1. EXT PARK -- DAY Open on SENOR TAPIR sitting up in a tall tree with his guitar, in the park of Animal Town. A group of kids, including ELINOR and ARI, see him in the tree and point. ari Senor Tapir! What are you doing up there? SENOR TAPIR I wanted to see what the park looks like from up here - it’s very INTERESTING! ARI How are you gonna get down? ELINOR Maybe you could use a PARACHUTE! A THOUGHT BUBBLE appears as Elinor imagines this. SENOR TAPIR Actually, I was just thinking about the inventor who designed the world’s first parachute - Louis-Sébastien Lenormand ... Sitting on the branch, Senor Tapir starts to strum his guitar and sings. We TRANSITION to a simpler style of animation that describes what he is singing. 2. EXT. TOWER -- DAY Lenormand arrives to the bottom of a tall tower and looks up. SENOR TAPIR (singing) Lenormand wanted to jump off the tower, And land nice and soft, like a leaf or a flower, He didn’t know how to safely get down, Til he saw someone walk high above town. PAN OVER TO REVEAL: A tight-rope walker. Lenormand watches the tightrope-walker balance using a parasol with interest. SENOR TAPIR (CONT’D) The umbrella trick made him think, And from there, He had an idea To float down through the air.. He has an idea! We see a THOUGHT BUBBLE of using umbrellas to float down gently. Lenormand runs OS then returns immediately with and armful of umbrellas and a basket of rocks and starts to climb the tower. A crowd gathers [shown in simple silhouette] senor tapir (CONT’D) The umbrella could help him land safe and sound But how big an umbrella would help get him down? He needed to find one just the right size And figuring that out would take a few tries At the top of the tower he starts his experiments. He drops a small rock with a small umbrella - it floats down gently. SENOR TAPIR (CONT’D) Design, test and improve, It’s best way to know just what to do, He drops a large rock with a small umbrella, it crashes down, SenOR TAPIR (CONT’D) Design, test and improve, That’s how he knew which umbrella to use, He drops a large rock with a large umbrella, it floats down gently. SENOR TAPIR (CONT’D) Lenormand used umbrellas and rocks, Different sizes! He kept trying things out, and discovered surprises, At last, he saw, big umbrellas were best, They were the ones that passed all his tests, Lenormand starts sketching rapidly. He dashes off screen and returns with a huge bundle of fabric attached with ropes to a harness. SENOR TAPIR (CONT’D) He built a device with the same basic shape It fit like a glove (or a very big cape) He dons the parachute and jumps! SENOR TAPIR (CONT’D) It worked out! He landed With a gentle “Plop!” It’s best to be safe For such a big drop! His parachute size had been carefully planned, To hold him up gently as he drifted to land. (CHORUS) Design, test and improve, It’s the best way to know just what to do, Design, test and improve, That’s how Lenormand made the parachute. Lenormand floats gently to the ground. TRANSITION TO: 4. EXT PARK -- DAY ELINOR / ARI “Wow!” / “That's amazing!” eliNOR Do you need help getting down, Senor Tapir? SENOR TAPIR No thank you Elinor, I have just what I need! Tapir is now wearing a parachute and jumps out of the tall tree, floating gently down. He lands and bows to the kids who applaud. <SFX: applause>. "OUR ATTEMPT (again, take it or leave it!) Lenormand wanted to jump off the tower And land nice and soft, like a leaf or a flower He didn't know how he would safely get down Til he saw someone walking high above town

ELINOR WONDERS WHY EWW INTERSTITIAL 105: SENOR TAPIR Lenormand's Parachute Written by MEG ROSENBURG FOLLOWS: "THE TOMATO DROP" CONNECTION: The invention of the parachute CURRICULUM: Inspired by a tightrope walker’s parasol, Louis-Sébastien Lenormand tries out designs for his invention — the “parachute” — by scaling up his experiments with differently weighted objects and umbrellas of different sizes to perfect a version for his big jump.

Begin to understand that asking questions, making observations, and gathering information are helpful in thinking about problems, and that it is important to clearly understand the problem before beginning to design a solution.
