Science Experiments for kids Lego with Dr. Shnitzel's Wacky Science

Heat. Heat. [Music] Welcome, welcome to the Dr. Schnitzel lab. Look at our amazing helpers. Looks like they're playing with different toys. They're building different structures. Wow. But wait a second. Hold on a second. Where's my hair? My here and there. Where is my Oh, here it is. Put in the Who? Put it in the magnet tiles. Okay, here we got it. Okay, we got to put on her here. Yes, yes, yes. Wow, look what you're making. What is this? Is this a show? What is this supposed to be? >> A house. >> A house. And what is this supposed to be? >> Another house. >> Another house. But there's one toy that we're missing. Who can guess what toy we're missing? Yes, >> Lego. >> Lego. Who likes Lego? >> Me. >> I love Lego. In fact, Lego is one of the toys Dr. since I played with when I was a little little boy. >> Simon and Simmyi, you know that Lego was made in 1958. Do you know how many years ago that is? >> Yeah, >> that is 67 years old. And throughout all the years, Lego has always remained the best toy that children all over the world like to play with. Look what I have over here. Here I have a brand new Lego set. Let's see what's inside. I just bought it. Oh, look at this. And it comes with with instructions. Ooh, the greens, the yellows, and the blacks. And oh, look at that. Very, very nice. And it has It's even built in the shape of a brick. Look, this is the shape of a brick. See, there's there's bumps on the top. It says Lego. And on the bottom, look at that. See that? So, >> there's a lot of them. It could actually make a tower. >> Yeah, I guess if you go like this, watch. Sits perfectly inside. Look at that. I was told that Legos that was made many, many years ago are still able to click with the Legos that are made today. So, here we have a brand new set. And here we have an old set. I bought this from a old old lady. Her kids used to play with this many many like 50 years ago. Look at this. I'm wondering, do you think the old sets could go with the new sets? This one over here. Let's see if if the old one Oh, look what we have over here. H, look at that. That's unbelievable. So, even if you have an old set and a brand new set, you can play with them together. The way Legos are made is very, very interesting. You see Lego bricks like we have over here. They have bumps on the top and on the bottom they have these holes. And the way it works is the Lego bumps on the top. They click very nicely and firmly inside. You see that? And this allows that you can build up very very high. For example, look at this tower that Dr. Schnitle made. You see over here it has bumps on the top and indents on the bottom. And should we try to turn it upside down and see if it stays? Look, we put it sideways and it stays. And we even put it upside down and it doesn't fall apart. Isn't that amazing? >> Yeah. >> Can you do this with other kind of blocks? >> No. >> You cannot do this with other kind of blocks. Only with Legos. >> No, that's the that's the bed. >> All right. Pick it up. Pick it up. >> Can anyone guess how we make the bumps and the indents on the bottom of a Lego >> mold? That's right. Let me show you how molds work. Here we have a silicone mold. Here we have a big Lego and a little one and a thin long one. Right. And look what's on the other side. You can pour stuff inside. So look what do it's the lid. I poured jello inside. Who likes jello? Amazing. And this is the way the Lego company makes the Legos. They pour the special plastic in molds just like this. And when it comes out, we have amazing pieces of Lego. Who would like to eat some jello? >> Oh, look at that. Oh, we have here a Lego piece. You think we could pile it on top of each other? Let's see. Let's put this over here. And then let's put this one over here. And this one on top. And this one over here. Hey, what's going on over here? Don't fall down. Okay, we have over here a plate. A Lego plate. This is for you and for you. And for you and for you. Here. Put that on top. And what color do you like here? This is going to be for you. You're going to get orange. And you're going to get blue. Look at that. And you're going to get green. And you're going to get brown. And you're going to get yellow. And does everybody have it? Okay. What brown do we make? Let's do it together. [Music] There's no sugar in it. >> Horrible. >> E. >> All right. That one. >> Here I am in Dr. Strauss's house. He's an amazing doctor, a chiropractor who lives in our community. I was coming to visit him and I saw he had a whole bunch of Lego sets. I was wondering cuz his kids are a little older. I'm like, who is building these Lego sets? So, Dr. Strauss, thank you for inviting us to your home. >> You're very welcome. Thanks for coming. >> Of