Children are simply supposed to hop on the bus with Ms. Frizzle and the gang to explore the infamous Red Planet. Once there, kids find several experiments to conduct, a couple of Mars-themed arcade games and puzzles plus a host of Mars facts, photos and animations. These information tidbits are served up by Arnold, Dorothy Ann and the rest of the characters. <p><ul> <li><font face=verdana,arial,helvetica size=-1>Learn cool facts about Mars, Earth, and the Solar System</font></li><li><font face=verdana,arial,helvetica size=-1>Build critical-thinking skills</font></li><li><font face=verdana,arial,helvetica size=-1>Create and print your own postcards</font></li><li><font face=verdana,arial,helvetica size=-1>Guide the Mars Polar Lander spacecraft to the surface of Mars</font></li><li><font face=verdana,arial,helvetica size=-1>Join Ms. Frizzle, D.A., Arnold, Wanda, and Tim from Scholastic's hit TV show and popular book series</font></li> <br> </ul> <p>Once the Magic School Bus settles, kids can play inside or venture onto the surface of Mars. Both areas are cluttered with gizmos that yield either a game, an experiment, or a compelling fact. (Did you know that Mars's moons are named for the Greek words meaning fear and panic? We didn't.) There's a lot to learn here: kids can put objects like watermelons and marshmallows into the Pressure-O-Meter to see what happens to them in the atmosphere, or try to land a module on Mars while coping with fuel loss and Martian gravity. There's even a rover-building station that hones deductive skills as kids decide whether a solar panel or a battery will work best to power their vehicle during the Martian night. <p>Attention to detail is what launches Magic School Bus Lands on Mars into the rarefied atmosphere of educational CD-ROMs that entertain as well as they teach; new players can enter how old they are on Earth and learn their Martian age, then later play Mind over Mars, a robot-hosted game show that dishes up tough Mars-related trivia questions and--better yet--elaborates on the answers. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00004THP0/ref=nosim/sybersavingscom">Magic School Bus Lands on Mars CD-ROM software - click here</a> for CD-ROM software pricing and ordering info!<br><br> NOTE: You'll find many other <a target="_new" href="index.htm">educational software titles</a> available at <a target="_top" href="index.htm">SyberSavings.com</a>, such as:<br><br> <ul> <li><a target="_new" href="readingblaster.htm">Reading Blaster</a> <li><a target="_new" href="mathblaster.htm">Math Blaster</a> <li><a target="_new" href="readerrabbit.htm">Reader Rabbit</a> <li><a target="_new" href="sesamestreet.htm">Sesame Street</a> <li><a target="_new" href="drseuss.htm">Dr. Seuss</a> <li><a target="_new" href="magicschoolbus.htm">More Magic School Bus</a> such as: <ul> <li><a target="_new" href="ocean.htm">Magic School Bus Explores The Ocean</a> <li><a target="_new" href="animals.htm">Magic School Bus Explores The World of Animals</a></ul> <li><a target="_new" href="encyclopedias.htm">Encyclopedias</a> <li><a target="_new" href="jumpstart2.htm">Jumpstart</a></ul><br> <center><b>Thanks, and remember <a target="_top" href="index.htm">SyberSavings.com</a> for all your <a target="_new" href="index.htm">educational software</a> needs! </body>
