    I will preface this post with the fact, that I know some families don’t care for Magic School Bus books or videos. My children like them a lot and are always learning things from them, I did a little work today that I thought I would share incase it will benefit some other families on this site. I purchased The Magic School Bus: Complete Series on dvd from Amazon. Today I went through my 106 Days of Creation materials and scheduled possible lessons where my two younger boys could watch a Magic School Bus video after our lesson. Here is what I came up with (SCM lesson is first followed by MSB disk number and episode on the disk):

    Lesson 4 – disk 5, #3

    Lesson 8 – disk 5, #5

    Lesson 10 – disk 7, #1

    Lesson 15 – disk 6, #3

    Lesson 16 – disk 3, #5

    Lesson 17 – disk 2, #6

    Lesson 23 – disk 2, #4

    Lesson 24 – disk 6, #1

    Lesson 33 – disk 7, #5

    Lesson 35 – disk 4, #4

    Lesson 37 – disk 1, #1

    Lesson 38 – disk 4, #3

    Lesson 40 – disk 2, #5

    Lesson 41 – disk 5, #1

    Lesson 42 – disk 4, #6

    Lesson 46 – disk 1, #7

    Lesson 47 – disk 1, #5

    Lesson 48 – disk 5, #6

    Lesson 64 – disk 4, #4

    Lesson 67 – disk 3, #2 (on dinosaurs and it references “millions” of years – good teaching point)

    Lesson 73 – disk 8, #2

    Lesson 79 – disk 7, #3

    Lesson 82 – disk 1, #2

    Lesson 85 – disk 5, #7

    Lesson 92 – disk 7, #6

    Lesson 99 – disk 3, #1

    There are a few others you could pop in, but I didn’t find specific lessons:

    germs – disk 1, #3

    food chain – disk 1, #4

    decomposition – disk 1, #6

    butterflies – disk 3, #4 (I already had three videos on insects planned)

    bats – disk 3, #3

    Here is a link to the set on Amazon ~ http://tinyurl.com/ocno3uc

    Hope this helps someone!

    My son loves the magic school bus as well! Wish I would have incorporated them more with our lesson plans!

    I wanted to add something I found that wasn’t MSB, but interesting nonetheless. While browsing Amazon Instant Video, I found Reading Rainbow that when with lesson 42 on bees. The video is called Life Cycle of the Honeybee (#8 in Reading Rainbow Season 1) and my children and I loved it. It was very informative, tho I will say the Moody video was even better, but if you don’t have the Moody video or want more, this is another great one and free if you have Amazon Prime.

    Also free on Amazon from Reading Rainbow are these other videos that seem to go with the science lessons, tho I haven’t personally watched them yet:

    #6 feelings/emotions – lesson 102

    #10 bugs – lesson 40

    #16 day you were born – lesson 77

    #17 waves – lesson 15

    Is it very easy to figure out which episode on Netflix correlates with the disk/episode # as written above by Melissa? We have Netflix and would love to go that route, as we are currently doing 106 Days of Creation.
