00:00Oh, oh, oh, oh, hi! Welcome to Sesame Street.
00:04Oh, Elmo and his friends are just playing tag.
00:07Tag!
00:08Hey, there, there!
00:09No, no, no! Elmo's gonna get home!
00:11Come back here! Come back!
00:13Oh, no, no, no!
00:14No!
00:16These are my class's science experiments!
00:19Wow! The kids in Gordon's class do science experiments?
00:23Well, yeah. Yeah, my students are great scientists.
00:26Wait a minute.
00:27Do you mean to tell me that kids can be scientists?
00:31Of course! Anybody can be a scientist.
00:33Even Elmo can be a scientist?
00:36Absolutely.
00:37You just need to be able to ask questions and investigate.
00:43Investigate?
00:43Yeah, well, that means that you do things that will help you find the answers to your questions.
00:48Wow! Well, Elmo likes asking questions.
00:51Oh, and Elmo loves to investigate, too!
00:54Yeah, yeah, yeah! Me, too!
00:56Yeah! Me, three!
00:57Well, that means you can all be scientists.
00:59Then let's do it!
01:01See, let's be scientists!
01:03Yeah!
01:04We're happy to explore.
01:06We'll observe that miss.
01:07We'll investigate new things.
01:08We're happy scientists!
01:10We'll ask some happy questions.
01:11Friends will insist.
01:12We'll learn lots of happy things.
01:14We're happy scientists.
01:15We're happy, happy, happy, happy, happy scientists!
01:17Okay, Gordon, what can the happy scientists investigate?
01:23Well, just look around and see if there's anything on Sesame Street that you might have questions about.
01:30Okay!
01:30Does anybody have any questions about street signs?
01:36No!
01:38Hmm.
01:39Anyone have any questions about a mailbox?
01:43No!
01:43Oh!
01:46Oh, look!
01:47Look at that!
01:48Leela is giving Barkley a bath!
01:50Hey!
01:52Maybe we can ask a question about dogs!
01:55Or baths!
01:56Oh!
01:57I want to start with a question!
01:58Oh, what is it, Elmo?
01:59Well, the question is, does everyone on Sesame Street take a bath?
02:04Great question!
02:05Thank you!
02:06What should a happy scientist do next, Gordon?
02:09Well, next you come up with a hypothesis.
02:13Hypopotamus?
02:13No, no, no, no, no.
02:15Hypothesis.
02:15It means a guess based on what you already know.
02:19Oh!
02:22Well, take a happy guess called a hypothesis.
02:25That is what you do when you're a happy scientist.
02:27We're happy, happy, happy, happy, happy, happy scientists.
02:30Okay, so what does Elmo know?
02:34Elmo and all his friends take baths, right?
02:37Right!
02:37And Gordon takes a bath, right?
02:40I do.
02:40Hmm, so Elmo guesses that everyone on Sesame Street does take a bath.
02:45Okay, then that is your hypothesis, Elmo.
02:48And that is my, uh, hypothesis.
02:53Hypothesis too.
02:54Everyone takes a bath.
02:56Okay, now what about you, Telly?
02:58I'm not so sure that everybody takes a bath, so I'll say no.
03:02I don't think everyone on Sesame Street takes a bath.
03:06Okay, so now you have to test your hypothesis and find the answer.
03:11But, but Gordon, how, how did a happy scientist do that?
03:15You investigate.
03:17And put everything you find out in a journal.
03:20Oh.
03:20Like this?
03:23Oh.
03:25We call some happy pictures.
03:27We'll make a happiness.
03:28We'll keep a happy journal.
03:29We're happy scientists.
03:31We're happy, happy, happy, happy, happy, happy scientists.
03:34Come on, happy scientists.
03:36Let's investigate and find out if everyone on Sesame Street takes a bath.
03:41Investigate!
03:42Investigate!
03:43Ha, ha, ha!
03:44Investigate!
03:45What?
03:45Ah!
03:46Ha, ha, ha!
03:47Well, those are some happy scientists.
03:52Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
03:54Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, oop, oop, oop, oop, oop, oop, oop, oop, oop, oop, oop, oop, oop, oop!
03:58Oh!
03:59Hi!
03:59Hi, Chris!
04:01Huh.
04:01What are you guys doing in my bathroom?
