==Premise==
|prod. code = 40402
With [[Arthur Read|Arthur]] off doing his homework, [[D.W. Read|D.W.]] spends some quality time with the [[Alan Powers|Brain]]. She learns about many things in science. When Arthur refuses to go with her to the Exploratorium, she makes her own in the back yard. She makes many false theories about science and spreads them to her friends, but Arthur can't think of how to prove them wrong. He ultimately takes her to the Exploratorium to explain how things really work.

==Summary==
D.W. discovers a passion for science, but her explanations for questions like why the sky is blue don't sound right to Arthur.
 
==Plot==
==Plot==
Brain explains the Earth's rotation that causes day and night, when Arthur stops him, saying that they don't understand what he's saying. We then see he's talking to Baby Kate and Pal.

After the title card, Arthur and Buster are watching NOVA, when D.W. distracts them, annoying Arthur. Later, Arthur and Francine are playing catch, when Francine spells a word D.W. can't understand. Later, Arthur wants to see the sci-fi movie 5,000 Explosions and a Supernova. D.W. wants to go too, but Arthur won't let her. In Arthur's room, D.W. talks to Brain, annoying Arthur. Brain shows D.W. some science fun while Arthur is doing his homework. At dinner, Arthur blames D.W. for bothering Brain, which D.W. denies. After dinner, D.W. wants to go to the exploratorium, but Arthur won't let her.
 
The next day, D.W. starts her own world of science and won't let Arthur in, but Arthur loans her 73 cents, a ring, a torn horse sticker, and a sourball. D.W. presents her exhibit wrong, much to Arthur's annoyance.
 
Finally, Arthur tells his parents he wants to take D.W. to the exploratorium, which his dad is surprised by. "Yes, please!" Arthur replies. "Tell her she has to go!"
 
With that, Arthur and the Brain take D.W. to the exploratorium to learn the correct scientific answers to her questions. D.W. then states that her theory that Arthur would beg to take her to the exploratorium was correct, much to his shock. Brain comments that D.W. is much smarter than she seems, finishing the episode.

===Cultural references===
*The [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nova_(TV_series) NOVA] television program that Arthur and Buster watch is a real show, not to mention the fact that it is from [[PBS]], the same company that provides ''Arthur'' (both shows are produced by [[WGBH]]).
