Kids will love this rap video.

Chemist and educational rapper Grand Hank (Co-host of the Science Lab of Philadelphia TV show and former Johnson & Johnson research chemist) first performs a rap song and then follows it up with a three to five-minute positive reinforcement "lecture" explaining the topics of rap. His points are well made; organized, cogent, and worded so all students can understand them easily. The various raps and thought- provoking lectures include the value of education, how to get hyped up for doing one’s best in school, the eight parts of speech, African-American scientists, the many good things African-Americans have done, and how to be a scientist (study hard). Filmed in concert in several school venues, this video will appeal to and motivate lazy learners turned off by education. Great for showing to in school suspension regulars and those with attitude problems (you may need to show it to them twice), as well as to the general student population for motivation. Buy this refreshing and motivational film supporting education. - Scott Johnson, Whittemore Park Middle School, Conway, SC.
