The Magic School Bus and the Climate Challenge [Magic School Bus]

By Cole, Joanna

Publishers Summary:
Like it or not, global warming is a hot topic, and it will affect the younger generation the most. So why not turn to the teacher kids like the most, Ms. Frizzle! Only the Friz can boil all the hoopla down to the scientific facts in a fun and informative way. With trademark simplicity and wit, Joanna Cole explains why the earth is getting warmer, and Bruce Degen's bright, action-filled illustrations make the science easy to understand and fun to learn. This team brings a new, improved understanding to climate change, engaging kids and empowering all. Teachers will cheer! Kids already love the Magic School Bus, and the love to do what's right by the planet. At last, a way to teach the curriculum and make an impact! A note from Joanna Cole: While I was writing The Magic School Bus and the Climate Change Challenge, all I could think about was the kids who will read it. I wanted to give them hope. More than that, I wanted to tell them how their own actions as children can help solve the crisis of global warming. You will see a real blueprint for this in the book. Our young readers will be voters before we know it, and educating them today will influence their actions as they grow older. Wouldn't it be wonderful if The Magic School Bus could help change the climate for the better?

As in the previous books in this outstanding science series, the students in Ms. Frizzle's class head out on an investigative field trip, this time to gather information for their play about "Earth and all the changes that are happening." In the magic school bus (temporarily a plane), the students fly over the Arctic to witness for themselves receding glaciers and melting polar ice, high up into the atmosphere to see proliferating carbon dioxide molecules, and down again to view alternative energy source...Log In or Sign Up to Read More
