The Friz's class goes to a beach, but Ralphie insists on keeping them in one spot, which the rest of the class think is the most rotten one there, being crowded with other people. Ralphie, however, insists that this is where they want to be. Meanwhile, the Friz hears that her Uncle Shelby needs a special spot saved for someone named “Mert.” Eager to get away from Ralphie's, the rest of the class agrees. However, they find this one's inhabitant is not a human; it is a mussel. They decide the middle tidal zone is too crowded so they decide to find a spot. However, they find worse problems in the low one and the high one, so they eventually come back. When they get back to Ralphie, they try to apply what they have learned to convince him to change spots, but they discover that he did have his reasons for picking his-–an ice cream truck stops by!

00:02Seatbelts everyone, please let this be a normal field trip, with a friend?
00:07No way!
00:08Cruising on the main street, you're relaxed and feeling good
00:12Next thing that you know you're seeing
00:16Octopus in my neighborhood
00:18Surfing on the sine wave, swinging through the stars
00:22Take a left at your intestine, take your second right past Mars
00:26On the Magic School Bus
00:27Navigate a nostril
00:29Climb on the Magic School Bus
00:32Spank a plane done to
00:34On our Magic School Bus
00:36Rock the river of lava
00:38On the Magic School Bus
00:40Such a fine thing to do
00:42So strap your bones right to the seat
00:45Come on in and don't be shy
00:47Just to make your day complete
00:49You might get baked into a pie
00:51On the Magic School Bus
00:53Step inside, it's a wire to ride
00:56Come on!
00:57Right on the Magic School Bus
01:00Boy, this is the life
01:09Yep, the sun, the sand, and us
01:13Ah, this is what I call a field trip
01:16And what a great topic
01:18How animals pick a place to live
01:21Good thing we're animals
01:23And what better place to pick than the beach
01:27Ah...
01:28Except, this isn't the right place
01:30What do you mean, Ralphie?
01:36This is where we want to be
01:38Trust me, this spot here has everything we need
01:42But Ralphie, what's so great about this spot?
01:46And how come nobody's here but us?
01:50Uh, scratch that
01:54Forget this!
01:55It's way too crowded now
01:57Let's move back to where we were
02:00Uh-uh, we stay here
02:02This is the right spot for us
02:04You'll see
02:06Sorry, but I don't think so, Ralphie
02:08There's no room to lie out or build sandcastles
02:12Or anything
02:13And it's nowhere near the water
02:15Yoo-hoo!
02:17Class!
02:21Miss Frizzle!
02:24Salutations, sun seekers!
02:28I see you found the, uh, busiest spot on the beach
02:32You can say that again
02:34But this is where we're staying
02:36Not me
02:37Not only is it too crowded here
02:40It's Trash City!
02:43Keisha's right, Ralphie
02:44I can't think of one good thing to say about this spot
02:49Relax, you guys
02:51You'll get the message soon enough
02:52Oh, and speaking of messages
02:55This just floated in with the tide
02:57The tide?
02:58Mm-hmm
02:59The regular rise and fall of the water in the oceans, Arnold
03:03Huh?
03:04I know what you mean
03:05There's a pier near where we go on vacation
03:07And when it's high tide
03:09The water rises up
03:12Right, Tim?
03:14Uh, right, Miss Frizzle
03:17And when it's low tide, the water goes down
03:22Up and down, up and down
03:25Twice a day, every day
03:28Service you can count on
03:30Who sent the message, Miss Frizzle?
03:32Open it! Open it!
03:36Why, it's from my Uncle Shelby
03:38Why am I not surprised?
03:41Greetings, my valorous Valerie
03:43I'd like to finagle a favor
03:44I'm off to a shell show
03:46A meeting of mollusks
03:47Starring my molluscular mate, Mert
03:50Turns out Mert needs someone
03:52To keep an eye on his scrumptious shoreline home
03:55Are you game?
03:56Ah, a scrumptious shoreline home
03:59That's exactly what we've been looking for
04:02We're not looking for anything, Wanda
04:05We've got a place here, remember?
04:07Get real, Ralphie
04:10This is not scrumptious
04:11And it's nowhere near the shoreline
04:16Oh, look!
04:17There's even a map to show us how to get there
04:21Please, can we go, Miss Frizzle?
04:23Can we?
04:24Can we, can we, can we?
04:25Well, it would be nice to help out my Uncle Shelby
04:30Oh, I got his machine
04:32Val here, Uncle Shell
04:33Tell your friend Mert
04:34We'd be happy as clams to watch his place for him
04:38Conch up with you later
04:40Hi-ho, class!
04:44You guys go
04:45I'm staying right here to guard our spot
04:48It has everything we need
04:50Right, Liz?
04:54Single file, class!
05:03Let's see
05:04According to this map, Mert's place should be
05:07Right over there!
