Elements and Matter

The Atoms Family Song

They're tiny and they're teeny,

Much Smaller than a beany,

They never can be seeny,

The Atoms Family.

Together they make gases,

And liquids like molasses,

And all the solid masses,

The Atoms Family.

Chorus:

They are so small. (snap, snap)

They're round like a ball. (snap, snap)

They make up the air. (snap, snap)

They're everywhere.

Cant see them at all. (snap, snap)

Neutrons can be found,

Where protons hang around;

Electrons they surround

The Atoms Family.

They're tiny and they're teeny,

Much Smaller than a beany,

They never can be seeny,

The Atoms Family.

Chorus:

They are so small. (snap, snap)

They're round like a ball. (snap, snap)

They make up the air. (snap, snap)

They're everywhere.

Cant see them at all. (snap, snap)

Together they make gases,

And liquids like molasses,

And all the solid masses,

The Atoms Family.

Neutrons can be found,

Where protons hang around;

Electrons they surround

The Atoms Family.

Chorus:

They are so small. (snap, snap)

They're round like a ball. (snap, snap)

They make up the air. (snap, snap)

They're everywhere.

Cant see them at all. (snap, snap)
