Songs of Science CD
Music to
Rock Your Students By!
The songs from Beth's Rock Collection combine
science lessons with "hip" music. The music makes science more enjoyable and the
lyrics find a permanent home in students' brains. Beth Cook, a school teacher in
Blue Springs, MO, finds that the music engages both right-brained creative
learners and unmotivated, difficult to reach students. The ten songs include
topics about rocks, the periodic table, the environment, astronomy, the metric
system, number estimation, and the water cycle. In their July 25, 1999 issue,
Star Magazine writes, "Beth's Rock collection is a gem, a CD that students,
parents and teachers can all enjoy." Ken Dillon, station manager of KLRQ-96 FM,
says, "I love the music." Becky Craig, 9th grade student, says, "Ms. Cook makes
it fun by teaching us a new song each time we start a unit. Everyone has the
song stuck in their head and is singing it in the locker room, the hall and even
at sport practices! When tests are given out, you can hear the mumbling of
lyrics and humming of the song." We couldn't have said it any better ourselves!
You will love it!
