Learn all about black holes with this fun and informative black hole song for kids! Packed with black hole facts, The Black Hole Song will teach you all about the three different types of black holes, how black holes form, and more. Enjoy! For more music and information, visit http://sillyschoolsongs.com Lyrics: Black hole, a region in space Where gravity is so strong, nothing can escape Black hole, you know that place Where matter is squeezed in a tiny space Black hole, a region in space Where stars collapse and fade away Black hole, you know that place Where matter disappears without a trace Ever wonder what happens, when a star collapses? A black hole! Gravity starts pulling, and all the matter gets trapped in, never to be seen again! Like water going down the drain, when you pull the plug in the tub it's insane How a black hole pulls all the matter around Into a region of space that can't be found A giant star casts out its outer layers Leaving the core, which collapses in on itself And forms a black hole Black hole, a region in space Where gravity is so strong, nothing can escape Black hole, you know that place Where matter is squeezed in a tiny space Black hole, a region in space Where stars collapse and fade away Black hole, you know that place Where matter disappears without a trace There are three types of black holes: Stellar and supermassive and miniature (Whoa!) So a black hole can be small? As tiny as one single atom (That's all??!??) Yeah! But they can be really big too! Supermassive black holes are the ones that are super-huge And then stellar black holes are the ones That come from dying stars much bigger than our Sun Sagittarius A is a supermassive black hole in the middle of the Milky Way We will never reach it, because we are too far away Black hole, a region in space Where gravity is so strong, nothing can escape Black hole, you know that place Where matter is squeezed in a tiny space Black hole, a region in space Where stars collapse and fade away Black hole, you know that place Where matter disappears without a trace Copyright 2018 Silly School Songs.

Kids will enjoy learning about the mysterious Oort Cloud with this fun and funky tune. This Oort Cloud song for kids explains the theory of this interesting interstellar phenomenon. For more music and information, visit http://sillyschoolsongs.com Lyrics: Can you tell us what the Oort Cloud is? It's a really big space bubble kids Can you tell us how the Oort Cloud works? Just a second, here comes the first verse Oort Cloud, strange little name We're not sure it's even there which is just as strange It's a theory of a really big cloud That surrounds our solar system all the way around Like a space bubble made of rocks and ice Some of the comets that you see come from it (that's nice!) It's way beyond what we call the heliosphere That means the Sun and all the planets are nowhere near! The Oort Cloud is a bubble in space that our solar system lives inside At least that's what the scientists tell us, but nobody really knows if they're right (It's a theory!) Can you tell us what the Oort Cloud is? It's a really big space bubble kids Can you tell us how the Oort Cloud works? Just a second, here comes the second verse Jan Oort of astronomy fame Came up with the idea of the cloud (hence the name!) He was also the first one to state That the Milky Way rotates (and that's great!) The Oort cloud is made of two parts: An inner disc and an outer sphere both really far away In a place called interstellar space Even though it's not confirmed it's the theory of the day! Double-O, r-t cloud We know what it is and we know how it works now Double-O, r-t cloud We know what it is and we know how it works now Double-O, r-t cloud We know what it is and we know how it works now Double-O, r-t cloud We know what it is, it's a big space bubble!

