Meet the Subatomix

[clap clap stomp] [clap clap stomp]

Hey hey HEY! You know the Elementix? Hydro! Oxya! Carbo! Yeah! But what are THEY made of? What's inside? Let's go!

PROTO steps up first — [stomp stomp] I'm PROTO! I'm POSITIVE! Plus plus plus! I'm heavy and I'm loud and I make a real big fuss!

Count my brothers and you know which element you are! One Proto? That's Hydro! Eight? That's Oxya! Six makes Carbo — twenty-six makes Ferro — STAR!

Plus! Zero! Minus! Plus! Zero! Minus! That's how every atom starts!

NEUTRO rolls in next — [chill drumroll] I'm NEUTRO I'm neutral — zero charge for me I'm heavy like my buddy Proto but I keep things steady, see?

Without me atoms get all wobbly too many Protos? Things go POP! I'm the balance, I'm the glue-friend I make sure things don't stop

Plus! Zero! Minus! Plus! Zero! Minus! That's how every atom starts!

ELECTRA zips in — [zzzzzip!] I'm ELECTRA! NEGATIVE and FAST! I'm tiny tiny tiny but I do the most — I'm a BLAST!

I'm the one who makes things happen! Sparks and bonds and lightning too! Electromago holds my leash and I orbit around you!

I weigh almost NOTHING but don't count me out! Chemistry? That's ME! That's what I'm about!

Plus! Zero! Minus! Plus! Zero! Minus! That's how every atom starts!

[all together now] So put us all together and what have you got?

Proto and Neutro packed in tight — that's NUCLEO! Strongy holds us — won't let go!

Electra zooming way outside — Electromago keeps her tied!

And THAT my friends — [clap clap STOMP] is an ATOM! That's an ATOM! One of THOSE!

One Proto and one Electra? That's Hydro — simplest one! Seventy-nine Protos all together? That's Auri — GOLDEN sun!

Every single thing you touch and taste and see and hear is Protos, Neutros, Electras put together — right HERE!

Plus! Zero! Minus! Plus! Zero! Minus! That's how every atom starts!

Plus! Zero! Minus! SUBATOMIX!

[clap clap STOMP!]

Key Concepts: Atoms are made of three subatomic particles | Protons are positive and define which element | Neutrons are neutral and stabilize the nucleus | Electrons are negative, nearly massless, and do all the chemistry | Protons + Neutrons = nucleus (held by Strongy) | Electrons orbit outside (held by Electromago) | Proto count determines the element (1=Hydro, 6=Carbo, 8=Oxya, 26=Ferro, 79=Auri)

Key Words: proton, neutron, electron, positive, negative, neutral, nucleus, atom, charge
