S1E14 | School's Out For The Summer

Episode 14! The capstone episode for Season 1 is finally here. Join Matt and Sarah as they discuss what was learned, highlight favorite moments, and the highly anticipated MASH for Ms. Frizzle. What are the plans for Season 2? You'll just have to watch to find out.

S1E13 | Kicks Up A Storm | Air, Water, & Heat

Just as storms roll in to clear the awful heat wave plaguing the mid-Atlantic, Matt and Sarah sit down to discuss the question "what even is weather?" Our curious crew breaks down the three main ingredients that make up weather here on earth: heat, water, and air. They take a few pit stops along the way by discussing their favorite clouds and debating the rotation of the earth then end it all with a MASH for our favorite cast member, Tim! Happy last episode of season one!

S1E12 | Ants In Its Pants | Ants, Animorphs, & The Military Industrial Complex

Could you hold your own against 3 million ants? What about your grandma? Matt and Sarah know they don't stand a chance. This week we are getting itchy crawling skin as the discussion on ants unfolds, and quickly derails into a larger conversation on colony species and the book series Animorphs. Are ants really one living unit? What other animals live in colonies with queens? Will Sarah ever get over the sound effects from this episode? Listen in to find out.

S1E11 | Goes To Seed | Heirlooms, Crisper, & a Biblical Knowing

This week Matt taps into his deep seeded (not sorry) personal experience as a plant professional, enthusiast, and fact knower. The two talk through how seeds are made, what were those weird tubes Ms. Frizzle showed us, and talk GMO. What do you know about round up ready soy beans? If you said nothing, that's about to change in this week's episode.

S1E10 | Plays Ball | Friction, Force, & Curve Balls

Ms. Frizzle takes the class inside Dorothy Ann’s book for a baseball game on a frictionless field, and chaos follows. Ralphie is dreaming big, the class is slipping sideways, and Sarah and Matt are trying their best to understand physics without becoming math people. In this episode, we talk friction, gravity, momentum, vectors, energy transfer, curveballs, ice skating, invisible forces, and why the stories we tell ourselves might be one of the most powerful forces of all. Along the way, we ask what friction would look like up close, where energy goes when motion stops, and whether being a little delusional is actually necessary for getting through life. Plus: Matt bravely confronts vectors!
