States of Matter Poem/Drama

By Campbell, Max C, Kaiden, Ben, Thomas, Brody, Carter and Blake

(with a little bit of help from Mrs Olynsma)

Matter is the stuff all around

The things that make the earth from the sky to the ground

Things that have weight and take up space,

It’s anything you see, touch or taste

Solids keep their shape and do not flow

The particles are tight and can not go

Solids are things like metal and bricks

They can be paper and pens and great big sticks

Liquids can flow to fill a bath

Or follow a river down it’s path

The particles move slowly past each other

Giving high fives to their brother

Gases can move freely around

They move all about from the sky to the ground

Gases are things like air, farts and steam

You can let out your breath with a very big scream
