Transcript

00:00Oh, oh, oh, oh, hi! Welcome to Sesame Street.

00:04Oh, Elmo and his friends are just playing tag.

00:07Tag!

00:08No, no, no, no, no! Elmo's gonna get hurt!

00:11We're back here! We're back!

00:13Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

00:16These are my class's science experiments!

00:19Wow! The kids in Gordon's class do science experiments?

00:23Oh, yeah, yeah. My students are great scientists.

00:26Wait a minute.

00:27Yeah?

00:28You mean to tell me that kids can be scientists?

00:31Of course. Anybody can be a scientist.

00:34Even Elmo can be a scientist?

00:36Absolutely.

00:38You just need to be able to ask questions.

00:40Yeah?

00:41And investigate.

00:42Investigate?

00:44Yeah, well, that means that you do things that will help you find the answers to your questions.

00:49Wow! Well, Elmo likes asking questions.

00:52Oh, and Elmo loves to investigate, too!

00:55Yeah, yeah, yeah! Me, too!

00:56Yeah!

00:57Well, that means you can all be scientists.

01:00Then let's do it!

01:01Si! Let's be scientists!

01:03Yeah!

01:04We're happy to explore!

01:06We'll observe that and this!

01:07We'll investigate new things!

01:09We're happy scientists!

01:10We'll ask some happy questions!

01:11Our answers will exist!

01:13We'll learn lots of happy things!

01:14We're happy scientists!

01:15We're happy, happy, happy, happy, happy scientists!

01:18Okay, Gordon. What can the happy scientists investigate?

01:24Well, just look around and see if there's anything on Sesame Street that you might have questions about.

01:30Okay!

01:32Does anybody have any questions about street signs?

01:36No.

01:38Hmm. Anyone have any questions about a mailbox?

01:43No.

01:46Oh! Oh, look! Look at that! Leela is giving Berkeley a bath!

01:51Hey! Maybe we can ask a question about dogs!

01:55Or baths!

01:57Oh, Elmo just thought of a question!

01:59Oh, what is it, Elmo?

02:00Well, the question is, does everyone on Sesame Street take a bath?

02:04Great question!

02:06Thank you!

02:07What should the happy scientists do next, Gordon?

02:10Well, next you come up with a hypothesis.

02:13Hypopotamus?

02:14No, no, no, no, hypothesis.

02:16It means a guess based on what you already know.

02:20Oh!

02:22We'll make a happy guess called a hypothesis.

02:25That is what you do when you're a happy scientist.

02:28We're happy, happy, happy, happy, happy scientists!

02:31Okay, so what does Elmo know?

02:34Elmo and all his friends take baths, right?

02:37Right!

02:38And Gordon takes a bath, right?

02:40I do!

02:41Hmm, so Elmo guesses that everyone on Sesame Street does take a bath!

02:46Okay, then that is your hypothesis, Elmo.

02:49That is my hypothesis.

02:53Hypothesis two, everyone takes a bath.

02:56Okay, now what about you, Telly?

02:58I'm not so sure that everybody takes a bath, so I'll say no.

03:03I don't think everyone on Sesame Street takes a bath.

03:06Okay, so now you have to test your hypothesis and find the answer.

03:11But Gordon, how do the happy scientists do that?

03:15You investigate and put everything you find out in a journal.

03:20Oh!

03:21Like this!

03:23Oh!

03:25We'll draw some happy pictures.

03:27We'll make a happy list.

03:28We'll keep a happy journal.

03:30We're happy scientists.

03:31They're happy, happy, happy, happy, happy scientists!

03:34Come on, happy scientists!

03:36Let's investigate and find out if everyone on Sesame Street takes a bath!

03:41Investigate!

03:44Investigate!

03:45What?

03:48Well, those are some happy scientists.

03:59Hi, Chris!

04:01What are you guys doing in my bathroom?

04:04We're watching you, Chris!

