The Magic School Bus + Rides Again Wiki

Arnold's right eye is the place the class visits in "I Spy with My Animal Eyes" to start their lesson on sight. They travel through all parts of the eye, and even shrink down to explore the rods and cones that make up his retina.

History[]

Similar to what happened many episodes ago in "For Lunch", Ms. Frizzle is planning a trip inside someone to start a new unit, and Arnold volunteers to stay behind, this time for a better reason - he has to watch Ratney, whom Carlos brought into school. Everyone except the destination of the trip crowds into the Magic School Bus, which transforms into a ray of light so that it can pass through the lens. In Arnold's right eye, the Bus and class float around in the aqueous humor, the jelly-like liquid that fills the eyeball and helps it keep its shape. The class also examines his retina, which produces an image of what Arnold sees upside down, where his brain re-processes it rightside up. Soon they shrink further and see the cells of his retina - rods and cones (collectively called photoreceptors). When Wanda suddenly hears Arnold scream, the Bus zooms out of his eye.
