Don't put that in your mouth! OK.
So some scientists did a big experiment and they were looking for something and they found it.
No, they didn't find any trucks. Let go of my leg. Sit in your chair.
No, they didn't find any pizza or princess-footballs (???) either.
No, none of that stuff.
They don't even know. Well, they know it's not a truck or a pizza. Verdict's still out on the princess-football.
They found a tiny, tiny thing. It was so small, they weren't even sure they saw it at first. But they kept looking and looking and they found it.
Now they are going to try to figure out what it is they found.
Lets all go outside and look for something very tiny and then figure out what it is we found.
EDIT: *note: I haven't been exposed to 3rd graders in ages; this may be the kindergarten version.
RE-EDIT: So how'd I do, stacks?
