1. EXT. OLIVE’S FRONT YARD HILL AND FIELD -- DAY START ON: The shining sun. PAN DOWN TO: It’s a sunny, mild winter day and a bunch of kids (the winter team as necessary - SALLY, MARY, LIZZIE, ROLLIE, BODIE) are in the field having a blast building with the sticky snow! They’re making all kinds of snow things – snow forts, snow slides, and lots and lots of snow-balls. <DESIGN NOTE: this is the same location as “The Science of Staying Warm”> ELINOR, ARI and OLIVE exit Olive’s house wearing their light jackets, and no hats. Elinor What a beautiful day! Ari’s attention is caught by the activity in the nearby field. ANGLE ON: The kids playing in the snow. Ari Whoaaa! Look at all the snow-building! OLIVE Snow forts, snow slides, snow balls... ArI And SNOW-BATS!!! Whooo-hooo!! Ari flops on his backs making one of his famous snow-bats. Elinor And everything’s made out of snow. That’s soo cool! ARI Brrr . The snow feels COLD when you l ay down in it. Ari hops up. Meanwhile, Olive picks up some snow with her tru nk and forms a little snow-ball. OlIVE Wow! This is really great snowball snow. She tosses the small snowball to Ari who tosses it to Elinor. Elinor Yeah, the slushy snow really sticks together… Elinor demo’s her snow-ball rolling technique. ElINOR (CONT’D) And the snowball picks up even more snow when you roll it around! ARI (in awe) Whoa. That snowball is making itself. Elinor rolls her snowball around and OS. OlIVE Elinor! Ari! Look at this... Olive has filled a plastic bucket with snow, she upends it. Olive ( CONT’D ) A snow-castle! Ari It’s like we’re at the snow-beach ! At that moment Elinor accidentally rolls her snowball right into Ari. ARI ( CONT’D ) Whooooa ! He does a little flip, lands perfectly in his snow bat (if that works for design) , then bounces to his feet. ArI ( CONT’D ) Ta-dah! I meant to do that. OLIVE (giggling) Smooth move Ari. He does a little bow. ARI Thank you , thank you. ELINOR Sorry Ari, my snowball got away from me. It’s getting so BIG. ANGLE ON: the snowball has rolled a little way off, maybe down a small hill. ARI That IS a big snowball . OLIVE What are you going to do with it, Elinor? Elinor Hmmm, I’m not sure. THOUGHT BUBBLE - shows what Elinor is imagining her snowball, then it’s joined by a second snowball, and a third. They assemble themselves into a classic snowman. ElINOR ( CONT’D ) <GASP!> I have an idea - let’s make a SNOW FRIEND! Ari Not just any Snow Friend. The biggest snow friend EVER!! QUICK SNOW-FRIEND MAKING MONTAGE Elinor, Ari and Olive roll their first snowball around as much as they can, until it’s basically too big to move. They <SX: EFFORTS GRUNT> as they struggle to move it one last time, and collapse around it <SFX: GIGGLING>. CROSSFADE TO: Olive, Ari and Elinor are working on their second snowball. It’s about 1/2 the size of the first one, but still big. They roll it to the bigger ball and roll it up the side and set it in place on top. NOTE: we don’t see the full thing yet. END MONTAGE. Olive Elinor and Ari are admiring their work, eyes wide. <SFX: WHOOOA WALLA> ANGLE ON: Their creation, two snowballs stacked one on top of the other, quite a bit bigger than they are. Olive T hat’s the biggest Snow Friend I’ve ever seen! ArI I t’s a snow GIANT!! (movie music) Duh--duh-DUH!!!!! (big voice) Here’s the giant snow giant stomping around the WORLD! (Ari stomps around) Boom-boom-BOOM! OlIVE Uh, Ari... ARI What? ElINOR (giggling) Our Snow Giant can’t stomp anywhere yet. OlIVE (laughing) He doesn’t have a head , so he can’t see where he’s stomping. ARI Oooh , good point. Suddenly Olive ’s Mom calls from OS. OliVE’s Mom (O.S.) Oooolive! Time to come in for dinner! OLIVE (calling) OK Mom, be right there!! ELINOR I’d better go home too. ArI Wait, what? We can’t leave! Our snow giant is headless ! OLIVE We ’ll finish it tomorrow , Ari. ELINOR Promise! 2 . INT. ARI ’S ROOM – THE NEXT MORNING Ari flies out of bed and to the window. Ari YES!! LOTS MORE SNOW! Now we can finish our Snow Giant. 