Get your students excited about science with The Singing Zoologist! This program explores the life cycles of plants and animals through music, multimedia, and storytelling. Monarch butterflies are the central focus, with video clips showing each stage of their growth and migration. Other songs highlight the metamorphosis of frogs, the work of honeybees and pollinators, and the role of fruit bats in seed dispersal. With catchy tunes, clever science, and plenty of laughs, students will sing, move, and learn about life cycles and adaptations.
