The Lost Chameleon Quest! | The Fixies | Animation for Kids

[Music] the disguise oh good [Music] 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 the seahorse can look like a piece of coral an ordinary gray rabbit becomes white in the winter so a wolf will have trouble finding it in the snow but the champion of camouflage is the chameleon this Master of Disguise can change its color in just a matter of seconds hey Tom Thomas where's your chameleon go oh it disappeared it didn't disappear it camouflaged she won't hide for long let's find him have you seen the chameleon where is he thank you see him [Music] no he's not gonna let us catch him we're gonna have to to trick him into coming to us uh-huh we should set a trap with something that he likes what do they like I wonder what else their food and what do chameleons eat well like flies or caterpillars roaches where's the fly gonna come from well what if what oh yes 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 really really there he is Robin [Music] with my brother come Thomas I've got a hold of him yep I gotcha [Music] in the army they use camouflage all the time they use Nets that look like bushes paint their tanks and colors that make them blend into their surroundings and even fly in special planes that can't be seen by radar they do everything they can to disguise their location but it's not just the army that uses disguises photographers camouflage themselves to take pictures of wild animals people use makeup to camouflage their blemishes and artists they disguise old walls with bright happy pictures and people just love to put on masquerade parties where they disguise themselves in costumes and masks and of course fixies have their own great disguise remember well what is it now he won't run away so Mr Master of Disguise what are you gonna say now if only I could disguise myself that well no like what are you talking about you know how to disguise yourself a hundred times better than him oh you're right hey chameleon look and learn there's a real disguise [Music] 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 turn ourselves into screws that's correct where could it be uh where on Earth could I have put it scatterbrain ah ah it's Professor eugenius 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 ugh 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 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 the fan a fan [Music] oh wow it's a fan hmm and what's inside 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 how do 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 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 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] even need a scanner to do 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 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 look 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 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 one will 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 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 [Music] no look 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 oh we'd be gone by then pull yourself together and I won't see him anymore at all no like I have an idea [Music] 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 sure of 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 Nails yes sometimes the simplest tools are the most powerful ones do we have that tool we've got our Paca mat and it's got everything yeah [Applause] [Music] [Music] 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 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 broken down are you sure yeah and one of the key so my keyboard is stuck for real for real and the clock's not running either oh ho Marcia our life is getting back on the right track should we fix it yeah what else we are the fixies [Music] [Music] we fix things right 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 my broke myself 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 friction [Music] 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 because I've got to pack a mat all right [Music] foreign 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 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] Simca 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 [Music] friction [Music] oh hey uh anyone help help Santa 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 still in here you'll fall over what did you say Okay 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] what was the problem 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 a 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 now 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 only what good is this thing without snow like hey look what I've got for you snow yeah [Music] yep now you've got your very own Hill to sled on this system you don't need oil to make it go quickly [Music] the stain let's see [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 oh no put 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 adult 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 so let's 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 oh I got it you have to use some water foreign [Music] the wash should be better 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 oh 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 it'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 pigs and all sorts of silly superstitions and horoscopes we'll 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 them don't worry nolik I forgot that this is an old shirt and I'm allowed to get it all dirty if I want 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 look look 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 laughs 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 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 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 human 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 like 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 launch 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 armor ready or not here we come I heard him he ran into the hallway [Music] the living room [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] 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 look up there did you hear that he is 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 who is that because the night 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 Arbor in ancient times but the full body armor that Knights wore didn't start until the Middle Ages the armor worn by nights 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 great tusaka's just what we need right now chisaka what's wrong with you it's me hey stop it [Music] help I can't get up come on let's undo the latches now look quickly [Music] foreign thanks for helping me it was nothing I couldn't have done it without you let's put the night back together uh-huh before Dad gets back protective clothing isn't just for people who are fighting in battle let's 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 delivery thanks there chusaka whoa there war horse calm yourself down there we go it's all back in place again too bad that your night 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 wires 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 what was that what was that 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 alright today oh oh 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 volt 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 foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] stop this nonsense will ya [Music] thank you digit 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] 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 [Music] [Music] there 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 Malik 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 can't even a soldering iron capacity 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 time