Knot So Fast / Made in the Shade
hero elementary

AJ invents "The Lacer Racer," a shoe-tying car. But, when the car gets out of control, it ties Citytown into knots. How can they build a trap to catch it? Curriculum: A solution can be found by using an engineering design process: What's the problem, what can we try, build, test, and share? / When the ice cream in Stevie Heat's ice cream cart melts, Sparks' Crew investigates how this could have happened, and what they can do to make sure it doesn't happen again. Curriculum: The sun has warming effects. The effect the sun's heat has can be reduced by making shade.

Duration: 28 minutes and 55 seconds

About Hero Elementary:

If you're a kid with superpowers, you belong at Hero Elementary! It's where young heroes in training can learn how to master their less-than-perfected powers and practice day-saving action.

But when their superpowers aren't enough for the job, they can always rely on an additional arsenal of powers: The Superpowers of Science! These kids may be superhuman, but it's science that makes humans truly super.
