00:00Saira, we have a new game.

00:02This is the Penguin Pyramid.

00:04What we're going to do is,

00:06using these cups with penguins,

00:08we're going to make a stocking

00:11to make a pyramid.

00:13We can't use our hands.

00:15What we're going to use is this rubber band

00:17that has four sticks.

00:19And our goal is,

00:20we need to make the Penguin Pyramid.

00:23Hopefully, within one minute.

00:25You can do it!

00:26You think?

00:27You can do it, Chris!

00:28What are you thinking?

00:29That's so fast, Chris!

00:33No, it's okay.

00:34We're a team, Saira.

00:36Help us.

00:37Give us time.

00:38Give us time.

00:40Okey-dokey.

00:41Ready.

00:42Set.

00:44Go!

00:45Yay!

00:47Okay, it's a family.

00:56How many?

00:57There!

00:58You can do it!

00:59Two more!

01:00Stocking.

01:01Be careful.

01:03You know?

01:04Okay.

01:10You can do it!

01:13I'm scared, Chris.

01:15You can do it.

01:17Let's put it there.

01:18Let's push it.

01:21Okay.

01:24Okay.

01:25How do we do this?

01:26Oh, my goodness.

01:29Stand up.

01:30Do I have to stand up?

01:33There.

01:34You can do it, Chris.

01:36One, two.

01:37Ready.

01:38Go, go, go, go.

01:42Yay!

01:43Stocking.

01:44You can do it.

01:45You can do it, Chris.

01:46You can do it, Chris.

01:47You can do it, Chris.

01:48We finished the challenge within one minute because we did it in 58 seconds.

01:53Wow!

01:54Nice one, guys.

01:55Just two seconds before the limit.

01:57I believe that we were able to get the cups because of the elasticity of this rubber band.

02:04It's elastic.

02:05It's stretched.

02:06What is elasticity?

02:11Oh, elasticity.

02:12What is that, Chris?

02:13Elasticity.

02:15Elasticity is the ability of an object to return to its original shape after it is stretched like this.

02:22When it is stretched, when you release it, it will return to its original shape.

02:26But remember, there is also a limit to the elasticity of an object.

02:29If the force exerted when stretching is too much, it can be broken or cut.

02:35Yes.

02:36That's why in the game, when we used this, the force we exerted was just right so that the rubber band wouldn't be broken, right?

02:45Our movements should be coordinated at the same time.

02:48There should also be communication so that we won't get stuck.

02:51That's right.
