The Science Songbook: February 2012
http://sciencesongbook.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Songs to make learning science fun! Monday, February 20, 2012. Sometime this afternoon, assuming that the Internet doesn't abruptly shut down, my Periodic Table Song is going to hit one hundred thousand views! I haven't figured out what to do about the two new elements that should be approved in a few months, though. it may require an addendum rather than a rewrite. In the meantime, they are mentioned in the video (but not the song) of the revised version:. Saturday, February 18, 2012. Song Contest. ...

The Science Songbook: October 2011
http://sciencesongbook.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Songs to make learning science fun! Saturday, October 29, 2011. More Ear Training Songs. I've been slow to post recently, but I've been trying to keep up with my teaching duties and my muse. Lately, the latter has been urging me towards songs that help teach or reinforce concepts in ear training. This involves math and proportion, and thus is perhaps not entirely out of place on this site. I've already posted others of my music education songs. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

The Science Songbook: November 2011
http://sciencesongbook.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Songs to make learning science fun! Saturday, November 5, 2011. Demonstrating or just showing off? All this leaves us with a question. Is it worthwhile to memorize the table, when we can easily pull one up anytime we need one? Perhaps not. But it is a fun exercise, a chance to practice one's memory skills, and a reason to spend a nice little chunk of time with the elements and how they relate to each other. It can also help to reinforce the connection between symbols and names. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

The Science Songbook: August 2014
http://sciencesongbook.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Songs to make learning science fun! Friday, August 8, 2014. I had the good fortune to run into Shanil Virani at a party earlier this summer, and I was able to talk to him about some of the educational songs I had written. Dr. Virani is the director of the John C. Wells Planetarium. One of the problem areas was remembering the order of the planets in our solar system from the innermost to the outermost, and knowing basic facts about them, such as their relative sizes and basic composition. I also was unha...

The Science Songbook: September 2011
http://sciencesongbook.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Songs to make learning science fun! Thursday, September 29, 2011. Erosion: A love song for soil. This was the third (and so far, final) song in the soil cycle. I was pleased with this one as an educational song. I like how it parodies a love song as it explains the ideas of erosion and conservation, and once again names the components of soil. And I still like the way the music and lyrics worked together. Nothing in this song felt forced. Lyrics after the jump:. Wednesday, September 28, 2011. He had sent...
