BBC Schools - Science Topics - Elements of the Periodic Table.



A re-run in the early 80s of a brilliant programme from BBC Schools first shown in 1976. It shows some great 'on screen' reactions and experiments with different elements. It also shows the exploding Airship and best of all contains the song 'The Elements' (1959) by musical humorist Tom Lehrer, which recites the names of all the chemical elements known at the time of writing, up to number 102, nobelium. It can be found on his albums More Songs by Tom Lehrer and An Evening Wasted with Tom Lehrer. The song is sung to the tune of the Major General's Song from The Pirates of Penzance by Gilbert and Sullivan.
