Following on from a post on the Whiteboard Blog a few weeks back about Here Comes Science – the CD of Science songs from the band They Might be Giants, here’s another song from the CD. (via @BadAstronomer).

The song is called “Science is Real” and it would a good introduction to Science, or a good way to start off a discussion on scientific thinking

The CD is available from Amazon.com (and Amazon UK on import)

Here are some suggestions for music that could be used to introduce a Science lesson.

Scientist – Dandy Warhols
Birdhouse in your Soul – They Might be Giants (for electricity)
Particle Man – They might be giants
Ray of Light – Madonna
Man on the Moon – REM
The Sound of Silence – Simon and Garfunkel
Walkin on the Sun – Smashmouth

On a more classical slant, for Space check out the Planets Suite by Holst such as Jupiter, or for classification try Carnival of Animals by Saint Saens. Good cross curricular links with music too.
 

You should be able to find these on ITunes and most probably YouTube too…. although the videos may not be appropriate to show though (or accessible in your school)