Kids will enjoy learning all about the asteroid belt with this funky and catchy tune. For more music and information, visit http://sillyschoolsongs.com Lyrics: There's a ring of rocks in outer space Called the asteroid belt, the asteroid belt It goes around the Sun like a big highway It's the asteroid belt, the asteroid belt Between Mars and Jupiter is where it dwells The asteroid belt, the asteroid belt It has millions of rocks from what we can tell It's the asteroid belt, the asteroid belt The word asteroid means star-like William Herschel gave them that name when he observed them on a dark night And they exist in a disc in the inner Solar System Where they drift and even get into collisions On occasion and they break into pieces Adding to the asteroid population And now there's millions of them in the belt 200 million miles from the Sun, they're not gonna melt! There's a ring of rocks in outer space Called the asteroid belt, the asteroid belt It goes around the Sun like a huge highway The asteroid belt, the asteroid belt Between the orbits of Jupiter and Mars It's the asteroid belt, the asteroid belt It's circumstellar, because it circles a star The asteroid belt, the asteroid belt One asteroid in particular, Ceres Is the largest in the Inner Solar System (Clearly!) They also call it a dwarf planet Of all the mass in the asteroid belt, it's 33 percent! But then there's Vesta, Pallas and Hygiea Second, third and fourth largest is the idea Altogether they make up about half Of the asteroid belt's mass, see ya later class! What's that ring of rocks in outer space? It's the asteroid belt, the asteroid belt It orbits the sun like a big highway It's the asteroid belt, the asteroid belt Hanging out between Jupiter and Mars It's the asteroid belt, the asteroid belt If the belt is a highway the asteroids are cars on The asteroid belt, the asteroid BELT!!!!

Kids will learn all kinds of fun facts about the Kuiper Belt with this upbeat, jazzy/bluesy tune. Hope you enjoy it! For more info and music, visit http://sillyschoolsongs.com Lyrics: The Kuiper Belt is a ring of icy objects in space (A whole bunch of rocks and ice!) It's not a belt that you can wear around your waist (It doesn't even have a buckle!) It's in the outer solar system, and it has a doughnut shape (Too bad there's no jelly!) The Kuiper Belt is 4 billion miles from the Sun (That's a loooong way away!) Scientists still don't know how it was formed (All they can do is guess!) It's that icy cold place that all the plutinos call home (Including Pluto, it's the largest, baby!) New Horizons is the first mission to the Kuiper Belt (It's all about that flyby) It's the place where Pluto Haumea and Makemake dwell (We call 'em the dwarf planets!) More than 100,000 KBOs are hanging out there (FYI, that stands for Kuiper Belt Objects!) Gerard Kuiper is the astronomer for which it was named (Kenneth Edgeworth helped out too) Fragments of rock and ice are what it contains (Not a whole lot going on out there) The main ingredients are ammonia, water and methane (Keyboard solo time!)

Learn all about what a solar eclipse is with this fun and whimsical tune. The Solar Eclipse Song teaches basic facts about this amazing natural phenomenon. This song mainly focuses on total solar eclipses, because let's face it--they're the coolest ones. Enjoy! For more music and info, visit http://sillyschoolsongs.com Lyrics: What's a solar eclipse, you say? It's a cool trick that nature plays It's when the Moon happens to find its way Between the Earth and the Sun (All up in the middle) Eclipses have been going on a really long time Before science came along it used blow people's minds They would freak out and think that the world was gonna end I can imagine I would too if the Sun went dim And no one could tell me what in the world was going on!!! (That would be so crazy) So a solar eclipse you see Is a natural phenomenon and nothing scary The moon has to be at perigee For it to happen at all (If it's gonna happen that's the only way) If you're not familiar with that word (Perigee) It's the closest that the Moon gets to the Earth The opposite is apogee, which is the word For when it's farthest away (hey, hey) A total eclipse is when the moon's silhouette Seems bigger than the Sun but lest we forget The Sun is still a lot bigger it's just farther away And an eclipse is cool, so it's really okay It doesn't matter which one is bigger anyway They're all special in their own way (That's the truth, yeah) Hope you enjoyed this song about solar eclipses...

