And lookheres captain lou. Hi, kids. Come on in. Ive got something i want you to see. Ooh, lets go. Whos that . Captain lou thats tara. She may look a little strange, but thats what all firefighters wear when they go put out a fire. Whats that over her face . [muffled voice] its a mask. It stops me from breathing in smoke. Why do you sound so funny . Well, my mask has a speaker on it which makes my voice louder. So when she needs help, all the other firefighters will hear her. Then helps on the way. Speaking of help i could really use some help taking my gear off. Firefighters are good at helping people. You never know what you are going to learn when you explore new places and new things. Hello, folks. Its me the conductor. Today were going to learn how some of the stars in the sky make groups called constellations, so come along with me on the dinosaur train. All aboard [whistle blows] this program was made possible by. Contributions to your pbs station from viewers like you thank you [train whistle blows] dinosaur train [whistle blows] dinosaur train once upon a time there was a mom her name was mrs. Pteranodon sitting on her nest she heard a scratching and said. Oh, boy my eggs are hatching one by one her kids popped free baby pteranodons 1, 2, 3 ill name you tiny, shiny, and don. But tiny said. Wait theres one more, mom last little baby was a different size with teeth and a tail and big green eyes he didnt look anything like the rest what am i doing in a pteranodon nest . But dear, old mrs. Pteranodon said. Oh, this is your family, and im your mom. You may be different, but were all creatures. All dinosaurs have different features. Come on, buddy. Well take a vacation. Ill get us a ticket at pteranodon station. Well travel the world in sunshine and rain and meet all the species on the. Dinosaur train dinosaur train dinosaur train dinosaur train were gonna ride ride, ride, ride, ride [whistle blows] the dinosaur train [roaring] look at that one really bright star. I think sometimes stars seem to make pictures in the sky. Youre right, buddy. A star picture is called a constellation. [train whistle blows] its the night train [cheering] welcome, pteranodon family. Ooh im tickled orange that all of you are here. Hello, mr. Conductor ready to ride the night train and do some stargazing . [cheering] i cant wait to learn more about the stars i have so many questions. Ooh i like questions. Ooh. And i have one. Why arent we already on the night train . Blooouuuggh ohh ohh all aboooooaarrd mother, i am supposed to say that. Ahem. All aboard wow. So lets talk stars, a dazzling part of nature at night. Wait. Stars are a part of nature . Absolutely, shiny. All stars are part of nature, but heres a question. Is the sun part of nature . Lets take a look. Well, im pretty sure that if there wasnt a sun flowers wouldnt grow, so i think the sun is part of nature. Exactamundo, tiny our sun is part of nature andhold your beaks and toesthe sun is also a star just like the other stars you see in the sky. Our sun is a star . Wow heh. Learned something new tonight. Mr. The conductor, why does the sun look so big if its a star . Our sun looks bigger because its the closest star to earth. Other groups of stars are much further away. Ooh speaking of which, groups of stars have a special name. Constellations right. Now gaze upward. Wow its a star show. Some stars in the sky do seem to group together and make constellations, which are like connectthedots. In this case we connect the stars to make pictures. Awk ohh i love this view. This is so cool. La la view hey that constellation looks like a twinkling fish. Yes. In fact, tiny, thats the constellation we callha hathe fish. Thats like a dinosaur with a long neck. We troodons call it the sauropod, and this time of year, you can see it on most clear nights. He stars twinkle, but they dont seem to move around at all. I have a hypothesis. The stars in the sky are always in the same spot every night and dont ever move. Hmm. Interesting hypothesis buddy. Im trying to connect the stars and find my own constellation, a donstellation. Ha ha ha well, mr. The don, you have a full night ahead to try to spot your donstellation. Tonight, well travel to see the night sky far away in another part of the cretaceous. Theres that really bright star again. Mmhmm hmm. Where do the stars get their light from . Each star makes its own light. Ha ha ha oh, mother. Mother taught me that and so much else about the stars. We used to gaze at the night sky when i was a little troodon. Oh, ho ho ho, sonny boy. Youre still my little shining star. Awww. [watch chimes] ahem. Oh, my, oh, my were getting close to our stop, where youll meet sydney sinovenator. Is he a friend of yours, mr. Conductor . Sydney is from the troodontid family of dinosaurs so hes much like a troodon. Cousin sydney is quite an energetic creature. Ha and he loves stars very, very much. Do you think the sky will look the same where were going, like it does here . Well, well find out very soon because our next stop is sinovenator station. Sinovenator