For parents

School buses travel approximately 4 billion miles and carry more than 25 million kids each year. Clean School Bus is a national program to help communities reduce emissions from older diesel school buses. One simple (and economical) solution: a policy to reduce bus idling while waiting for students at the end of the school day.

For kids

Motor vehicles—including cars, trucks, and busses—cause air pollution. So when you take a bus, join a carpool, or ride your bike, you are helping to reduce air pollution. Check out today’s air quality in your community and challenge yourself with the Access online professional development supported by NIEHS to learn about environmental public health.

For teachers

Ultrafine particles from vehicles, known as UFPs, can have significant effects on health. A Spring 2014 workshop, cosponsored by NIEHS and the Energy Future Coalition, highlighted some of the research on the topic supported by NIEHS and other institutions.

Tired of singing The Wheels on The Bus the traditional way? Perhaps it’s time to spice it up with the alternate versions above. Having seen the modern lyrics, let’s now see how the original lyrics were.

Full Original Lyrics

We refer to the first lyrics of the song ever published when speaking of the original lyrics. The lyrics aren’t what you see in the rhyme today and, of course, don’t follow the same melody we use today.

Here are the lyrics as first written in a December 1939 issue of American Childhood:

The wheels of the bus go round and round,
Round and round, round and round;
The wheels of the bus go round and round,
Over the city streets.

The horn of the bus goes “Too-to-too,
“Too-to-too, too-to-too,”
the horn of the bus goes “Too-to-too”
At the other buses, it meets.

The people in the bus go up and down,
Up and down,
up and down;
The people in the bus go up and down,
Bouncing off their seats.

 As you can see, the original version differs from what we sing today. There is no all day long or all through the town refrain. Instead, the last line describes the events in the whole verse.

WHAT IS THE HISTORY BEHIND THE WHEELS ON THE BUS?

The Wheels on the Bus is an American folk song initially known as the bus first appeared in print in the December 1939 issue of American Childhood.

It is popular in most English-speaking countries for several reasons the first being it keeps children entertained over longer periods of time than most rhymes because you can continue to add on verses as you come up with ideas. And secondly, you can change the song to relate to different themes and things which can be helpful when teaching children.

Who Wrote the Wheels on The Bus Nursery Rhyme?

Like all other nursery rhymes, the Wheels on the Bus is an old rhyme. It was first published in 1939 in a December issue of American Childhood, under the name of Verna Hills, who lived between 1898 and 1990. But whether she actually created the song herself or whether she just recorded the words for print from the oral versions heard in not known.

Little is known about the writer Verna Hills apart from her birth and year of death. That’s an entirely common thing for many nursery rhymes written in the early or late 19th century.

Why was The Wheels on the Bus written?

This nursery rhyme was intended to be sung by children while on the bus, possibly to while away the time as they went to school – although sung today on any type of journey and even when not on a bus but in a classroom or at home. We can therefore assume that it doesn’t have any other special meaning other than being a simple song, that was easy to follow and learn to make kids happy as they went to school.

Back when school buses had only just become a thing, children would spend a lot of time riding to school as the bus picked up children through the town. There were less busses then, and children had to contend with longer bus trips – although I would say many sit on school busses for quite some time even today!

That could be one reason the song was created – to keep the children on school bus trips entertained.

WHAT DO THE WORDS MEAN? DEFINITIONS AND LESSONS FROM THE SONG

What Do Swish and Vroom Mean?

Swish, in this context, refers to the sound the wipers make as they wipe the bus’s windscreen.

Meanwhile, vroom is the sound of the bus’s engine as it moves through town.

What Does This Song Teach Children?

Besides the apparent lessons such as interpersonal skills and teaching your child to speak this song can teach children about so many things which is why it is a preschool favorite.

In the first place, it can teach a child the names of a bus’s sounds and features. Features such as wheels, wipers, and doors and their sounds which are things that children might not know.

Also, the Wheels on The Bus Rhyme can teach a child about the purpose of a bus – that there is a driver, you pay for a ticket, and there are a variety of people who use a bus. It helps develop the concept of transportation.

Then of course, if you change the words to animals for example you can explore in a fun way all the animals that live on a farm or in the ocean or a jungle and the noises they make or how they move!

Lastly, it is very easy to add actions to this song which then helps to develop children’s motor skills and the development of the neural pathways for movement and coordination. When saying the wheels go round and round, you can make round actions with your arms, your can swish them like windscreen wipers, pretend to beep the horn, bounce up and down in your chair or wipe your eyes like a crying baby.

