Chemistry Haiku Poetry
Name ______Sci ______
Directions: Research some famous chemists. The more you research, the higher your grade. Explain the discoveries of each scientist. Write some haiku poetry to summarize what you have learned. You must then write at least two haiku poems for each chemist. You may write as much as you like. (Shouldn’t these poems be called “Sciaiku”? I think so.) As you know, the first line of haiku is 5 syllables. The second line consists of 7 syllables. The last line has 5 syllables. See the example below:

In the April wind.
