• Jean made a wonderful volcano for her science
  project. It showed all the different parts inside
  the volcano. She thought she could win a prize at
  the Science Fair. Still, she was nervous. She
  adjusted the volcano again and again. She
  practiced explaining it and answering questions.
  But other projects were great, too. Her friend
  Luis had built a small cave with rocks that
  glowed.
