In the small town of Newtonville, every year, something sparkly and spectacular happens: The Great Science Carnival! It's a day when the whole town buzzes with excitement and curiosity, and no one is more intrigued than little Ellie and her dog, Astro.
This year, Ellie couldn't wait to see the magic science tent, rumored to be filled with colorful potions and fizzy explosions. As she stepped inside, her eyes grew wide with wonder. Shelves upon shelves were stacked with beakers bubbling with rainbow liquids. In the corner, a cheerful scientist in a sparkling lab coat welcomed them. "Hello Ellie and Astro, ready to create some magic?"
Together, they mixed red and blue potions, making a vibrant purple that fizzed and popped, much to Astro’s delight. Next, they dropped a shiny silver nugget into a jar of clear liquid, and with a puff of smoke and a loud "pop", the liquid turned into glittering gold.
Just as they were marveling at their creation, the scientist handed Ellie a mysterious, sparkling powder. "Now, for the grand finale!" he exclaimed. With a sprinkle and a chant, the powder hit the liquid, and suddenly, the whole tent filled with shimmering stars that floated around, making everyone feel like they were in space.
As the day ended, Ellie and Astro left the tent with their minds whirling with new ideas. But there was one thing Ellie couldn't stop wondering about: "What other magical experiments could we try next year at the Science Carnival?" What do you think they should try next?
