A fun song I wrote for my science classes to help introduce the concept of dissolving solids in water (salt and sugar).
LYRICS:
I like to dissolve things,
Just like scientists like to solve things,
And I’m using H2O,
That’s just water, don’t you know!
Momma said, never eat too much sugar,
Momma said nobody really should!
But I said, I like to eat sweet sugar,
Because it tastes really, really very, very, very good...
So I hid all the sugar,
Where it couldn't be found,
Not up in the air,
Not down on the ground!
Each day I had sugar,
And nobody knew,
Someone stole the sugar,
But they didn’t know who!
And each day I drank sugar,
From a clear, glass jar,
It looked like water,
But was better by far!
It tasted so sweet,
And no one every solved,
My clear bottled liquid,
Had sugar dissolved!
I like to dissolve things,
Just like scientists like to solve things,
And I’m using H2O,
That’s just water, don’t you know!
I saw dad shaking some salt on his food,
And it drove momma straight to a pretty bad mood,
She said, too much salt, is bad for you health,
And your health is important it’s your body’s greatest wealth,
Momma asked me,
to hide the salt from dad,
And I had an idea, and it made my momma glad,
I poured all the salt, in a bucket of water,
Watched it dissolve, like I know salt, really oughta’
Dad looked for the salt, but the salt he couldn’t find,
So he ate without his salt, and his food still tasted fine,
Now when momma needs the salt, just like a pinch,
She’ll tell me in advance and getting salt is such a cinch,
I let the water evaporate,
And what’s left is the salt,
For my mom, it’s really great,
And dad never knows,
The salt is still around,
Dissolved in the bucket,
Where it’s never really found…
Salt dissolved,
Salt dissolved,
My bucket of water had salt dissolved!
When solids like salt or sugar dissolve in a liquid, such as water,
They create a new substance known as a solution.
Once the salt or sugar is dissolved it can be very hard to tell there is salt or sugar in the water at all! Everything is now a liquid.
When solids dissolve in water tiny parts of them, known as molecules, mix together with the molecules that make up the water. Can you say molecule?
Molecule, Molecule
Molecule, Molecule
Molecule, Molecule
Molecule, Molecule
I like to dissolve things,
Just like scientists like to solve things,
And I’m using H2O,
That’s just water, don’t you know!
I like to dissolve things,
Just like scientists like to solve things,
And I’m using H2O,
That’s just water, don’t you know!
