Diurnal Animal Song

#diurnal #science #teaching
A song I wrote to help teach my elementary science students about diurnal animals.

LYRICS:
I’m Di-diurnal, I’m not nocturnal
I like the sunshine, prefer to play in light
I’m diurnal, I’m not nocturnal
I stay up in the daytime and I go to sleep at night!
Di-di-diurnal
I stay up in the daytime, and I go to sleep at night!
Di-di-diurnal
I stay up in the daytime and I go to sleep at night!
I was walking all around, all around the town
The time was getting late, and the sun was going down
I saw a bunch of birds, flying to the park
I asked them, where you going?
It’s getting kind of dark…
Were going to our nests, we never fly at night
We’re diurnal, we prefer to fly in light
We aren’t bats or owls, we don’t fly at night
We’re diurnal, we like to fly in light
I’m Di-diurnal, I’m not nocturnal
I like the sunshine, prefer to play in light
I’m diurnal, I’m not nocturnal
I stay up in the daytime and I go to sleep at night!
Di-di-diurnal
I stay up in the daytime, and I go to sleep at night!
Di-di-diurnal
I stay up in the daytime, and I go to sleep at night!
A very good friend liked to stay up very late
she really thought the nighttime,
She notified her mom,
Said she’d write about the night in her writing journal
Her Mom said fine, I’ll let you be,
She stayed up ‘til one then two , then three,
She woke up in the morning,
She told her she’s diurnal like all the human race!
I’m Di-diurnal, I’m not nocturnal
I like the sunshine, prefer to play in light,
I’m diurnal, I’m not nocturnal
I stay up in the daytime and I go to sleep at night!
Di-di-diurnal
I stay up in the daytime and I go to sleep at night!
Di-di-diurnal
I stay up in the daytime and I go to sleep at night!
Diurnal animals are animals that are mostly
While the animals shown in this video are
some don’t sleep as much as humans,
Humans like you and me are naturally diurnal animals,
Do you think that you could stay up at night
That’s what nocturnal animals like bats and owls do
I’m Di-diurnal, I’m not nocturnal
I like the sunshine, prefer to play in light
I’m diurnal, I’m not nocturnal
I stay up in the daytime and I go to sleep at night!
Di-di-diurnal
I stay up in the daytime and I go to sleep at night!
Di-di-diurnal
I stay up in the daytime and I go to sleep at night!
I met a green iguana, climbing in the trees
He said he got up early, with the butterflies and bees
He said he was diurnal, he rested during night
He always felt more active in the daytime and the light
And now that there was sunshine, warming up his day
He would find some tasty food,
I’m Di-diurnal, I’m not nocturnal
I like the sunshine, prefer to play in light,
I’m diurnal, I’m not nocturnal
I stay up in the daytime and I go to sleep at night!
Di-di-diurnal
I stay up in the daytime, and I go to sleep at night!
Di-di-diurnal
I stay up in the daytime, and I go to sleep at night!
