How Does Heat Change Things? | Full Episode | Sid the Science Kid | Cartoon for Kids

[00:00:02]Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for the one and only Sid. Yeah, woo.

[00:00:11]Well, thank you. Thank you. Hey there.

[00:00:14]Oh, Arnie, you're looking bigger, buddy.

[00:00:16]Easy on the dino burgers, huh?

[00:00:20]Dr. Beaks Sid, great to have you here, man.

[00:00:23]And it's great to have you here, too.

[00:00:26]>> [snorts] >> I smell pancakes cooking in the kitchen.

[00:00:30]That means it's pancake day.

[00:00:40]There's just one problem. When Mom makes pancakes, they come out too squishy.

[00:00:45]Instead of eating them with a fork, you need a spoon. Now, what's up with that?

[00:00:50]It's called a pancake, not pan soup. And my dad's pancakes, [music] oh boy, they need some serious help. I mean, they smell like pancakes, they look like pancakes, but they're always burnt, and they taste like chewy rocks.

[00:01:05]>> [music] >> Okay, so I've never actually eaten a chewy rock, but I'm guessing it doesn't taste so good.

[00:01:11]You know who makes the best, most awesome pancakes in the whole world? My grandma. Her pancakes aren't too squishy, [music] and they aren't too hard. They're just right.

[00:01:25]Hey, wait a minute. How come grandma's the only one who can make a fluffy, perfect pancake? I don't get it.

[00:01:34]What's the big idea with pancakes?

[00:01:39]How do you make the perfect pancake?

[00:01:45]>> Sid, breakfast time.

[00:01:47]>> Oh, breakfast [music] time.

[00:01:53]Breakfast time.

[00:01:55]>> [screaming] [crying] >> Hey, Sid. You ready for a breakfast?

[00:02:02]>> Oh, oh, Dad's one making pancakes. You know what that means?

[00:02:07]>> Limo.

[00:02:08]>> Dad, thanks for making pancakes and all, but um can I ask you a tough question?

[00:02:13]>> Uh of course you can. Ask away.

[00:02:16]>> Um if your pancakes start out as this soft, squishy batter, how come they end up so um black and hard?

[00:02:27]>> [laughter] >> Sid, sweetie, that is such a great question. I think it belongs in the question box.

[00:02:34]>> Ooh, the question [music] box is one of my favorite things ever. See, when I come up with a good question, Mom writes it down and puts it in the box.

[00:02:42]>> Why don't you try the pancakes I made?

[00:02:44]>> Oh, uh Mom, I got another tough question. Uh how come your pancakes turn out so uh gooey?

[00:02:52]>> Haha, [laughter] now that's an even better question, Sid.

[00:02:56]In fact, I think it belongs in the question box, too.

[00:03:01]>> [crying] >> Oh, hey Dad, I think Zeke wants a pancake.

[00:03:05]>> Oh, here you go, buddy.

[00:03:07]Eat up.

[00:03:14]>> Watch out, flying pancake.

[00:03:15]>> Mine.

[00:03:18]>> Tada.

[00:03:19]>> Nice catch, Mom.

[00:03:22]>> [laughter] >> My mom is awesome.

[00:03:26]>> [screaming] >> Thank you, Sid. Now, how about some breakfast?

[00:03:31]>> Oh, yeah, got to eat. Almost time for school.

[00:03:43]I love my mom.

[00:03:44]>> Uh-huh.

[00:03:45]>> My mom is cool.

[00:03:46]>> Uh-huh.

[00:03:47]>> But now it's time for having fun in school. Yeah.

[00:03:51]>> [laughter] >> I'm looking for my friends. I'm looking for you.

[00:04:08]There's Gabriella.

[00:04:10]>> Watch what I can do. La la woo!

[00:04:14]La la woo!

[00:04:16]Oh, yeah!

[00:04:18]Wow!

[00:04:19]>> I'm looking for my friends.

[00:04:21]I'm looking for you.

[00:04:23]Hey, there's Gerald.

