Ms. Frizzle takes her class on a field trip through the town's electrical wires so they can learn how electricity is generated and how it is used. Ms. Frizzle's students shrink to the size of atoms and travel through an electrical power plant. From the turbine to the toaster, it's a lightning-fast trip readers will not forget! Small enough to squeeze through power lines, Ms. Frizzle's class learns how electric current travels through the town, lights up a light bulb, heats up a toaster, and runs an electric motor. Fans of the Magic School Bus won't be left behind by this simple and informative introduction to the generation and distribution of electricity. |
