Is it a music video or a catchy way to remember the elements? BoingBoing produced this fun animation featuring They Might Be Giants singing (and teaching us) about science.

Though the video was released back in 2009, it’s still a wonderful find to brush up on your basic science knowledge. As BigThink reported Wednesday, most Americans don’t know basic science facts.