to go play the drums 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 looks the drummer not rock band didn't you know that don't you go and rehearse somewhere else if you wouldn't mind yeah all right can't work like this stupid please oh my head is just splitting [Music] 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 making the racket what 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] it's not very hard to make a drop 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 instruments that make 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 foreign here yeah go ahead I've just got some homework to do I can do that and better than you can too then I'll go like that or like that [Music] ever since I had decided [Music] [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 drum that in their heads on radiators with the spoon the pot goes maybe someday they will get it and they'll buy me my own drums [Music] baby [Music] 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 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] go three nothing [Music] and that's the end of the period time for the teams to take a break it's in a fair game there's six of these guys and only two of us go ahead and call your classmates I'll still I'll score you you sure about that 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 is a musty for fixies 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 to the ice huh introducing the engine of our class my motor's roaring and now the brains of our class did 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 hello what a cute one so you want to quit Tom Thomas I'm not afraid of you [Music] pass I'm calculating the angle to use [Music] 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 missing something here I can tell you what you mean confidence uh calculations Elegance I know speed what's missing here's teamwork you're right it's one for all and all for one and here's what we're gonna do [Music] attack and check don't lose control a line change [Music] [Music] I can't hear you again [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] hooray 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 talking doll [Music] well then 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 doll 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 talk not now children we'll learn about the doll tomorrow now it's time to go home I already know everything about that doll you do changing our voice is so easy that anyone can do it how here come I'll show you [Music] early talking dolls used to work with a noise maker inside when the doll was turned over air inside the noise maker 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 chip 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 [Music] 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] I just thought of a better joke that we can play yeah what [Music] it's too loud 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 did you sometimes I think that he knows everything about everything Professor grandpas 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] to 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 ER this time you came back oh you got scared [Music] no huh 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 [Music] 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 to clean the water no like in school we don't give an answer without being called on and for carrying taste 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 the 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 a trump Institute 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 Nola a pest he's just 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 nolik is just like his grandfather [Music] thank you did you go on then tubes are wow just just little the tubes in here [Music] number one think glass ones that are curvy oh yeah pens parts of them are tubes too um he stopped talking he ran out of ideas those tube slides at the water park the 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 where how can I show you when you kick me out of class [Music] 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 Simca 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 which 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 only don't forget in my class students cannot answer unless they're called on it's in tubing digit please continue well but nolik said all of them already those are 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 the chain reaction [Music] Thomas what you doing no like 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 when 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 [Music] 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 are you so angry huh no luck was rude to me that means you have to be rude to me forgive me tula and where's no well 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 [Music] I think a log on fire isn't easy but it's easy to light a match use the match to light kindling the kindling to light 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 watching reaction what are you doing 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 and 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 ISO ships can Sail on their way thank you 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 okay reaction [Music] modeling clay foreign [Music] 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 what's up hi there fire you want to 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 aha although I gotta say it looks a little strange that's is it let's fix everything before Simca 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 made it out of 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 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 it's leaking at the joint yeah this tube is gonna need a lot of modeling clay give me the rest of your Pac-Man sure and here's a souvenir they are all done what's all done set 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] you know 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 that 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 fingers 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 with that model ing 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 oh but it's made out of modeling clay your reward fits your heroic deed 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 [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 CT 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 know looks cute 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 ah no 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 soon could be able to do this Simka can do it all well if Simka can then I can too [Music] oh 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 labyrinth a 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 street 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] cool there all done no lick you better hurry cause Tom Thomas is on his way home hi there's 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 Noah look 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 you're 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 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 foreign you're not 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 did you ever wonder how a photo camera works if 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] thank you [Music] sucker alive 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 doorbell [Music] no like no like what are you doing here just whistle in 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 got guests coming remember what guests I invited everybody the class yes class [Applause] [Music] foreign 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 [Music] people know it 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 ring 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 [Applause] I think about this yeah you think your guests are gonna come at all the doorbell