Science and music. Astronomy and A Cappella. And the enduring popularity of Sesame Street shows that music can make learning fun.
Songs can help to explain concepts simply, and provide mnemonics to aid memory.
AstroCappella combines the love of music with the love of astronomy. There are many ways you can use AstroCappella. The lesson plans can stand alone, helping you teach your students about convection, how radio telescopes work, how to protect a payload landing on another planet, what scientists learn by looking for X-rays from the skies, and more. Or you can just use the music CD as a starting point for classroom activities. And they provide a springboard for you and your students to explore the Sun and the nearest stars.
