 A Creative and Accessible Lesson in Electricity October 22, 2009
Shanna A. Gonzalez (Gaithersburg, MD)
This story begins with an ordinary public-school class who have an extraordinary teacher. On their field trip to an electric power plant, Ms. Frizzle, Mary Poppins-like, shrinks the class to the size of electrons and they magically travel through the plant and into power lines, through light bulbs and into everyday appliances. In the course of this journey, they learn how electricity is generated and used for different purposes. The story is told with creativity, humor, and a level of detail that is appropriate for the target audience.
Because the topic of electricity is more complex than some of the other Magic School Bus topics, it may be better to read aloud all the sidebar text and conversations, not just the primary narrative text. Introduction of this slightly more advanced book may need to wait a year or so later than other books in the series. As I've said before, I recommend only the original books in this series, not the derivative ones based on the TV program.

My children who are 5 have been enjoying all of the original magic school bus books. This one was full of information that I didn't know. I have enjoyed learning with them.

Electricity. My kids told me not to worry when I got shocked as I walked across the floor and touched the wall switch because it was just electricity.

I have loved this series since I was a child. Advise these to any parents or teachers who want to teach their kids Science in a fun way.

My 5 year old granddaughter loves the Magic School Bus. She says they are fun adventures. My daughter taught school and she thinks they have good interest to create a love of reading.