[00:04:24]>> Yeah! Check out my moves.

[00:04:30]I'm a rock star!

[00:04:32]>> Cool.

[00:04:34]I'm looking for my friends. I'm looking for you.

[00:04:38]Hey, there's May.

[00:04:39]>> May I show you how I groove?

[00:04:42]La da da da.

[00:04:46]Yay!

[00:04:47]>> Groovy!

[00:04:49]>> We're looking for our friends. We're looking for you.

[00:04:53]Hey, there's Sid.

[00:04:54]>> Did you hear the one about the kid who wanted to know everything about everything?

[00:04:58]>> That's you!

[00:05:00]>> Okay, you got me.

[00:05:07]>> We're looking for our friends. And look what we found. We found each other.

[00:05:13]Friends!

[00:05:14]>> [screaming] >> And now it's time for the Sid Survey.

[00:05:25]Hello. I am Sid with today's survey. The question, what kind of pancakes do you like? Let's go get some answers.

[00:05:34]Hello, ma'am.

[00:05:35]>> Ma'am?

[00:05:36]>> Oh, um I mean, hello, pretty rainbow sparkly princess of the playground and ruler of all things climbable.

[00:05:45]>> Better.

[00:05:47]Now, what's your question?

[00:05:49]>> Oh, um what kind of pancakes do you like to eat?

[00:05:52]>> I like mine shaped like clouds with little bacon rainbows and blueberry decorations. I'm just not hungry if it isn't pretty.

[00:06:03]>> Scallion pancakes are my favorite.

[00:06:05]>> Hmm, what exactly are scallions?

[00:06:09]>> Green onions. Ooh. Scallion pancakes are especially good with a little plum sauce on the side.

[00:06:15]>> That sounds pretty good.

[00:06:16]>> Yeah, you can come over to my house for dinner and try them.

[00:06:20]>> Really?

[00:06:20]>> Sure. Sharing scallion pancakes is what friends do.

[00:06:25]>> You are a good friend, Mae.

[00:06:27]>> Thank you.

[00:06:28]>> I like syrup.

[00:06:29]>> Oh, god. And in this late-breaking news, we've learned that Gerald likes syrup.

[00:06:35]>> Yeah, lots and lots and lots of >> Okay.

[00:06:38]>> syrup.

[00:06:40]>> [laughter] >> And now, the results of my survey.

[00:06:44]Gabriella likes cloud-shaped pancakes.

[00:06:46]Mae likes her pancakes with uh scallions and plum sauce for dinner. And Gerald, well, Gerald likes syrup.

[00:06:57]Yes, Gerald likes syrup with a little bit of pancake on the side. There you have it. I am Sid, roving reporter and pancake expert.

[00:07:07]>> Everybody, rug time.

[00:07:10]>> Ooh, that's Teacher Suzy.

[00:07:12]>> It's rug time. Come on in. Rug time.

[00:07:15]Take a seat. Rug time. We're ready.

[00:07:18]Everybody, move your feet. Rug time.

[00:07:21]Teacher Suzy. Good times on the way. Rug time. Come on in. We've got a lot to learn today.

[00:07:29]>> Hop, hop, hop. I'm a bunny rabbit.

[00:07:33]I'm going to sit on you.

[00:07:35]I'm going to sit on you.

[00:07:37]>> Wait a minute.

[00:07:38]>> I'm going to squish you.

[00:07:40]>> On the rug, bunny rabbit.

[00:07:41]>> [laughter] >> So, who wants to share something with the class? A story? A song?

[00:07:47]>> Ooh, um I do.

[00:07:49]>> Okay, Sid.

[00:07:50]>> Everyone, I'm having pancake problems at home.

[00:07:54]>> Ooh, we're listening. What's the pancake problem?

[00:07:57]>> Well, I can't figure out how that liquidy batter stuff can turn into either a squishy goo cake or um burnt rock cake. I mean, why can't pancakes always be perfect and delicious like the ones Grandma makes?

[00:08:12]>> Maybe the stove is broken. My toy oven broke, and my mom fixed it.

