Despite learning all of this, the class is still perplexed of what kinds of food plants eat. The class then learns that the leaves are bringing in fresh air. A gust of air suddenly shoots out from it and blows him back up. Keesha notices an opening below and Ralphie, being the food expert he claims to be, takes a whiff, only to fall off and narrowly save himself from falling in. The class exits the bus and learns that leaves look a lot different from the inside out and that the dark, green blobs that make them green are called chloroplasts. Just then, Phoebe starts to become weak and the bus ends up inside one of the leaves. Frizzle thrusts it faster so it goes higher in speed. She watches through the screen of the Plant-o-graph to find the bus has made its way inside the stem and shoots up. Liz hides her under a box so that she is inconspicuous in their eyes. So the class continues to navigate through the root and Phoebe then catches a glimpse of their schoolmates entering the auditorium to see the play. The bus ends up inside one of the roots surrounded by water and the class informs Phoebe that plants derive water from the soil rather than food. The bus ends up getting sucked up along with the water and Phoebe watches in horror as she thinks she's going to stay a plant forever. It goes into the water and the class notices that the roots are growing root ears. The class notices that they are sucking up the water and when Arnold states, "It's good thing we're not any smaller, otherwise, we'd get sucked up too," Ms. Once inside, the class comes across a soil mite and the roots, which are growing due to getting enough food. Frizzle shrinks and accelerates it into the soil under a sweet potato plant. When the rest of the class enter the bus, Ms. Frizzle takes them to the bus to find out what plants need to grow, leaving Liz to keep an eye on the garden, giving her a Plant-o-graph (a megamagnifier hooked up to a TV) to do so. So the rest of the class ponders the kind of food plants need and how they get it. When the class realizes that she needs food, Keesha tries to feed her a bag of Cheesy Weezies, but she tells her she's not hungry for people food. Liz waters her and she tries to think big to grow.
So Liz uses the bus to turn her into one with a paucity of leaves. Frizzle takes the class to the Magic School Bus and Phoebe tells her that she should grow the beanstalk herself. Note that there are also several tie-in science kits that are quite good.The class is putting on a stage production of the classic fairy tale, Jack and the Beanstalk, but Phoebe, who is in charge of props, can't build a fake beanstalk, let alone grow a real one.
MAGIC SCHOOL BUS GESTR PLANTEED SERIES
Have them watch the series (old and new). There is also a series of books centered on Liz, but I am unfamiliar with those.īOTTOM LINE: If you want your kids to learn SCIENCE, get the large rectangular books. There are only three books in this series: Frizzle’s Adventures series, which finds a way to use the Magic School Bus format and apply it to history. The Science Fact Finder Books (of which there are only three: bats, skeletons, field trip facts) are similar to the Magic Treehouse non-fiction books and are packed with relevant information. I can recommend these books in theory, but in practice my kids were far more interested in (you guessed it) the large rectangular books. The Chapter Books are good, similar to the Magic Treehouse series. You will have to read those with your reader if s/he is at this reading level, but totally worth it. The Scholastic Reader Level 2 books are good for the youngest readers, but again nothing compares to the large rectangular books. I am not going to include a list of titles because there are so many of them, but a sample title is The Magic School Bus Blows Its Top. Think of them as a novelization of the individual episodes. You want to AVOID the square books because they are nothing more than a rehash of the episodes. The Magic School Bus and the Climate Challenge The Magic School Bus and the Science Fair Expedition
The Magic School Bus and the Electric Field Trip The Magic School Bus in the Time of the Dinosaurs The Magic School Bus Lost in the Solar System The Magic School Bus Inside the Human Body You want to BUY the large rectangular books because they are loaded with tons of additional science facts presented in an interesting manner.
We own an entire shelf of Magic School Bus books. I assume your little ones love the original Magic School Bus series and have perhaps discovered the new Netflix series, The Magic School Bus rides again.
