Written in styles ranging form reggae to funk to Beach-Boys-inspired surf rock, the songs in Go, Galileo! Showcase Mark Borrows' gift for pairing meaty yet memorable texts with catchy, singable melodies. That combination brings the sciences alive foryour students with songs that make physics matter, give Newton gravity, relay the relative relevance of Einstein s relativity, and point out that George Washington Carver is worth more than mere peanuts. A reproducible fact sheet introducing each scientist of concept is included, as are suggestions for correlation activities. Designed for the non-science teacher and requiring very little setup or outside materials, these may be used in collaboration with your classroom teachers to extend the cross-curricular component. Suggestion for building a Science Fair performance are also included, as arereproducible vocal parts and a Performance/Accompaniment CD featuring tracks so hot they're radioactive!
