What a fun idea for the kids to do. Helps them really get into their roles of science!
The Magic School Bus was definitely a great source of information for us when we were kids. I guess the newer updated version is because they have to go against so many other newer cartoons, they have to make it in a way to try and attract kids to watch their education program. I haven't watched it yet so I can't really give an opinion based on it just yet. Keeping my mind open.
