I really like this because most kids have experienced being sniffed by a dog. They will relate to the interstitial and then next time they are being sniffed they will likely think about what they learned. 1. Ext PARK – Day working well and agree with Sara and PBS' notes Agree with Sara -- very cute and kid-friendly! Open on Elinor, Olive and Ari standing behind Mr. Dog who is sitting on a log in Animal Town park. Senior Tapir is watching. Elinor puts her hands over Mr Dogs’s eyes, who smiles. We're not sure about Elinor putting her hands over Mr. Dog's eyes -- he's an adult, and we don't think kids would do that without asking first unless they knew the adult very well. We also weren't sure why they have to take turns putting their hands on his eyes, unless it's that their hands need to be close to his nose? Mr DOG Oh! Who’s there? Elinor smiles but doesn’t answer. SENOR TAPIR You have to guess! Mr Dog sniffs the air. MR DOG It’s Elinor! Next, Olive puts her hands over his eyes. MR DOG (CONT’D) And that’s Olive! ARI Wow, how is Mr Dog so good at guessing who it is? Señor Tapir swings his guitar around from behind his back. Señor Tapir You know, this game reminds me of a scientist named Alexandra Horowitz who wanted to know how dogs can tell who is who. 2. Ext Park – Day We see a family of elephants The word "some" in this sentence was challenging. Maybe 'others' would work better? A dog uses its nose like some use their eyes. Señor Tapir (singing) Some animals use their eyes to tell who is who Agree with Sara’s note here. Also, she didn’t mention it but we wondered about using the term experiment vs. investigation. Finally, not sure if kids will understand the phrase “clear as a bell” and if that matters. That one is Jim, that’s Sally, that’s Lou An elephant looks over at three other elephants who each wave their trunk as their names are called out Since dogs have an extra good nose Alexandra Horowitz wanted to know if that’s how dogs tell Sally from Joe Alexandra (as a cat) walks up, smiles and points to the dog’s nose So she designed an experiment and found a surprise A dog uses its nose like some use their eyes Smells waft into a dog’s nose, and it gets thought bubbles of the faces of the animals. CHORUS When a dog sniffs a hand, a leg or a sleeve, They smell so much more than you would believe Sniff sniff, who is Sally Sniff sniff, who is Joe Dogs can tell by using their nose! Everyone has their own different smell. So dogs use their noses to tell Who is who, clear as a bell. Alexandra followed her curiosity She showed us how dogs know you and me She sniffed out the answer, hooray! yippee ! CHORUS When a dog sniffs a hand, a leg or some feet They smell so much more than you would believe Sniff sniff, who is Sally Sniff sniff, who is Joe Dogs can tell by using their nose! 3. Ext PARK – Day Back in the park. Señor Tapir So you see, dogs use their sense of smell to figure out who is who. Mr Dog sniffs Señor Tapir. i think we need to reword so its clear that hes actually complimenting him. playing with "youre a sight for sore eyes" but will our audience understand the compliment? MR DOG Agree with Sara's note, but more importantly, we're a little uncomfortable with Mr. Dog saying that you don't need a dog's special nose to recognize Senor Tapir. Why not? It struck us as potentially offensive to say that the only Spanish-speaking character has a smell so strong that everyone can smell it. You don’t need a dog’s special nose to recognize your smell, Senior! Señor Tapir laughs. This might confuse the audience....I don't think they will make the connections to multiple jokes here. SENOR TAPIR You mean that I smell wonderful, right? MR DOG You’re a smell for sore noses. SENOR TAPIR Smell you later, alligator!

ELINOR WONDERS WHY EWW INTERSTITIAL 108: SENOR TAPIR Alexandra Horwitz and Dogs Written by Matt Giorgianni FOLLOWS: " Ms Mole's Glasses" CONNECTION: Using other senses to recognize things and people. CURRICULUM: Alexandra Horowitz was curious whether dogs use smells to recognize each other and themselves. Dogs react to their own scent, particularly if it's mixed with another smell. Alexandra expanded our idea of recognition in animals by reminding us that there are other senses than vision that animals use to identify animals. SEP1 . Asking questions and defining problems. [Alexandra Horowitz wanted to know how dogs recognize each other] SEP3 . Planning and carrying out investigations. [ Alexandra Horotitz did an experiment ] LS2 - Understand that animals have different body parts that are used in different ways to meet their needs, and that plants have different parts that help them survive and grow. A. Identify body parts of animals and their function. (The kids learn that dogs use their noses to identify other animals). FIRST DRAFT: 3/5/2019 ELINOR MR DOG OLIVE ARI SENOR TAPIR (V.O.) (O.S.)