course. Please tell us where are these Lego sets from. Did you buy them or are these your kids Lego sets? >> Dr. Schnitzel, I am an adult fan of Lego. There's a whole group of us and the Lego company makes special Legos for adults. Legos for adults. When I was growing up, we play with Legos. I always knew that Lego is for kids, not for adults, not for fathers and mothers. >> I also played with Legos when I was a kid. And one day I was in a Lego store with my children and I saw they had a whole section and it said on the box 18 and older very complicated Legos. So I thought I'm going to do it. And I got so involved I started building Lego after Lego. Here's the BA Mikdash. >> Where did you get that from? >> I made it. >> You made this yourself? Wow. This is really really nice. >> Little bits and pieces. Look, you can see the Ezra Nashim and the Sanhedrin and the Kadesh Kadoshim. Everything is there. >> That's unbelievable. >> It's an educational thing. It helps you to understand how is the the structure of the Basa Mikdash. >> That's unbelievable. I think I need to build the BA mikdash. The truth is every time we do a mitzvah, we build another brick in the third bas. >> There it is. >> It's coming down from Shmayam. >> Look at that. We have the third base amikdash. That's unbelievable. Wow. So, show us what else you have over here. >> Well, look at this. This is a galloping horse. You turn the crank. You see there's a crank over here. >> Yes. >> You turn the crank and the horse gallops and his tail goes up and down. >> So, where can someone buy this from? >> Oh, you can't buy that. >> It can go backwards and forwards. What do you mean you can't buy that? >> That's not a kit. Somebody came up with this design and then you have to go out and you got to buy all the little pieces and then you got to put it together. It has Lego, it has Technica as part of it and it's quite a complicated build. >> Yes, technicas are the pieces with the uh >> with the holes over there, right? >> Earring and everything. >> This is unbelievable. Maybe this is the horses that Morai was led through by Hammon in the story of Purim in Shushon. >> I never thought about that. >> Yes, we're just missing Morai over here. What's this? >> This is a hummingbird hovering over a flower and it's getting nectar out of the flower with his beak. >> That's beautiful. Wow. >> That one. That's really pretty. This one I find so interesting. This is called its integrity sculpture. And you see it's just three chains and you put the thing in the right spot. Let's see if I can get it to balance. Yep. There it goes. >> Wow. That's unbelievable. >> Looks floating, doesn't it? >> Yeah, it looks like it's floating. And this over here is What's this? This is what you call a typewriter. >> I bet you the kids maybe never even heard of a typewriter. Have you heard of a typewriter? >> This is before there was computers. >> That's right. They used to put a paper inside, put some ink over here, and type each one, and that's how you write a letter. Yeah. >> When I was growing up, my mother was a secretary. She used to type like that >> before they had computers. Right. >> This is made out of Lego. You built this yourself? >> I did. >> This is unbelievable. The the letter is in Hebrew. >> In Hebrew. Wow. This is so cool. Can I look underneath? >> Sure. >> Look at that. This whole thing is made out of Lego. It's unbelievable. And what else do we have? Oh, look over here. I see you have some beautiful flowers. >> Yep. Those are >> very daffodils. Very nice. >> I bet you know what this is. >> That looks like a chess set. Yeah. >> You like to play chess? >> I do. You want to play? >> I don't want to lose. >> Oh, well, there's not much risk of that. I think you'll probably win. >> Truth is, it's okay. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. This is really, really cool. Wow. The king and the queen all made out of chess. >> And look at the piano. >> Wow. >> Isn't that beautiful? >> Lego. >> Yeah. >> It looks so real. Is it real? >> It can play, but it plays electronically. And I don't think there's any batteries in there right now. >> Wow. What's this? >> That's the chair that the pianist sits on. >> H. >> And you can make it higher or lower just like a real one. >> Oh, look at that. What's underneath there? >> It's called a grand piano. >> Grand piano. This is unbelievable. Dr. Strauss, I want to thank you for inviting me to your house to see your amazing Lego set. There are two kinds of Lego bricks. We have the regular bricks that have the bumps on the top and the indents on the bottom. These bricks over here are called the Technic bricks. These bricks over here are made out of the same materials that the regular Lego bricks are made out of. However, they have holes inside of them and