This song is all about the Milky Way galaxy--you know, the one we all live in. 🙂 This Milky Way song for kids is full of fun and interesting facts about the Milky Way galaxy, and it's a pretty catchy tune as well. Hope you enjoy it! For more music and info, visit http://sillyschoolsongs.com Lyrics: Let's take a journey through the Milky Way (Milky Way) What discoveries can we make today (make today) A spiral galaxy with planets and stars (planets and stars) Just don't confuse it with the candy bar (candy bar) The Milky Way is a galaxy Stars, dust and gas bound together by gravity And it spins like a pinwheel The Orion Arm is where our solar system chills And it's rotating pretty fast 10,000 miles an hour (But what about solar mass?) It's the size of 100 billion suns And it's made of several swirling arms The Milky Way sounds kinda dreamy But it's a mass of space stuff not sweet and creamy Like the candy bar with the caramel and the nougat It's a barred spiral galaxy with stars running through it By the billions, nobody knows just how many Suffice it to say, there are stars aplenty And it's 100,000 light years wide That's trillions of miles from side to side Let's take a journey through the Milky Way (Milky Way) What discoveries can we make today (make today) A spiral galaxy with planets and stars (planets and stars) Just don't confuse it with the candy bar (candy bar) Announcer Guy: Astronomers used to think that the Milky Way contained all the stars in the Universe, But after 1920 it was discovered that the Milky Way is just one of many galaxies! The center of the Milky Way is a riddle There's a really strong radio source in the middle Sagittarius A* is what it's called It's a supermassive black hole It's very dense because of its gravitation And it gives off electromagnetic radiation But don't worry, Planet Earth is safe Because we're 26,000 light-years away! Let's take a journey through the Milky Way (Milky Way) What discoveries can we make today (make today) A spiral galaxy with planets and stars (planets and stars) Our song is done, so let's eat that candy bar (candy bar) Copyright 2017 Silly School Songs.

Learn all about the dwarf planet Orcus with this funky yet mellow groove. Orcus is a pretty mysterious dwarf planet in the Kuiper Belt...we don't know that much about Orcus the dwarf planet yet, but what we do know, we put into a song for your enjoyment. Hope you like it! Lyrics: Orcus, the dwarf planet We don't really know that much about you yet The Kuiper Belt is where you're found Yet another dwarf discovered by Michael Brown Orcus, the dwarf planet We don't really know that much about you yet You're a trans-Neptunian plutino And here's a couple more things that we know Are you talkin' about orcas? Like killer whales? No, Orcus the dwarf planet! 90482 No it's not a ZIP code, it's the number that they gave you (Orcas) First spotted by the Palomar Observatory Just some background in case you haven't heard the story Michael Brown, Chad Trujillo And David Rabinowitz were like the Three Amigos They discovered this plutino in 2004 They named it Orcus after Etruscan folklore He was the god of the underworld, a bad dude Judging by his face, he was always in a bad mood But anyway, Orcus has one moon Called Vanth for the goddess of death (Sounds like fun, too) It's a plutino, that means it's bound By the gravity of Neptune as they both go around the Sun And Orcus takes a long time to make the trip 247 years (Really?) Legit! At over 600 miles across Orcus orbits the Sun like a Kuiper Belt boss! Orcus, the dwarf planet We don't really know that much about you yet The Kuiper Belt is where you're found Yet another dwarf discovered by Michael Brown Orcus, the dwarf planet We don't really know that much about you yet You're a trans-Neptunian plutino And that's pretty much what we know Copyright 2017 Silly School Songs.

