way too small to be the hunter fine then go to you play without me well I guess I'll have to make the hunter out of paper then that's all take a break I'm really thirsty she was so salty that Grandma No Lick don't be upset the wolf is huge and I'm so little then let's make it bigger you see now you're bigger yeah you're right and if we go back here then I'm even bigger now you know if you go back here near the lamp Your Shadow will get bigger on the screen Clash there are just so many different kinds of theaters in the world in the dramatic theater the actors speak the lines of the playwright at the Opera the actors don't speak their lines they sing a company by an orchestra and here at the ballet the performers don't speak or sing their parts here the story is told with dance there are also theaters where the performers are animals in an animal theater you can watch performances by cats and dogs or goats and pigeons or even bears and seals there are also theaters where the stories are told by puppets to tell the truth the puppets are brought to life with the help of people yes there are so many different kinds of theater my favorite is the Shadow theater I think it's the most beautiful and mysterious theater of them all hello dear grandmother grandmother what very big eyes you've got the better to see you is my dear and grandmother what great big shark you've got all the better to eat you up with my dear um oh just wait aha wolf under look so strong you're a hunter then where's your gun why do I need a gun you're so tiny I could use a fly swatter but I'd rather do it like this like what with my bare hands way to go [Music] ending who is your favorite mine was the grandmother I think Red Riding Hood was the best for me the Hunter he was so mighty and so fearless and for me the special effects the antenna [Music] wow is this cooler what ah hello there little fixies did you come to see what I'm working on Professor eugenius tell us what you're planning on doing with this huge thing well I hope to use this fantastic device to make contact with aliens since ancient times people have wondered is there life on other planets what made aliens from outer space look like and what kind of spaceships do they travel in there are some people who say that they've seen alien spaceships and that they look like flying saucers there are even some people who say they've actually made contact with aliens but personally I'm sure it's just their fantasy and science hasn't been able to prove any of these stories either the one story that makes me laugh harder than all of the rest comes from a guy who claims that he saw aliens with his own eyes can you believe it said that there was a group of tiny aliens that looked like humans with glowing hair it seems to me that this guy just happened to spot a few fixies who weren't able to hide from him in time [Music] it's ready if I could talk now what the aliens are out there flying by the earth oh see this plate get hungry and come for food aliens don't need a plate like this silly when they've got plates that fly flying saucers you're both silly this thing isn't a plate at all it's an antenna antenna antennas help people receive radio signals they come in all sorts of shapes and sizes like this this or this to pick up a signal that's very weak powerful antennas that are shaped like large dishes work the best of all when radio waves hit the dish the waves all bounce off of it and gather together into one point this makes the signal stronger and clearer the most powerful dish antennas can even pick up signals from outer space no like stop you'll burn yourself don't treat me like a baby boy okay ah interesting what's inside of there do you know why don't we go and take a look I was only trying to help him out no need Nola the soldering iron is way too hot and I practically all done here and let's start looking for those aliens in outer space just one second nolik oh and now [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] we go Simka let's see if we can pick up signals from outer space what do you think is it night right now where the aliens live what if they're sleeping bothering the professor with your nonsense let us help right now catch these little sounds I'm afraid there's no way they can hear us from this far away I can't hear any signals it just sounds like static be patient you guys and keep listening we all know how clever you are guess I can't think of a way out of here I think I got it too uh you stay there I'll use a special code I know to send a signal that we're in trouble wait a second do you hear that could it be a signal from the Ali array this is Sensational it means that somewhere in the cosmos are intelligent forms of life three dots three dashes three dots who's Morse code it's a signal for help that they're sending you don't think the aliens are in trouble do you yeah I think so and who do you think they learned Morse code from out there yeah that's strange there are hardly any fixies that know that code digit does ah and where is he you know and where's Tula well well I think I know exactly with which aliens we made contact I think I know it too Professor lower the antenna [Music] greetings to you oh extraterrestrial visitors hi there it's good to be back oh uh what a shame I was really hoping that we'd find intelligent life forms out there it's all right to unintelligent ones batteries oh my little lemon just you wait one day you'll be a strong and Splendid tree she's talking with a flower pot scared me do you like it like what my ceiling don't you see if I grow into a huge tree and there amongst the green leaves will be beautiful yellow lemons class from that thing lemons oh yeah it'll grow into a tree all it needs for that is to gather energy get energy from