The wind speed is so fast. The wind starts to go faster and faster. It can spin faster like spiral.

These are liquid, solid and gas. Matter is everything that exists and takes up space in some way. Solids are things that keep their shape. Liquids spread out because they don't have their own shape, they take the shape of the thing they're in. Gases sometimes have a smell, but they have no shape and we can't see them. Some gases can make people faint. Some gases are heavier than other gases. There are heaps of solids.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#990000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#990000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">By Kabir, Divij, Roberto, Raqib, Nevin, Hayley and Kuresa</span></span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1672687145144717253.post-89315098382663968372011-06-12T14:50:00.001-07:002011-06-13T17:15:19.333-07:00What's Your Favourite Book?<div style="text-align: justify;">Miss Galbraith's favourite story is 'Bad Jelly the Witch' by Spike Milligan.
