How is it made? In Ms. Frizzle's class, there's just one way to find out — a field trip on The Magic School Bus! After experiencing firsthand how a powerplant makes electricity, the kids shrink small enough to squeeze through the electric power lines. They learn how electric current travels through the town, and how it 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. It's the most energizing field trip ever!