05:10You'd better double-check the map, Wanda
05:12That place doesn't look so scrumptious to me
05:15Well, the map divides the shoreline into three zones
05:20High, middle, and low!
05:23This red line goes right down through the high zone
05:26Into the part of the middle zone
05:28Which is in the water!
05:30Let's go!
05:34No way!
05:35Nobody would live down there
05:37Mert does!
05:38It's on the map, see?
05:41Besides, Miss Frizzle promised
05:43She can't go back on her word now
05:45Right, Miss Frizzle?
05:48Loyalty is everything, Phoebe
05:50Why, I'd go to the bottom of the sea for my Uncle Shelby
05:53Uh-oh!
05:54Why do we get the feeling that...
05:56Never fear!
05:57The bathysphere!
06:02This is turning into a field trip!
06:12Buckle up, class!
06:16We're goin' down!
06:18We're goin' down!
06:35Um, Miss Frizzle?
06:38Yes, Arnold?
06:38What do we do when we run out of air in here?
06:42Well, in the famous words of my cousin Crustacean
06:44When you're in muscle territory, arrr, do what muscles do
06:49And what might that be?
06:53Yay!
07:02What happened?
07:04What are we?
07:04You are now my Tillis Californianus
07:09Muscles
07:10Muscles?
07:11Look!
07:12We can breathe!
07:14Hey, yeah!
07:14We've got gill thingies!
07:16Just like fish do!
07:18Ah, yes!
07:19The thrill of a gill!
07:21Don't you just love it?
07:23But what's the deal with these stringy things?
07:26Well, it's all part of what it means to be a muscle
07:29Muscles don't have arms and legs, you know
07:31There goes my career as a concert pianist!
07:34Hey!
07:35According to the map, Mert's place is right here!
07:39Look!
07:40There's the sign!
07:42Scrumptious Shoreline Home?
07:44Huh!
07:45Well, this has been very interesting, but, uh, let's go back now
07:49Being turned into a muscle has made me hungry
07:51Besides, what's all this got to do with Mert?
07:54Wait a minute!
07:55This is starting to make some kind of weird sense!
08:00Miss Frizzle?
08:01Yes, Wanda?
08:02By any chances, Mert...
08:05A muscle?
08:06Well, my Uncle Shelby always did hang out with a...
08:09Unusual crowd!
08:12Oh no!
08:26What better way to find out how animals pick places to live
08:29Than to live in the place an animal picked?
08:31I like it!
08:33Hey, wait!
08:34Someone's moving into Mert's place!
08:36I hate to be a crab, but it might be time to muscle in!
08:43Time to do the muscle hustle class!
08:53What's to keep us from falling off?
08:55Maybe that's what these stringy things are for!
08:59To fasten ourselves down!
09:01Oh, what a fascinating idea, Phoebe!
09:05I don't get what's so great about this spot!
09:07I mean, it's just as crowded as Ralphie's spot on the beach!
09:11And what do we do for food?
09:13Patience, Arnold!
09:15According to Uncle Shelby, this is one of the finest spots on the shoreline!
09:24I told you, Liz!
09:26This is one of the finest spots on the beach!
09:31What was that?
09:31Hey!
09:33Hey!
09:35All right, all right, don't panic!
09:37We gotta stay calm!
09:40You know, Carlos, you're my pal and all, but I'm not too thrilled about your living on
09:43my head!
09:45Yeah, well, if Arnold would just give me a little shell room!
09:48At least you two don't have to bunk with species you don't even know!
09:52According to my research, that snail is a turban snail!
09:56And these creatures are gooseneck barnacles!
09:59I guess they want a piece of the rock, too!
10:02But do they have to have my piece?
10:11Miss Frizzle!
10:16I see you've met an Owl Limpet, Arnold!
10:19Not because I wanted too, it's pushing me right out of here!
10:26Me too!
10:32Help!
10:33That Owl Link is really pushy.
10:37What do we ever do to him?
10:40At least now we know why Uncle Shelby needed someone to watch Mert's place.
10:44Everyone wants to move in.
10:46Though I'm not exactly sure why.
10:48Maybe we can find another place for Mert to live and save it for him.
10:53I guess that's better than giving up.
10:55But where?
10:55Now that your muscles act like muscles.
11:00You've got to live or you've got what you need.
11:04Well, I want a place that's not so crowded.
11:07A safe place where no one's going to push us around.
11:10And wherever it is, it needs to be wet.
11:13We are muscles after all.
11:15Deep thinking, class.
11:17So, where to?
11:18I vote for the low zone.
11:21Let's go deeper.
11:23A sensible suggestion, my mollusk minions.
11:26And this time I'll leave the driving to you.
11:33Whoa!
11:35Way cool!
11:37Come on, guys!
11:44Muscle magic!
11:47Follow me!
11:57Wow!
11:58This low zone is way better than the middle zone.
