Is It Sugar, Or Is It Salt?
Lyrics
Is it sugar, or is it salt?
They look so much alike.
Both look like little piles of sand.
Both are the color white.
I know they do not taste the same for one is oh, so sweet, and one will make my mouth water–it is not a tasty treat.
The reason salt and sugar look the same but taste very different is that they are made up of different elements.
Scientists made a chart of all the known elements.
This chart is called the periodic table.
This table lists all of the elements.
When different elements are joined together, they make different things.
I like to sprinkle salt on homemade popcorn
Or on my french fries when they are nice and warm.
But sugar is a treat when I make lemonade
Or eat a piece of toast with Mom’s apple marmalade.
When two or more elements join together, they make what is called a compound.
Salt and sugar are both compounds, but they are made from different elements.
Salt is made from two elements: sodium and chlorine, while sugar is made from three elements: carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
Isn’t science fascinating?
Is it sugar, or is it salt? Now I know what to say.
I’ll recite the proper elements and surprise my dad today!
