Rey in 1941, will use George's insatiable curiosity as a way of acquainting preschoolers with key concepts in math, science and engineering. © 2009 Rocky Mountain PBS http://www.rmpbs.org/resources/files/programs/100x100/16374.jpg http://www.rmpbs.org/content/index.cfm/program/16374 100 100 Buoy Wonder - Today is a big day for Bill. He's entering his boat in the Model Boat Show! But George discovers that the boat sinks and to keep Bills hopes for a prize afloat, he decides to build a new boat. After some trial and error, George finds out which building materials sink and which float. Roller Monkey - A monkey on roller skates seems unlikely until Mr. And Mrs. Dulson ask George to wear a pair in front of their toy store to attract customers. George's skating rolls out of control, so Hundley steps in to help. Soon George, Hundley, and even Gnocchi find themselves learning about momentum and inertia at a rapid downhill pace. http://www.rmpbs.org/content/index.cfm/program/16374-104/rss http://www.rmpbs.org/content/index.cfm/program/16374-104/rss Fri, 20 Nov 09 06:30:00 -0700 Zeros to Donuts - When George learns about the meaning and power of zero, he is ready to test out his knowledge. The perfect opportunity arises when he's sent to the donut shop for one dozen donuts. But when he adds a couple of zeros, he's surprised to find out he gets one hundred dozen. Now he has to figure out what to do with all those extra donuts before The Man with the Yellow Hat notices. "Curious George", Stain Remover - George spills grape juice on the new rug and needs to figure out a way to clean it up before The Man with the Yellow Hat returns! Too much soap and too much water make matters worse. With the help of the barnyard animals (and some simple engineering), George uses the Renkins' water pump to clean up the mess. http://www.rmpbs.org/content/index.cfm/program/16374-103/rss http://www.rmpbs.org/content/index.cfm/program/16374-103/rss Fri, 20 Nov 09 12:00:00 -0700 Zeros to Donuts - When George learns about the meaning and power of zero, he is ready to test out his knowledge.

Not to worry, the Man just wrote a book to make people aware that the bird needs assistance. But unfortunately, stores don't want to carry the book because, at 1,400 pages, it looks like a boring scientific tome. Fortunately, George runs into Steve who has lots of idea for promoting his lemonade stand. This prompts George to come up with an idea of his own - paint an empty billboard with a razzle-dazzle picture to help promote the book. Easier said than done and even when done, will it help sell the book and spread the bird word? Juicy George - George has never seen a farmer's market before and finding one on his doorstep is just about the best thing ever - until he drinks Juicy Jay's special blended juice and then that's the best thing ever! When the farmer's market leaves and there's no more juice, the Man with the Yellow Hat and George decide they need their own juicer. As they start to unpack their new purchase, the Man gets called away. A smart monkey can figure out a juicer on his own and recreate the special juice, right? It's certainly not as easy as it seems and certainly not a mess-free process! Although he has a few missteps (amazing how mushed vegetables can fly all the way to the ceiling), George masters the juicer. But will he be able to make the juice he and the Man think is the best ever? http://www.rmpbs.org/content/index.cfm/program/16374-402/rss http://www.rmpbs.org/content/index.cfm/program/16374-402/rss Mon, 23 Nov 09 06:30:00 -0700 Buoy Wonder - Today is a big day for Bill.

While the Chef is cooking up a meal to tempt a restaurant critic, George and Gnocchi experiment with kitchen magic. They learn that when cooking, not everything becomes floppy like spaghetti and some things don't really belong in the pasta pot. "Curious George" Takes Another Job - After George's success helping Chef Pisghetti impress the restaurant critic, the Chef suggests that George help his friend Mr. Glass wash the windows of his skyscraper-The Glass Palace. A perfect job for a little monkey! But maybe not a curious monkey because George can't help but be distracted by some amazing shadows he sees inside the windows. http://www.rmpbs.org/content/index.cfm/program/16374-106/rss http://www.rmpbs.org/content/index.cfm/program/16374-106/rss Tue, 24 Nov 09 06:30:00 -0700 The Big Picture - George loves imitating the Cerulean Warbler's distinct chirp and is aghast when the Man with the Yellow Hat tells him that his favorite bird is on the endangered species list.

But when George finds some intriguingly shaped packages, the lobby is soon filled with tennis, bowling, and golf balls and a ton of empty boxes! George and Hundley scramble to put the balls back in the right size boxes before the ball-collector tenant comes to retrieve his packages! "Curious George" Goes Up the River - George is supposed to be feeding the ducks while The Man with the Yellow Hat helps Mrs. Renkins look for her lost baby chicks. But somehow, "feeding the ducks" turns into a trip down the river for George and Jumpy. At first, it's fun, but soon George and Jumpy realize they're getting pretty far from home. With the help of some familiar landmarks, they make their way back safely-and the baby chicks find them! http://www.rmpbs.org/content/index.cfm/program/16374-107/rss http://www.rmpbs.org/content/index.cfm/program/16374-107/rss Thu, 26 Nov 09 12:00:00 -0700 "Curious George", Dog Counter - It's Dog Show Day! George and Professor Wiseman spend the day with all kinds of different dogs: big, small, hairy...and hungry. With the help of his sandwich, George tempts the winning dogs to follow him home to show The Man with the Yellow Hat. Once there, George can't keep track of all the dogs, so he and a worried Hundley come up with creative ways to sort and count the dogs in the apartment. Squirrel For a Day - When Bill shows George how Jumpy Squirrel stores his food in the ground, George decides this is a pretty good idea and tries to store all the food in the country house in the ground too. The Man with the Yellow Hat rescues their supplies and tries to explain that they should only put things in the ground if they want them to grow. That sounds like another great plan.

Will a rubber band grow into an inner tube? http://www.rmpbs.org/content/index.cfm/program/16374-109/rss http://www.rmpbs.org/content/index.cfm/program/16374-109/rss Fri, 27 Nov 09 06:30:00 -0700 The Big Picture - George loves imitating the Cerulean Warbler's distinct chirp and is aghast when the Man with the Yellow Hat tells him that his favorite bird is on the endangered species list.

He conscientiously feeds them and even decides to give them a little vacation in the lagoon. But the tadpoles disappear and George worries that he's lost Bill's pets forever. After weeks of searching, George is ready to give up hope, until he learns that the tadpoles haven't vanished; they've grown into frogs! EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVE: To understand that all living organisms have a life cycle. "Curious George" Finds His Way: Hundley and George get locked out of the building in the back alley. While trying to find their way back in, they get hopelessly lost. To make matters worse, it starts to get dark. It isn't until they begin to hear some familiar sounds they realize that with the combination of Hundley's sharp ears and George's good memory of what they'd heard along the way, they can find their way home. EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVE: To explore properties of sound. http://www.rmpbs.org/content/index.cfm/program/16374-110/rss http://www.rmpbs.org/content/index.cfm/program/16374-110/rss Mon, 30 Nov 09 06:30:00 -0700 "Curious George", Dog Counter - It's Dog Show Day!