you can click stuff inside. Let's click this over here. Watch. And oh, you see that? Now you can make things turn back and forth. You see that? Because with this brick over here, once you lock it in place, you can't turn it unless you put it on the last one. Then you could turn it just a little bit. See? Just a little bit. But once you put it like this, can't turn it, right? So here with this one over here, you can turn it all different ways. And here we have, look at that. You see all these different kind of technic bricks that allows us to make different amazing Lego structures. For example, look at this crane we have over here. Isn't this amazing? >> Yeah. This was made out of Technic bricks. It took us a whole week to make this amazing crane. Look, it's taller than Dr. Schnitzel. Do you think it really works? >> Yeah. >> Well, let's first take a look at it. The first thing we did was we built the bottom. We have over here the tracks as you can see. And then we built the big base. Here's where the man is supposed to be, the Lego man inside over here. Right here is the counterwe. This is very heavy. So it make sure that it doesn't topple over. And all these over here are made. Look out of little bricks. Technic bricks. One, two, three. And they were clicked together. Oo. That makes it go up. Oo. And that's making it go down. Look at it's getting lower and lower. Wow. You see? Because what happens is this over here is held up with this string. And when the string turns, right, it pulls it back up or it makes it go down. Now, should we lower this? Let's see if we can lower this. Oh, wrong way. Go back down. Look at that. Oh, how low do you think it could go? >> Do you think it go all the way to these technic bricks? Yeah. Let's see. It's going. It's going. It's going. Now, let's see if we can connect something to it. What should we can we connect to it? Okay. Let's connect this to this and pretend like we're building a big skyscraper in Manhattan. And this is a big big piece of metal and we have to lift it high up. So, let's see. And it's going high high up up. Look at that. The whole thing can turn. Isn't that amazing? Look at that. The whole thing turns. Now it goes back down. What we're going to do is you two are going to build a little house and you're going to build a little house. You're going to have exactly 1 minute and then we're going to bring the crane all the way down and we're going to see if it can lift your houses. Are you excited? >> Yeah. >> Okay. And start right now. [Music] 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 and one. Oh, look at this house. This is such a cute house. Let's see. We're going to connect it by the chimney. Should we connect it by the chimney? >> Yeah. >> Oh. Oh. Let's see. And let's see if we can pick it up. Oh, >> look at that. It's going. And let's try yours. Let's bring it over. Should we connect this to this? Let's see how strong it is. Let's do it on the other side. >> No, no, no. Look at that. It's able to pick up both houses. Give yourself a big big round of applause. Amazing. It's going higher and higher. I guess this crane is really, really strong and it has a good counterbalance in the back holding it down so it doesn't go flying this way. Amazing. Fun fact, can any of you guess what company in the entire world makes the most tires? You see, we use tires for our >> cars. >> Cars and for tractors and trucks, right? Tires makes the world go round and around. Who knows the song? The wheels on the bus go >> round and >> round and round, round and round. The wheels everybody go. Yes. The wheels on the bus go round and round all through the town. The kids on the bus go w. So, the company that makes the most tires in the world is Lego. That is correct, Lego. Most people would never guess that, but the only thing is their tires are not big. They don't make the most rubber in the world for tires. They make the most tires. And look what we have over here. That's right. This is a Lego tire. It's a big Lego tire. And look at this over here. where we have all sorts of Lego tires from different sets. So, let's have a competition. Who can build the fastest car? I'm going to give you guys you're going to be called team babushka. And in fact, guess what? You know what you're going to have? You're going to have on top of your head a babushka hat just like this. Beautiful. And this is Does anybody know what this is? Come stand over here. Come around. This over here is called >> toilet paper. toilet paper. Yes. Yes. Yes. Good. And you guys are going to be team >> pajama hat. >> Pajama hat. Here's Dr. Schnitle's pajama hat. Good job. Just like that. And you're going to get this over here like this. Okay. Good job, Shim. Your new name is not Shim. Your new name is Pajama Hat. Okay. Hey, stay