Magic School Bus Explores the World of Animals is a 2002 educational game developed by KnowWonder and published by Microsoft Game Studios.
The Magic School Bus is the basis for a multimedia project for children headed by Scholastic. The Magic School Bus characters and stories appear in television shows, books, board games, and CD-ROM computer games, always with a lesson to be learned and an emphasis on fun and understanding. In the show and games, magic is used to demonstrate science and technology. Often, schoolmates Arnold, Phoebe, Carlos, Mikey, Wanda, and the other kids in Ms. Frizzle's class are shrunk or transformed, to help them see everyday science from a whole new perspective. Of course, having a Magic School Bus to take the class to all sorts of fantastic places helps to keep the learning fresh and interesting.
In this episode, the animals have all been released from the Wild Animal Park. Unfortunately, they've been released into the wrong habitats. It's up to Ms. Frizzle and her class to help get all of the animals back to where they belong. Players will have to investigate tracks, sounds, and other evidence to discover which animals are living in which areas. The Magic School Bus will visit seven locations in all, including the Arctic, an African savanna, the Himalayan Mountains, and a swamp in North America. Players can manipulate seven experiments and 14 different games and activities help to make the learning fun. Eight multimedia reports help reinforce new concepts.
