What is science? Ms. Frizzle’s students need science fair projects and they need them fast! AAs usual, Ms. Frizzle has a zany plan. ‘The class heads out for a whirlwind tour of science through the ages, getting ideas from some of the greatest scientists ofall time — Galileo, Newton, Einstein, and more. ‘The sclentists they meet are inquisitive, creative, and determined allot like Ms. Frizzle! Afterall, with their observations, experiments, and endless curiosity, these brilliant minds laid the foundation for modern science — and for our science fairs today. So don't miss the bus. ‘Hop aboard for an illuminating look ‘at what science is all about!

Newton returned to his family farm, ‘While at home, he discovered many things. The most important was that the laws of motion on Earth are the same laws that control the motion of the whole universe. This idea is called Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation 22 Ms. Frizzle said Isaac was thinking about the Earth and the moon. ‘Thump! Isaac saw an apple fall off the tree. “Hmm,” he said. “I know that the apple was pulled by Earth’s gravity. If gravity’s pull can reach to the top of the tree, maybe it can reach as far as the moon.” WHAT HAPPENS INTHE sky RAS NOTHING T0 Do WITH WHAT HAPPENS ON EARTH /Now Newton began thinking about the sun HOW GRAVITY MAKES ORBITS and planets. He told us, “The sun's gravity by Keesha holds the planets and their moons in orbit.” Keeshais like the earth.

Louis wanted to help them all. He began asking questions about all the problems. In his lab he found answers that helped make the world a healthier place. 30 Suddenly, a distinguished gentleman came by. “May I be of help?” he asked. “Louis Pasteur!” our teacher answered “Iwas hoping you'd come along.” When the tire was fixed, Louis asked us to drive him home. {CLASS Meer LOUIS PASTEUR.
