(2) K-3 Illustrated by Bruce Degen. On this trip, spiffy-dresser Ms. Frizzle takes a detour: instead of a specific place, she travels through time to show her students the development of scientific thinking. They observe the giants (including Galileo and Marie Curie), ask questions, formulate hypotheses, and direct their inquiry toward discovery. The tour is quick, and in a meta-fictive conclusion each scientist addresses the overgeneralizations of the text.
