science songs and videos (ptoe)
2009 October 11
Here’s a little post for my “science nerd” friends!
They Might Be Giants came out with a new science CD/DVD collection called Here Comes Science They Might be Giants! TMBG has always been a favorite band of mine and I find my little ladies loving them as well! Here’s a sneak peek video of their PTOE song- “Meet the Elements:”
Not a TMBG song but it is a pretty song and video about the water cycle.
Fauna is fascinated with this one! She wants to be able to sing it word for word. Good Luck Fauna!
I can’t even count how many times my kids have listened to these songs. Thanks SO MUCH for sharing!!
ha! I just heard the element song on “NCIS” like few nights ago. I’ll have to have the kids check out these.
I also wanted to thank you for the experiment with the ivory soap. J loved it and thinks that is the BEST science experiment she has ever done!
And of course she wants to do more like that one. 
What a brilliant set of finds – thanks for sharing them!
Oh wonderful. I love the way the elements light up in the final song. These are fabulous and goodness They Might Be Giants is a blast from my past. What a great-sounding album.
I just added this disc to my Amazon wish list! Thanks for posting these, I know Owen will love them and he still adores anything having to do with the Periodic Table of Elements
We have all just listened to these amazing songs, thanks you so much!
awesome awesome awesome! TMBG takes me right back to college. one of my best friends would love this for christmas. (ok, not homemade, but personally poignant!)
make a little birdhouse in your soul, my friend.

We love They Might Be Giants! I have their days of the week song on my Ipod, but I’ve never heard the water cycle song before. Thank you for sharing this!
We bought this cd two weeks ago and LOVE it! My seven year old walks around the house singin the songs all the time. We’ve even run across some of the topics in our science lessons and he’ll sing the answer!!
These are so cute. I remember when They Might Be Giants was our alternative music of choice in highschool. Discovering recently that they do children’s music was quite a trip for me!
Wow…neat! Thank you for the wonderful song links.
We have a wonderful children’s radio program here (based out of WXPN in Philadelphia) called Kid’s Corner. It airs every evening Monday-Friday from 7PM until 8PM (then it’s followed by alternative rock).
You can listen online here: http://www.kidscorner.org/
We love it! Not only do they play really great music but the host is amazing. They also host daily themed discussions. Some days it’s just kids calling in to chat, other times it is Library Day or Nature Walk discussions…and every Thursday is “Science Thursday.”
WXPN is a brilliant public radio station…if you dig alternative, heritage artists, folk, world music, and anything under the sun…check it out here: http://www.xpn.org
We are very lucky to have a local radio station this diverse!