12:01Myrtle, love it here.
12:03Coming through!
12:05Ugh!
12:08I can feel myself getting attached to this place already.
12:13So, what do you think, class?
12:16Is this place great or what?
12:19Yep!
12:20This place has it all, Ms. Frizzle.
12:22First of all, there are no annoying neighbors like those pushy owl limpets.
12:26Second, it seems safe enough.
12:29Third, we're far enough underwater that we'll stay wet even at low tide.
12:34And fourth?
12:35Um, fourth?
12:37Um, look at those pretty sea stars.
12:43Yeah, and they're coming closer.
12:50Ew!
12:52That sea star is eating a mussel.
12:55What if we are next?
12:57Actually, Keisha, mussels are good.
13:00Yeah, good enough to eat.
13:04Yikes!
13:05So much for being safe in the low zone.
13:08But we've gotta find a place for lunch.
13:11There's only one place to go from here up to the high zone.
13:15And we'd better go now!
13:27Hey, this high zone isn't so bad.
13:29A little dry maybe, but not bad at all.
13:31There's nobody here to bother us.
13:34Just a bunch of barnacles and periwinkles.
13:37No owl limpets to shove us around.
13:40Or sea stars to eat us.
13:44Seems to be safe though.
13:47Then how come we're not breathing easily?
13:50Because mussels need water to breathe, remember?
13:53Better save what you have inside your shells.
13:56Clam up, class!
14:01What happens when the water inside our shells dries up?
14:05I don't wanna think about it.
14:07I don't get it.
14:09The dryness and the heat doesn't seem to bother these guys.
14:13Maybe it's because those barnacles are white.
14:16And white doesn't get as hot in the sun.
14:19Cool observation, D.A.
14:21As far as I can see, this place is gold.
14:25Brent's gonna love it.
14:27Pretty soon, the tide will rise and then...
14:30Wanda! Look out!
14:34Help!
14:45Wanda!
14:52Whoa! That was close!
14:55No wonder all the critters up here in the high zone
14:58have really strong shells.
14:59They need them for protection.
15:02Yeah, our shells don't stand a chance against those seagulls.
15:06Well, as Uncle Shelby once said, a mollusk is only as good as its shell.
15:11So much for being safe up here.
15:14If you ask me, Mert knew a good thing when he saw it.
15:18I say we go back to the place he picked, in the middle zone.
15:23Good idea.
15:25I'm beginning to dry up.
15:27Yeah, and if we stay here much longer, we could be seagull lunch.
15:33Let's get out of here!
15:38Just sit tight, Liz. We'll be able to breathe again when they finish digging.
15:48This is still the best place.
15:52Let me get this straight.
15:54But the high zone was no good for us mussels because it's too hot, too dry, and too dangerous.
16:01And the low zone was no good because we could get eaten.
16:05So now we're going back to the middle, where it's really crowded and pushy.
16:10Do I have that right?
16:11Oh, you said a mouthful, Arnold.
16:14But don't open it yet.
16:15Come on, class!
16:16Let's make a splash!
16:17Speaking of water, how'd it get down there?
16:20It was up here before.
16:22Not only that, but these mussels have totally taken over Mert's spot.
16:27Look!
16:28The water's down there because it's low time.
16:32But it's coming back up, remember?
16:34Service you can count on.
16:40In the meantime, let's take back Mert's spot.
16:43Move over, pal!
16:45I think we need a little help, Miss Frizzle.
16:48Yeah, wear yellow limpets when you need them.
16:51Coming right up, Carlos!
16:55Ah, so that's why crabs can't whistle.
16:58Hey, boss!
17:00Do your stuff!
17:09Is that a way, boss?
17:12Okay, now push!
17:15Give him the old hee-ho!
17:17Do it for Mert!
17:20Okay, class.
17:21Lash yourselves in tight.
17:25Okay, so we fought our way in here.
17:28We've got some room.
17:29We're not in any danger.
17:31And it's wet enough to breathe.
17:33But...
17:33But what, Arnold?
17:35What good is it if we can't get any food?
17:38What's life without lunch?
17:41Um, guys?
17:42Maybe there's something else we should worry about besides no food?
17:47And what would that be, Wanda?
17:49Giant waves!
17:52Yikes!
17:54All right on schedule.
17:56Time and tide wait for no muscle.
18:05Hey, that wasn't so bad.
18:08Yeah!
18:09These shells really hold up.
18:11And these threads keep us from getting knocked off.
18:17Not again!
18:27No wonder those hungry sea stars stay in the low zone.
18:31They get clobbered in this surf.
18:33Okay, so we can take it and they can't.
18:36But toughness doesn't fill our lunchbox.
18:39Don't be so sure, Arnold.
18:43Hey, look!
18:45The water's making the muscles open back up.
18:47They're eating!
18:49You see that, Arnold?
