Hey Grown Ups, this episode of Wow in the

0:02

World is brought to you by Huggy's Little Movers.

0:05

Huggy's knows that babies come in

0:07

all shapes and sizes, and parents

0:09

know that there's nothing worse than

0:11

an ill-fitting diaper, especially on an

0:13

active baby. Phew!

0:15

Huggy's Little Movers offer 12-hour protection against

0:17

leaks, and are curved to fit all

0:20

curves. So your babies will feel comfy

0:22

no matter how much they move around.

0:24

And they do tend to move around. A lot.

0:27

Get your baby's butt into the best-fitting

0:29

diaper. Huggy's Little Movers. We got you,

0:31

baby. Hey,

0:36

Wowser fans, the summer of wow

0:38

is here. And all summer long,

0:40

we'll be sharing weekly Find Your

0:42

Wow missions for you to do

0:44

at home. And this week's mission

0:46

is all about water. We

0:48

challenge you to create your own tiny

0:51

ecosystem in a jar. You'll need a

0:53

clear glass jar with a lid

0:55

and water collected from three

0:58

different outdoor water sources like

1:00

a pond, a puddle, and

1:02

a stream. Just combine the

1:04

water in the jar, screw the lid

1:06

on tight, and place it in a

1:09

sunny spot where you can watch as

1:11

your tiny ecosystem begins to form. Oh,

1:14

and don't forget to give it a name. And

1:16

once you complete this mission, there's more!

For the kids and kids at heart who

1:41

can't get enough of outer space, there's

1:43

now a whole new collection of space-themed

1:45

LEGO building sets entering your orbit. From

1:48

models of historic engineering wonders to outer

1:50

space roller coasters, there is a perfect

1:53

LEGO set for everyone on Earth. And

1:55

get this, a new global study by the LEGO Group

1:57

found that 86% of kids are

2:00

interested in finding new planets, stars, and galaxies,

2:02

and 77% want to travel to space. Fortunately,

2:06

there are plenty of out-of-this-world LEGO

2:08

sets to explore in the meantime,

2:10

like the LEGO City Explorer rover

2:12

and the LEGO Creator astronaut, and

2:15

for the more advanced builders, sets

2:17

like the LEGO Technic NASA Apollo

2:19

Lunar Roving Vehicle. Discover the wonders

2:21

of the final frontier, one LEGO

2:23

brick at a time. Visit amazon.com/LEGO

2:25

space to see the full collection.

2:30

This goes over

2:35

here. And

2:38

that one goes over there. There

2:41

we go. Hey Mindy, what

2:43

are you up to? Oh, hey GuyRods. Just

2:46

doing a little organizing. Wanna

2:48

help? Uh, yes. You know,

2:50

not to brag, but I have

2:52

received 23 Organizer of the Year

2:54

Awards, all of which are perfectly

2:56

organized in my living room. I

2:58

knew you were the GuyRods for the

3:01

job. So what should we go through

3:03

first? Your clothes? Your books? Uh,

3:05

nope and no-ber. I'm organizing

3:08

my sounds. Your sounds? Yep.

3:11

I noticed I had all kinds of sounds

3:13

all over my house, so I decided to

3:15

sort them all by pitch. Oh,

3:18

so by how high or how low

3:20

they are? Exactoritos. First

3:23

up, the bell on my roller skates.

3:25

Your roller skates have a bell? Oh, yeah. Otherwise,

3:28

I have to yell, everybody watch

3:30

out! I don't know how to skate!

3:33

Go on, give it a ding. Oh,

3:36

yeah, that goes in my high pitch sounds.

3:38

Okay, now my foghorn. That

3:42

one goes with the low pitch sounds for sure.

3:45

Uh, where should I put this slide whistle?

3:48

Uh, good question. You know what? Let's decide

3:50

that later, because right now, we have a

3:52

game show to do. Oh, good point,

3:54

uh. Put it in the microphone, turn off

3:56

the speakers, get ready to break

3:59

the... Sound barrier in 3... 2...

