Sticky songs : Singable science lessons. by Findaway World, LLC.(CARDINAL)345268; SchoolMedia, Inc.;
Adaptation: Safari Froggy shows students how animals have the fascinating ability to meet challenges in their surroundings through learned adaptations like finding water and learning how to stay well fed in desolate conditions. The physical adaptation of camouflage, that protects them from predators, is also defined.Animal features and their functions: Set to a familiar tune, these fun lyrics describe some of the many different animal features. Cute and cuddly animals capture students' attention and visually reinforce the lyrics. Featuring a singalong and karaoke section.Communicate: We didn't always have the internet! Students will learn how people used to communicate back before we had telephones, internet, and even electricity. A classic telephone leads this song by informing students about codes people would create and use with smoke, light, and sound signals.Conserve and don't pollute: Who better to stress the importance of reusing and recycling resources than Reese, the recycling bin? Reese will emphasize the point that it is our responsibility to recycle, and urge students to take action in order to prevent pollution and keep our planet clean.Energy (Sources): Our planet has a limited amount of fossil fuels, and Barry the Battery is here to teach students about the different kinds of energy resources we have. Students will learn of the importance of finding new, renewable energy sources, such as wind, water, and solar, that we can transfer into electricity.How plats grow: Come learn about the growth development of plants with none other than a flower herself, Miss Daisy! Students will be guided through the process of photosynthesis, aided by beautiful visuals of the natural world.Light: Watch the light shine and be blocked by objects, as we explore light energy. Bulbina the lightbulb will teach students how some objects reflect light, while others simply block or absorb it, depending on the type of object that it strikes.Magnets are magnificent: Get ready to learn about the effects of magnetic force! Aided by unique stop action visuals and magnetic fun, students will see how magnets can pull together, or push each other away depending on their poles.Mixtures: Mix it up with Funnel and learn what happens when you combine different kinds of solids and liquids. Accompanied by visuals, students will see how some solids dissolve in liquids, while some just don't mix together at all!Moving things: Sing alongside a rockstar as she teaches students how the force of gravity affects the movement of matter. We are encouraged to observe objects in motion, recording various factors such as friction, force and speed.Our home in space: Singing puppets, colorful graphics, and NASA footage come together to teach students about the familiar sights in our sky. Learn about the importance of the sun, some characteristics of the Earth, what causes day and night and the change of seasons, and how the moon moves. Lastly, see the importance of telescopes in revealing the mysteries of our solar system.Properties of matter: Colorful animations and fun, upbeat music engage students as they learn about the three states of matter: solid, liquid, gas. Vocabulary rich lyrics teach students how the particles in a solid, liquid, or a gas move.Properties: This toe tapping tune is lead by Hank the magnifying glass, teaching students how to observe and compare objects based on their properties. Hank encourages sorting objects based on similar, observable properties such as its color, weight, size, shape, and more!Ready for whatever comes: A stormy cloud and ecstatic lightning strike sing about what it takes to prepare yourself for all kinds of weather conditions. Basic needs such as food, water, shelter, and proper clothing are emphasized to encourage students to think about how they might prepare themselves for severe weather conditions.Sinking and floating: Wade into the waters and find out what kinds of objects sink and what kinds of objects float with the help of a quirky scientist. Factors such as density, mass, and gravity are introduced as they relate to buoyancy.Sound: This catchy tune encourages students to listen to their surroundings. A friendly guitar amp sings about the strength of sound vibrations, teaching students the stronger the vibration, the louder the sound will be. The importance of distance from the source of sound is explained.Stop and think about water: Arthur the water bottle reminds students all humans must have fresh water, and cannot drink salt water with the help of visuals of bodies of fresh and saltwater. He reinforces the fact that there's much more salt water on the earth than fresh water, and we must learn to conserve and use our water supply wisely!The ecosystem song: Miss Daisy is back again to teach students about the different kinds of ecosystems and their importance in being connected. With the aid of the sun himself, students will learn that although there are many ecosystems that differ from one another, they all need each other in order to thrive!The rock song: Get ready to rock out with this "rock" band while students learn how igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks are formed. Then slow it down as our singers, Graphite, Quartz, and Mica croon about their properties in this ballad. After the encore, beautiful images reinforce the rockin' vocabulary.There's math behind each map: Hop aboard 'yer ship, mates, and set sail with an ecstatic crew teaching students all about maps and how to read them! A singing treasure map mentions the legend and how to read it correctly to figure out the distance between two points on a map.Think like a scientist: Sing along with this exciting song about the scientific explanation. Memorable lyrics and energizing music teach the process, while student and adult scientists demonstrate ways to develop a claim, gather evidence, and apply reasoning. The program is played through a second time with Karaoke style words to assist kids in singing along.This is our world: Engaging animations and satellite footage transport students out of the atmosphere to view the Earth spinning in space. Colorful photography showcase children from all over the world enjoying our beautiful planet.Weathering and erosion: Let Rockin' Rocky take you away on an adventure around the world as we learn about how mother nature erodes and weathers away the environment around us to form what we know as Earth today! Rocky raps about how rocks and minerals can be removed and redeposited in a different place by water, wind, and ice.Ages 5-7.Grades K-2.
