Hey, Wowzer fans! Mindy and Guy Raz here, and before we start the show, we were just talking about places on our planet that make us say wow.
Tell them about our favorite place, Guy Raz.
Sure, Mindy. Well, a place on our planet that wows me is Sonoma Coast State Park.
It's in California, but when you visit there, some days it looks like you're in tropical Hawaii.
Other days it looks like you're on the cliffs of Ireland.
I can't wait to visit there, Guy Raz.
What about you, Mindy?
Well, a place on our planet that wows me is the Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge in Florida.
It's the only wildlife refuge in the world dedicated to protecting the West Indian vanity.
And when you visit, you can actually see these gentle giants up close, if you mind your manatee manners.
That sounds amazing, Mindy.

Okay, Wowzers, time is up It's time to reveal the winning Wow But before we do, let's do a quick review We gave you three scientific statements about jellyfish And challenged you to guess which one was the one true Wow Was it A.
Jellyfish have three hearts Or was it B.
Jellyfish have been to the moon.
Or was it C. There were jellyfish on Earth before there were dinosaurs.
And to answer today's quiz, joining us by phone, it's Albert from Raleigh, North Carolina.
Albert, what's the wow?
My wow in the world is that jellyfish lived before the dinosaurs.
winner winner jelly beans for dinner albert that is correct contestants if you guessed the answer see that jellyfish were alive on earth before dinosaurs were you found the winning wow congratulations wowsers jellyfish are some of the oldest creatures on earth scientists found We found fossils that show that jellyfish have been around for over 500 million years.
Now, if you guessed A or B, you weren't too far off.
Jellyfish actually don't have any hearts, but octopuses have three.
And if you chose B, jellyfish might not have landed on the moon, but they have been to space.
in 1991, NASA launched a space shuttle with 2 ,478 jellyfish babies, also known as polyps.
By the end of the mission, there were over 60 ,000 jellyfish orbiting the Earth.
Ooh. Now, Guy Raz, why don't you tell our winning wowsers what they won?
Well, Mindy, all of our winning contestants today will be taking home their very own invisible boat full of holes?
That's right. Take this boat out for a thrilling but very brief adventure.
And don't forget to bring a life jacket.
You're going to need it.
Mindy, that's a terrible prize.
More like terribly exciting.
Exciting! Well, congratulations to all of the winning Wowzers!
That's just about all the time we have for today.
But before we go, we have a little scientific challenge for you.
We call it boy -o -buoyancy!
Have you ever wondered why it's easier to float in the ocean than in a lake?
The salt in the ocean makes things more buoyant or floatable.
So things will float better in salt water than they will in fresh water.
We challenge you to fill two glasses with the same amount of water.
But mix salt into one of those glasses.
Keep adding salt until no more salt can dissolve.
Then drop a grape into both glasses.
See which one floats and why.
And one more thing.
Don't drink the salt water.
Trust me. And don't forget to take a photo or video either.
Grownups, you can upload pictures and videos to us at Tinkercast .com slash share.
Well, that's all the time we have for today.
Until next time, keep on wowing!
