Franklin plus or minus charge
Don’t try this in your backyard
Lightning strikes a flying key
Like charges flee
Lavoisier, what he say
Matter that you have today
Can never go away
Never go away
We should know these guys, not just to get an A (chorus)
They looked a different way to get us where we are today
Proust, Joe, what he know
In compounds like H2O
All the elements will have
The same percent by mass
John Dalton rolled it all
Together in a little ball
From atoms everything is made
Everything is made
(chorus)
Henri Becquerel could see
Radioactivity
Laying rocks upon a plate
To see the form they make
J.J. Thomson, what he done
Shot electrons from a gun
The shadow of a cross he cast
Found electrons, not the mass
Robert Millikan
Tiny drops from an oil can
He turned the power on
Found the charge of an electron
(chorus)
Ernest Rutherford he say
While shooting gold with alpha rays
In mostly empty space is stored
The atom’s tiny core
Just one more, Niels Bohr
Electrons spinning round the core
In orbits fixed they run
Like planets round the sun
(chorus)
