The Science Fair Surprise

Jordan had spent three weeks building a volcano model for the school science fair, using baking soda and vinegar to create a bubbling eruption. The night before the fair, Jordan tested the volcano one last time — and nothing happened. No bubbles, no eruption, just a quiet, disappointing fizz. Jordan almost gave up, but instead decided to figure out what went wrong. After checking each step, Jordan realized the baking soda had gotten wet and lost its power. With a fresh batch and only hours to spare, Jordan tried again. This time, the volcano erupted perfectly, and the next day, it was one of the most popular projects at the fair.
