SUMMARY

This article provides a description of Magic School Bus Explores the Solar System.

MORE INFORMATION

Imagine going on a nice trip to the planetarium and having the bus you're riding in "morph" into a rocket ship that's headed straight for outer space, and then losing your teacher without a clue as to where she might be.

No lie, with the Friz, this stuff happens. So get ready for the ride of your life.

Yes, you are lost in the Solar System; your only hope of escape lies in your ability to win games, where you win tokens for the Friz Finder.

Some of your classmates have written reports about the Solar System and there are some very cool fact sheets and science experiments, too.

When you get to each planet surface, click on the WhatsIt to play the games. Win the game and you get a token for the Friz Finder. Use the Friz Finder to get up to three hints about which planet she is located on. When you think you've figured out which planet she's on, go to that planet and use the Friz Finder to see if you're right.

When you've found the Friz, you've won.

The Magic School Bus Explores the Solar System is designed for kids of all ages, especially those 6-10. The program is based on a series of books from Scholastic publishing, one of the leading publishers of kids books. In addition to the books, MSB Solar is also being marketed in conjunction with a Magic School Bus animated series on PBS and McDonald's Happy Meals.
