Science (and more) to Music

http://www.iamlodge.com/beans//?p=70

Here's a fun little site that enhances standards based learning with music.  It's based on the idea that students will learn and retain more with innovative practices.   This blog is meant to be a free resource for teachers and provide the following:

- Standards-based songs about elementary, middle, and high school topics

- Worksheets/activities to enhance the songs

- Discussion around the use of this curriculum

Dr. Lodge McCammon, the site's developer,  is a Specialist in Curriculum and Contemporary Media at the Friday Institute for Educational Innovation (www.fi.ncsu.edu).  He developed a teaching and professional development process called FIZZ which encourages and models best practices in implementing user-generated video in the classroom to enhance standards-based lessons.
