The white foam from the exploding volcano splattered across the classroom, a stark reminder of Vinnie's impulsive experiment. Mr. Appleton, his face a mask of disappointment, stood over the mess, his gaze fixed on Vinnie. Becky, her eyes wide with worry, whispered a frantic apology to Vinnie, while the rest of the class watched in stunned silence. Vinnie, his heart pounding in his chest, felt a wave of shame wash over him. He had been so excited about the experiment, so eager to see what would happen if he doubled the baking soda, that he hadn't considered the consequences. He knew he had made a mistake, and the look on Mr. Appleton's face told him it was a big one.
