This document summarizes the key points from a research study on using music to teach concepts in science. It discusses how music can be an engaging tool for instruction that helps students remember lessons. The study tested students before and after a lesson on ecosystems was taught through an original song. Results showed that students performed better on the post-test, indicating the song helped them learn and remember the concepts. The document concludes that incorporating academic content into music through songs can boost students' understanding and attention during lessons.

10. Every teacher whether old or new ones needs quick and
easy-to-use instructional materials to help them impart
lessons to the students. Using songs can be an easy
way for teachers who are trying to help their students to
cope up with their lesson. Aside from it is appropriate
and fulfilling, your students will not realize how much
they are learning just by using a song. Music makes
learning a great adventure. Singing connects your
students, especially the struggling ones, to the joy of
learning. (Hachmeister, 2010)
11. Learning is well organized when it is richly meaningful
to the learner (Mursell, 1954). He also stated that
significant interest and intelligibility are the two factors of
meaningfulness.
According to a site called Super Simple Learning (2014),
one great tool for teaching is music. Good songs will
continue to run around their heads helping them
remember and understand what is being delivered by
the music especially when it is authentic. Learners pick
up the lessons if it is incorporated with a song because
singing is what people love to do.
12. Ferguson stated that music stimulates many others
than the purely musical area of the mind. It is not only
the music itself functions as the music lover but can
also be used in other fields such as academics.
According to Edgar Dale (1954), audio and visual
materials have a high degree of interest for students.
Through the implementation of this musical instruction,
students will pay more attention to the lesson.
23. ECOSYSTEM
(Tune: Dati by Sam Conception and Tippy Dos Santos)
I
Ecosystem: Interaction of all things on Earth
There are two structures in an ecosystem
Abiotic and Biotic are these two factors
These factors interact. Interactions are called
symbiosis
II
Mutualism, Parasitism, Commensalism
In mutualism, they both benefit, they need each other
Parasitism is where one is harmed and the other
benefits
Commensalism: benefits and the other is not affected
Bridge
Biotic factors are living things
Abiotic factors are non-living things
Chorus
1Everything is connected to everything else
2Everything must go somewhere or become other
things
3There is no such thing as free lunch for everybody
These are the three rules
Rules of ecosystem
(Repeat I)
(Repeat II)
(Repeat Chorus)

I am Lazzel Natalia Mista, a senior student taking up BS
Mathematics and Science Teaching from UPLB. I am currently taking my
Special Problem entitled Multiple Intelligence Based Instruction for
Musically Intelligent Learners. This study aims to determine the
effectiveness of Multiple Intelligence Theory on Grade 7 students on a
topic in Science (Ecosystem). This also aims to provide a supplementary
instructional material for musically intelligent students.
I would like to ask a permission to conduct my study in your
school (University of the Philippines Rural High School) and my target
respondents are at least one (1) section from Grade 7. This study will only
be conducted for two (2) meetings. The first meeting will be the Multiple
Intelligence Test for the students which they will determine their individual
dominant multiple intelligences, the second meeting will be the pre-test
about the chosen topic, the activity, and the post-test.
Thank you very much for your kind consideration and I am
looking forward for your permission. God bless you.
Sincerely yours,
