ReplyDeleteScience shows scientists special studies about snakes, slugs, sharks and seals.
ReplyDeleteAlleriteration.
DeleteI couldn't think of any things that made sense so I used this one:
ReplyDeleteHer raw red eyes will
the bands to separate.
Her labcoat weighs heavy
on shoulders hunched over the apparatus.
Her gloved hands ache from pipetting.
Not long now.

I'd say that its probably imagery but, its hard to tell.
DeleteWhat planet is grey and yellow and has rings?
ReplyDeleteI believe it is famous for its icy flat rings in several groups of strings.

Are you part of the Saturn set?
When you look high in the sky, it sparkles with bling.

ReplyDeleteLet your fingers explore the wonderful garbage by Clarita
ReplyDeletecrevices of the globe, sitting aside pen holders,
paper cups, things made of the earth. Your fingertips
smile at the notion that they can “see”
A massive wind begins to blow;
ReplyDeleteNo one’s quite sure why.
But it’s quite clear the gas and stuff
Begins to really fly.
aliteration
Wouldn't it be great
ReplyDeleteto become a cell.
Hurry up! Don't be late!
Have to shrink you! It's all well!
Touring bones and veins too,
Red blood cells swim through plasma,
No! That's not goo!
The extra fluid in the blood; Yeah!
Oh look! Platelets!
You want a scab?
They make it!
Don't be a crab!
So now you see
What it would be
to be a cell!
I used personification a few times.
Cells cells there made of organelles the nucleus controls everything.

ReplyDeleteIsn’t it beautiful
ReplyDeletethat we are made of cells?
So simple, yet so complex
so small and yet so powerful.Onion cells by Asagio from morguefile
Busy inside us
replicating, dividing
regenerating
growing at a rapid pace.
Supplying us with energy.
Giving us life.
So simple, yet so complex.
A myriad of cells
interacting with other cells.
All united in one.
the nervous system is like a mall,
ReplyDeletewith thousands of impulses throughout them all.
simile
DeleteThe word "metaphor" comes from ancient Greek and is defined, carrying over.
ReplyDeleteThe cell membrane is like the guard to a door
DeleteThings taken in while others it will ignore
The nucleus is the center of them all
It controls the whole cell and is always on the ball.
personification,simile
the rock moves down the volcano
ReplyDeleteO laboratory! How sublime is your splendor!
ReplyDeleteMicroscopes, benches and gadgets garnish your space.

Needs a leaf!

ReplyDeleteA giant tall tree?
Where does it come from?
Let’s read, and let’s see!
Trees you can see,
Growing so tall,

Start out as something,
That’s really quite small…
Like bushes, and cacti,
And grasses, and weeds,
Trees begin their long life,
By sprouting from seeds…

In the early part of spring,
ReplyDeleteYou will hear, many birds sing.
They are just letting, the rest of us know,
Winter is over, spring melted the snow.
You will notice, a beautiful scene,
The trees will slowly, begin to turn green.
Chipmunks and bunnies will come out and play,
Bears will no longer, sleep during the day.
It's exciting, when spring finally arrives,
Bees will make honey, inside their hives.
So much to do, so much to see,
Insects and animals, are happy and free.

ReplyDeletePersonification
DeleteJust Imagine....
ReplyDeleteThe ground under your feet starts shaking
Picture frames fall off the wall
The walls and the roof start breaking
You don't know what it the world is happening at all
A ceiling support comes crashing down
Your sister's gonna cry
Your parents wear a horrible frown
Is there something falling from the sky?
You make your way to the creaking door
The air is clouded with dust
You don't want to be here anymore
Finally you're out the door, the wind blows a big gust
You run across the street and see a woman very frantic
She holds a small child's, with tears streaming down its face
The woman starts over exaggerating, saying "This is worse the the Titanic!"
You run into her house and see the news channel is on, and you see right before it breaks,
A man on the screen saying, "Stay safe! Prepare! Get ready for an Earthquake!"
Some metaphor, and theres Imagery.
DeleteAnd quick correction, "She holds the small child's -HAND-"
Thump - thump,
ReplyDeleteGlump - glump,

Not 2 arms,

This poem has alliteration and onomatopoeia.
A heart beat is a beating drum in the battle field.
ReplyDeleteStanza's are hard and I don't want to write one.
ReplyDeleteScience is like a surprise gift.
ReplyDeleteOnce you open it, instantly your life changes.
It grows into something more no one can explain.
You'll want to get and give that surprise gift again and again.
(Uses personification and simile)
Science is like an endless roll of toilet paper, we will never know where it ends.

I walked into class and saw on the board,
Bill Nye getting right up, in some ore,
I walked up to Rube Dog
And said hello, what are we doing,
then he ate my toe.
Would you like to cell me that weathering rock?
ReplyDeleteIdiom
Checklist are like that one person breathing over your shoulder while your taking a test.
ReplyDeleteI walk into class. This is what I see. Everyone listening to Mr. Ruby. I got my laptop in its case and I use it to work work work work work. Science is real and I know it.