18:55Arnold?
18:57What?
18:58Arnold, what are you doing?
19:02Enjoying a fabulous, all-you-can-eat buffet.
19:05Delivered by the tide through the waves directly into your mouth.
19:11Make that your siphons, Arnold.
19:13Water with food goes in one siphon.
19:16Water without food comes out the other.
19:18Ah, yes!
19:19The treasures of the sea!
19:22Gosh, I forgot zooplankton could taste so good.
19:25You said it!
19:26This goose barnacle larvae is delish!
19:30No wonder Mert puts up with this place.
19:33He's made for it.
19:34Not only is the food great,
19:36he's built to take the pounding of the waves.
19:39And the sea stars and sea slugs that can't take it
19:44live down in the low zone.
19:46And barnacles and periwinkles have the high zone all to themselves
19:50because they can take the heat and dryness
19:53until they get a splash of water
19:54and a bite to eat at high tide.
19:57Yep, this place makes sense to me now.
20:00What could be better than having meals
20:02delivered with each tasty tide?
20:05Twice a day, every day.
20:07Man, I'll never leave this place.
20:10I don't know.
20:10I could sure go over to my screen to top it off.
20:13We can't leave yet.
20:15What about Mert?
20:19It's a good thing Ms. Frizzle has her shellular phone.
20:24Carlos!
20:25Hello?
20:27Yes!
20:28Yes!
20:29Perfect timing!
20:30We'll be waiting.
20:31Who was it, Ms. Frizzle?
20:33Uncle Shelby.
20:34Actually, Dr. Shelby, the marine biologist.
20:38He always likes to return his specimens.
20:40Mert's on his way down.
20:46So long, little fella.
20:48Keep your foot out of your mouth.
20:55Welcome home, Mert.
20:56We saved your place for you.
20:59Yay!
21:00Way to go!
21:03Ready, class?
21:08We're going home.
21:22Hey, Ralphie, we're back.
21:24And we saved Mert's spot.
21:27It was a long and difficult battle, but I saved the perfect spot for us.
21:33That's great, but I still don't get why you're so excited about being right here.
21:38Easy.
21:39What makes a spot special?
21:41What makes a spot so good, it's worth fighting for against all odds?
21:46Well, to begin with, there has to be enough room for yourself, even if it's crowded.
21:51And you have to have the gear to handle the place you're in.
21:55And it has to be safe from danger.
22:00And to be able to breathe helps.
22:03True, all of it true.
22:04But the most important thing that makes a spot special is...
22:11Food!
22:13And now that the ice cream truck's here, who's first in a line?
22:18Yay!
22:19Ice cream!
22:24Well, as I always say, picking the right place does have its rewards.
22:42Is this the magic school bus?
22:43Is this the magic school bus?
22:45Magic school bus?
22:45Magic's a magic school bus.
22:47What do you mean?
22:47Magic school bus?
22:48Magic school bus?
22:49Magic school bus?
22:50Magic school bus?
22:52I want the magic school bus!
22:54I want the magic school bus!
23:13Hey, Liz.
23:14Hey, come on.
23:15Let's walk along the beach and see what we can find.
23:19You'll love it.
23:20Let's go.
23:29Chill out, Liz.
23:30It's just a wave moving the water in and out.
23:33Oh, look at...
23:35Oh, here.
23:36Could you hold on to that?
23:39Hello, Magic School Bus.
23:43The things you find on a beach.
23:45Do mussels and sea stars and barnacles really live in separate zones?
23:49Or were you just doing that because it made a better story?
23:53No, it's true.
23:54Sometimes the zones aren't as clear as we showed, but you can still see them if you look carefully.
24:07These zones aren't only on rocks, but on piers and pilings at the shores.
24:13Everywhere they pick places to live, according to how well they can cope with the changes of the tide.
24:20Thanks for calling.
24:27Hey, Liz, you want some help with that stuff?
24:31I think you better leave that snail there, Liz.
24:34All these plants and animals are well-suited for their particular places on the shoreline.
24:39But humans and lizards can accidentally destroy their homes and their lives.
24:45Better to take nothing but trash and pictures and leave behind nothing but footprints.
24:54Now let's go home.
25:08I'm the Magic School Bus.
25:10Surfing on a sign wave, swinging through the stars.
25:14Take a left at your intestine.
25:16Take your second right past Mars.
25:18I'm a magic school bus.
25:19Navigate a nostril
25:21Climb on the magic school bus
25:23Make a plain turn to
25:25On our magic school bus
25:28Wrap the river of lava
25:30On the magic school bus
25:32Such a fine thing to do
25:34So strap your bones right to the seat
25:36Come on in and don't be shy
25:39Just to make your day complete
25:41You might get baked into a pie
25:43On the magic school bus
25:44Step inside, it's a wire to ride
25:48Right on the magic school bus
