Ada Twist, scientist
She's gonna find out what the answer is
Under here, over there
Science is everywhere you look
With Iggy Peck, architect
And Rosie Revere, engineer
So much to do
And you can help too
A mystery, a riddle, a puzzle, or a quest
There are wonders to discover And hypotheses to test
Science is the best
Ada Twist, scientist
She's gonna find out what thе answer is
Everywherе science is
She's forming a hypothesis Connecting polka dots
'Cause this is scientist Ada Twist!
"DadBot."
What's going on? What's that noise? Find my magic coin?
Nope. Not yet.
Just an alarm clock the magnet picked up.
It also attracted a fork, a disco ball,
and a magic shield.
Oh, never mind. It's just a plate.
Oh man. What if it's lost forever?
Don't worry, Arthur. Ada's new electromagnet is super powerful.
Yep. In an electromagnet,
a wire coil wrapped around a metal creates a super strong magnetic field.
Ta-da!
Wow, thanks.
I guess having a sister who's into science stuff comes in handy sometimes.
Here Iggy, give it a try.
Oh gosh. It's heavy.
Okay, let's see what this electromagnet attra--
Iggy. Turn off the magnet.
-Iggy, are you alright? -I'm good.
Whoa! What is that?
It's a special project my mom started a long time ago.
Wonder why she hasn't finished it.
Nope, I'm busy that day and that day and that day.
Your mom is really busy.
Or she's an alien. I've read that's how they do laundry.
-Mom? -Huh?
I don't think that's where the laundry goes.
Oops. Where's my head?
Mom, I'm going to ask you a question and I need you to be honest.
Are you an alien, or are you just busy?
An alien? I wish. Maybe then I'd have extra hands to help.
Not all aliens have lots of hands, Mrs. T. Only some.
Good to know.
With Dad traveling to fantasy book conferences for work,
I've been doing double duty. My brain's overwhelmed.
Whoops. The soup!
That's why Mom hasn't finished her project.
She's too busy.
Maybe there's a way to help her so she can work on it.
So how are we gonna help your mom?
We need to get busy with a brainstorm.
Brainstorm, brainstorm
Throw in every thought you've had No idea is ever bad
Brainstorm, brainstorm
Gather up your friends and try To find the how, the what, the why
Brainstorm, brainstorm
Let our imaginations
Become great new creations when we
Brainstorm, brainstorm
Brainstorm, brainstorm, hey!
I've got it. Leprechauns. They're great at cleaning messes.
Oops, I got it backwards. They're great at making messes.
We definitely don't want more mess.
What if we clone your dad?
Then he could work at his conferences and help around the house.
Oh boy. Then I wouldn't be able to tell which one is my real dad.
But that gives me another idea.
Thanks honey.
Wait. Honey?
Oh good, you've met DadBot.
-Dad what? -DadBot.
I made a robot to help you while Dad's away
so you can finish your project.
Wow, you built a whole robot for me? That is so sweet of you, baby.
I don't want your brain to be so overwhelmed
that you put laundry in the oven like an alien.
Me neither.
Sometimes, I need to admit I can't do everything,
definitely not all at the same time.
Breakfast for my honey.
Thank you, BabeBot?
You go work on your project. DadBot has everything handled in here.
Okay.
Whoa. How's he doing so many things at the same time?
I programmed him to do a lot so my mom doesn't have to.
I even taught him to make Dad's red velvet waffles,
'cause I was hungry.
I love that you can teach robots to do so much stuff. Bots are the best.
Yep, DadBot has artificial intelligence.
That's how machines think and learn.
We've gotta shut it down.
If it can learn how to make your dad's waffles,
it can take over the world.
Waffles?
-Yummy. Thanks, DB. -Thanks, DadBot.
Don't worry Iggy. DadBot's harmless.
Whoa! It cooks?
Its name is DadBot.
And, yep, I programmed him to cook. Cool, right?
Yeah. Can you teach it to do other stuff, like serve tennis balls?
I should be able to do that.
Shiny red button. I have to press it.
No! That's the reset button.
If you press it, it'll erase everything I've taught him.
Why do they make the red buttons
the most press-able when you're not supposed to press them?
Serve.
Forehand.
It worked.
Go DB!
That was incredible.
Let's teach it more stuff, like how to breakdance.
I can program him to do that.
Oh yeah.
-Go DadBot! -Yeah!
DadBot? More like DanceBot. What should we teach him next?
-To tell knock-knock jokes. -And clean Mooshu's litter box.
-Protect us from intruders? -Do backflips.
-Bake cupcakes. -Play tag.
-Not take over the world. -Speak unicorn.
Okay, I think that's enough. My fingers need a break.
Let's meet the new and improved DadBot.
