1. EXT. ELINOR’S HOUSE - DAY Olive and Ari arrive at Elinor’s house, playfully <SFX: GIGGLING> ready for a great play day, Ari <SFX: KNOCKS> and Mr. Rabbit opens the door. Ari Hi, Mister Rabbit. Can Elinor come out and play? Mr. Rabbit Sorry, kids. Elinor can’t play outside today, she’s in bed with a sore foot . OLIVE (with concern) Oh, no! What happened? MR. RABBIT Nothing to worry about, just a little bunny-hopping accident. OLIVE Can we visit her? Ari Yeah, maybe we can cheer her up. Mr. RABBIT That’s a really nice idea, kids . S he ’ll be so glad to see you. Off they go. 2. INT. ELINOR’S ROOM - DAY The kids stay by the door as Mr. Rabbit enters and sits on Elinor’s bed . Mr. RABBIT Hey, hunny bunny. You have some visitors. Olive and Ari stay by the door poking their noses in. OlIVE Hi, Elinor , how are you feeling? Ari Does your foot hurt? ELINOR Yeah, a little. I’m not a hoppy bunny today. MR. RABBIT Not to worry, kids, Elinor will be better soon, she just needs to rest. ArI A nd then, have a snack ! Snacks always make me feel better. OliVE And stories! My Mom always reads me s tories to cheer me up. ELINOR Oooh, stories. That sounds good. Mr. RABBIT You’re right. There’s nothing better for a case of the sniffles than some good stories. Luckily Elinor has her own official story-book reader. ArI (impressed) She DOES? Now THAT is cool! (dialogue over thought bubble) Beep boop . Once. Upon. A. Time… THOUGHT BUBBLE: Ari imagines a robot reading to Elinor. Olive (smiling) I think Mr. Rabbit is saying he’s the story-book reader . Mr. RABBIT Yep, that’s me! And I’ll be back in a sec to perform my official story-reading duties. Just let me show your visitors out. Elinor Okay Daddy. Adventure stories please! Ari Bye, Elinor. OliVE Get better soon. ELINOR Thanks for visiting me! 3. IN T. KITCHEN -- DAY The kids and Mr. Rabbit enter the kitchen . Olive I wish we could do something for Elinor to help her feel better. Ari Hmmmm, sometimes when I’m sick my mom makes me soup. Mr. RABBIT Actually I was planning on making Elinor a batch of her favourite - Backyard Soup. Olive Backyard soup? What’s Backyard Soup? Ari Backyard Soup is the yummiest soup ever, I had some with Elinor and her parents once. They make it with all the veggies they grow in the back yard . OlIVE Really? That sounds soooo delicious . Can we help make it, Mr. Rabbit? MR. RABBIT Why sure, that would be great, kids Ari Awesome, what do we do first? MR. RABBIT Mmmmmm...pick the veggies from the garden? 4. EXT. ELINOR’S Garden (SIDE OF THE HOUSE) - DAY The kids follow Mr. Rabbit to the veggie garden. Ari Of course , first thing we need for Backyard Soup is backyard veggies! He gestures. ANGLE ON: The verdant veggie garden - yum! Olive But which ones should we pick? MR. RABBIT Well, let’s see. Tomatoes, beans, beets and carrots for a start. ArI Whoa that’s a LOTTA veggies. How are we gonna remember all those? OlIVE We ’d better make a list. Olive takes out her notebook and crayons and hands them to Mr. Rabbit (maybe there’s a picnic table nearby, so he can draw and they can all watch). MR. RABBIT Good idea Olive. First we need round, red tomatoes. ANGLE ON: Mr. Rabbit draws tomatoes. Ari Then some long skinny green beans. I love those. ANGLE ON: Mr. Rabbit draws long, skinny green beans. Olive Also some beets . Those are purple. Mr. Rabbit draws purple beets with green tops. Mr. RABBIT Okay I think that’s it for now. Ari Uhh, Mr. Rabbit, aren’t you forgetting something...? OlIVE Elinor’s FAVOURITE... Mr. RABBIT CARROTS! I almost forgot. Good thing I’ve got you kids around to help me out. (he draws orange carrots with abundant green leafy tops) So, can you two gather the veggies from the garden while I go and check on Elinor? OlIVE Sure thing, Mr. Rabbit , we’re good helpers. Ari It’s kind of our thing. Let’s go get those veggies. Olive waves her notebook as they head out to the garden and Mr. Rabbit heads to back into the house . 5. INT. ELINOR’S ROOM – DAY Dad enters with Elinor’s favourite adventure book and a glass of water. Mr. RABBIT Ready for a story, hunny bunny? EliNOR Yes, please, official story-book reader. An ADVENTURE story. MR. RABBIT Ah, yes. An ADVENTURE story. (he opens the books and reads) It was a beautiful day for an adventure and our Fearless Explorer… Elinor interrupts with a sniffle. ElinOR Not just any Explorer Daddy, Explorer..Explorer ELINOR. MR. RABBIT Of course, my mistake, Explorer ELINOR . 