At the Walkerville carnival the class is running the Double-Trouble Cycle of Wonder. However, information technology doesn't piece of work for some reason. Carlos realizes that he is the chairperson of the ability-up committee and puts the plug of the Ferris wheel, just for it to brusque out. Ms. Frizzle arrives via pogo stick and gets the bad news from the class. The optimistic teacher tells them that the Ferris bike isn't the only source of energy, for that the globe is replete with all sorts of energy, and tells them to "detect it, harness it, and put it to work". And so Carlos attempts to call Mikey, his piddling brother who is wheelchair bound, to come to the rescue. But the form quickly rejects this, telling Carlos that Mikey virtually burnt the whole class the terminal time he helped out with the marshmallow smoker, which Dorothy Ann ended up having a rash. The grade afterward use a crank for the Ferris wheel. Just it doesn't budge, and the citizens are getting impatient. Wanda suggests a refund, but Phoebe rejects it because the money was for the benefit of the animal shelter. So the class reluctantly tells Carlos to call Mikey and the latter uses a mallet to slam the lever of the bell game with enough force to smack the bell high in the sky and cause a boulder from the edge of the overhead cliff to fall onto one of the seats of the Ferris bike, which begins to spin. Mikey arrives just in time and suggests falling rocks as the source of free energy to spin the Ferris cycle. If the people ride in one side and the rocks land on the other, then it volition crusade it to turn without hurting anyone. The problem is how to go the rocks to it. So Ms. Frizzle takes the class (with the exception of Carlos, who is told to stay to make sure the Ferris cycle doesn't get taken down) on a field trip to search for rocks. The Charabanc flies over a agglomeration of rocks in the form of a helicopter.
Their parachutes aggrandize and they land on the ground softly. While Carlos stalls the impatient crowd, the rest of the class garner as many rocks every bit they tin can, but for air current to blow their way. When Ralphie's cap gets blown away, Phoebe suggest that the wind could possibly have enough energy to move the rocks. So Mikey uses his wind wheel, as bike as 2 cans and Arnold'due south belt, to demonstrate the idea of making a conveyor belt.
Meanwhile, Carlos tries to tell jokes to the spectators, but they yell and hiss at him. Carlos calls and tells Ms. Frizzle to hurry up.
Mikey showcases his conveyor model to the kids.
With Ms. Frizzle's help, the class brand the conveyor belt to motion the rocks uphill. Unfortunately, the class comes across a river, meaning that the rocks sink under. When Mikey uses a raft to ride on with the rest of the course, the raft gets defenseless to a root protruding from the river, sending the grade onto a tree. Ralphie suggest that the class should harness the water to move the rocks since it had the free energy to move the form. Mikey shows the class what the h2o did to the raft, which is defenseless to a tree branch and spinning similar a water wheel, suggesting a water wheel connected to a spoon-similar catapult to fling the rocks up the mountain.
Ms. Frizzle arrives just in time on the Tugboat School Bus, and the course hop aboard. They make the water wheel along with a stick to hold the wheel, a spoon-like catapult, and pipes to curlicue the rocks through and onto the catapult to fling them upwards the mount. Unfortunately, the tension bar of the stick becomes jammed. Then Wanda attempts to loosen it, with Ralphie assisting her. The catapult finally flings the rock, along with Ralphie, in the sky.
Ralphie ends up dropping down to the basis and is saved past the Helicopter School Charabanc, which catches him with a cyberspace and lands onto the tip summit of the mount. The class and then notice that the rocks simply landed on that position and they have to fall onto the Ferris wheel. And so Ms. Frizzle calls Carlos, who is declining to go along the oversupply entertain every bit they abound fifty-fifty more than impatient; With every attempt Carlos does, they keep jeering, hissing and throwing their phones and stuff at him and they are well-nigh to continue a rampage and hurt Carlos. When the grade gets hot through the burning sunday, Dorothy Ann suggests that the class should use solar energy to motility the rocks. Using Mikey's rim of the wheel for his wheelchair, the class reflect the light to boil the water inside the water tank to demonstrate the making of the solar ability rock launcher, using a cannon, a large circular glass, and a large teapot for boiling water. The class' handmade energy organization works and Carlos tells Mikey that he found a new source of energy: Mikey Power.
The Ferris wheel works cheers to the rocks, and the class sells $700 for the shelter. The crowd finally calms downwards and thank you as they enjoy the Ferris Wheel. Ms. Frizzle and Mikey are and so seen taking a ride on the Helicopter School Motorcoach to take a view of the air current free energy system, the water free energy system, and the solar energy system. Ms. Frizzle thank you Mikey for his endless energy and the power of his imagination.
