4:04 pm
our senior education reporter live in the newsroom. what are some of the sticking points here? leanne: let me just address this because i know a lot of parents are wondering if teachers could strike as early as monday, and the answer is no. teachers in the union, about 2700 of them, would have to vote first, so it is all a process. we want to show you sky 7 video happening now, video of a teacher car caravan which just arrived at the alameda county board of education, which oversees the oakland unified school district. teachers are there to appeal to that board. they want to have their voices heard. there are three demands that are being negotiated right now. the main one over testing. >> the threat of a teacher strike looms over oakland as last-minute negotiations are expected to go until late in the evening. >> if tonight's
4:05 pm
bring an agreement, i am authorized to call a strike vote. >> teachers would then have to vote possibly as early as monday. there are three demands made by the union that the school district has agreed on, but according to the union, the school district refuses to put them in writing. covid testing is one of them. teachers want each school to have access to testing on site once a week. right now, some families have to travel to a nearby site. the union also argues that the hours of operation, 8:00 to 4:00, are not practical. >> if they have to go across to a place, they may not have a vehicle to access that. when they close at 4:00, many families are still working at 6:00, many teachers are still working. >> the union is also asking the district to guarantee teachers

4:07 pm
concerns that they may run out and not be able to fulfill that agreement. kristen: thank you. a bit of a bump up in covid cases on california today. there are 125,861 new cases, and the positivity rate is up slightly. larry: three large new studies from the cdc highlight the importance of getting a booster shot to provide the best protection against the omicron coronavirus variant. all studies found unvaccinated people face the highest risk. kristen: the u.k. government says it is monitoring and omicron sub variant. so far, no evidence it is more dangerous than omicron. larry: in a move to fight vaccine hesitancy along with misinformation, new restrictions or lifting the parental requirement for preteens to receive any vaccine, including for covid. amy: he held a press conference
4:08 pm
here at everett middle school in san francisco, which is in his district, saying unvaccinated kids make schools less safe. he was surrounded by supporters, including the medical officer for san francisco, dr. colfax, and teenagers who support this bill. there -- state data says there are one million california teenagers that are not vaccinated. he says that is not only a health issue but also takes teens out of some of their activities that require vaccination. the teenagers say they are grateful for this. they believe this will make a huge difference in young people's lives now and further down the road for other vaccinations. senator weiner points out this lines up with existing law in california regarding other health decisions. >> california already allows 12 to 17-year-olds to make some significant medical decisions. 12-year-olds already today go in
4:09 pm
and receive an hpv or hepatitis b vaccine without their parents being there. >> so many teens live in sadness. covid is taking away happiness and futures, and we cannot ignore the price. >> we did ask about parents' rights to decide for their kids. he said parents mostly do get to decide for their kids, but in this limited situation with the fda deciding this vaccine is safe, he says kids should be able to overrule their parents and get vaccinated. he points out it might not be an anti-vaccination situation, just busy parents who have not gotten around to it, or their kids are at a vaccine clinic, and they don't have the paperwork. he says this would help clear the way for that decision. if this passes through the legislature, it will go into effect next january. kristen: 60,000 at home antigen
4:10 pm
covid tests are set to be given out for free in santa clara county starting tomorrow. appointments to get them open up today, but slots are filling up quickly. >> the sticker here we have placed on it saying it is not for resale, and anyone attempting to sell it could be criminally prosecuted. seth: here's one example of those hard to find at home covid tests, now set to be given to those who live, work, or go to school in santa clara county. the county is planning to hand out 60,000 starting next weekend. this park is virtually empty, but come tomorrow, it is one of the sites where thousands of people who have a reservation can get those at home covid tests. in cap -- in total, the county has 4 distribution sites. slots at marshall cottle park were shown booked through monday. >> through this system, 15,000 appointments left will be available and each individual will receive 4 tests per
4:11 pm
appointment. seth: the tests themselves are coming from a santa clara-based company. in many situations, the antigen test is the preferred option. >> people who have met criteria for leaving isolation based on cdc guidelines but may need a negative test to do so. seth: and another good use of it is if you have symptoms hour exposure and cannot get to a pcr tests right away. the county says work is being done to make sure people in what they call at risk communities have access to the test. working with community-based organizations in teams to bring them door-to-door. authorities say we are starting to see a decrease in the surge, but it is still prevalent in the community. >> at home testing is another tool in our toolbox to help us fight the ongoing search. -- ongoing surge. kristen: for more information about testing sites or if you

>> it is interesting. why what i want something to cover up my picture? >> i don't want to beon't want'' say it, but that's a topic for another day. >> i'm still trying to understand all this. >> right. i understand twitter is trying to find ways to monetize what they do, but i think it is, like, $2.99. one of the things you can get is you can get longer videos. you can post videos up to 10 minutes long. that could be helpful for some. a popular christmas movie finally getting a sequel nearly 40 years after it first hit the uterus.

4:49 pm
mixture of sunshine and clouds and fog will start to come back in the morning. now for our super science. >> since it is winter months, we are here at the exploratorium to explore all the different phases of water, and one of our favorite phases, ice. let's go take a look. i'm with charles, and we are standing in front of a large water freeze exhibit which charles made. the best way i would describe this is it is not your average ice. what did you create here? >> i made a machine for watching water freeze. it freezes a thin layer of water on top of a sheet of glass and
4:50 pm
allows people to see that happen in real time. >> that is so cool. what do we have around the perimeter of the machine? >> these are polarizers. polarized filters. they are like sunglasses, but they are used in a different way here, but they are the same thing. there's also a filter underneath the ice, and the white that comes through is polarized, and interacts with these filters and allows you to see the color. >> what's going to happen? we will get some water on the ice, and, hopefully, what will we see through these lenses? >> let's take a look. if you take this sprayer, you can melt some of the ice, and you get a little circle. if we wait, it will start growing back from the edges. yeah, so it heats up, growing. >> oh, woe -- whoa.
4:51 pm
>> you start to see it moving in, like little whiskers that become bigger. it is just like a rainbow of all these different colors moving through the ice. >> i had no idea that this would produce colors. how did you come up with that? >> i grew up in northern new mexico. you take a shower in the bathroom and the fog would condense on the windows and freeze. i just took the polarizer because like a lot of cool things happen with polarizers, so it was kind of an irrational i may as well do something interesting. >> we were talking about 60 seconds. if you look in now, the design is beautiful, it is chaotic, it is colorful. it is crazy how fast it can grow. entire block of ice down.
4:52 pm
any crystals that formed are getting wiped away and we have basically a clean slate that we are going to work with. >> sometimes i can make it start by touching it. >> oh! that was the coolest thing. >> basically, i ran my finger and kind of ok little line with the water, and it was the catalyst to initiate the forming of the ice crystals, and it spread like a crack in class or ice, and it made this beautiful design. >> as more ice forms and it gets thicker, the colors get more vibrant. >> charles, this is a great activity. especially for those in the bay area, people need to come check this out. >> i tried to make things beautiful because i think it reaches a lot of people who might be intimidated by science. even people who make analogies
4:53 pm
