Clyde and Rosemary were doing a science project on plants but the beans for the project had wilted. Clyde thinks that his and Rosemary chances of winning the science fair are over until his loose tooth gives him an idea. Since he and Rosemary have loose teeth, they want to see how different liquids stain the teeth. Rosemary gives up her very first loose tooth "for science". The pair has two teeth to experiment with but they need at least one more so they solicit people at school to give up their loose teeth for science. Someone gives up their tooth and they start working on their experiment. Clyde's tooth is stained with tea, Rosemary's tooth is stained with strawberry jello, and the other tooth is stained with grape soda. At the science fair Rosemary and Clyde's project is the most original and they win the blue ribbon that they always hoped for!
This book is about science and how to conduct a science project. Teachers can use this book to show students how they should not give up on things that they may be working on. This book could also get the students to start thinking about a science project that they would like to do if the school is working on having a science fair.
