We call living things on Earth, crew members and not passengers…

Flex and Dux tells us about the earth that is covered by a thin layer of atmosphere and stays in space exactly the right distance from the sun, in order to carry all living things and to keep them alive.

We learn that plants, animals and humans, each one of them – no matter how big or small – has a niche (a place and task) to make life possible for all on Earth. The Flixies also learn about the cycle of meat eaters, plant eaters and decomposers!

The Flixies (and of course Facto) find out how wonderfully this ‘spaceship’ Earth is built and how it’s positioned in space so that different forms of life on Earth can be sustained. They are reminded that the earth is exactly the right distance from the sun and therefore has the precise temperature to support and sustain life – it’s neither too cold nor too hot.

The Flixies share an entertaining time together in the wetlands. Kwax and Crox, the two water Flixies, stage a play act as though they are some of the ancient lobe-finned fish that first stuck their heads out of water. They crawl about in the muddy waters and wonder it must be like to live on dry land. And so the Flixies learn about all the problems that vertebrates possibly had to face with the transition from life in water to life on land…

Die eerste groen plante het in water geleef. Omdat toestande op land baie anders is as in water, sou die oudste plante eenvoudig uitdroog en nie kon regop bly sonder die ondersteuning wat water bied nie. Facto leer hoe plante ontwikkel het sodat hulle, hulle op land kon vestig en watter plante op die ou end suksesvol was en oral op land begin groei het...

Waldo is seker Connie is in groot gevaar. Wat anders beteken die vreemde gedagteflits wat hy gesien het? En wie is die meisie met die geel reënjas wat Waldo ’n ruk lank agtervolg het? Gaan sy weer haar opwagting maak? En wat wil sy he? Die antwoorde op hierdie vrae gaan Waldo se lewe vir ewig verander …

But then she stumbles across the magic of coding and creates an app called “Project Prep” that goes viral and rockets her and her friends to fame.

Oupa Flex vertel ’n baie interessante storie oor die eerste werweldiere, visse, en hoe dit gekom het dat hulle uitbeweeg het land toe. Wetenskaplikes het natuurlik geraai hoe die eerste ou lomp visse wat uit die water kon kruip en die lewe op land kon verken, moes gelyk het. Daar is later fossiele gevind om hierdie raaiskote van wetenskaplikes te ondersteun – fossiele van reuse lobvinvisse, waarvan die vinne amper soos primitiewe bene gelyk het!
