UM, CARLOS, WAS IT SUPPOSED TO SOUND LIKE THAT?
NO WAY! I DON'T GET IT.
IT LOOKS INCREDIBLE, BUT IT SOUNDS
PLOOPY?
EXACTLY. WHAT DID I DO WRONG?
[LATIN MUSIC PLAYING]
WOW!
SHE'S AMAZING.
THAT'S ONE WAY TO LOOK AT IT.
GOOD MORNING, CLASS
Kids: GOOD MORNING, MS. FRIZZLE.
DOROTHY ANN, I TAKE IT THAT THAT WAS YOUR NEW PIECE,
"CONCERTO FOR INVENTED INSTRUMENT."
WELL, IT WAS THE CONCERTO PART, ALL RIGHT, BUT
BUT THE INVENTED INSTRUMENT WAS PLOOPY.
AND THERE'S ALMOST NO TIME TO FIX IT BEFORE THE CONCER
AT THE SOUND MUSEUM TOMORROW.
YEAH, AND WE'VE GOT A REHEARSAL THERE THIS AFTERNOON.
SO, WHAT'S THE PROBLEM, CARLOS?
WELL, I HAVE A GREAT IDEA FOR A SOUND.
AND I SEE YOU'RE BUILDING
AN IMPRESSIVE INSTRUMENT TO MAKE IT. MARVELOUS!
THAT'S THE PROBLEM. I CAN HEAR THE SOUND IN MY HEAD, BUT I
PLOOPY. PLOOPY.
WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?
WELL, IF YOU KEEP ASKING QUESTIONS, CARLOS,
YOU'LL KEEP GETTING ANSWERS.
BUT THERE'S NO TIME FOR QUESTIONS, MS. FRIZZLE.
WE'RE GOING TO BE LATE
FOR THE REHEARSAL AT THE SOUND MUSEUM.
AND AS WE ALL KNOW, THOSE WHO ARE GREAT ARE NEVER LATE.
COME ALONG, CLASS-- TO THE BUS.
WE'RE GOING NOW?
BUTBUT, MS. FRIZZLE!
Keesha: BUT WHAT IF THE SOUND OF CARLOS' INSTRUMENT STAYS
[CLANK BLAAT SQUEAK]
JUST LIKE THAT?
OH, OUR CONCERTO WILL BE RUINED,
ALL THE OTHER SCHOOLS WILL LAUGH AT US,
AND IT'LL BE THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT.
OTHER THAN THAT, NOTHING.
WHAT ELSE CAN I PUT ON THIS THING TO GET IT TO MAKE A TERRIFIC SOUND?
HMMLET'S SEE
OK! THERE!
IF I ONLY HAD MORE TIME!
HMMMORE TIME.
OK, BUS, DO YOUR STUFF.
WA-HOO!
Kids: AAH!
WHAT'S GOING ON?
AN AWARD-WINNING PERFORMANCE, BUS!

MS. FRIZZLE, ISN'T THERE SOMETHING WE CAN DO?
WELL, NOW THAT YOU MENTION IT

WHAT WAS THAT?
IT WAS ME. HOW WAS THAT, DOROTHY ANN?
I WANT MY INSTRUMEN
TO HAVE THE POWER OF A THUNDERSTORM,

I WONDER WHO LIVES HERE.
LIVED HERE, KEESHA.
PROFESSOR CORNELIA C. CONTRALTO,
ECCENTRIC AND COLLECTOR OF SOUNDS--
BORN 1807, DISAPPEARED 1892.
HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT, MS. FRIZZLE?
BECAUSE AFTER SHE VANISHED,
THEY TURNED HER HOUSE-- THIS HOUSE--
INTO THE SOUND MUSEUM.
THIS IS THE SOUND MUSEUM?
I KNEW IT! WE MISSED THE REHEARSAL!
WHERE IS EVERYONE?
GONE FOR THE NIGHT, TIM,
WHICH MEANS WE HAVE THE WHOLE PLACE TO OURSELVES.
OH, BOY!
OH, BOY.
UNH! AAH!
PROFESSOR CONTRALTO DEVOTED HER ENTIRE LIFE TO SOUND.
HUH? WHAT HAPPENED TO HER?
NO ONE KNOWS.

