See 5 Great Science Music Videos For Elementary Students (Astronomy, Chemistry, Gravity & More)
Why Should We Use Songs to Teach Science?
Music is such an amazing teaching tool. It helps keep learners engaged. Music is also a great tool to help students understand and remember concepts. Research also supports the use of music in teaching children concepts.
I noticed that there are so many amazing learning music videos on Youtube in a variety of subject areas.
Below are five great science songs, excellent for elementary school students (or anyone who wants to learn more about science).
These songs even had my two-year-old interested in science. Once you know the songs, you can sing along any time to review the concepts.

Education and Behavior – Keeping Us on the Same Page with Research-Based Strategies for Children
Rachel Wise is the author and founder of Education and Behavior. Rachel created Education and Behavior in 2014 for adults to have an easy way to access research-based information to support children in the areas of learning, behavior, and social-emotional development. As a survivor of abuse, neglect, and bullying, Rachel slipped through the cracks of her school and community. Education and Behavior hopes to play a role in preventing that from happening to other children. Rachel is also the author of Building Confidence and Improving Behavior in Children: A Guide for Parents and Teachers.
“Children do best when there is consistency within and across settings (i.e., home, school, community). Education and Behavior allows us to maintain that consistency.”
