A commenter, Aoife, pointed to another animation of Tom Lehrer’s “Elements Song.” This one has the best production values of the three I’ve posted, and it’s available on DVD (teachers, note that it comes bundled with other science stuff probably good for classroom use).
It’s Macromedia Flash animation, by a guy from Texas, Mike Stanfill; go see.
(Where are the economics, history and government flash animations of equal quality?)
When kids sit in my office with nothing to do, that’s the version I torture them with. I was looking for the link (couldn’t find it, since I assumed it was more utube…)
