Teaching songs

Music is a very important part of our culture.  Children who can't remember their multiplication tables have usually memorized dozens of songs.   Other people have put the multiplication tables to music, and I will not duplicate their efforts here.  What I will put here are  songs I wrote as a teacher to help my students learn.  I have written more, and if your child needs one written to help memorize facts, I will gladly try to help.  Email me at leonasbraincandy@cheerful.com

 As a teacher I always felt compassion for those who had trouble learning.  As a result. I began putting important concepts to music, to help my students memorize. 

This song is short, yet contains the definition of biology and cytology, gives the two facts of the cell theory and gives the scientific definition of life

The tune is Mary had a Little Lamb

Biology

Biology, the study of life

Cytology, the study of cells,

All living things are made of cells

And cells come from cells

 

Living things have metabolism,

Reproduction,

Growth and movement,

They’re responsive to their environment

And have complex organization.

 This song was written to teach 3rd and fourth graders to find the main things on a map of the Western Hemisphere, so you really need a map to point to once the song is learned.  I added the three Island groups because all children hear in science about the Galapagos, and since there are only three main Island groups off of South America, I included them all

The tune is Three Blind Mice

NEW WORLD

Ice-land, Greenland

Can-a-da

United States

Mexico, Cuba

Central America

South America

Galapagos, Faulkens, South Georgia

That's the Western Hemisphere