on top of your head. You chicken soup. You wait. What about you, Yassi? You're going to be the judge and you are going to have a pot hat. So, you're going to be called Mr. pot. Give them a big round of applause. You guys are going to get this set. You're going to get this set. It's a brand new set. And look what it has here. It shows that it has wheels inside. If you don't like the wheels in here, you can use any wheels from this over here. You're going to have exactly 5 minutes to build the nicest, most beautiful, fastest Lego car. Are you ready? >> Yeah. Yeah. One, two, three, go. >> Hold on to this. >> Yes. Yes. Yes. Open it up. Hold on to this. [Music] car. Who's building that car? Who do you think is winning? Yassi, who's winning? Judge Ysi. Who's winning? It looks like they're winning. Okay. Okay, let's go. Keep on going. Keep on going. Who's going to make the nicest car? Remember, the car has to go fast, but it can't be too fast. It might topple over. [Music] And here we are at our grand competition. We have our judge, Judge Yashi, with the pot on top of his head. Give him a big round of applause. He is standing at the finish line. And here we have team babushka. Make some noise for team babushka. And over here we have team pajama hat. Make some noise for team pajama hat. And judge yasi, you're going to tell us who did the best job having a card that looks the best as well as goes the furthest. So, let's take a look at team pajama hat. Oh, look at this. Yassi, what do you think? Looks good. Two two wheels in the front, two wheels in the back, and team babushka. Let's take a look at their car. Oh, look at that. This is very interesting. I see a lot of green. And there's two googly eyes. One, two, three, go. >> Go, go, go. Okay, you went there. Okay, let go. Oh. So, judge pot hat. Which one do you say? >> This one over here. Yes. And we have team pajama hat is the winner. I was thinking I have over here all the tires. Should we take the tires, put them over here, and see how far they can go? >> Yeah. >> Yes. Yes. Yes. If it goes this way, it's not going to go. Well, let's see in the big one there. Yeah, let go of the big one there. Oh, good job. Ready, set, ready, go. >> Ready, set, ready, go. >> And let's pour it and see what happens. >> Did you know that there's a competition all around the world for who can take pennies and stack them on top of a little Lego head? So here we have a Lego head. See? Oh, this is a nice little Lego head. And you could take this over here. A whole stack. This is 50 petties. Who can guess how much money that is? >> 50 cents. >> 50 cents. Good. So you can try to balance it. As you can see, we try to do this in the video of centrial force. Look at that. You see here? Here we have 50 pennies. The person who won the competition, they were able to stack 74 pennies on top of each other. but not in a little roll. So, when I say go, you guys are going to open it up and you're going to start to stack them up. And if they fall down, what do you do? >> Start again. >> Got to start again. What's the trick? The trick is do it very slow. Now, don't shake the table. Back up, everybody. Back up a little bit. Good. And one 2 3 go. Let's see who can stack the pennies. Make sure they're exactly in the middle. Yes. Yes. Yes. Let's see. I wonder if you can try to do this in your house. Do you have Lego? Do you have pennies? Or maybe if you don't live in America, you could do it with shackels or any other kind of coin and see how many coins you can stack up on top of the little Lego head. Let's go. Let's go. Ooh, look at that. Pretty amazing. How many you got there? Make sure it's balanced. >> It looks like it's leaning a little bit that side. If it's leaning to one side, you have to have it exactly in the center. Otherwise, gravity is going to pull it to one side. >> Oh, look at this. This is not a penny. This is a scent from Canada. Anybody here from Canada? Look at that. That's a Canadian coin. 1 cent. Oh, be careful there. Be careful. Oo, this is tricky. Might all fall. And then all our hard work went for nothing. Don't look at anybody else. Focus on your own pile. Look what I'm doing here. I'm doing a whole bunch at a time. >> Not going to work. >> Is it going to work? >> Look at them. >> Let's continue. Let's see if I can do this. Okay, look what I have here. I have almost 50 pennies. I'm going to try to do it. Hey, don't shake it. [Music] Come on. Come on. It's going to go. It's going to go. Yeah. Yeah. Who knows what special mitzvah we could do with pennies? Can anyone guess? >> Tedaka. >> Who gives sadaka every single day before divining? >> Me. >> Amazing. Always give a lot of tedaka. Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] [Applause] [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music]
