Elements: Videos/ Songs for Middle School

They Might Be Giants: "Meet the Elements"

This video gets 4 out of 5 protons.  This video has a great beat and is super catchy.  I believe the students will love this song.  They Might Be Giants seam to have a large following and they created a hit here.  The video is factual at a middle school level.  They have a great animation  behind the song that is also entertaining too.

Tom Lehrer's "The Elements" animated basic

This this video gets 4 out of 5 protons.  The tune is super catchy and the artists get all the elements into the song.  This song is almost about to hit the century mark and its an oldy but a goodie. It is factual and a solid animation behind the music.  Many other copies of the song have better pictures but the silicon image is always somewhat inappropriate, especially for middle school students.   Great work Tom and the person who created the images behind the video.  

The NEW Periodic Table Song (In Order)

This video gets 5 out of 5 protons.  Awesome song that lists all the elements in order to a classic song, OMG.  This video is a must show in every science class.  Great job, my hats off  to the creators of this video.  Great images behind the song and the video also gives the atomic number of every element.