station in another part of the cretaceous time period and now more of our nighttime stargazing adventure. Well here he issydney sinovenator hello im sydney sinovenatoroh hey, cuz. Long time, no see. Indeed wonderful to see you, sydney. Hi, sydney im tiny pteranodon. This is my sister shiny and my brothers buddy and don, and this is my mom and dad. Hello, hello, hello, hello. Nice to meet you all. Welcome to my starry, starry night. You look at the stars a lot right . Oh, yes, i do i look at the stars more than i look at anything else. The stars and i are friends to the end. Sydney, ive been looking at the stars for a donstellation. A donstellation . Yep. A star picture that looks like me. Hmm. Havent seen a donstellation, don, but my stars, i would really like to sydney and mr. Conductor, since youre troodontid cousins, i was wondering if we could compare your features. Excellent suggestion, buddy. Lets compare hmm. Sydney is shorter. Now may we see your claws, please . A big claw on sydneys toe and a big claw on mr. Conductor so youre both nocturnal. Sydney, you have really big eyes. Yes the better to see at night. Its another troodontid family trait like our eyeshine. The moonlight reflects off our eyes. Time for a tour, a sky tour you came on a great night, just a sliver of a moon. We should hurry. We dont want to keep the stars waiting too long, hmm . Sydney, we saw that really bright star earlier at home in the same spot. Oh, yes thats the star of the nightly starry show bravo that star can be found in the same spot pointing toward the north. I call it bright star how about the sauropod constellation . Shouldnt it be right where i saw it . Good question, tiny. Often it is hard to find certain stars and constellations. Do you know why . Because theres so many stars up there . I like that answer. Me, too, and youre right buddy. From here on earth, we can only see thousands of stars, but there are soooo many more stars up there in the sky that we cant see. Millions, right . Actually billions. My cuz is rightbillions and billions of stars. Impossible to count them all. 1, 2, 3, 10, 100, 2 million. Yup. Looks like billions to me. [all laughing] but, sydney, the sauropod constellation isnt in the same spot where it was before. Yeah. I wonder if my hypothesis was right. Arent the stars always in the same spot . I think i can help with this where are the constellations question. Who wants to go to my superspecial stargazing site . If you do, say, i do, sydney. I do, sydney all right. Lets go to starry hill. Behold the best stargazing site ever wow i feel like i can reach up and grab stars right from the sky. Me, too. Awk awk huh . Oh. Hmm. I cant find the fish constellation. It probably moved like the sauropod did. Where are you, sauropod . There you are you did move so i guess stars do move around, right . It may look like the stars have moved, but no its not the stars that are moving. Its the earth thats moving the starsyes, stars, im talking about you againthey just look like theyre moving the earth is moving . cousin, will you help me out and pretend to be the sun . Just stand still. Well, uh, ok. Heh. Good. Youre mr. Sun, and i am the earth. I spin around. Uhuhuhoohyeeyee and at the same time, i the earth slowly travel around the sun. So the creatures on earth get to see different parts of the sky oh. So it only looks like the stars and constellations move. Right. Our sauropod constellation looks like it moved to a different place in the sky from earlier tonight. But the earth was the thing that moved. Huh. Learned another new thing today. But what are those two glowing things . Theyre moving faster. Huh . Bloouuugh aah hello, sonny boy. Mother oh, hello, sydney. Lovely stars tonight. Hello, auntie. Yes. Whew. Stupendous stars. Aw, you always loved the constellations. Well pteranodon family, time to head back to the night train. All abooooard mother, as i said earlier that is my job. Oh, right. Ha ha ha i keep forgetting. Oh, all aboard. Sydney, thank you for a starrific evening thank you, sydney we learned so much bye hoo hoo hoo thanks for visiting, pteranodon family. Keep stargazing and follow the stars bye, sydney. Bye, cuz. Ha ha ha look its the fish. Ooh theres the sauropod hey if you connect those stars, it makes a constellation that looks like a shell. Ohh look, look up there connect the stars. Its my donstellation [cheering] way to go, don good job great great job hi, there. Im dr. Scott, the paleontologist. And this is sinovenator. Like its cousin troodon, sinovenator may have been nocturnal, which means it was most active at night. We humans tend to be most active during the daytime, but its a lot of fun to go outside at night. Hey, theres Sidney Sinovenator pointing out all the stars. On a clear night like this, you can see hundreds of stars in the sky. Look at them all. Come on, lets count them. Are you ready . 