where the sun it'll be so slow oh batteries would be faster than the sun batteries I really don't think so Tula do you know how much energy they have let's just bury a bunch of those batteries in here and you'll be watching your lemon plant shoot up into a tree are you positive absolutely and where can we get the get the freeze over there Professor eugenius has a whole box full of them [Music] every day battery batteries they give power to appliances so they can run [Music] that does it we'll be seeing the first lemons before the week's over [Music] the first battery in the world was made in Italy more than 200 years ago when two different kinds of metal were placed in salty water electricity started flowing through a wire from one piece of metal to the other men years have passed since then but batteries still work in pretty much the same way today you can find batteries being used for electricity just about everywhere tiny batteries are used inside of wrist watches while big batteries can power cars and even ships with new batteries being produced by the millions we have to think how should we get rid of the old ones you can't just throw away batteries because they'll poison our Soil and Water the best way to dispose of batteries is to take them to a special collection station that sends them to factories for recycling [Music] yes yes it's a terrible idea to bury batteries can kill any plants that are growing there and this is the very reason why Professor eugenius puts all of his used batteries in that box over there so we can dispose of them properly hey where are they [Music] what where are the batteries how come so the lemons would from the batteries who came up with that idea it will die hurry we gotta go save it the soil's contaminated we've got to find a new home for the seedling over there there's a pot with healthy soil do it they come in different sizes shapes and colors too batteries [Music] thank you [Music] batteries don't cry the seedling will be perfectly fine it will grow big and strong with branches full of beautiful lemons and oranges and watermelons it's a lemon tree fire will you ever stop going too far like with the batteries well anyhow batteries are cool right look how many appliances can't work without them you're right appliances can't work [Music] look the seedlings coming back to life [Music] Tula tell us isn't it splendid [Music] the tools hang on there are these really cool things that I want to show you [Music] whoa whoa look how many things you got all at once your dad's gonna be so angry when he sees what you did with all his tools I'm gonna put them all right back where they were and where were they open the box and you'll see it's neat there's a special place in there for each one of the tools try hammering in a nail or drilling a hole with your bare hands uh-huh there's no way but with the help of the proper tools it's a piece of cake but of course that's only if you know how to use them tools need proper care if the head of a hammer is loose or a drill is dull then you shouldn't work with them it's dangerous and when you're done working put the tools back in their places or you'll be tearing your house apart trying to find them the next time you need them huh the pincers go here and the wrench goes over there this drill but it's too long for this spot let's see if it fits in this one huh any idea what this tool is for for splitting wood or carving stone that chisels what you want to own oh wow Simca you're a real poet now try to answer this little poem when you have a thing to measure this round tool is quite a treasure this tool right I know what it's called it's a measuring tape let me measure you know look wow you've grown you've almost reached one centimeter class I also have a rhyming riddle for you when bangs and nailing to the wall to make sure pictures never fall a hammer I was first and the hammer goes right here and now I have one for you to guess if you need to screw in screws here's the tool that you should use a screwdriver I was first again you got it right all right Tom Thomas we better hurry we still have a lot of tools here to get sorted out humans just like fixies use hundreds of different tools to do their work picking the right one depends on the task at hand for instance if you need to hammer in a nail use a hammer but you don't use a hammer for a screw for that there is a special tool called a screwdriver a wrench is the tool for tightening nuts and bolts a vise is used to hold a part in place and a drill to drill a hole if you need to cut a piece of wood you should choose a saw you could use a handsaw for example or a hacksaw different kinds of pliers can be used for snipping gripping or bending if you need to smooth something down you use a file if you learn how to work with tools properly you can build just about anything looks like we did it just in time oh and how about this do you know what kind of tool that is I don't know there's no place for it in here just throw it out come on and what if my parents use it looks like we did something wrong here my dad came home Tom Thomas I'm in here hi there reading way to go son huh oh I don't get it where is it what I put a piece of metal under the table leg so it wouldn't shake but it disappeared so that's where the tools place is did you take it what I didn't it must be somewhere under the table ah and you look under the sofa uh all right [Music] what do you think he wants he wants us to get that metal thing out of his dad's Box come on let's go you got it [Music] thank you any luck ah me neither [Music] I found it Dad it was under the table just like I told you huh you were right it's strange how could I have missed it maybe you're just uh tired from working too much maybe what uh it's a new word to