The Elementix Dance

Everybody DANCE! The Elementix are here! Building blocks that stick together — making something new! Come here!

Remember Hydro found Hydro? [click] Bonded — H-2! Two building blocks stuck together — that's what bonds can do!

Stick together! (stick together!) Something new! (something new!) Different blocks make different things when they bond like glue!

Then Hydro, Hydro, Oxya — [splash] Bonded into three! Made water! H-2-O! Puddles, rain, and sea!

Stick together! (stick together!) Something new! (something new!) Every time blocks bond together something different comes through!

Now here comes Carbo! "I need TWO Oxyas — come and play!" Carbo bonds with Oxya, Oxya — [whoosh] C-O-2! Hey hey!

C-O-2! (what's that?) You breathe it out — go on and blow! [fwoom] Breathe out... that's C-O-2! Out your breath it flows!

And here's the coolest part — plants breathe the C-O-2 IN! [yum] They use it up and give back air — then we breathe again!

Round and round and round it goes! You breathe out, plants breathe in! C-O-2 goes round and round — and round and round again!

Stick together! (stick together!) Something new! (something new!) H-2! Water! C-O-2! Bonds make the world for you!

Now Nitro fills the sky above — [whoooosh] building blocks of wind and air! Hydro, Oxya, Carbo, Nitro — Elementix everywhere!

DANCE! BOND! SPLASH! BLOW! Elementix everywhere you go! Building blocks that stick together — that's what Elementix are for!

Key Concepts: Different atom combinations make different molecules | C + O + O = CO2 (carbon dioxide, Carboxy) | We breathe out CO2, plants breathe it in | H2 and H2O were earlier bonds, now CO2 adds complexity | Atoms bond by sharing electrons in different patterns | Molecules make up everything around us

Characters: All four Elementix (Hydro, Oxya, Carbo, Nitro) at the bonding dance | Aquo (H2O) recalled | Carboxy (CO2) — one Carbo + two Oxyas bonded with double bonds

Key Words: bond, molecule, dance, share, electrons, combine, Carboxy, CO2
