- Опубликовано: 22 окт 2024
- From galactic space misadventures to exploring the human body, The Magic School Bus will always be one of the most beloved educational cartoons from the 90s. But now that we're a little bit older and a whole lot wiser, some of the lessons we learned from this PBS classic seem incredibly illogical and almost downright wrong. So take a ride on the Magic School Bus and find out the top 10 lessons that Miss Frizzle got wrong.

Translation of Ms. Frizzle's motto:
"Take chances,..." = Give everything at least a try.
"...make mistakes,..." = Learn from what doesn't work.
"...get messy!" = Be hands on and get real experience.
That's a beautiful message. I don't see what's wrong with it.
+LEDN42
By that motto, should I mix ammonia and bleach to see what happens, without any safety precautions?
If I do that, I know it will make poisonous Chlorine gas, that will be deadly. But if I didn't know that, I'd be taking chances, making mistakes, and getting messy. Obviously, there needs to be some standard of safety to avoid too dangerous of mistakes.
+carultch there's a difference between following Ms. Frizzle's motto and being stupid
+carultch Well someone had to mix those two in the first place to know it would create Chlorine gas. If that person hadn't took the chances, made mistakes, and got messy then you and many others wouldn't know about it and a lot of people would have died trying to know.
+LEDN42 They weren't being scientists. Ms. Frizzle already knew the answers. She just wanted them to see things first hand.
Yeah, I feel that half of these lessons are just deliberately misunderstood and taken out of context. Complaining that a kids show doesn't accurately depict quantum principles doesn't really have a point, this show sparked interest in science for kids, that's kind of worth more than any number of elssons in scientific rigor.
Some of these aren't really the series' fault... it's the fact that scientists discovered new data since the books were written and the show created in light of those...but fair point for a lot of these, lol.
+Kitakaze Lynn Ya I think he mentioned that. But number 1 was established at the time of the show.
Yeah.
+Kitakaze Lynn Most of them are either what you said, or slight simplifications for the sake of clarity in a short kids show episode. Like the nitpick about the light episode was ridiculous. I think this guy was only right about a few of these points.
"Take chances, Get messy, make mistakes" is how you learn, not part of the scientific method. It stimulates your brain and provides lots of learning opportunity.
That's what she said.
#SorryNotSorry
+Roscoe Kane Actually, that is pretty close to how most cutting edge science works. Very rarely, if ever, does a research go "I think this is going to happen so I'm going to test it". More often than not it's "Hum, I wonder what happens if I do this thing".
+Roscoe Kane also it's specifically part of the scientific method. If scientists never toook chances we would never learn anything new. Period.
+Samperdog Agreed. Most of science is trial and error. If no one took chances, made mistakes, and got messy, we wouldn't have many of the scientific advances that many of us take for granted today. The truth is most of the time, even highly educated scientists with plenty of experience aren't going to know what's going to happen in an experiment if they are trying something new. In order for progress to be made, we often have to venture out into uncharted territory and 'take chances' (with all the necessary precautions we can get of course). So I would say that that is a quite true and valuable lesson for our future scientists. I'll keep that one. :)
+Samperdog Isaac Asimov once said:
The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not 'Eureka!', but 'That's funny ...'
#7: Aw, come on, that's not fair. Pluto was still classified as a planet back then.
He even addressed that bud
+alysdexia That must be one hell of a gigantic Comer huh? (that's sarcasm)
technecly its a dwarfplanet
yeah they changed it back a while ago it is still considered a planet
They changed it back so technically it is a planet again
So it was you... That kid who was calling the producer at the end of every episode. We meet again...
OMFG
+Tim Jablonski was it actually you
+Poke Hello, Is this the Magic School Bus
+RANKED
No, this is Patrick
+- CasteliaConeCreeper - is this McDonalds?
ok to be fair, that saying "take chances, make mistakes, and get messy" was probably a lesson relating to life in general rather than specifically to scientific research. it's actually a really good aesop this way; saying that it's good to get out of your comfort zone and explore the world around you
+Kyle Towers
Exactly. And the show was targeted toward young children (which is when I watched it.) It suffers from oversimplification; not being inaccurate. The whole point of the books and show was to explain relatively complex science to elementary school-aged students.
I don't remember the person who said it, but they said that education is a series of lies. When you're young you are told certain lies (that are basically true) and the facts are slowly revealed as you age. When you're being taught basic arithmetic, you aren't told the nuances of calculus. It comes with time.
And pretty much everyone who uses introverted Sensing anywhere in their cognitive function stack is going to cry foul to that. Extroverted Sensing and introverted Sensing tend to be at odds on the whole idea of popping up and diving in without at least looking first to see what you're leaping into. And the Friz uses extroverted Sensing as her dominant cognitive function. She probably came up with that motto when she was a preteen. And just as likely caused a lot of problems when she was a kid, albeit without any actual rebellious intent, unlike many other Se-doms.
+Jeremiah Langley i remember when i was first learning addition and subtraction and i asked my teacher if there was such a thing as negative numbers, she told me no. imagine my surprise when i hit the higher grades.
+shunkaha Don't you just hare when that happens?
+Atomic Robo Tesla *hate
All this nitpicking from someone who's not a scientist.
+Jmagnum8989 Scientists usually critique other scientists, not children's shows.
+Drew Henry - true
+Jmagnum8989
So I'm guessing you need to be a chef to say that food is terrible?
Alright. Come by my place - I'll whip you up a plate full of nearly uncooked ingredients, and I don't want you to bitch or complain about my food since you're not a chef c:
(It's as dumb as saying _"Well you make a better _*__*_"_ - No. You don't need to have the ability to make said *thing* better, to state you know what the fuck you're talking about x3
+masterkevkev If you need to properly critique food, you do need to be experienced in the field, either as a chef or as a foodie.