Dish I do like the sound of it the baby monitor [Music] oh it's my old baby monitor on check check checking one two three checking it's working why don't we give it to the Johnsons they just had a baby the other day oh this is mine and I'm planning on using it aren't you a little too big for it no I'm not big at all well I didn't realize that you're still a little boy and a greedy one at that [Music] they're never gonna notice this hey fixies are you here [Applause] we're here now why did you call us I gotta show you how I turned into a mind reader I I find that just a little hard to believe okay then I'll show you I'll leave you alone and then you'll hide this button wherever you want then I'll come back and find it you got it foreign Place well we gotta think of one keyboard come on come on in we're ready for you and now I'm going to read your thoughts here I go you hit the button here look ta-da he really does read minds oh that was a lucky guess bet you can't do it again well I bet you I can we're gonna have to be sneakier Vera she's the most beautiful girl in our class she knows it too and doesn't hesitate to use it she can even be a bit sneaky like when she needs help with her homework then digit suddenly becomes her best friend but if she doesn't want to carry her pack a match she'll say fire please help me you're just such a strong fixie but all those boys like her just the same digit does and all it does then I guess I do too although I really like Simca more or maybe Verda or both of them I haven't decided yet Verdi can be difficult and even bossy sometimes but one thing I know for sure there does a good friend a friend that'll always come help well that is if she's able to pry herself away from the mirror [Music] throw it down into this pencil but then we concentrate on another place that is good but it won't work fixies come on in [Music] uh-huh hmm [Music] it's in here [Music] Simca were you thinking about the cup no I swear and my mind was blank then who did huh huh uh-huh Tom Thomas where do you say we go again as many times as you want I know how he's been doing all of this it's a baby monitor that's how we can hear what we're seeing I don't get it a baby monitor helps parents watch over their babies has two units that look like Wireless telephones the parents keep one of the units by their side and put the other one in the room where the baby is sleeping if the baby suddenly wakes up and starts crying the unit in the baby's room will pick up the sound and send it by radio waves to the parents unit mom or dad will hear the crying and go and comfort their child and so he's listening to us now this time I know what we should do go hide it under the glow go on uh-huh huh where is it if you're at our minds you'd find your button under the baby monitor you tricked me that's really not nice and spying on us is nice you think I'm sorry I just thought it'd be fun well anyhow Tom Thomas you're too old for this thing unless of course you still need it I'm not a baby I was just you know checking it I'll go and give it to Mom Mom I'm not greedy about what let's give this monitor to the Johnsons and this car is for their baby boy I don't think that baby's big enough yet for your car so what soon he's gonna get bigger and become a big boy right like me knocks no look there are pirates off the starboard side battery fire hey I'm not a pirate why'd you hit me that's it I'm tired of playing the wind where are my Pirates this looks great can I board your ship and what are your skills funds like protecting the ship and yelling hooray when we win and how about good C knots can you tie them of course I can tie them entire [Music] [Music] good enough foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] I'll pick it all up don't worry no thank you we'll manage ourselves he calls himself a sailor go and learn to tie some knots try tying two ropes into a knot you think it's easy a badly tied novel untie itself before you know it here's one way to tie it right first cross over the two ends like this now to finish the knot you've got to cross them over again but not this way it's gotta be in the opposite direction when it's done it looks like one Loop inside another this kind of knot is called a square knot and it won't untie as long as you tie it right and that's just one of the many kinds of knots a sailor has to learn [Music] foreign [Music] I knew I could tie it now what else is there to practice on around here pleasure another one that's nice I know it because I counted our treasure so what happened to the last one well done there so what else could I tie perfect I even remember what it looks like it's a different color it's a bright red one oh mom's gonna notice right away that the red one's gone I gotta go find it yeah I think it's on the floor who tied my laces together I was just practicing sorry and what else did you tie up to practice your knots I'm not sure you want to know you're funny let's go untie them foreign [Music] don't look at me that way I'm scared she's just staring at her old whiskers nolik and what have you done to her whiskers well I tied them with the square knot fire you're just a blockhead and why don't you tell us what else you've done well okay I tied a decoration on her tail that's where it is we were looking everywhere for that thing fire go and takes everything you've done don't run away don't much [Music] Sailors have developed all sorts of different nuts without them they couldn't control their sales but we couldn't get by without knots on land either mountain climbers use tightly knotted ropes to help them climb and keep them safe fishermen tie hooks to their fishing line using special knots you can't even pitch a camping tent properly without making a knot when people sew they