Well, I’m cold-blooded, check it and see.

I keep changing to a different degree.

When it’s hot, I just stay in the shade.

I’m cold-blooded, cold-blooded.

Hey you know, climate is the key;

It’s a matter of degree. I move from zone to

zone.

You may have your reasons To like the change

in seasons.

But I start to groan and get a chill in my

bones.

I lie in the sun – before I’m ready to have

some fun.

But when it’s cold outside – you know I have

to slow down and hide.

Cold-blooded, check it and see.

I keep changing to a different degree.

When it’s hot I just stay in the shade.

I’m cold-blooded, cold-blooded.

My name is ectotherm.

And you may have learned,We all need

energy.

But when you eat,Your body makes heat

But you can see, that doesn’t work for me.

I lie in the sun – before I’m ready to have some fun.

But when it’s cold outside – you know I have to slow

down and hide.

Well, I’m cold-blooded, check it and see.

I keep changing to a different degree.

When it’s hot I just stay in the shade.

I’m cold-blooded, cold-blooded.

I lie in the sun – before I’m ready to have some fun.

But when it’s cold outside – you know I have to slow

down and hide.

Well, I’m cold-blooded, check it and see.

I keep changing to a different degree.

When it’s hot I just stay in the shade.

I’m cold-blooded, cold-blooded.

Cold-blooded – I’m a fish in the sea.

Cold-blooded – I’m a frog in a tree.

Cold – blooded – I’m a snake in the sand.

Cold-blooded – I’m a fly on your hand.

Cold-blooded, cold-blooded.

Now heat can move around from place to

place.

It can even burn your skin when the sun’s on

your face.

Heat’s got three ways of moving’, count ’em,

one, two, three.

And they’re all in this song, so come on, sing

it with me.

Chorus

Get your molecules movin’, pick up your feet.

Get your molecules movin’, and then you’ve

got heat.

Get your molecules movin’, pick up the beat.

Get your molecules movin’, can’t just sit on

your seat.

Now, Conduction is just one way that heat can

move

Like when heat travels up through the handle

of your spoon.

Way on down at the hot end molecules are

really dancin’

And they bump into each other till the heat’s

up at your end.

Chorus

Well Convection is another way that heat can

move

Like when heat travels round through the air

in your room

Yeah air carries heat when it moves from

place to place

Just like your hair dryer does when it blows

on your face.

Chorus

Now Radiation is the third way that heat can

move

Like when the sun’s rays hit you in the middle

of June

You see they don’t need air to make their way

through space

Because they travel by waves until they hit

your face.

Sun a shining from its birth,

Dries the water, dries the earth.

A YELLOW bead shows its worth,

Water cycle boogie.

Evaporation, water’s gone,

To a vapor, won’t take long.

Choose a CLEAR bead,

can’t go wrong,

Water cycle boogie.

Clouds are forming drop by drop.

Vapor moving, will not stop.

WHITE bead shows us what’s on top,

Water cycle boogie.

Condensation, water’s here

No more vapor, give a cheer.

A LIGHT BLUE bead, like a tear,

Water cycle boogie.

www.valleywater

Precipitation, rain and snow,

Shows us water on the go.

A DARK BLUE bead, don’t you

know,

Water cycle boogie.

See the water moving fast,

Runoff on the ground at last.

BROWN bead also joins the

cast,

Water cycle boogie.

Transpiration from a tree.

Water vapor you can’t see.

GREEN bead shows it all to

me.

Water cycle boogie.

Some days you see the dark clouds rolling up

over your head

It makes you want to stay inside, and maybe

just stay in bed

But you must remember this my friend, the

clouds are a part of it all

Yeah, the deep blue sea and the Sun up above

together make the water fall.

Chorus: And we sing,

E---vaporation, Con---densation, Pre---

cipitation

And on goes the water cycle, yeah.

E---vaporation, Con---densation, Pre---

cipitation

And on goes the water cycle, yeah.

Evaporation isn’t magic, but it makes water

disappear

If you want to know how it happens, just listen

and I’ll make it clear

When the Sun comes out the water heats up

and changes into a gas

And the gas floats up and goes into the sky

and clouds are what we’ll have.

Now there’s something called condensation

That sounds pretty complicated, too

But, if condensation didn’t happen, the water

wouldn’t know what to do

It’s when water that’s already changed into

gas, cools down by and by

And it changes back into a liquid and makes

clouds up in the sky

Chorus:

Now the third part of this cycle that makes

water go round and round

It’s what we call precipitation, when water

falls to the ground

When those drops of water up in the clouds

get bigger and more and more

They fall down to Earth and the cycle begins,

just like it did before.

Chorus: (and)

E---vaporation, Con---densation, Pre---

cipitation

And on goes the water cycle, yeah.Taylor, J. P. (1998).ON Goes the Water Cycle. On

Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmania.com/

When you stand at the sink did you ever

think

About the water running down the

drain?

How it used to be in the deep blue sea

And before that it was rain.

Then it turned to snow for an Eskimo

To use in a snowball fight,

Then it floated south ’til it reached your

mouth

To help you brush your teeth tonight.

Chorus:

Someone’s gonna use it after you.

Someone needs that water when you’re

through.

’Cause the water, land, and air,

These are things we’ve got to share.

