Songs and Poems To Help Us Learn
Written and Compiled byMrs. Marsha Joyner
Metric RhymeI say millimeter, you say pencil tip.
I say centimeter, you say fingertip.
I say decimeter, you say brand new crayon.
I say meter, you say width of the door.
I say kilometer, you say ten minute walk.Utah Education network
Customary Length12 inches in a foot,
3 feet in a yard,A yard is 36 inches, That’s not very hard.5,280 feet in a mile,
When it comes to me,Measuring lengthI know this stuff
And SMILE!
Radius and Diameter Rhyme
Hey diddle diddleRadius is to the middleBut look who’s boss?
Diameter’s all the way across
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
Three Branches Song
(sung to the tune of Three Blind Mice)
Three branches, Three branchesSee how they work, See how they workThe legislative branch makes all the lawsThe Executive branch carries them out,The Judicial branch makes sure they’re obeyedThree branches

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.
