"Chemical science: it's a easy."

—Ms. Frizzle

Gets Ready, Fix, Dough is the 9th episode of the start season of The Magic Schoolhouse Bus. It is about kitchen chemistry.

Primary Episode

Ms. Frizzle is fixing the bus and it capriciously malfunctions. Within the classroom, the class practices a surprise for her surprise birthday party. When Arnold feels that something is missing, Dorothy Ann remembers her chemical science experiment and mixes water, sand, and cement to "get something new", concrete. They then realize that they forgot the block and cancel the surprise. A gloomy Ms. Frizzle walks in and informs them that the field trip is canceled due to the bus malfunctioning. Information technology was going to be to a bakery to acquire about chemistry and Carlos decides to convince her to continue on with it, prompting her to schedule information technology regardless of the coach' problems.

Every bit the bus rides through the city streets, it shrinks downwards. But Ms. Frizzle doesn't permit that terminate the field trip. She accelerates it through the post slot into the bakery, where the baker is working. It then transforms into a moth and flies over the baked goods while Ms. Frizzle explains the possible parts of information technology that might be on the fritz. It grabs the attention of a baby in a backpack, who cheerfully exclaims, "Bus! Charabanc!" Her father agrees, bold she said they were going to have a (unlike) bus home. Carlos suggests that they should make their own cake, but they have to do information technology while inconspicuous from Ms. Frizzle's heart, for they want it to exist a surprise for her. Then he convinces her to go to the car parts store next door and she puts Liz in charge before leaving.

Liz drives the autobus into the kitchen, where the bakery catches it and mistakes it for a real moth. He swats at it with a wing swatter and it disappears behind a couple of jars earlier transforming into a normal mini-sized bus. As the baker leaves, the class reads the cookbook for the cake recipe. Carlos orders Ralphie to get 2 eggs, Tim and Wanda to become carbohydrate and flour, Liz to become table salt and cream of tartar, Keesha to get milk, Phoebe to get butter, Arnold to get baking soda, and Dorothy Ann to watch to see if Ms. Frizzle will approach the kitchen. They become to work and Carlos runs off to get the chocolate.

The class grabs all the ingredients for the cake and Ms. Frizzle returns to encounter how they are doing on their work. Dorothy Ann, who learned that baking soda mixed with water makes vinegar, distracts her and asks for her help with an experiment. While the others piece of work on making the block, Arnold complains near the situation, to which Ralphie states it could be worse, but he disagrees, until the bus shrinks down once more in an capricious manner, shrinking the class fifty-fifty smaller than they were earlier, much to their dismay.

Carlos leaves after telling his classmates he has another idea. While he is away, they find cubes of common salt and diamonds of sugar. They larn that minerals look much different when looked at in a much smaller perspective. Meanwhile, Carlos uses the spoon every bit a catapult to fling salt into the basin. The class enters the autobus and adds the flour and sugar. They somewhen learn that flour, when viewed close upwardly, is fabricated of different parts as well. When they mix it into the chocolate, they larn how the colors change and that they could notwithstanding see which of the $.25 are chocolate. Trivial practice they know, the bakery is watching them and is convinced that the bus is a moth flight inside the kitchen. So he calls the Smug Problems Pest Control.

As the class uses the Bus to go on to add the ingredients, they unwillingly fly to Ms. Frizzle, who is notwithstanding focused on Dorothy Ann'south experiment. So she distracts her again and shows her what happens to a agglomeration of baking soda with a sparse amount of water within, which causes it to overflow within the test tube. So Dorothy Ann puts a balloon on superlative of it and Ms. Frizzle tells her that baking soda and vinegar makes a gas that pushes the airship out, which is tantamount to filling a tire with air. Ms. Frizzle so concludes that the bus needs new tires and goes dorsum to the auto parts store to find out the price of new ones.

Meanwhile, information technology is revealed that the Smug Bug Pest Control thinks that the baker is crazy, prompting him to do the work himself. While Carlos (via the bus' whisk extensions) mixes all the ingredients together in the bowl, the class learns that air is getting vanquish into the mixture and all the ingredients coalesce to create one new matter, cake batter.

The class then learns that cooks and chemists are akin: both measure ingredients and mix them together to make something new. The only difference being the melt gets to taste it. When the baker comes dorsum into the kitchen, Carlos turns the bus into a submarine and dives it into the cake batter. The bakery sees the bowl of batter and pours it into a blistering pan. He puts it in the oven to bake the cake, much to the class' horror as they are getting baked along with information technology.

While the class is getting broiled within the cake, they notice a person dressed in white approaching the passenger vehicle, who enters and turns out to exist Ms. Frizzle, who reminds Liz of the estrus shield. So she turns it on and the course feels much relieved. Dorothy Ann explains that the baking soda is making bubbling around the batter. When they hear a steaming audio, Ms. Frizzle explains that the water in the batter is vaporizing, thus expanding the bubbles and making them warmer. Just then, the batter solidifies, and the class learns that the cake is done. A pessimistic Arnold fears that they will become eaten along with it. Ms. Frizzle pushes a button on the dashboard, and the bus quickly breaks downwards. Dorothy Ann has a solution and decides to use baking soda and vinegar to create the gas pressure level to push button it out of the cake.

So simply as the bakery finally removes the block from the oven, the class uses the vinegar mixture to propel the bus out of information technology and back to the classroom, where they finally throw Ms. Frizzle the surprise political party and offer her the cake. Arnold cuts her a piece with a hole shaped similar the bus, and she states that "chemical science is a piece of cake", evoking laughter from the class.

Producer Says

Hosts: Baker and Liz

Back at the bakery, the bakery gets out his baked goods to sell. Then he tells himself that all his baking is "done for the solar day". Meanwhile, a boy walks within to ask if it's the same bakery the bus was in, to which the baker responds he played his role well. The boy then bets some donuts that he could tell the baker some crucial information missing from the prove, to which the baker guesses that Dorothy Ann would be far likewise young to do such experiments. The boy disagrees, every bit Mrs. Frizzle was already there, and a child using chemistry experiments is okay as long equally an adult is effectually, not to mention she was wearing goggles likewise. The baker so guesses that some people retrieve chemicals are bad for them, to which the boy responds that some are good and that information technology depends on its usage. As Liz sneaks around to swipe some broiled goods, the baker so decides to bet three donuts instead and guesses that fifty-fifty though the viewers learn that ingredients are made out of parts. It was never explained what the part themselves were made out of. The boy disagrees and states he knows they're all made out of atoms, and it goes on and on. The baker then guesses that the boy doesn't really believe that salt and saccharide aren't actually made out of blocks and diamonds, to which he replies they do at a microscopic size. Fed upwardly, the baker says to the boy that he should bet the boy every donut in the shop if the boy can't tell him what information is missing. The boy and so replies the bakery never explained Ms. Frizzle's historic period. The baker tells the boy that he is right about that and sells all the donuts to the boy. Finally, all the broiled appurtenances are gone (thanks to Liz). The bakery complains that he has been used to crumbs as Liz snacks on the last cupcake.

• During the spinning transition to Ralphie'due south and Phoebe's report after the line "But if Ms. Frizzle asks, information technology's chemical science!", Arnold's and Wanda'due south mouths seem abnormally close to their noses.

  

  It's then beautiful.
