They Might Be Giants: Here Comes Science
Here Comes Science is an upbeat, rock-powered children's album that teaches chemistry, biology, physics, astronomy, and evolution through catchy songs aimed at early grade-schoolers and up. The only content worth a heads-up is that one track directly contrasts scientific thinking with belief in angels and unicorns, which some families may want to talk through.
A great fit for curious kids roughly ages 5 and up, and especially enjoyable for school-age children who love dinosaurs, space, or hands-on science.
Track by track
The opening track, Science Is Real, draws a clear line between scientific facts and beliefs in angels and unicorns; factually accurate but worth a quick chat for families where faith and science coexist at home.
My Brother the Ape introduces human evolution and our shared ancestry with apes in a matter-of-fact, cheerful way; a great conversation starter but may prompt big questions for younger or more sheltered kids.
The Bloodmobile arrives with a louder, more energetic arrangement than the tracks around it and describes blood cells and the circulatory system with vivid, body-focused imagery that may surprise very young listeners.