[00:08:17]>> Yeah, or have you tried talking to your stove because maybe it's mad at the pancakes.

[00:08:23]>> Well, you're all on the right track thinking about the stove. Can anyone tell me what a stove does?

[00:08:30]>> Yes, it cooks things.

[00:08:32]>> Yeah, you can make brownies and stuff.

[00:08:35]>> A stove heats things up.

[00:08:38]>> All of you are right.

[00:08:39]>> Um yeah, but what does heat have to do with pancakes?

[00:08:43]>> Well, that's a great question, and I know the perfect place to investigate what heat does to things. Okay, scientists, you know where we're going?

[00:08:54]>> To the Super Fab Lab.

[00:08:56]>> That's right. So, grab your journals, and let's go.

[00:09:00]>> Okay.

[00:09:00]>> Okay.

[00:09:11]>> Super Fab Lab.

[00:09:13]>> Observe, compare, contrast.

[00:09:19]>> Today in the Super Fab Lab, we're going to find out how heat changes things. And we're going to do that by making applesauce.

[00:09:29]>> Yes.

[00:09:31]>> All right. Splish, splash, applesauce. I love applesauce.

[00:09:38]>> To make applesauce, we have to mash up the apples with our ingredients, water and cinnamon.

[00:09:46]>> Yum.

[00:09:46]>> Then, we'll mix everything together.

[00:09:50]>> This investigation sounds yummy.

[00:09:54]>> [laughter] >> First, we'll try mashing up the apples without cooking them. [music] Then, we'll heat up the apples on a stove and try to mix them again.

[00:10:05]>> What happens to the apples when we heat them up?

[00:10:08]>> Great question, Gabriella. It's your job to observe how the heat changes the apples.

[00:10:14]>> I think the apples will get softer when we heat them up.

[00:10:17]>> I don't think the apples will change at all.

[00:10:19]>> Well, there's only one way to find out.

[00:10:22]Let's put all these ingredients in the bowl and begin our investigation.

[00:10:27]>> Yeah, let's do it.

[00:10:29]>> Let's start it. This is exciting. Hey, you're a scientist. You can try this, too.

[00:10:35]>> It's time to make applesauce.

[00:10:37]>> [music] >> First, an adult will cut up apples into small pieces and then put the apples into a bowl and add our other ingredients, cinnamon and water.

[00:10:46]Now, try to mash the apples up and [music] mix everything together.

[00:10:51]Wow, it looks like it's not very easy to mash up the apples.

[00:10:57]Keep trying.

[00:11:02]Now, an adult is [music] going to put the same uncooked apples in a pot and place the pot on a stove and heat it up.

[00:11:13]>> [music] >> Let's use our eyes to observe what happens.

[00:11:17]Can you see how the heat changes the apples? [music] Now, the apples look really soft.

[00:11:23]Next, we'll pour the apples back into the bowl and you can try mashing up the apples again.

[00:11:29]Wow, it's much easier now that the apples have heated. [music] Now, draw your observations in your journals.

[00:11:36]How did the apples look before we heated them?

[00:11:39]Think about how the apples changed [music] after we heated them up.

[00:11:44]Now that we're done with our investigation, we can all enjoy our delicious [music] applesauce.

[00:11:52]>> It was hard to mash up the apples before we cooked them. And I'm pretty strong.

[00:11:57]>> Yeah, but then the heat changed the apples and made them all soft and mushy.

[00:12:04]>> And then we could make applesauce.

[00:12:06]Sweet, delicious applesauce.

[00:12:10]>> Great observations, scientists.

[00:12:13]>> Science is yummy.

[00:12:16]>> [laughter] >> Wait. Wait. I think I'm confused. When my dad's pancakes were heated up a lot, they became really hard and burnt. They didn't become mushy like the apples.

[00:12:27]>> Great observation, Sid. So, the heat changed the apples and made them soft.

[00:12:33]And it changed your dad's pancakes and made them hard and burnt. So, what do you think heat does to things?