Hey DB 2.0,
can you tell us a knock-knock joke, please?
Knock-knock.
Who's there?
Red leather yellow tuna sandstorm.
-Not funny. -Huh?
Pup-Puppy purr-jamas cha slide.
Must furry four legs tag.
Oh no.
Tag.
It's happening.
He's taking over!
No, I think his system's just overwhelmed.
Like your mom's brain when she was trying to do too much.
We gotta stop DadBot before he gets out of control.
Knock-knock kitty lit.
Okay, DadBot is officially out of control. What do we do?
There's only one thing to do, move to Mars! Earth is doomed.
Pup-Puppy purr-jamas.
We can't move to Mars.
She's right. Our rocket ship is years away from being done.
Get Mom. She can fix this.
We can't. I invented him to make Mom's life easier, not harder.
We've gotta fix this alone.
Where'd it go?
Intruder, truder, intruder.
I know what to do.
We have to reset DadBot as soon as we catch him.
Intruder.
There he goes.
Cup-cup-cupcake.
We're never gonna get close enough to DadBot to reset him.
Why'd I have to make him so fast?
Code Mom!
Oh no. It's so messy.
I wanted to make things better for Mom, but I made everything worse.
Want me to distract her? Magicians are great at it.
No, Mom was right.
Sometimes you gotta admit you can't do everything at once.
We need her help.
What happened in here?
I wanted to help you,
but I programmed DadBot to do too many things,
and now he's out of control. I'm sorry.
Oh, it's okay baby. Your heart was in the right place.
We all try to do too much sometimes. I'd know.
-Whoa! -Excuse you.
-Intruder! -We have to reset DadBot,
but he's too fast.
Can we bring him to us?
Yes we can.
Mom, you're a genius.
Since DadBot is mostly made of metal,
this powerful electromagnet can pull him to us.
Intruder.
Everyone hide!
Oh no.
Now Ada!
No!
Sorry DadBot,
turns out trying to do too many things at the same time isn't a good idea.
Wanna do the honors, Rosie?
Yeah.
Good ni--
-Yes! Nice work. -We did it.
Now we gotta clean up this mess.
I made the bot that made the mess, I'll clean it up.
Keep working on your project.
Yeah, we got this.
-I'll help too. -Same.
You do so much around here. Lil' A and I can help out more.
You kids are the best.
It is I, Father and Dance Master of House Twist.
I have returned.
Huh? Did I enter another realm?
Hi Dad. You're back.
Hey.
You guys are cleaning?
We're helping out more so Mom's system isn't overwhelmed like DadBot's.
System? DadBot?
DadBot.
Sweep.
I made him to help Mom, and I programmed him to do one thing.
Huh. Well, I gotta hand it to the guy, he's got great style.
I finished my project. Come see.
-Wow! -So cool.
Great job honey. Sweet wheels.
I wanted to make something we could have fun with together.
-Hop on. -Let's boogie.
"Into the Brainstorm."
This is scientifically the best beanbag layout.
And my snack station's ready.
You settled in and ready to start your movie?
Definitely.
We are so ready for monsters that go "blergh!"
Maybe I'm not ready.
Okay, enjoy your monsters.
Holler if you need me.
-I'll be in my office. -Thanks.
Are you sure we can't watch Snuggle Warriors Three again?
The monsters aren't real. They're just people in scary makeup.
Oh really? That makes me feel a little better.
But they're still kinda scary.
Scary for kids, maybe.
But not for me.
Watch the movie with us.
No thanks. Just getting snacks for Lil' Liz and me.
Popcorn or cheese puffs?
Cheese puffs? That's what I was gonna say.
We're always on the same page.
Gonna go play in our storm fort. Check it out if you wanna.
Storm fort?
Uh-huh.
Emergency weather alert. A big thunderstorm is headed this way.
Stay inside where it's safe.
See ya.
Thunderstorm? Yes!
I love the squiggly shapes the lightning makes.
And the sounds.
Bet your mom's told you cool stories about flying in thunderstorms Rosie. Huh?
Rosie? What's wrong?
Nothing.
Yay.
Go, thunderst--
Oh boy! That is loud.
Sorry Mooshu.
Rosie, are you scared of thunderstorms?
Scared? Me? That's silly.
Ridiculous--
Okay, I am.
Thunder and lightning are scary.
It's okay to be scared.
I'm scared of monsters and ghosts.
And birds, clowns, most small animals.
But I come from a family of brave pilots
who aren't scared of thunderstorms.
Just 'cause you're scared doesn't mean you're not brave.
Well I don't feel brave.
Maybe we can help you not be scared with a different type of storm,
a brainstorm.
Well, I'm definitely not scared of that.
What if we had something that would make us not see it?
