I Saw Teacher Kissing Santa Chlorine >----------------------------------------- > >I saw teacher kissing Santa Chlorine > under the chemistree last night >They didn't sneak me down the periodic chart > to take a peek >At all the atoms reacting in their beakers; > it was neat. > >And I saw teacher kissing Santa Chlorine > under the chemistree so bright >Oh what a reaction there would have been > if the principal had walked in >With teacher kissing Santa Chlorine last night. > > >11. O Come all ye Gases >------------------------ > >O Come all yea gases > diatomic wonders >O come yea, o come yea > calls Avogadro. > >O come yea in moles > 6 x 10 to the 23rd >O molar mass and molecules > O volume, pressure and temperature >O molar volume of gases at S.T.P. > > >12. We Three Students of Chemistry Are >--------------------------------------- > >We three students of chemistry are > taking tests that we think are hard >Stoichiometry, volumes and densities > worrying all the time. > >O room of wonder > room of fright >Room of thermites > blinding light: >With your energies > please don't burn us >Help us get our labs all right. > > >13. Iron the Red Atom Molecule >------------------------------- >(to the tune of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer) > >There was Cobalt and Argon and Carbon and Fluorine > Silver and Boron and Neon and Bromine >But do you recall > the most famous element of all? > >Iron the red atom molecule > had a very shiny orbital >And if you ever saw him > You'd enjoy his magnetic glow >All of the other molecules > used to laugh and call him Ferrum >They never let poor Iron > join in any reaction games. >Then one inert Chemistry eve > Santa came to say >Iron with your orbital so bright > won't you catalyze the reaction tonight? >Then how the atoms reacted > and combined in twos and threes >Iron the red atom molecule > you'll go down in Chemistry! > > >14. Lab Reports >--------------- >(to the tune of Jingle Bells) > >Dashing through the lab > with a tan page lab report >Taking all those tests > and laughing at them all >Bells for fire drills ring > making spirits bright >What fun it is to laugh and sing > a chemistry song tonight. > >Oh, lab report, lab reports, > reacting all the way >Oh what fun it is to study > for a chemistry test today, Hey! > >Chemistry test, chemistry test > isn't it a blast >Oh what fun it is to take > a chemistry test and pass. > > >15. Silver Nitrate >------------------- >(to the tune of Silver Bells) > >Silver nitrate, silver nitrate > it's chemistry time in the lab >Ding-a-ling, with a copper ring > soon it will be chemistry day. > >Take your nitrate, in solution > Add your copper with style >In the beaker there's a feeling of reactions > silver forming, blue solution >Bringing ooh's ah's and wows > now the data procesing begins. > >Get the mass, change to moles > what is the ratio with copper? >Write an equation, balance it > we're glad it's Chemistry Day.