6. EXT. BACK YARD -- DAY In the back yard Olive and Ari search the garden. OlIVE Okay, let's go find these veggies first thing - round red tomatoes. ArI Tomatoes, tomatoes, tomatoes - oh, there they are! Growing u p on those plants. ANGLE ON: Plump red tomatoes high up on a staked tomato plant. OLIVE Wow! The tomatoes are so big the plants need to be held up by sticks. Ari adds them to the basket. OLIVE (CONT’D) That was easy. Next veggie, beans. ARI Not just any beans, long green yummy beans. (calling) Beans! Beans! Where are you beans? OLIVE Oh, I see them. Growing on the middle of those vines. ANGLE ON: The beans vines climbing poles. ARI Look at that. The bean vines like to climb poles. Olive checks beans off her list. OLIVE We already found two of the veggies. We'll be done in no time. 7. INT. ELINOR’S ROOM – DAY Dad is reading to Elinor as she snuggles in bed. MR. RABBIT Explorer Elinor was having the best adventure EVER. First she climbed a mountain. EliNOR A mountain? Was it very high? THOUGHT BUBBLE - Elinor climbing a mountain that gets higher and higher. MR. RABBIT The highest mountain you’ve ever seen ! Then she swam down to the bottom of the ocean. THOUGHT BUBBLE - Elinor swimming down to the bottom of the ocean. ELINOR A deep ocean? MR. RABBIT The deepest. Then she swung sideways through the jungle on a vine . THOUGHT BUBBLE - Elinor swings through the jungle, as we pan down. ELINOR W heeeeeeee!! That IS an amazing adventure, official storybook reader. MR. RABBIT Glad you like it, Explorer Elinor. 8. EXT. ELINOR’S BACK YARD - DAY Ari and Olive are almost finished their list, they have gathered all the veggies except for the carrots. Olive Okay, we’ve almost finished our list...all we need are beets ... ArI ...and carrots! You can’t forget carrots! OLIVE Right, beets and carrots. Well, those should be easy to find because the beets are purple and the carrots are orange. ARI Yep, they should be pretty easy to spot in all these green leaves . Let's see…orange carrots.. Orange, orange, orange... Huh. I don't see any orange veggies. Then Olive tries looking for the beets . Olive Let’s try purple beets . Purple, purple, purple...I don't see any purple beets either. Where are they? 9. INT. ELINOR’S ROOM - DAY Mister Rabbit is in mid-sentence. MR. RABBIT ...finally Explorer Elinor was happy to be back in her nice comfy bed, the end. (He hears a little <SFX: SNOORE> and looks over to see that Elinor has dozed off. He gives his daughter a little kiss on the forehead. ) Have a good rest, hunny bunny. He tiptoes out. 10. EXT. ELINOR’S GARDEN -- DAY Ari is looking around, as Olive checks the “harvesting list” one more time and notices something they’d forgotten. ArI Where are the carrots and beets ? Mr. Rabbtit said we needed them for the soup so they must be around here somewhere. Hmmm. What would Elinor do? OliVE She'd say, we need more observations! Let's look more closely at our veggie list. The both look at the list. Ari Ok , the list says we need orange carrots. But I don't see any orange in the garden. As Ari looks around the garden, Olive looks more closely at the list. Olive Wait a minute, Ari, l ook at this. The carrot isn’t just the orange pointy part, it has these fuzzy green leaves at the end. ANGLE ON: The drawing of the carrot. ARI Hmmm. I do remember seeing those leaves on carrots my mom buys - kinda like that... OlIVE Maybe we should look for those leaves. ARI Look! Over there! Ari points. ANGLE ON: Carrot greens. Olive runs over and checks them out. OlIVE This is it, Ari. These leaves look like the drawing – green and fuzzy, but where is the pointy orange carrot part? Ari looks down really low. Ari Hey Olive, check this out ! ANGLE ON: Ari notices a tiny spot of orange poking out of the earth - he moves the dirt away. OLIVE Wow, it sure looks like the top of an orange carrot, but it ’s buried underground. ArI Should we dig it up? Olive shrugs. The kids are considering what to do when Mr. Rabbit shows up. MR. RABBIT Hey kids, Elinor’s asleep so I thought I’d come out here and give you a... (noticing) ...what are you looking at? Mr. Rabbit gets down and joins them on the ground. OlIVE Veggies. Ari We'd been trying to find carrots, but we hadn't found any. We thought they grew on the plant, like tomatoes and beans. But now we think THIS is the carrot. Ari points to the carrot. MR. RABBIT What makes you think that? OlIVE Well it has the same green fuzzy leaves that we always see on carrots . ArI And when we looked closer we saw this orange part peeking from the ground . Mr. RABBIT Great investigating kids. You’re right -- it IS a carrot! Ari I KNEW it! OliVE But what’s a carrot doing under the ground? Mr. RABBIT Carrots aren’ t like tomatoes and beans, Olive. The part that we like to eat grows underground. It’s actually the root of the plant. <SFX: WHOA WA LLA> OliVE /ari That is soo interesting . They both <SFX: LAUGH> ARI B ut...how do you get a carrot OUT of the ground. Mr. RABBIT You just give the plant a pull. Go ahead. Ari and Olive each pull a car rot OUT of the ground, falling over backwards as they do. OlIVE WOW! ARI We pulled it right out! Mr. RABBIT See? The orange part is the root. That’s why carrots are called root vegetables. CLOSE ON: the carrot. OlIVE Root vegetables. I