04:06Watching me?

04:07Why?

04:08Well, all in the name of science, Chris.

04:11Elmo's telling Rosita I'm a scientist.

04:14Okay, well, can you scientists hurry this up?

04:17I'm kind of in the middle of something.

04:18Hey, look!

04:19He is in the middle of something!

04:21Chris is in the middle of a bathtub!

04:24Yes! Yes!

04:25And he's got sudsy bubbles all over him!

04:29Scientist Elmo thinks that Chris takes a bath!

04:33Yes!

04:34Yes!

04:35That's right, guys.

04:36Yes, I take a bath.

04:37Now, can I please get some privacy?

04:39In a second, Chris.

04:40In a second.

04:41First, we have to draw a picture of you in the tub.

04:43A picture of me?

04:44Like this?

04:45Oh, yes.

04:46See?

04:47In the name of science, Chris!

04:48Yes, science.

04:49Oh, fine.

04:50But hurry it up before all my bubbles pop.

04:52Chris takes a bath and now he's on a happy list.

04:55We're investigating it.

04:56We're the happy scientists.

04:57The happy, happy, happy, happy, happy scientists.

05:01Okay, okay, happy scientists.

05:03Let's go investigate some more!

05:05Investigate!

05:10Bye, Chris!

05:14I really got to put a lock on that bathroom door.

05:25Uh, what you staring at?

05:28Don't mind us, kitty.

05:30We're scientists.

05:31Oh, well, if you're scientists, I guess it's okay.

05:39Phew!

05:40It's licking its foot!

05:42Oh, good investigating, Kelly.

05:44Thank you, but why is it licking its foot?

05:47That's just gross!

05:48Well, it looks like it's cleaning itself.

05:51With its tongue?

05:52No way!

05:53Well, yeah, maybe this is the way that the cat takes a bath.

05:57No, no, no, it can't be!

05:59Actually, the cute little red scientist is right.

06:03I am, in fact, taking a bath.

06:06With your tongue?

06:08Yep, it's how we cats keep clean.

06:11Now, can you stop watching me while I bathe?

06:13It's kind of freaking my kibbles out.

06:15Oh, si, señor Gato.

06:16As soon as we do this.

06:18We draw your picture, right, Kelly?

06:20Yep, yep, I got it, I got it.

06:22And as soon as we do this.

06:23Hit it!

06:24Cats take a tongue bath.

06:26We're added to our list.

06:27We're finding out so many things.

06:28We're happy scientists.

06:30We're happy, happy, happy, happy, happy scientists.

06:33Now, come on, happy scientists.

06:35Let's keep investigating!

06:37Investigating!

06:40Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm trying to take my bath.

06:45You're sure that's a bath?

06:46Yes, I'm sure.

06:47All right, I'm watching you.

06:48Right.

06:58Look, happy scientists, a sparrow!

07:01Oh, look, that sparrow is flopping around in the dust.

07:06I wonder why he's doing that.

07:08All I know is that a bird who rolls in dust like that

07:12couldn't possibly be a bird who takes a bath.

07:15So my hypothesis is correct.

07:17Not everyone on Sesame Street takes a bath.

07:20Actually, I am taking a bath.

07:22No, you are not!

07:23There's no water.

07:25How can you be taking a bath without water?

07:27It's called a dust bath.

07:29A dust bath?

07:31You can't take a bath in dust.

07:34Well, if you're a sparrow, you can.

07:36The dust really helps keep my feathers and skin clean.

07:40Oh, you know what that means?

07:42Draw!

07:44And sing!

07:46Hit it!

07:47Sparrows take dust baths.

07:49We'll send it to the list.

07:50It pays to observe when you're a happy scientist.

07:53We're happy, happy, happy, happy, happy scientists.

07:56All right, all right.

07:57There's got to be something around here that doesn't take a bath.

08:00Aha!

08:01Come on over here, guys.

08:02I think I see just the thing.

