SONG: Science Every Day - Horrible Science

Did you know you use science EVERY DAY, (even right now as you're reading this)? Well, we do! Sing along to this silly Horrible Science song and see how we use science in our daily lives; from drying our hair to taking photos on cameras and phones. Scroll down to see the lyrics. 🎵 Time to sing like it’s raining rats and dogs (sorry Rattus). Hit it!

How do we use science every day?

You use science every day (yes, even on weekends) because everything in modern life has been influenced by science! You're reading this on a phone, tablet or computer, and in order to make that happen, scientists helped to discover electricity that powers your devices, (yes, thousands of years of scientific research was done so YOU could look at cute pictures of cats anywhere in the world).

From toilets to TVs, cameras to curling tongs, science is behind all of it! How do you use science in your every day life? Let us know in the comments below!

Sing along to the official Horrible Science 'Science Every Day' song lyrics!

(DUA BETA)

Baby you know when you turn on the lights,

Whether they’re dim or bright,

When you turn them on science going on,

Happening all the time.

When you turn on your tunes,

Make your camera zoom.

Find the right street, touching your screen,

Science makes it come true.

Because lots that we do has been improved by thinking it through,

Every day in lots of ways we use science too.

Give three cheers for the science ideas we use.

 

Science! Science every day,

It’s not just for learning you use it in lots of different ways.

You use… Science! Science every day.

When you turn the hairdryer on and feel those sweet heatwaves,

  

You know that when you are gaming online,

When you look at the time,

Using your remote that’s been thought about,

It is all by design.

Because every process has had a test to check that it works,

Let’s give it a cheer for these ideas, and all their perks,

Let’s say thanks, let’s say thanks, let’s say thanks.

 

We use Science! Science every day,

So much stuff you don’t know is science in the best way.

You use Science! Science every day,

If you’re sick you get fixed up by science, so hooray.

 

When the car breaks,

Let’s you down, slows you down.

When the cake bakes,

I watch it rise, I watch it rise.

Going to space, and when you flush a loo,

It’s not chance, it’s not chance, it’s not chance!

 

We use Science! Science every day,

When you’re on an aeroplane it’s the science that keep you safe.

You use Science! Science every day,

We’re all using science in all kinds of different ways.

 

When you’re brushing,

Shiny and clean, shiny and clean.

Or we’re searching,

Tap your screen, tap your screen.

Yeah let’s face it, we should thank DUA BETAs.

We use science all the time, we use science every day!
