Topic: Water.
Loosely based on "At the Waterworks"

Aired: 12 November 1995.
The class is excited about going to Waterland. Wanda and Arnold are working on a project together and somehow Wanda convinces him to go to the girls' bathroom with her to get water. He accidentally leaves Ms. Frizzle's keys and Liz in the bathroom, and forgets to turn the water off. When they leave to go to Waterland, Ms. Frizzle instead uses a spare key which turns her, the class and the bus into water.
This is a reason Wanda shouldn't have brought Arnold into the girls' bathroom, and this was why Arnold was worried. He feared Tiffany would catch him, and she did.
How does Ms. Frizzle do this?! She surfs in wearing bare feet, but as she undresses herself out of that surfer outfit, she's wearing high heels.
This is more proof that Ms. Frizzle is magic. She immediately dressed like one of the people who serve as the Queen's Guards.
Here's more proof that Arnold's the chick magnet. Here, he's holding Tiffany's hand, then he lets go and she blushed. This is proof that Wanda and Phoebe aren't the only ones who have a thing for Arnold. Tiffany also kind of likes him. Also, Arnold has a thing for any random girl whenever he's not in his love-hate relationship with Wanda.
Looks like Liz's tail is really badly damaged in the episode, judging by the bandage on her tail.
Hearing Arnold say that he "should've stayed home today" throughout this episode, first when Tiffany runs out of the girls' toilet after catching Arnold, he says "Maybe I should've stayed home today.", when Tim tells him it's time for his report, he says "Yikes! I knew I should've stayed home today!" and again when he evaporated a 3rd time, makes me wonder, does he have agoraphobia?
This episode also shows that whenever Arnold isn't in his love-hate relationship with Wanda or isn't doing anything with Phoebe, he kind of has a thing for other girls, in this case Tiffany.
This is an episode that shows Liz as a damsel-in-distress. She tries everything to remove the water from the girls' bathroom to the point of jamming her tail into the running tap, or, since this is a North American series, faucet.
And believe it or not, they travel out of the USA in this episode. They land in South America, judging by the Golden Lion Tamarin, and later land in London judging by the Big Ben and Ms. Frizzle's outfit.
Also, this shows that not only does Ralphie practice sports after school, but Keesha has dance lessons after school.
What's also interesting about this episode is that it's loosely based on the book that started the entire franchise, The Magic School Bus at the Waterworks.
This was an interesting way to learn about how we get the water we drink. They land in the waterworks, they end up in the reservoir, the mixing basin where the alum cleans it, and the alum lands on the bottom. And Arnold's crush on Tiffany was interesting. Further proves he's the chick magnet of the series. And Arnold forgetting the keys all because of Tiffany running out of the bathroom and Tim rushing him when it was time to do the report sure drove the plot. Overall, it was still a good way to learn about water and how we get the water we drink. Interesting to see the whole class, the teacher and the main character turn into vapour, then clouds, and then into rain. And good to hear the Producer mention Kicks Up a Storm in the end when the caller mentioned why the kids didn't turn into snow.
"Yawn burger with a side of snores."
I take it Wanda doesn't like Arnold's model of the waterworks, just a model of a real structure.
"More than 2 inches in the last hour!"
"According to my research, that's a school record for rainfall!"
Dorothy Ann sure knows her stuff, even when it comes to records, as she sees in hers and Tim's rain gauge.
"Ralphie! Is it just you, or are we all floating into the air?"
Well, we hear someone use a variant of Ralphie's catchphrase, in this case Wanda.
"Duck!"
There really were ducks flying in the opposite direction!
"Hey! A Frizzle Drizzle! Ha ha!"
Turning the class into water didn't stop Carlos from making a pun, did it?
Judging by the monkey, this must be South America.
"I knew I should've stayed home today."
Arnold sure said this catchphrase of his a lot in this episode.
Oh boy. Liz is stuck! She just stuck her tail into the tap. Now she can't get out.
"According to Arnold's research, a reservoir is where the water we drink is collected."
Interesting to hear Dorothy Ann use a variant of her catchphrase, in this case, Arnold's research.
This was a smart, yet painful idea. Wanda bite Liz's tail to get her out of the tap.
Looks like Tiffany saved the day, even if she isn't in Ms. Frizzle's class, by opening the flooded door.
