All right chattering excitedly hey, wait for me. George thought that to be a trainer, all he had to do was run and professor wiseman would follow. Simple. chattering sighs george, wait up. Oh. panting hmm, maybe not so simple. chatters questioningly oh, im so thirsty. Do you have any water . Uhuh. Hey, aha. Here. gasps uhoh. Okay, thats it. Im done. Aw. Sorry, george. Im too tired to run anymore. We can try again tomorrow. Georges first day as a trainer had not gone well. door opening hi, george. Professor wiseman called. She said you tried to help her train for the race. Oh. Well, dont give up. I think its a great idea. And i found something that might help. Its an old training video i used to watch called run for your life. You yeah, you. Are you ready to run like you mean it . Uhhuh, uhhuh. You might want to take notes. Oh. Tip 1 before you hit the road, youve got to get graceful. Youve got to stretch those muscles. grunting when george met professor wiseman in the park the next day, he wanted to be ready. grunting mm, stretching does feel good. Okay, whats next, george . Ooh. Ah, uhhuh. Time to run . Uhhuh, uhhuh. But not too fast, right . chatters agreement all right, then, lets go. Ooh, im getting thirsty. Uhhuh. panting ah. Ah, thanks. Much better. So far, professor wisemans training was going great. And then. Not so great. Hey. chatters question i dont think running is for me, george. I find it. Well, boring. Huh . Id much rather be carbondating a stromatolite. Oh, oh. The training coach didnt say anything about boring. The problem is i dont have time to be bored. I should get back to the museum. Thanks for trying, george. Huh . Huh . George couldnt understand why she didnt like to run. Running can be so much fun. Aha. Make running fun. It just might work. chattering excitedly chuckles you want to show me something, george . Uhhuh. Okay. Lets go. Oh. Is this a ferris wheel . Uhhuh. Okay. Ive never been on one of these before. chuckles what an amazing view hey, look theres the museum. George ooh i can see my window. It looks so small from here. chuckles the professor had had so much fun on the ferris wheel that george took her to all his favorite places. hooting laughs laughing trumpets the day the professor outran him, george knew she was ready for the race. Oh, i never knew running would make me feel this good. I have so much energy now. Thank you, george, for the ferris wheel, for the balloons, for teaching me that running is fun. chuckles good evening, professor. Oh, hi, everyone im running in that race tomorrow. Will you be there . Ha we wouldnt miss it for the world. chuckles on race day, george couldnt believe how many people showed up. Okay, im ready. Oh, no i forgot my water. chatters sighs thanks.

Man go, go, go faster push it yeah, thats it, run go the professor seemed to be doing everything right. She ran at a steady pace. And there she was drinking water. So far, so good. crowd cheering george wanted to see the professor cross the finish line, so he made sure to get a good spot. Do you see her . I dont see her. chatters she looks tired. George uhoh. Oh, no, somethings wrong. Maybe she got a charley horse. Huh . Thats a cramp in your leg, george, and they can be very painful. Oh whew hi, there. squeals i thought itd be fun if my personal trainer finished the race with me. Huh . squeals laughs crowd cheering haha chuckles i did it i actually ran a race uhhuh, uhhuh. I got a medal for finishing, and the race was a huge success. We raised enough money for our trip to oman. Ah, thats terrific. And i found out who those anonymous donors were. Apparently, they thought i needed to work a little less and have fun a little more. Thats right because all work and no play. Is a crummy way to spend your day. both laugh to thank you for helping me learn that lesson, i want you to have my medal. Oh chuckles boy george is a monkey. Girl he showed professor wiseman how to have fun with exercise. One, two, three, four. Today, we are exercising. Each kid made a part of our exercise course. Go boy 1 exercise is important because it gets your heart going and that sends blood to your body, so it can keep you moving. Go