Mrs. Frizzle and her strange clothes and shoes are an embarrassment to her students. But the magic of her teaching is what happens when they take a trip to the waterworks.
I always enjoy reading the Magic School Bus series even as an adult. Kids love these books because they make learning fun and exciting.
Have students read other books about water and discuss as a class all the ways we use water and all the ways nature uses water. You can also use water to teach measurements, such as gallons, pints, liters, ect.

This is a great book. It goes along with the TV series. My daughter loves to watch the show. This is a field trip adventure and a great book for k-5.

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. However, they do not become rain drops and end up in the city's waterworks system.

Setting: This setting is appropriate because the students are first in the school and then go through the water cycle and waterworks of the city.

Media: watercolor, pastels
