Free Science Plans Using Magic School Bus DVDs


As I researched my options for my son's 2nd grade science, I poured over book after book and option after option. Many just seemed way over his head, some were just too pricey and others, well, just looked like they sucked all the fun out of science! All the while, my little man continually asked, "Mom, can I watch one more Magic School Bus, pleeeeease?" Hmmmm, lightbulb!

So, I spent HOURS pulling together a plan for him to use these DVD's as a basis for his science curriculum.  First, I purchased the entire 40 episodes of MSB for less than $40. Or, if you already have a subscription to stream Netflix, you can view all these episodes there!!! A wonderful reader has posted a list in the comments below to to let you know where to find each episode. Thank you, Tawnya!

I have included a reference on the plans for which disc to use each week, what the topic is, a book to read aloud, a project or experiment, a BrainPop Jr video (optional), and a writing assignment for each topic. The books, I request from my local library, the experiments are inexpensive and easy to do (most from Pinterest, yeah Pinterest!) and the writing assignments are all from great teachers and bloggers on Teacher's Pay Teachers - nearly all of them free! I even lined up some fun activities by the season like light at Christmas time, hearts and circulation in February and constructing a leprechaun trap in March.
A glimpse of ANTS week materials
This is not a full-proof curriculum, and comes with no guarantees. I just thought that after all the work put into this, it would be a shame to have it used for only one child! So this is my gift to all of you! I believe I have triple-checked all the links, but if you happen to run into an issue, please leave me a comment below and I will be sure to correct it.

If you would like to try this out for yourself, grab a copy of the file HERE

If you decide to use the plans, either in part or as a whole, would you be so kind as to leave a comment below?

    This sounds fabulous! I'm doing something similar with The Bernstein Bears' Big Book of Science and Nature for my daughter's kindergarten year.

      We also have the Berenstain Bears' Big Book of Science......is this something you have already created or something you are working on?

      I have not used that book, but appreciate the suggestion. We've already begun our school year, so my schedule is rather full for now, but I will take a look at it and perhaps plan for that sometime as well.

      Enchanted Homeschooling Mom put together a year of science around the Berenstain Bears science book. I'm not sure if it's free or in her lifetime subscription section, which I think is around $15.

      Ha! Actually you're right. I only listed the titles to search for on the BrainPop site instead of direct links. My computer makes me login each time and then bumps me to a main screen so outside links didn't work. The couple of links that are in the column are because those videos are NOT from BrainPop. Hope that helps!

    Hi! We will be using this for our son (6 almost 7) and daughter (4 almost 5)! Thank you so much for doing this for us! They are 2 of our 4 kids. Our oldest is on the gifted-side and is on an accelerated track. Planning assignments and finding curriculum that doesn't bore him takes a lot of my time. Our youngest is almost 2 and busy busy busy! So our 2 middles end up getting "homeschool scraps." I'm working on teaching to them and their strengths this year! I'm determined! They love Magic Schoolbus and we've been getting the kits. With these plans, I'll be able to give them a structured lesson that I'm sure they will be appreciate! Thanks again from the bottom of our hearts!

    My son just discovered MSB books, and we have amazing discussions throughout! I finally googled "lesson plans MSB" and came across your website. Its PERFECT for getting him immersed in a variety of scientific themes without overwhelming him (he is just 5, but extremely explorative). Your plans offer simple projects that wet his appetite for good science, and open up a world around him without being exhausting for me to plan and execute. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