[00:12:41]>> Um It changes things.

[00:12:46]>> Exactly. And there are lots of different ways heat changes things.

[00:12:50]>> Wow. Can we please change the mushy apples back into uncooked apples and make applesauce all over again?

[00:12:58]>> Oh, I'd do it if I could, Sid. But once apples are heated into mushy apples, they can't be changed back into raw apples. This is called irreversible change.

[00:13:09]>> Oh. Okay.

[00:13:11]Oh. Wait. Can we do this investigation again another day?

[00:13:15]>> Absolutely. Now, let's take a look at your journal to see what observations you made. Gerald, can we see your journal?

[00:13:23]>> Yeah. Okay. Um so, we put all this stuff into a bowl and then we tried to mash it up like this. Um mash mash mash and then um the apples wouldn't mash. So, okay, then we uh heated up the apples and they got soft. Yeah. And then we could mash mash mash them and we made applesauce.

[00:13:49]>> [laughter] >> Nice observations, Gerald.

[00:13:51]>> Thank you.

[00:13:52]>> Now, Sid, can we see your journal?

[00:13:53][music] >> Oh, sure. I wrote every step down so I can make applesauce at home with my mom and dad. Uh first we got all this stuff, >> [music] >> ingredients, apples, and water, and some brown powder that made me sneeze. It's called um cinnamon-onium, something like that.

[00:14:12]And uh it all went into a bowl. Whee!

[00:14:15]Then Susie, oh that's you, of course, um heated up the apples with the ingredients and the apples got really [music] mushy. And then we mixed it all together.

[00:14:26]And then we had applesauce.

[00:14:29]So, I'm going to make applesauce at home with my parents.

[00:14:32]>> Me, too.

[00:14:33]>> Okay, and then I'll come over to both your houses and eat the applesauce when you're done.

[00:14:40]>> [laughter] >> I'm so proud of all my scientists. Okay, it's time for [music] playtime.

[00:14:45]>> Yeah!

[00:14:46]>> Yeah, come on.

[00:14:47]>> Okay.

[00:14:48]>> All right.

[00:14:51]>> Hey, Sid. I just made up a new game. Do you want to play?

[00:14:54]>> Oh, you bet I do.

[00:14:56]>> [laughter] >> May makes up the best [music] games.

[00:14:59]>> Okay. Now, look on the ground. We're in the shade and it's nice and cool. But over there, where the sun is shining, we're going to pretend the sun heated up the ground so much that it feels really really hot.

[00:15:10]>> Okay. All right, I'm ready. Let's go.

[00:15:13]>> Okay. 1 2 3 Ow, that was hot.

[00:15:20]Back to the shade. Back to the shade.

[00:15:21]Back to the shade.

[00:15:23]>> Oh boy.

[00:15:25]Ooh, oh that's better. Back to the hot side, come on.

[00:15:28]>> I love it.

[00:15:29]>> Oh, back to the shade, back to the shade.

[00:15:31]Back to Much better.

[00:15:35]>> Okay, watch this. I'm going to go way out now. Here I go. Okay.

[00:15:38]>> Hold on.

[00:15:39]>> It's so hot. It's so hot. Oh, save me.

[00:15:41]Help.

[00:15:41]>> Hold on. I'm coming.

[00:15:47]>> Oh, so hot.

[00:15:49]>> Wow.

[00:15:51]>> Great game, May.

[00:15:52]>> Thanks, Sid. Come on, let's go play something else over here.

[00:15:54]>> Yeah.

[00:15:56]I told you May makes up the best games.

[00:15:59]I'm coming.

[00:16:01]It's time for >> Good luck to you.

[00:16:09]A waiter.

[00:16:10]>> Yeah.

[00:16:11]>> I want a pancake, but I'm in a hurry.

[00:16:14]Will it be long?

[00:16:16]>> No, silly. It'll be round, just like all the other pancakes.

[00:16:22]>> [laughter] >> Knock, knock.

[00:16:27]>> Who's there?

[00:16:28]>> Turnip.

