Magic School Bus Microscope Lab

Now, with the help of The Magic School Bus, your child can take a science field trip into the microscopic world! If your young learner is the inquisitive type, he or she can now get up close and personal with water droplets, plant parts, textile fibers, paper, crystals, and much more. Viewing ordinary objects at 100x to 600x magnification, young learners will see what appear to be strange creations from another world, but it will amazingly be a much better vision of the world immediately around them. Not only will young learners have a blast playing with this lab, but they will also be building on their observation skills and developing and understanding of the scientific method.

Packaged as a school bus, this lab holds all of the materials and creates an exciting atmosphere for young learners to begin conducting their own investigative experiments. Ms. Frizzle and her students act as hosts when young scientists board the bus and take a journey to view their surroundings on a much smaller scale. While learning the different parts of the microscope and how it works, young learners will explore their way through 20 included experiments. After completing the experiments and recording their findings in the data notebook, the excitement continues as young learners create a countless number of their own experiments for years to come. Seatbelts everyone! Get ready to investigate with the Microscope Lab!
