On Earth Day, Tim is stuck on an assignment and the class has bought a cocoa tree for Ms. Frizzle as a gift. They find that the shipment of cocoa beans that comes with the tree is pithily small, so they decide to go to the rainforest to find out why the tree is not bearing fruit.



* EurekaMoment: Tim gets two—one when he finally figures out what made the peccaries leave, and when he found out what Earth Day is all about.

to:

* EurekaMoment: AnalogyBackfire: Tim doesn't understand what Phoebe's analogy of squirrels and acorn trees means, thus he can't understand how it symbolizes Earth Day to her.
* AndThenWhat: When DA plans to simply catch some midge flies and release them in the cocoa plantation, Tim points out that when the midges die then the same problem will occur. They need to find a long-term solution.
* AwesomeByAnalysis:
** Phoebe notes that Ms. Frizzle's tree is healthy because the flowers are abundant.
** Tim by sweeping the dust away from the grass in the cocoa tree grove reveals that the ground is coated in artificial turf.
* BadassBookworm: DA, as shown when she tosses away her rainforest guide so as to escape from a runaway pecory when the book doesn't reveal anything. She also confronts Inspector 47 on how his actions have led to the cocoa trees not giving fruit.
* EurekaMoment:
** DA on seeing that a bee is too small to fit into the cocoa flowers, realizes that a tiny insect has to pollinate them.
** Tim swats away bugs after falling in the mud and realizes that mud is where the midge flies breed.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Inspector 47 mentions how he got rid of the mud, the peccaries, and the insects. It turns out that the cocoa trees need all that so as to produce cocoa beans.