tie knots in the thread to hold it in place and doctors use knots when they Stitch and bandage a wound and a tie wouldn't be a tie if you didn't tie a knot in it sneakers won't fall off your feet and the laces won't drag on the ground if they're tied with a proper knot but sometimes things can get knotted up by accident and that's one time when you don't need to know how to tie knots but how to untie them all aboard [Music] like that now the only thing left to do is tie a knot should I tie it are you sure it won't untie you're joking why don't you go ask you sucka if I can tie a knot like a sailor the draftsman huh what hi there Tom Thomas what are you drawing I'm not drawing this is called drafting what's the difference tell me is that a circle sure is [Music] and that it's a circle too only it's a rounder one of course that's because I drafted it with a compass and now I've got a real Target so now I'll load my dart gun [Music] [Applause] oh oh why'd you shoot that thing in me it was the gun I didn't even pull the trigger [Music] did it break hmm let's open it up and see there this little part broke let me go find Papoose he can help you he can make another one a brand new one wait I can draft a technical Droid will Papoose understand how to read one of those are you kidding Papoose is an expert at everything [Music] done wow Tom Thomas you're a real technical drawer a draftsmanolik that's what they call it [Music] try drawing a perfect circle by hand can't do it huh well with the help of a drafting Compass your circle will turn out great just put the needlepoint in the center and turn the compass and it's done a compass is only one of the many different tools for drafting for example if you need to draw a straight line use a ruler and if you need to draft a frame for your picture you can use a triangle first draft one side and then the other and then to finish your frame just turn the triangle upside down and draft the two remaining sides you'll get a perfectly squared frame there are also drafting instruments for making curved lines they are called irregular curves or French curves but actually now people use computers more and more for drafting technical drawings [Music] what what happened we really need your help one of the parts broken Tom Thomas's dart gun could you make it what kind of part exactly look here's a technical drawing so you even got a technical drawing very good then let's take a look at it [Music] here you go super let's see hmm it's not gonna work you see it sticks out here on the side I need to draft another technical drawing [Music] no like you scared me again forgive me but the part is to stick out over on this side and you're sure that's all that's all for real [Music] Tom Thomas it's done listen while you were gone I realized that the part needs to have a hole right here [Music] [Applause] [Music] again uh sorry about this but there's a hole in this thing too a technical drawing is a special kind of drawing it has to precisely describe the thing that needs to be made to do that the drawing must be very accurately drafted and include all of the measurements and that's not all if the object is complex it must be drafted from at least three sides including the front the side and the top you see the object looks different from every side so if you don't want to work over and over again learn to draft correctly [Music] [Applause] [Music] and boom it works Bullseye and all thanks to our technical drawings yeah after three tries right some draftsman you are now I can draft all sorts of technical drawings even one of you if you'd like ah no don't bother okay do me a favor and turn hey what are you doing there just stop what's going on now I think I got it it's done Circle Four huh that's the top view you know what Simca that's what you really look like from up here no look take this over to Papa's he can use it to make another Simca no thanks Tom Thomas for me one soup is enough elevator [Music] Tom Thomas is going to see the circus ah and what we want to go with him can we the answer is no just you kids without supervision who said no supervision his parents are taking him there be careful don't worry they won't even notice us hmm well if Tom Thomas's parents would be we can go wait a second I didn't even say yes yet yeah [Music] silkenolic where are you we gotta hurry up Tom Thomas it's time to go I'll be right there we're ready climb into my hood foreign I know who's going to the circus today [Music] huh what just happened I think that the elevator broke down don't you worry emergency operator um we got stuck in the elevator understood please wait we'll have the elevator fixed within the hour that long that means we won't get to the circus on time I'm sure they can fix it people need elevators to help them get to the upper floors of tall buildings when someone steps into an elevator and presses a button the elevator's electrical engine starts up it pulls the cable that is attached to the elevator cabin and the elevator goes to the desired floor the cable hangs over a wheel and it usually has a heavy counterbalancing weight attached to the other end of it this counterweight balances the elevator and helps the electric motor do its job [Music] foreign I wonder what the reason is [Music] over there that got stuck it's like you found the reason we gotta go and fix it now we'll never get to the circus on time you know we can just have it right here ladies and gentlemen presenting the fixie spectacular and now your attention please on the high wire [Music] whoa just don't come down then I'll close my eyes and I won't look anywhere at all and now we bring you our very own aerial gymnasts [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] our next ACT Feats of Strength [Music] I know how