1 00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:07,320 Speaker 1: The Lingo Kids' friends usually spend summer together, but this 2 00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:10,799 Speaker 1: year Leadia, Nie, Cowie, and Billy are in one place 3 00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:13,800 Speaker 1: and Elliot is far away. 4 00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:16,320 Speaker 2: In another part of the world. 5 00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:21,000 Speaker 3: Summer isn't as fun with Elliot gone. 6 00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:23,919 Speaker 2: I wonder what Elliott is doing. 7 00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:27,360 Speaker 1: Maybe we can help our Lingo Kids' friends connect even 8 00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:32,640 Speaker 1: though they're in different countries. Welcome to Stories for Kids 9 00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:36,519 Speaker 1: by Lingo Kids, where we discover fascinating facts about the 10 00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:41,040 Speaker 1: world around us and the fun of play learning. Lingo 11 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:45,240 Speaker 1: Kids listeners, do you want to travel in time? Yeah? 12 00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:49,199 Speaker 1: Lingo Kids listeners will be using technology to help our 13 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:53,599 Speaker 1: Lingo Kids friends get in touch with Elliot. It's important 14 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 1: to ask for an adult's help when using a mobile phone. 15 00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 1: We'll be using a fall to explain some science. As 16 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:06,600 Speaker 1: you listen, you can hold a ball and follow along. Lisa, 17 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 1: Callie and Billy are having a blast this summer in 18 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 1: sunny southern California. 19 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,840 Speaker 2: It's on the West coast of the United States. 20 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 1: The beach is the perfect place to beat the summer heat. 21 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 2: Let's flash around to cool down. The ocean is so big. 22 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 2: This is the Pacific Ocean. 23 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:36,040 Speaker 1: Guess who's on the other side of this ocean, Elliott, Right, Billy. 24 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 1: Elliott's on the east coast of Australia in a place 25 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 1: called New South Wales. 26 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 2: Great idea, Billy, it's video call Elliott. But Elliott isn't 27 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 2: awake yet. 28 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 1: Lisa, it's ten o'clock in the morning here, but it's 29 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 1: three o'clock tomorrow morning for Elliott. 30 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 3: Hi, tomorrow, three o'clock crazy, I know, I'll try to explain. 31 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 2: Grab that beach ball, Lisa. 32 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 1: Okay, put one hand on top and one on the 33 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:17,239 Speaker 1: bottom like this, perfect. Your hands are at the north 34 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: and south poles. 35 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,240 Speaker 2: Oh, the ball is Earth. 36 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:27,640 Speaker 1: Yes, Tilt the ball just a little now, Cowie. Slowly 37 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 1: turn the ball so it spins. It takes twenty four 38 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,919 Speaker 1: hours for Earth to do one spin. See how when 39 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 1: one side of the ball is facing the sun, the 40 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:39,240 Speaker 1: other side is not. 41 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 3: Oh, the sunny side is day and the dark side 42 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 3: is night. 43 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 2: Right. 44 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:50,640 Speaker 1: Imagine twenty four stripes or zones around the ball, going 45 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 1: from the north to the south pole. If you travel 46 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,800 Speaker 1: within the same stripe or zone, time stays the same. 47 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: Guess what happens when you leave your time time zone? 48 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 2: Time changes. 49 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:14,639 Speaker 1: That's why it's a different time where Elliott is in Australia. 50 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 2: Sure, Billy. 51 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 1: We could go online to find what time it is 52 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 1: for Elliott, or we can count it ourselves. It's ten 53 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 1: am here in California. As we move east around the globe, 54 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 1: how many time zones do we cross? So New South 55 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,839 Speaker 1: Wales is seventeen hours ahead of us. 56 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 2: When can we call Elliott. 57 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 1: Let's call at five pm tonight before dinner. 58 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 2: That's ten in the morning for Elliott. 59 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 3: Hello, surprise Elliott. 60 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 2: Wow, Hey, guys, we miss you. I miss you too. 61 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 2: You're in bathing suits. We're in California on the beach. 62 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 2: It's hot and fun, but it would be more funked 63 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:24,720 Speaker 2: with you, Elliott. 64 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:33,279 Speaker 3: I'm wearing a puffer jacket, Billy, because I'm going skiing, 65 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,040 Speaker 3: skiing in the summer. 66 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 2: It's winter here. What how can it be summer here 67 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 2: in winter? 68 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:48,839 Speaker 1: There? Toss me our beach ball again, Lisa. Imagine a 69 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,919 Speaker 1: line around the middle of the ball. The top half 70 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 1: is called the Northern Hemisphere. The bottom half is the 71 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 1: Southern Hemisphere. Which half are we in? 72 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:03,719 Speaker 2: I think the North? Yep, then I'm in the South. 73 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:08,679 Speaker 1: That's why Australia is sometimes called the land down Under. 74 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 2: So while we are in summer. 75 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 3: I'm in a winter We're hot and he's not. Hey, 76 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,039 Speaker 3: I can't wait to play with you guys. Maybe I'll 77 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 3: bring back some snowballs. That's silly. 78 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 1: Well, although we're hours apart, I'm thankful technology can bring 79 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:28,159 Speaker 1: us together. 80 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:34,839 Speaker 2: We can me three buy Elliott, see you soon. 81 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,239 Speaker 1: In no time, Elliott will be with us, same time, 82 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:46,479 Speaker 1: same place, same season. Yeah, Lingo Kids listeners, we had 83 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 1: a great time today connecting with our friend Elliott. We 84 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 1: learned that time zones help us keep track of time 85 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,919 Speaker 1: while the Earth spins. We also learned that as the 86 00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: Earth circles the Sun, where you are on the planet, 87 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 1: it determines the season. Lingo Kids, listeners, can you draw 88 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 1: a picture of what your weather is like right now? 89 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 1: You can ask a grown up to help take some 90 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: pictures and send them to us so we can share 91 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 1: on our social media.