08:06An owl!

08:07I thought owls only came out at night.

08:10What's he doing out in the day?

08:12Whatever it's doing, it's not taking a bath.

08:15Yes, I am.

08:17Oh, you've got to be kidding!

08:19Nope.

08:20I'm taking a sun bath.

08:22A sun bath?

08:23The sun can't give you a bath.

08:26If you're an owl, it can.

08:28The sun helps get rid of some germs that may be stuck in my feathers.

08:32That means draw!

08:35Right.

08:36Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

08:37Sing!

08:38Hit it!

08:39Owls take sun baths.

08:40We'll add it to our list.

08:41We're happy, happy, happy, happy, happy scientists.

08:44It looks like Elmo and Zeta's hypothesis is right.

08:47Everybody on Sesame Street takes a bath.

08:50I am not giving up yet.

08:53I just thought of someone who couldn't possibly take a bath.

08:57Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

08:59Oscar!

09:01Oscar!

09:02Why is no one just calling for Oscar?

09:06Because Oscar's a grouch, and he loves everything dirty and dingy and grungy,

09:11and there's no way that Oscar takes a bath.

09:14Oscar!

09:16Will you keep it quiet?

09:19I'm trying to take a bath.

09:22Grouches take baths?

09:24Yes.

09:25We take mud baths.

09:28Oh, no!

09:30Oh, yes.

09:32So leave me alone so I can wallow in peace.

09:36Grouches take baths!

09:39Oh, let's draw and sing!

09:40Hit it!

09:41Grouches take a mud bath.

09:42We'll add it to our list.

09:43Stop!

09:44Stop!

09:45Stop the music!

09:46Oh, stop it!

09:47Does it tell me when to sing the happy scientist song?

09:50No!

09:51Why not?

09:53Because I'm not happy!

09:55I'm not a happy scientist!

09:57I'm a mad scientist!

09:58Mad, I tell you!

10:00I'm a mad, mad, mad, unhappy scientist!

10:04Not happy!

10:05Telly!

10:06Telly!

10:07Telly, what are you so mad about?

10:09I couldn't find anyone on Sesame Street that didn't take a bath!

10:13I can't be a scientist, Gordon!

10:15Well, of course you can, Telly!

10:17But my hypothesis was all wrong!

10:20But Telly, it's okay to be wrong in science.

10:23It is?

10:24Yeah, you see, the important thing in science is the process.

10:29Yeah, the process.

10:30It's all the steps that you take to find an answer.

10:32Like asking questions?

10:34And investigating?

10:35And writing down what we find in the journal?

10:38Right.

10:39All of those things are part of the scientific process.

10:41Well, we did all that stuff!

10:43Oh, okay.

10:44And what did you find out?

10:45Well, here.

10:46I wrote it down in my journal.

10:48I drew pictures.

10:49We found out that Chris takes a bath.

10:52Okay.

10:53And we found out that cats take a tongue bath.

10:58Wow.

10:59And we found out that little sparrows take a dust bath.

11:03All right.

11:05And owls take sun baths.

11:09And we even found out that grouches take mud baths.

11:14Wow!

11:16Those are some really interesting things you guys learned.

11:18Really?

11:19Absolutely.

11:20Through investigating, you guys found out things I didn't even know.

11:24We did?

11:25Yes.

11:26And now that you've learned all this great stuff,

11:29what do you think the answer to the question is?

11:31Does everybody on Sesame Street take a bath?

11:33I think the answer is yes!

11:36Everyone on Sesame Street does take a bath,

11:38just not all in the same way!

11:41Great job!

11:42You guys did it!

11:43We did it!

11:44We did it!

11:45We did it!

11:46Yay!

11:47Congratulations, scientists!

11:48But not just any scientist, we're happy scientists!

11:53Yay!

11:54We did it!

11:55We're the happy, happy, happy, happy, happy scientists!

12:02I love science.
