Science:
Matter Poem There are three states of matter
Solid, liquid, gas
We'll begin with the latter
This test you can pass
A gas has no shape
It's molecules bounce all over the place
Gas tries to escape
Far out into space
A liquid moves freely
It's molecules can flow
They fill your glass easily
From place to place they go
A solid is firm
It's molecules locked in tight
There's no room to squirm
Try as a solid might