INTERESTING FACTS & QUESTIONS ANSWERED

Is The Wheels on the Bus in the Public Domain?

Most people believe that The wheels on the Bus nursery rhyme is public domain because although credited to Verna Hill, the nursery rhyme doesn’t have a confirmed author that owns the copyright. The haziness presumably makes it a public domain song like the other nursery rhymes.

The general copyright consensus is that music published prior to 1926 is public domain -but as the song was first seen in print in 1939 this could interfere with it being so – but really – no one is sure if the same applies to the Wheels on the bus – having no confirmed author.

It is always best to confirm copyright laws with the authorities in your area fo the world before releasing your version of a nursery rhyme where the copyright is not clear!

What Age Group of Children Is the Wheels on The Bus Rhyme Perfect For?

The Wheels on the Bus rhyme is perfect for children from 1. 5yrs onwards. As you sing it with the child, you can also integrate hand motions for various verses in the song alongside gestures to teach the child about new things.

That, however, doesn’t mean you can’t sing the song to a one-week-old baby. You’re free to sing away to a child of any age, provided they love the song. However, older children aged 3 to 7 years might better relate to the song as they might have more worldly experience with buses or transport.

THE WHEELS ON THE BUS INSPIRED LESSON PLANS

All nursery rhyme songs aim to teach children new lessons as they grow. For that reason, there are several lessons plans you can use with these nursery rhymes.

The following is a selection of Lesson Plans that I have found inspired by the Wheels on The Bus Nursery Rhyme. Other websites host all the lessons, so you must click on the images to learn more and download their resources.

What Songs Share a Melody with Wheels on The Bus?

The Wheels on the Bus shares a melody and tune with another nursery rhyme. We Go Round the Mulberry Bush. However, the former wasn’t originally sung in the same way as the latter.

That must have been a development that happened over the years to incorporate the new lyrics and make them enjoyable. Despite the two songs sharing the same tune, they aren’t the same. They have different lyrics and teach different lessons.

  • What is ABS and why it has become mandatory for modern cars

Author: Alexey Kokorin

The abbreviation ABS, or ABS in Russian, has become absolutely familiar to the ear of every motorist. Some novice drivers know that their car is equipped with ABS, but sometimes do not realize what it is and how it works, until one day the brake pedal, when pressed, begins to “crunch”, vibrate and “shoot” in the leg. What is ABS, and why has it become an unspoken, and in many countries, legally established standard equipment for a modern car?

1. What is ABS?

ABS, or ABS, is an anti-lock braking system that prevents the wheels from locking when braking. If, during braking, one or more of the vehicle's wheels lock up and begin to skid, the ABS will relieve the pressure in the corresponding brake line and the wheel will start to spin again. If the brake pedal is constantly and strongly depressed, this wheel lock-unlock process will continue continuously until the end of braking and may occur several times per second.

2. Why ABS?

Even many of those who know what ABS is, sometimes mistakenly or not completely correctly imagine the main purpose of this system. The main mistake in presenting the ABS functionality is the belief that the anti-lock braking system is needed to reduce the braking distance of the car. However, in fact, its main purpose is to maintain the ability to drive a vehicle during braking, even emergency.

On a car without ABS, during emergency braking for an inexperienced driver, the control wheels will be blocked - which means that turning the steering wheel in any direction will not have any effect on the trajectory of the car: it will continue to move straight until it is restored adhesion of the front steering wheels to the surface. ABS solves this problem: by continuously monitoring the rotation of the wheels and unlocking them if necessary, it ensures their rotation and thus maintains the necessary grip on the road surface, allowing you to simultaneously brake and maneuver.

Another fundamental function of the ABS, which follows directly from the above, is to provide safe, uniform and straight-line braking on non-uniform grip surfaces. For example, if one side of the car hits a wet surface, a slippery lane or ice, and the other side is driving on relatively clean asphalt, emergency braking without ABS will cause one side to brake more efficiently than the other - and the car will immediately turn and spin in an uncontrollable skid. This is especially dangerous when driving in a turn, when a lateral force is already acting on the car: the difference in the braking efficiency of the wheels in this case easily upsets the balance.

