* ArtisticLicenseMarineBiology: While sharks and remoras have a symbotic relationship in real life, the episode glosses over the fact that remoras can drag sharks down with their weight if too many of them latch onto them, while dolphins are known to keep jumping out of the water to try getting rid of them. As such, none of the shark students feel slowed down when paired with their remora teammates.

* ThreateningShark: Subverted when the class turns into sharks, played straight when one wants to eat them. When half the class turns into sharks, including DA, they remain friendly to the wildlife. In fact the parasites are more threatening to them than vice-versa.

Added DiffLines:

DA is annoyed with Wanda, because they're partners for a class project and Wanda insists on doing things herself and her way. Ms. Frizzle takes interest in Wanda's toy treasure chest, and reveals one of her relatives buried treasure in the ocean. To find it, and to learn about animal partnerships, Ms. Frizzle turns the class, including Wanda, into creatures that form symbiotic relationships to stay alive.


Added DiffLines:

* BreakTheHaughty: By becoming the smaller party member of each animal partnership, Wanda finds herself forced to rely on DA.
* ContinuityNod: Wanda can outswim DA in scuba gear because she participates in more sports.
* EverythingIsTryingToKillYou: This is true in the ocean, where octopi eat hermit crabs, sharks go after little fish, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking parasites feed on larger sharks]].
* {{Foil}}: DA is someone who likes BotheringByTheBook and to work in teams. Wanda, a LeeroyJenkins character from day one, insists that IWorkAlone until Ms. Frizzle forces her to go otherwise.


Added DiffLines:

* IWorkAlone: Wanda doesn't like being partnered with DA because she believes the latter is too slow and hindering her.
* NotSoAboveItAll: ''[[LamePunReaction Keesha]]'' makes a pun about the shark parasites "bugging" her.
* PlotArmor: The coral reef cave-in doesn't hurt Wanda or DA in animal form.
* ThreateningShark: Subverted when the class turns into sharks, played straight when one wants to eat them. When half the class turns into sharks, including DA, they remain friendly to the wildlife. In fact the parasites are more threatening to them than vice-versa.
* TreasureMap: Ms. Frizzle has one that leads to her ancestor's treasure.
* WorthlessTreasureTwist: Downplayed. The box contains no riches, but it has a portrait of Ms. Frizzle's relative, and a model ship with the bus's lever. It allows it to change into various objects, like the bus.