girl it helps your body and mind to get active, and it makes you feel very good. I know that my heart is beating fast. So you get a good exercise. Boy 1 soccer or any running sport, its fun, but youre also exercising. Boy 3 stuff you do every day is kind of like exercising. Boy 2 walking is an everyday thing. You could walk to the park. You could walk to school. Going upstairs is exercise. Boy 2 its an everyday thing, but it gives you exercise, too. It gets you stronger. So, for the future, youll be in the habit of exercising. Kids clapping along oh, we are the county sprouts and today were going out cause were the county sprouts whoo yeah all laugh george was feeling pretty proud. He had been made an honorary county sprout, and today was his first sprout outing. Exciting stuff, huh, george . Uhhuh, uhhuh, uhhuh. Its my first outing, too, as the new sproutmaster. And let me compliment my assistant sproutmaster bill. Kids yeah ooh, yeah, reporting for duty, sproutmaster, sir. Oh i lost the map look, were here. All whoa woman over p. A. welcome to the incredible edible arboretum, a cornucopia of exotic comestibles. Blueberries ill race ya blueberries are my favorite bushbased fruit. Come on, george all mm mm it looks like you all forgot the county sprout rules. Huh . Uh, rule 1 never eat any plant that youre not 100 certain is safe. And that means. Consulting the edible plants guidebook . Um, no, it means getting an okay from an adult. Right. Rule 2 plants are living things. You can kill or hurt them if youre too rough. So dont pull on them and dont break any branches. chuckles come on. device beeping now let me explain what we will do during our vegetation exploration. device beeping uh, mr. Sproutmaster . Were going to pass through orchards and nut groves. I wouldnt go that way if i were you. After that, well meet the head gardener, dr. Greenbean. whistle blows gasps whoa according to my new Global Positioning system, the Apple Orchard is that way. Um, why dont we check the map . Where is the map . It flew out the window, sir. But this is even better. Well, then as assistant sproutmaster, you can be our navigator. Lead the way. Cool. Oh, we are the county sprouts and today were going out. george grunting if there was one thing george did not want to do, it was break any more branches. cheering awesome thanks, george. I think well get to the blackberries faster if we go this way. I dont know, bill. That trail looks overgrown. A gps is never wrong. It says so in the brochure. Oh. blows whistle loudly follow me, sprouts. hoots happily beeps why is the screen flickering . tapping screen either the earth is off its axis, or i forgot to charge the batteries. Okay. George, can you climb that tree and see where we are . Uhhuh, uhhuh, uhhuh. hooting excitedly and bill. Bill . Bill, where are you going . Dont worry. Ive got my handy backup compass. This way, folks bill, a sprout never leaves the trail. Thatthats rule 3. Bill oh, excitements really growing cause we dont know where were going. In this direction, green. In this direction, a path. shouting happily hooting excitedly huh . George couldnt believe what he was seeing. Someone was trying to break that branch. Somebody was not being a sprout. grunts oh, no. This man was wrecking a tree. hoots frantically whoa hey. Are you a monkey . Uhhuh. Uhhuh. Cool. gibbering worriedly i always wanted a monkey, but my mother said no. George had to do something and fast. This tree was in trouble. gibbering thoughtfully hooting happily hey return the headgear, monkey. chattering happily seriously. I need that. I might get sunburn. No fair i dont have monkey legs, you know. man panting, george hooting rapidly stop man panting come on. Come on. man panting sighs tiredly man panting hoots happily you know, this is fun and all, but i have to get back to work. Aah oh oh. hooting sadly george didnt mean for the hat to get wet. Or the man. But george couldnt wait around. He had to check on that tree. Oh, we are the county sprouts and were wandering all about cause were lost in the forest and no one is looking for us which mean were. Vinny and vicki please. Were not lost. Were just