A humorous and educational readers theater script set in a fifth-grade science lab on the morning of the school's annual Science Showcase. Six student scientists are ready to present — until they realize someone mixed up every set of instructions on every workstation. With the principal panicking, the science teacher staying calm, and the cafeteria-aide-turned-narrator surprising everyone, the students use real reasoning to figure out which instructions belong to which experiment. Reinforces the scientific method while integrating literacy instruction.
Theme — When the instructions get tangled, the kids who slow down and read carefully are the ones who solve it.
