Traditional Christmas Songs and Science
As the holiday season approaches, I am reminded of some of the songs that I recorded with the group, Science Explosion.\xa0 All of the songs that we sang were written by group member Fred Ribits.\xa0 Many of the songs were written to familiar tunes and some of them were written to the tunes of traditional Christmas songs. \xa0
In this podcast I will share three of the songs.\xa0 If you enjoy them and want to share them with others, just visit:

There you will be able to listen to and download the vocal and instrumental tracks for the songs.\xa0 You will also be able to download a Science Explosion songbook that includes the lyrics, critical thinking questions, and mind-mapping opportunities for each song. \xa0
The three songs are most appropriate for elementary and middle school students.\xa0
1.\xa0 The first song will be a life science song entitled \u201cEnergy Flow\u201d (1:13) written to the tune of \u201cWe Wish You a Merry Christmas.\u201d\xa0
2.\xa0 It will be followed by another life science song, \u201cNatures Way\u201d (1:00), written to the tune of \u201cJingle Bells.\u201d\xa0
3.\xa0 The final song is a science practices and concept song entitled \u201cCreative Expression\u201d (1:14) written to the tune of \u201cWhat Child Is This?\u201d \xa0
Happy Holidays!
