Episode 1 of In Search of Giants: Dr Brian Cox takes us on a journey through the history of particle physics. In this episode we learn that the Greeks knew about atoms and how Mendeleyev's periodic table was among the first clues that the atom had a deeper structure. This film is part of a series originally broadcast on Teachers' TV (www.teachers.tv The series was made with the support of The Science and Technology Facilities Council (www.scitech.ac.uk). www.lhc.ac.uk - Official UK LHC website for public and schools. www.particledetectives.net - School resources on the LHC, how science works and particle physics.

A birthday present for Professor Martyn Poliakoff. The cakes - baked and decorated by undergraduates at the University of Nottingham - were presented early because The Prof was due to be in Ethiopia his actual birthdate on December 16. Big thanks to Radmila (icing ninja), Emily (with the steady hand), Alice, Rob (assistant cameraman), Aimie (chief organiser), Astrid, and Rebecca (cake whisperer).

Many people have heard of Tom Lehrer's 'The Elements' song. One day I decided to search for it online to memorise some stuff about the elements and found out that Daniel 'Harry Potter' Radcliffe had recently recited it on TV. I wondered what he (and the viewers) might have learnt about the elements by listening to it but shock horror...after listening I realised the song hadn't actually told me anything about The Periodic Table, except what's on it! So I decided to do my own song, specifically about The Periodic Table. The chorus contains the first 36 elements in order up to Krypton. The first verse covers general info about the Periodic table. The second verse lists the Alkali Metals and The Alkaline Earth Metals. The third verse lists the Halogens and the Noble Gases. Let me know if this rap helps you at all...or if it doesn't. Out of interest, if you manage to memorise the chorus, how long did it take. good luck with your studies, or thirst for knowledge. Peace, OK

This is my attempt to animate the famous Elements song by Tom Lehrer. (If you want the lyrics, just do a web search for "Tom Lehrer Elements lyrics".) I used the following software to create this: • Visual C# Express • AviSynth • VirtualDub It took me about 9 hours in total. (This is a second version. The original version had a few errors which I've corrected.)

This is a video I did for my Chemistry class back at community college for extra credit. It documents the history of the periodic table. (I even got an interview with Dmitri Mendeleev himself!) Very educational.

***********************Its a great honor to have our little cartoon featured on Wired Magazine. (www.wired.com) As the number 5 top video about science. We would be pleased if you saw the other 9 videos featured. www.wired.com **************** A Useless Bay Production of The Elements Song (or the Periodic Table Song) by Tom Lehrer Yes, we are very much aware that "silicone" is not the same as "silicon" however there are silicon piano keys in the picture, if anyone has noticed. We aren't chemists, and we aren't even very good animators over here at Useless Bay. *************** To Students and Instructors: If you would like to use this video please email us and we'll be happy to send you a copy. Please share, post, show, broadcast or transmit, we would be honored to donate our project. We can correct the glaring administrative error in the cartoon, as well and make it a little more family friendly. Gene at Useless Bay Productions ************************* www.myspace.com
