Description: What begins as an attempt to catch a stray dog quickly turns into an adventure of a lifetime for Watson, Crick and Rosa. The clever canine tricks them into entering a forgotten gateway that leads to the land of Gaia. There they discover a wondrous world filled with majestic griffins, squabbling shell-less turtles, giant carnivorous plants and mischievous long-nosed snodlops. The three teenagers soon discover that they were summoned to solve a crime, a crime that if they don't solve, will leave them stranded on Gaia forever. It is now up to you to help them catch the thief who stole the master key that opens the gateway between Gaia and Earth, and get home by conducting science experiments and analyzing the evidence. Time is critical and they're running out of it!
Notes: Includes 5 science experiments that can be conducted safely at home with everyday objects.
