"Oh Parachute."
It was a tug-of-war between me and the crocodile.
He had Franki Fly in his big ol' chompers.
Oh no!
What did you do?
Well, I wasn't about to let him eat my favourite doll!
I had to think on the fly.
So I kicked off my shoes and flung them into the river.
Wow! Must be the crocodile story again.
The splash distracted the croc long enough for me to grab Franki Fly,
-but not before he ate her parachute. -Wow!
-Yikes. -Oh my gosh!
And that is the story of how Franki Fly lost her parachute.
Even without it, she's still the coolest doll I've ever seen.
-Tell us more stories, Great Aunt Rose. -Please, Ms… Great Aunt… Ma'am.
Sorry, champs. Got to run to my weekly laser-tag showdown with the Riveters.
-Aww, man. -Okay.
Are you taking Franki Fly with you?
Nah. Franki loves adventures, but she's not much of a laser-tag girl.
Why don't you three keep her company?
Really?
Uh-huh. I'll be back later
for a slice of that scrumptious banana bread your mum is making.
-Take good care of Franki till then. -We promise.
-For sure. -You bet.
Yay!
I can't believe we get to play with Great Aunt Rose's special-est doll.
I wish she still had her parachute, though.
She could jump from high places like she used to.
Rosie, we're scientists. We can make her a parachute.
Oh yeah! Doy!
It probably needs to be lightweight, but strong.
-Hmm. -I got it!
We can make it with this laundry bag.
Boom. Parachute.
-Ooh. -Get ready to jump, Franki Fly!
Wait! We should test the parachute before we drop it.
-To make sure it's safe for Franki Fly. -I don't wanna break her. What do we do?
Maybe we could find a test object to use in place of the doll.
Yeah! Like a crash test dummy.
Um, Rosie, my dad said that's not a very nice word.
No, a dummy's something scientists use to test how safe stuff is for humans.
Like cars.
Oh! Or in our case, we'll test how safe a parachute is for the doll.
Great Aunt Rose's favourite doll. Can we just use one like that?
Well, he's way bigger and heavier than a doll.
Good point.
Franki Fly is small, so our test dummy should be too.
Okay, so we need something small and breakable
that we won't get in trouble for breaking?
Where will we find something like that?
I think we found our crash test dummies.
-That works. -Perfect.
Mum, can we break these eggs for science?
Affirm! That's pilot speak for "yes."
Bring back the shells to use for plant fertilizer.
-We will. -Thanks!
Loading the lab.
Say hello to our first crash test dummy, Eggward.
-He's cute. -Hi, Eggward.
Don't worry, Franki Fly.
We're gonna make sure this parachute is super safe before we put you in it.
Super-duper safe.
Super-duper-trooper safe. That's really safe.
Iggy, fire up the claw.
Let's see.
I think this is the right button.
Whoa! No, no!
Oh! Wedgie! Wedgie, wedgie!
That was not the right button.
Now we're ready for drop test number one. Hit it, Iggy.
This one's got to be the right button.
-Eggward! -Don't look, Franki Fly.
-Aww, man. -Hmm.
This crash test was really crashy. The parachute fell way too fast.
Probably means there wasn't enough air resistance.
Great Aunt Rose says parachutes need a lot of that.
Hmm. Air resistance?
I know I have something about that in my notes.
Oh, here.
That's a force that pushes against a moving object, like a parachute,
to slow it down.
But if the air goes through holes, there's not much resistance.
-Makes sense. -I think we've got a hypothesis.
I've got a hypothesis I've got a hypothesis
-Does that -Observation
-Mean this -Explanation?
Right or wrong Let's find out what the answer is!
It might not be right But we'll find out
-What this theory is -All about
-Will an educated guess -Stand up to a test?
Yes, that's what a hypothesis is!
I've got a hypothesis I've got a hypothesis
Let's find out how right it is
Let's go!
What's our hippocampus?
Uh… Hippogriff?
Hmm. I mean hypersniff.
