{"pk":48065,"title":"Singing In Science: Writing and Recording Student Lyrics to Express Learning","subtitle":null,"abstract":"This article explores the use of lyric writing in elementary science.  It details an exploratory project in which elementary students and a professional musician collaborated to write and record lyrics at the conclusion of an inquiry-based science unit. What we found was that lyric writing when used as a summary reflection activity in science offers students a unique opportunity to uncover and refine learning.  The collaboration among students, classroom teachers, professional musician, and sound technician greatly contributed to the creation of a unique and engaging opportunity for students to express their learning through the arts in science.  Further controlled studies are recommended to determine the degree of impact on learning and long-term retention of science and music concepts.","language":"en","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"Lyric writing"},{"word":"science"},{"word":"recording"},{"word":"multimodal learning"},{"word":"inquiry"},{"word":"music"},{"word":"education"}],"section":"Arts and Technology","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/65w7t155","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Sara","middle_name":"D","last_name":"Nelson","name_suffix":"","institution":"Iowa State University","department":"None"},{"first_name":"Lori","middle_name":"","last_name":"Norton-Meier","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Louisville","department":"None"}],"date_submitted":"2008-04-30T07:00:00Z","date_accepted":"2008-04-30T07:00:00Z","date_published":"2009-11-25T08:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cla_jlta/article/48065/galley/36203/download/"}]}
