Magic School Bus
Animated science series
The Magic School Bus is a children's media franchise featuring an eccentric teacher, Ms.
Frizzle, who takes her class on fantastical field trips in a shape-shifting school bus.
The bus shrinks to explore the human body, travels through space, or transforms to suit any scientific lesson.
The phrase evokes zany educational adventures: This documentary is giving Magic School Bus vibes.
To say someone is on the Magic School Bus suggests they're learning through wild, hands-on experience.
