Video Lesson

Optional discussion following the video:

● What was everyone doing in Professor Fern’s garden? Digging up vegetables.

● Were the vegetables for Miss Fern and Miss Tina to eat? No, the vegetables were for the orphanage.

An orphan is someone who doesn’t have a mom and a dad. An orphanage is a home for orphans to live in and be cared for.

What did Rig find when he dug in the garden? A gold nugget.

● Who came to the garden to dig for gold? The robot prospectors.

● What did Rig want to buy for himself? A horsey, a robo-horse.

● What else did Rig think about doing with his nugget? Give it to the orphanage.

● Did Gears want Rig to give the nugget to the orphanage? No, he said it was a crazy idea to give up on his dream of having a robo-horse.

● Who wanted to sell Rig a robo-horse? Professor Spectrum.

● Who was in the horse Spectrum made to fool Rig? Doodad and Grip.

● What was Doodad saving his money to buy? An ice cream machine.

● What did the professor break that belonged to Doodad? His piggy bank.

That wasn’t very kind of Professor Spectrum was it! If Professor Spectrum buys the robo-horse, Rig will need to make a very hard choice!
