Science Review: Silverstein inspired poem

Science Poem

Did you know that some scientists believe,

That life didn’t start on Earth?

But came from Outer Space you see,

And for what it’s worth,

They think that a comet, hit the Earth,

Carrying all the proteins of what  living things are formed,

There are many theories about the origin of life on Earth,

But none that are proven true.

 

Did you know that Nature provides,

Many different forms of Energy?

Energy that comes from the changes of the tides,

From Oil, from Wind, from the sea.

Coal and oil are the main sources,

But they are non-renewable,

Now scientists are finding different ways and courses,

Of Energy we can renew.

 

Did you know that Medical books,

Like the Book of surgery,

Originated from Egypt, by the looks,

On papyrus they put down some early remedies,

Dental Care is also from here,

The first Dentist s known as Hesi Re,

Though some mistakes brought their patients tears,

They carried with it through and through.

 

Did you know, that it takes light,

About eight minutes from to go from the sun to the Earth?

Watching it do so Oh what a sight!

Nothing travels faster than it on Earth.

Light always travels in a straight line,

Except when a solid object blocks it way,

 Did you know that even though light appears white,

Various colors make it up like purple, yellow, and blue.

 

Did you know that there is Enough,

Solar Energy on Earth to meet all of our needs,

But capturing it can be tough, so we use Solar panels indeed,

Solar cells capture sunlight,

Using silicon crystals on the panels,

The light knocks loose electrical charges all right,

 Which are carried threw wires, who knew!

 

Did you know that Egypt’s earliest calendar

Was based on the phases of the moon

But the Sirius star was the new trend bender

And their calendar changed pretty soon

Now their calendar had 365 days,

Just like ours does now,

And when Cleopatra was Queen she made Caesar obey,

And the Romans had the calendar too!

 

Did you know that a magnet field,

 Is the force around a magnet?

 The magnet was discovered in China, For real!

In 200 BC, when they also discovered the poles of a magnet,

The poles of a magnet, is what makes a compass,

Tell you which way was North,

Magnets are also used on a refrigerator,

By holding up noted that help you remember too!
