The magic school bus inside th human body

It all began when Ms frizzle showed our class our filmstrip about human body.We knew trouble is going to start,because we know that Ms frizzle is weirdest teacher in the world.But 1 boy Arnold wasn`t interested so Ms Frizzle said "We`re going to learn about ourselves.That will interest you Arnold!" and Arnold says " I can`t take











the pressure!"[Do you know? most cells are so small that we can`t see them without a microscope and your body is made of trillions of tiny pieces called cells.] The very next day, the frizz made us do an experiment on our own bodies.Then she announced that we were going on a class trip to the science museum..We were











going to see an exhibit about how our bodies get energy from the food we eat.Ms frizzle whimpered "your cells need Energy to help you grow, move,talk and play.Arnold whimpered another funny sentence again, "Just being in Ms frizzle`s class takes all my energy."[Do you know, different kind of cells have different jobs. Here are some different cells : lung cells help you breathe,muscle cells help you move and brain cells help you think.The trip started out like any other trip.We rode to the museum in the old school bus. Along the away, we stopped at a park for lunch. [ Do you know? your tongue is covered with thousands of taste buds. Different kinds of the











tongue have taste buds that defect different flavours. Arnold stared at his lunch because he hate his lunch so he said to Carlos " I`ll trade you these terrific fish sticks for that horrible peanut butter sandwich."And Calos said " forget it!" Wanda and Keesha whispered about Ms Frizzles shoes.When it was time to go, everyone came to the bus but Arnold.He was still at the table , daydreaming and eating a bag of Cheesy -Weenies. [Do you know?your body needs good food.Here are some of health foods.





Fruit and vegetables, dairy foods but not butter. whole grain and cereal and pasta and meat.] Digestion comes from a word that means to divide like smashed up and our food get smaller parts and when you swallow,muscles squeeze to push food to your stomach .] Ms Frizzle said happily " We`re are passing through the stomach." It was not exactly quiet in there.








The walls of the stomach moved in and out, churning and mashing the food into a thick liquid. The bus was turning round and round and digestive jucie splashed the windows. Now we knew how it felt to be a hamburger! [Do you know? sometimes your stomach churns when there is not much food in it. Then the gases in your stomach make a gurgling sound.] Ms Frizzle drove to the bottom of the stomach. Ms frizzle said "we will





drive through n this opening to the small intestine ," someone said I wanna go home! But someone else said " but this is educational." and Calos said "does education has to be this messy?" Arnold stomach was strange. The small intestine was a colled up hollow tube.The inner walls of the tube were covered with tiny fingers called villi."In the villi are tiny blood cells. "food molecules are taken into these blood vessels" Ms frizzle. "Once the food is in the blood,it can travel all over the body.[Do you know? the small and large intestines are 6~7 m long. They are curved because when intestines were straight, it`s taller than your body so you might be as tall as a house.Someone talked, "I hope Arnold can see this" and someone else whispered "thats better than waste." Keesha shouted "yeah! It`s so gross!" Blood vessel is another science word.



Blood vessels are tubes that carry blood.They are like pipelines running through your body.Now we were in the blood.but it did not look red."Blood is not a red liquid" explained Ms


Frizzle."Blood is made of cells floating in a clear fluid" Those cells look red rubber saucers!" someone called out."Those are red blood cells." said Ms Frizzle."Red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs to all the cells of the body." [Do you know? A little more than half of the blood is a yellowish fluid called Plasma. The rest of the blood is made of floating cells.Blood are red because without a microscope, blood looks red because there are so many red blood cells in it!In every

drop of blood there are 250 million red blood cells.] Wanda stared at the cells. Here and there a white blood cell was busy detroying and disease germs. "White blood cells are like soldiers protecting your body" Ms Frizzle explained. [ Do you know? your blood is like a delivery service. It carries food and oxygren to your body`s n cells and waste products away from the cells.] Looking back, we saw a white blood cell chasing after the bus. " We`ll be safer with the red bloods cells,kids" Ms frizzle said. Then they get out of the Arnolds body and then they went home quietly.
