In this book, Ms. Frizzle's class goes on a field trip to examine flowers. They all get on their magic school bus and it magically grows wings and shrinks to take them inside of a flower. They see bees and ladybugs that are the same size as their bus and then make their way into the flower. The class stepped in sticky nectar inside of the flower. They examed the anther, which is the part of the flower that makes pollen. They visited the stigma which is the center part of the flower. They also saw the seeds flying in the wind. After visiting each part of the flower, the students get back on the bus where they return to normal size and return to their classroom.
I think I would use this book in my classroom while doing a science unit on flowers. I think this book would be good for students in 2nd or 3rd grade. I think it could be used for a science lesson as maybe an opening to a unit on flowers and the different parts of them.