misplaced. According to my compass, this way is north; this way is south; and east and west are here and here. Uh, but without a map, that doesnt really help us. But you know what . We can determine our precise location using an analog watch. We just need to know the true local time. Do you know the true local time . I have another idea. Lets ask george to climb a tree and. Oh, no. I left george in the tree. George where are you . George . George wished he could think of a way to get the branches back on the tree. He needed something sticky, really sticky. Like. Ah. Mud hooting excitedly grunting ah chatters there. another great monkey invention. chattering contentedly gasping the treewrecking man was coming back. And hed probably want to keep on wrecking. Haha hooting happily you are one crazy monkey. I havent run like that since. Hey wheres my lopper . chatters lopper . that thing i was cutting branches with. chattering george . Can you hear me . George hooting happily george oh, thank goodness i found you. Oh, im sorry i left you in that tree. gibbering anxiously oh. Dr. Greenbean. Nice to see you. Huh . Sorry were late. Weve had a rough day. Tell me about it. First this monkey ran off with my hat, and now my tree lopper has vanished. Uhoh. giggles hey. Whats going on . Who put mud on this . Uh. George . gibbering anxiously ah so, dr. Greenbean was cutting some branches and you thought he was hurting the tree. Uhhuh. Oh, you should have asked. Oh, wait. chuckles youre a monkey. Well, anyway, this is called pruning. You make a careful cut, and it doesnt hurt the tree at all. chatters curiously hes right, george. Ive pruned many a tree in my day. You see, george, too many branches are bad news. They block the sun, and then the fruit cant grow. Oh. But, hey, im proud of you, george. You behaved just like an honorary sprout. In fact, i would say your effort on behalf of trees qualifies you for full sprout status. Huh . Hooray go, george nice work for a city kid. hooting happily okay, sprouts, lets go get some lunch, and dr. Greenbean can tell us everything he knows about trees. Uh, bill, are you coming . In a minute. Im still trying to figure out where we are. Oh. Huh. Hey, i got it uh. Mr. Sproutmaster. According to this, youre going the exact wrong. Wait youre going the right way never mind. Proceed. Girl george is a monkey. Boy he learned that its important to take good care of trees. We are at the arnold arboretum. Nancy is showing us different kinds of trees. Can you tell us what its called when a tree keeps its leaves through the winter . Its evergreen. Evergreen thats right. Nancy the trees that lose their leaves in the winter are called deciduous trees. Girl the evergreen needles are small and pointy. The deciduous leaves are flat and wide. She asked us to find a particular tree. Nancy this tree is called sassafras. It smells kind of like fruit. The branches smell good. It smelled like salsa. Smells like hot pepper. And the root smelled really good. It smells like root beer. It smells like candy. I think its important to know about trees. Announcer labor day on pbs kids. Hi, neighbor one little idea.

We dont want to miss the dinosaur train. We told Petey Peteinosaurus wed meet him onboard for a play date. [train whistle blows] hey hey hey, there he is hello, pteranodon family. Hey buddy and tiny hi, petey made it triassictastic hello, mr. Conductor. Ha ha ha ha all aboard and on my way here, i saw all kinds of birds. Tons of birds, and they all had wings and a beak, just like you and me, tiny. Cool i have wings and a beak yeah i have wings and a beak yeah we can glide and fly yeah eat bugs passing by yeah come on, buddy. Join our conga line. Um, but i dont have wings or a beak. But youre a birds best friend. And you have those super chomping teeth and a big, swooshy tail. Hmm. I do. My teeth chomp and chew, yeah check my tail out, too, yeah ha ha ha ha im really glad im a dinosaur, but i bet its fun to be a bird. Not to be a nosy nellie, but if you kids like birds, have you ever heard of an archaeopteryx . Ooh i have its jurassictastic jurassictastic . Its from the jurassic, and its one of the first birds there is. In