John Christian So come by and let me feed you uncooked fish. No, you cannot complain nor point out things that could be wrong with it since you're not experienced in the field Mr.YouRequireExperience. c:
And afterwards, I'll give you an alcoholic beverage. Where nearly 85% of it is alcohol. Don't point out anything wrong with that either - You're not a scientist :3
(Do you see how fucking stupid it is to claim someone needs "experience" to point out things that are wrong? ... I hope you understood that before reading this final paragraph =-=')
This guy must be really fun at parties.
Someone there: Hey have you seen the new epis......
Tim: Hey wanna know 10 things the magic schoolbus got wrong.
Someone there: Who the heck are you?
Tim: Sorry I'm lonely
+Unsolved CubeYT You made my joke so much better XD
+Hihams lol I just realized your profile picture is ham xD I thought it was a fish.
+Xeema Singha you're prolly not the best at parties either
Rekt XD
I think some of these points were a bit weak...
#7: Pluto was a planet at the time; our definition of "planet" has been revised since then. To say that this fact is "wrong" is being a bit harsh, especially when the debate has been brought back, and there's talk of reinstating Pluto's planet status. I think that this should be knocked down to #10, if kept on this list at all.
#3: I'm pretty sure he was speaking generally, and in reference to wild animals. As long as you're not too literal-minded about this, the guy from the cartoon brings up a good point: animals aren't (from a purely scientific standpoint, mind you) "good" or "bad" - they're just parts of an ecosystem. They can be dangerous, but not out of malice; only because they're programmed by nature to hunt or protect themselves.
#1: Edison once stated that, in his experiments to create the light bulb, he had not failed 10,000 times; he merely discovered 10,000 ways to NOT create the light bulb. I think that's what Frizzle was trying to say; sometimes when you experiment, you need to come up with a hypothesis, test it, and not flip out if your hypothesis was incorrect. Science and discovery are DEPENDENT upon making mistakes.
+TheHeroesOfCRASH
Completely agree. Though I would go a different route with 1. If you consider the target audience for the show, I think this is a great lesson to be teaching them. It's a life lesson not a scientific one, and It's one of the most important things you could ever learn in order to be successful regardless of the field you choose to go into.
+TheHeroesOfCRASH I definitely believed your #1 point. Hell, the "Shows and Tells" episode is all about hypothesis.
It is just a RUclips video no reason to try to correct it like that
+TheHeroesOfCRASH I'm going to agree with you on #7 cause in a way it did but its not a full blown planet its classified as a "Dwarf Planet"
+TheHeroesOfCRASH He specifically addresses the fact that at the time it was a planet but if you're watching the show now it's giving you incorrect out of date information. Also Edison was a hack who stole his inventions, who gives a shit what he said.
Well. Your never 6 miles away from McDonald. Kek
Unless you are in Africa. Or the rainforest.
+CraftinLilElephant or the North or South Pole
+CraftinLilElephant THE rainforest? Since when was there ever one? how long has it been since I've read the news... or left my bedroom besides nabbing dinner or taking a shit/piss/both.
According to my map of Seattle, you're never more than three blocks from a Starbucks.
+ben dover What if you're on Pluto?
I dont think these facts on magic school bus are "wrong" its just over simplified, you cant exactly teach elementary school students wind resistance, plasma, or bonding hormones .
+Onex198 Some of them are entirely wrong though, not over simplified.
+SomeCartoonChick I just rewatched the entire video again and only found the spider one being the only one that is entirely wrong.
+SomeCartoonChick Frankly, Ms. Frizzle should have taught about the wavelengths, I even have a lesson a third grader could learn
Alright class, today we're learning about colors. (introductory jargon, segue into this) Well, did you know that your eye can only see three colors? (children are outraged) Yes. Your eye only sees the colors red, green and blue. (child raises his/her hand and asks something along the line of "Oh yeah, teacher? Well how come I can see [color]?") Because your brain says so. When your brain sees the color, let's say, brown, its actually seeing a mixture of red green and blue (not 100% scientifically accurate but they're kids sooooooooo) and then the brain takes the mixture and says "Ok, this is brown" (the whole classroom has their minds blown into orbit by now) And class, what do you think uses that to it's advantage that you see in your daily life? (class tries to answer, if they fail a lot just say it, otherwise use the answer to segue) [word limit]
+Sammy [Thats right!] computers use this little trick to display color. (show a blank color on an electronic of some sort) what color is this (the students answer whatever they answer, then you show them a pixel, but really zoomed in, ie red green and blue lights.) This is that color, but zoomed in all the way. Next, get some "experiments" going. Get children into a few groups, give each a pencil and a wheel with the colors green and red on them and a hole in the center. Tell them to put the pencil in the hole and spin the wheel like a top. (when they finally succeed their minds will turn the area into the ground zero of an atomic bomb drop, because it will be yellow
Then you can do you conclusion jargon, then you've taught children about color perception without going into any quantum physics. And my god was that hard to type
+Sammy geez and red green blue I thought it is red yellow blue
The last one is stupid. Kids are always taking chances, making mistakes and getting messy. That's kind of how learning works. If it didn't...everyone would already know how everything was going to unfold. You just took it to an extreme.
TEC1
Agreed. I see it as more of a "Stay curious" kind of saying.
So true. Also, even for adult scientists, a lot of discoveries or leads to discoveries start with mistakes. Confirming an observation or discovery is what requires consistent methods.
Very true
I am a musuem educator in a stem center. I say this to kids all the time! It gets them excited to learn and gets me pumped!
If there's a sailor Pluto, it's still a planet in my heart 💜
+Xmus Jaxon Flaxon-Waxon III Well being a very small individual I resent that remark XD but still I agree pluto Is not a planet..........Sadly
They found a moon so it is a planet again
+Sammie Sawyer There's a sailor moon, even though the moon isn't a planet, so why can't there be a sailor pluto without pluto having to be a planet?
