* TheDayTheDinosaursDied:
** In the book ''The Magic School Bus In the Time of the Dinosaurs'', the Magic School Bus travels across the different periods of the dinosaurs, from the Triassic to the Jurassic and finally to the Cretaceous. The very last stop before present day is witnessing the falling meteor that wiped out the dinosaurs.
** Subverted in "[[Recap/TheMagicSchoolBusS2E3TheBusasaurus The Busasaurus]]". The episode does showcase the meteor that wiped out the dinosaurs, but only in a RewindGag where all the fallen trees rise back up and the meteor goes back into outer space. As the time traveling Magic School Bus finally stops, Ms. Frizzle reveals to the class that they travelled sixty-''seven'' millions years into the past, meaning that the class won't be seeing any meteor action for another million years or so.

* EurekaMoment: In "Shows and Tells", which focuses on archaeology, Arnold runs out of prep time and is forced to take the stage for show-and-tell while the rest of the class is still puzzling out the purpose of the mysterious hoop he brought. After a bit of stalling for time by talking about several theories from earlier in the episode, Liz tosses an arrow with a matching design through the hoop, letting Arnold make the connection that gets him to the artifact's purpose on his own.

%% Administrivia/ZeroContextExample * AllLoveIsUnrequited: Obviously a low-key example. Since it is a children's educational show centered around 3rd graders, it's not surprising that there's not much romance. At the least though, Carlos is obviously interested in Dorothy-Ann, who is too focused on her studies to care. Arnold has a crush on Wanda, who more or less just teases him, while Phoebe has an obvious crush on Arnold that he is {{oblivious to|Love}}; meanwhile the quiet Tim seems to have an interest in Phoebe.
%% Administrivia/ZeroContextExample ** If you really want to stretch things and bring it full circle, Wanda seems to like Carlos Bad Boy attitude, Keesha is often impressed by Tim's ingenuity, Ralphie enjoys teasing Keesha and Ralphie and Dorothy-Ann bonded during the baseball episode. The chain therefore goes: Dorothy-Ann > Carlos > Wanda > Arnold > Phoebe > Tim > Keesha > Ralphie > Dorothy-Ann.
