Ice-cream? Ice-cream?
Try estimating first
Balloons are very hard to use
They vary of at first
Mini-mat, mini-mat, mini-mat, mini-mat
Heeny, meeny, miny-mat, heeny, meeny, miny-mat
That's a nodule, but a nodule, don't you let him go
What have we here?
A sphere
And here? Another sphere as well
Both hanging from the ends of a pole
But the pole is hanging too
Look, I'll show you
See right here?
A string in the hay diddle diddle
That's the middle
Now, the mass of this sphere and the mass of that sphere
Must both be the same because they balance
You see, the pole goes straight across
Look, a cube made from squares
And another cube as well
On another pole that's hanging by its middle
And they balance too
See, the pole goes straight across
So the mass of both the cubes must be the same
Jumping jellyfish
Just look what's happened here
This pole is hanging too
But something's wrong
This heavy mass is hanging down
So this mass must be light
Let's try and make them balance
I guess it wasn't such a good idea to use feathers
I know someone else who's going to fly away
Just like the feathers
A long way away in a land far away
Lived an owl called Mr. Who
He lived in a hole in the trunk of a tree
And his favorite food was stew
Now, once every fortnight, that's every two weeks
He took out his big heavy pot
And made enough stew to last him right through the two weeks
And that's quite a lot
Well, today is the day, said Mr. Who
To cook up some more, so get busy
Then he took out some carrots, potatoes and peas
Some celery and onion and parsley
And he measured how much by just using his hands
Yes, near enough
That'll do nicely
The next thing to do was put in the meat
But there was none in the house
And Mr. Who's stew just wouldn't be the same
Without a fresh piece of snake and a mouse
I'll just have to fly into town to the butcher and buy some
Said Mr. Who
And he picked up a shopping bag made out of string
As light as a feather or two
He waved goodbye to the possum next door
Then took off to buy his fresh meat
When he came to the river, he stopped for a while for a drink
And to paddle his feet
And that's when he saw it
A hippopotamus bird, it's true, take a look over there
Surely you've heard of the hippo bird
The heaviest bird in the air
It's time to get going, said Mr. Who
Or I'll never finish that stew
So he picked up his bag and he flew into town
To the butcher called Butch Kangaroo
He asked for three snakes and 21 worms
And a kilogram of grey mice too
Which is almost the same on the balance scale
As a baby red kangaroo
Then Butch wrapped all the meat up in paper
And put it in Mr. Who's bag
And when Mr. Who flew out the butcher shop window
That poor old string bag sagged
It was heavy, so heavy
He could hardly fly, so he stopped
And he had an idea
If I chop all the meat into smaller pieces
They'll be lighter, now that seems clear
But guess what
When he cut that meat into much smaller pieces
It was exactly the same as before
Its mass was the same, it was just as heavy
Not the slightest bit less or more
He was just about to start off again
When he heard what he thought was a yelp
And high on the cliff he saw a goat
A little goat calling for help
Ma, ma
He was stuck, couldn't move, couldn't climb up or down
But what could Mr. Who do?
How could he rescue this poor little goat
And look after his meat for the stew?
And then he remembered the balance scales
That he saw at Butch Kangaroo's
So he found a long straight wooden pole
And up the cliff he flew
On one end he tied the bag of meat
And he tied the goat to the other
Somehow, he said, I'll get that meat to my stew
And you back home to your mother
When he lifted that pole in the middle with his feet
It balanced and down they all came
And that must mean the mass of the meat
And the mass of the goat are the same
Now when Mr. Who finally made that stew
He invited the goat and his mother
But they ate so much that poor Mr. Who
Knew he'd just have to make another
You find one coat hanger
Two containers and some string
You cut the string into two pieces the same length
And loop them through the coat hanger at the ends
Then you tie the string to the top of the container
Where there are two holes
And, skalooskaleo, you have your own balance scales
Now all we need is someone to hold it
Hmm, let's see if Mr. Snodgill knows how to use balance scales
First of all, Mr. Snodgill, I'm going to blindfold you
Right, now I'm going to give you some heavy and some light things
And I want you to estimate
Is this heavier than that or is this lighter than that?
Hmm, let's see
Now you can take the blindfold off
And see how good you are at estimating by using the balance scales
Now this orange is heavier than the biscuit
Yes!
Go away, scales! This little sphere is heavier than the big sphere?
Yes!
Now this last one was a bit tricky
It was hard to decide, but I think the toothbrush has about the same mass as the cheese stick
Let's see
Yes! Woo!