fact, archaeopteryx means old wing. Old wing . You mean its really old . Uh, itswell, not necessarily. Its just called that because its one of the earliest known birds. Hmm wings, beak, feathers. Yep, looks like a bird to me. I have a hypothesis. Since its a bird, i think archaeopteryx live in a nest, just like me and tiny. And i bet archaeopteryx can fly all around, just like me and petey. One way to find out. The trains making a stop at archaeopteryx lagoon. Thats where arlene archaeopteryx lives. Really . [humming a tune] can we visit her, mom . Please . Pretty please with beetles on top . [squawks] we can certainly stop and try to visit her. Hooray and just in time. Time tunnel time tunnel approaching [bell ringing] next stop, archaeopteryx lagoon station in the jurassic time period. Bye say hello to arlene archaeopteryx for me we will hello . Arlene archaeopteryx . Come out, come out, wherever you are. Hmm. Maybe mrs. Archaeopteryx doesnt want to be bothered. I mean, we dont know her, and she doesnt know were coming here. And what if shes really old . Tiny, archaeopteryx may mean old wing, but it doesnt mean arlene is old. Yeah, but she might be. I wonder if shes nice. Maybe shell at least watch us do things, like play or sing. Well, you can certainly try. She may not like singing. [german accent] i love songs. I have sung for years and years and yeeeears woo Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo [squawks] are you arlene . I mean, mrs. Archaeopteryx . Oh, pooh on being so formal. You had it right the first time. Call me arlene. And you are 4 of the luckiest youngsters i ever seen. Ha ha ha 4 . But theres just me, petey. And me, buddy. And me, tiny pteranodon. And shes not a youngster. Shes our mom. To me, shes a spring chicken. Actually, a spring pteranodon. Oh, ha ha [squawks] why, thank you, arlene. So, what brings your Smiling Faces to archaeopteryx lagoon . Surely you are not just here to see me. We are here to see you. We heard a lot about you, like your name means old wing and that youre one of the first birds. Arent you the smart one it does mean old wing, and its true my species is one of the first birds. Well, i do happen to be older, so these wings of mine are pretty old, too. But they still flap up a good breeze, yes . Ha ha ha [all laughing] yeah, its pretty exciting to meet a bird from the jurassic. Oh, not just any bird. Remember, i am one of the first birds ever. But you think that stops me from doing everything you kids can do . No. Exactly. So you came here to learn about this first bird, right . Why dont you come and see my home . And we can all have a snack together. With this young ladys permission, of course. Oh. [giggles] can we, please . We would love to. Thank you. Oh, wunderbar. Oh, its so good to have visitors. This way, everyone Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo hoo arlene doesnt seem very old at all. Youre right, buddy. Arlene is really fun. Shes the coolest. I bet she knows even more flying tricks than i do. And i bet her nest is amazing. I cant wait to see it. [all giggling] willkommen. We are here. Wheres your nest . Oh, im afraid i have to disappoint you. I dont live in a nest. What . You dont . I guess my hypothesis was wrong. But im sorry about your hypothesis, buddy. Its ok. Yeah, dont worry. Buddys hypotheses arent always right. Yeah. But, arlene, if you dont live in a nest, where do you live . Wait you live in a tree . Whoa ha ha ha ha score you live in a tree, and i do, too. That is such a great, birdacious place to live. Oh, ha ha ha oh, youre so funny, petey. Oh, you are one funny young bird. Birdacious oh, i like it ha ha ha thanks. So, can we see your home . Yeah. Lets fly up and see it. Hi. Um, its a little hard for me. I dont have wings to fly up there. Wings, schmings. Youve got lots of other things going for you, buddy. What does a big, strong, smart, handsome trex like you need wings for . Oh, nothing. Well, to fly up to your nest. You think wings are all that you need for that . Watch this. Are you ready for me . Yes come fly with us here goes. What happened . Did you change your mind about flying . No. That was me flying. Really . Ha ha ha oh. Is it because youve been flying a long time and maybe your wings are tired . Ha ha ha you mean because im old. Well. No, i dont fly well because no archaeopteryx does. Remember, birds are part dinosaur, and i am more dinosaur than bird in some ways. You are . But you have wings like tiny and petey. Yes, but my bird wings have feathers. Youre right. Our wings dont look the same. Has anyone noticed my tail . Its kind of like yours, buddy. Yeah. Arlene has a dinosaur tail. Do you have teeth, arlene . A full set of them. Ah [all laughing] wow, arlene. Youre the perfect combination of bird and dinosaur. And you are perfectly delightful for saying so. Now, does everyone still want to see my home . Yes um. Ill fly you up, buddy. Thanks, mom. Whoa its great up here. It works for me. Its comfortable, and i have a perfect view of any predators who might be coming. This is a lot like where i live i love having a view and i can easily spot the thing i most like to eat. Meat . Fish . Plants . Yeah, plants are yummy, but thats not my favorite food. My favorite thing to snack on is flying by in the air right now. Ooh i know bugs exactly. I love bugs, too. Ooh look incoming lets get em ah ah jurassictastic. Hoo hoo hoo so, what do you kids like to eat . Fish, fish, and fish. Meat for me. Our whole family eats together in a nest. Oh, your nest sounds wonderful. Its close to a big pond. We catch fish and play games and camp out. Oh what fun but you know what i like to do the very most, arlene . Ride the dinosaur train. We all do ooh, that does sound like an adventure. One day i would like to take a ride. [train whistle blows] [squawks] speaking of which, theres the train now. Sorry, arlene. We have to go, but it was wonderful to meet you. Oh, and you, too, mrs. Pteranodon. Oh, buddy, tiny, and petey, your visit was such a treat. I will always remember it. My own kids, they live so far away. I will tell you what, you come back anytime, ok . And maybe sometime you could come to pteranodon terrace. Youlleally like our nest. Theres lots of bugs flying around for snacks. Im already looking forward to it. Now, ok, run along or fly along, but dont miss your ride. Oh, big hugs bye, arlene pleased to meet you thanks for the snacks bye auf wiedersehen see you soon [squawks] im arlene, and i have.

Ok everyone do the arlene da da da da da da da da da da da da da all laughing] hi there. Im dr. Scott, the paleontologist, and this is archaeopteryx. Archaeopteryx. Archaeopteryx. Archaeopteryx. Thats right. Now what does the archaeopteryx look like to you . Its a bird. In fact, scientists like me think that this animal was one of the first birds ever. Was it that big . No, it wasnt as big as this. In fact, it was a lot smaller. Smaller. Smaller. Perfect. Archaeopteryx was about the size of a raven. It had lots of bird features like feathered wings, but it also had many dinosaur features like teeth, a long bony tail, and a big claw on its toe. [squawking] so, was arceopteryx a bird or a dinosaur . A bird. Its a dinosaur. Believe it or not, youre both right. Archaeopteryx is a bird and a dinosaur because all birds are part of the dinosaur family. Thats right. All birds are dinosaurs. So, the next time you see a chicken, a seagull, or even a hummingbird, remember, youre looking at a dinosaur. Pretty cool, huh . Ok. Keep watching for more dinosaur discoveries. The biggest dinosaur in fact, im kind of tiny i dont have teeth or scary claws but it doesnt make me whiny whenever i meet someone new i march right up and what i do is say hello there, nice to meet you, my name is tiny ive met a lot of dinosaurs and some of them were scary and when i stand right next to them im kind of ordinary but if im friendly they are, too and then i say its nice to meet you then they say, well, hey, the same to you its nice to meet you, tiny hello, folks. Its me, the conductor. Ever wonder what shiny and don do at home when buddy and tiny go on the dinosaur train . Well, today were going to find out. So come on along with me on the dinosaur train. All aboard ready, shiny . [squawks] yeah. [grunts] i got it. Yeah awesome see, tiny . Twigs and mud. Thats