Frisco elementary teacher puts science lessons to music

Debra Cave has designed a curriculum that infuses music into her science classes at Frisco's Christie Elementary School, the district's lone bilingual school. She's created a CD/DVD to fit the lessons and has drawn national attention for her efforts, from Texas A&M University researchers to the National Center for Atmospheric Research.

Cave's lessons – which resemble American Idol more than study hall – echo an increasingly popular teaching strategy, one that draws on the arts as it reinforces the potential of music to enhance learning.
