Ms. Frizzle...

Probably most of you know who I'm talking about when I say that name, but for those of you that do not, you are in for a great adventure!

Ms. Frizzle is part of The Magic School Bus series on television. But there is also a line of The Magic School Bus books. Usually, this cartoon is found on PBS stations, but I have noticed it on Disney or Nick once in a while.

Ms. Frizzle is a crazy, red-haired, full-of-fun science teacher. She teaches the students by using field trips. But these are not your ordinary field trips. She has a magical bus that changes the size of the children(and sometimes more than just the size) to whatever is needed for them to learn hands-on. For example, in one episode, she turns the children into bats, so they can go through what a bat has to go through to live. The t.v. episodes are magnificent and my children have always enjoyed watching them. The books are great too.

So if you are looking for a new way to make science a little more interesting, you should try Ms. Frizzle and "The Magic School Bus".

God bless.
