But songs aren’t just for the youngest learners, as there are educational songs for kids of all ages and about all kinds of things! For instance, the Sing About Science and Math Project from the University of Washington provides an online database of over 7,000 songs covering a broad range of topics in technology, biology, environmental science, physics, chemistry, math, engineering, and medicine. Educators and parents can find lesson plans inspired by some of the songs in the database to support self-directed learners.