Oh, phooey! You know what I mean.
Our hypothesis is if the parachute doesn't have holes,
there'll be more air resistance it'll fall slower.
-Let's test it. -Hmm. Let's use this. See? No holes.
-Good thinking. -Nice.
Don't worry, Shelly.
This parachute is sure to have more air resistance than the last one.
Only one way to find out. Drop it like it's hot, Iggy.
Phew. Okay.
-It's-- -Oh, man.
Sorry, Shelly.
It fell slower, but not slow enough.
There wasn't enough resistance, but the parachute didn't have holes.
Maybe to create more air resistance, we need more parachute?
You might be onto something, Iggy. New hypothesis.
If the parachute is bigger, there will be more air resistance!
Hope our new hy-poth-esis is right,
because Ewan McEggor doesn't wanna crack.
Release the chute, Iggy.
Oh, I'm so nervous, I can't watch. But I also really want to watch.
-Yes! -Look through your fingers, Iggy.
Amazing.
It's falling really slow.
-It worked! -Ewan McEggor didn't crack.
Our new hypothesis was right.
-Whoo-hoo! -Yeah!
-Yes! -We did it!
Oops! Ewan McEggor got Iggy'd.
Good news and bad news, Mum.
Bad news. Eggward, Shelly, and Ewan McEggor didn't make it.
You were good eggs.
Your shells will give my plants lots of nutrients. Thank you.
-What's the good news? -I think we built a parachute that works.
Can we test it out on the balcony? Pretty please?
Oh, a flight test? Of course you can.
Have a good drop, cadets. I mean, kids.
-Awesome! -Ye-e-es!
Okay, Franki Fly,
you ready to finally parachute again?
"Bet your balloons I am. Let's jump!"
One jump coming right up.
Yippee!
It's working.
"I'm going so slow."
Ugh! This is going to take forever.
"I'm off course!"
Franki!
Franki Fly! No!
We didn't think about wind in our tests.
In the lab, you can control conditions.
But you can't control the wind outside.
Too late to worry about that now.
We've gotta catch Franki before she blows away!
That way!
-Okay, over here! -This way!
That's it. Come to me, Franki.
No!
I promised Great Aunt Rose I'd take care of Franki Fly,
and instead, I lost her favourite doll.
We can still save her. We don't quit. We've got grit, right?
Yeah! Remember when the crocodile was about to eat Franki Fly?
-Great Aunt Rose didn't give up. -Right.
Great Aunt Rose would never let anything bad happen to Franki,
and neither will I!
We might not be able to control the wind,
but we can follow it.
Come on!
-I see her! -There she is!
No!
I wish there was a way to make her fall faster.
Oh! There is!
We make a hole in the parachute to decrease the air resistance.
-It's too high to reach. -We have to think on the fly.
-I love her engineering mode. -Me too.
Ooh! A slingshot? Genius.
Ready, aim, parachute.
-Right on target! -Perfect shot!
Aah! We gotta catch Franki before she hits the ground.
Hurry!
Coming, Franki!
Aah!
-You did it! -Wow!
-Yippee! -Catch you next week, ladies.
I want a rematch, Betty.
Hi, champs. And Franki Fly. Thanks for taking good care of her.
I didn't take good care of her.
We wanted to make her a new parachute, but she almost blew away.
But she didn't. So you must've come up with a clever idea to save her.
Yeah. I guess I did think of a pretty great idea. On the fly.
Just like I taught you. And what an impressive parachute.
I bet Franki loved her adventure.
Almost as much as she'll love her new owner.
Who?
Me? You're giving Franki Fly to me?
Yes. A doll, like a girl, needs adventures.
She's had tons of them with me.
Now it's time for her to have new ones, with you.
-Wow! -Oh my gosh!
-Ohhh! -Mmm!
I thought on the fly and made this slingshot to get her down.
That's the story of how Franki Fly got her parachute back.
And how I got my new favourite doll.
-Love that story! -What an adventure!