04:03We're watching you, Chris.
04:05Mm-hmm.
04:05Watching me?
04:06Mm-hmm.
04:07Why?
04:08Well, all in the name of science, Chris.
04:11Mm-hmm.
04:11Elmo, Kelly, and Rosita are scientists.
04:14Okay.
04:15Well, can you scientists hurry this up?
04:17I'm kind of in the middle of something.
04:18Hey, look.
04:19What?
04:19He is in the middle of something.
04:21Chris is in the middle of a bathtub.
04:24Yes!
04:24Yes!
04:24And he's got sudsy bubbles all over him.
04:27Mm-hmm.
04:28Mm-hmm.
04:28Wow!
04:29Scientist Elmo thinks that Chris takes a bath.
04:34Yes!
04:34Yes!
04:35Yes!
04:35That's right, guys.
04:36Yes.
04:36I take a bath.
04:37Now, can I please get some privacy?
04:39In a second, Chris.
04:40In a second.
04:41First, we have to draw a picture of you in the tub.
04:43A picture of me?
04:44Mm-hmm.
04:44Yes.
04:44Like this?
04:45Oh, yes.
04:46See?
04:46In the name of science, Chris.
04:48Yes, science.
04:49Oh, fine.
04:50But hurry it up before all my bubbles pop.
04:52Chris takes a bath.
04:53Now he's on our happiness.
04:55We're investigating it.
04:56We're the happy scientists.
04:58The happy, happy, happy, happy, happy scientists.
05:01Okay, okay, happy scientists.
05:03Let's go investigate some more.
05:06Investigation!
05:07Bye, Chris.
05:14I really got to put a lock on that bathroom door.
05:25Uh, what you staring at?
05:28Oh, oh, don't mind us, Kitty.
05:30We're scientists.
05:31Oh, oh, well, if you're scientists, I guess it's okay.
05:39Cubes!
05:40It's licking its foot!
05:42Oh, good investigating, Kenny!
05:44Thank you, but why is it licking its foot?
05:47That's just gross!
05:48Well, it looks like it's cleaning itself.
05:50No, with its tongue?
05:52No way!
05:53Well, yeah.
05:54Maybe this is the way that the cat takes a bath.
05:57Oh, no, no, no!
05:58It can't be!
05:59Uh, actually, the cute little red scientist is right.
06:03I am, in fact, taking a bath.
06:06With your tongue?
06:08Yep.
06:09It's how we cats keep cleaning.
06:11Now, can you stop watching me while I bathe?
06:13It's kind of freaking my kibbles out.
06:15Oh, uh, si, senor gato.
06:16As soon as we do this.
06:18We draw your picture, right, Kelly?
06:20Oh.
06:20Yep.
06:21I got it.
06:21I got it.
06:21And as soon as we do this, hit it!
06:24Cats take a tongue bath, we're out of to our list.
06:27We're finding out so many things.
06:28We're happy scientists.
06:30We're happy, happy, happy, happy, happy scientists.
06:33Now, come on, happy scientists.
06:35Let's keep investigating!
06:37Yep.
06:37Investigating!
06:40Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm trying to take my bath.
06:45You're sure that's a bath?
06:46Yes, I'm sure.
06:47All right, I'm watching you.
06:48Right.
06:49Phew.
06:51Look, happy scientists, a sparrow!
07:01Oh, look, that sparrow is flopping around in the dust!
07:05I wonder why you're doing that!
07:07All I know is that a bird who rolls in dust like that
07:11couldn't possibly be a bird who takes a bath!
07:15So my hypothesis is correct!
07:17Not everyone on Sesame Street takes a bath!
07:19Actually, I am taking a bath!
07:22No, you are not!
07:23There's no water!
07:25How can you be taking a bath without water?
07:27It's called a dust bath!
07:29A dust bath?
07:31You can't take a bath in dust!
07:34Well, if you're a sparrow, you can.
07:36The dust really helps keep my feathers and skin clean!
07:40Oh, you know what that means?
07:42Draw!
07:44And sing!
07:46Hit it!
07:47Spirrow, sleep, dust baths, be as bad as you are list!
07:50It pays to observe when you're a happy scientist!
07:53We're happy, happy, happy, happy, happy, happy scientists!
07:55All right, there's got to be something around here that doesn't take a bath!
