The Magic School Bus Cells episode is a fun and educational way for children to learn about cells. In this episode, Ms. Frizzle and her class embark on a field trip inside Arnold's body to explore the various types of cells and how they work. Throughout the episode, the students learn about different types of cells, such as muscle cells, blood cells, and nerve cells. They also learn about the important functions that cells perform, such as transporting oxygen and nutrients, fighting off infections, and sending signals. One of the main ideas highlighted in this episode is the concept of the cell as the basic unit of life.
One of the main ideas highlighted in this episode is the concept of the cell as the basic unit of life. The students learn that all living organisms, from plants to animals, are made up of cells.

This is the product we carry that will help to lower your pH. We have a similar product from Jonathan Green that will raise pH. Be sure you get the right one - this product, purple bag, LOWERS the pH of your soil with continued use. We cannot do exchanges if you get the wrong one so be sure you know that this listing here, PURPLE bag, lowers the pH of lawn soils. Please look at the photos in this listing to be sure.
Jonathan Green Mag-I-Cal® Plus for Lawns in Alkaline & Hard Soil contains sulfur and calcium sulfate dihydrate which lowers soil pH, is important to cell development and is vital to many grass plant functions. Poor soil that is hard and compacted is often the problem when it comes to growing a great lawn.
When soil is too alkaline and compacted, air, water and nutrients cannot get down to the roots, and the grass will not grow properly. Lawns thrive in slightly acidic to neutral soil with pH levels between 6.2 and 7.0. In soils with pH readings of 7.0 to 9.5, weeds thrive and grass becomes light green and spindly. Additionally, Mag-I-Cal® Plus helps to break up clay and compacted soils. This improves root penetration and promotes growth by increasing biological activity and releasing nutrients trapped in the soil.

Reviews for "The Magic School Bus Explores the Diversity of Cells"
1. Sarah - 2 stars - I was really excited to watch "Magic School Bus Cells" as I remember loving the original show as a kid. However, I was overall disappointed with this episode. The animation was lackluster and felt dated compared to other modern children's shows. Additionally, I found the plot to be confusing and rushed. It didn't provide enough educational information about cells and left me feeling unsatisfied. I think they could have done a much better job with this topic.
