Writing Group 1 - States of Matter Song

The Three States of Matter (To the tune of Twinkle, Twinkle)

By Esther, Liam, Lucas, Bella, Cooper, Toby, Hailey and Zara

(with a little bit of help from Mrs Olynsma)

Solid, liquid and a gas,

All of these have weight called mass,

Anything that takes up space,

Is called matter, like your face

Solid, liquid and a gas,

Volume takes up space not mass

Solid things they keep their shape

Like a superhero cape

Rocks and steel and beds and bikes

Books and socks and glass and trikes

Solid things they do not flow

That is something that we know!

Liquids they are very runny

They’re not solids but more like honey

They take the shape of what they’re in

Even if they are poured in a bin

Liquids flow around the place

If not kept within a space

Gas is something you can’t see

It is all around you and me

Breath is gas and so are farts

CO2 is used in carts

Gas moves quickly around the place

We can breathe it in our face
