Science Rap - Acid, Do You Love Me?

Tamaki Productions returns with another science rap! The main character is a base (not an acid), and he is wearing a blue shirt and singing from his perspective as a base.


Lyrics and images cover lots of different concepts from the Year 11 NCEA Exam Acids and Bases!

One example is when the base sings "acid, do you love me, are we colliding, say you'll never neutralize here without me." 

When an acid and a base react, that chemical reaction is called a neutralization reaction. 
They react to form a salt, and water. 

There is lots of analysis you could do on this video with students, such as why particles in the drone shot move faster when red and orange 'flames' are being shaken in the shot? 

Why does the litmus character throw blue paper up in the air while the base sings about her, and the phenolphthalein character throw pink?!

What does the umbrella in the drone shot represent? Why does everyone link arms when the umbrella passes over them? What is that meant to show?

We hope you like it :)

  5. Kia Ora Tamaki College,

    I think that your movie is wonderful. I loved how you remade the song Kiki into a learning and educational song.

    I have recently made a movie about worms.

    Do you think you will remake a song next year?

    1. Hi Javarn, thank you for commenting! I thought your comment was interesting, (I'm pretty old so I don't know these things) - is X-factor for singing and Britains Got Talent for dancing? I wonder if there's Maori Got Talent, because the two girls are both Maori! They're all very talented aren't they :) Do you sisters already like dancing too? We used a tripod to keep the camera very still, and when we did the panning shot in class we put the tripod on a chair with wheels and pushed it along! Hehe. Thank you for your comment.

    Your guys version of the Keke challenge it's awesome, I like the twins when they dance and I also like when the boy sings. Someday I might try out your guys science things. Do you guys think you should share this video around the world? I do I think you should because this video is awesome.

    1. Hi Laina, it would be awesome to send the video worldwide! What would you make a science video about? When you come to Tamaki College you can test the pH of different chemicals and make acid-base solutions! Fun times. Thanks for your comment.

  10. Kia Ora Tamaki College, I enjoyed listening to your song. Your remake of in my feelings was funny and how did you guys come up with a lyrics like that?

    1. Hi Mele, thanks for your comment :) I like writing lyrics about different topics. The trick is to know lots about the topic. Then you pick the song that you want, open a Google Doc, create a table with 2 columns and then paste in the real lyrics on the left. Then you try to write lyrics in the same beat as the real ones, but about your topic! Which topic would you pick? And what's your favourite song! Maybe I could write you a quick example!

  15. Hi Year 1,
    My name is Mei I go to saint Pius.I really like you movie. I thought your movie was great because you are really trying to teach us something with your movie and song. I think next time you should do a movie explaining what you told us about in your song.

  19. Hello my name is Krisina. I attend Wesley Intermediate School, and I am a year 7. I really like how you guys covered up 'In my feelings' by making it your own. It made me think about how Pt England made a video, and it had this song in it they used it for a dance battle. I liked everything especially the girls dance moves!

    You did a great job on making this! I really enjoyed the Kiki Parody and the science you added into it. It must've taken you a long time to make something as beautiful as this.
    Keep up with the good work! Also... how did you add the music to your film?

  22. Kia ora and greetings to Tamaki College!

    My name is lesina from Christ the King school. I loved the dancing and when you chucked the red and blue papers. Your video was so interesting! I like how it about science and knowledge but one of the things I really liked is the lyrics because instead of saying "Kiki do you love me?" you said "Acid do you love me" also this was the most coolest slash best video. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK TAMAKI COLLEGE!

  26. Hello my name is Zariah from Christ the king School. I like your video because it is based on science and the music is from a song that was created this year. I'm just wondering why is it based on a song & did you just make it up on the spot or were you just having fun?
