Movie Reviews of The Magic School Bus - Human Body
Movie Review: Bones, Muscles and Joints--As Well As the Digestive & Circulatory Systems
Summary: 5 Stars
I homeschool (unschool) my son, and the Magic School Bus series is GREAT for teaching kids science. We have 4 DVD sets and a few VHS's.
If you're unfamiliar with the premise, the central characters are Ms. Frizzle (a teacher), her class, Liz the lizard and the Bus. Ms. Frizzle takes her class on crazy field trips, where Bus--and sometimes the kids!--experience a transformation so they can get closer to the action. (For example, become a bee or turning into water droplets.)
One of our most recent purchases was The Human Body and it's excellent as always. These three episodes cover various aspects of the human body:
*For Lunch - The digestive system
*Inside Ralphie - The circulatory system
*Flexes Its Muscles - Bones, Muscles and Joints
There is also a peek inside Map of the Human Body for kids to explore.
This CD runs about 80 minutes and is supposedly geared towards children 3-8. Personally, I think the age-appropriate range is more like 6-10 because of the complex concepts introduced.
However, if younger kids enjoy it--more power to them! It certainly can't hurt to introduce science to younger kids if the Magic School Bus holds their interest.
My 8-year old son really enjoys the series now (he didn't get into it when he was younger), so I use the Magic School Bus series to supplement our learning/experimenting with science principles. And, my son seems to love The Human Body; in fact, he's watching it right now!
Summary of The Magic School Bus - Human Body
The Magic School Bus is off on a roller-coaster ride through our insides and anybody could be the next field trip! As Ms. Frizzle leads the way the class takes an action-packed journey through Arnold's digestive system a pulsating excursion through Ralphie's bloodstream and an exciting exploration through the Ralphie Robot to learn about bones joints and muscles. Their valiant vehicle can go anywhere and be anything so each field trip is an awesome adventure. Includes three 30-minute TV episodes: For Lunch; Inside Ralphie; and Flexes Its Muscles.Running Time: 80 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: CHILDREN/FAMILY UPC: 085365818323Similar DVD Movies
