Rain Or Shine

Stormy Weather: Fixham Beach is hosting a sand sculpture competition. When Mayor Madison loses her ring, the partially-built sand creations are demolished in the search. Without trace of the ring, the team rebuild their sculptures. However, they notice a storm approaching. The Machines cover the sand sculptures with a tarpaulin while the teams take shelter in Chef Tattie's restaurant. The storm passes, the sand castles are saved, and Leo finds Mayor Madison's ring in the beach's stand pipe. Curtis and Leo win the sand sculpture competition and Bob is forced to admit that he can't build everything, particularly sandcastles. Learning Goals: To demonstrate the value of using basic observational skills. To explore a variety of ways to find lost or hidden objects. To show everyone can design and build. Wind and Shine: The Spring City Sea Life Center will be powered by renewable energy and Bob and the team are building wind farm on the site to make it happen. Since Spring City will require more energy as it grows, Scoop 'plans ahead' and convinces Lofty to move the wind turbines closer together in order to fit more into the space. When tested, however, the team discovers that the wind turbines were placed too close-the blades clash and cannot be repaired. The team installs solar panels, along with the remaining wind turbines, to combine solar power and wind power for an energy-saving solution. Learning Goals: To learn what renewable energy is. To understand following a plan can be important to the success of the project.