+Zachary Lovell Would do you mean they found a moon? Pluto has 5 moons and they have been known about for quite some time. If you can give me a link to NASA's official statement on this, that would be greatly appreciated.
If there's a girl as pretty as you she's still in my heart. Ohh smooth not so smooth youtube comments.
You just watched a video of a guy nitpick at the science of a kid's cartoon that has a flying school bus....
That's hilarious
Good Point
Joke's on you, I couldn't stand the questionable choices and pedantry and quit half-way
ITS CALLED THE MAGIC SCHOOL BUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey one question, I thought Pluto got it's title of planet back?
Did anyone else notice that Arnold survived breathing on Pluto?
"magic" school bus
i assume that has something to do with it
yeah and also if you didnt have a space suit on in space you wouldnt freeze you would over heat
Manduck Studios ya
Your blood would boil, but you wouldn't heat up.
Yeah, but he froze!
If you don't make mistakes then you won't learn anything
Right!!
you have too mistakes
Not necessarily. Some people are just good from the starting gate. I never got a math question wrong because I paid attention to what was supposed to happen. That being said, I know what you're saying. Just playing devil's advocate ^_^
Meh, she still helped me pass science ;)
Lol
Ikr
Same.
with liquor and drugs
LOL XD
The Magic School Bus, aka the extended adventures of River Song
This made me very happy
YES
Oh my god yes.
+900flyingmuffins You are my hero!
man, I was trying soo hard not to make that reference and here you are taking chances, making mistakes and getting messy, obviously I should have listened to Ms. Frizzle
I'M STILL HOLDING ON.
PLUTO IS STILL A PLANET IN OUR HEARTS
Dani pluto is also my love-life...😢😤
MrReaperofDead Your love life is a dwarf planet?
OHANA MEANS FAMILY AND FAMILY MEANS NOBODY GETS LEFT BEHIND
Dani YUS NO ONE (Planets) GETS LEFT BEHIND
Dani HE IS STILL A PLANET (a dwarf planet)
>Pluto is not a planet
RIP Sailor Pluto
Sailor Pluto was in like 2 episodes so
But I read all 12 volumes of the manga, and a few episodes of the anime.
She was *way* more significant.
Pluto is now a ''dwarf '' planet.... not full size, but still a planet. She still possesses Planet Powers as a Sailor Guardian ;)... for me, she is still part of the team!!
Same thing with Pluto from Roman Gods. R.I.P THE GOD OF FREAKING DEATH!!!
Luca Colucci Dwarf planet doesn't mean smaller planet, though.
In Frizz's defense, "Take chances, make mistakes, get messy" is, while not a good science lesson, a good life lesson.
It is also actually a good science lesson as well. The video just uses dumb nonsense rhetoric to try to say it's not. Science it's about both experimentation and analysis. "Take chances, make mistakes, get messy" is valuable to the experimentation part. The video tries to argue that science is only the controlled analytical part, which is untrue.
there ARE 9 planets, scientists recently found a planet hiding behind pluto's shadow
+Gabi Murray Not behind Pluto's shadow. Much, much farther away.
yeah i meant we couldn't see it because it was behind pluto :P
Where are your sources?
+Gabi Murray They have not found it, they just have a LOT of data pointing to the idea there must be an object 10 earth masses beyond Pluto; nothing found yet.
+Gabi Murray it wasn't behind Pluto and that's not why they can't see it, they can't see it because its orbit is far beyond what we can see, any research on it is through theoretical calculations although it is being searched for
The Friz is a Time Lady and that bus is a Tardis. Everyone knows this.
Do you mean time lord? Because time lady isn't a thing
Do you mean time lord? Because time lady isn't a thing
+Sean Appel never watched doctor who i'm assuming time lords can only be male then? cause "Lady" is the term you would use for a female "Lord" so if they can be female i dont think his statement would be wrong
Dunno like i said don't know anything about the show
+Twiggymc I've always though "Time Lord" is the race (there can be both male and female time lords, and you can even be born male and become female after a regeneration cycle). You should probably watch it. :P
Twiggymc Timelord is a race, like Tustalio said.
Your analysis of "take chances, make mistakes, get messy" is totally wrong. This message isn't directed at adults it is directed at children. The best way for a child's mind to be as plastic as possible is to allow the child to explore and fail. Neil deGrasse Tyson has advocated getting out of the way and letting kids explore many times.
As for your sodium in water proposal. That is exactly what Thunderf00t (Dr. Phil Mason)did! He asked "but why does it explode" and after lots of mistakes and many explosions he published an answer. The answer isn't at all what people were taught in school.
Your point is only a good one if you assume that a child will never learn and grow. Even adults can benefit form a bit of making mistakes and getting messy. A curious mind is a valuable mind. The mind that never asks "but why" isn't a useful one.
I just wish I could like this x1000. You said everything I wanted to say, only better.
Like that Zootopia song. "Birds don't just fly. They fall down and get up."
Thank you!
I posted a comment very similar to this one where I described the discovery method of science, which is very valuable and allows our understanding to flourish. Instead of the scientific method, the discovery method is when someone simply asks why, then finds out. A very prominent example is the human genome project. No hypotheses... just find the sequence. It has fundamentally changed many aspects of our lives, but it was science without a scientific method. Miss Frizzles message is simply to try and try again and discovery will happen. Heck, Thomas Edison found 1000 ways not to make a lightbulb, right?
But children can still be put in dangerous situations, so the "take chances, make mistakes, get messy" shouldn't be applied in all situations. I think that children should still be allowed to explore and experiment, but still take caution and put safety first. Sorry if I'm over analyzing, I think more specifically than generally.