1, 2, 3. Oh, forget it its hard to believe, but theres actually billions of stars out there in the universe. If you look closely, you can see constellations groups of stars that form a pattern. Its kind of like playing connect the dots, but at night. Now, if we connect the stars over here, we get a constellation called the big dipper. And heres a constellation called the little dipper. And that bright star is called the north star, or polaris. You can be a stargazer too. Just get outside into your backyard, or better yet, far away from all the city lights, and look up at the hundreds of stars. Ill bet youll be able to find plenty of cool constellations. Ok, keep watching for more dinosaur discoveries. Hello, folks. Its me the conductor. Today buddy, tiny shiny, and don decide to start their own club all about nature, so come on along with me on the dinosaur train. All aboard ha you sure love digging holes, don. I do. Want to help me dig another one . My little t. Rex arms are tired. I think ill just see what tiny and shiny are doing. Ok. More holes for me. Hey, buddy, my old buddy. Hi, tiny. What you doing . Watching shiny. Shes building something amazing out of shells. See. Its a little nest. Ooh. Its just the right size for my tiny dolls. Ill be right back. Your shell nest looks so cozy, shiny. I wish i could just curl up inside it and take a nap. Don, what a great idea. A nap . No. The nest. I dont think i can fit in the nest, buddy. Maybe if i make myself really small. No. I mean, why dont we make your own kidsize nest right here on the beach. Huh . Yeah. Out of sticks and branches and stuff. It would be our very own beach nest. We could play in it. And take naps in it . Well, sure, don. Lets do it whew. Rark over there. Not like that. Good. Uh [snoring] wow. Its perfect. And it would make a perfect clubhouse. Yeah yay wait if were going to have our own clubhouse, we have to decide what our club is about. I never thought of that. Hmm. Well, we all love exploring and having adventures. It could be a club about exploring. How about collecting things . I could start a new Nature Collection down here and keep it in the nest. It could be a club where we play our games, like tracking all the creatures that live around us. You know, out here in nature. Yeah, tracking means following a creatures tracks. We all love nature, so lets make it about loving nature. Yeah. The we all love nature club . Hmm. Needs to sound more adventurous. The nature exploring adventurers . Keep trying. We all like being outside. The outsiders . The outsidees . Don, arent we pretty much always outside . We all like tracking. Thats adventurous. Hmm. Ah. I know. The nature trackers. Yeah were the nature trackers woo fantastic. Now, lets get this club organized. First thing we do wait, wait. How come youre in charge . Because the nature trackers club was my idea. Hey, it was just as much my idea or buddys. Come on, nature trackers, the first thing well do is explore whats way up high in the air. Uh, shiny, i cant fly. Then. Lets play a game where we can explore whats down on the ground. Well call it how low can you go. Ok, nature trackers, what amazing nature do you observe down here on the ground . Observe means to look closely and carefully. Well, i discovered that lots of things in nature are really really small. Yeah. And if you take the time to look carefully really close to the ground, you can find all kinds of things. Yeah, like bugs. [chomp] don, were observing the nature that we find, not eating it. Ha ha. Did you ever notice that when you look at a leaf really closely, you can see these little lines in them . No. And did you ever notice there are teeny tiny flowers down here . And tiny little shells. I think its some kind of a snail. Aah well, thats enough exploring down here on the ground. Lets explore something else. Go nature tracking down at the shore. [humming] ah hmm . Rark hey, come on but shiny, we were just Getting Started finding cool stuff down here on the ground. Yeah, see how low we can go. Well, now its time to do something else. So how come youre in charge again . cause were the nature trackers, and were tracking nature. And because i thought of it. But pretty much kind of everybody thought of it, and now were all going to the edge of the water and turn rocks over. Come on, nature trackers lets see what kind of nature we can find under rocks. Rark ooh, look at all these little crabs. Don, dont eat the nature remember . Were observing it. Hey, i think i found a hermit crab. Oh i know all about hermit crabs. Hello. Youre a hermit crab, arent you . Huh . Why, yes, i am. What are you . Were pteranodons, and my brother is a t. Rex. My name is shiny. Hello, shiny. My name is herbie. Herbie hermit crab. Actually, herbie, you look a lot like another hermit crab i know. Hes from the big pond, and his name is henry. Henry . You know old henry . Please say hello for me the next time youre at the big pond. I will. I like your shell. How long have you lived in it . Yeah, its nice, isnt it . I moved into this one a few weeks ago. Im always looking for new shells, too. But i dont live in them. I collect them, especially the shiny ones. You dont say . Yep. We started a club. Were the nature trackers. Were