LIKE those words. Ari looks to Mr. Rabbit Ari So are beets root vegetables too ? mR. RABBIT Yep . And so are turnips , radishes and potatoes, and we have them all -- ready to dig up in the garden. Ari Did you say dig? I LOVE to dig! SONG MONTAGE As they sing Ari and Olive look at drawings of the veggies’ green leafy parts (carrots, beets, radishes, turnips, potatoes) Then look for that in the garden. They have uncovered the process for finding root vegetables. Maybe Olive draws a brown dirt line in her notebook. Then they dig up the veggies. Olive/ari OLIVE: Veggies are delicious, Veggies are the best. ARI: But did you know, Some veggies grow, Down deeper than the rest. OLIVE: The yummy part of a tomato, Grows out in the sun. ARI: But the yummy part of a carrot grows... Way down Underground. BOTH: Root veggies, root veggies, We all love our root veggies, Beets and potatoes, Carrots and turnips too, Root veggies are so yummy, And they make great soup for you! 11. INT. ELINOR’S ROOM -- DAY Later that afternoon, Elinor is awake. Mister Rabbit comes into her room and sits on her bed. MR. RABBIT How are you feeling, honey bunny. Elinor stretches and yawns. ElINOR A little better. My foot doesn’t hurt as much . MR. RABBIT Good. Ready for another adventure story? ELINOR Uh-huh. MR. RABBIT You’re gonna like this one. It’s about the time Explorer Elinor had to stay in bed because of sore foot . ELINOR Ooooh, I know how she feels. MR. RABBIT But it gets more exciting because her two friends Explorer Olive and Explorer Ari decide to do something to make her feel better. ELINOR Really? MR. RABBIT Yep, they went on an Exploring Adventure in the garden to find vegetables to make Explorer Elinor her favourite soup. THOUGHT BUBBLE Olive and Ari march out into the Garden. ELINOR I like this story. MR. RABBIT Well, they found almost all the veggies, but then there were some they couldn't find. PAN DOWN: to Elinor and her Dad. ELINOR Oh, no, then what happened? MR. RABBIT Mmm , maybe I should let THEM finish the story. Ari and Olive walk in with a tray and a bowl of soup on it covered by a napkin. Ari We wanted to use root veggies, like beets , potatoes , radishes and carrots of course - your favourite . THOUGHT BUBBLE FORMS: Illustrating the story. Olive We looked and looked… until we found our treasure… buried under the ground! Ari That’s why we decided to call our special soup.... Pan down to reveal: They pull the napkin away revealing. Olive/Ari UNDERGROUND SOUP ELiNOR Really? You made Underground Soup just for me? Ari hands the tray to Mr. Rabbit who gets Elinor set up. ARI Yup! OlIVE We wanted to help you feel better , Explorer Elinor. Elinor Aww, thanks Explorers Olive and Ari. ( Elinor takes a sip. ) <Slurrrup>. Ah, now I really DO feel better. Thanks to Explorers Ari and Olive. ArI (to Mr. Rabbit) Told ya we were good helpers. IRIS OUT, THE END.

Logline: E linor’s in bed with a case of the sniffles, so Olive and Ari decide to make some soup to help her feel better, but they can’t find the carrots. CURRICULUM GOALS LS8 . Begin to understand that there are many different kinds of living things and how they may be the same or different: a. Observe and describe similarities and differences across different types of plants. c. Group different kinds of living things into categories based on basic similarities and differences (Olive and Ari learn there are many different kinds of veggies that grow in different ways, then they group together root vegetables, where the edible parts grow underground). SEP2 . Developing and using models a. Represent observable, concrete objects, events, and findings in many different ways b. Distinguish between a model and the actual object, process, and/or events it represents c. Use simple models to support explanations (Ari and Olive draw pictures of the veggies they hope to harvest, and then compare their models to the actual veggies.) SEP3 . Planning and carrying out investigations a. Identify and use a greater variety of tools to extend the senses for observing, measuring, and recording data about objects and events b. Compare and contrast objects and events by describing similarities and differences in detail (Olive and Ari use Olive’s notebook to record information and compare and contrast their pictures to the pictures of the veggies.) SEP8 . Obtaining, evaluating and communicating information c. Describe observable phenomena using adjectives and labels d. Use basic science and engineering practice vocabulary when engaged in investigations e. Use basic science and engineering content vocabulary when investigating and describing observable phenomena f. Share findings and explanations (correct or incorrect) through a variety of methods (Olive and Ari use basic science vocabulary when describing the veggies, and they share what they discovered with Mr. Rabbit.
