What a genius idea! Kids are always humming or singing something…
So, why not have science lyrics running through their heads?
These "singing science texts" from Lyrical
Science make learning Life and Earth Science memorable and fun! There
are 4 volumes total, which enhance learning by integrating scientific concepts
into rhythm and song to boost engagement, improve retention, and simplify
complex information.
Even young children enjoy singing along! Earth ScienceVolume 1 teaches foundational geology through 18 songs. Life
Science Volume 1 gives a general life science overview of all living
things and the scientific method in 11 songs. Life Science Volume 2 covers
mammals, ecology, and biomes with 16 songs. Life Science Volume 3 covers
the Human Body in 11 songs.
Each volume of Lyrical Science includes a Textbook
and Workbook (chooseprint or digital download) and Song Album
(choose CD or MP3). Textbooks are about 90 pages each and begin every chapter with
a catchy song (sheet music & lyrics) followed by several pages of
correlating text to go deeper. Workbooks help solidify understanding and boost
comprehension with a variety of exercises (matching, fill-in-the-blank,
labeling, and comprehension & critical thinking questions). The lyrics –
set to old, familiar tunes – are really fun to sing! I mean who could resist memorizing
scientific terms and concepts with a song like this (to the tune of
“Clementine”)?
Man-y crea-tures have
different fea-tures
Yet all have a common
trait
With no back-bone
They are all known
To be called
in-ver-te-brate
For a full curriculum, use all 3 components together
(Textbook, Workbook, Songs) with hands-on activities and field trips to round
it out. This works especially well for upper elementary and junior high
students. Doing all 3 levels of Life Science before high school is a huge
advantage! Workbook pages and lyric sheets are reproducible for personal or
classroom use.
Lyrical Science helps you relax and enjoy the study
of science!
