[bright music] - Hi, everyone.

My name is Krystal.

And I'm here at the Brooklyn Preschool of Science.

I'm with my friend, Sahil.

Sahil, can you please say hello?

- Hello.

- How you doing today?

- Great.

- Awesome.

Great, I love that.

Okay.

So today, I would like to talk about transportation.

[bright music] Transportation is the movement of people and things from one place to another.

Sahil, how did you come to school today?

Did you take a plane?

Did you take, - I take a stroller.

- The stroller?

- Yeah.

- Oh, okay.

So you walk to school?

- No, I sit in the stroller.

- You sit in the stroller?

And who pushes you?

- I think it's my mom.

- Oh, your mom.

Oh, okay.

Do you know how I get to school every day?

- Yeah.

- I live in Staten Island, and I travel to Brooklyn.

So I take a bus, then I take a boat, and then I take the train, and then I walk to work every day.

- Oh.

- Yeah.

So do you know that we are going to make a transportation vehicle?

We're gonna make something that can transport, hmm, this marker from one place to another.

Are you ready?

- Yeah.

- Let's look at our materials.

Okay?

So I have, what are these?

- Markers?

- We have some markers.

This?

- Tape.

- Tape.

We have some hard candy here.

- Hard candy.

- Yes.

What are these?

- Cups.

- Cups.

- Straws.

- Straws.

We have some stickers here, card stock paper, and a hot glue gun.

You guys, when you're doing this activity, please make sure you do it with a trusted adult, okay?

So now there are many means of transportation.

There's so many actually.

I have some pictures here.

So I'm gonna show you the picture, and Sahil, you tell me what it is, okay?

- Okay.

- First is, oh.

- Oh.

Bicycle.

- Bicycle.

Okay.

Let's see what's next.

- A truck.

- Truck.

Okay.

[truck revving] Let's see what's next.

- Helicopter.

- Helicopter.

[Krystal imitates helicopter] [helicopter humming] Okay.

And next is?

- A bus.

- Beep.

Beep.

A bus.

Let's see what's next.

Oh.

[water splashing] - A boat.

- Yes, a sailboat.

[water splashing] Okay, let's see what's next.

And, oh, vroom, vroom, vroom.

- [Sahil] A car.

- That's right.

Okay, let's see what's next.

Oh.

- A motorcycle.

- Motorcycle.

[motorcycle humming] And oh, chugga, chugga?

- Train.

- Choo choo.

[train honking] Train.

And last?

Oh.

[Krystal gurgling] [water splashing] Submarine.

- [Sahil] Submarine.

- Yes.

Okay.

So now, are you ready to make our vehicle?

But you know what we're gonna call it?

We're gonna call it a puff car.

- Puff car.

- Yes.

Okay.

So first thing we're gonna do is we're gonna take a piece of card stock paper, okay?

- Okay.

- And now, step one is fold it in half like this.

And then we're going to, maybe I should have had a scissor.

Okay.

So friends at home, you can use a scissor.

Or what I'm going to do right now, I'm just gonna, [paper ripping] rip the paper just like this.

Ta da.

And now that you have two halves, you're gonna put one down, and you're gonna take one half, and you're gonna fold it again.

Okay?

Just like that.

And if you have scissors, you can cut it in half, if not, you'd just rip it apart, which I'm gonna do right now.

Ready?

[paper ripping] Awesome.

There you go.

So I have my card stock here.

And now, friends at home, please make a design and take your time.

You can use markers.

You can use crayons.

You can use some stickers.

And then you're gonna color your cardstock paper.

Okay?

I actually have some already here, you see with these designs?

- Cars.

- Yeah.

So some polka dots, some stripes, and some fun stickers here.

Okay?

So Sahil, which would you like to use for our puff car?

All right.

Stickers.

Okay.

So that, and now we're going, what we're gonna do is we're going to take one straw.

- Straw.

- And we're going to take two of the hard candies.

Friends at home, make sure that they're round, they need to have that hole in the middle.

They look like wheels, right?

- Yes.

- Yeah.

So this will be the wheel and the axle.

Okay?

So I'm gonna show you how to do it.

I need your help, Sahil.

- Okay.

- Could you please hold this piece of tape for me?

Okay.

I am gonna take one wheel.

I'm gonna put it inside, just like this.

And can I please have the tape?

And the tape is gonna be kind of like a bolt.

- And sticky.

- It'll keep it in place.

That's right.

Can I have another piece of tape, Sahil, please?

- Yeah.

- I should have put 'em on your side, but okay.

Thank you, sir.

And now we want to make sure that the wheel does not fall off, you see?

Okay.

So that's step number one.

Okay?

This is where the adult helps you.

Okay?

You're gonna, the adult is going to take the hot glue gun, and they're just gonna put some glue, a straight line from one end to the other.

Okay?

I'm gonna show you.

Let me just put my wheel and axle down here.

I'm gonna squeeze some glue out.

See that?

- Yeah.

- You see, I'm just gonna make a straight line across.

Okay, and now I'm gonna take the axle, and I'm gonna put it right where the glue is, just like that, and I'm gonna press down.

Can we do a countdown from 10 to one?

- Yeah.

- 10, - 10, - [Both] Nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, - And one, good job.

- One.

- Perfect.

So now we have the axle and one wheel.

What's missing on the other side?

- Another wheel.

- That's right.

Thank you.

Can you please get that wheel for me?

I'm gonna pass you some pieces of tape here.

And when I ask you to, can you pass me the tape?

All right, Sahil.

Okay.

So may I have the wheel please?

Thank you.

I'm gonna pop that wheel in, just like that.

And now can I have some tape, please?

Thank you, sir.

I'm gonna wrap the tape around.

This is just like a bolt.

It keeps it in place.

Can I please have another piece of tape?

Thank you so much.

Okie dokie.

All right.

Look at that.

Whoa.

So now we're gonna do the same thing that we just did to the other side, okay?

And now we have our body.

You see we have wheels, axles, and now we need to add the cup.

- Cup.

- Yeah.

So you see this cup right here?

So I'm gonna take some hot glue, put it around, just like that.

Let's see.

Okay.

Now I'm gonna press it down here.

Okay.

So now, kind of like how the sailboat works, when the wind hits the sail, it moves the boat, right?

- Yes.

- Okay, so now we call this our puff car, because we are going to use our breath.

We're gonna blow.

Okay?

Now, I want you to aim, this is your target.

The cup is your target.

Okay?

And I want you to take a deep breath.

[Krystal inhales] [Krystal exhales] Whoa.

[pair laughing] Blow.

[Sahil exhaling] [Krystal cheering] [Sahil exhaling] Yeah!