[00:16:29]>> Turnip who?

[00:16:30]>> Ask your dad to turn up the heat on the stove. It's time to make pancakes.

[00:16:38]>> I love turnip.

[00:16:40]Knock, knock.

[00:16:42]>> Sid, you know you don't have to knock.

[00:16:44]Come on in and I'll give you a big hug.

[00:16:46]>> Oh, um yeah, that's not necessary.

[00:16:48]>> You're my best friend.

[00:16:50]>> You're my best friend, too.

[00:16:54]>> [laughter] >> Now, that's funny.

[00:16:59]>> [laughter] >> Okay, ready?

[00:17:04]>> Okay, here we go.

[00:17:06]>> And now >> It's time >> for Suzy >> to sing.

[00:17:11]>> Go, Suzy.

[00:17:16]>> [laughter] >> Oh, why, thank you.

[00:17:21]You know, all this talk about heat does remind me of a song.

[00:17:32]>> Welcome to the Cooking [music] is Chemistry Show. Step into the kitchen where the scientists go. Today we're talking about a favorite [music] from coast to coast. Pancakes are what we love most. A pancake that brings breakfast satisfaction is made by a red [music] hot chemical reaction.

[00:17:52]Once the heat from the stove does what it does, a pancake can't [music] go back to the way it was.

[00:18:00]>> No way.

[00:18:01]>> Today on the Cooking is [music] Chemistry [singing] Show, heat equals energy, that's good to know.

[00:18:07]The transfer of heat from the stove to the pan cooks a pancake, you know that it can.

[00:18:12]Once you learn a fact, >> [music] >> it cannot be unlearned.

[00:18:17]Once you burn a pancake, it cannot be unburned.

[00:18:27]>> Mhm, you're toasting a fluffy marshmallow way out on the range. If'n you burn it [singing] on the campfire, mhm, it won't be fluffy anymore.

[00:18:45]>> That's irreversible change, partner.

[00:18:48]>> Welcome to the Cooking is Chemistry [music] Show, where something's always cooking, you know. Today we're talking about a favorite [music] from coast to coast. [singing] We're changing bread into toast.

[00:18:58]Once you learn a fact, it cannot be unlearned.

[00:19:03]Once you burn a piece of toast, it cannot be unburned. So long from the Cooking is Chemistry Show. Goodbye from the kitchen where the scientists go.

[00:19:12][music and singing] Irreversible change is something you know on the Cooking is Chemistry Show.

[00:19:18]See you next time on the Cooking is Chemistry Show.

[00:19:28]>> That was great, Judy.

[00:19:30]That was awesome.

[00:19:32]>> Thank you.

[00:19:33]>> Great, but um hold on a second.

[00:19:36]Heat changes things. Right. So, that means Mom's pancakes are all soft and liquidy because she doesn't keep them on the stove long enough.

[00:19:47]>> You got it.

[00:19:48]>> Aha. And Dad's pancakes get burnt because >> they're on the stove too long.

[00:19:58]>> You figured it out. Great job, scientists.

[00:20:03]>> Thank you.

[00:20:05]>> Okay, scientists, it's time to go home.

[00:20:08]Follow me. Come on.

[00:20:12]>> Now, where's my seat?

[00:20:14]>> Right here, Grandma.

[00:20:21]>> Now, okie dokie, let's roll.

[00:20:24]>> Let's roll.

[00:20:33]Back [music] seat driving with Grandma.

[00:20:38]>> All righty, kiddo. So, tell me, how was school today?

[00:20:42]>> Grandma, it was the best. I learned why your pancakes are so much better than Mom's or Dad's.

[00:20:51]It's about the heat.

[00:20:53]>> Exactly.

[00:20:55]Now, let me tell you the best way to make a pancake.

[00:20:59]When I make pancakes, I use a big old iron skillet.

[00:21:04]It's not fancy, but it's tough and it gets the job done, just like me.

[00:21:09]>> [laughter] >> Now, here's the secret to my pancakes.

