The Magic School Bus: Gets a Bright Idea

seat belts everyone please let this be a normal field trip with a friend no way strolling down that main street you're relaxed and you feel good next thing you know you see the nostrils they look good , if you ask me this show is boring in fact as someone we know always says this show is a yawning burger with a side of snoring it's not janice you don't like it because the pta chose my

idea

for an all

school

field trip it's not your

magic

show at least one

magic

show has some surprises great fantastic boring it's more like boring you got it phoebe as in ho-hum now i could do something magical with the light something that would knock your socks off go ahead then janet do something magical with the light right now i i can't um not here why not because because of the ghost what's up there's a ghost in this theater and when the lights go down and it's dark the ghost comes looking for you it's good try janet but there are no ghosts here or in nowhere ghosts don't don't exist now you've done it i can't believe you say ghosts don't exist the ghost hates when people say it exists they do and something terrible happens to someone here it's all your fault i'm with you ralphie i am glad be here where there is light.

Me too, even if ghosts don't exist. I do not like. away with janet she's not here either maybe the ghost made him come quiche you know there's no such thing as ghosts yeah relax someone said relax miss fizzle how do you do that now that the show is over it's time to make a way home? all present and counted no miss rizzle we have lost arnold nothing is lost until he can't be found he might be at the theater we can't go back there it's dark rafi as my great aunt alva always said when she faced the darkness find some light, arnold here we go look sorry is it just me or do we need a light in here ralphie's right we won't find arnold if there is no light to see him and there is no light without a source phoebe he has to. they're coming from somewhere that's better but there's still not enough light to find arnold miss fizzle and her aunt alva's brother uncle edison used to say there's no sight without light there's a light source to help us see on stage what weird light it's called a ghost turns on a ghost light according to my research oh wait i need more light that's better according to my research the last person out of the theater always turns on the ghost light and that's to keep the ghost away jenna must have been right about it's haunted here i vote we're waiting for arnold on the bus, but what if something happened to him?

I mean this place is huge, it could be anywhere, hey, where are you, come on guys, let's look around, maybe he can't hear us, what's that, sorry. it was just me i couldn't see you in the dark i don't like it here could we please get back on the bus? dont worry ralphie nothing is going to happen to us what happened whats happening i cant believe it the ghost got arnold just like tayden said yeah just like janet said arnold is gone again sweet light mysteries now i know You see, no, no, that's right, without light, we can't see things and they disappear. um would you mind putting the earrings back on miss frizzle thank you oh don't mention it keisha now let's get the facts last time we saw arnold he was with janet good and janet was mad because Didn't we go to a magic? show because she likes magic at the time this all has to be a magic trick created by janet just to scare us good good what sounds reasonable to me sounds reasonable but how it looks dark we need more light so we can see in all these dark corners a twinkle hint keisha up down liz whats going up let's go up in the air done better wow that bus is

bright

that's so much

bright

er miss frizzle but we still need to get more light in all the dark corners janet could be in any place ok thinking keisha more lights to make it ok do it liz by any chance you want us to go in there ok if you want to brighten up the night you have to be light you mean if i jump in there i will become light but what am i going to do?

Where I am going to? the bulb like a shot traveled all the way here, but you're not here right now, are you? When i hit miss frizzle i stopped being light i was so cool omg at my old

school

we never became light but it was so fast. I was only light for a second less than a millionth of a second actually we can be like two dazzle me i get it that means yeah that went fast straight into a monster's mouth i guess light doesn't bend around things do you mind if It wasn't because of that wall I hit, I would have followed our turn, come on, I always knew I was right, hey, even though we shot out of the same sores, we went in different directions and ended up all over the place.

Very illuminating class light. from light bulbs to flash bulbs or candles it all does the same thing it travels in a straight line away from what it does meanwhile while we've been shining examples of light the ghost has been doing who knows what to arnold what What we need is a way to point the light in one direction and get it into those dark corners up there so we can find it, but how about trying this target is the name of the game? show them how it's done. and it lit up that dark corner before it was no light, oh no, not again, look at this, oh, it's an old footlight, I used to see a lot of these in my days as a Shakespearean actress. the candle keeps the light from spreading, it bounces the light and points it in one direction, just like the mirror did with liz, hey if we could do the same thing with that light bulb on the bus, yeah since curved things and bright can bounce light in one direction, so how about this?