First three words of definition of plasma: "an ionized gas"
Plasma exhibits different properties to non-ionized gases, hence it being a distinct state of matter, but it's still a gas.
+seigeengine
Defining a plasma as an ionized gas, is like defining a liquid as a melted solid.
They only define it that way, because it is difficult to define a state of matter with which you aren't familiar. Of all the matter phases, it most closely resembles a gas.
carultch Yes, and no.
It's important, first of all, to remember that states of matter are generalized simplifications we make to understand how matter behaves, not absolute descriptions of reality, and they can get incredibly messy, especially as you get further into the details.
Plasmas are definitely distinct from non-ionized gases, but arguing that ionization is the equivalent of melting requires more than you simply saying we're not familiar with it.
I have yet to see any compelling reason to not say there are solids, liquids, non-ionized and ionized gasses, aside from shoehorning new knowledge into an older classification. Not that I'm arguing we should refer to them this way, but rather mostly that it annoys the shit out of me every time I hear someone say something to the tune of "well, actually, it's a plasma, not a gas."

+seigeengine just wanted to see what you did when I wrote that
I still want Miss Frizzle as a teacher
+Nessie The Lochness Monster we second this.

+Nathan Lewis I forth it
I thought Miss Frizzle was hot! THERE! I said it!

What?? that show was still bomb though
It really was :D
+xosandra08 Absolutely!
Also bill bye.
+Thom A *nye
+ChannelFrederator you guys didn't hear the news around august that Pluto has became a planet again but has it own category. Plutoids meaning mini planets . By this they have found more planets in are system now we have 13 planets in are system. Please do your research before saying meaningless things. The other planets are MakeMake, Eris, and Haumas. Eris is the last planet in are system.
I don't think it's wrong, it's outdated ...
AgentDuck I agree with you
Gyhhhhym
Yes it is wrong now, But at the time everyone thought these facts were right.
it was great for the time. and who tf remembers what she show said anyway. I was half asleep everytime I watched this
So, from the Pluto episode you chose to go with "Pluto isn't a planet anymore, even though that was accurate at the time" and NOT when Arnold takes off his helmet in space and only gets a head cold?!?!?!?
+spiritstrife I KNEW That wasn't just a dream I had! That really happened. Yeah, I'm surprised nothing was said about that.
+spiritstrife hahahaha this is amazing! I'm sure there are tons of examples that the Magic School Bus got wrong.
That scared me as a kid
+Tim Jablonski True, but I still think it's the bigger take away in that episode :)
They address that in the end of the episode when the producer is talking to someone on the phone.
Red and Blue light do not make purple, they make magenta light. #ff00ff (255 red, 0 green, 255 blue)
+Israel Grogin You, I like you!
+Pikachu 13w In the video he says that objects appear to be a color because they are reflecting other colors of light. Then he goes on to say that your computer works the same way. Computers work on the RGB color system.
+Israel Grogin 5:23
+Israel Grogin Actually, this assumes that the levels of red and blue light are exactly equal. A computer can emulate this no problem, since the values for red and blue are easy to display. In nature, however, it's far more difficult for living creatures to produce equal levels of blue and red pigments. They evolved to display more of one color than they other. It's why red onions have a red violet tint, and why eggplants seem more blue violet. Technically, anything displaying blue and red simultaneously can be pretty much any tint or shade of pink, magenta, lavender, violet, and purple.
Madeline Spencer Since blue has a quicker wave length, so you will get a darker shade of purple, lavender, and magenta. But if you are wanting to get scientific, then it is none of those coulo(u)rs. Our eyes have colo(u)r refracters the shape of cones, so because of the angle and the simotanious transfers of which colo(u)r is which, our brain registers it as the colo(u)r it is NOT. It reflects it because it can't reflect all 32,000 other colo(u)rs at once.
NASA's actually reconsidering calling Pluto a planet again because it has moons
+James Carrillo But NASA doesn't decide those sort of things. The IAU does.
Daniel P Objection. Jupiter and Earth have small objects on their orbits. But those objects are submitted to the gravity of these planets.
+CCDOUBLEO NASA doesn't do that dumbass
if that is true then saturn and Neptune both fail as well. their rings are filled with smaller objects that have not been cleared.
777SilverPhoenix777 They HAVE been cleared. They're trapped in the gravitationnal field of those planets, they're not "free" like the objects in the Kuiper belt (free in quote because they're not free from the Sun)
Pluto is now again a planet, BUT it's a dwarf planet
I really don't care what Pluto is, it's a big ball of material in space, so I can call it a planet.
+Jamesy Boy If only science was that simple...
Aaaah, innocence...
+Mercure250 yeah..
I mean, it was called a planet once, but why did they change it if it was a giant moon all along?
Jamesy Boy Because science isn't the absolute truth and they can make mistakes?
+Mercure250 I guess so. I still like to call it a planet because that's what it was thought to be at some point. I know now that it's not considered one anymore... But hey, who cares. It's a big ball in space
Jamesy Boy Yeah but the IAU decided it wasn't a planet anymore. Like Ceres.
mmmmmm wrong on the last bit, one of the greatest fundements of science is the imperical method, that is, trial and error which in another way of saying means 'take chances, make mistakes, get messy' you 'take a chance' you your hypothosis you 'make mistakes' in the progress of testing it, 'getting messy' [in the case of biological and chemical siences at least] in the process, you then learn from those mistakes, refine your technique, and try again till you get it right...if scientists waited till they had eliminated all risk before attempting something they would be rendered redundent as all risk wouldnt be eliminated till someone had already sucseeded at it...and if someone has already sucseeded then further testing ins pointless, as your hypothosis has already been proven.
+Prysm Kitsune *on your hypothesis [god that's an embarrassing typo...more so cause i reread that 3 or 4 times...]
