Talk about magic!

The Magic School Bus took some very important field trips this Earth Day, making stops at Marches for Science across the world.

As science lovers joined together at more than 500 events on Saturday to get their voices heard, everyone's favorite eccentric, fictional science teacher, Ms. Frizzle, became a prominent symbol in the resistance.

Dozens of science fans dressed up like The Friz and repped The Magic School Bus signs, proving even our most magical childhood dreams can come true if we're willing to "Take chances, make mistakes, and get messy!"

With Frizzle's red hair, unbeatable scientific style, and signature statement earrings, the references from the classic educational cartoon were hard to miss.

From the United States to Aukland, New Zealand, women set out to remind the world why science matters so much by donning galactic patterns galore, making colorful signs, and even showing some love for Frizzle's pet lizard, Lizzy.

Science is the coolest.
