Join Ms. Frizzle and her class as they discover the human body!

This book about a classroom takes an adventure on a school bus through the human body. The class entered the body through the mouth and followed the digestive system to the stomach. They also learned about the human blood.

I really like these books. I think they are great way to introduce a lesson. I also really like the fact that when reading the book you are learning but it does not feel as though you are. My favorite thing about the books are that they have notes out to the side to provide more information about the subject.

I would read this book as an introduction to learning about the human body. I would also have the students refer to the pictures when we draw the human body

This book is ideal for elementary students. It teaches them about the human body in a fun way. It makes it interesting and fun to read about. This book would be a great asset to inorporate in your science lesson plans.

Age appropriateness: intermediate
Genre: Science Fiction
Media: Watercolors, ink

This is a good example of science fiction because we see the real world overlapping with fictional pieces. The magic school bus’ trip into the human body reveals facts about it but it is impossible for a bus full of children to shrink and travel inside the body. It is a great way to show students the workings of the human body and many projects can branch off of this book ( )

This is a good example of science fiction because the author takes the real world and adds fictional components. For instance, elementary students do have science class and go on field trips. Many elementary classes will draw their own bodies and add the body systems. However, they do not end up exploring their classmate's body after becoming part of his lunch.

Setting: This is an appropriate setting because the class is studying the human body and goes on a field trip inside of Arnold.

Media: pastels, watercolor, pencils