doesn't work it must be broken that's odd we heard it ring this morning no look 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 wires 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 newest 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 come 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 yeah that's not how guests act so what do we do real guests always ring the bell okay hold be tight the vent Tom Thomas Tom Thomas okay [Applause] Tula check it out it's pretty isn't it crank it 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 to all 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 are you sure that's Vector you've got a photo of the bravest Dixie on the face of the entire planet yeah and the most beautiful I think 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] oh no 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 see 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's 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 film gets even stronger but still not strong enough to stop the bubbles from bursting [Music] okay it's ready now we need to go [Music] do it together and [Music] I don't think this way is gonna work [Music] [Music] the vent of course why didn't I think of that before [Music] have you ever 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 take a look it got stuck over there get it before it flies hey how can we grab it what do you mean don't you remember what I've got thank you Simka what 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 [Music] are you here foreign what you got there Simka a little mirror it's pretty don't you think oh you girls you're all the same the prosthesis over here over here take a look at what I found what Fair did you find Nola you know it's the winter about he was his best friend in the whole wide world until he became friends with you and me let her wind him up [Music] come on come on come on there you go now what 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 Thomas will be so happy wait it's not going to be that easy to repair it we'll need a prosthesis 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 help is on the way [Music] hello Professor eugenius 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] today 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 Pro species 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] good [Music] Ness foreign [Music] here you go thanks so much for your help professor eugenius not at all take care kids [Music] will be just like new now look Simca 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 no look it's not true you're the fixies guys you're my very very best friends in the whole wide world [Music] 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 now 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 a 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 yeah push it 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] [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 these have 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 that em up I crazy talk to us 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 the kaleidoscope [Music] Thomas when are you gonna give me a peek at your 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 foreign [Music] [Applause] [Music] take a look which one this one oh 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 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 Simka 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 ball 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 world that's ever seen it how about that turn it isn't it wondrous designs that tickle the eyes [Music] [Applause] [Music] a crack to the world [Music] dreams [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] GPS [Music] and three four stop who goes next I'm next five five one two three three and wait I gotta choose a root should I go here or there choose already no like 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 as soon as young fixies enter their first year of fixie School everyone gets their own pixie 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 uh-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 punish us what's going on well I think I found a way to get out which way right here I'm Italian Gator glass 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 the GPS 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 charge 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 in case 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 Paca mat 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 you did manage to get the hose at least this is not at all funny to get a cool out of a Pac-Man you must not 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 they're children they must study hard to master this important skill as fixies learn about new tools they take exams 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 ladders 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 is 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 [Music] just be careful how you use them or your fingers you could bruise them Pliers are a great tool indeed be careful how you use fingers you could bruise them Flyers are a great tool indeed I'm going you got it thanks a lot doleic it's not really me you should be thanking grandpas thanks a lot for what let's see the secret what secret about the pliers oh that you know I picked a new topic um I decided that a hammer won't be the tool a hammer only it's a secret I the topic I changed it's a hammer you're sure about that totally all right I'll try to do it a hammer is a great tool indeed 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 difference [Music] [Music] hammers wrenches drill screwdrivers vices Mallet saws and Plies all of these are super duper great tools yes indeed that's all that's enough of this I'll just go and take the exam yeah [Music] 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 fix these sure know how to keep secrets the globe ready Set Go [Laughter] [Music] again I couldn't do it I told you there's just no way to hold on when the globe is turning that fast but I know I can do it hmm me that piece of rope there would you now you can't throw me off spin it go on [Music] what you doing trying to learn a bit about the Earth's gravity that's a globe not the Earth well a globe's a model of the Earth isn't it hey come on Simca the globe looks like a ball but the Earth is flat we walk on it the Earth also looks like a ball it's just a very very big one it's not true if the Earth is really round like you say then it would throw people right off of it like the globe does to me no it's just that the Earth pulls everyone towards it are you sure the planet that we live on the earth is a huge sphere 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 cause no is noting 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 laughs [Music] 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 the side got dark again and for me it's a new day all right fine you guys were right I believe you the Earth is spinning the earth goes round and round like a tilted spinning top and as it spins The Sun Shines its light on whichever half of the earth is facing it and as the earth makes one full turn we watch how the night becomes day and the day becomes night again it takes 24 hours for the earth to make one full turn but that's not all the Earth is also traveling in space around the Sun it takes the Earth 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 that's just 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 was gonna fall off this globe that's strange no like come on over here 4. you'll see in a second I don't want to you really don't want or you can't tell Thomas take a look I get it he stuck himself to the globe didn't he yeah with the chewing gum isn't it isn't it time to go uh-huh what we'll help him [Music] I never would have thunk it but to pull up chewing gum is even stronger than the Earth's gravity
