Outlines
🚀 Crafting a Cardboard Rocket Ship
In the first paragraph, Flippy introduces the idea of repurposing cardboard boxes to create something fun, specifically a rocket ship. Flippy demonstrates how to transform a box into a rocket by cutting out a window and reshaping the top into a triangular shape. The process involves using scissors under adult supervision and taping the structure to reinforce it. Flippy expresses excitement about exploring outer space and encourages creativity with cardboard, mentioning past projects like a monster truck and a dolphin named 'Dolphie'.
🎨 Designing the Rocket Ship
The second paragraph delves into the design process of the rocket ship. Flippy suggests starting with a plan and drawing the ship's components on paper, including a trapezoid, a rectangle for the body, and a triangle for the cone. The design is then brought to life with colors, using orange and blue paper to represent different parts of the ship. Flippy also incorporates stars into the design, using yellow paper to symbolize them, and emphasizes the importance of following a plan when creating art projects.
🌌 Exploring Outer Space with the Rocket Ship
Paragraph three continues the rocket ship theme by discussing the application of paint to the model. Flippy chooses blue paint for the top of the rocket and explains the process of painting, including the use of a palette and brush. The importance of keeping colors separate is highlighted when discussing the application of red paint for the name 'Blippi'. The paragraph ends with the rocket ship completed and ready for an imaginary journey through outer space.
🌟 Learning About the Solar System
In the fourth paragraph, Flippy takes the audience on a virtual tour of the solar system from the perspective of being inside the cardboard rocket ship. The journey includes visits to various planets, starting with the Sun and moving through Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. Each planet is described with unique characteristics, such as Mercury's speed and Jupiter's size and storm. The educational aspect is emphasized by learning about the planets' features and their positions relative to the Sun.
📚 Counting and Naming the Planets
The final paragraph wraps up the solar system exploration by counting and naming all the planets, excluding the Sun as it is a star. Flippy humorously addresses the debate over Pluto's planetary status but includes it in the count, leaving the total as either eight or nine. The planets are then named in order, and the paragraph concludes with a reflection on the fun and educational experience of learning about the solar system, hinting at future explorations.

[Music]
hey
it's me flippy and i was just hanging
out in this cardboard box check it out

[Music]
i have an idea why don't we take a few
of these cardboard boxes and make
something out of them
this is gonna be fun
[Music]
oh hey
how are you doing
i'm just making a rocket ship out of
these cardboard boxes
i am using these scissors nice and
safely to cut a giant
window out of it whoa look at that
wow
now i can sit inside it later
then we can explore outer space i am so
excited okay
here we go
so
now that i have my window i can then
put the cardboard box well used to be a
box now it's a rocket ship
up and do you see this this
is a square
yeah but we actually need to make it a
triangle
so let's take our scissors
yep
your parents grown-up supervision you
can cut this
nice and careful
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
okay
one side is done
now we need to do the other side
here we go
[Music]
look at that it used to be a square but
now it's a triangle
okay now we need some tape and then tape
it to make the top of the rocket shed
okay here we go let's grab the tape
pull off a big piece of tape
whoa
all right
let's get the little slice
[Music]
okay there we go
whoa
[Music]
there
i love making things out of cardboard
boxes you can make so many things
today we're making a rocket ship but one
time i made a monster truck another time
i made a dolphin
and i named that dolphin
uh what was that name i think it was
dolphie
oh
sometimes the tape gets stuck but that's
okay we got it
all right
there we go
give it a little slice
and then
tape up the other side
wow
here we go
i am so excited to go into outer space
have you ever seen the stars at night
yeah they're so bright
and the moon
i love the moon have you noticed that
the moon sometimes is a full moon
yeah sometimes
it's a half moon
and sometimes it's a new moon
yeah okay let's uh give this a little
twist
now it's time to design our rocket ship
i am so excited this is one of my
favorite parts
so
the first step to design
is to have a plan
let's take this
white piece of paper right here
and let's draw the rocket ship
so the first thing you need to do is
plan plan how the rocket ship is gonna
look so let's draw the rocket ship
so we have a trapezoid over here
and then we have
a big
rectangle for the body of the rocket
ship
and then we have a triangle
for the cone of
the rocket ship
and obviously i want a lot of color so
first let's take some orange
perfect i love orange and then let's
take some blue
so
let's
color it in
[Music]
i have a plan i'm gonna use
colored paper for that so i'm actually
gonna use this black marker
to symbolize that these are pieces of
paper and we will do that later
all right oh whoa there's a lot of stars
here so let's actually you know make
some stars right here
yeah
yeah i love stars
because you see them at night time when
you look up in the sky and they twinkle
yeah kind of like twinkle twinkle little
star how i wonder what you are and you
know that song i like that song too oh
and yellow
oh yeah that's a beautiful color
wow our rocket ship is looking so good
alright i think i have a really good
idea let's take the color red because
it's nice and bright install my name
will you spell my name with me
ready
e
l
i
[Music]
all right so that is the plan
looks like this triangle the top of the
rocket ship
yeah we could color it how about we
color it
yeah blue i like blue and we actually
have a lot of blue paint on the
here so we can actually just use blue
paint for this part
wow
perfect
wow i think if we can make this
rocket ship in real life it's going to
be so good all right here we go
all right like i said first thing we
have to do is use the blue and orange
colored paper
to put on the side just like this
so let's take the glue stick
yeah
yep put a lot of
glue right on the backs
just like that
okay
there's two pieces
okay there's one
[Music]
here's the second piece
[Music]
all right there's one
two pieces of paper
and
we gotta do
two more
yeah which will make
one
two
three
four pieces of paper
i'm gonna put the glue on them right
over here
okay now we have four pieces one two
three
four so let me finish the rest and then
we'll see how many we have in total
after i'm all done all right
[Music]
it's falling apart
well sometimes if things fall apart you
just have to fix them
okay
here we go and after we fix this then we
can count all of the colors
so
let's take our tape
all right now the rocket booster is all
fixed
yep there we go okay now let's count all
of the colored pieces yeah the blue and
the orange pieces those are my two
favorite colors
okay there's one
two
three
four
five
six
seven
eight
eight pieces of paper good job okay what
else did we have on our piece of paper
over here of our initial plans of our
rocket ship to go to outer space
we had stars
yeah remember we had
yellow stars
[Music]
yellow star
[Applause]
another yellow star
[Music]
[Applause]
wow
they're so bright and they twinkle just
like the real thing

