We use them quite often- almost weekly in our school time. Doodle has been on a huge MSB kick lately- and has been reading them- (they are a 3rd grade level book- so I'm impressed that he can!) So last week when I was working on lesson plans for this week- I asked Doodle what he wanted to learn about, or what book should we do for school. He told me- "Magic School Bus" So we did a science heavy week with lots of MSB and experiments. If the kids have suggestions on what they want to study I will *almost always* try and find a way that we can learn about it.Monday- we read the book Inside Ralphie and learned all about Germs- We used this fun experiment from the Magic School bus Website- We learned how our skin protects us from germs- just like the apple's skin helps protect it.
Tuesday we read In the Arctic and learned about insulation, and how to keep warm. We did the "whale blubber" experiment- again from the Magic School Bus site- over on the right under more information is a printable sheet with the experiments on them. 
Wednesday we read All Dried Up (worksheet again came from MSB site) and tested to see which types of food have more water in them- Here's doodle making his predictions- 
Here's where he tested his hypothesis.
Today we read Baked in a Cake-and did a fun experiment on yeast and making bread rise. So we made Pretzels-
