Honors Chemistry Poetry Project

(I’m sorry, guys! I posted this under 2011 instead of 2012. It was a little too far back for you to find!)

Chemistry in poetry – who’d of thought of such a thing? Any questions? Don’t forget to print out the Periodic Table of Poetry Mini Project – Honors requirements. Here’s how you’re going to pick an element. Sign up here by posting a comment with your element. The person who signs up first gets that element – be sure and check all the way down to the very first person to post, you may have to go to the previous page. Only one person per element!

Here are a few samples I found that don’t exactly follow the guidelines that I gave you, but I thought they’d give you a bit of inspiration. 🙂

first up is beryllium

there once was a prince called william
who made a car out of beryllium
the car broke down
and knocked off his crown
and now he makes them out of aluminium

second is lithium
lithium sweet lithium
will kill me if i eat it
lithium sweet lithium
will melt when we heat it
lithium sweet lithium
can power all our stuff
lithium sweet lithium
can feel very rough
jump for joy and run around ther’s stuff that could be done
when you’re playing with lithium you’re bound to have some fun

and lastly for now, helium

it’ll make your voice go high
and balloons fly in the sky
it’s a noble gas
with a very small mass
with a full first shell
its really cool as well

  1. Ms Skinner,
    I’ve decided to do the glog, but i was wondering is there a way we can be particularly creative with the pictures on it, like for the poster? Because once you add the picture on the glog, you can just put a frame and I think that’s all you can do with it

    • Flavia – I believe there are several ways for you to be creative with the pictures – you can add borders, captions, make them pop, maybe even add other graphics to the pictures, etc. Why don’t you look at some glogs that other people have done. At the the top tool bar of glogster.com (to the left of where you log in), open Categories, and then look in Glogpedia. You can find tons of glogs that other people have done to get ideas from them. Also, sometimes it works for me to just start clicking and exploring to find what all I can do. 🙂

    • Cody – That’s because you didn’t open your account by clicking on your name before you created the glog. You created it under my name instead. That’s okay – and I don’t think you can move it now.

  2. ms skinner i mad a glog and it said that it saved and now i cant find it. i dont know if you got or not so do you think you could look and see if its there or something and let me know?

  3. Ms. Skinner –
    I was about through with my glog and decided to download jing. After I did, I have viruses on my computer – now I am afraid to continue work on it. So, I just bought a poster and am starting over…yay…
