The Most Amazing Trips on the Magic School Bus

Ms. Frizzle and her magic bus will take students on incredible STEM-inspired trips through time, space, and even the human body.

By Scholastic Editors
February 7, 2025

It all began with a class field trip when eccentric Ms. Frizzle shrinks a bus full of students and sends them traveling through the city's waterworks system. Since then, there was no place too small (germs!), too big (the solar system!), or too hot (inside a volcano!) for Ms. Frizzle's class to go on incredible science adventures.

The Magic School Bus series explores such STEM topics as magnetism, electrical storms, the human body, the ocean floor, and even the time of the dinosaurs! 

This popular series includes leveled readers, chapter books, and even a brand-new continuation in The Magic School Bus Rides Again to entice every kind of reader in your class.
