Sing physics and chemistry carols with the kids!

Here's a great way to combine some seasonal fun with science.  Learn some physics and chemistry carols!

From "The 12 Days of Physics" to "O Come All Ye Gases" to "I'm Dreaming of a White Precipitate," there's all sorts of science fun at these sites.

Chemistry Carols has 15 chemistry-themed holiday songs:

  1. The Chemistry Teacher's coming to town
  2. I'm dreaming of a white precipitate
  3. Silent labs
  4. Deck the labs
  5. The twelve days of chemistry
  6. Test tubes bubbling
  7. O little melting particle
  8. We wish you a happy halogen
  9. Chemistry wonderland
  10. I saw teacher kissing Santa Chlorine
  11. O come all ye gases
  12. We three students of chemistry are
  13. Iron the Red Atom Molecule
  14. Lab reports
  15. Silver nitrate

Here's one of my favorite science carols.

Test Tubes Bubbling
(Sung to the tune of Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire)

Test tubes bubbling in a water bath
Strong smells nipping at your nose.
Tiny molecules with their atoms all aglow
Will find it hard to be inert tonight.
They know that Chlorine’s on its way
He’s loaded lots of little electrons on his sleigh
And every student’s slide rule is on the sly
To see if the teacher really can multiply.
And so I offer you this simple phrase
To chemistry students in this room
Although it’s been said many times, many ways
Merry molecules to you.