A fun song I wrote for my students while we were learning about solar eclipses- of course this was in preparation for the total solar eclipse that will occur on august 21, 2017. LYRICS Momma screamed, It’s really weird! The sun is gone, It’s disappeared, It was here, but now it’s done, I’m sure gonna’ miss that yellow sun! We all yelled, Oh Mom, gee whiz, The sun is where it always is! It’s just tucked in, behind the moon, The sun will be back very soon! So listen Mom, Just read our lips, Just say it twice- Solar Eclipse So listen Mom, Just read our lips, Just say it twice- Solar Eclipse Solar Eclipse Solar Eclipse Solar Eclipse Solar Eclipse The sun’s sitting back, behind the moon, But it’s gonna’ be front center, really soon! The sun’s sitting back, behind the moon, But it’s gonna’ be front center, really soon! Daddy screamed, The sun went dark, How will I take you to the park? I’ll sure miss it’s rays so gold… Without the sun it’ll be so cold, Daddy listen, don’t get sad, The sun’s still shining, you’ll soon get glad… The moon’s between the sun and us, Blocks are view, so let’s discuss (don’t make a fuss…) So listen dad, Just read our lips, Just say it twice- Solar Eclipse So listen dad, Just read our lips, Just say it twice- Solar Eclipse Solar Eclipse Solar Eclipse Solar Eclipse Solar Eclipse The sun’s sitting back, behind the moon, But it’s gonna’ be front center, really soon! The sun’s sitting back, behind the moon, But it’s gonna’ be front center, really soon! Teacher said the sun blew out, We all began to yell and shout, You’re a really silly guy, A solar eclipse is in the sky! Blown out sun, You’ve gone too far, Sun’s still a big gas burning star, The sun’s been blocked out, by the moon, Sun’s shine will be back very soon! So listen teach, Just read our lips, Just say it twice- Solar Eclipse So listen teach, Just read our lips, Just say it twice- Solar Eclipse Solar Eclipse Solar Eclipse Solar Eclipse Solar Eclipse

However, it may be fun to make your own Curiosity Rover with an old RC car or even try building one out of Lego?! Take your rover on adventures and pretend to explore the surface of Mars! Experiment 6 - Tornado in a Bottle for Jupiter Find two plastic 1 litre bottles and fill one with water (add glitter and colour for fun?!). With your second empty bottle, tape the two nozzles together with very strong tape. When your ready for your tornado turn the bottles over, swirl the water slightly and watch the tornado as the water drains from one bottle into the other! Experiment 7 - Saturn Spinner for Saturn Find a small soft ball and secure it to a piece of string. Holding the string centrally, spin the ball in circles and you’ll start to see the ball blur, and begin to look more like a solid ring as you spin it round. BONUS Experiment - Whoopee Cushion for Uranus Experiment 8 - Instant Snow for Neptune Neptune doesn’t have snow, but it is extremely cold and this demo will help to remind little ones of the freezing temperatures on this planet. Instant Snow can be bought in packets however you can also gather it from nappies/diapers! Carefully cut out the absorbent pad of a nappy, place it in a bowl and rip the fabric so the contents can fall out. Gently shake it and the “instant snow” will fall straight out! ..................................................................................................................... Keep in Touch!

In 1604, a new star appeared in the night sky. It shone brighter than all the other stars, and for three weeks, it was even visible during the day! This mysterious beacon marked the explosive death of a nearby star. These explosions are called supernovas, and they give off so much light that for a few weeks, they can outshine a galaxy of billions of stars! Then, slowly they fade away, leaving behind beautiful glowing clouds of gas, like the one in this picture. But let's travel back to a few million years earlier, because the story of this star gets even more interesting. The star that exploded in 1604 began its life as an average star, similar to our Sun. When an average-sized star dies, the result is much less dramatic than a powerful supernova. Instead of exploding, it expands to become a red giant and then collapses. The material from the centre of the star ends up squashed tightly down into a tiny, heavy ball called a white dwarf star. This is how this star died for the first time, long before 1604. But how did it end up dying a second time? Well, astronomers have recently discovered the answer to that question. The white dwarf had a companion, an enormous red giant star. Even though the red giant was much larger, the white dwarf's gravity was much stronger. It began to rip gas off its companion, pulling the material onto itself. Eventually the star's own greed led to its demise. It stole so much material that it became unstable, leading to the spectacular explosion that our ancestors saw!

