VSEPR shapes: A musical mnemonic
The use of songs to help learning of content is consistent with multi-sensory models of learning. Here, a song to the tune of “Friar Jacques” (“Brother John”) can be used in the classroom to assist the learning of VSEPR shapes. One of the reasons that songs are not more-commonly used is that there is a limited variety of chemistry topics, vocal ranges, and varieties of musical genres. This song adds to the repertoire of chemistry songs.
