Meters, liters, and grams Now you don’t have to cram for your exam On the metric system (×2)
 * media type="file" key="09 - Meters, Liters, and Grams.mp3" width="240" height="20" || **Lyrics**

Let me start with ways you can measure a distance, length, or height Mad tall or super small, one of these will do you right If you try walking a meter, it’s easy to complete Because a meter’s just a little bit more than 3 feet But if you’re walking a kilometer it’s gonna take a while It’s 1000 meters, that’s over half a mile! A centimeter’s dinky, the width of your pinky 100 of them go into a meter, you still with me? There’s another kind of meter smaller than that It’s not very fat, it’s called a millimeter in fact, and it’s tiny 1000 of them in a meter fit That’s 10 in a centimeter, and that’s it!
 * Verse I**


 * Chorus**

Now we’re moving on to the liters, measuring liquids in containers We’ve only got 2, it won’t take long to explain this A liter, it’s half a big bottle of soda pop And a milliliter, it’s just about 20 drops There’s 1000 milliliters in a liter you know So if you got both of those you’re good to go Now we can move on to the grams, measuring weight Kilograms, milligrams, yeah we’re keeping them straight It’s pretty simple. A paper clip weighs about a gram A big textbook is a kilogram, man, but A milligram, that’s a little harder to slice Because 10 milligrams is about a grain of rice 1000 milligrams, is a gram 1000 grams in a kilogram Now we got grams and we also got liters Put ‘em all together with the meters ||
 * Verse II**
 * media type="file" key="1-09 Lab Safety!.mp3" width="240" height="20" || Lyrics

Chorus Wait, you’ve gotta make sure that your lab is safe Before you make a measurement, scope out the space Got your gloves pulled up, got your goggles on Don’t want to be another lab experiment gone wrong

Go with goggles, go with the gloves! Go without food, and spit out your gum! Go safe! Go safe! And get into it Go safe scientists, no accidents!

Verse I You know the science lab can be a pretty dangerous place You gotta wear safety goggles to protect your face And just in case you still end up with stuff in your eye You should know how to find the eyewash nearby

And as a matter of fact, know where the exits are too ‘Cause if a fire starts, you better know what to do And you don’t have to be a hero, try to break the mold Be sure to follow all directions and just do as you’re told

It reminds me of this time I was sitting in lab Trying to work through the experiment and give it a stab When my partner started grabbing chemicals from the shelves Started mixing up some liquids with unusual smells

Before he could stop, it began to bubble up In a couple of seconds he was in deep, deep trouble So maybe mixing crazy potions didn’t go as he’d planned He didn’t follow the directions and he burned his hand (ouch!)

Chorus

Verse II It’s lab time and you’re ballin’, on top of things Hypothesis made the call on what you want to see But hold up, because it looks like you forgot some things Before you pour, let me know what’s wrong with this scene

Your eyes are wide open to take in results Or get blinded by all kinds of chemicals They could splash up and mess up your complexion So keep it hot, yo, and don those goggles

The same goes for your fingers, your hair, and your toes No flip-flops, your kicks should have the tips closed Your fingers should slip through the wrists of some gloves No acid contamination on your palms

And your nose, you’ve gotta steer clear of the chemicals Or they’ll burn your nostrils (and you kind of want those!)

Protect it, don’t smell it, just waft with me, waft with me Don’t need no medics, just waft with me, waft with me Hands over the flask, your nose hanging back Keep your nostrils intact, just waft with me, waft with me

Chorus

Verse III Hey, I think I really like this lab stuff I’m gonna do it again tomorrow ’cause I can’t get enough Of safely making crazy things happen, it’s fun It’s amazing, I’ve seen the reactions, I’m done

You’re almost done man, can you tell me your plan For what to do with all that toxic waste in your hand? I just heard the bell ring, I’ve gotta think quick I think I’ll wash it down the sink

Whoa, whoa, whoa Hold on, bro, how do you know where that goes? By tomorrow the sink will be starting to glow Put the waste in the designated receptacle And clean your station off before you take off, yo

“Put the caps on the bottles?” Yeah, that’s right.

“Wipe the tabletop off?” Yeah, that’s right.

“Run the flask under water?” Yeah, that’s right.

You cleaned up real nice, see, and nobody died ||
