EXTRA CREDIT!!!

My favorite show is Phineas and Ferb. The episode I watched was called Unfair Science Fair. This had a lot to do with science. As you can see from the title that this episode was about a science fair. In this episode Biljeet's summer teacher says that he got an A- on a project for the science fair. Biljeet gets all emotional and says that he is a failure. He told his teacher that he was building a portal to Mars. In reply his teacher says that unless it dosen't work he will get an A-. So Phineas and Ferb help Biljeet make this portal to Mars, and in the end it works. Building a portal to Mars is all science. On the other hand we have Doofensmirtz who makes the biggest baking soda volcano. He was mad and ticked off beacuse every time he entered the sciencefair the first prize ribbon was given to a person who made a baking soda volcano. Baking soda volcano is classifeied under chemistry. As you can see this episode talked a lot about science!!!
