* ProductDeliveryOrdeal: In this episode, a short circuit renders an electric generator unusable to fuel a Ferris Wheel. Mikey then suggests Ms. Fizzle and her classmates bring an alternate source of energy to make the Wheel operate again and satisfy the impatient customers. They then choose to use the large boulders located behind a small mountain to make the Wheel move with their kinetic energy. After lots of thought and some trial and error, by the end of the episode, the kids end up placing a waterwheel next to a river to move a conveyor belt that transports the boulders into a catapult (powered by water boiled with sunlight) that launches them to seats of half of the Ferris Wheel to move it while the customers safely ride in the seats of the other half. The episode is meant to showcase the applications of energy, hence the assets used by the kids to solve the problem at hand.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: After the electric cable shorts out, the class tries to manually run the Ferris Wheel. As they quickly realize, it's too heavy and that it would take "a day" for them to make a full turn.

At the local carnival, the class is running a Ferris Wheel for charity. They realize that Carlos forgot to plug in the Wheel, however, and when he tries the cable shorts out. With the crowds demanding refunds on their tickets, the class enlists Carlos's brother Mikey to find an alternative energy source.

* TooDumbToLive: Yeah Ralphie, the catapult jammed, and it has enough potential energy to throw a rock over a mountain - ''Get on top of it to unjam it''. You're lucky to be alive! This is ''literally'' something Wile E. Coyote was known for doing! That's how bad of an idea that was!