07:59Aha!
08:00Come on over here, guys!
08:01I think I see just the thing!
08:05Yes!
08:06An owl!
08:07I thought owls only came out at night!
08:10What's he doing out in the day?
08:11Whatever it's doing, it's not taking a bath!
08:15Yes, I am!
08:16Oh, you've got to be kidding!
08:19Nope!
08:20I'm taking a sun bath!
08:21A sun bath?
08:23The sun can't give you a bath!
08:26If you're an owl, it can!
08:27The sun helps get rid of some germs that may be stuck in my feathers!
08:32That means...
08:33Draw!
08:34All right, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
08:37Sing!
08:38Hit it!
08:38Owls, big sun baths, we'll add it to our nest!
08:41We're happy, happy, happy, happy, happy, happy scientists!
08:44Happy!
08:44And look like Elmo and Regina's hypothesis is right!
08:47Everybody on Sesame Street takes a bath!
08:50I am not giving up yet!
08:52I just thought of someone who couldn't possibly take a bath!
08:56Ha ha!
08:57Ha ha ha!
08:59Oscar!
09:00Oscar!
09:02Why is...
09:02Why is...
09:03Why is the one just calling for Oscar?
09:06Because Oscar's a grouch, and he loves everything!
09:09Dirty, and dingy, and grungy, and there's no way that Oscar takes a bath!
09:14Oscar!
09:16Will you keep it quiet?
09:19I'm trying to take a bath!
09:22Grouches take baths?
09:24Yes!
09:25We take mud baths!
09:27Oh no!
09:30Oh yes!
09:31So leave me alone, so I can wallow in peace!
09:36Grouches take baths!
09:38Oh, let's try and sing!
09:40Hit it!
09:41Grouches take a mud bath!
09:42We're out of two orders!
09:43Stop!
09:44Stop!
09:44Stop the music!
09:46Oh, stop it!
09:47Does he tell me you want to sing the happy scientist song?
09:50No!
09:51Why not?
09:52Because I'm not happy!
09:55I'm not a happy scientist!
09:57I'm a mad scientist!
09:58Mad, I tell you!
10:00I'm a mad, mad, mad, unhappy scientist!
10:04Not happy!
10:05Tally!
10:05Tally!
10:05Tally!
10:06What?
10:06Tally, what are you so mad about?
10:08I couldn't find anyone on Sesame Street that didn't take a bath!
10:13I can't be a scientist, Gordon!
10:15Well, of course you can, Tally!
10:16But my hypothesis was all wrong!
10:19But, but, Tally, it's okay to be wrong in science!
10:22It is?
10:23Yeah, you see, the important thing in science is the process!
10:27Huh?
10:28Yeah, process!
10:29It's all the steps that you take to find an answer!
10:32Like asking questions?
10:34And investigating?
10:35And writing down when we find in the journal?
10:37Right!
10:38All of those things are part of the scientific process!
10:41Well, we did all that stuff!
10:42Oh, okay, and what did you find out?
10:45Well, here, I wrote it down in my journal, I drew pictures, and...
10:49We found out that Chris takes a bath!
10:52Okay!
10:54And we found out that cats take a tongue bath!
10:58Wow!
10:59And we found out that little sparrows take a dust bath!
11:03All right!
11:05And, uh, and owls take sun baths!
11:09And we even found out that grouches take mud baths!
11:14Wow!
11:15Those are some really interesting things you guys learned!
11:18Really?
11:18Absolutely!
11:20Through investigating, you guys found out things I didn't even know!
11:23We did?
11:24Yes!
11:26And now that you've learned all this great stuff, what do you think the answer to the question
11:30is?
11:30Does everybody on Sesame Street take a bath?
11:32Uh, I think the answer is, is yes!
11:35Everyone on Sesame Street does take a bath!
11:38Just, just, not all in the same way!
11:40Great job!
11:41You guys did it!
11:43We did it!
11:43We did it!
11:44We did it!
11:45We did it!
11:45We did it!
11:45We did it!
11:45We did it!
11:46We did it!
11:46We did it!
11:47We did it!
11:48But not just any scientists!
11:50We're happy scientists!
11:52Yay!
11:53We did it!
11:55We're the happy, happy, happy, happy, happy, happy scientists!
11:58I love science!
