Science Songs and Stories
by Kathleen Carroll
Zephyr Press, 1999
ISBN 156976090XDr. Kathleen Carroll, author of Science for Every Learner, and Sing a Song of Science, is a twenty-one year veteran science teacher in urban schools. She has received the Presidents Medal of Excellence in Teaching from Trinity College, an award from the National Science Teachers Association, and has coached two world-winning teams for Odyssey of the Mind. She has just published a new book and CD, Science Songs and Stories for the Big Questions. The book has words and musical scores that can be duplicated for classroom use. The CD has ten songs and five stories on the scientific method, sound, metric measurement, electricity, living things, plants, adaptations, the food chain and monarch butterflies. Through a variety of blues, hip hop, country and classical music, students have fun as they learn important scientific concepts. Before writing was introduced, songs and stories were the primary ways that knowledge was passed on from one generation to another. While they are two of the most powerful learning tools that exist, songs and stories have not been sufficiently used to facilitate learning for students of all ages. These outstanding new materials will see that they are!
