Ben F. Haiku Fish They swim in the water Some swim in fresh, some in salt Peacefully swimming

Samantha W. Free Verse Cheetahs As fast as the speed of lightning. Cheetahs are leaders. Showing their young ones how to survive. BOOM. The cheetah pounces at its hopeless prey. Got it, the dinner for the night. The pattern on their skin is as detailed as a newly fallen snowflake. The prey tastes divine in the cheetah's mouth. The sky turns in to a sea of stars. Which alarms the cheetah it's time to rest. The young ones falling asleep to their mother's heart beat.

Sam R. rhythm/rhyme poem Light the match: if you drop it don't scream, Mr. William is very keen lets try again: put it to the candle wick all it needed was a little kick and now you are ready to start your experiment i hope you have all the right equipment:)

Nicole G.

rhyme/rhythm swish the match is in flames, as i carefully light the candle, it's sort of a game, the chocolate chip on the metal handle, because the molecules came, conduction the clip get hot now to, i blame the brass because that wire came in last, copper, iron, then brass better give copper a tip, lier what a shame you can't give up the game, but at some point you must at last fill out papers, letters, whatever, say goodbye to your guys materials and call them again another day, you could say it's over for now.

**__Materials__**
**M** atches are lit and are eager to light candles. **A** flask is filled up, but is sad when the water is moved to a flask. **T** ables save the precious water that is spilled, feeling like a hero. **E** ye droppers are hurt when squeezed, but enjoy letting the water flow out of them. **R** ubber gloves are used to keep one from burning his/her hand, giving the gloves satisfaction. **I** see the food coloring and water having fun, and then they mix to make green water. **A** battery and wires are jolted when they get to light a bulb. **L** iquid is poured into a flask, and is extemely jubilant. **S** mash! The beaker is dropped and it brakes.The beaker is considered dead. :(

**MATERIALS** -They have feelings too, you know.

Vishruth P. Free Verse Poem __**Gram**__

Gram you're so minute A thousand of you produces a kilogram If anyone drops you its like dropping something in midair Because you don't make a sound Your weight is used to measure an object There are not many objects that weigh as much as you Some springs weigh as much as you When someone drops them they make a pop But there are a lot of objects that multiply your weight Some of them are plates, platforms, plates Even though you are minute You have a weight set

**Eletromagnetic Spectrum**

 * Bright, light zooming by**
 * Invisible you can not see them**
 * Except for visible light rays**
 * Infrared rays hit the black top fast**
 * Water falls on the ground**
 * Sizzle, Sizzle goes the Water**
 * Now it can not be found**

Laura R. Structured poem

Solar System Vast and unexpolored Beatiful, mysterious, galaxies I wish we knew more Space
 * __The Solar System__**

__Electromagnetic Spectrum__ First come radio waves Short and wide Then there’s radar Part of radio waves’ hide Microwaves next Not the kind that cooks your food MRI finds bacteria And puts you in a good mood Infrared rays are hot They heat us up Visible light is vital How else could we see close-up? UV rays are a mixed bag Killing germs but giving burns X-rays are cool too They tell us when a bone turns Gamma rays are last, but certainly not least Killing cancer cells makes them totally neat The electromagnetic spectrum is very cool I just love learning about it in school.

Ali B. Freeverse Poem

**__Birds__**

A bird is as colorful as a rainbow It fly's high in the sky and migrates along the beautiful mountians and trees. A bird is small and a bird is big, but they are like an angel with perfect wings. All year round we see birds, we can observe thier legnth, thier wingspan, thier width as they nest in the ground or the trees.

Juliana R. Freeverse Poem

__** Plants **__ I never met my mother, I never met my father, But I do not grieve For that is the fate of all of us, All of us flowers We are brothers and sisters We are all connected by the soil of the earth, The soil that keeps us all living

Cam M. Rhyme/Rhythm **__Birds__** Its a bird, its a plane, its a bird again, And his flying deserves a TEN! Look at him go, A bad flyer no. As he soars through the sky, It's so cool I might die. And then he flawlessly lands on the branch of a tree, And walks towards his nest so diligently. Until he sinks back into his nest, I will always think it's the best.

 * Migrating can be so beautiful**


 * It is so graceful to watch birds**


 * Got to experience this event**


 * Ready, set, go birds think in their mind**


 * After they start they’re ready for whatever they undergo**


 * The birds are ready to move**


 * If they don’t go now they won’t survive**


 * Once they’re out there is no turning back**


 * Not until spring when they come back home**