However, the statement about the usefulness of ABS for reducing the stopping distance of a car is also true, but only partly. On surfaces with even and sufficient grip on paved wheels, skid braking with locked wheels will be less effective than braking without locking the wheels, and the stopping distance will generally be longer in the former case. In this case, the use of ABS really reduces the braking distance, preventing the wheels from sliding on the surface. However, on loose surfaces such as gravel, snow or sand, when braking without ABS, locked wheels dig deeper, creating an additional barrier in front of them, shortening the braking distance. The operation of the ABS in this case causes the wheels to rotate, preventing them from burrowing and thereby lengthening the stopping distance of the car.

“Impairs” anti-lock braking system and braking on clear ice on studded tires: a locked studded wheel “bites” into the ice, leaving furrows, and works at its limit - and if ABS comes into play, the wheel rotates with short slips, and the effectiveness of such braking will be lower. It is this fact that many “experienced” and “knowledgeable” drivers operate on, considering ABS a technological excess that prevents them from “controlling” the car. However, despite the increase in stopping distance, ABS retains its main advantage on ice: it makes it possible to maneuver and drive a car, and not just wait for the outcome by holding the brake pedal.

3. How does ABS work?

ABS has undergone a significant evolution over the years, but the basic principle and functional elements have been developed for a long time. A typical ABS includes wheel speed sensors, control valves in the hydraulic brake line, and an electronic unit that receives information from the sensors and controls the operation of the valves.

If a sensor mounted on the wheel hub indicates a sudden slowdown or a complete stop, the control unit instructs to briefly open the valve to reduce the pressure in the brake line and force the wheel to rotate. The process of polling the sensors on the wheels by the control unit and unlocking the wheels can be carried out several times per second - that is why the pedal “vibrates” when the ABS is activated. In addition to the three components listed above, the ABS may include a pump, which is designed to quickly restore pressure in the brake line after it has been reduced due to the opening of the valve.

ABS can have a different number of sensors and control valves: depending on their number, the so-called "four-channel", "three-channel", "two-channel" and "single-channel" ABS are distinguished. The number of "channels" is determined precisely by the number of control valves that can control the pressure in the brake line: if there are four, one individual for each of the wheels, then the system is four-channel, if three - one for each of the front wheels and one common for the rear the axis is three-channel, if there are two valves, one per axle is two-channel, and if there is one valve, then it is single-channel. Modern ABS, of course, are four-channel - the rest of the circuits are found on older cars.

It is worth noting that the wheel rotation sensors react precisely to a sharp decrease in the speed of this rotation, and can also transmit information to the control unit about a large differential difference between the speeds of rotation of the wheels on different axles or sides of the vehicle. However, the ABS operation takes into account the fact that the speeds of rotation of the wheels on one axle can be uneven even under normal conditions: for example, when turning, the wheels on the outside of the turn will rotate faster than on the inside.

4. Why did ABS become the standard for modern cars?

In view of the above, the answer to this question is now clear: ABS significantly improves the active safety of the vehicle. The modern driver is much less specific and professional than half a century ago: if once upon a time high demands were made on the driver, forcing him to be able to do a lot, now the car has become a household item, and driving it is made as accessible as possible for everyone. Accordingly, a modern car should be as convenient and safe to drive as possible, even for a novice driver with minimal qualifications.

Well, ABS in particular solves the problem of loss of control during emergency braking. The sudden appearance of an obstacle on the road makes a person instinctively hit the brakes. In case he entered the corner at too high a speed, the solution would be the same. Hooked on the side of the road - also braking ... In general, a person's natural reaction to the occurrence of a dangerous or simply abnormal situation is a sharp press on the brake pedal, and only then - perhaps an attempt to correct this situation with a steering wheel. ABS in this case significantly reduces the price of this error. Therefore, it is not surprising that, for example, in the European Union, equipping a car with ABS became mandatory by law as early as 2004.

5. What if my car does not have ABS?

If your car is not equipped with ABS, its operation can be simulated by a simple trick, which is quite obviously called “intermittent braking”. Actually, it is the possession of it that characterizes drivers with some experience: such a driver, having felt the wheels lock, overrides the natural instinctive desire to continue to press the pedal harder, and reduces the effort on it and begins to brake intermittently, pressing on the pedal with jerks. Such braking can be compared with the operation of a primitive single-channel ABS - only even an experienced driver is not able to provide such a frequency of “shocks” as electronics. However, intermittent braking still provides the desired effect, keeping the wheels spinning when slowing down.