4:01

1... And

4:05

now, for everyone's second favorite game show

4:07

after laughing so hard, you pee a

4:09

little... It's 2-1 and the

4:11

1-0! It

4:22

is a dry rock! And

4:28

what's the word? Welcome

4:35

there, boulders! It's time for another

4:38

ear-splitting round of 2-1 and a

4:40

wow! 2-1

4:42

and a wow! The scientific game

4:44

show that separates the wows from

4:47

the what! And the

4:49

category for today is... Sound!

4:52

Maybe why don't you refresh our contestants

4:54

on how the game works? You

4:57

know it! Wowsers, we are going to present

4:59

you with three scientific statements

5:01

about sound, but...

5:04

This is a big but! Only

5:07

one of those statements will be a

5:09

true wow! The other two? Just

5:11

a couple of made up! What?! Okay,

5:15

let's get started! Which

5:18

of the following statements about

5:20

sound is the true scientific

5:22

wow? Is it A? The

5:25

first sound ever recorded was

5:27

the song Mary Had a

5:29

Little Lamp. Or is it

5:32

B? Sound travels faster

5:34

through solid than it does through

5:36

air. Or is

5:38

it C? Only very

5:40

high pitched sounds can be

5:43

heard in outer space. When

5:45

you think you have the answer, we have the magic

5:48

toy! We're going to take

5:50

a quick break to give you a

5:53

chance to think, and when we come

5:55

back, we'll find out if your wow

5:57

is the winning wow! Do what's an

5:59

allow? We'll be right back. Grownups,

6:02

this message is for you. Hey

6:05

Grownups, it's Guy Roz and Mindy here from

6:07

Wow and the World with some exciting news

6:09

for you. That's right,

6:11

6:13

7:00

That's it! Now back

7:03

to the show! Okay, Wilders,

7:08

time is up. Time

7:10

to reveal the winning round.

7:17

But before we do, let's do

7:19

a quick review. We gave you

7:21

three scientific statements about sound

7:23

and challenged you to guess which

7:26

one was the one true wow.

7:28

Was it A? The first

7:31

sound ever recorded was the song,

7:33

Mary Had a Little Lamb. Or

7:35

was it B? Sound

7:38

travels faster through solids than it

7:40

does through air. Or

7:42

was it C? Only

7:45

very high pitched sounds can be

7:47

heard in outer space. And

7:50

joining us by phone is Hadley and

7:52

Paper from O'Calla. Paper,

7:56

what's the wow? I'm named

7:58

Ian Dyer. My wow

8:00

in the world is that noise travels faster

8:02

through solids than it does through air. Winner

8:05

winner and no, we four- If

8:28

you guessed A or C, you weren't too

8:30

far off. We

8:39

used to think that the first recorded

8:41

sound was a recording of Mary Had

8:43

a Little Lamb from 1877. But

8:47

in 2008, scientists found

8:49

a recording from

8:51

1860 of a different

8:54

song called, A la Claire de

8:56

la Lou. Sound needs particles to

8:58

travel through the air. And since particles are few and

9:00

far between in space, there is no sound

9:02

for humans to hear. Now,

9:04

Guy-Ras, why don't you tell our winning

9:06

rounders what they want? In the end, all

9:08

of our winning contestants today will

9:11

be taking home their very own

9:14

invisible megaphone.

9:26

That's right, Guy-Ras, the invisible

9:28

megaphone with three amazing invisible

9:30

settings. Wow, too loud, too

9:33

loud, too many, too loud.

9:38

Well,

9:40

that's about all the time we have

9:42

for today, but before we go, we

9:44

have one last scientific

9:46

challenge for you. We call

9:49

it Operation See What You

9:51

Hear. Sounds

9:53

are vibrations, and strong vibrations

9:55

can make things move. With

9:58

a grown-up's health, we shall... you

10:00

to stretch plastic wrap over the

10:02

top of a mixing bowl. Make

10:05

sure you get a really tight

10:07

seal. Place a few

10:09

grains of rice on top of

10:11

the plastic. Then put a speaker

10:14

next to the bowl. Put on

10:16

your favorite song and watch the

10:18

rice boogie. Try turning the volume

10:20

up or down and observe

10:22

what makes the rice move more and

10:25

why. And don't forget to take a photo

10:27

or a video of your dancing life. We're

10:30

going to upload pictures and

10:32

videos to us at tinkercast.com

10:34

10:36
