There's something dazzling in Ms. Frizzle's closet: a magical, light-powered pinball machine! To win at this game, the kids have to light up all six colors of the rainbow. Now the race is on, as the class shrinks down and zooms into the pinball machine. Catch an eye-full of fun as they try to crack the secret code of what makes color...so colorful!

Summary: A Review of MSB 'Makes a Rainbow'
Comment: The suggested ages for this video are 6 to 9, but my two children (boy and girl; 3 and 5) have been watching this series for about a year and they have ALWAYS enjoyed it.

Certainly, they might not have picked up on all of the finer scientific nuances, but I am *sure* that they have gained a foundation in a variety of scientific topics. Things that we can *build upon* later.

The Amazon Reviewer did an excellent job summarizing the plot, so all I will say is that a seven dollar prism bought at the teachers store can be used with even young children to demonstrate some of what the kids and Ms. Frizzle are showing them: that regular ole' light is composed of a spectrum; and that a translucent/transparent colored piece of a candy wrapper can act as a `gate' that lets only one color through.

Five Stars. This is a very good video and top notch edu-tainment.

**note: I would suggest you also buy the book by the same title. It goes into more detail and has pictures that make it easier to `see' and explain what is happening. In the video, even though they have `slowed down the light' it is still alittle too fast for young ones.

Comment: Learn how the colors of the rainbow work in this video. Best for art teachers and teachers, and kids! Play Ms. Frizzle's pinball game--and rack up some colorful points! Find out what makes the colors of the rainbow and how they become colors. Find out the prism trick and how to stall you principal! (hehe!)
