1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,880
Speaker 1: Parents. We hope you've been enjoying our podcasts. Did you

2
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:06,400
Speaker 1: know we also have an app? Get it today and

3
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 1: discover why over fifty million kids love playing and learning

4
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 1: with the Lingo Kids app. Have you ever played the

5
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:17,919
Speaker 1: Which Ways More? Game? What's that? It goes something like this,

6
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 1: which ways more a cat or a mouse?

7
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:25,279
Speaker 2: A cat?

8
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 1: Yes, Let's try another, which ways more a baby or

9
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 1: a cell phone? A baby? You got it? Welcome to

10
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 1: Storytime by Lingo Kids, where we discover fascinating facts about

11
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 1: the world around us and the fun of play learning.

12
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,200
Speaker 1: Join us as we learn about weight, all the while

13
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 1: helping Lisa pack her suitcase.

14
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 2: I'm so excited to go on vacation to the beach.

15
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 2: I just have one problem.

16
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: What's your problem? Lisa?

17
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 2: My suitcase is so heavy I can hardly even lift it.

18
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:14,839
Speaker 1: Yelp good, Yeah, oh my Lisa, what did you pack

19
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: in that suitcase? Let's see here.

20
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 2: Here's a box of crayons?

21
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 1: Is that heavy? Good? Question? Whether something is heavy or not?

22
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 1: Is relative?

23
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 2: Relative?

24
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: Like ray kusin no cawie. In this case, the word

25
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:39,479
Speaker 1: relative means in comparison to something else. What do you mean?

26
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 1: For example, Lisa's box of crayons is heavier compared to

27
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: a chickens feather, but it's lighter compared to the whole chicken.

28
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: I agree, Billy. Lisa's box of crayons doesn't weigh much

29
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 1: compared to her whole suitcase, so it can stay in there.

30
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: What else do you have in your suitcase? Lisa?

31
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 2: What's see? Ha? Here's my blow up dolphin floaty pool toy.

32
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,119
Speaker 2: I'm going to blow it up to show you.

33
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 1: That's so big.

34
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 2: No wonder Lisa's suitcase is so heavy?

35
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: Is it heavy? Lisa?

36
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 2: Nope, it weighs even less than my box of crayons.

37
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 2: No way, It's bigger, so it must be heavier.

38
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 1: Actually, Elliott, just because something is bigger than something else

39
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: does not mean that it weighs more.

40
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 2: Huh, what do you mean?

41
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 1: Weight doesn't just depend on how big something is, but

42
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:50,079
Speaker 1: also what it's made of. Take Lisa's floaty toy. What's

43
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 1: inside it? It's full of air, that's right, and air

44
00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: hardly weighs anything. So even though the floating way is

45
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: much bigger than the box of crayons, it weighs less.

46
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:08,519
Speaker 1: Oh I get it. Lingo, kids listeners, can you think

47
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: of two objects where the bigger object weighs less than

48
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: the smaller one. Did you think of any examples.

49
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 2: A beach ball and a baseball, a pillow and a toaster?

50
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: Yes, and yes those are great examples to show that

51
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: weight is not just about size, but also what something

52
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: is made of. I have a.

53
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 2: Question, how do we like really know how much something

54
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 2: exactly weighs?

55
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: We have standard units of weight. That's right, Billy. Just

56
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: like when we were making the treehouse, we learned about

57
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: standard units of length to figure out how long something is,

58
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:03,119
Speaker 1: there's a unit of weight as well. What is it?

59
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: There's one system where we use a standard called pounds

60
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: and another system where we use kilos. And just like

61
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: we use a ruler to measure length, can anyone think

62
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 1: of a tool we use to measure weight? A hammer?

63
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:23,159
Speaker 1: Good guess, but no, lingo kids, listeners, can you think

64
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 1: of a tool we use to measure weight? Is it

65
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 1: a scale? Yes? We use scales to measure weight. So, Lisa,

66
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 1: how much does your suitcase weig? Lifting my suitcase?

67
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:54,039
Speaker 2: On my scale? It says seventy pounds? Is that how

68
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 2: much a whale? Aways?

69
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: Blue whales are both the biggest and heaviest animals on Earth.

70
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: They weigh up to four hundred and twenty thousand pounds.

71
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 2: WHOA, that's heavy.

72
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: Yes, it is. In fact, just their tongues weigh as

73
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 1: much as an elephant.

74
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 2: I've learned a lot about weight, but my suitcase is

75
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 2: still so heavy.

76
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: What should I do? Uh, Lisa, what's inside that big

77
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 1: brown box in your suitcase?

78
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 2: That's my entire rock collection. I want to find rocks

79
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 2: on the beach and add to it.

80
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 1: Collecting rocks is such a cool hobby, Lisa. But how

81
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: about you bring the rocks you find on the beach

82
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 1: back home and then add them to your collection. Hmm,

83
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: good idea.

84
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 2: I'll take my rock collection out of my suitcase, and

85
00:05:53,880 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 2: now my suitcase is oh so much lighter. Thank you,

86
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 2: I'm all set for my beach vacation.

87
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,560
