In this issue, I came upon an article entitled, "Songs in Service of Science," written by Kathryn Hoffman. Within the article, she explains how science songs can be beneficial to students. At the end of the podcast, I sing two of the songs from the article. They are: The Linnaean Levels of Classification Cellular Respiration. http://k12science.net/Podcast/Podcast/Entries/2013/10/18_Middle_School_Science_Minute-Science_Songs.html From the Twitterverse: #mschat every Thursday at 8:00 pm Eastern Standard Time.