I wonder how many of Hoggle Boggle's relations and friends it will take to balance one kilogram
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 15, 20, 30, 50, 100, 563, 1428, 72,416, 5,426,393 worms to balance one kilogram
Hey Mr. Snodgel, what kind of things do you think would have the same mass as a kilogram?
I don't know
Let's see
It still has the same mass
I know that
Look at these pieces of plasticine
They have the same mass
One of them divides into four and look, they still have the same mass
If it divides again, the mass is still equal
See, it's easy
I'm going to take these parcels to the post office and post them to Hoggle Boggle
Woo!
Before I find the mass of these parcels, I think I'll find out what my mass is
Hmm
Look at all those scales
I'll put the smallest parcel on the small scales and the biggest parcel on those big scales
Now this little parcel would probably be very light
Yes, it is very light
I think this middle sized parcel would be heavier
Yes, its mass is nearly a kilogram
And this great big parcel would be even heavier
Wait a minute, it's lighter than the middle sized one
That means that the biggest parcel is not always the heaviest
And now to the shops to buy things for Hoggle Boggle's party
I want some of that round one, the one that's shaped like a circle
Oh, there it is, Ritz sausage
Hmm
What's next?
Oh, I know.
Some fruit.
I'd like some fruit that's shaped like a circle.
There's some.
And it'll all end up in Hoggleboggle's tummy.
Come to think of it, Hoggleboggle's middle is also like a circle.
da Own's
And in the next program, the party!
See you then, bye bye!
I feel fantastic, I feel like I can fly.
It's nothing new, it's right and true, it's awesome.
How do you get your heart?
Little lovin' every single day.
It's like a little lovin' a hunt.
That keeps the dark from your way.
Here they come, that's why I'm so satisfied.
Little lovin', this medication of life.
Here they come, I'm everyday, not a day.
And in the next program...
This thing goes on, disco doesn't stop, the music doesn't stop, and finally, I'm going to stop!
Hidy, hidy, hoo!
There's a place I know where we should go.
Won't you take me there, you lady bear?
There's a roof nearby, the grass grows high.
Hidy, hidy, hoo!
We're the broken hearts, side by side.
Hidy, hidy, hoo!
Hooray, hooray, it's a holly, holly day.
What a world of fun for everyone.
Holly, holly day.
Hooray, hooray, it's a holly, holly day.
Sing a summer song, people on.
Holly, holly day, it's a holly, holly day.
There's a magic bear and a far from bear.
Hidy, hidy, hoo!
On a carousel, it's a wind up bell.
Hidy, hidy, hoo!
On the loop-de-loop, we'll swing and swing.
Hidy, hidy, hoo!
And what else we'll do, up to you.
Hidy, hidy, hoo!
Hooray, hooray, it's a holly, holly day.
What a world of fun for everyone.
Holly, holly day.
Hooray, hooray, it's a holly, holly day.
Sing a summer song, people on.
Holly, holly day, it's a holly, holly day.
Beat any more about the bushes.
Well, Captain Manic has no intention of beating about the bushes.
He doesn't like that sort of thing at all.
Well, don't apologize to him. He's the one who's in the wrong.
You are the one who's in the wrong. You have no papers.
Yes, we're awfully sorry about all that.
No, we're not at all...
We'll see.
Anyway, I don't need papers. I'm British.
I'm just some foreigner. What's more, I'm known to everybody in the area.
I do not know you.
I'm going to phone my commanding officer.
When he hears about this, your feet won't touch the ground.
Won't be necessary for you to phone anybody.
That's better.
You see, as soon as you call that bluff, they climb down.
I demand the release of my colleague.
Ah, so that man is your colleague, eh?
That's very interesting.
I'm sorry.
You're a fine gallant man, Captain Memrin, you are.
I've always said that through thick and thin, you'd stand by your comrades.
And you have.
That wasn't a gallantry.
It's sheer stupidity.
I think my mum will be allowed to send me a red cross parcel.
Go away, Pint.
What time do you think they'll serve dinner?
It'll be fatty soup.
They always serve fatty soup in these places.
It's one thing I can't stand, is fatty soup!
No, I'm serious. I almost control myself.
What do you find so funny, Wilson?
Just a thought.
Do officers have confidential reports?
Oh, yes. The same for all of us.
Yes. I wonder what the colonel must say on yours when he gets to hear about all this.
I'm sorry.
You're doing it with both hands now.
