MSB Science Plans

 

For even more ideas, check out my MSB Pinterest Board!  

Each week, you can introduce the science lesson by watching the Magic School Bus episode either on Netflix or DVD. Follow with the coordinating book (I get mine from the library) on Day 2. Gather your supplies and do the project for Day 3 (Don't forget to take lots of pictures! These are great memories!) If you have a subscription to BrainPop Jr., you can watch their video and even take the easy quiz on Day 4. The optional writing projects for day 5 may be started earlier in the week, if you'd like, and be completed by Day 5.
