[THEME SONG BEGINS]
>> RACHEL: Good morning, it’s time for Chompers, your twice daily toothbrushing show.
Start brushing on the top of your mouth. Pick a side, and don’t brush too hard.
>> KIDS: 3, 2, 1 BRUSH!
[THEME SONG ENDS]
>> RACHEL: It’s Science Week, and today our hypothesis is that you will laugh at our jokes! To test that hypothesis, we have your first joke:
What kind of underwear does lightning use?
>> KID: WHAT KIND?
>> RACHEL: Thunderpants!
[THUNDER CLAP]
>> RACHEL: Meteorologists are people who use science to figure out when there's gonna be thunder and rain- and when it'll be sunny.
Switch to the other side of the top of your mouth…
[SWITCH BELL]
>> RACHEL: -and brush your molars in the way back too.
You might have seen a meteorologist telling you the weather on the nightly news, but meteorologists do a lot more than just predict rain or sun.
Sometimes, meteorologists can save lives. By using tools like thermometers, telescopes, and satellites, meteorologists help warn people if big storms are coming. So people can be prepared and stay safe.
[RAIN SOUNDS]
>> RACHEL: Switch your brushing to the bottom of your mouth…
[SWITCH BELL]
>> RACHEL: -and don't forget those front teeth.
Here’s your next joke:
Why do astrophysicists get invited to all the best Hollywood parties?
>> KID: WHY?
>> RACHEL: Because they know all the stars.
[RIMSHOT/LAUGH]
>> RACHEL: Astrophysics is the science of how stars and other objects in space move around. Remember, PHYSICS is the study of how things move. And ASTRO means stars. So ASTRO-PHYSICS is studying how STARS move.
Switch to the other side of the bottom of your mouth…
[SWITCH BELL]
>> RACHEL: and give your tongue a brush too.
Ok one last joke
What’s a scientists favorite kind of dog?
>> KID: WHAT KIND?
A lab-rador
[RIMSHOT/BARK BARK]
