Huey, Dewey and Louie are conducting an experiment.  They put on their goggles and aprons and listen to the teacher’s instructions.  During the lab, they spilled some of the liquids but wiped it up using their shirts.  Dewey hadn’t eaten breakfast and sneaked a couple bites of a Pop Tart, but Huey said it was okay because Dewey was just the recorder and wasn’t the one handling the liquids.  When the experiment didn’t go as planned, they asked Mr. Duck to help them before they moved on.  When it was time to clean up, the boys poured their liquids into the trash and wiped out the beakers before returning them.  They waited for Mr. Duck to dismiss them.