to fix it with a death defying circus I point your eyes up yeah where are you going up to the electric motor [Music] do you know the right way to behave yourself inside of an elevator first of all small children should never get into an elevator by themselves they should only go in with their parents or other adults they know well when getting onto an elevator the adult should always enter first and then the child when it's time to get out it's the other way around first the child leaves and then the adult if you are taking a dog onto an elevator make sure its tail and Leash are completely inside so they don't get stuck in the door and there's one more thing if the elevator suddenly stops for some unknown reason don't try to break out of it yourself it's the button that calls the emergency operator and wait for help from the elevator repairman or the fixies [Music] oh they fixed it that was quick now we'll make it on time there was no need to worry stop ugh it's way too hot Thomas went to the circus without it there's no need to get that upset No Lick the circus is as good as theirs right Papas of course it is thank you thank you uh to who what do you mean who the elevator repairman the motion sensor this part has to be replaced with one that's new got an idea how about we run to the warehouse and get it you don't have time to go there and that way you can keep on working all right then only remember the code for the part A 83.75 I'll remember it for sure [Music] [Music] why is Lisa always there at the wrong time do we have to wait till she goes away what for we'll sneak out behind her digit find the part it's here are we ready yeah we're ready let's do it [Music] Professor eugenius you're in here uh do you know why this door just opened and closed by itself ah of course I know Elisa it's because I converted it into an automatic one you see I installed a motion sensor above it a motion sensor is like an electronic eye that watches everything that moves in front of him did you ever wonder how doors open by themselves at places like stores or at the airport they opened with the help of motion sensors if the sensor sees that someone walks up to the door it sends a signal to the door's electric motor the electric motor opens the door and then automatically closes it after the person walks through it foreign only a bit untidy the door is automatic now then why didn't it open for us on the way here because we're too little for that motion sensor but the parts bigger than we are big enough for the sensor to see it then how do we get in there we can fool that thing if we stay close by the wall now let's keep this as close to the wall as we can this door is a little too automatic and these parts are here again didn't I put them away [Music] ah a sensor still noticed us here's what we gotta do let's break it why do we gotta break it all we have to do is deactivate the unit [Music] sensors are used to help people in all sorts of different situations for instance motion sensors notice when someone is moving so they can automatically open a door or turn on a light some automobiles are equipped with rain sensors if it starts raining or snowing the sensor automatically turns on the car's windshield wipers there are also sensors that react to how much light there is in the evening when it gets dark light sensors can be used to turn on Street lamps and in the morning when it gets light again the sensor switches them off a smoke detector can sense when there's smoke inside the sensor can be used to turn on a fire alarm or even an automatic fire extinguishing system foreign [Music] great job let's go [Music] Professor eugenius mission accomplished well done fixies uh actually not that well this part here is a 7583 hours for a 83 75 didn't you say you knew the code number I did know it but somehow forgot it uh digit I can't believe that you forgot it all right we'll just have to go out one more time thanks but no thanks I'll get it this time I forgot to warn the professor that we've turned off the sensor door will automatically open up [Music] [Music] oh my God forgive us the suction cup [Music] where's Professor eugenius did you see him not yet strange he told me he'd be here today to conduct some tests rampus right here under the glass there's a note hmm new friends that means the notes for us that's because Professor eugenius can always count on us I'm off for a conference today so what should we do while I'm away please keep an eye on each of my tests there's the wristwatch and where is it it's right there [Music] look how come my watch is in the water so the fish can know what time it is no like don't be silly this is the test he made for the watch you see it says water resistant right there on the back means that water shouldn't get inside of it I see so the professor needs to check if it will work underwater understand I yep I got it the watch is working so now the doorbell test we'll go look it's over there [Music] what's that thing doing it tests the button to see how fast it wears out to check the quality of appliances toys Sporting Goods or just about anything they need to undergo serious testing take for instance telephones they need to be tested with both heat and cold because they have to work in places as hot as Africa and as cold as the Arctic computers are tested to make sure they can be shaken and rot too that way you can be sure they'll work on a desk at home or outside in the Parks or while you're taking a ride different kinds of products need different kinds of durability tests for example athletic shoes and car tires are robbed and squeezed over and over to see how long they are going to last this thing's very important without testing a machine or Appliance could let you down at the very worst moment [Music] if