+Prysm Kitsune thank you captain obvious
+Prysm Kitsune Thanks. You saved me the trouble of making a similar comment.
it's empirical
+Prysm Kitsune That reminds me of a moment in portal 2 co-op. GladOs : "...without the looming consequence of death, is this even science?"
Surprised that you guys didnt mention how when they went to space and Arnold took of helmet and wasnt completely dead, he just got a cold but in reality, he'd have all the air forced from his body and possibly explode from impact. So yeah pretty inaccurate .
+H.C.Brown
They were learning about planets, not why you shouldn't take your helmet off in space, so it's just an inaccurate scene, not a lesson.
No written approval from the parents was the inaccuracy that made me loose my shit.
+H.C.Brown that one is more worthy on being on this list then half of the stuff this guy said
+H.C.Brown Even if he did somehow survive, there's no way he'd get a cold from the experience. Pluto's not exactly known for its pathogen-rich atmosphere.
Honestly, Arnold's scene in this episode is far more of a "wrong lesson" than the fact that Pluto was called a planet. Unlike, say, stars being plasma, this isn't even a case of science advancing, just a case of manmade definitions changing.
Because the "kid" in the And Knowing it is Half the Battle segment pointed that fact out.
U can't say that she got Pluto wrong because at her time it was a planet dude😡
he acknowledged that.
+Frogling He still gave it a number.
Lardian I know
👍
Linking Lizard I like ur profile it's cool
Are we going to ignore when Arnold took his helmet off on Pluto, his whole head froze, and he survived with nothing more than a little cold?
Pluto is officially back to being a planet!! ✌🏾️
WOOH!!
Sorry to rain on your parade, but Pluto is not a planet. The IAU is fully justified in its decision, however. Pluto has neither cleared nor regulated its orbit. Pluto is a dwarf planet, but that does not mean that we cannot still appreciate it.
they said it was back when the episode came out now it is a dwarf planet. there u happy
YES!
+Evan Senderowicz Learn to take a joke
Well Pluto is again a Planet... maby
they stil debating over this
+Michael Random No it's not. It's a dwarf planet. Different from a planet.
+SomeCartoonChick No
+Sebastien Olibrice yes.
+SomeCartoonChick it may be in the keiper belt most of the time and is a third the diameter of mercury ( about ) but it still orbits the sun.
Sebastien Olibrice
Yes.
Does this mean my whole life is a lie.
A butterfly does not come out of an apple.
Well, for one thing, they ride a magic school bus.
What about the taste buds episode? They said that the tongue has different areas for different tastes, but you tongue actually doesn't
I thought that would be pretty high on the list
That was a huge misconception that some people still believe to this day, that would've been a great one for the list.
I still have my doubts about that, just based on personal experience.
I knew I should've stayed off the Internet today...
ZHBG 9224, Why?
@@seanvasquez6951 he got that from Arnold except he says it different
You missed the worst one... In the one where they look at the circulatory system, it says blood without,oxygen is... PURPLE! I watched it in class and I proved my teacher wrong and i got 5 points extra credit
well even the statement "blood without oxygen" is wrong lol. That is how oxygen carries through your body.
blood returning to the lungs are deprived of oxygen.
it still has a bit of oxygen though, but it mostly doesn't have oxygen
Kylie Koronka blood is red inside the body. Look it up
Blood is always red, it's never blue. Your veins are blue.
Take Chances! Get Messy! Make Mistakes! - that wasn't about Science, that was about learning :P which is actually very good advice - also miss frizzle is DEFINITELY a timelord (a concept I independently came up with before anyone suggested the idea to me - slight meaningless brag)
Published on 19 Jan 2016? Pluto has gained back it's status as a planet as of this date. Also, a "dwarf planet" is still a planet notated by the word "planet". A dwarf human doesn't become a non-human just because you add an adjective...
+RealCoolGuy Ah, yes. A false analogy.
Dwarf planets are not planets, they just have the word "planet" in the name- and they aren't necessarily called "dwarf planets", sometimes the term "plutoid" is prefered.
And it did NOT gain back that status, LTIC.
Nathan T I guess that depends on who you consider the governing authority on planetary status. According to the Harvard Origins of Life Initiative, Pluto is a planet.
And here is NASA's description of Pluto: "Today, Pluto is called a “dwarf planet.” A dwarf planet orbits the sun just like other planets, but it is smaller."
So...it's a small planet...
From an etymological perspective, if a "dwarf planet" is not to be considered a planet then change the name. (I've never heard the term "Plutoid" until presently but I assume that is a reference to Pluto, which doesn't provide much differentiation--especially if Pluto is considered a planet--or a smaller than regular-size planet).
+RealCoolGuy
Not how it works. "Planet" has a specific definition, which Pluto doesn't meet. Science doesn't work the way you seem to be implying, odonticetti are called toothed-whales, but they aren't true whales. African wild dogs are called dogs, but they aren't true dogs. Brown Dwarfs aren't dwarf stars etc. NASA is a national agency for one country who's specialty is engineering and space flight, the IAU is an international organization of astronomers who specialize in astronomy. That's like saying the US Air Force has the authority to make universal definitions in aerodynamics, rather than international organizations of physicists who actually study aerodynamics.
Besides, there's no such thing as a "dwarf" human, dwarfs are mythological beings out of Norse folklore. Animals, including humans, suffer from "dwarfism", which is a condition.
Case closed.
TheRhinehart86 Thanks for backing me up on that! I agree; like I said "depends on who you consider the governing authority on planetary status".
RealCoolGuy
I think he was _dis_agreeing with you
"Incorrect?" "With the Frizz? No Way!"
lol
Pluto was re-planeted
100% true
Rip frederator
+Demetrius John Dwarf Planets are real, because they're a concept that can be applied to things in reality. That's how "being real" works.
Demetrius John Tell it to someone who doesn't already know that you're wrong.