WELL, CARLOS, YOU'LL HAVE PLENTY OF TIME TO FIND IT.
WE'RE SPENDING THE NIGHT.
THE NIGHT? HERE? BUT OUR PERMISSION SLIPS

PROFESSOR CONTRALTO BUILT EVERY ROOM IN THIS HOUSE
TO SHOW DIFFERENT THINGS ABOUT SOUND.
[BOOM]
Ms. Frizzle: SIMPLY SONIFEROUS!
HEY! I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO PLAY A HARP.
[TWANG]
LOOK AT THAT STRING MOVING BACK AND FORTH.
THAT, CLASS, IS A VIBRATION. YOU CAN FEEL IT.
[TWANG]
VI-B-BR-A-A-TION.
LET'S GET THE FACTS.
WHEN THE STRING STOPPED VIBRATING,
THE SOUND STOPPED.
[TWANG]
THE VIBRATION OF THE STRING.
THAT'S WHAT'S MAKING THE SOUND!
VERY GOOD, CARLOS. SOUND IS VIBRATION.
HEAR IT! FEEL IT!
ARE ALL SOUNDS MADE BY SOMETHING VIBRATING?
OH, GOOD QUESTION, CARLOS.
COME ON, PHOEBE, LET'S TRY OUT THAT DRUM.
WHOA! WHOA!
[BONG]
TH-TH-THERE'S YOUR A-A-ANSWER, C-C-CARLOS!
SO I'VE GOT TO MAKE MY INSTRUMENT VIBRATE
TO MAKE MY SOUNDBUT HOW?
AS I ALWAYS SAY,
BEHIND EVERY SUCCESSFUL SOUND
IS A VIBRATION.

NOW WHAT?
YEOW!
AAH!

HEY! THEY'RE DIFFERENT!
YEAH. WHEN YOU SING
HIGH DEE HIGH DEE HIGH DEE HIGH ♪
LOOK. THERE ARE LOTS OF VIBRATIONS CLOSE TOGETHER.
BUT WHEN YOU SING
LOW DEE LOW DEE LOW ♪
THERE ARE FEWER VIBRATIONS FURTHER APART.
AH, EXCELLENT. HIGH SOUNDS ARE MADE
BY SOMETHING VIBRATING FAST
[TINKLE TINKLE TINKLE]
AND LOW, BY SOMETHING VIBRATING SLOW.
[BONG]
YOU KNOW WHAT? THESE VIBRATIONS MOVE
KIND OF LIKE RIPPLES ON A POND.
HA HA HA! THE WAVES START IN ONE PLACE
AND MOVE OUT IN ALL DIRECTIONS.
IF SOUND IS A VIBRATION AND IT MOVES THROUGH THE AIR IN WAVES
AND DIFFERENT VIBRATIONS MAKE DIFFERENT SOUNDS
[BONG]
STOP THE VIBRATION, AND YOU STOP THE SOUND.
I'VE GOT IT! IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW MY INSTRUMENT LOOKS,
AS LONG AS IT CAN VIBRATE.
D.A., I KNOW WHAT TO DO!
I'VE GOT TO GET MY INSTRUMENT.
IT'S GONE!
[WOLF HOWLS]
WHERE COULD IT BE?
THERE'S AN EXPLANATION, CLASS.
THE QUESTION IS WHAT IS IT?
FIRST, CARLOS' INSTRUMENT DISAPPEARS.
THEN, EACH OF US, ONE BY ONE.

COMING, ARNOLD? WE'RE WAITING.
I THINK I SHOULD HAVE STAYED HOME TODAY.

NOW, LISTEN.
YOU'VE GOT A CONCERT TOMORROW, RIGHT?
ARE YOU READY TO MAKE YOUR INSTRUMEN
SOUND RICHLY RESONANT AND RESOUNDINGLY REVERBERANT?
HOW DID SHE KNOW ABOUT CARLOS' INSTRUMENT?
YOU ASKED THE QUESTION.
LET'S SEE
DON'T YOU MEAN "LET'S HEAR"?
RIGHT. TO MAKE A SOUND,
I NEED TO MAKE SOMETHING VIBRATE.
MY INSTRUMENT COULDN'T VIBRATE
BECAUSE THERE WAS TOO MUCH STUFF ON IT.
I DON'T NEED THAT. DON'T NEED THAT.
THAT GOES. THAT GOES
I THINK HE'S GOT IT! I THINK HE'S GOT IT!

