I have been teaching ELL students for 5 years now, and ever since I have started using HOLY MOL-EE! it has made my job so much easier. The students enjoy using the music, and with the actions it becomes easier for them to learn the concepts.

The senior classes like a break from their standard classes of lectures, and performing chemistry is something quite different from the standard. I would recommend this product to every teacher. It is different, interesting and contains music.

I have always used songs, such as the ones from Mike Offutt’s Chemistry Songbag, to supplement my science lessons. Music breaks the boredom of lecture and "plug and chug" problems. The songs from HOLY MOL-EE! have really neat animation slides for students to focus on and they also have motions to let them become active participants. Some of my students, at first, have been reluctant to sing along, but they tell my that they find themselves humming the song or having it pop into their head outside of class! This is wonderful, since the words are from HOLY MOL-EE! chemistry principles!

I have used Lynda's 'HOLY MOL-EE!' with 10th grade Honors students, 11th grade Chemistry I and Chemistry II students, and 12th grade Advanced Placement/International Baccalaureate students. I supplement lectures,labs, etc., with her songs, Picto-lyric Slides, and lessons. Lynda presents the concepts accurately, but with a different approach -- one that gets the students' attention. Some students love it and some "love to hate it", but I really think even the students that "gag" on the songs still pay attention to the concepts and learn from it.

When I see my students constantly plugged into iPods and portable CD players, I know that music has a special significance to their everyday lives. There are so many memories attached to music, and my students
can still quote songs from the beginning of the year. With a multiple intelligence approach, I know that I'm reaching a much greater percentage of my class and making Chemistry a lot more memorable.

I found HOLY MOL-EE! to be an extremely useful way to supplement the fast-paced chemistry curriculum. Most importantly, my students looked forward to the songs, asked for them and responded positively to the graphics and worksheets. I used the songs both as introduction and review for a topic.

The worksheets targeted concepts which were difficult for my students. For example, the “Rational Equations” worksheet, along with the songs and motions, helped my students learn to successfully manipulate the variables for the Gas Law unit. The suggestions and tools for presenting bonding were excellent: They included acting out the bonding process, colorful personified graphics to represent metals, non-metals and noble gases which my students remembered throughout the year, a favorite “Bonding Rap” song, and a worksheet that presented ideas in a logical manner.

HOLY MOL-EE! combines the critical concepts of chemistry in a fun way. I look forward to using the expanded version next year.

I was first introduced to Lynda Jones and HOLY MOL-EE! at ChemEd2003. I was blown away with the catchy music, the easily applied motions and the active and functional material included. I have used the material as part of my teaching ever since. One student even chided me gently that she could not get the tune which included "6.022 times 10 to the 23rd" out of her head. Others told me that they remembered the words to "Down with the P. Table" long after they were first introduced to them. This tells me that HOLY MOL-EE! really works.

I have used parts of HOLY MOL-EE! with my classes for the last two years. My students love the program and ask for the songs. Understanding and retention have improved. HOLY MOL-EE! makes those tough topics a lot more fun.

I love your music and motions. My students do, too. I have used them in my student teaching (HS), in my practicum (6th science) and when I was substituting. I had sixth graders begging to perform “Three Particles” for their classmates.