On second thought, don't, because then you'd be lying again, meaning that I'd have even more of a reason to kill you than I already do.
I am never wrong.
A celestial body resembling a small planet but lacking certain technical criteria that are required for it to be classed as such.
There's your definition.
You don't know what you're talking about and everybody knows you're wrong lmao
#5 - No, it's thanks to SAILOR MOON that I won't shut up about Pluto not being a planet anymore
PLUTO WAS MY FAVORITE!!!!
+Iris in a Bottle ... The Moon isn't a planet and yet Sailor Moon is a senshi. Even if Pluto's not a planet, that doesn't mean that Sailor Moon can't be a senshi. Hell, there is even a Sailor Chibi Moon. She doesn't even get her own planet, satellite, dwarf planet, or anything. She just gets to copy her mom. Anyway ... yeah. No matter what Pluto is, it at least exists, and so there is no reason to worry over Sailor Pluto.
+Tinyfată Other planet's have moon, that are smaller the earths, so chibi moon's
Dan Smith ... But Chibi Moon is from Earth ... which only has one moon.
+Iris in a Bottle YAS!
Number six and one are a bit nitpicky, don't you think? Especially number one. You know that's not what is meant by that. That said, good video. I grew up with the Magic School Bus, and it still has a place in my heart. However, that doesn't leave it immune to criticism regarding what it got wrong. Still, as a show for children, I think it's very good overall. I would hope no one would try to use it to pass a test.
+Sloth7d I agree completely.
+Sloth7d Particularly as it is meant to be the class motto, in my opinion. School isn't just about science, even if the Magic School Bus is entered around just science. Teaching kids that they need to take risks, be okay with failure, and be willing to get their hands dirty and leave their comfort zones is important.
That is so true Magic School Bus is my childhood I've loved it for a long time and even if it got things wrong that doesn't mean it's not good for children obviously most children won't understand all the science so they're just simplifying even if it's wrong nobody is going to use it for a test....
+Sloth7d It's all nitpicking.
+Sloth7d The guy's name is Sloth, but has Edward Elric has a profile picture....k...
The first one that was wrong… OMG I WATCHED THAT AT SCHOOL TODAY
most of these my teacher shows us these
u wanna tell ur teacher
OMG BEST IDEA EVER A RAP BATTLE BETWEEN MS.Frizzle and Korosensei!!!!!!!!!
This is all very nitpicky. I mean overly so. For a kids show to teach children about what things are and how they work, it still accomplishes the job very well. This is not an episode of Nova here. I think thou nitpick a bit much here.
Also comparing facts that we know now, vs when the show was made is also not fair. If the show were made now these things would be updated and wouldn't be wrong. They were right for when the show was made in those cases. This whole list is kind of silly the more I'm analyzing this.
Didn't NASA just discover a 9th planet? Try to keep up to date.
+Jack McCourt They came up with a mathematical model that implied one with not much hard evidence. As neat as that would be to discover, it's so far been sensationalized.
+DJMouthwash I can tell you are using an old RUclips version, it made " ' " into "'s". I remember back on my old iPad every apostrophe became that.
+Jack McCourt No, it wasn't NASA. astronomer Mike Brown and planetary scientist Konstantin Batygin published a paper that there is evidence that there _could_ be a 9th planet.
+Bret Sheeley Also, if there was a ninth planet, it would probably be a rogue planet. If you guys don't know what that is, a rogue planet is a planet that was flung from it's solar system, or asteroid belt (if It's big enough), and has entered a new solar system. The ninth planet would have an erratic, or very slim orbit, which would explain how we haven't seen it yet, suggesting it could have been caught in the sun's gravitational field.
+A butterfly youtube on pc does that now when you edit a comment.
I thought Pluto was back to being a planet again?
I've seen you many places. Here, let's go to Pluto to talk this out.
+Jesse Green You are correct. However, these classifications are still completely arbitrary and serve no real practical purpose. Pluto should be grandfathered in as a planet. De-classifying it accomplished nothing but say 'fuck you' to Clyde Tombaugh. Other near-Pluto sized objects on the Oort Cloud and whatnot could still be not considered planets.
+Jesse Green if their going to make planets Dwarf, planets now it should be a requirrement to teach in school about planets and dwarf planets of our solar system.
+Jesse Green is really right. Also astrologist just don't make up rules these didn't just come out of the blue. If scientists just want to make an exception to rules just cuz something was one way for a long time. Shit would be chaos, on top of the fact nothing would make sense. Nothing would move forward if we just gave into popular demand.
+Princess Celestia the point went over you're head, jumped the moon and handle names with a spoon!
whooops!!! you got pregnant.
But dont forget "Take chances, get messy, make mistakes"
"Magic school bus is easily one of the most beloved educational programs ever to air one television." What about bill nye the science guy?????

The reason why they are wrong is probably because they are old I probably have been proved wrong, but we're right when the show was made.
*The reason why they are wrong is probably because they are old. They have probably been proved wrong, but where right when the show was made.
I agree. (also, I fixed your English)
in fairness, Ms. Frizzle's personal motto "Take Chances, make mistakes, get messy" may not be the scientific method, but it is the method of learning most humans benefit most from.
take chances or regret life passing you by.
make (small) mistakes so that you know about consequences and avoid future mistakes by learning from them.
get messy because a dirty job can be a fulfilling job.
Pretty sure Pluto is a planet again.
+Grift Pretty sure it isn't.
No, no, no, Pluto is Mickey Mouse's dog, you've got it all wrong!
+PokemonTrainer Dylan Pluto is actually the roman god's equivalent of hades
It still is technically not a planet, but scientists are still learning about the universe and what truly classifies as a planet.
Pluto will always be a planet to me!
I'm only 11 years old and I am not willing to except that Pluto is not a planet.#Team Pluto
Never!
