I say centimeter, you say fingertip.

I say meter, you say width of the door.

I say kilometer, you say ten minute walk.Utah Education network

3 feet in a yard,A yard is 36 inches, That’s not very hard.5,280 feet in a mile,

Remember Your Triangles

Two sides equal, one side not,Isosceles is what you’ve got.No sides equal, that’s what I mean,You’ve got a triangle we call scalene.If your triangle forms an LThat’s out of sight!Then your triangle is called a right.Last of all when all the sides are the same,Equilateral’s the name of the game.

Rock Cycle SongSung to the tune of “Row, Row, Row Your Boat”

SEDIMENTARY rockHas been formed in layersOften found near water sourcesWith fossils from decayers

Then there’s IGNEOUS rockHere since Earth was bornMolten L\lava, cooled and hardenedThat’s how it is formed.

These two types of rocksCan also be transformedWith pressure, heat, and chemicalsMETAMORPHIC they’ll become.

The Longitude – Latitude Poem

The longitude lines go up and down,While the latitude lines go round and

round.The International Dateline and the Prime

MeridianSplit the earth down the middle like a

hotdog bun.Now wait a minute…did I hear you say?The Equator splits it the hamburger way.

History, anthropology, archaeologyGeography, psychology, sociology.People, places, things and ideas,

That’s what Social Studies is.By Jacquie Eaton

7 Continents Rhyme

To learn the seven continentsThink the letter A

Then when you’re down to only oneAn E will save the day,

There’s Africa, Antarctica, Australia, Asia too,Between them flow the oceans with their water

deep and blue.And then there’s two Americas

North and South you seeNow we’re down to only one

Europe starts with E.
