Frizzle shrinks The Magic School Bus in size to turn to page 97, which shows the picture of the baseball diamond. Ralphie soon remembers that he had dropped the book on the ground back at the baseball field at the park and Ms. Dorothy Ann, however, is less than thrilled about this and decides to go to the baseball diamond, like the one she showed Ralphie on page 97 in her book of physics. The field trip is to a baseball game, much to the students' delight. Just then, The Magic School Bus arrives and gives the students a ride for a field trip. Ralphie asks Dorothy Ann if he could borrow the book, to which Dorothy Ann agrees, telling him to promise to take good care of it. Dorothy Ann then shows him a page of the baseball field and tells him that it would be impossible to play normal baseball there. But when Ralphie rubs his bat against the dirt, he changes his mind and gains interest in the book. The students, however, are more than apathetic of this and continue their game. ![]() The sled would continue to move until something stops it, such as dirt, thus creating friction, which slows down and stops every motion on earth. Dorothy Ann then uses an analogy and tells them to picture a big, red sled in a snow that is stationary until someone hops onto it and Napoleon (as Arnold states since he needs to know who pushes the sled to refresh his memory) gives it a push to elicit its motion, thus creating a force. ![]() During the conversation, the students continue to mock Dorothy Ann's affinity for physics, telling her that if she's going to "force" them to listen, she's being kind of "pushy". Frizzle overhears the students' conversation and decides to implement a field trip. But Dorothy Ann explains that the book is about what makes things move and what makes them stop: forces frictions, pushes, and pulls. Ralphie attempts to shoo Dorothy Ann off the field. As Liz runs into the classroom's window, Dorothy Ann tells the other students about her book and the others scoff at this. But the game is interrupted by Dorothy Ann, who shows them a book of physics. Wanda is on the pitcher's mound and pitches the ball to Ralphie. He is next to bat at the batting cage at the park with the other students and notices that there is no home plate, for the students are pretending. Just then, Keesha's voice is heard, and Ralphie is revealed to have fantasized the whole scenario. 2.1 DVD (NTSC TV standard, DVD region 1)Īt the local baseball stadium, Ralphie is seen batting and the audience cheering him on from the bleachers.Ralphie even has trouble explaining himself though he says he wasn't going to destroy it.

Be Careful What You Wish For: Dorothy Ann mentions wanting to go to the baseball field in her book, where there's no friction.Baseball Episode: Though the lack of friction makes playing the game difficult.Frizzle gets an idea for her next field trip. When Dorothy Ann wants to show everyone a book on friction, which includes a page of a baseball diamond without friction, Ms. Ralphie wants to play baseball, but the home plate is missing. ![]()
