- PDF
Description
The Science Secret is a STEAM school musical using Sing-A-Long Science songs for grades 4-8. It addresses k-8 national science standards! For teachers and parents, It is a great way to "show off" your students' science knowledge at the end of the school year.
The script includes characters, props list, song sheets with chords, standards addressed, and performance advice.
S - science-based musical with Sing Along Science tunes using well-known melodies.
T - technology used in recording and editing performances
E - engineering employed in set design and construction of props
A - arts involved in creating sets and performing music.
M - math to compute ticket sales, revenue, etc.
This musical is based on brain research. Brain Research has shown how we learn best. When children are moving, they store related information in the hippocampus (Riding a Bike is stored in the hippocampus) When students feel attached and emotional, they store information in the amygdala.(Music is often stored in the amygdala.)
Information that reaches the hippocampus and amygdala is long term memory.
Your students may remember this musical, their teacher, and related science information for the rest of their lives!
Here's a plot summary:

A family goes on a camping trip, without the use of video games, cell phones, etc. The initially reluctant teens discover the wonders of the great outdoors and the value of preserving the environment.
The Science Secret includes a teacher’s guide with science standards and words for classroom photocopying. Your students will learn about classification, the elements, density, and a whole lot more that they will never forget! New from National Hall Of Fame teacher Warren G. Phillips!