guests come to visit once a week and once every month a hooligan comes pushes the doorbell and runs then I figure this doorbell lasts right around 400 years that's long [Music] the doorbell is still working that's very good and also uh what I don't know we need to turn the note over to read the end but how oh raise the glass that's all [Music] I can't get a hold of it we should find a suction cup a suction cup suction cups are made out of rubber or other elastic materials when a suction cup is pressed against a smooth surface the air inside is squeezed out the air outside wants to get back in and so it pushes down on the cup the rubber edge of the cup won't let the air leak in so the outside air keeps pressing down and the cop keeps on sticking and that's how a suction cup sticks to a Surface by using the power of air [Music] foreign wait a minute I know where there's a really big suction cup that we can use [Music] it's a huge suction cup noise well done only we need to hurry before air gets under the suction cup and it unsticks my suction cup will never unstick well let's see what it says here okay you'd better hurry and make sure nothing gets broken here in the laboratory while I'm away [Music] yeah so much for that and who's going to clean up all this broken glass you don't know no lick he told us to use that suction cup she was reading way too slow listen there's no need to fight I came up with the idea of the suction cup I should clean this come on now grandpas we'll clean up this mess Professor I still think the suction cup was a great idea the fixie phone Tom Thomas huh try to guess what we have with us you guess what I have a banana a race car no not that chocolate uh a pair of socks huh do you give up my dad bought a new phone for himself and gave me his old one he said I can keep it oh wow and what have you got look [Music] ah you got a telephone too it's better than that this is a fixie phone Papu's got himself a new fixie phone and he gave this old one to Simca and can you make calls on it uh take a guess come on let me show him [Music] hi there Papoose hi nolik why are you calling uh just to say hi no let's don't just call me if you know I'm working all right see that so what I can make calls on my phone calls to humans that is but to fix these you can't a pixie phone is a smartphone made just for fixie not only can fixies call each other with it but they can get onto their own special fixie internet on a fixy phone you can find a camera a flashlight news Games movies and fixie ditties those are the fixie's favorite songs Dixie kids love them and so do their parents because fixie phones can easily let parents know where their kids are and whether or not they're in trouble over the years humans have learned how to turn telephones into Mobile phones and mobile phones into smartphones them to call each other and to go on to their internet a smartphone is almost as powerful as a computer but they still have a long way to go to be as good as fixie phones [Music] yeah that's really cool guys only this phone does the same but can your phone do this take a look over here you mean here it's just a mouse and now look here whoa [Music] but he's not he's not on there but look he's here and that's not all watch a mouse helps the user navigate around the computer and when we move it you get it no one else can see the fixie except for you and he can help you super oh it'd be great to have my own fixie phone what about you're what a shame I'm off to school guys oh that's so upset even forgot to take his phone I have an idea [Applause] [Music] my smartphone's my best friend I love to hear it beeping so I keep it by my side even while I'm sleeping all day long all day long all day long even when I'm sleeping with my phone I play alone I don't need my brother so no make a brand new app to replace my mother check my mail send the dates a million times an hour I forgot to plug it in now I'm out of power Bing Bong all day long all day long all day long now I'm out of power being long all day long all day long all day long now I'm out of power we finished it peace look it's a surprise wow this is great now I've got my own pixie phone it's just like you've got well pretty close Tom Thomas Tom Thomas let me use your phone to call myself I need to find my phone oh wow you've changed everything in here where am I I guess I'm Papoose what a funny name you came up with for me [Music] who was that that's uh not no lick who is this [Music] do you know who I just called does anyone know who this phone belongs to out here oh your mother found it I'm coming we'll fix those numbers later uh Papa's gonna really give it to us give me your phone Tom Thomas and I'll delete all the fixies numbers from it [Music] but how can I call you up then why would you have to call us we're always close by [Music] the chick ah Professor eugenius is making breakfast only the eggs will never get cooked at this temperature [Music] what are you doing you can't heat up these eggs to temperatures that are this hot why can't you the chicks you'll kill them what shakes where this Appliance do you even know what it is I thought it was an egg cooker you thought it was an egg cooker listen up I do not want to see you around this thing not anywhere close got it I will get close to it but grandpas we don't even know what this is for it's called an incubator to help her chicks hatch a mother hen sits on her eggs for a long time keeping them warm with the heat of her body an incubator is a device for hatching chicks that is used in place of the mother hen it's always nice and warm inside just like under a chicken's wing but not too hot an incubator can even turn the egg so they get just the right amount of heat all over chicks that are hatched in an incubator