Giant Science

Continuing the educational theme, I was intrigued by this review of a music CD for kids about science.

For Here Comes Science contains a broad, inclusive and thought-provoking tour through science in all its facets. Songs like “Science is Real” (which explains how scientific beliefs are different from beliefs in unicorns and other beliefs formed without rigorous testing) and “Put It To the Test” (possibly the best kids’ song ever written about falsifiablity in hypothesis formation) cover the basics, the big Philosophy of Science questions.

It sounds like it’s quite meaningful. And to think, last I heard of They Might Be Giants they were singing about canaries in lighthouses and bees in bodies.