Now, who wants to see her jump?
-Me! -I do!
-Let's do it! -Go, Franki, go!
"Meltdown."
-There! -Ada, Iggy and Rosie are here!
-Hey, Ada! -Today's the day! Today's the day!
-Hi, Iggy. Hi, Rosie. -Hi!
Uh, what is that?
My snow-fort lab design. Like the McMurdo Station in Antarctica.
-McMur-who? -McMurdo.
The best scientists in the world go to do experiments in sub-zero temperatures.
We've got to build our fort today. I've been tracking the weather.
It won't be snowy again this winter.
Did you know the six main parts of weather?
Temperature, atmospheric pressure, wind, humidity, precipitation…
That's rain, drizzle, sleet, snow, hail--
I think we get it. The wet stuff.
-Yep. -Oh, and don't forget cloudiness.
I can't wait to do all our snowy experiments!
Snow dragons, snowball launchers…
The world's biggest snow cone!
Check out our fort when we build it.
I'm going to practise in the garage.
Thanks to the snow you love so much, I have to pivot.
-Pivot? -Go in a different direction.
You're just kids, but sometimes things don't go as planned,
so got to go to plan B.
-See ya! -Bye, Arthur.
-Ready, team? -Yeah!
Hold on, snowy explorers. Support staff has to do a supply check.
-Designs? -Check.
-Shovels? -Check.
-Snow-brick moulds? -Checkity-check-check!
-Double-fudge cocoa? -Huh?
I got them. I'll keep these here for later.
Just need marshmallows. You're good.
-Thanks, Dad! -Thanks, Mr T.
This is going to be so cool.
I mean, so cold.
The weather didn't say anything about blinding snow.
Or wind. Are we in Antarctica?
Huh? Mum!
Whoops! Sorry, guys.
Totally cloudy.
This is a great place for our lab. Let's build.
-Cool! -Yeah!
-It's even better in person. -Perfect.
Or brrr-fect?
And with this guy on watch, no one's going to get in.
Wow!
Cool snow fort, kids.
Uh, no one else.
Arthur likes our fort!
And he's the fort master.
Arthur, you can stay and hang out in our snow fort if you want.
No, thanks. I'm going back inside where it's warm.
Maybe Arthur would want to hang out in it if we added extra stuff.
Like a second floor or lookout towers.
Well, I'm ready to hang out in our fort just like it is. Let's go!
Right behind ya!
Hmm. How much snow equals the world's biggest snow cone?
How big is too big to determine if it stays frozen or falls apart?
Most importantly, do I make it raspberry or blueberry?
As soon as I make my giant snowball launcher,
I can do battle with my snow dragon.
What are you working on, Iggy?
Where's Iggy?
If I added more snow bricks,
the foundation could totally support lookout towers.
Hey, icicles aren't a part of my design.
Why does that wall look like that?
Huh? The dragon's alive! Aah!
Oh, Phew. It was just the ice grinding together when the wing fell off.
Wait, the wing fell off?
Ada, Rosie!
There you are!
Oh! The sun's melting our snow fort.
Aw, man. Our snow fort got sunned.
So, does that mean no snow-fort lab today?
Uh-uh. It's today or never, remember?
Right. We're scientists. We don't quit. We can figure it out.
-What do we do? -We need to keep the fort cold.
We could make snow?
-Yeah! -Great idea!
Loading the lab.
To make snow, we need very cold temperatures plus water.
I'll handle the cold.
I got the water.
Yeah! We've got snow.
-But it's melting. -Huh?
Because making snow only works if it's really cold outside.
-Hmm. True. -Huh.
Wait. When we're hot, we get in the shade.
I have an idea. Umbrellas.
We'll need a lot, but it's doable.
I'll design an umbrella shelter.
Perfect. I'll build it.
There.
This will keep the sun's radiation from being absorbed by the snow.
Otherwise known as shade.
Phew! The fort's safe for now.
But we need a more permanent solution.
Let's think inside where it's warm.
