Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, friends, Welcome to his biology squad. We are a
team of spies who specialize in science. You see, Doctor
Stinky Breath in the Purple Ninjas are trying to take
over the world through science, and it is up to
us to stop them before it is too late.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
Debra Ninjas, why does na sing? We ever do never facts?

Speaker 1 (00:37):
It makes me sad, He says, we are so bad
at doing bad.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
Oh, boss, no, don't don't cry. Bass.

Speaker 1 (00:49):
Here we got something from you. The Purple Ninjas handed
Doctor Stinky Breath, some stinky flowers and a box of
stinky chocolate.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
Oh thank you pretty much, Purple jeers. Hmmm, I feel
better already.

Speaker 1 (01:07):
And this change in my emotions have has given me
a great idea.

Speaker 2 (01:13):
Purple Linja, just go get me three bags of dirt.
It's about to get a little dirty in here.

Speaker 1 (01:24):
It was a beautiful Monday morning as Jaden and Ava
were both on the same bus with their class on
their way to a field.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
Trip to the chocolate factory.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
Holy smokes, that sounds like an awesome field trip. Jaden's
face was pressed up against the glass because he was
just so excited. Peva, I can't wait to get there,
do you think they're gonna let us like taste chocolate.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
I don't know, said Ava.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
I'm really excited to learn about, like how chocolate like
starts from a seed and grows up all all the
way into a delicious chocolate bar. Do you think they
like pluck the chocolate off of the trees. I actually
haven't really thought of that, said Jaden. The only thing
I'm thinking about right now is that I hope they
give us a test on all the flavors. You know,

(02:15):
then we got to match up the flavor to the
name of the chocolate.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
I'm pretty sure I would pass that one, because I
just I want to taste them all.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
If you couldn't tell, they were both very excited about
this chocolate field trip, which I can't blame them for.
I would feel just as excited as they are. There
it is, shouted Jaden. Off in the distance, they could
see it, this ginormous chocolate factory. The school bus turned
into the parking lot, screeched on the brakes, and came

(02:47):
to a stop. All right, class, we are right on schedule,
said their teacher. We only have about five minutes until
the tour begins, So everyone come out of the bus
and form a single file line. J In, Ava and
their entire class started following the tour gride around the facility.
But first they began in a very hot and wet room. WHOA,

(03:10):
I was not expecting it to be this hot. Where
in the world are we said Jaden. Ah, looks like
we're they're taking us inside a greenhouse, said Ava. Oh cool, Look,
those are kokoa trees. A greenhouse is a very specially
made room that has dirt on the bottom on the

(03:30):
floor for plants to grow, and it's completely covered and
surrounded so that it can be temperature controlled. You see
those kokoa trees, They need to be grown inside of
a rainforest, and unfortunately Ava and Jaden don't live near
a rainforest, and so that's where they've built a rainforest
inside of this greenhouse, which means it's very hot and

(03:53):
very wet. WHOA are those the pods? Ava couldn't believe it.

Speaker 2 (03:59):
There was. It was so awesome.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
Those trees had these bright yellow pods, which is the
first step towards getting to a chocolate bar.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
All right, everyone keep following.

Speaker 1 (04:10):
Me, said the tour guide. We're off to the fermentation room.
The ferment what said Jaden? Oh, the fermentation room, said Ava.
I bet that's where they ferment the beans from those pods.
Come on, as the whole class followed the tour guide
into this new room, there it was spread out on

(04:31):
all these tables were slimy beans. Uugh, wait a second,
you mean our chocolate comes from that, said Jadon. Their
tour guide heard Jadon and laughed, yes, Jaden, Yeah, remember
those yellow pods from those trees in the greenhouse. Well,
first they have to take those pods down, and then

(04:54):
they open them up, said Ava. Inside are those slimy
beans that need to be fermented. That brings out all
the delicious flavors for later. I'm just glad my chocolate
isn't as slimy as those beans, said Jaden. As they
walked on the rest of the way, the tour guide
started to tell them all about the magical powers of chocolate.

(05:18):
You see, and that is called tripta fan, said the
tour guide as he was pointing to a ginormous whiteboard.
Trip to fan is a pretty impressive amino acid. All right,
let me ask a question. When you eat a piece
of chocolate, does it change the way you feel? Jadan
didn't even need a second to shoot his arm up

(05:38):
in the sky. Yes, Jaden, said the tour guide. When
I eat chocolate, it makes me happier, shouted Jaden.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
Yes, you're right. Uh, chocolate can make us happier.

Speaker 1 (05:50):
But it can also have a lot of sugar, which
we should not eat too much of. But this very
special amino acid found in chocolate called te fan, it
can produce feelings in our brain that makes us feel happy. WHOA,
I didn't know that, said Ava. See Ava, I told

(06:10):
you we all just need more chocolate in our lives,
said Jaden. I don't think that's what he meant, Jaden,
said Ava. The tour continued on the rest of the morning,
and they finally made it all the way to the
oven where they cook those beans. You see, the process

(06:31):
is those cocoa trees make those pods. They take the
pods and open them up and wait for those slimy
beans to get all their delicious flavors through that process
called fermentation.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
Right.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
Once those beans are nice and fermented, then they need
to be dried out in a nice hot oven. For
a very long time. Jaden and Ava and their whole
class were having one of the best days of their
life learning all about how chocolate is made. But meanwhile,
up in the Stinky Blimp lab.

Speaker 2 (07:09):
Look at these Purple Ninja's.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
Doctor Stinky Breath was doing his own experiments.

Speaker 3 (07:16):
Ah, squhy, are you digging in the dirt like that?

Speaker 1 (07:20):
Well you could say, I'm planting this seed for testing.

Speaker 3 (07:26):
What kind of testing? And what kind of scene is that?
Never seen one that looks like that?

Speaker 2 (07:32):
Well you could say.

Speaker 1 (07:34):
This is a special seed that will make a very
special kind of chocolate.

Speaker 3 (07:43):
Oh I see, this is how we're gonna take over
the world. Oh wow, I like this idea.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
Oh no, what in the world are they doing?

Speaker 1 (07:57):
I hope they're not able to destroy chocolate, but for
the rest of us through whatever crazy experiments doctors think
your brother's doing. Oh no, this is gonna be some
really bad news for Jaden and Ava if this actually
comes true. But wait a second, how in the world
could he take over the world through chocolate? That doesn't

(08:17):
make any sense to me, But we're gonna have to
wait and see what happens on the next episode of
Spiology Squad. We need more kids just like you on
our Biology Squad. If you love science or if you
love stopping bad guys, you need to go to spiologysquad

(08:38):
dot com so that you can join our team, because
there's an adventure around every corner.