all outside observing nature. Thats why we observed you. Oh, ha ha. Thats very flattering. Like i noticed that your shell is blue but with little darker blue spots on it. Well, what do you know . Youre right and right now were down here at the edge of the wat what . Excuse me a moment. Sure rark come on, you guys were still exploring along the shore no. Were putting the stuff we found in our new clubhouse. Im gonna start a beach collection. But we were tracking nature. Come on back where we were before. Were having fun over here. No. We have to be organized were the nature trackers. Hey, if youre just gonna boss us around, maybe being nature trackers is a bad idea. What . Yeah, maybe we shouldnt be nature trackers anymore. Maybe we should quit. Rark but tiny, you cant quit oh, yeah . Im quitting right now. Whats going on . Wait a minute. I got a mouthful of fish. Ptoo there. Now thats better. Whats the problem, tiny and shiny . Well, it all started when shiny made a nest out of shells. And then buddy thought we should build a nest of our own to play in. Hmm. Well, that is some nest, kids. Thanks. So we built it, and then shiny said that since we have a new clubhouse, we should be a club and we all thought of names. Like the nature exploring adventurers and the outsidees cause were always outside. And then i thought of the nature trackers, and everyone agreed, so there you go but now shiny wants to be the boss well, i did think of the idea for the club and the name [all arguing] rrrrrrr wait a minute this is all great. You built your own clubhouse. And then you started a nature trackers club. Fantastic, team. So why are you fighting about anything . cause we couldnt decide who was in charge . Well, you kids are on the right track to get out into nature and make discoveries. And no one has to be in charge. But theres so much to learn about nature. We have to do it right what if we make mistakes . You can make mistakes. You dont have to know everything. If you did know everything well, then you wouldnt be able to make any new discoveries. Really . Really. You figure it out as you go. What have you discovered so far . We brought everything we found back here to the clubhouse. Don wants to start a beach collection. Yeah and maybe even a museum. Wow leaves, shells feathers, and look at this little piece of coral. Did you know that coral is made by tiny animals that live in groups . Theyre called colonies. Really . Who told you that . Oh, my dad, probably. He taught me all kinds of stuff about the sea. I still learn new stuff about fishing, and ive been fishing since i was your size. Wait. You were once my size . I sure was. Whoa. The point is, there dont have to be any rules to be nature trackers. You just need to remember to have fun, look around you. Theres trees, the sea and sand and plants and animals. Nature is incredible. Ah dads right. We dont have to know everything or do everything right. We just have to get outside, get into nature, and make our own discoveries. Yeah rark get up, get outside get into nature get into nature get up, get outside get into nature meet a new creature theres living things all around just look around yeah, down on the ground if you really get close and Pay Attention theres almost too many things to mention so get up, get outside get into nature get into nature get up, get outside meet a new creature check out his features instead of looking for great big things look for something tiny you might find something down in a hole you might find something shiny rark so get up, get outside get into nature get into nature get up, get outside get into nature get into nature oh, get into nature yeah lets go, nature well, nature trackers, its time for dinner. Lets go up to the nest and eat. Well, wait, hon. What if we have dinner down here at the kids new beach nest clubhouse . That is, if its ok with the nature trackers. Yeah thats ok hi, there. Im dr. Scott, the paleontologist. And its time for nature trackers. The nature trackers yeah the ocean is a fantastic place, because its home to all kinds of plants and animals. One of the best places you can explore the ocean is a tidepool. A tidepool is a body of salt water left by the ocean at low tide when the water level is at its lowest. There are so many types of organisms here like seastars, mussels, and barnacles. Scientists use tidepools to learn all kinds of things about all kinds of creatures. It helps them understand more about the environment we live in. You can study tidepools too. Why not plan a Scavenger Hunt at the beach and see how many plants and Sea Creatures you can find . Science and nature are everywhere. So remember, get outside, get into nature and make your own discoveries. Lets imagine were wearing space suits. Whoa oh, cool girl its a lot of fun to imagine things with elmo, being anything you want to be and going anywhere you want to go. Shape ahoy add a bunch of math. Subtraction and some silly song and dance. Elmo elmo the musical girl you get. Elmo the musical elmo the musical this is elmos story. Anything can happen.