[00:21:14]I make sure the heat is just right on the stove. Not too high, not too low.

[00:21:19]Then I pour in the batter and closely observe it to wait for the bubbles to form on top.

[00:21:26]That's how I know the pancakes are ready to flip. And I'm a pretty good flipper, too.

[00:21:32]And that's how I make my perfect pancakes.

[00:21:35]>> Mhm. Hey, can we have some of those perfect pancakes for afternoon snack?

[00:21:41]>> Why not? Whoever said you can't have pancakes in the afternoon?

[00:21:45]>> Not me.

[00:21:46]>> [laughter] >> My grandma is the best.

[00:21:53]I learned something cool something cool today. I know it upside down and inside out. I learned all about heat.

[00:22:07]Who's scientist in the house?

[00:22:10]>> [applause and music] >> Yeah.

[00:22:12]>> [screaming] >> I'm stirring the batter.

[00:22:16]>> Okay. Now, sit. I'm going to put some of that batter in the frying pan.

[00:22:20]>> Ooh. Oh boy, these pancakes are going to be so good.

[00:22:24]>> You bet you. Go now, stay back from the stove. It's hot.

[00:22:27]>> Okay.

[00:22:28]>> Okay. Now, what did I say was the most important part of making a perfect pancake?

[00:22:33]>> Um the heat.

[00:22:35]>> And?

[00:22:36]>> Oh, um observe. Observe, yeah. Wait, hold on.

[00:22:43]I see that the pancake is indeed being changed by the heat.

[00:22:49]The edges are [music] browning.

[00:22:51]It's It's changing. Changing.

[00:22:55]The bubbles are forming. Ooh, it's time to flip. Flip flip flip flip flip it.

[00:22:58]>> Okay. Okay.

[00:23:00]There.

[00:23:01]>> Yes.

[00:23:02]Folks, we have light and fluffy pancakes.

[00:23:07]>> [applause] >> I can't wait until the next time Mom and Dad make pancakes cuz I'm going to help.

[00:23:16]Now, [music] you and I know the secret.

[00:23:19]It's about the heat.

[00:23:22]Hey.

[00:23:23]Grandma uses a pan to make pancakes.

[00:23:25]Hmm, I wonder what I could make with a super duper big pan.

[00:23:29]Ooh. Okay, I've got it. Here's my super duper uper schmuper big idea.

[00:23:36]If I had a really, really, really big pan one bigger than our whole house, I'd show everyone how heat changes things, great big delicious [music] things, like the biggest chunk of chocolate in the world.

[00:23:50]Maybe even a giant chocolate mountain.

[00:23:53]And then I'd put that big old chunk of chocolate mountain into my big, big pan and I'd find something to heat it up and melt it, like the sun. Yeah, the sun's heat would change the giant chunk of chocolate into a melted pool of chocolate. I could have a chocolate pool party. And I'd have rafts made out of strawberries and slides made of bananas.

[00:24:14]And then we'd eat the pool party. Yum.

[00:24:17]Hooray for heat. And that's my super duper uper schmuper [music] big idea.

[00:24:25]>> [applause] >> Thank you. Thank you very much. Yeah.

[00:24:31]Whoop cow.

[00:24:33]Oh, yeah. I am Sid the science kid.

[00:24:42]And remember, keep asking what's and lots of questions. See you later, scientists.

[00:24:48]Woo.

[00:24:53]>> [music] >> Observe, compare, [screaming] contrast.

[00:24:59]Ah.

[00:25:02]>> Hey, I know how to observe, compare, and contrast, and I bet you do, too.

[00:25:07]Observe, that's when [music] you look really closely at something and listen to it, maybe even smell it and feel it.

[00:25:14]Compare, that's when you look at two things and think about how they're the same. Contrast, that's when you observe things and think about what's different about them.

[00:25:25]Hey, scientists, there's lots more amazing science coming your way. My friends and I will learn how to use science tools, investigate how things change, discover our senses, and explore how to keep our bodies healthy. So, come join me, Sid the Science [music] Kid.
