Our Method
Our method uses music and lyrics to teach scientific concepts and information that will stay with your student long after the lesson is over. Success comes by providing a rigorous structure of information in a humorous way that involves everyone in the fun.
Rigorous
Our rigor comes from the content of the lyrics, which is really summarized information about each scientific subject. For instance, you’ll be singing “Oh Bacteria” instead of “Oh Suzanna” and “Cold blooded Vertebrates” instead of “When Johnny Comes Marching Home.” Several years ago, teacher Doug Eldon was having his sixth grade students work from a big, beautiful, new, thickly illustrated textbook. The problem was too many students couldn’t remember or understand what they had just read, even though they used the materials with hands-on activities. Students were overwhelmed by the amount of information. So Doug started whistling “Dixie” one day in the shower and soon came lyrics all about the scientific method. Eventually he had a nine verse song which he offered to those who were having difficulty learning, and to make a long story short, they understood and remembered the information, as demonstrated by the improved test scores (and their confident smiles). – From the Lyrical Learning website
