I like big matter and I cannot lie You other chemists can't deny When the mass and volume are combined Then I get this tingling in my spine That shouts CHEMISTRY!! We'll put materials at the top of our list They can be anything as long as it exists But of course a material has got to have matter Which is mass and volume (as it gets fatter) If you wanna know about heterogeneous materials Then take a look at your morning breakfast cereal You got the milk and the cheerios But they’ll always be separate and detached yo In contrast when something is homogeneous You can't tell what is and isn't in this Maybe you've got a mixture of gases But can't see it's a combo without super-glasses! A substance can be an element or compound The former's what you get when no more can be found The latter's got two or more of 'em in fixed proportions And they're both all pure with limited distortion When you mix these substances you've got a solution To which the solvent makes a hearty contribution It ends up as a solute through diffusion It was originally a mixture to add to the confusion When ice melts to water in the spring This process is more of a physical thing So the chemical formula doesn't change In fact, it stays right at HOH! Sodium is a highly reactive solid Chlorine is a deadly gas but bonded They form a mixture we call sodium chloride We sprinkle on our food with so much pride That is an example of a chemical change If you play along, you will understand the game Eventually you will begin to notice A system is where the attention is focused You have three phases in the world of chemistry These are all defined by physical properties Solid liquid and gas don't look the same That doesn't matter, their formula doesn't change! Now let's start this chemical reaction I'll get the reagent, and we'll cut to the action The reactant is consumed and the product results We know its chemical properties without a doubt! If you open your eyes wide and take a good look You'll find more chemistry than you'll see in a book If you take the time to understand You can grasp these ideas in the palm of your hand.

At Shorecrest we want everyone to learn in their own way We want to give the message that we're all okay Don't change your style just cause you don't fit in You're all part of this school, even when you don't win Yet sometimes school can be really boring There's times when your classes can leave you snoring But don't give up, the more you effort you make The more you'll learn, the more knowledge you'll take! You've all been told you should get involved So many times now the idea has palled Maybe the clubs all sound super lame And all you want to do is play your own game I'mma tell you right now, if I've learned one thing It's that it can never hurt to try out new things Though it may seem like nothing fits your style Just take a deep breath and give it awhile Open your mind and let your interests soar You never know, it might open a door! At our school we value giving back It's even a requirement to keep us on track Sixty hours total, before you graduate So why not start now, before it's too late? But community service is more than just hours It's a whole experience that can really empower You to find out who you might become Or to make a big difference in the life of someone Even though you want to just count up your minutes Make sure you take some time to see what's in this Portfolio of hours you've carefully assembled Read between the lines and see who you resemble Looking back at all the service you've done Did you do it cause you cared or just to get one More hour crossed off that countdown to zero? If you put your mind to it, you could be a hero When you're making the decision of what to do next Do you pick something easy or really what's best? Maybe you like kids or the environment or medicine You could work with animals or hike up trails on mountains Whatever you choose, make it something worthwhile Follow your passions, and give service with a smile Remember it's not just about getting it done Look at your options, and go have some fun!

Yo yo, my name is i You may not think so but I'm so fly I'm a negative under the radical sign I'm not your average number like one or two If you think that's all there is I've got a surprise for you Listen to me, I'll tell you the truth All started with some men, sitting in a pub They thought "what's the square root of negative one?" Tried as hard as they could but they just couldn't get it So they destroyed the whole town and all that was in it This became quite a frequent occurrence So the people all started buying insurance They decided that this answer just couldn't happen So they made up a number and that's why we're rappin’ They gave it some thought and called it i There was no better name no matter how they tried If you think i is overrated Just remember they were all intoxicated So what's the deal with this strange number That's weirder than the snow in summer? Some people might think I don't exist So then how could I be singing this? See that's just a common misconception Though I'm not real I got a huge reception A whole new dimension opened up All unexplored, and untouched Though many at first were quite perplexed They discovered soon enough I was quite "complex" A whole new axes called the complex plane Was completely invented just in my name I was the latest fad and all the rage Kids be writing a+bi all over the page Scribbled on sidewalks and on the billboards Finally I've come out from under the floorboards! Though they can multiply me and add me all the better In the end it's them who's caught in the letters I'm the last one standing, I make the difference Without me they would just be indifferent I hope you learned from this rap I gave When you hear my name you should rant and rave

SPOKEN: So class, today we're going to learn about Schrödinger’s cat, a thought experiment in quantum mechanics. RAP: So Schrödinger, he had this thought If he took a cat and he put it in a box With some radioactive matter There was a chance that the latter Might scatter And decay So if the atom was to go this way Let off an alpha ray A vial of acid would be shattered And the cat would die, but no matter The radioactive material Like a regular TV serial You know what could happen But you don't know what will happen So they say we could have decay Or maybe it'll just stay this way No decay So how would we know If the cat's alive or dead... Could it be both? CHORUS: Schrödinger he took a cat And he put it in a box He put a substance in the air That had a chance of going off And by the end of an hour's time We'd open up and see If the cat was alive and going strong Or as dead as a cat can be RAP: Well if we don't know the state of the cat Before we open the box to see where it's at Then the cat could be occupying Both states Hold up jump back Reiterate I said if we don't know the state of the cat Before we open the box to see where it's at Then the cat could be occupying Both states got it? Got it! The physicists they call this Superposition When you ain't in one state Or one condition And you ain't in the other By definition It's a mix of the two Think juxtaposition CHORUS: Schrödinger he took a cat And he put it in a box He put a substance in the air That had a chance of going off And by the end of an hour's time We'd open up and see If the cat was alive and going strong Or as dead as a cat can be RAP: This little experiment in someone's head Carries the weight of a brick of lead It has some far reaching implications And there have been many interpretations Is it the observer that makes the difference? The causes the cat to assume a preference Of the state of being alive or dead Or is it just one of the possible threads? Could every possibility, every probability, Be a new world, that simultaneously Exists in this universe And nobody would know Quantum decoherence Makes sure there's no appearance Of other worlds in our own Yeah, uh huh CHORUS: Schrödinger he took a cat And he put it in a box He put a substance in the air That had a chance of going off And by the end of an hour's time We'd open up and see If the cat was alive and going strong Or as dead as a cat can be SPOKEN: And that, class, is something to think about until next time.
