Once upon a time, in the blazingly beautiful, cactus-studded land of Arizona, was a group of kids who were as sharp as a saguaro's spine and as lively as a tumbleweed in a twister. With the steadfast, towering Grand Canyon to the North, and the hot, shady Sonoran Desert to the South, the Arizona Adventurers, as they called themselves, had a playground as vast as the skies. Their leader was a quirky, curious character named Zippy the Zonkey, a half-zebra, half-donkey who wore neon sunglasses and a hat that spun like a helicopter blade. Zippy had a wonky walk and brayed with a laugh but he had a heart that sparkled brighter than a desert star. He was the perfect leader for the Arizona Adventurers, leading them into the enticing maze of experiments and mysteries. With Zippy, the Arizona Adventurers took part in the coolest, weirdest and wildest experiments. They made volcanoes out of mashed potatoes, created rainbows in a jar, and even built a spaceship out of old soda bottles. They sent messages to aliens with a radio made from a cereal box and a roll of tin foil. They were fearless, inventive, and had a blast muddling in the magic of science, their laughter echoing off the Arizona mountains. These kids were not afraid of getting their hands dirty, or their faces painted with the joy of learning. Each day in Arizona was like a new page in their big book of experiments, and Zippy was there to guide them, with his funny trot and his crazy experiments that turned every day into an adventure. Together, they created a world of wonders, right there in the heart of Arizona, proving that science was anything but boring.
