Hey, Wowzer fans, Mindy here.
And before we start the show, I gotta let you know that this November, with a special new episode featuring our friends at Circle Round and Terrestrials on Radiolab for Kids,
And don't miss when Elmo from Sesame Street stops by Wow in the World to make us all belly laugh on November 24th.
Oh, but that's not all, Reg.
On December 1st, we are sharing our 250th episode of Wow in the World with all of you.
We think this one is going to be music to your ears.
Literally.
Did I mention it's a musical?
And if you're a member of the World Organization of Wowzers...

It's going to be a November to remember.
But for now, let's get on with the show.
Woo! out your pencils and a fresh sheet of parchment for Tinker Class is about to begin.
Welcome back to Tinker Class, our hands-on crash course in Science Fun 101 for the science seekers and inventoritos of tomorrow.
It's day three of week two.
So if you're just joining us for the first time, hit pause and go back and listen to the first two episodes of This Week.
Don't worry.
We'll still be here when you get back.
This week we're using inspiration from our wow in the world episode rat race.
On day one, we had you listen to this episode while jotting down any thoughts or ideas and questions that came to mind.
Yesterday, we had you explore materials that could work together to create a car for your stuffed animal.
And now, For day three, we're ready to begin creating and testing our next two steps in the tinkering process.
Using your design plan sketch from yesterday, it's time to bring your idea to life.
As you build your car according to your plan, make sure that the wheels move easily and that your car is big enough to fit your driver.
You'll also want to make sure that your car has cup holders and backup cams.
Once your car is built, you'll be ready to test.
For this, you'll want to set up a test track to run some trials to measure your car's speed.
Be sure to set a starting line and a finish line and use the exact same track for all test trials.
When you're setting up your track, remember that it can be straight or curvy, or as long as you want to make it.
Be sure to apply the same force to your vehicle every time you push.
Scientists run their test trials over and over and over again to make sure that their results are reliable.
And, once you're all set, grab a stopwatch or a clock to time how long it takes for your vehicle to move from the starting line to the finish line.
And make sure to conduct at least three And grown-ups.

Now go forth and keep on wowing.
