When McDog hears about a science fair in the park, he can hardly contain his excitement-and Bumper can't wait to help. Together they decide to build a purple volcano, gathering materials, mixing paints, and turning science into art. But when the big moment arrives, their volcano refuses to erupt!

With a deep breath and some calm thinking, McDog remembers what they learned about baking soda and vinegar. One small adjustment and boom! The volcano bursts to life, filling the air with cheers and color.