Well, I'd say it's cloudy with a chance of brainstorms.
Brainstorm, brainstorm!
Throw in every thought you had No idea is ever bad
Brainstorm, brainstorm!
Gather friends and try To find how, what, why
Brainstorm, brainstorm!
Let our imaginations Become great new creations
When we brainstorm, brainstorm Brainstorm, brainstorm! Hey!
Yetis love snow. Maybe they have some we could borrow.
It's a good thing I speak Yeti.
Yeti-yet-ahh-ooh-ooh-yah!
But Yetis live so far away.
By the time they got here, the snow-fort lab would be all melted.
I see what you mean. Get it? "Icy" what you mean?
Because ice?
I have an idea.
We could build a rocket ship to take the snow fort
to the coldest planet in the solar system, Neptune.
Bonus! Neptune looks like a gobstopper. Yum!
Mmm!
Uh-- Uh-oh.
A 'ittle 'elp, guys?
Just need a little warm water.
Aah! Ahhh.
But we'd have to go all the way to Neptune to get into our snow-fort lab.
Uh, what about a giant fridge?
Or an ice-cube machine? Or maybe a freeze ray? Or popsicles?
Snow dragons!
Oh, man. I'm so stressed, I can't think straight.
Ugh!
You might want to check on your fort. It's in pretty rough shape.
Aah!
-Aww, man. -Oh no!
The sun must have moved while we were inside.
-How long were we brainstorming? Aww.
Why can't the sun just stay put?
Well, the Earth revolves around the Sun,
so it's always moving.
Maybe Rosie was right,
and we should forget about the snow-fort today.
No! This is our last snowy day.
And I was going to add a second floor and lookout towers.
We have to save it.
Iggy, wait up!
Stay… snow.
Come on, stop melting.
I know scientists never quit, but maybe this is an exception?
We can build another fort, Iggy. This one's about to cave in.
Waah! Yeah, you might be right.
-Whoa! -Oh no!
We can get out this way. Slide!
Oh yeah!
Whee!
Aww. That wasn't supposed to happen.
Ada tracked the weather. Rosie's engineering was perfect.
Yeah, it was.
But it's like a dragon breathed its hot breath
all over our beautiful snow-fort lab.
Wait! Maybe not hot dragon breath but a warm air front.
That's a warm air mass that replaces a cold air mass
that creates big changes in temperature.
That can change any time because of winds, storms, and air masses called "fronts."
How does that work?
Let's put on our imagination caps.
This is Ada Twist with the weather. We're in a cold front, folks.
Boy, I'm cold!
But this just in. A warm front is headed our way.
Sometimes when my mum runs into fronts when she's flying,
she has to change course.
-Like now! -Wow!
So your mum pivots. Goes to plan B! Just like Arthur's practice!
Yeah! Uh-oh.
-Aah! -Look out!
Too bad I didn't have a plan B.
-Whee! -Nice slide, Rosie.
I have an idea for a new design.
Another snow-fort lab?
Nope. I'm going to pivot.
Design something that's perfect for this.
-Whee! -Yay!
Whoo-hoo!
This slushy snow park is so cool, Iggy. I don't even mind being cold.
It's really cool, Iggy. Cooler than a polar bear's toenails.
Something to warm you up.
I promised marshmallows, but we're out, so I went with plan B. Whipped cream!
-Thanks, Dad! -Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm!
-Yum! -Mmm. Plan B never tasted so good.
I just wish I had something to remember the snow-fort lab by.
-Hey, look what I have. -The picture you took earlier!
Yup. It really was a cool snow fort.
Thanks, Arthur.
No problem!
Let's go!
-Yeah! -Awesome!
-Whoo-hoo! -Don't worry, Iggy.
-We'll make a snow-fort lab next winter. -Yeah! Oh!
And if the weather changes, I have a plan B.
Solar-powered ice maker.
And a plan C. A snow dome, because heat rises.
And a plan D.
[child] No, no.
Okay.
