Life Cycle of a Star
Twinkle twinkle little star
In the Universe so far
Born of nebular, a cloud
Of dust and gas
We shout out loud
Twinkle twinkle little star
In the universe so far
Temperatures rise and you get hot
A burning ball is what you've got
Matter presses all together
You are a young star
but not forever
Twinkle twinkle little star
In the universe so far
Then you shake and rattle and roll
Expand, grow larger, so I've been told
A Reg Giant is now your name
But that is not the end of the game
When Red Giants fall apart
Small dense stars twinkle
And are called White Dwarfs
If white dwarfs lose their energy
and become cold, as you will see
A Black Dwarf will be its name
Until a Black Hole is the end of its game
But if a Red Giant should explode
A Nova or Supernova is down the road.

The Maya People
(to the tune of This Land is Your Land)
The Maya people
Are an interesting culture
They spread through Mexico
And Central America
The land was rugged
And had dense swamps
Maya are neat as you can see.
The civilization
Lasted a long time
From AD 250
To AD 1200
They built great cities
And awesome temples
Maya are neat as you can see.
To the Maya people
Religion was important
They worship Gods
All of the time
They had great festivals
and celebrations
Maya are neat as you can see.
Mayan people were very short
The men were five feet
The women four eight
They had straight black hair
And loved crossed eyes
The Maya are neat as you can see.
Maya writing was very advanced
They used pictures
For ideas and symbols
They combined glyphs
Into groups
The Maya are neat as you can see.
The Maya math
Was really cool.
They used the idea of zero
And symbols for numbers
They used base 20
Like we use base 10
The Maya are neat as you can see.
This is the story
Of the Maya people
This interesting culture
Helped shape our lives
We know they were creative
And very smart
The Maya are neat as you can see.