are no different from the chicks that are hatched without them foreign what this thunderstorm is really scary let's be scared together I'm not scared at all me neither I was joking just joking with you what do you think are the chicks scared in there holy moly wow that was a big one even the electricity got turned off oh the incubator turned off too and the temperature is dropping and some little chicks is that bad I'm sure it is it's cold in here these chicks need help and Grandpa isn't around then we're gonna have to save these chicks without him get the door open [Music] I can't grandpa said I can't get near the incubator so try opening it yourself you can't do it and I can't help you but the chicks are going to die of cold ah let's just do it but don't you go and tattle the grampus I'm promise hooray it's a bit early for hooray [Music] thank you [Music] candle yeah we'll warm up the chicks with the fire class time for hooray no yeah titties like sparrows Ducks storks and ostriches all birds lay eggs and sit on them to help them hatch and it's not only Birds other animals like snakes crocodiles and even turtles have babies that they hatch from eggs to protect their children they try to hide their eggs like deep in the bushes in the cracks of rocks or in the Sand by the way row is also little eggs just without the shells from this fish row little hatchlings are born that will grow into big fish and from Tiny Frog Road tadpoles hatch that will then develop into full-grown adult frogs and you've heard of dinosaurs right well those giant reptiles that lived millions of years ago they also hatched out of eggs [Music] welcome to the electricity in here it's a blackout from the thunderstorm I guess this is just awful my incubator someone lit a candle and the temperature is normal [Music] so who put the candle in there tell us right now no lick don't be a tattletail it was me by yourself by myself of course yourself I wasn't allowed near it well yeah he wasn't allowed near it all by yourself is our hero so fire follow his example and you know like accept our heartfelt thanks look inside they're starting to hatch all right Fire come take a look now I'm allowing you [Music] look a little chick so cute and so yellow look at him what a little sweetie fire wood well I really know who saved it invisible ink [Music] foreign Thomas what is it a nope who's it from it's from no one ah is this no one a girl hey tell us why did she write to you I don't know well then let's take a look at it no way it's a secret even from your friends come on we're not just your friends we're secret friends and you won't tell anyone nobody we promise [Music] ah are you gonna open that thing or not [Music] there's nothing there hmm is this a joke or something maybe she didn't feel like writing you anything then why would she put a note in there wait wait a second and what if she wrote that letter with a special kind of invisible ink wow I've never heard of it if you want to keep what's written in a letter secret you can write it with a special liquid called invisible ink or security ink you can make invisible ink Yourself by mixing lemon juice milk or baking soda with water then just dip a stick or a brush in it and write on a plain piece of paper like this you can't see anything right to make the invisible ink visible again the paper needs to be warmed up with something like an iron but that's a secret [Music] well Simca you might be right only what about the iron I can't use it but your mom can and right now she's doing the ironing yeah well that changes everything hold on if that really is a secret letter then no one should be allowed to see it even your mother what can I do then ah I know what [Music] mom can you iron my shirt too please will ya what's wrong with it there's nothing wrong it's just that the pockets wrinkled ah sure I'll do it since when did you start worrying about things like this all done thanks Mom do it what what is it huh Tom Thomas I really like you gotcha Kathy is in love with you isn't she and what about you do you like her uh I don't know she does get straight A's you like her you ain't Katya kissing in a tree okay stop your teasing well are you gonna write her back you think I should of course silly I'm scared that someone will see it then why don't you write it with invisible ink like she did yeah go get a lemon [Music] nowadays it isn't very common for people to write letters by hand and send them by regular mail today people mostly send letters through the internet but even electronic letters should be written with some of the same simple rules of politeness used in handwritten letters for instance you need to write a greeting at the beginning of your letter and a few kind words at the end are always appreciated something like hugs and kisses are all the best or see you soon and before you send off your letter it's best to read it through to check for any mistakes and one more thing if you receive a message from someone don't take too long to answer them because they might think that you'd forgotten about them and that can hurt their feelings to say it simply when you're right be polite [Music] go on right and what should I write come on tell the truth just write this forgive me Katya only there's another girl I really like my one and only Suka hmm no lick if you don't like it then why don't you think it up Thomas just go ahead and write how you feel deep down in your heart for Katya Katya I like you too like that is that all I have to write would that be okay it's lovely k-i-s-s-i just sipping will ya Tom Thomas is that everything and did you make sure to check that you didn't make any mistakes no but I'll check right now huh all the words disappeared well if there's something wrong only Katya will find it