3 . INT. ARI ’s KITCHEN – MORNING Ari is wolfing down h is breakfast as h is Mom feeds MIRI . Ari’s Mom What’s the rush, Ari ? Ari I have to get to Olive’s house , Mom . We’re making a SNOW GIANT! Ari’s Mom A snow giant . Sounds impressive. Well, you’d better wear your hat. It’s quite a bit colder out there today than it was yesterday - that’s why it snowed . Ari flutters OS. Ari Oh. Okay, mom. Bye. 4 . EXT. OLIVE’S HOUSE - DAY Elinor , Ari and Olive (al l in winter gear) run OS from different directions. OliVE Hey guys! Whoaaa! Look at all the FLUFFY snow!!! ArI We can make our snow giant THREE heads. ELINOR (giggle) We only need one head for now , Ari. OLIVE I’ll start the snowball . Olive picks up some snow in her trunk, but immediately runs into problems. The snow just falls apart and flutters to the ground. OLIVE (CONT’D) Oh! Better try that again. She scoops up more snow - the same thing happens, the snow-ball crumbles and falls to the ground. OLIVE (CONT’D) That’s weird. This NEW snow won’t stick together - it just falls apart. ARI What’s going on – why is the snow so different from yesterday? ELINOR Hmmm. I’m not sure. She picks up a mitt-full of snow. ECU: Of the powdery pile of snow in Elinor’s mitt. ELINOR (CONT’D) It LOOKS pretty much the same. OlIVE Ye ah , but try to make a ball. Elinor squeezes the snow in her mitten, then opens her hands. The powdery snow just falls to the ground. ArI Hmmm . Let me try. Maybe you just have to squeeze harder. Ari grabs a handful of snow in his mitts and starts squeezing it with all his might. ArI ( CONT’D ) RRRRRRRR . Come on snowball, let me make you. RRRRRRR ! Ari’s really getting into it, Olive and Elinor watch him for a beat. OlIVE Is it working? ARI (with effort) I...think...soo .... Ari opens his mitts, the snow just falls to the ground. Ari ( CONT’D ) Or...not . ElINOR Maybe this just isn’t snowball snow. OlIVE I wonder if it’s snow castle snow. Olive picks up her bucket and fills it up, she’s about to upend it when... ArI Wait! Maybe our Snow-friend would like a snow-castle HEAD. Elinor Oooh , great idea, Ari. Ari flies up an upends the bucket on the top of the snow-friend. The snow just rolls off. Ari Nope. I guess this isn’t snow castle snow either. OLIVE Hmmm . Maybe if I pack the snow down a little more... Olive fills her bucket, but just at that moment Olive’s Mom calls from the front door. OlIVE’S MOM Hey kids, who’s ready for some hot chocolate? ArI <GASP> Hot chocolate! ELINOR We are! OlIVE Coming Mom!! The kids run to the house <NOTE: Olive keeps her bucket> 5 . INT. OLIVE’S HOUSE (ENTRANCE) – DAY Olive, Ari and Elinor enter. <NOTE: Olive bucket is filled past the brim with fluffy snow>. OlIVE Whew, it’s nice to be inside where it’s warm. ARI Yeah, I was getting a little cold out there. ElINOR Olive, look! You still have the bucket of snow. OlIVE (laughing) Whoops, I forgot I had it. (to the bucket) Hi little bucket of snow, would you like to see my house? ArI I wonder if buckets of snow like hot chocolate? 6. INT. Olive’s LIving Room - day Olive’s Mom has bundled the kids in blankets on the couch, and they each hold a mug of hot chocolate. The bucket of snow is nestled between Ari and Olive. Elinor Oooh, this is cozy. OlIVE Thanks, Mom! OLIVE’S mOM You’re welcome kids. It IS really cold out there. Olive’s Mom puts a log on the fire and closes the door to the wood stove. Then she goes off. ElINOR I wonder why that snow outside didn’t stick together today ? Ari It sure stuck yesterday. ElinoR Hmmm , that’s true. What’s the difference between today and yesterday? Ari I dunno . What do you say, bucket of snow? ANGLE ON: the bucket of snow, the snow is now just barely poking over the rim. ARI ( CONT’D ) He doesn’t say much. Olive Well one thing is for sure, it’s a lot colder today. I had to wear my heavy snow clothes outside. Ari It IS a lot colder. My Mom said that’s why it snowed . OliVE Luckily we’re inside - where it’s nice and toasty, right bucket of snow? (she glances at the bucket) Uh-oh. Something's happening to the snow. Look! ANGLE ON: The snow is now below the rim of the bucket . OLIVE ( CONT’D ) The bucket used to be filled right to the top. But now it’s not. ArI <GASP!> The snow is SHRINKING! ELINOR That’s sooo interesting. We need MORE observations. SCIENCE ECU: Elinor examines the snow. ELINOR ( CONT’D ) The snow looks a little different. Ari Yeah, there’s a bit of water in there now. Elinor touches the snow. Elinor It feels different too - it’s wet and slushy . Olive’s Mom walks by with a basket of laundry. OLIVE’S MOM Careful with that snow, Olive. If it gets too warm it’ll melt and you might spill water on the couch. Olive looks at her friends. Olive So THAT’s what’s happening. The snow is getting warm... ArI And melting. ELINOR And it was warm outside yesterday. Maybe that’s the difference. OlIVE Well, if this snow is like the snow yesterday because it got warm and melted then... Olive uses her trunk to make a snowball. OLIVE ( CONT’D ) Yes! Perfect snowball snow. ELINOR (realizing) Wait a minute...t hat’s IT! If we’re gonna finish our Snow Giant, we need to warm up the snow. ARI So what do we do? Build our Snow