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

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

00:07Tag!

00:08Hey, there, there!

00:09No, no, no! Elmo's gonna get home!

00:11Come back here! Come back!

00:13Oh, no, no, no!

00:14No!

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

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

00:23Well, yeah. Yeah, my students are great scientists.

00:26Wait a minute.

00:27Do you mean to tell me that kids can be scientists?

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

00:33Even Elmo can be a scientist?

00:36Absolutely.

00:37You just need to be able to ask questions and investigate.

00:43Investigate?

00:43Yeah, well, that means that you do things that will help you find the answers to your questions.

00:48Wow! Well, Elmo likes asking questions.

00:51Oh, and Elmo loves to investigate, too!

00:54Yeah, yeah, yeah! Me, too!

00:56Yeah! Me, three!

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

00:59Then let's do it!

01:01See, let's be scientists!

01:03Yeah!

01:04We're happy to explore.

01:06We'll observe that miss.

01:07We'll investigate new things.

01:08We're happy scientists!

01:10We'll ask some happy questions.

01:11Friends will insist.

01:12We'll learn lots of happy things.

01:14We're happy scientists.

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

01:17Okay, Gordon, what can the happy scientists investigate?

01:23Well, just look around and see if there's anything on Sesame Street that you might have questions about.

01:30Okay!

01:30Does anybody have any questions about street signs?

01:36No!

01:38Hmm.

01:39Anyone have any questions about a mailbox?

01:43No!

01:43Oh!

01:46Oh, look!

01:47Look at that!

01:48Leela is giving Barkley a bath!

01:50Hey!

01:52Maybe we can ask a question about dogs!

01:55Or baths!

01:56Oh!

01:57I want to start with a question!

01:58Oh, what is it, Elmo?

01:59Well, the question is, does everyone on Sesame Street take a bath?

02:04Great question!

02:05Thank you!

02:06What should a happy scientist do next, Gordon?

02:09Well, next you come up with a hypothesis.

02:13Hypopotamus?

02:13No, no, no, no, no.

02:15Hypothesis.

02:15It means a guess based on what you already know.

02:19Oh!

02:22Well, take a happy guess called a hypothesis.

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

02:27We're happy, happy, happy, happy, happy, happy scientists.

02:30Okay, so what does Elmo know?

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

02:37Right!

02:37And Gordon takes a bath, right?

02:40I do.

02:40Hmm, so Elmo guesses that everyone on Sesame Street does take a bath.

02:45Okay, then that is your hypothesis, Elmo.

02:48And that is my, uh, hypothesis.

02:53Hypothesis too.

02:54Everyone 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.

03:02I 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, but Gordon, how, how did a happy scientist do that?

03:15You investigate.

03:17And put everything you find out in a journal.

03:20Oh.

03:20Like this?

03:23Oh.

03:25We call some happy pictures.

03:27We'll make a happiness.

03:28We'll keep a happy journal.

03:29We're happy scientists.

03:31We're happy, 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!

03:42Investigate!

03:43Ha, ha, ha!

03:44Investigate!

03:45What?

03:45Ah!

03:46Ha, ha, ha!

03:47Well, those are some happy scientists.

03:52Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.

03:54Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, oop, oop, oop, oop, oop, oop, oop, oop, oop, oop, oop, oop, oop, oop!

03:58Oh!

03:59Hi!

03:59Hi, Chris!

04:01Huh.

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

04:03We're watching you, Chris.

04:05Mm-hmm.

04:05Watching me?

04:06Mm-hmm.

04:07Why?

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

04:11Mm-hmm.

04:11Elmo, Kelly, and Rosita are scientists.

04:14Okay.

04:15Well, can you scientists hurry this up?

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

04:18Hey, look.

04:19What?

04:19He is in the middle of something.

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

04:24Yes!

04:24And he's got sudsy bubbles all over him.

04:27Mm-hmm.

04:28Mm-hmm.

04:28Wow!

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

04:34Yes!

04:35Yes!

04:35That's right, guys.

04:36Yes.

04:36I 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?

04:44Mm-hmm.

04:44Yes.

04:44Like this?

04:45Oh, yes.

04:46See?

04:46In 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.

04:53Now he's on our happiness.

04:55We're investigating it.

04:56We're the happy scientists.

04:58The happy, happy, happy, happy, happy scientists.

