Ms. Frizzle takes the class inside Dorothy Ann’s book for a baseball game on a frictionless field, and chaos follows. Ralphie is dreaming big, the class is slipping sideways, and Sarah and Matt are trying their best to understand physics without becoming math people.


In this episode, we talk friction, gravity, momentum, vectors, energy transfer, curveballs, ice skating, invisible forces, and why the stories we tell ourselves might be one of the most powerful forces of all. Along the way, we ask what friction would look like up close, where energy goes when motion stops, and whether being a little delusional is actually necessary for getting through life.


Plus: Matt bravely confronts vectors!
