When Mika's brother gets a microscope for his birthday, he is quick to say that he will not be sharing, announcing that science is, "Only for boys." Join Mika as she travels far and wide (but really just to her backyard) to learn more about science and herself, collecting bugs and plants to prove that she is a scientist no matter what biases others may have. At the dinner table, Mika tells her family about her collection. When her mom hears about the conflict, she has a creative solution that leaves everyone happy, reminding her kids that science is for everybody under the sun.