05:01Okay, okay, happy scientists.

05:03Let's go investigate some more.

05:06Investigation!

05:07Bye, Chris.

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

05:25Uh, what you staring at?

05:28Oh, oh, don't mind us, Kitty.

05:30We're scientists.

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

05:39Cubes!

05:40It's licking its foot!

05:42Oh, good investigating, Kenny!

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

05:47That's just gross!

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

05:50No, with its tongue?

05:52No way!

05:53Well, yeah.

05:54Maybe this is the way that the cat takes a bath.

05:57Oh, no, no, no!

05:58It can't be!

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

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

06:06With your tongue?

06:08Yep.

06:09It's how we cats keep cleaning.

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

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

06:15Oh, uh, si, senor gato.

06:16As soon as we do this.

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

06:20Oh.

06:20Yep.

06:21I got it.

06:21And as soon as we do this, hit it!

06:24Cats take a tongue bath, we're out of 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!

06:37Yep.

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.

06:49Phew.

06:51Look, happy scientists, a sparrow!

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

07:05I wonder why you're doing that!

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

07:11couldn't possibly be a bird who takes a bath!

07:15So my hypothesis is correct!

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

07:19Actually, 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!

07:47Spirrow, sleep, dust baths, be as bad as you are list!

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

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

07:55All right, there's got to be something around here that doesn't take a bath!

07:59Aha!

08:00Come on over here, guys!

08:01I think I see just the thing!

08:05Yes!

08:06An owl!

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

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

08:11Whatever it's doing, it's not taking a bath!

08:15Yes, I am!

08:16Oh, you've got to be kidding!

08:19Nope!

08:20I'm taking a sun bath!

08:21A sun bath?

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

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

08:27The sun helps get rid of some germs that may be stuck in my feathers!

08:32That means...

08:33Draw!

08:34All right, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

08:37Sing!

08:38Hit it!

08:38Owls, big sun baths, we'll add it to our nest!

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

08:44Happy!

08:44And look like Elmo and Regina's hypothesis is right!

08:47Everybody on Sesame Street takes a bath!

08:50I am not giving up yet!

08:52I just thought of someone who couldn't possibly take a bath!

08:56Ha ha!

08:57Ha ha ha!

08:59Oscar!

09:00Oscar!

09:02Why is...

09:03Why is the one just calling for Oscar?

09:06Because Oscar's a grouch, and he loves everything!

09:09Dirty, and dingy, and grungy, and 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!

09:27Oh no!

09:30Oh yes!

09:31So leave me alone, so I can wallow in peace!

09:36Grouches take baths!

09:38Oh, let's try and sing!

09:40Hit it!

09:41Grouches take a mud bath!

09:42We're out of two orders!

09:43Stop!

09:44Stop!

09:44Stop the music!

09:46Oh, stop it!

09:47Does he tell me you want to sing the happy scientist song?

09:50No!

09:51Why not?

09:52Because 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!

10:05Tally!

10:06What?

10:06Tally, what are you so mad about?

10:08I 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, Tally!

10:16But my hypothesis was all wrong!

10:19But, but, Tally, it's okay to be wrong in science!

10:22It is?

10:23Yeah, you see, the important thing in science is the process!

10:27Huh?

10:28Yeah, process!

10:29It's all the steps that you take to find an answer!

10:32Like asking questions?

10:34And investigating?

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

10:37Right!

10:38All of those things are part of the scientific process!

10:41Well, we did all that stuff!

10:42Oh, okay, and what did you find out?

10:45Well, here, I wrote it down in my journal, I drew pictures, and...

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

10:52Okay!

10:54And 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, uh, and owls take sun baths!

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

11:14Wow!

11:15Those are some really interesting things you guys learned!

11:18Really?

11:18Absolutely!

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

11:23We did?

11:24Yes!

11:26And now that you've learned all this great stuff, what do you think the answer to the question

11:30is?

11:30Does everybody on Sesame Street take a bath?

11:32Uh, I think the answer is, is yes!

11:35Everyone on Sesame Street does take a bath!

11:38Just, just, not all in the same way!

11:40Great job!

11:41You guys did it!

11:43We did it!

11:44We did it!

11:45We did it!

11:46We did it!

11:47We did it!

11:48But not just any scientists!

11:50We're happy scientists!

11:52Yay!

11:53We did it!

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

11:58I love science!