I use all my bones,
To keep me alive!
I need 206!
Not 205!
Give me my bone,
It’s calcium rich,
I’ve got a ball game,
I need it to pitch!
Supporting my body,
Protecting inside,
Where heart, kidneys, lungs,
And others reside!
Give me my bone back!"
I yelled at the thief,
And finally he gave it,
What a relief
He gave the bone back
And left without harm
Now all the right bones
Are in my right arm...
Click my NAME!!
DeleteA head like a snake a neck like a drake as straight as a beam and as fast as a bream a foot like a cat and a tail like a rat as graceful as a horse and as powerful as G-Force
ReplyDeleteBones
ReplyDeleteDo you ever think about your bones?
The way the support everything we do.
They break and they age and they grow.
Bones hold every story you've ever told.
From the time you broke your toe dancing to ice ice baby
to the time you wrote a new chapter.
Bones are everything we are
and everything we ever will be
Our bones are what's left behind
after we move on to the next life
Our bones will tell our lives stories.
The carpal tunnel from writing, painting and playing an instrument
these are all left behind
to tell the archaeologists we
were here
and we tried to show the world
we cared
about its
Bones

If i could say....
I think I did well

This poem has alliteration and onomatopoeia.
Neptune is furthest away from the Sun.The spectacular solar system
ReplyDeleteIt’s extremely cold but still seems like fun.
It has faint, faint rings
and other cool things
like weighing more than a tonne.
Uranus is a giant ball of gas
which has a mega, mega mass.
It is number seven
and looks like heaven.
It would be a dream to go past.
Saturn is the second largest.
Its radiant rings are the best.
It is very cold
and I have been told
that it is way, way better than the rest.
Jupiter has dusk and dawn
ever since the day it was born.
It has a red dot
called the great red spot
which is a huge, huge wind storm.
Mars is a cold, cold desert.
However, it could be pleasant.
With rust in its surface
to mine for a purpose
we’d soon have a fabulous present.
Only Earth is a planet with water
which takes up just more than a quarter.
With heaps of things living
dancing and singing
some creatures are taller, some shorter.
Venus is so very hot.
In size, it’s like Earth quite a lot.
It looks bright at night
like an LED light.
Is 400 degrees hot or what!
Mercury has almost no air.
No human could breathe over there.
It is awesomely dry
like a cloudless blue sky.
I think I’ll learn more stuff to share!
life is like
ReplyDeletea wahle
but not at
all we
are just
swimming
Metaphor: Mr Ruby is as nice as Glinda the good witch.

Kaboom!
ReplyDeleteKa-blast
Way in the past
the miners mined for ore.
They searched for copper, iron and salt,
for that and much, much more.
Kaboom!
The bite
of dynamite
cut deep inside the earth.
The charge explodes revealing lodes
of minerals of worth.
Kaboom!
The dust,
the air so mussed
went swirling through the sky.
It was a sight, the dynamite
that made the mountains fly.
Kaboom!
The earth
was filled with mirth
so tickled by the boom.
The miner's pleasure,
each newfound treasure
that followed each
Kaboom!
Without your bones, you couldn't stand up.
ReplyDeleteyou wouldn't have much shape at all.
like a lump of clay or a jellyfish,
or a punctured rubber ball.
yes, to support you weight and hold your shape
bones are absolutely great!
long bones short bones big bones, small-you have 206 in all!
Spooky, scary skeletons
ReplyDeletesend shivers down your spine
Shrieking skulls will shock your soul
Seal your doom tonight
Spooky, scary skeletons
speak with such a screech
You'll shake and shudder in surprise
when you hear these zombies shriek
We're so sorry, skeletons
You're so misunderstood
You only want to socialize
(but I don't think we should)
'Cause Spooky, scary skeletons
shout startling, shrilly screams
They'll sneak from their sarcophagus
and just won't leave you be
Spirits, supernatural
are shy, what's all the fuss?
But bags of bones seem so unsafe
It's semi-serious!
Spooky, scary skeletons
are silly all the same
They'll smile and scrabble slowly by
and drive you so insane!
Sticks and stones will break your bones
They seldom let you snooze
Spooky, scary skeletons
will wake you with a BOO!

If you want to recycle don't use your motorcycle
ReplyDeleteplease use your bicycle
yo yo yo
Now if we don't recycle
The water cycle ends and the humans bend
and what there is nothing left.
Now you know what to do recycle, don't use your motorcycle
please use your bicycle
The world is important to me and to you
Please save it now, now, now
cause the world is going down,down,down
If you want to recycle don't use your motorcycle try to walk or use your bicycle
