Science In Song I

Science In Song I
Track List:

1) The Bones Song
The Bones Song targets the major bones and their functions and includes: cranium, immovable joint, scapula, sternum, clavicle, mandible, humerus, femur,radius, ulna, carpals, metacarpals, phalanges, tibia, fibula, tarsals, metatarsals, patella, and coccyx. Students enjoy pointing to the various bones as they dance to the beat.  This is a favorite skeletal system song among teachers, because it not only teaches the Latin names of the various bones, but it also teaches their functions!

2) The Muscles Song
The Muscles Song targets major muscles of the body and includes the terms: skeletal, smooth, cardiac, masseter, sternomastoids, trapezius, deltoids, biceps, triceps, pectorals, latissimus dorsi, quadraceps, gastrocnemius, and gluteus maximus. It also includes a description of each muscle. I use this one with a conga line! Elementary school and middle school students love to dance around the room, as they clap and sing to the muscles song.

3) The Circulatory Song
The Circulatory Song targets blood vessels, parts of the heart, and their functions, and basically everything you need to know about the circulatory system with a Jamaican flair and includes: arteries, veins, capillaries, deoxygenated, white blood cells, spleen, lymph nodes, tonsils, antibodies, hemoglobin, iron, anemic, valves, chambers, pulmonary, systemic, atrium, and ventricle. The best part about the Circulatory Song is that it teaches everything a student would need to learn about the circulatory system.

4) Digestive System Story
The Digestive System Story contains detailed vocabulary and their functions, as it travels through the mouth, teeth, amylase, esophagus, stomach, acid bath, chyme, liver, bile, gallbladder, small intestine, villi, large intestine, bacteria, waste and out with a rock beat. This digestive system song is a favorite among students, and it has an ending they will never forget!

5) The Blood Pressure Song
The Blood Pressure Song is designed to teach someone how to take blood pressure, using a standard blood pressure cuff.

6) Elements Song
The Elements Song is an easy way to learn 19 of the most frequently used elements on the Periodic Table and their chemical symbols and includes: hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, carbon, phosphorus, sodium, calcium, potassium, iron, gold, silver, cobalt, copper, lead, mercury, neon, helium, and krypton. Sung to a common tune, you'll find yourself humming the elements song hours after singing it in the classroom!  As with all the science in song music, the elements song also teaches function as well as name.

7) The Wolf Song
The Wolf Song is dedicated to one of the most misunderstood animals on earth. Shy around humans and highly intelligent, the wolf cries out his story to all who will listen.

8) Endangered Species Song
The Endangered Species Song is a tribute to the beauty of the earth and the wonderful animals God has placed in our paths.

It includes the nucleus, chromatin, dna, eukaryotic, prokaryotic, cytoplasm, organelles, endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes, proteins, mitochondria, lysosomes, golgi bodies, and vacuole. Students love to dance to the electric slide as they sing to this song!

2) Mitosis Square Dance
Listen to the dance directions as you travel from interphase to telophase. The teacher can call out the moves along with the song or just direct the students as the song is playing.As the song plays, the students “are” the chromosomes and centrioles and dance their way through interphase, prophase, equatorial zone, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.

3) Virus Song
This rock virus song contains all the vocabulary a student needs to know about viruses, including such terms as: mutatimg, protein coat, not living or dead, dna, latent, reproduce, vaccines, influenza, polio, measles, flu, and cold.

4) The Food Chain Song
Students can act out the parts of the food chain as they portray:  the sun shining, grass growing, mouse eating the grass, snake eating the mouse, hawk eating the snake, and energy. For the energy I usually have the rest of the class waving their hands every time they hear the word energy!

5) Electrons Flowing 1 by 1
Electrons Flowing 1 by 1- Learn all about the vocabulary of electricity. Terms with definitions include: electrons, electric current, insulator, conductor, Edison, light, negative charge, static charge, closed circuit, Edwin Watt, and positive protons.

6) Way Back Yonder
You can have students engage in an interactive clapping game of the history of science. Included are the stories of Galileo, Newton and his third law, states of matter, Roy G Biv, and Neil Armstrong. In this fun song students stand in a circle, with left hand up and right hand down, resting hands on bottom and top of those to both sides. As the song plays they gently slap their left hand onto the person to their right's left hand.  (I'm sure the students know this game!) The last person to be slapped when the song ends is "out". I set the song to repeat continually, until only one person is left- the winner!

7) The Drug Song
This drug song will rock you through the different types of drugs and how they affect the body. Included are THC, nicotine, alcohol, stimulants, depressants, hallucinogens, LSD, heroin and morphine.

8) Sail Away
The turmoil of driftnets, clear cutting, and pollution are contained in this rousing environmental song.
