Here Comes Science - Music To Teach

So, maybe I'm living under a rock, but I finally got around to checking out They Might Be Giants' Here Comes Science. I heard about it when it first came out, but dismissed it as being aimed at elementary aged kids. Then I finally got around to listening to an old Science Friday episode sitting on my iPod that featured the collection. While listening I went to Amazon to buy the MP3 album but then Ira mentioned the animations that come on the second disk. I went over to YouTube and sure enough many of the videos are there. Below you'll find the song The Elements. By the time Science Friday was done I'd already ordered my copy. I can't wait to share it with inflict it on my students.

For more music to teach with you might want to check out AstroCappella.

AstroCappella is a marriage of astronomy and music, developed by astronomers and educators and professionally recorded by the rocking a cappella group The Chromatics. Many of the songs, activities, and background science materials are freely available on their site.