Carlos, you found the footlight accessory equipped, I could have sworn it would line it up to cousin newton a bit more. d.a and where is tim and where is liz where are we i don't know i can't see anything hold it this ghost looks familiar liz a flashlight way to go liz gee thank you wow look at all this cool stuff we must be in the basement what is that oh it's just the shadow of this tree light travels in straight lines and can't go around things so when i shine a light on the tree the light bounces off and doesn't hit the wall behind the trees and when the light hits something else and that's it? the light bounces off liz and doesn't hit the wall so there's a shadow look yeah i see now let's jump out of here arnold dammit they ain't here either miss russell we've searched everywhere but we haven't found anything maybe the ghost has them i tell you phoebe there's no ghost oh yeah so what's that there's nothing left of arnold ghost but his ghost glasses wait a minute miss frizzle we could have a little more light up there we'll throw some light on that no problem that's weird when the light shines on arnold's glasses they get brighter and clearer that's weird ghosts are supposed to go away when you turn on the lights they don't get clear aha the light shows it real things get brighter bright when there's more light on them this is a trick what happened don't worry we just need a new bulb well i always carry a spare tim look someone else is down here quick turn off your flashlight so he can't see us oh no he turned off too his light I'm turning mine back on he's doing everything you're doing it's us you're right it's just a mirror bouncing our own light back at us what was that please find a way get out of here come on arnold's ghost is back bigger and better than ever but that doesn't mean it's a ghost and it doesn't mean it's where it seems to be but we can see it it's all lit up that's right Phoebe but consider the source, that is what is illuminated. up because there is a light source up there, but why can we see through it? light follow the light and take a course back to the source ready when you are keisha ready here i have such bright students i was right it wasn't arnold's ghost it was arnold's reflection i knew now hop on one foot again c'mon janet i did it all what you told me to do i hope this is the last time janet this is how janet does it she shines a light on arnold the light bounces off arnold then bounces back off the piece of glass and to where we were looking so we could see the reflection of arnold and what's behind the glass that's why he looked like a ghost nice trick janet but you can't treat arnold like that cousin or not cousin guess where we were under the stage we found a flashlight at least the ghost i found no sign of arnold where is keisha are you really scared who needs to pretend miss frizzle quick you have to get out of here now whatever you say keisha come on the bus do your thing we can go now arnold is it safe are you sure the ghost will leave me alone now i'm sure but you have to promise that you will never ever tell anyone how you kept the ghost away why shouldn't everyone know how to keep a ghost away?

Yes, but just don't tell anyone. i'm starting to wonder if there really was a ghost arnold of course there was a ghost i'd lie to you about something like that hmm i thought you were done janet who turned out the lights probably just the ghost but don't worry i can handle it good night ghosts see you sometime get a hold of the truth about what oh nothing this is just a trick and tricks to you janet listen i don't know who you are but you can't fool me there are no ghosts sorry arnold arnold where are you now the go's out you're next, yeah the ghost haunts me why janet we been looking everywhere for you? the ghost what a ghost arnold come on janet everyone knows ghosts don't exist i was just kidding about it earlier but i just saw one with my own eyes it was white and horrible and it looked like yes keisha you you tricked me you should talk janet you tricked me first so we used your own trick to trick you and we wanted to show you what we learned about light thanks to you we found out how it really works take a bow janet you provided a light great entertainment yeah the lights are great it not only travels in a straight line but that you can also bounce so you can make it go right where you want it and you can even use it to make someone appear to be where they're not right does this mean you think i'm brighter than all of you lets put it this way janet with you there's never dull moment come on cuz let's go home like i always say it's not how bright you are that makes you shine but if you know about light you can be pretty flashy alright liz we should get some criticism enthusiasts for that magic school bus show here the producer talks hello i just watched your show in the light and i have some comments it was dazzling wasn't it yeah but i have never seen a ray of light travel from one place to another of the way we saw children move when they were lights.

You're right. The light moves so fast that it is not noticeable. so we slowed the kids down when they got light so we could see what it does when it moves that makes sense bye well that wasn't too bad liz liz liz what are you doing hello magic school bus where did janet get that awesomeness? trick he did with the light ah its an old magician trick called pepper ghost you can do it yourself you know i can how first you take a cardboard box and paint the inside black then you make a medium size window in one side of the box so you can see inside, then make a plastic window or stretch plastic wrap over a cardboard window frame so it can fit into the tilted box take your ghost object place it on the bottom of the box and then close the box now poke another hole in the box so that the light from a flashlight shines on your ghost item without illuminating the back of the box turn on the light you will see a reflection of your item in the plastic causing a ghost to appear in the back of the box turns off the light and your handsome ghost disappears cause there's no light for the reflection but remember the better the ghost looks the better the trick then i think i'll make my ghost look like liz you do that magix come in and no don't be shy just to make your day complete come on
