As the students took their seats Mo scoped out his competition Penelope was a wizard on the recorder Emmett was the fastest kid in the second grade Jerome could blow his nose to the tune of the alphabet And Luna could eat a popsicle in three bites Mo had to admit it was a very talented class At least he didn’t need to worry about Muriel As far as he knew no cat had ever won a science contest
Drumroll please said Ms Rawlinfort
The problem you must solve announced Ms Rawlinfort is what is something big you can make with something small Mo opened his notebook For a serious scientist like him this was going to be easy He didn’t even need to wait for an idea There were several storming into his brain already What he did need was a pencil but as usual his was nowhere to be found You can borrow my purple pizazz said Muriel holding out a pencil crayon
SCINTILLATING BULLETIN BOARD SCIENTIST OF THE MONTH MARIE CURIE 1 SCIENCE SYMPOSIUM No thanks said Mo. Serious scientists did not use purple pizazz TICKET On the way to the borrowing bucket Mo snuck a closer look at the trophy and the ticket tacked to the bulletin board One week at Camp Curie the most serious science camp in the whole city Soon he wouldn't have to worry about losing pencils At Camp Curie he'd invent a pencil that came when you called it