THANKS, D.A.
AND SO, YOUNG MAN, IF IT'S ALL RIGHT WITH YOU,

HELLO. "MAGIC SCHOOL BUS."
Girl: HI. ARE YOU THE ONE RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT SHOW ON SOUND?
MM-HMM. YOU MIGHT SAY THAT. YES.
WELL, WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH THAT HOUSE?
I MEAN, YOU COULD NEVER SEE SOUND.
IT GOES WAY TOO FAST.
OH, YOU'RE RIGHT.
THAT'S WHY THEY HAD MAGIC GLASSES.
I DON'T GET SOMETHING.
IF SOUND IS A VIBRATION, JUST WHAT'S DOING THE VIBRATING?
THIN AIR.
A SOUND IS MADE WHEN SOMETHING
PUSHES BACK AND FORTH ON THE AIR
AND MAKES THE AIR VIBRATE.
THIS VIBRATION TRAVELS THROUGH THE AIR
TO YOUR EAR AS A SOUND WAVE.
SO A LOUD SOUND IS JUST A BIG VIBRATION?
RIGHT, AND A SOFT SOUND
IS A VERY TINY VIBRATION.
AND WHAT ABOUT OUR EARS? YOU HARDLY MENTIONED THEM.
EARS ARE VERY IMPORTANT.
THEY TURN SOUND WAVES INTO SOMETHING OUR BRAIN CAN HANDLE.
THAT'S HOW YOU HEAR.
BUT NOT EVERYBODY'S EARS WORK THE SAME, DO THEY?
MY GRANDMOTHER WEARS A HEARING AID TO HELP HER HEAR BETTER.
AND SOME PEOPLE CAN'T HEAR ANYTHING EVER,
EVEN WITH A HEARING AID.
THEY USE THEIR BRAINS WITH THEIR OTHER SENSES TO REPLACE HEARING.
AND ANOTHER THING, THERE ARE LOTS OF DIFFERENCES
IN SOUNDS BESIDES LOUDNESS AND PITCH.
A VIOLIN AND A SAXOPHONE SOUND VERY DIFFERENT,
EVEN WHEN THEY'RE PLAYING THE SAME NOTE.
TRUE.
THERE ARE ENOUGH DIFFERENT KINDS OF SOUNDS
TO FILL THE WORLD, BUT WE ONLY HAD
HALF AN HOUR, AND WE HAD TO LEAVE ROOM
FOR ALL THOSE
[CHUCKLES]
HILARIOUS JOKES.
OK, BUT ONE LAST THING. YES?
ABOUT THAT GHOST,
WELL, THAT CAN'T HAVE BEEN TRUE.
I MEAN, EVERYBODY KNOWS THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS GHOSTS.

THE SOUND STOPPED.

THE VIBRATION OF THE STRING.
THAT'S WHAT'S MAKING THE SOUND!
VERY GOOD, CARLOS. SOUND IS VIBRATION.

HELLO. "MAGIC SCHOOL BUS."
Girl: HI. ARE YOU THE ONE RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT SHOW ON SOUND?
MM-HMM. YOU MIGHT SAY THAT. YES.
WELL, WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH THAT HOUSE?
I MEAN, YOU COULD NEVER SEE SOUND.
IT GOES WAY TOO FAST.
OH, YOU'RE RIGHT.
THAT'S WHY THEY HAD MAGIC GLASSES.
I DON'T GET SOMETHING.
IF SOUND IS A VIBRATION, JUST WHAT'S DOING THE VIBRATING?
THIN AIR.
A SOUND IS MADE WHEN SOMETHING
PUSHES BACK AND FORTH ON THE AIR
AND MAKES THE AIR VIBRATE.
THIS VIBRATION TRAVELS THROUGH THE AIR
TO YOUR EAR AS A SOUND WAVE.
SO A LOUD SOUND IS JUST A BIG VIBRATION?
RIGHT, AND A SOFT SOUND
IS A VERY TINY VIBRATION.
AND WHAT ABOUT OUR EARS? YOU HARDLY MENTIONED THEM.
EARS ARE VERY IMPORTANT.
THEY TURN SOUND WAVES INTO SOMETHING OUR BRAIN CAN HANDLE.
THAT'S HOW YOU HEAR.
BUT NOT EVERYBODY'S EARS WORK THE SAME, DO THEY?
MY GRANDMOTHER WEARS A HEARING AID TO HELP HER HEAR BETTER.
AND SOME PEOPLE CAN'T HEAR ANYTHING EVER,
EVEN WITH A HEARING AID.
THEY USE THEIR BRAINS WITH THEIR OTHER SENSES TO REPLACE HEARING.
AND ANOTHER THING, THERE ARE LOTS OF DIFFERENCES
IN SOUNDS BESIDES LOUDNESS AND PITCH.
A VIOLIN AND A SAXOPHONE SOUND VERY DIFFERENT,
EVEN WHEN THEY'RE PLAYING THE SAME NOTE.
TRUE.
THERE ARE ENOUGH DIFFERENT KINDS OF SOUNDS
