This is the eighteenth song written for primary age children so they can be encouraged to think about science as part of God’s creation and to look at how the sciences can help us understand the glory of that creation.
The songs are easy to learn and easy to sing because most of them have tunes that will be recognised. The scientific basis has been checked by well-qualified scientists to give anyone who uses them confidence. We hope you will enjoy the songs. If you should feel daunted by the possibility of being asked questions you can’t answer, you may find Keynotes and FAQs helpful
If you enjoy this song, please pass it to other parents, teachers, youth leaders, carers you feel might also find it helpful.

Whirligig Beetles.
Homeschool Song No 18
Whirligig beetles dart and glide,
run on the surface, bump and slide;
Their weight is very widely spread
so they can on the water tread.
Though they can dive, they’d rather not
because their food floats on the top.
Chorus
Oh Whirligig beetles dart and glide,
run on the surface, bump and slide.
One of God’s creatures, so good to see,
God loves us all, beetles and me!
Life in streams has mystery,
so many creatures to find and see.
God’s creation’s great to explore,
fish, frogs, beetles: even more.
All part of our amazing earth,
to look after well and know its worth.
Chorus
Oh Whirligig beetles dart and glide,
run on the surface, bump and slide.
One of God’s creatures, so good to see,
God loves us all, beetles and me!
