The Elements Song (for Jared, Lisa, Audrey, Lily and Rebecca)

This is the Elements Song that we played at least 10 times at the Royal Instutition today. The pont of this game is to touch panels on the periodic table representing the elements discovered at the Royal Institution. For Cecily, of course, it was just an opportunity to jump and touch, but the older girls grasped the object, and loved it! We think at least some of our family will love it too! Click on the link above to hear the music. You can follow along with the lyrics below:

There's antimony, arsenic, aluminum, selenium, And hydrogen and oxygen and nitrogen and rhenium, And nickel, neodymium, neptunium, germanium, And iron, americium, ruthenium, uranium, Europium, zirconium, lutetium, vanadium, And lanthanum and osmium and astatine and radium, And gold and protactinium and indium and gallium, (gasp) And iodine and thorium and thulium and thallium.
