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?