Like storm shades.
I wouldn't see the lightning, which would be cool.
Whoa.
But I'd still be able to hear the thunder.
Yep, I see your point.
The storm's closer.
We could build a house inside this house, and then another one inside that.
You wouldn't hear the thunder.
And I'd be super safe.
The walls would be thick, but we'd bump into each other.
These cheese puffs are the business.
We can make a storm fort like Arthur's, but really secure.
A storm fortress! Let's build it.
Huh?
Maybe we should check out Arthur's fort for ideas.
Welcome to Fort No Fear Revere.
-Nice. -I love it.
Come on, Mooshu.
We can't see the storm,
and you won't be able to hear it over this.
Oh no.
Okay, so maybe you can still hear it a little bit.
Any more ideas?
We always have more ideas. We'll figure this out.
I should take the whole bowl. Thanks for the snacks.
Hey, remember when I was scared of Lil' Liz?
Yeah.
I learned more about lizards, then I wasn't scared of her.
I was scared of monsters that go--
But after you told me they're people in makeup, I wasn't scared.
Yeah.
Well, as scared.
It's normal to be scared of things we don't understand.
Do I feel a "hypo-sesame" coming on?
A "hypothesis?" Yep.
I've got a hypothesis
-Does that -Observation
-Mean this -Explanation?
Right or wrong Let's find out what the answer is
It might not be right But we're gonna find out
What this theory is all about
-An educated guess -But will it stand up to our test?
Yes, that's what a hypothesis is
I've got a hypothesis I've got a hypothesis
Let's find out how right it is
Let's go!
So here's our hypothesis.
If Rosie learns more about thunderstorms, then she won't be afraid of them.
But I already know what they are. Dragons.
But you love dragons.
Not grumpy ones.
Thunder's the sound of grumpy dragons crashing through the clouds.
Hey, I'm flying here.
And lightning is caused by their grumpy, fiery breath.
This is a one-way cloud, buddy.
Those dragons do sound grumpy.
I've read about storms.
I don't remember anything about dragons.
We need to investigate a thunderstorm.
What? No.
In a safe place. Trust me.
-We'll be with you. -Okay.
Loading the lab.
Okay, activating thunderstorm mode.
That's actually kinda cute.
-It's okay. -You're safe here.
Okay.
According to my notes,
thunderstorms are caused by moisture, unstable air, and lift.
I know lift. That's air that moves under an object.
Yep. But to really understand lightning and thunder,
let's go into a thunderstorm.
I have a better idea, how about we don't?
You can do it, Rosie. You do all kinds of scary things.
Climb stuff, race derby cars, do tricks on skateboards.
You've got this.
Okay, I can do it.
I don't know if I can do this.
-Me either. -You can both do it.
Just stay calm and keep your eye on the sky.
Calm.
Okay.
Oh no! The grumpy dragons.
I think that's ice chunks rubbing against each other
inside the storm clouds.
Is that why it's so cold up here?
Yep. And the rubbing creates electric charges,
which are so intense for the clouds, they try to escape,
which creates…
Lightning.
Exactly.
Cool.
Also scary.
But mostly cool.
Rosie, you're sweating.
Don't be nervous. You're doing great.
No, it's not that.
I mean, yeah I'm nervous.
But also, it just got really hot.
When lightning strikes, the air gets really hot.
That creates a shock wave we hear as…
Thunder!
Okay, now that I know thunderstorms aren't made by grumpy dragons,
they're not as scary.
But I'm still a little scared.
I just wanna be brave Rosie again.
Ada, is there anything in your book about storms sounding like cats?
Nope, nothing.
That sounds like
Mooshu!
-How'd she get out there? -Why did she go out there?
She must've run out to get Mr. Cuddles.
-Someone's gotta go let her in. -Whoa!
Remember Rosie, there are no grumpy dragons up there.
You're right. I'll save Mooshu.
She took care of me when I needed her,
and now she needs me.
Be careful, Rosie.
Wait. There's no grumpy dragons out there, Rosie.
It's only ice chunks.
Electrical charges and shock waves.
I'm coming, Mooshu.
Electrical charges and shock waves, just electrical charges and shock waves.
Charge!
Got you, Mooshu.
That was really brave, Rosie,
but next time, don't go out into a storm, okay?
Lightning's not safe.
Okay, Mrs. T.
Here's some hot chocolate.
-Thanks Mom. -Thank you.
I still can't get over how awesome that rescue was, Rosie.
Yeah. You faced your fears and crushed them.
Thanks. Guess you were right, Ada,
being brave doesn't mean you can't be scared.
I couldn't have done it without you teaching me about thunderstorms
and being the best besties ever.
What? It's just lightning and thunder.
Popcorn?