Giant in the house? THOUGHT BUBBLE shows the S n ow Giant in the house . The kids are putting the head in place, it barely fits - bumping the ceiling. OLIVE Maybe, but it’s pretty big. ElINOR Besides, it’s really warm in here compared to outside. Our Snow Giant would melt completely . THOUGHT BUBBLE: Shows the Snow Giant melting, then the bubble POPS! ArI That’s no good. ELINOR We have to warm up the snow just a little bit. Hmmmmm . <GASP> I’ve got it!! (inaudible whispering to Ari and Olive) Olive and Ari break into big smiles. OlIVE That’ll work. ArI Let’s do it. BUCKET BRIGADE MONTAGE: A quick montage of Elinor, Ari and Olive forming a bucket brigade of play pails to warm up the snow. Elinor and Ari are outside, while Olive remains at the door. Ari scoops up snow in a bucket, hands it to Elinor who runs to Olive, Olive takes the snow inside and puts it near (but not too near) the fire. ELINOR/ARi/olive (singing) Elinor: Yesterday was warm, And the snow could really stick Olive: Today it is colder and It doesn’t stick a bit. Ari: We’ll bring the snow inside, Where it’s nice and toasty, then - Elinor: We’ll wait for it to melt a bit, then take it out again ANGLE ON: The snow melting in the buckets. WIDEN TO REVEAL: Olive is watching, she grabs the two buckets and runs to the door and opens it. Ari’s there with two MORE buckets of snow, they exchange buckets, and Olive closes the door and runs back to the fire. ALL: Warm up the snow! Warm up the snow! Make the snow sticky And we’re good to go! When snow is cold it’s powder, When it’s warm it’s slush, We can build anything When we warm up the snow. OUTSIDE: Ari and Elinor are standing beside a good-sized pile of melty snow (maybe its a little bluer). Olive runs out in full winter gear, she scoops up a snowball - it works! Elinor takes it, puts it down and starts rolling, as the snowball gets bigger Ari and Olive join in. Elinor: Our Snow Friend isn’t finished We have to make his head! Olive: So if we can’t use cold, cold snow, We’ll warm it up instead. Ari: When snow gets wet and sticky We can make a good snowball, Elinor: Then put it on our Snow Friend Ari flutters up with the head and balances it in place. Wow, he’s really tall! ALL: Warm up the snow! Warm up the snow! Make the snow sticky And we’re good to go! When snow is cold it’s powder, When it’s warm it’s slush, We can build anything When we warm up the snow END MONTAGE: 7. EXT. OlIVE'S FRONT YARD – DAY The kids are admiring their creation (Note: He doesn’t have a face yet). Elinor/ari/OLIVE Woooooow! ElinoR Now that’s what I call a GIANT snow giant. ArI He’s so big he could crush cars and houses and mountains!! (he starts stomping around) BOOOM! BOOM!!! BOOM!! BOOM! Elinor and Olive look at each other and smile. ELINOR Uh, Ari, our Snow Giant would never do that. ARI Why not? OlIVE He’s friendly! She stretches up her trunk and draws eyes and a big smile. Ari shrugs. ArI Oh! O.k. That works too. Ari flutters up and puts the bucket on the Snow Friend’s head. ArI (CONT’D) How’s it going, giant friendly Snow Friend. ANGLE ON: He perches on it’s shoulder and give s the Snow Friend a hug. ARI (CONT’D) Awww. I think he really likes me. Elinor and Olive <SFX: LAUGH> IRIS OUT, THE END

ELINOR WONDERS WHY EP 122 Snow Friend By Katherine Sandford Elinor’s Question: Why is the snow different today from yesterday? Logline: Elinor and her friends want to build “snow-friends” but the snow isn’t sticky enough. ES1 . Understand that the Earth is made up of a variety of natural materials. a. Explore and describe the characteristics of earth materials such as sand, rocks, soil, water, and air b. Explore water and other Earth materials during play using simple tools. (Elinor and her friends explore the characteristics of snow and.) SEP6 . Constructing explanations (science) and Designing Solutions (engineering) a. Use background knowledge experiences, and data to construct reasonable explanations and theories of natural phenomena (science) b. Look for and describe patterns and relationships in natural phenomena (science) c. Use and apply productive science discourse to support an explanation d. Use evidence to support a theory or solution to a problem (engineering) (Elinor observes that when the weather is colder the snow doesn't stick together and she and her friends figure out that to make the snow stickier, they should warm it up.) MAINS: Elinor, Ari, Olive SECONDARY: Ari's Mom, Olive's Mom. LOCATIONS: Olives's house, interior and exterior, Elinor's room, Elinor Kitchen. PROPS: Plastic buckets, boot tray, wood stove - snow!
