![]() ![]() Dorothy Ann then shows him a page of the baseball field and tells him that it would be impossible to play normal baseball there. But when Ralphie rubs his bat against the dirt, he changes his mind and gains interest in the book. The students, however, are more than apathetic of this and continue their game. The sled would continue to move until something stops it, such as dirt, thus creating friction, which slows down and stops every motion on earth. ![]() Dorothy Ann then uses an analogy and tells them to picture a big, red sled in a snow that is stationary until someone hops onto it and Napoleon (as Arnold states since he needs to know who pushes the sled to refresh his memory) gives it a push to elicit its motion, thus creating a force. During the conversation, the students continue to mock Dorothy Ann's affinity for physics, telling her that if she's going to "force" them to listen, she's being kind of "pushy". Frizzle overhears the students' conversation and decides to implement a field trip. But Dorothy Ann explains that the book is about what makes things move and what makes them stop: forces frictions, pushes, and pulls. Ralphie attempts to shoo Dorothy Ann off the field. As Liz runs into the classroom's window, Dorothy Ann tells the other students about her book and the others scoff at this. ![]() But the game is interrupted by Dorothy Ann, who shows them a book of physics. Wanda is on the pitcher's mound and pitches the ball to Ralphie. He is next to bat at the batting cage at the park with the other students and notices that there is no home plate, for the students are pretending. Just then, Keesha's voice is heard, and Ralphie is revealed to have fantasized the whole scenario. 2.1 DVD (NTSC TV standard, DVD region 1)Īt the local baseball stadium, Ralphie is seen batting and the audience cheering him on from the bleachers.The school bus takes students inside a bizarre pinball machine where they must learn about how light gets absorbed, reflected, and refracted. Frizzle's class needs to learn about how light moves and reflects off objects in order to create a light show. Light The Magic School Bus Gets a Bright Idea Frizzle's class enters a 90's era computer to learn about how computers perform tasks by transferring electric signals, and how computers blindly follow program instructions. Frizzle's class enters a simple electric circut to learn what causes electrons to flow through a wire. Frizzle's class visits a haunted house, they learn exactly how noises work by being able to see sound waves in action.Įlectricity The Magic School Bus Gets Charged Sound The Magic School Bus In The Haunted House The school bus takes an elementary class to a frigid climate to learn how insulation keeps things warm. Some of the activities performed in this episode could be replicated afterward with your students to see if they really work.Įnergy The Magic School Bus Getting EnergizedĪn elementary class uses energy of all kinds to get a ferris wheel turning. Somehow ending up shrunk and in a bathroom, an elementary class needs to learn about building stable structures on a small scale in order to escape. Structures The Magic School Bus Under Construction The class learns about how engines work while attempting to keep the Magic School Bus from being junked. The class learns how planes and birds are able to get up into the air and stay there.Ĭombustion The Magic School Bus Revving Up The class enters a hypothetical world where there is no friction to learn the importance this force plays in sports, and anywhere where things need to get around.Īerodynamics The Magic School Bus Taking Flight Physics Friction The Magic School Bus Plays Ball
