The Magic School Bus Explores the Ocean Floor

In the children’s book “The Magic School Bus on the Ocean Floor” by Joanna Cole and illustrated by Bruce Degen, the students in Miss Frizzle’s class embark on an unexpected adventure to the ocean. At the end of a long day at school, the students are tired and hot from working on their ocean science projects. Miss Frizzle surprises them by announcing a class trip to the ocean the next day. Excitedly, the students show up to school in their bathing suits and board the old school bus, which mysteriously transforms into a submarine once they reach the water. Miss Frizzle leads the students on a journey through different parts of the ocean, explaining various marine habitats and creatures along the way. They explore the intertidal zone, the continental shelf, witness the diversity of fish and encounter sharks, visit the deep ocean floor and observe hot water vents, and finally, explore a coral reef. After a thrilling ride on an ocean current, they wash up on the shore and return to their classroom, grateful for the experience but ready for the weekend. This engaging story introduces children to the wonders of the ocean and its inhabitants in an imaginative and educational way.
