00:00:06.120 --> 00:00:11.480
Hi Friends, Welcome back to the
Hippo Campus Clubhouse, a fun and inclusive,

2
00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:18.320
sel based storytelling podcast for kids.
Aaron here and today we're discovering the

3
00:00:18.399 --> 00:00:26.199
exciting and super amazing power of science. We'll meet Libby, who loves science.

4
00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:32.119
In fact, it's because of science
that Libby loves to bake and create

5
00:00:32.240 --> 00:00:39.479
experiments, especially fizzy rainbow ones.
At school, Libby and her friends are

6
00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:43.920
put in charge of the science booth
for their school fare. But there's only

7
00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:49.560
one problem. The day of the
fair, no one is visiting their booth.

8
00:00:50.359 --> 00:00:56.119
Does everyone think science is boring?
Let's find out more by getting comfy,

9
00:00:56.200 --> 00:01:02.640
cozy, and ready to open our
hearts and minds with Libby Loves Science

10
00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:22.120
By Kimberly Dirting. Libby loves science. Libby loved science. She loved mixing,

11
00:01:22.439 --> 00:01:29.359
pouring, measuring and stirring. Whipping
up ingredients and making delicious things to

12
00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:36.760
eat was one of Libby's favorite ways
to experiment. Rainbow pancakes taste way better

13
00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:41.840
than plain ones, she told her
family, and sometimes it was true.

14
00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:47.560
At school, Libby's science teacher,
Mister Darwin, taught the class about chemistry.

15
00:01:48.319 --> 00:01:53.159
Libby loved chemistry because it's all about
mixing, pouring, measuring, and

16
00:01:53.359 --> 00:02:00.159
stirring. Not all chemical reactions occur
at the same right, said mister our

17
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:07.400
One. Oh, said Libby.
Let's like ours reacted too much as her

18
00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:15.360
experiment starts to bubble up over and
off the table. Remember your measurements need

19
00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:21.479
to be precise, said mister Darwin. It's okay. Mistakes can lead to

20
00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:29.280
discoveries, and sometimes making mistakes was
way more fun than cleaning up. One

21
00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:34.479
day, mister Darwin made an important
announcement. We are in charge of the

22
00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:40.000
science booth at our school's fall festival. He said. Everyone was excited.

23
00:02:40.599 --> 00:02:46.240
The fall festival was fun, and
Libby liked the science booth the best.

24
00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:53.080
Yay, we will have the best
booth ever, said Libby. This year,

25
00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:57.560
the booth that gets the most visitors
and collects the most tickets wins an

26
00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:01.719
ice cream party, said mister Darwin
one. We need volunteers to run our

27
00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:07.599
booth. Libby, Finn and Rosa
jumped up from their desks. We'll do

28
00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:13.280
it, said Libby. Libby,
Finn and Rosa met at Libby's house after

29
00:03:13.400 --> 00:03:19.639
school. We absolutely need to win, said Libby. Just imagine an ice

30
00:03:19.719 --> 00:03:24.719
cream party, huh. I love
ice cream, said Rosa. Competing with

31
00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:30.319
the Bounty House won't be easy,
though, said Finn. I think we

32
00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:34.599
can do really fun experiments that everyone
will want to try. Libby said.

33
00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:38.759
Cool, and we can decorated the
booth too, said Rosa. I have

34
00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:44.039
tons of our supplies, said Finn. We can make our booth really stand

35
00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:49.599
out and Libby. Finn and Rosa
searched for fun experiments. They made a

36
00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:55.479
list of possibilities and voted for their
three favorites. Finn decided to make giant

37
00:03:55.759 --> 00:04:03.159
bubbles with a hula hoop, Rosa
wanted to mix and make fluffy slime,

38
00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:12.560
and Libby chose to launch a giant
rocket. I can't wait for the festival,

39
00:04:12.960 --> 00:04:15.879
she said. When the day of
the festival finally arrived, a,

40
00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:20.120
Libby, Finn, and Rosa got
there early to help mister Darwin set up

41
00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:25.839
the science booth. Finn hault in
hula hoops, dish, soap, corn

42
00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:30.800
syrup, and a kiddie pool.
Rosa carried a basket of shaving creep glue,

43
00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:39.279
siline solution and glitter. Libby brought
baking soda, vinegar and a bunch

44
00:04:39.399 --> 00:04:45.319
of empty water bottles. They decorated
the booth with posters and signs and science

45
00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:50.240
stuff that they had made themselves.
When the festival opened, the cotton candy

46
00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:57.920
booth was swamped right away. The
line was down past the dunk tank,

47
00:04:58.199 --> 00:05:03.120
which was a huge hit, but
the face painting team was the one to

48
00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:10.279
beat. The festival crowded with friends
and families and teachers having fun, but

49
00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:15.720
no one was coming to the science
booth. Oh, no one's coming to

50
00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:21.079
our booth, said Finn. Maybe
everyone thinks science is boring, said Rosa.

