The Magic School Bus - Space Adventures
The Magic School Bus heads for the sky and Ms. Frizzle's elementary  school students learn all about flying and outer space in this trio of episodes.  In "Magic School Bus Gets Lost in Space," a class field trip to the planetarium  goes awry, so Ms. Frizzle heads the bus toward outer space for a tour of the  planets in our solar system. Arnold's cousin Janet quickly exchanges skepticism  for awe and becomes obsessed with gathering proof of her space travels--a quest  that ultimately sets Ms. Frizzle floating loose in outer space. The gang returns  to space to destroy an asteroid headed for their school in "Out of This World,"  learning all about orbits, comets, and asteroids along the way. Finally, the  class discovers how air movement and wing design affect flight when they take a  ride in Wanda and Tim's experimental remote-controlled airplane in "Taking  Flight." DVD extras include an interactive "field trip" with onscreen facts  about the planets in our solar system; English, French, or Spanish languages;  and a DVD-ROM space adventure maze and instructions for building a mobile of the  solar system.
