Some Music for Science


Hello all,
I was in a classroom last week with students singing the Bill Nye the Science Guy theme song.  OK...I gave them permission to sing it, if they knew it.  The brief encounter reminded me music can be a great hook for a lesson.  It can also be useful in helping students recall information and encourage them to become more familiar with vocabulary.  Here are some of my favorites in no particular order:
Greg Crowther Music Links  Plenty available for Biology, Life Science, and Biochem.
Coma Niddy University Science Raps  Dark Matter, String Theory, Nanotech, Gen Science.
Educational Science Raps Great Water Cycle Rap.
Mr. Lee Gen Science, Earth Science, Life Science.  Huge fan!!

Rhythm Rhyme Results  Gen Science, Earth Science, Life Science (some require payment).
AGHS Lab Safety Rap FREE Lab Safety Rap, uses the Lab Safety rap from Rhythm Rhyme Results.
The Singing Zoologist  The name says it all.  May be better suited for elementary students.
Have Fun Teaching  Quite a variety here, including subjects other than science.
The Hurricane Song Classic song about hurricanes.
The Element Song Classic by Tom Lehrer.  Updated list, including elements Fl and Lv from 2012.
Mr. Edmond’s Density to the tune Popular  He has many other, mostly Physical Science, videos with visuals here.
I’ll save the Mole Day goodies for closer to the special date ;-).

Happy listening,

Mrs. A
