Lyrical Earth Science Volume 1: Geology with CD

"Promoting scientific literacy through song" is how the clever folks who came up with Lyrical Earth Science Volume 1: Geology with CD describe this fabulous tool. We don't teach science in grammar school at Veritas, because teaching meaningful science requires certain language and mathematical mastery. Yet scientific memorization is important, and this is the tool to help.

In this earth science volume, the Lyrical Learning masterminds use more old tunes, like "Shenandoah," "Boll Weevil," and even Sousa's "Washington Post March" to help you learn foundational geologic information. To help you better understand the earth's surface and how its concepts fit together, they organized the 18 songs and chapters into three groupings: building up the crust and moving it around, what the crust is made of, and wearing down the crust. Just some of the topics you'll croon about—and later recollect—are plate tectonics, volcanoes, erosion, and igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rock. Sounds like a rock-solid family talent show lineup! Includes text, workbook, and CD performed by acclaimed artist Bobby Horton.
