Explaining concepts like photosynthesis and velocity through song is no easy feat, but this quirky alt-pop duo succeeds wildly. They Might Be Giants are so good at presenting scientific principles in a kid-friendly format, you might have a hard time convincing your offspring that you found this band first. Tracks like “I Am a Paleontologist” and “Why Does the Sun Really Shine?” will convince kids that science is cool and have adults dying to don a lab coat too.
