Breakdown |
TITLE: Planet Earth ARTIST: Chiq P NOTES: Earth Science Chapter 1 LYRICS |
Earth is big. To make it easier to study, scientists break it down onto 3 or 4 smaller parts: Geology, Oceanography, Meteorology, (and Astronomy). |
TITLE: Dude Longitude ARTIST: Jay Zed NOTES: Earth Science Chapter 2 LYRICS |
Latitude and longitude – horizontal and vertical - which is which? Listen to this rap about maps and you’ll never forget it again. …maybe. |
TITLE: My Answers ARTIST: Miss Zacharee NOTES: Earth Science Chapter 3 LYRICS |
This one covers a lot of important, basic stuff – atoms, elements, compounds and minerals. Silicate minerals (which contain oxygen and silicone) make up 90% of the earth’s crust. |
TITLE: iRock ARTIST: Any Men Em? NOTES: Earth Science Chapter 4 LYRICS |
The rock cycle. Liquid hot mmm-magma cools to form igneous rock. Sedimentary rock is made from… well, sediment. Metamorphic rock is formed through great pressure and/or heat. I ROCK!! |
TITLE: The Source ARTIST: KFCBK NOTES: Earth Science Chapter 5 LYRICS |
Our main energy source is the sun. A natural resource can be renewable or non-renewable. Renewable resources replace themselves quickly. Non-renewable take many years to replace. |
TITLE: Fossil Eyes ARTIST: Chiq P NOTES: Earth Science Chapter 6 LYRICS |
Evidence of life is preserved in fossils, and fossils are formed in various ways. “Fossil Eyes” will help you remember these ways, as well as some other important big words and related info. |
TITLE: Pangaea ARTIST: Yonique NOTES: Earth Science Chapter 7 LYRICS |
Jamaican party song!! The Earth is divided into 3 layers – crust, mantle and core. The surface of the crust is made up of large tectonic plates which slowly move and cause eathquakes. |
TITLE: Seismology Matters ARTIST: Any Men Em? NOTES: Earth Science Chapter 8 LYRICS |
Picking up where Pangaea left off, this song is about earthquakes, seismic waves and faults at the edges of tectonic plates. What is the Richter Scale anyway? Does seismology really matter? |
TITLE: Explosive Pyroclastic ARTIST: Miss Zacharee NOTES: Earth Science Chapter 9 LYRICS |
Shield, cinder cone and composite are the 3 types of volcanoes. Learn about how these are formed, and more explosively exciting stuff, in this little techno number by Miss Zacharee. |
TITLE: The Breakdown Of Rock ARTIST: Ninezero NOTES: Earth Science Chapter 10 LYRICS |
Weathering is the breakdown of rock! Mechanical weathering = physical. Chemical weathering = chemical. Go figure! |
TITLE: H2O Flow ARTIST: Jay Zed NOTES: Earth Science Chapter 11 LYRICS |
The water cycle is the movement of water from the air onto land into the ground and back to water sources. Jay Zed raps and retro-funks his way through the details for ya – “ooohh yeeeah…” |

TITLE: Speed ARTIST: Bram NOTES: Physical Science Chapter 3 LYRICS |
Speed = distance divided by time… Velocity, acceleration, force, friction – it’s all in here. One or two listens to this garage punk song & you’ll never forget this stuff – even if you want to! |
More Physical Science songs to come… |

TITLE: Life Science ARTIST: J-pup NOTES: Life Science Chapter 1 LYRICS |
This song covers some basic terms to get you started: hypothesis,experiment, data collection and analysis, etc… Take a listen and I promise, you won’t even know you’re learning. |
TITLE: It's Alive! ARTIST: Hiki NOTES: Life Science Chapter 2 LYRICS |
How do you know if something is alive? OMG - how do you know if you’re alive??? Wooooooo!!!… This song, about cells, senses, reproduction & growth, will help you make sure that you still are. |
TITLE: All The Pieces ARTIST: Bram NOTES: Life Science Chapter 3 LYRICS |
Cells are tiny, but somehow contain all the chemical pieces necessary for life. This crazy tune is about those pieces: Proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, ATP, nucleic acids and DNA. |
TITLE: Back At The Start ARTIST: Bram NOTES: Life Science Chapter 3b LYRICS |
In Part Two of this epic chapter, cells work with each other to make tissues, which work together to make organs, organ systems, & finally organisms. And me? I’m a multicellular organism! |
TITLE: ? (not quite done yet) ARTIST: … NOTES: Life Science Chapter 4 LYRICS |
A song about cells' energy sources... or osmosis maybe. Not sure yet, but the chapter notes are up for now. |
TITLE: Duplicate And Divide ARTIST: String Fury NOTES: Life Science Chapter 4b LYRICS |
A cell divides in two to make new cells, but first in needs to make a copy of its DNA. In fact, since you started reading this, your body has already made thousands of new cells. Go ahead - check and see! |
TITLE: Sex Cells ARTIST: GJ Mendel NOTES: Life Science Chapter 5 LYRICS |
Heredity is the passing of traits from parents to kids. Chromosomes, genes, alleles, etc – these are all terms that’ll become much clearer if you can sit through this country song! |
TITLE: AND DNA ARTIST: Miss Zacharee NOTES: Life Science Chapter 6 LYRICS |
Tons of stuff about DNA and genetics in this upbeat song: nucleotides, sugar, phosphate, & the four bases - amino acids, protiens... etc... Take a listen and you'll pass any test on this stuff. |
TITLE: Evolution ARTIST: Yonique NOTES: Life Science Chapter 7 LYRICS |
Populations accumulate inherited changes over time through evolution. Adaptations, vestigial structures, common ancestors, it's all here! Evolution - have you evolved lately? |
TITLE: Where Life Began ARTIST: Yonique NOTES: Life Science Chapter 8 LYRICS |
Kinda the same topic as the previous song, sometimes controversial, sometimes not. This is a song about finding your own answers & making up your own mind. Prokaryotes → cyanobacteria → eukaryotes (us!). |
TITLE: Six Kingdoms ARTIST: Litmus Sisters NOTES: Life Science Chapter 9 LYRICS |
Life can be classified into six kingdoms, identified by taxonomists as protists, plants, fungi, animals, archaea & bacteria. Or, identified by me, as P P F A A B... Now isn't my way much easier? |
TITLE: Bacteria Frontiers ARTIST: The Beefy T-2's NOTES: Life Science Chapter 10 LYRICS |
Bacteria are useful stuff - really, they are! Makes insulin, decomposes dead plants & provides nitrogen for living ones. See - awesome! Now, viruses, on the other hand... |
TITLE: Notice The Protist ARTIST: Miss Zacharee NOTES: Life Science Chapter 11 LYRICS |
Protists can be plant-like, animal-like, or fungus-like. Yea, I know what you're thinking - "Wow, what a diverse group of eukaryotic micro-organisms!" Indeed they are, my friend, indeed they are. |
TITLE: Fact Tree Plant ARTIST: Miss Zacharee NOTES: Life Science Chapter 12 LYRICS |
This is an uplifting little pop-rock tune about our old friend, the plant. Did you know about things like cell walls & cuticles, organelles called chloroplasts, and glucose from photosynthesis? Yay plants!!
