Science! (Thursday, 7th Period)

[getfrizzled.livejournal.com]

Ms Frizzle waited for her class and Ellie's astronomy class on the front steps of the school. The bus waited patiently behind her, looking suspiciously like a very normal school bus. Ms Frizzle, as usual, looked nothing like a normal science teacher. Moons and planets adorned today's dress, with dangling Saturns for earrings. Her hairstyle was different today, though. Curling buns on either side of her head. When everyone had arrived, she bounced in place before throwing out her arms.

"Good afternoon, everyone! Class, I'd like you to welcome Ms Arroway's astronomy class, who will be joining us for today's field trip! Last class we were talking about the water cycle on the planet Earth. I think it's time we expanded our focus a bit." A worrying smile that should be getting familiar to her students spread across her face and her eyes lit up. "Everyone to the bus!"

[[Don't ask about the kind of day I've had. Just . . . don't ask. OCD coming up. Play away!]]

The inner planets!

"Don't worry, children!" Ms Frizzle told them as they left the atmosphere and shot past the moon. Each student will find that they are now wearing spacesuits, bubble-shaped helmets sitting beside them. "We'll be returning to the moon by the end of the trip! Now, there are four inner planets (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inner_planets#Inner_planets) of the solar system, including Earth. Oh, and Ms Arroway, feel free to jump in any time!" Ms Frizzle spoke constantly as they moved swiftly outwards, pointing out Mercury and Venus behind them. The bus had tinted windows, so the Sun wasn't much of a problem. They circled Mars twice and she continued to talk about the recent NASA Mars missions. She even pointed out the rover, far below on the planet's surface.

Thankfully, this is not the first time Pippi has worn a space suit... Though it is the first time she's worn one in space.

Naomi was thrilled with the idea of being back in space, as she stared out of the window completely amazed by how different it looked compared to her time. It was the first time that she had worn a spacesuit though but she wasn't concerned about that.

Trying to concentrate on Ms Frizzle when you suddenly discover yourself wearing a spacesuit? Not so easy. Shawn's not even trying, he's far too busy trying to work out the helmet.

Idly listening, Chad picked up his helmet and tapped the glass visor as if he didn't trust it entirely. He squeezed it a bit as if to test its durability. Tests passed, he waited until they were getting closer to landing to fit it on his head.
