- May 11, 2016
Messy Goes to Okido is a cartoon show that takes children on adventures through science, math, and engineering. In season 1, episode 34, named "Funny Bones," Messy and his friends explore the science of bones and how they work.
The episode begins with Messy, Zoe, and Felix trying to build a statue of themselves using clay. However, they struggle to make the arms and legs bend in different positions. Zoe suggests using bones to give the statue more flexibility and movement. Messy is intrigued and asks what bones are.
Their robot friends, Zim, Zam, and Zoom, explain that bones are hard and strong structures inside our bodies that help us move and support our shape. Messy wonders why they aren't made of squishy stuff like everything else in our body. Zim explains that if bones were squishy, we wouldn't be able to stand up or move around.
To help Messy understand bones better, Zim transforms into a skeleton. Messy is initially scared but quickly realizes it's just Zim in a different form. Zim shows the group the different types of bones, including long bones, short bones, and flat bones, and how they fit together to make our skeleton.
The group then goes on a silly adventure inside Okido's body to see how bones help us move. They meet a group of dancing bones who show them how muscles pull on the bones to make them move. They also see how bending and twisting bones too much can lead to them breaking.
Back in the lab, Messy decides he wants to make his own skeleton using straws and clay. Zoe suggests they add joints and hinges to make the skeleton move like a real one. They use their knowledge of bones and joints to create a flexible and posable skeleton.
During their playtime, Messy accidentally breaks his skeleton. But instead of being upset, he realizes that bones break all the time in real life and they can heal with time. Zim explains that our body has cells that can build new bone tissue to repair breaks.
The episode ends with the group playing with their new skeleton and marveling at the complexity and wonder of our bones.
Overall, "Funny Bones" is an educational and entertaining episode that teaches children about the science of bones in a fun and engaging way. The characters' playful interactions and silly adventures inside Okido's body will keep children entertained while also teaching them valuable lessons about the human body.
