The Magic School Bus Rides Again

- Season 2

(2018)

Tim, as the world's biggest fan of Nicki Ray, host of the hit TV game show Puzzlepalooza, couldn't be more thrilled when the class gets invited to be on the show, where he vows to win - and impress Nicki. The theme of this week's contest is 'fossils', and Tim must solve a brain-bender of a puzzle: how did matching fossils wind up on opposite sides of the world?

Crisis! A burglar has ransacked the science classroom, and detectives Keesha and Carlos must find out whodunit. Their prime suspect? Wanda's best bird friend, Magpie Marty, who Wanda just knows is innocent. To solve the crime, the kids must investigate clues, especially the beak marks and foot prints the culprit left behind.

Wanda proudly hosts this year's school harvest feast, but she was so busy promoting it she forget to get the food! Ralphie happens to know of a farm that grows the finest produce around, but there's a hitch: he thinks it's haunted! Wanda's desperation means the class visits anyway, and what they find there is beyond spooky: tractors driven by ghosts, plants that climb walls, and robots!

Jyoti always wants to make her Grandma's birthday special, even if she does live across the ocean. This year, Jyoti planned to email her a 'virtual hug', but Arnold got in the way, digitized himself, and now races across the Internet at nearly the speed of light! Jyoti and the class digitize themselves, too, and the chase is on!

The class sees through the eyes of different animals as they search for an escaped (and invisible) Ratny.

Ms. Frizzle shows the class it's ok to fail, as long as you learn something from the experience.

The kids go looking for rain to test out Jyoti's latest invention, the autobrella, only to wind up with their heads stuck in the clouds.

Ralphie's relatives, a circus troop called The Flying Tennellie's, need the class's help when their trapeze rigger is out. Ralphie and the gang have to use math to make sure the show goes on.

Tim tries to convince Ralphie that trees can talk to each other.

For this year's big school musical, Dorothy Ann plans to drape the stage in beautiful flowers. But her plants are dying, despite their extra clean soil. DA's famous inventor uncle explains why: the plants need 'Brown Gold', a special nutrient to help them thrive. But when the class discovers what the substance actually is - poop - they refuse to help collect enough to save her plants.

Carlos and Janet have been paired up to read stories to a kindergarten class, but Janet gets nervous and irritable in front of crowds. To make her more friendly, Carlos and the class shrink, go inside Janet, and look for her 'Nervous Gene' so they can disable it before the reading.

The last field trip of the year is also the most important: the class must go to the center of the Sun to recharge the bus's Magic Battery, the source of the bus's magic. But when Mr. Ruhle, principal, safety nut, and amateur sun enthusiast, tags along, Arnold must preserve the secret of the field trips to prevent him from cancelling them altogether.
