So, I came home from work today and said to myself, “Self, I wonder what mini survey we should conduct next?”  I know that I have had the “Favorite Subject” survey up and running for some time, but what should we do next?  That means I need your help.  Post a comment to this post and include your thoughts!  I will select a new idea and post it the beginning of June?

Who knows, maybe we’ll post a survey about our favorite scientists? Or maybe a survey about the coolest insect?  Basically, I need some ideas from you, the scientists of the world!  Let me know what you think and maybe we’ll get it posted here, or I can create a short video on YouTube.

Have a great night!

Hello world,

Just wanted to add a quick post tonight and say thank you to all of the students, teachers and parents who frequent the site and who have also subscribed to my YouTube Channel!  Let’s break 1000 subscribers by the end of the year!  My following is steadily growing and I plan to continue adding new content and songs!  Please feel free to contact me with suggestions or ideas!  I’m always happy to help!

What’s Hot???  I was contacted by a 4th grade teacher who is going to have her class use Heat Transfer (Hot2Cold) in their school’s talent show!  Is anyone else out there using the songs creatively in their class or school?  If so, please let me know.  I would love to highlight how educators are using my content!  Super duper awesome!!!!!

Have a great night!

So, Mister C and Mini C decided to make some artificial rainbow snow!  It was lots of fun and we will be doing a few other videos that highlight neat little science kits that can be purchased at local stores like Hobby Lobby.

Believe it or not, it is that time of year again!!!  Can somebody say, “Science Fair!”

“It’s Science Time, it’s hot, don’t stop!  It Rocks! We never get enough!”  :)  

I had the great pleasure to judge numerous science fair projects in my school district this past week and I must confess, there were some really cool projects out there.  I was most impressed by the research students conducted about their projects and topics.  I think many little scientists forget to take the time to do their research, but it is so very critical to having a great project.

Not only was the research done well, but I saw lots of great hypotheses.  That’s right!  A good hypothesis means that it is something that is testable.  I always worked with my students to make sure their hypothesis was something that they could test.  ”What’s the secret?” many people have asked.  Shhhh…come closer to the screen and continue reading.  If you think this is a good suggestion, then you should share it with a friend.

It’s simple:  Make your hypothesis into an IF/THEN statement.

*IF I change……THEN this will happen…….

By having an if/then statement, you always know that your hypothesis is testable.  If it’s testable, then you can collect data.  If you can collect data, then you can draw a conclusion.  Alright, alright….I’ll stop.  :)  If I stop…then folks may continue to read my post!

Have a great night and happy learning!

I am continuously trying to find new ways to reach out to scientists and mathematicians of the world.  I have had a twitter account for a few months and will be working to share more information about what’s happening in the wonderful world of science and math.

We are sooooo close to finalizing Fraction Action. Stay tuned!

A fun way to learn about the Order of Operations!

I happened to visit my YouTube Channel today and bam!….. 99,999 views for PEMDAS!  Super ultra cool and I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has visited either learningscienceisfun.com, www.learningmathisfun.com, or my YouTube Channel LearningScienceisfun!

I’ve been working on lots of songs and various projects and am trying to feverishly get them completed so that I can get new content up on the sites and YouTube channel. I’ll be Skyping with a classroom in Rochester, NY tomorrow and look forward to hearing how their math songs have progressed!

Thanks for your patience and support!

Have a fantastic holiday!

Mister C

So I know there are lots of folks who have been watching PEMDAS and using it in their classrooms.  Some teachers show it as a review, others use it to reinforce what has already been taught and some even use it to challenge their students to create their own math song.

*I recently had a Skype session with a school in Rochester, NY, and challenged the students to write and sing a math “holiday” song. I am excited to hear and see the results from the school.

*I was also contacted by YouTube user FiveDollStars who shared a stop animation video that was created and used the PEMDAS video concept, but redid the video using American Girl dolls as the actors.  Very clever AND very well done.  I’ve included the video below and hope to see and hear from other students and teachers who might be using my songs in their class!

Happy Learning!

It’s almost Thanksgiving and I wanted to make sure that I said, “Thank you!” to all of the scientists and mathematicians that visit my sites, post comments on my videos and continue to provide support!  Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

I recently posted Mister C’s “Hot 2 Cold” song on YouTube and included it below!  Have a safe and enjoyable holiday with family and friends.

Mister C

Well, we have some new and fun videos that we’ll be posting shortly about sound and vibrations.  We’ll be turning the videos into a mini song about sound and I have to be honest that YouTube’s Mystery Guitar Man was an inspiration to the upcoming video.  Who knows, maybe I’ll send him my video after its completion!

Hope everyone has had a great start to their November!  It’s almost Turkey Time!!!  Something is beginning to smell like a POD!  ~

Stay Tuned.
