Meet the Elementix
[ALL] Hey! Who's there? We're tiny tiny TINY but we're EVERYWHERE! We're the building blocks — building blocks of everything! We're the building blocks — hear...
[ALL] Hey! Who's there? We're tiny tiny TINY but we're EVERYWHERE!
We're the building blocks — building blocks of everything! We're the building blocks — hear the Elementix sing!
[LEAD] What's an atom? [KID CHOIR] (One tiny THING!) [LEAD] What's an element? [KID CHOIR] (A KIND of thing!) [LEAD] And the Elementix? [KID CHOIR] (ALL the kinds — that's US!)
[LEAD] Who bounces? [HYDRO] (HYDRO!) — boing boing boing! [LEAD] Who breathes? [OXYA] (OXYA!) — whoosh ahhh! [LEAD] Who sparkles? [CARBO] (CARBO!) — scribble sparkle! [LEAD] Who blows? [NITRO] (NITRO!) — whoooosh!
[ALL] We're the Elementix! We build everything! We're the Elementix! Hear us sing!
[HYDRO] Hydro's in the stars! [twinkle] [OXYA] Oxya's in the air! [whoosh] [CARBO] Carbo's in the trees! [rustle] [NITRO] Nitro fills the sky! [whoooosh]
[ALL] We're the Elementix! Building blocks of everything! Mountains! Oceans! Flowers! YOU! We build everything!
[LEAD] You can't see us — we're too small! But we build up every single thing — big or small!
[LEAD] The water that you drink? [KID CHOIR] (that's us!) [LEAD] The air inside your lungs? [KID CHOIR] (that's us!) [LEAD] The ground beneath your feet? [KID CHOIR] (that's us!) [LEAD] The stars up in the sky? [KID CHOIR] (THAT'S US!)
[ALL] Building blocks! (building blocks!) Of everything! (everything!) That's what atoms are — we build everything!
We're the Elementix! We build everything! Hydro! Oxya! Carbo! Nitro! Building blocks of EVERYTHING! ELEMENTIX!
Key Concepts: Elements are types of atoms | Atoms are the building blocks of all matter | Each element is unique with a different number of protons | Hydrogen (1 proton, lightest), Oxygen (8 protons, we breathe it), Carbon (6 protons, in all life), Nitrogen (7 protons, fills the sky) | Atoms are too small to see but make up everything
Characters: Hydro — lightest, simplest, number one | Oxya — vital for breathing, eight protons | Carbo — in all living things, six protons | Nitro — fills the sky, seven protons
Key Words: elements, atoms, building blocks, Elementix, unique, protons
