Chem Carols
Bio, Chem, and Physics songs - just in time for the holidays
(hey, at least we're on time for something).
Amoebas (Jingle Bells)
Splashing to and fro,
Amoebas like to play
In a petri dish,
Dividing once a day.
I thought that there were two,
Nothing less or more,
But I looked through the
microscope and
Counted up to four.
Oh!
Single cells, single cells,
See how they divide!
There was one on Christmas Day,
But now it's multiplied.
Oh!
Single cells, single cells,
Nothing much to do
But swimming in a petri dish
Dividing into two.
To "Silver Bells"
Physics class, physics class,
It's Christmas time in physics class.
What is mass?
Will we pass?
Soon it will be final time.
Physics problems,we hate problems,
Stuck on frictional force.
In the lab we're feeling confusion --
Many failing, few are passing,
Learning term after term,
And at every force vector we scream.
To "Angels We Have Heard on High"
Physics it is not a lie,
Study motion, sound, and light.
If you think you have it made,
So surprised, you'll se your grade.
Oh, o-o-o-o, oh, o-o-o-o,
Oh, o-o-o-o, no-o,
Please give me at least a B.
Oh, o-o-o-o, oh, o-o-o-o,
Oh, o-o-o-o, no-o,
My parents can't take a D.
To "I'll Be Home for Christmas"
I'll do physics this Christmas,
You can count on me.
I'll review, and study too,
And measure gravity.
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the study lamp gleams;
I'll do physics this Christmas --
But only in my dreams!
To "Deck the Halls"
Deck the halls with Newton's laws,
Fa law law law law, law law law law,
You should study them because,
Fa law law law law, law law law law,
They'll be on the physics test,
Fa law law law law, law law law law,
You won't want to say you guessed,
Fa law law law law, law law law law.
Chemicals (Jingle Bells)
Dashing through the lab,
Test tubes in my hand,
Through the students I run,
Ready to follow plans.
Zinc and copper first,
Lead and cobalt last,
Watch them change in size and shape,
It shouldn't happen fast.
Oh, chemicals, chemicals,
Mixing chemicals,
Oh what fun it is to mix
Chemicals today!
Deck the Labs
Deck the halls with rubber tubing,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Use your funnel when you filter,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Don we now goggles and aprons,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Before we go to our lab stations,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Fill the beakers with solutions,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Mix solutions for reactions,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Watch we now for observations,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
So we can collect our data,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
We Wish You a Happy Halogen
We wish you a happy halogen,
We wish you a happy halogen,
We wish you a happy halogen,
To react with your metal.
Good acid we bring,
To you and your base,
We wish you a Merry Molecule,
And a happy halogen.
Test Tubes Roasting (The Christmas Song)
Test tubes roasting on a bunsen burner,
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 can really 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.
A Note: I didn't write any of this. I'm pretty sure Mr. Wyman wrote these. He goes caroling with his physics classes every year. There
is a note that says: "Sorry I couldn't come up with anything for Newton's
theory of universal gravitation and great synthesis. If anybody else
writes physics carols, I'd love to see them!" Anybody feel creative?