51
00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:26.720
What science is never boring, said
Libby. We just need to show

52
00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:31.279
them that chemistry is fun. Oh
I know, Let's just blow some giant

53
00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:36.040
bubbles to get them excited, said
Finn. Yeah, the bigger the better,

54
00:05:36.319 --> 00:05:41.600
said Rosa. And Finn filled the
kittie pool with water while Rosa mixed

55
00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:47.040
in the soap. The secret ingredient
is corn syrup, Libby said. Yep,

56
00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:54.480
it makes bubbles a jillion time stronger, said Finn. Next, let's

57
00:05:54.480 --> 00:05:58.959
make some slime, said Rosa to
the small crown that had gathered to make

58
00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:04.879
bubbles. Extra glitter equals extra sparkle, added Finn. Is he dumped in

59
00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:12.480
half a jar into his It's important
to add the sailing just a little bit

60
00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:16.240
at a time, said Libby.
Yeah, that's what makes it extra squishy,

61
00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:23.879
said Rosa. Now for the grand
finale, said Rosa. Our rocket

62
00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:28.000
will be out of this world,
said Finn. Yeah, we're gonna win

63
00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:32.720
for sure, said Rosa. Okay, everyone, if we use extra baking

64
00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:38.600
soda, the rocket might go even
higher, said Libby. Isn't science a

65
00:06:38.680 --> 00:06:44.319
blast, said Rosa to the gathering
crowd. When Libby added the baking soda,

66
00:06:44.439 --> 00:06:48.199
the liquid inside started to bubble.
When the bottle filled up, the

67
00:06:48.360 --> 00:06:56.120
rocket zoomed high into the air.
Whosh. But then, even though the

68
00:06:56.199 --> 00:07:02.600
rocket went very high, unfortunately it's
sprayed liquid everywhere, all over the kids

69
00:07:02.600 --> 00:07:08.120
in the science booth, the kids
waiting in line for other booths, and

70
00:07:08.439 --> 00:07:14.759
all over the teachers and their things. It sprayed way more than Libby had

71
00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:21.360
predicted, and everyone got soaking wet
and ran away. Everybody left, and

72
00:07:21.439 --> 00:07:26.360
the face painting booth still has a
huge line. I don't think we have

73
00:07:26.480 --> 00:07:31.199
enough tickets. I'm sorry, guys, said Libby. I thought the rocket

74
00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:35.680
would be like really awesome. Yeah, but at least we did get a

75
00:07:35.680 --> 00:07:42.079
big reaction, said Rosa, as
they were all still soaking wet from the

76
00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:46.600
baking soda water mixture. The next
day, Principal Neil announced the winner of

77
00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:53.680
the Fall Festival booth contest over the
loud speaker of the school, the art

78
00:07:53.759 --> 00:08:01.199
Grown Party Ghost, the old Clock, their first curnting girl come one or

79
00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:09.040
a larmflard from gratulations our clock.
Everyone cheered, even Libby, who felt

80
00:08:09.079 --> 00:08:13.600
like she had let her science class
down. Mister Darwin called Libby, Finn

81
00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:18.399
and Rosa to his desk. You
three did such a great job on the

82
00:08:18.439 --> 00:08:24.800
booth, he said, But we
didn't win the ice cream party, mumbled

83
00:08:24.839 --> 00:08:28.600
Libby. Yeah, but that doesn't
mean we can't celebrate. How hard you

84
00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:33.279
tried, said mister Darwin. Any
ideas, Rosa got a big smile.

85
00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:39.240
Maybe we can have our own party. Yo. What kind of party?

86
00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:45.960
Said Finn? An ice cream party? And we can even make our own

87
00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:50.399
ice cream, Libby said as she
jumped up super excited. I've done this

88
00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:54.720
before. I know exactly what we
need. Libby wrote a list of ingredients

89
00:08:54.759 --> 00:09:00.240
on the board. Rosa barred sugar
from the teacher's lounge, Finn and to

90
00:09:00.279 --> 00:09:05.519
the cafeteria for ice, vanilla and
milk. Mister Darwin grabbed rock, salt,

91
00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:09.679
and freezer bags from his supply cabinet, and Libby walked the entire science

92
00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:15.039
class through the steps of the recipe. She even added lots of colors,

93
00:09:15.120 --> 00:09:20.960
because well, rainbow ice cream usually
tastes better than plain. When it was

94
00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:28.679
all finished, everyone enjoyed their delicious
bags of ice cream. This is delicious,

95
00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:35.480
said Finn. Sometimes the best reactions
are always the first reactions, said

96
00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:39.720
mister Darwin. Yeah, because ice
cream is so cool, said Rosa.

97
00:09:41.279 --> 00:10:00.120
Yeah, said Libby. And science
is cool too. The end, so

98
00:10:00.159 --> 00:10:05.919
it seems friends, Libby and her
friends used teamwork, creativity, and just

99
00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:13.120
a bit of chemistry to turn things
around and prove to everyone that science really

100
00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:18.279
is fun. Have you ever used
a fizzy bath bomb in the tub,

101
00:10:20.320 --> 00:10:26.759
or maybe made some really awesome cupcakes? What about blown some bubbles from a

102
00:10:26.840 --> 00:10:33.840
bubble mix and a wand or may
boop? Or maybe you have enjoyed some

103
00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:41.360
yummy ice cream. If you said
yes to any of these, then congratulations,

104
00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:50.240
you have enjoyed some awesome science experiments. You know what I loved best

105
00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:54.679
about this story is that even though
Libby and her team didn't win the school

106
00:10:54.720 --> 00:11:00.000
competition, they still found a way
to use their love of science to celebrate

107
00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:05.759
and make their own ice cream party, proving that just because your ideas may

108
00:11:05.799 --> 00:11:11.080
not be the most popular, it
doesn't mean you should ever stop having them

109
00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:20.320
or losing your desire to explore more
and more exciting ways to create and learn.

110
00:11:22.759 --> 00:11:26.799