all you need to repair a nest. Now, uh, no one will know that i tripped and fell into it by accident, right . [giggles] right, dad. [humming a tune] one velociraptor feather, two trex teeth, 3 old egg shells. [sniffs] phew [squawks] buddy tiny its almost time to go. You have a play date. Yeah. Were meeting ned brachiosaurus on the dinosaur train. To play junior conductors. You guys will come with us, right . Its going to be so much fun. Oh, i dont know. I think id rather stay around the nest with dad. I want to look around the nest for more cool things for my collection. But, don, you could look for things on the train. Yeah, i guess, but ill just stay here with shiny. Hmm. I hear theres fish balls on the snack cart today. And ned said hed let us ride on his neck. I bet the engineer would let us blow the whistle. That sounds like fun. But cant we do all that another day . All right. You two have a great time on the train. We want to hear all your stories when you get back. [squawks] ok. Have fun here. Oh, i bet we will. Bye. When we get back, we can all play toss n catch. Bye so, what do we explore today . [hums a tune] lets find Someplace New so i can get more shiny things. How about. Mmm, here . That cave . Hmm. No. Caves are boring. We should go someplace else. But weve never been in there. Its somewhere new. But its a cave. A cave is just a hole on its side. So, team pteranodon, what adventure are we thinking about for today . Were exploring a cave. Were thinking about exploring a cave. Oh. Then ill think about it, too. Ok, lets do it ha ha you see that . I caved in to exploring the cave. Ha ha [both laugh] yeah. Ok, team. Lets head to the cliff and check out that cave. Yeah. Oh, boy. [squawks] i bet ill find Amazing Things in the cave for my collectionsome old teeth or fossil bones or maybe a whole skeleton. [gulps] maybe the cave is a secret hideout for a brandnew animal weve never even seen before. An animal with big teeth and claws and and one that probably doesnt want us bothering it. Can we just go explore the beach . You know, shiny, you might like the inside of this cave. Caves have all kinds of surprising things in them. Like. Surprise shiny things . Oh, yes, sometimes. I say we keep our eyes peeled and our beaks bright. Hmm. What . Ahem. That means pay attention. Heh heh heh so . Caving . Huh . Huh . Yeah [gulps] caving go, team yay you can do it, shiny. Just take a deep breath before we go into the cave. Ok, dad. [inhales deeply] good. Lets explore [sighs] this is so cool [cool echoing] wow. Theres an echo. I know. What a great cave [cave echoing] [water dripping] eek whats that . Hmm. Not sure. Um. Lets see. Oh here it is. Its just water. Dad . Shiny . Dont be nervous. It was just dripping water. Nnnervous . Why, i wasnt nervous. Ii just didnt see anything shiny in there. And i was just checking on your sister. Uh, you good, tiny . [laughs nervously] shes good. But we have to explore. There could be lots of things in the cave. Shiny things. We barely went in. Come on. Lets look some more. Deep breath. [inhales deeply] [humming] [low squawking] whats that . [gasps] whats what . [squawking continues] aah what is it . Is it a monster . Shiny, its not a monster. Its just a bird. Look. Yeah. Youre one of those big pond birds. Ive seen you before. Youre enyoure enantiornithine, right . Yes. An enantiornithine who is trying to get some sleep, so, could you stop with the screaming . Screaming . Yeah. I wasnt screaming. I was singing. Aaah dont you mean la la looo . [squawks] intereing. Ha ok. Im out of here. Byebye [sighs] ok. So we found a bird. Can we go now . Nah. I want to keep exploring. Cant we, dad . Please . Well, i say we just sit and think about this for a minute. Whoa [both laughing] sorry, dad. Are you ok . Yeah, im fine, but im going to have a word with this rock, thats for sure. Ha ha hey, kids, look at this. Wow. That rock is red. Really red. And its shiny. Why, it sure is. Actually, shiny, this is called a mineral. A mineral . But it looks like some kind of rock. Well, team, a mineral is a solid piece that comes from the earth and is made up of the same material all the way through. And a rock