Have you ever watched the Science Symphony
videos? They are wonderful! The symphony combines music, information
delivered by some of the greatest minds in science, amazing pictures and
visuals, into 3-6 minutes of interesting and entertaining symphony. If you are trying to jumpstart interest in
science with your students, this might be a perfect way.
I found these videos quite by accident when I was
looking for some “science music” (although I’m not really sure what that would
be) that we could play behind an electronic photo album of students
participating in a science fair. The
Science Symphony popped up.
My favorite is The Quantum World which begins with
Morgan Freeman asking the question, “What are we really made of?” It goes onto discuss the fact that quantum
theory explains the world differently and describes the universe as being made
up of 12 particles of matter and 4 forces of nature combined in ways that are
hard to imagine.
Another one that definitely interesting is The
Poetry of Reality (An Anthem for Science).
This highlights numerous scientists who talk about the importance of
science. Carl Sagan, Jacob Bronowski,
and Richard Dawkins, all weigh in. Neil
DeGrasse Tyson speaks of being scientifically literate and how the world looks
different when you have this literacy and you are empowered to see new
things. Jill Tarter shares that the
story of humans is a story of ideas that shine light into the dark corners of
understanding. Brian Greene says that we
are all part of a larger universe of reality.
If you are interested in hearing from the most renowned scientists,
check out the Symphony of Science and watch it.
