Welcome Aboard The Magic School Bus! Are you ready for a wild ride? Grab a seat and hang on for the Emmy® award-winning animated science-adventure series based on the best-selling books.
Understanding the world around us can be a real adventure! That's the message in this 11-part series for children in grades K-4. Kids travel along as our young host explores the world of physical science and how it can be seen, touched and understood in everyday life.
Through instrument, voice, and graphics, students easily discover how sounds are produced and students learn how we hear. Vibration is demonstrated, and children experiment with the way sound travelsin the air, through the ground, and under water. Teacher's Guide available in disk and online: www.schoolvideos.com
This program helps students learn the principles of sound, the range of human hearing, and significant terms as they discover the science behind everyday sounds. Travel deep into the ocean and high into the skies in search of creatures who use echolocation.
