CTR Review

The Magic School Bus web site is an online area where children can explore their interest in science topics through games and commercially sponsored activities hosted by their favorite Magic School Bus characters. "Guided Tours" through topic areas such as Animals, Insects, Marine Life, Space, and the Human Body are offered. Each tour has games, test-your-knowledge pop quizzes, activities, video clips, and so on. Also included are study guides, lesson plans, and "kitchen science" experiments to try at home. This is an excellent site, child-friendly and rich in content. While it is stronger in content, the flash-based games such as the maze, are primitive.
