Ep 14 - Round And Round We Go/Go-'er Slower Motion: The Zula Patrol is back with another exciting episode called Round And Round We Go/Go-'er Slower Motion. This episode features the Zula Patrol trying to learn about rotation and why things move in circles. They seek the help of Bula and Zeeter, who have been busy learning about the same concept.
The Zula Patrol learns about the rotation of planets, moons, and stars in space. They learn about the orbit of planets around the sun. Their adventure starts when they encounter a comet that is hurtling through space. They observe the movement of the comet, which is moving in a circular path. The Zula Patrol also learns that objects that move in a circular motion have a speed that is measured in revolutions per minute (RPM).
While keeping all this in mind, the Zula Patrol goes off to explore a strange planet. They land their spaceship on the planet's surface and observe the strange rock formations on the planet. They meet an alien on the planet's surface who teaches them about rotation. The alien talks to the Zula Patrol about how the planet rotates on its axis once every 24 hours, which causes day and night.
The Zula Patrol also learns about the speed at which an object rotates. They learn that if an object like a planet rotates too fast or too slow, it can have a negative impact on life on the planet. They also learn how important it is to take things slow and steady when it comes to rotation. The Zula Patrol is impressed with the alien's knowledge and thanks him for his help in understanding the concept of rotation.
But the Zula Patrol's adventure takes a strange turn when the planet's gravity starts to fluctuate, causing them to lose control of their spaceship. Bula and Zeeter work hard to figure out the problem, and they realize that they can use the concept of rotation to slow down the spaceship's descent towards the planet. They put their plan into action and are able to slow down the spaceship's descent. The Zula Patrol is amazed at the power of rotation and decides to use it to their advantage whenever they can.
Overall, Round And Round We Go/Go-'er Slower Motion is an exciting episode that teaches kids about the concept of rotation and how it affects movement. They learn about planets and moons, comets and the speed and direction at which they rotate. The episode is packed full of information that kids will find fascinating and will keep them engaged throughout.
