Hydro Meets Hydro

Boing boing boing... all alone Hey! HEY! Over here! Whoa — you look just like ME! You look just like ME!

We're the same! We're the same! Two little Hydros — what's your name?

I'm Hydro! (I'm a building block!) I'm Hydro too! (I'm a building block too!) What happens if we stick like GLUE?

Hold hands! (hold hands!) Stick together! (stick together!) Two little Hydros — friends forever!

I've got something to share with you! I've got something to share with you too! Let's put them both right in between — [click] Whoa! What happened?!

We BONDED! That's called a bond! We shared and we stuck — H-2! H-2! Look what we've done!

Hold hands! (hold hands!) Stick together! (stick together!) That's a bond — we're bonded forever!

I was alone... [boing] I was alone too... [boing] But now we're stuck together — something totally NEW!

What's it called? (A BOND!) When you share and you stick! [click] Two building blocks — that did the trick!

H-2! (H-2!) We stuck like glue! (stuck like glue!) One Hydro plus one Hydro — bonded into something new!

That's a bond! [click] That's a bond! [click] Stick together — that's a BOND!

Key Concepts: Atoms have charge — protons are plus (+), electrons are minus (-) | Electrons are tiny particles that orbit atoms | When two atoms share electrons, they form a bond | H + H = H2, the simplest molecule | Bonding is like two friends sharing something precious

Characters: Two Hydros — identical atoms that meet, discover they can share electrons, and bond to become H2

Key Words: charge, electron, bond, share, plus, minus, molecule, H-2