Someone’s gonna use it after you.(for the sake of time, let’s discuss…..)

When you sneeze like thunder did you

ever wonder

If the air you set in motion

Might have helped to form a tropical

storm

Way out in the western ocean?

Could have been blown out of a blue

whale’s spout

As he dove beneath the seas?

And now that air is in your care

’Til you’re finished with your

snee…ah…ah…ah

Chorus:

Like a wheel the world is turning,

Forests green and sky of blue.

It will turn that way forever

As the old is born anew.

Chorus: (x2)

“roY G Biv”

Be careful to hold the lenses

on the finger tab only.

Look at the light and

explore what you see.

R is for red

O is for orange

Y is for yellow

And G is for green

B is for blue

I for Indigo

And V is for violet

And that spells Roy G. Biv

Chorus: (x 2)

Roy G. Biv is a colorful man

And he proudly stands at the

rainbow's end (So you'll see him)

Roy G. Biv is a colorful man

And his name spells out the whole

color spectrum (So you'll see him)

(Let’s stop and discuss…)

You'll never see a unicorn

But you'll see a rainbow

And inside every rainbow

Is the spectrum of light

You'll never see Roy G. Biv

But he's inside the rainbow

'Cause inside every rainbow

Is the spectrum of light

R is for red

O is for orange

Y is for yellow

And G is for green

B is for blue

I for Indigo

And V is for violet

And that spells Roy G. Biv

Chorus (x 3)

Why do we see color?

Well when you see a rainbow, here’s a factWith seven colors, it is stacked.Red and Orange and Yellow, tooThere’s a Green and then of course there’s BlueIndigo – VioletAdd them all, and white you’ll get.Seven lights – They will givePlain white light. It’s Roy G. Biv!

A rain--bow is white light, just white light, just white light.A rain--bow is white light, just white light, just white light.Ha ha ha ha, just white light, just white lightHa ha ha ha, just white li-----ight

(interlude)

Reflection means when light comes inIt bounces back right out again.Refraction’s when the speed gets changedAnd bends the light. It’s rearranged!Reflect means bounce. Refract means bend.Light is scattered in the end.Darks absorb. Lights reflect.How can we keep it straight, o heck?!

Light is scattered, bounced or bent, bounced or bent, bounced or bent.Light is scattered, bounced or bent, bounced or bent, bounced or bent.Ha ha ha ha bounced or bent, bounced or bent.Ha ha ha ha bounced or be----ent

(interlude)

A rainbow’s white light; A rainbow’s white light(pause, pause) A rainbow’s white light, yeah!

A rainbow’s white light(pause, pause) A rainbow’s white light, yeah!

“lEt’s Get Into

this”

Chorus:

Photosynthesis, let’s get into this

Discussion of sunlight, and transfer of

energy.

Photosynthesis, let’s get into this

Process of chemical (yeah) reactions.

Plants take water, sun, and CO2,

to make glucose: the sugar that they use for

food

They also put oxygen into the air

So we can share, because oxygen is

everywhere

The energy transforms from solar to

chemical

All the time, everywhere, the process is

identical

In every plant, and every tree

Enabling all living things to be

Chorus: (x 2)

Let’s take a look at the light reaction

Making chemical energy when light is

captured

electrons flow through the photosystems

Flowing so fast you might have missed ’em

Within the chloroplast lies the action

The thylakoid membrane is where it happens

ATP and NADPH

Are products of light, water, air, and space

Chorus (x 2)

The Calvin cycle, or dark reaction

Doesn’t need direct sunlight for it to run right.

CO2 from the air enters the chloroplast

Mixing with organic molecules for the last time

With the help of the enzyme Rubisco

Carbon Fixation—I thought you knew this yo!

It forms a carbohydrate known as G3P

It’s created, recreated, and recycled you see

Chorus (x 2)

Leaves on trees and even weeds meet needs

Making oxygen we need to breathe

You want to learn it with ease? You want to

master the keys?

It's photosynthesis, listen to this please. (2x)

The sun is mass of incandescent gas, a

gigantic nuclear furnace

Where hydrogen is built into helium at a

temperature of millions of degrees

Yo ho it's hot, the sun is not a place where

we could live

But here on earth there'd be no life without

the light it gives

We need its light, we need its heat, we

need its energy

Without the sun, without a doubt, there'd

be no you and me

The sun is mass of incandescent gas, a

gigantic nuclear furnace

Where hydrogen is built into helium at a

temperature of millions of degrees

The sun is hot

It is so hot that everything on it is a gas

Iron, copper, aluminum and many others

The sun is large

If the sun were hollow, a million earths

could fit inside

And yet the sun is still only a middle-sized

star

The sun is far away

About 93,000,000 miles away, and that's

why it looks so small

And even when it's out of sight, the sun

shines night and day

The sun gives heat, the sun gives light, the

sunlight that we see

The sunlight comes from our own sun's

atomic energy

Scientists have found that the sun is a

huge atom-smashing machine

The heat and light of the sun come from

the nuclear reactions

Of hydrogen,carbon, nitrogen and helium

The sun is mass of incandescent gas, a

gigantic nuclear furnace

Where hydrogen is built into helium at a

temperature of millions of degrees
