It Came From Outer Space is an episode of the ALVINNN!!! and The Chipmunks series.

Synopsis

Alvin passes off a rock he found on the ground as a meteor for a science project and gets some unwanted attention.

Plot

Alvin prepares for school at the last minute and catches up with his brothers outside. Alvin realizes that he forgot to do his science project after Simon and Theodore show him an enlarged hydrogen atom and a plate of rotting brussel sprouts respectively, so he finds a rock on the sidewalk and decides to pass it off as a meteorite. Simon presents his project first though it puts Miss Smith to sleep and is of no interest to the other students. With some technical assistance from Kevin, Alvin presents next to the class, who are amazed and post pictures of the rock and Alvin to social media. Moments later, government agents arrive to confiscate the meteorite which leads them to chase Alvin throughout the school. Alvin eventually gets caught by a scientist, who tells him that the rock he found really is a meteorite and that it is worth a lot of money. Unfortunately, the government agents confiscate it anyway and leave but not before Theodore tries to sell them his foul smelling brussel sprouts too. Despite Alvin's technical show and creative writing for his presentation, Miss Smith gives Alvin a D- given he didn't really have a science project. He's actually happy about his grade, believing that holding things off until the last minute does pay off. That night at the Seville House, Theodore's plate of brussel sprouts turns out to actually be an alien in disguise and beams up into space.