is made from a bunch of different kinds of minerals. Oh i get it. So this mineral is a ruby. The whole thing is a ruby, and thats why its called ruby red. Are all minerals shiny and red . Well, some more than others, but they come in all kinds of colors. Purple . Blue . Green . Yes, yes, and yes, don. Diamonds, another mineral, are very clear, and they also come in green, purple, yellow, red, a whole rainbow of colors. A rainbow of shiny colors . Really . Better believe it. Diamonds sparkle more than most minerals, or thats what im told. Ive never actually found one myself. Then what are we waiting for . Lets explore this cave and find these minerals, maybe even some diamonds. So now you want to be in the cave . I do. I really do. Just maybe you and dad can lead the way. [all humming a tune] hey, i wonder whats up there. Woo hoo don hello whered you go . Don . Huh . There you are, son. Dont disappear like that. We have to stay together. Oh. Sorry, dad. Good. Everybodys here. Quite an adventure, huh . Yeah. Its a little too dark right here. Can we try to get out of the cave now . Sure. Good plan, shiny. Ok. Lets see. We came into the i see light. Huh. Well, me, too, don. Come on. Follow me. Well be in the daylight in no time, shiny. Cool [gasps] hey, the lights are all twinkly. Wow its really hard. But its so shiny and beautiful. Are these those minerals you said were the shiniest . Yeah are these those diamond things . You know what . I think they are. Heh tada ooh now that is one impressively shiny mineral. Hey, kids, lets take this and see how it shines outside. I like that idea a lot, dad. Look. The minerals are sparklier than ever out here. Oh and i can see myself in all of them. [squawks] see . It was fun exploring in the cave. You were nervous, but you made it through. La la loo nervous . I wasntok, maybe i was a little nervous, but you did a great job leading us out, don. Thanks. Shinys right. Heh i am pteranodon proud of both of you. Im proud to have a dad who knows so much about minerals. Well, the reason i know so much about them is when i was a kid, i loved shiny things, like minerals, just like you, shiny. [giggles] and i liked collecting things when i was a kid, too. Collecting things . Thats like me. Yep. Youre right, don. Hmm. [train whistle blows] [gasps] the dinosaur train. Mom and tiny anduddy will be home soon. Ok, kids. Lets get back to the nest to meet them. [squawks] here, don. You can have this ruby for your colltion. Really . Thanks, shiny. All those minerals back in the cave were so amazing. One day, we should show them to tiny and buddy. Yeah. I bet theyd like them. Too bad we didnt bring home one of those diamonds. Hey, shiny. Hey, don. Oh, you guys missed the best trip. Yeah. We played junior conductor with ned, and we even got to toot the whistle. I wish you guys could have been there with us. Hmm. Sounds fun. How was it staying home . Good. And fun. Yeah, you know, a little of this, a little of that. This and that . We did look at some minerals. Which we found in a cave. Minerals . Will you tell us about them . Wait. First, remember were going to play toss and catch . Yeah lets play whoo yeah over here catch me over here [giggling] [gasps] [both giggling] [squawks] hey wait up [giggles] hi. Im dr. Scott, the paleontologist. What do you think these are . Theyre rocks. Good guess, but these are a little different. Theyre called minerals. Rocks are actually made of minerals. Most Minerals Form way down deep, below the surface of the earth, where its very hot. And Many Minerals that we find today were around before the dinosaurs. Ooh when these shiny minerals are first discovered, theyre often rough and dirty, sometimes looking like broken glass. But once theyre carefully cut and polished, well, they look. Beautiful. So, whenever you see a beautiful, polished mineral, like a diamond or a ruby, think about how it formed deep within the earth long ago, maybe even before the time of the dinosaurs. All right. Remember, get outside, get into nature, and make your own discoveries. Get outside, get into nature, and make your own discoveries. Did you know that announcer labor day get on pbs kids.