Age have nothing to do with accepting that Pluto isn't a planet.
+LPSkitfit exactly, there is no age limit on who thinks Pluto is or isn't a planet. It will always be a planet to me.
You DO know they are discovering a ninth planet that is not pluto right?
I was unaware of that. But it still won't replace Pluto. #Pluto
Yes, by all means, let's discourage children from being creative and teach them that making mistakes is the worst thing ever. That way no one will ever invent or discover anything, ever again! (And we can avoid being 'wrong' about anything because we learned something new!)
As far as I know light doesn't bend, even under the effects of gravity, but space itself is bent by gravity, bending the space around the straight line the light is moving in. The light never knows it's not moving in a straight line. Right? Right?!

This is interesting

How about when Arnold pulled off his helmet in space and lived?

+MortisLegio "In reality, however, animal experiments..." That put a messed up image in my head.
The video makers do realize this is a television show made for elementary school children correct? TMSB was actually lauded for its accuracy
Yeah this video was very lazily done. MSB itself already has a producer segment after each episode that addresses inaccuracies better than this video does and in a less nitpicky way.
"Take controlled repeatable steps, don't do anything wrong, wear lab coats and gloves and stay at least 3 feet away from specimens" (its just not the same)
Nitpicky for no reason.....
+derepa06
Actually he should be nitpicky, that's how people realize flaws in systems and such.
Plus, you have no idea how many people I've met that think there's only 3 states of matter because of that show.
+htet arkar i don't see you nitpicking einstein because he didn't know how to build a facebook page.
Things that are discovered / classified / invented after your lifetime are not flaws in your logic.
when the shows were being made, matter only had 3 states, plasma was only adopted as a state of matter in the mid 2000's.
hell when that episode came out, in the early 90's plasma wasn't actually confirmed to be it's own thing, it was normally seen as being a super heated gas.
NoESanity
I kinda meant nitpicky as in a general thing not specific to the show / video. But yeah, i can see how it might've sounded otherwise.
Maybe i shouldn't have used the word "flaw" liberally? eh... though I'd like to half disagree with you on your second sentence.
people once thought that the world was flat, or that the sun orbited the earth (so on so forth)... these were then proven to be false later on, but could you have considered their logic at the time was.... well... not.. false?
I'll admit there are exceptions to what I've said... quite plenty, actually.
In the end, i suppose it just depends on the perspective of which we see each other's statements.
+derepa06 I think it's nitpicky for clicks. (That's a reason.) But I clicked Like not for the nitpicky, but because: Science *does* change. I think it's worth it to occasionally analyze (and for sure to *question*) any and all popularized science thinges.
In the effort to make the knowledge more accessible, mistakes often creep in.
Nitpicking those, IMHO, is not pointless. It acts as a jumping off point for more discussion, more insight and, ultimately more *understanding* of the subject.
Having more knowledge and more understanding of a topic is *always* worth it. #Ravenclaw.
I. Wyrd Well maybe it would have been better to say for no good reason. This show was made for kids. I just feel like half the things on this list, even if technically right, don't take into account that this show was made to educate elementary school age students. If you evaluate these lessons as an adult then of course you're gonna find flaws in them because you can understand the concepts better (well you should be able to) without the simplifications that kids require.
An adult with adult understanding and 22 years of technological advancement pointing out oversimplifications in a child's show that's over two decades old... Yeah i'd label that as nitpicking.
LOL. I think of myself as a Ravenclaw as well. LOL
First of all, 90% of that stuff could be explained by her being a Time Lord, you really think they don't have the technology to stop electrons, make friends with any creature, the school bus is basically a TARDIS, you think that it doesn't have a universal translator? And last, "take chances, make mistakes, get messy." Should be understood as a method of learning, not as a method of conducting science, just like you said, imagine if scientists used that philosophy when conducting science, imagine if every school used that philosophy, don't you think that would be a better method of learning then simply teaching kids how to jump through hoops, a.k.a. read this and answer these questions. No attempt at all whatsoever to get kids thinking creatively, problem-solving or anything of that sort.
+ADD OCD Jack of All Trades
......... there goes my faith in humanity... wow it's the 401th time now... :D gonna beat the record from last year.
pluto may not be considered a planet, but it still technically is, dwarf *planet*
It *technically* is not. Dwarf planets are not considered planets. Names of astronomical bodies are often confusing or counter intuitive, and this is a case of that. You can't use linguistics to compare two astronomical concepts. You have to actually compare concepts.
That last one is more of a life lesson then anything.
pluto is still a planet i .. i refuse to accept there changeing that
not surprising considering your poor grammar.
o man grammar police
Because science is based on opinion and emotion, right?
I agree. I cant wait to see Planet X.
I accept the idea that pluto isn't a planet but declein the fact that its a asteroid or dwarf planet. I say its in between planet and whatever else
I just felt so relieved when the spider fact was proved to be wrong ^^'
samee
literally the moment he said it I felt a violent shiver run down my spine. so relieved
It wasn't proved wrong. It was just never tested. Could be true. Could be wrong. We'll never know. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Jerry Rigg NO. STOP. 0__o
It's actually true. We all have a tiny spider that lives in our stomach and helps us digest.
In the dinosaur episode, the Frizz says that the tyrannosaurus rex was the biggest carnivore that ever lived. We now know that this is not the case - discounting non-dinosaur predators, the gigantosaurus was considerably larger than the t. rex, and the spinosaurus was even more so.
most beloved educational show I THINK NOT :distant sounds of crowds screaming "BILL, BILL, BILL, BILL":

4:22 "the kids apparently suffer no ill effects from the weird state of being simultaneously waves and particles"
Actually, all matter can travel as waves and particles. But the wavelength (de Broglie wavelength) varies inversely with mass, so it'd be super hard to detect for someone as large as a person.
