Nancy Stewart

This In celebration of this year's national summer reading theme, I'm offering the most popular song from my CD, Sing a Song of Science. If you want more science songs, you can buy the full CD in my shop. Movement for this song is self-explanatory, but I like to talk a bit about energy before singing it the first time. Here are just a few facts included in this song, and ways you talk about them with young children: Old-fashioned light bulbs spend most of their energy creating heat, not light! Newer bulbs are more efficient because most of their energy makes light. You can feel them, and they are cool- but don't touch an incandescent light bulb- it's hot! You can't destroy energy, it just changes form, like from heat to light. That's why kids get hot when they're bundled up in the winter time, running around outside. They're changing energy into heat! You might also check out an easy non-fiction book on energy from your local library, or visit these fun websites for more information and activities.
