RE-SUNG BY SCIENCE

By the 6th grade, many girls lose interest in math and science, which they may need for future jobs. So the next time your daughter or grand-daughter asks you to sing a lullaby, sing it in science.

TWINKLE, TWINKLE LITTLE STAR (re-sung by science!)

Twinkle, twinkle little star
You're a ball of gas that's very far.
32 light years in the sky
10 parsecs which is really high.
Helium, carbon and hy-dro-gen
Fuse to make our starry friend.
When it enters supernova stage
It explodes with bursts of rays.
And if the star's mass is big and bold
It will become a black hole!