right there
and
last but not least
another purple star
right there
perfect
that looks so cool
all right so as you remember we have to
spell my name on it because that's what
was on the plans
but before we do that
let's do the top of the rocket ship
remember what color i said i was gonna
paint it
yeah the color blue
okay let's take some blue paint
and
my painters palette
i'm an artist
and let's take a paint brush
i love painting
okay and let's squeeze some blue paint

that art technique is called finger
painting there we go
how does that look do you like that
yeah i do too
okay let's put this away you need to
stay nice and clean and organized there

and then
we need to make sure
we don't mix
the red and the blue because then it
won't be red anymore
and it won't be blue
do you know what color you get when you
mix blue and red

but we're going to keep them separate
so let's take this cap off
oh
there is so much paint in here
and i like to use a lot of paint
there we go
a little bit more

we are so silly
check this out
the window is right there yeah
that means
we have to
twist it this way
see
and now
my name is upside down
that's okay though we're gonna fly
through outer space in this new
cardboard rocket ship i am so excited
with my name being upside down
so silly are you ready
because i sure am
here we go
hey
i love outer space good job building the
rocket ship with me now that we're in
outer space i think we should explore
our solar system and learn all about it
all right here we go
whoa
look at that that is our sun
and its name is called
the sun how original our sun provides
all the light in our solar system and
that light takes eight minutes to go
from the sun to our planet earth
and the sun is so big there's 1.3
million earths that can fit inside of it
that's a lot of earths
here we go
outer space is so much fun
oh
look at that planet
that planet is mercury wow that planet
is really rocky and there's so many
craters on it and actually since it's
the closest planet to the sun
one rotation around the sun is super
fast it's only about 88 days on earth
mercury is awesome
now we're at another planet
look at that planet
that planet is the planet venus
and it is so hot it's the hottest planet
whoa it's getting hot in here
the planet has so many volcanoes on it
and it's actually really bright if you
look up in the sky from our planet earth
you can actually see it without a
telescope wow
here we go
this has been awesome
whoa
is that you right there i think i see
you
hey that's planet earth that's where you
and i live
wow what a beautiful planet there's so

night
yeah
that planet is the planet mars whoa it
has two moons wow what a lucky planet
well we've actually sent robots and
rovers to mars that is awesome us humans
have yet to land on mars ourselves but
maybe someday soon
maybe you'll be that astronaut yeah here
we go
asteroid belt was so intense
whoa and look at that that's our planet
jupiter it's the biggest planet in our
solar system and do you see that big red
dot
that is a storm
whoa
that's a big storm and jupiter actually
has 79 moons
that's crazy
see you later jupiter hello saturn
check it out this is our planet saturn
whoa what are those
those are saturn's rings
wow there's so much dust ice and rocks
that form those to make up those rings
wow what a cool looking planet all right
saturn see you later
oh look another planet that is uranus
yeah what a cool planet wow it's kind of
blue looking huh yeah that's because
there's so much ice on it it's known as
the big ice planet whoa it has 13 rings
and 27 moons all right see you later
uranus
this has been so much fun
look at that planet
that planet is the planet neptune
it's so dark cold and windy on that
planet
let's get out of here
the last planet of our solar system
look at it it's really small that is
pluto it's so small it's a dwarf planet
wow and it's really cold
i love pluto
it's really chilly out here though
let's turn around and count all of the
planets shall we
but now look at my name
that was so much fun learning about all
of the planets in our solar system
together hey
i think we should count all of them
okay the sun isn't a planet so let's
count the planets
one
two
three
four
five
six
seven
eight
nine
oh oh
wait a second eight
nine
uh who knows some people say pluto's not
a planet but i don't know it's all up in
the air right now or outer space
so silly eight or nine we'll keep it at
that okay now let's name the planets
ready
mercury
venus
earth
mars

uranus
neptune
pluto
wow
good job all right well i should