Here's something I was wondering about. When it comes to Pluto not being an official planet because its orbit overlaps Neptune's orbit, what if in the future we find that this is more normal than we think. If we discover that most other solar systems have objects that overlap eachother's orbits and that systems without overlapping like ours are rare, I'm thinking that they will have to change the definition of what a planet is.
you forgot about the dinosaur one. They said that dinosaurs where millions of years old when that's not true and it was really thousands of years. AND PLUTO IS A PLANNET! I'M SICK AND TIRED OF PEOPLE SATING PLUTO IS NOT A PLANNET! IT IS!
+TheDMhoffland That,s not what IAU says!
I don't give a fying feather about the IAU. There stupid people.

OK i'm sorry about this. Pluto was my favorite planet before it was changed. It just makes me really angry.
***** Well I can understand. But being no more a planet...why is it less interesting to study?
Planet, not planet...meh, for me, it's a celestial body, and it's interesting to study. Period.
Just the fact that Pluto meets the 2nd requirement is really fascinating, to me. ^^
Cool video from the perspective of understanding the science behind it, however this is a children's show and they are teaching the basics of science, in which in later years when they have a better foundation to understand and build upon. Like what they teach in early years of school isn't always right, its just a concept to prepare one.
Also the video itself has some very questionable explanations of the phenomena it's trying to correct the show on.
@@panner11 i have to agree
"A *FRICTIONAL* world."
AYYYYYYYY!
Rith Trelin God have mercy on your soul
By the way they are starting to consider Pluto as a planet again. They got new photos of it and they realized that it was bigger than they thought and also found its moon or something. :/
I think their talking about "Planet X" I'm not too sure what that is I'm still trying to figure it out myself, so I don't have any facts right now to prove myself that I'm not stupid XD
+Mino1777 Wrong. Yes, Pluto is bigger than expected, which makes it the biggest Kuiper belt object, but that doesn't matter; the definition of a planet it's for it's mass to dominate it's local orbital ring, since the Kuiper belt, has many more objects of similar mass, then it doesn't count; same with Ceres or Eris. Now the so called Planet X is a hypothesis from the past century, however scientist now have run different advanced simulations consistent with the object (It somehow explains a discrepancy in Jupiter's orbit). If it exists, is not part of the Kuiper belt, but rather forms an extremely eccentric orbit that isn't parallel to the other planets, so we wouldn't have detected it yet, since we only looked for new objects on the main plane of the solar system, and it would be so dim, only very advanced telescopes would be able to detect anyway (unless it's in it's perigee, which happens for a short period and takes a couple hundred years to repeat). So scientist are looking for it and it is accurate to call it that, since it doesn't share it's orbit with another similarly sized object, it's mass would be enough to make it a spheroid and it orbits the sun.
+kkkllleee “mexamexo8” well someone did their homework
+Mino1777 Pluto has five moons and they have known about them for a while now.
+Ghastslayer914 yup and isn't that (a small) part of the reason they decided Pluto wasn't a planet anymore? I could be wrong, but I thought that since one of it's moons was like a third the size of Pluto itself, it was another reason to put it in a separate category than planet.
Pluto is classified as a sub planet or a dwarf planet but still a planet of sorts
+Heidi Williams (#StandWithPP) Yes, but...no.
It is close to be a planet, but because it doesn,t meet the 3rd requirement, it isn't one.
Nathan unknown I fuckin agree
MrEcoho I reverse the question to answer it : Who has the power to say a planet is not a planet?
The experts. Astrophysicists, astronomers, etc. They voted within the IAU. Ok, ok, there was a low percentage of the experts at this vote...but as we say in french "les absents ont toujours tort" (those who are absent are always wrong)
What is plasma?
Hot gas...
Does it hold different properties than gas?
Not really...
*Edit*
By the logic that plasma is a completely different state of matter than gas, I guess if you ionize a solid it magically becomes a new state of matter too, right?
Oh wait, it doesn't.
Plasma is really hot gas
Plasma is really hot gas
+Jeremy Hu actualy plasma is a superheated gas that has had its electrons stripped from it, making it only the nucleus
Way different that's like saying a solid is basically just a cold liquid plasma is not just like a superheated gas
It does, actually! Plasmas are susceptible to magnetic fields and will serve as conduits for electric current. They also have applications in antimicrobial research. The degree of change that takes place for a gas to become a plasma is comparable to the change for any other phase change, on average.
Some of these lessons were FACTS back then when the show was created and only changed after more research was completed in the world of science.
Haha, I remember when I was either 6 or 7 wanting to watch this show. Now i'm thirteen lol.
every show that tells us spiders arent bad is banned over here in australia. i know first hand coz i got hospitalised when i was little due to a bite
It wasn't wrong to teach Pluto was a planet AT THE TIME. Like all theories, teaching them before they are proven is ridiculous. If someone tried to teach Evolution in the 17th century they'd be wrong.
: Oh Frederator. Some of the most influential scientific discovers came from mistakes, accidents and may involved getting messy. The stream lining of science can be also the reason that certain unmade discoveries never get made.
This video is ridiculous you're dissecting a children's cartoon that had minor educational elements as though its a textbook I don't think a program which feature "magic school bus" in the title, that unabashedly show cases a flying, shrinking and generally physics defying bus should be taken seriously. Also it was designed to simplify complex scientific concepts for small children, explaining that light bends in the presence of extreme gravitational forces isn't possible to conceptualise to a child trying to understand how shadows exist. You've definitely not gained a subscriber.
+TheRg191 minor educational elements? i thought its purpose is to be educational
+john li edutainment. like bill nye. it's purpose is to be entertainment, but it does have educational merits.
but then again, if anyone thinks a school bus turning into a spider and eating a praying mantis is real, they have bigger problems than a few over simplified inaccuracies.
