The Magic School Bus is an award winning animated children’s television series based on the book series of the same title by Joanna Cole and Bruce Degen. It is notable for its use of celebrity talent and being both highly entertaining and educational. Ms. Frizzle shrinks the kids so they can play a game of "frictionless baseball" on page 97 of Dorothy Ann's new physics book. But how will they get back to class when the wind blows the book shut trapping Ms. Frizzle and the class in the closed book?
Smart Puppy and his friends use peanuts to understand the size of atoms. Part of the “Smart Puppy! and Friends” series.
Joel and the Curiosity Quest crew visit Big Toys Factory to learn how playground equipment is made. The toys from this factory are made from recycled materials. Part of the Curiosity Quest Series.
Adabot meets James Prescott Joule and learns all about the joule, a unit which measures work. Part of the "Circuit Playground" series.
Adabot wants to know how a light-emitting diode (LED) works. Billie, the blue LED, helps answer the questions. Part of the "Circuit Playground" series.
Join Adabot and friends for a campfire musical. They will learn all about Ohm's Law: the foundation of electrical engineering. Part of the "Circuit Playground" series.
Adabot finds treasure in his rock collection. It's quartz. Have a look inside a quartz watch and learn why it is so important for electronics. Part of the "Circuit Playground" series.
Ladyada and Adabot explain the electrochemical reactions that take place in batteries. After discussing how batteries work, they build a battery out of lemons. Part of the "Circuit Playground" series.
Adabot learns about electromagnetic energy with the help of a new friend, Mr. Heinrich Hertz. Part of the "Circuit Playground" series.
Hans, the integrated circiuit (IC), stops by the lab and explains the role of ICs in an electrical circuit. Part of the "Circuit Playground" series.
Adabot and Minerva are having difficulty talking with one another over the walkie-talkies. There is too much "noise." Minerva helps Adabot understand the phenomena of electrical noise. Part of the "Circuit Playground" series.
Adabot learns all about diodes and their role in an electrical circuit. Diodes act as a safety feature and ensure the electrical current flows in the correct direction. Part of the "Circuit Playground" series.
What is frequency? Why is it so important for radio and sound waves? Adabot gets all the answers from Ladyada and a new friend. Part of the "Circuit Playground" series.
Adabot and friends have formed a band, but they are in need of some new instruments. Ladyada comes to the rescue with some electronic kits they transform into instruments. Part of the "Circuit Playground" series.
Capacitors and batteries store electrical energy, but they also have different functions in a circuit. Adabot and Ladyada discuss those differences, and Cappy, the capacitor, explains how capacitors work in an electrical circuit. Part of the "Circuit Playground" series.
Hans, Ruby, and Mho are trying to make a circuit but are finding it hard to keep it all together. Have no fear, printed circuit boards (PCB's) are here, and they will help connect the electrical components of the circuit. Part of the "Circuit Playground" series.
Adabot learns about electricity after tripping a circuit breaker. Ladayada explains that electricity is measured in amperes. They also use a multimeter to measure the number of electrons in a circuit. Part of the "Circuit Playground" series.
Why do some power cables have two conductors and some have three? Ladyada explains that three prong cables are grounded and provide a layer of safety in electronics. Ladyada and Adabot go through the lab looking for grounded items. Part of the "Circuit Playground" series.
What is the science behind a teeter-totter or slide? Students learn about simple machines as they explore the playground. Part of the “Everyday Science for Preschoolers” series.
