Radioactivity Song

Description

Here is a song I created to help my 6th grade students study. I hope you enjoy.

Protons, neutrons in nucleus
Holds vast amount of energy thus
Radiation-the particles
Radiation, losing alpha
Beta, gamma out of the atom crust
This is it, radiation emits
Whoa

They're breaking up, atoms are unstable
Alpha, beta, first to go
Last form is gamma rays, is gamma rays
Electromagnetic ways, are gamma rays
Whoa, whoa, it's radioactive, radioactive
Whoa, whoa, it's radioactive, radioactive


Clusters of pairs-protons, neutrons
Makes alpha particles then I suppose
Electrons lead out are beta
Whoa
And gamma rays, high energy
The EM waves move at the speed of light
This is it, radiation emits
Whoa

They're breaking up, atoms are unstable
Alpha, beta, first to go
Last form is gamma rays, is gamma rays
Electromagnetic ways, are gamma rays
Whoa, whoa, it's radioactive, radioactive
Whoa, whoa, it's radioactive, radioactive

Particles go, it hasn't died
New element, is found inside

They're breaking up, atoms are unstable
Alpha, beta, first to go
Last form is gamma rays, is gamma rays
Electromagnetic ways, are gamma rays
Whoa, whoa, it's radioactive, radioactive
Whoa, whoa, it's radioactive, radioactive