Over the last few weeks Pokémon Go has taken the world by storm. Visit the beach and you'll see dozens of people battling to catch water-type Pokémon like Magikarp or Krabby. Take a walk in the countryside and you'll find yourself surrounded by grass-type Caterpies. But what type of Pokémon would you find in space? While the Sun is obviously not a Pokémon, it actually has a lot in common with an electric-type Pokémon called Magneton. 'Discharge' and 'Zap Cannon' are two of Magneton's most powerful attacks. Similarly, the Sun can create powerful storms capable of knocking out communication satellites and damaging electrical power systems on Earth! These storms are caused by 'magnetic fields' on the Sun. A magnet (like those you can stick to your refrigerator) creates an invisible force field all around it, called a magnetic field. The Sun acts like a magnet. But how the Sun, and stars like the Sun, create their magnetic fields is a bit of a puzzle. The inside of a star is made of layers. There's a zone where the star's energy moves outwards, and another where the energy circles up and down. Many scientists believe that stars' magnetic fields are produced in the area where these two layers meet. However, stars much less massive than the Sun don't have both these layers, as you can see in the picture above. Yet a new study has just found that they still have magnetic fields similar to stars like the Sun! It looks like our theory of magnetic fields needs to be re-examined!

For more information and music, visit http://sillyschoolsongs.com Lyrics: Venus, second planet from the sun Temperature-wise, you're the hottest one You're called the morning and the evening star Our next door neighbor and you're not too far NASA said that your world is dim Because your atmosphere won't let much light in It's thick and toxic and it traps in heat You're named for the Roman goddess of love and beauty You're 900 degrees in Fahrenheit It's mighty dark in the middle of your moonless nights Did you know that Venus's surface is covered with craters, volcanoes and dried lava? WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT???? You're so quirky with the way you spin It's backwards! Retrograde rotation oh oh oh Venus in the time it takes for you to rotate The Earth has seen more than 200 days And your day is longer than your year We think you're awesome, Venus, but uh, that's sorta weird Did you know that Venus's atmosphere is made of carbon dioxide, nitrogen and sulfuric acid? And if you lived on Venus (which no one can), you would see the sun rising in the West and setting in the East due to its backward rotation? WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?????? You're 67 million miles from the sun With a large volcano called Maat Mons Oh oh oh Venus, yeah, you're Earth's twin sister, yeah Your size is similar, yeah, but you're still different, yeah Hey Venus, yeah you're always cloudy, yeah And you're terrestrial, yeah, that means you're rocky, yeah Hey Venus you're so fly, Shining brightly in our sky, hey Venus, yeah, hey Venus Hey Venus, see you later Glad I can't fall in your craters Venus! Yeah, hey Venus! Copyright 2016 Silly School Songs. All Rights Reserved.

Learn all about the planet Mercury with this fun planet song for kids. For more information and music, visit http://sillyschoolsongs.com Lyrics: Let me tell you a little somethin' about Mercury In the order of the planets it's the first, you see It's the closest planet to the big fat Sun And I still can't believe it's not the hottest one Let me tell you a little somethin' about Mercury It's also called the Planet of Extremes With days so hot and nights so cold It can't be home to a living soul! This planet has a place in space 36 million miles away (from the Sun) The smallest planet in the solar system but you won't believe how much it weighs (3.8 sextillion tons) With no moon in the sky at night and nothing to give it some light (it's so, so dark) Not only dark but extremely cold it's 330 degrees below (that's negative temp!) Let me tell you a little somethin' about Mercury It's made of iron and heavy things Its atmosphere is extremely thin No human could possibly breathe it in Let me tell you a little somethin' about Mercury It's terrestrial and real rocky It takes 59 days to rotate or spin Its atmosphere is made of oxygen and sodium and hydrogren and helium and potassium We've tried to learn more about Mercury so we sent some space probes out there (two so far) Mariner 10 showed us its craters and we sent MESSENGER nearly 30 years later (see what we did right there) It doesn't have an atmospheric shield to protect it from solar rays (from the Sun) This also means it has some freezing nights and some amazingly excessive hot days (800 degrees!) Let me tell you a little somethin' about Mercury It was named for a Roman deity He had wings on his helmet and his shoes He's an ancient mailman messenger dude Let me tell you a little somethin' about Mercury In the order of the planets it's the first, you see It's the closest planet to the big fat Sun And I STILL can't believe it's not the hottest one!
