They visit and assist various research scientists making and evaluating new products, such as helping Dr. Ick develop special-effects products for the movie industry and helping Dr. Elmer develop new rubber products to be used on the soles of shoes. With Dr. Green they’ll create and test all-natural polymers and they’ll work with Dr. Dry to solve a problem for the company president, Dr. Plastic, whose baby has leaky diapers. Yikes!
