I was researching lesson plans to converge poetry and chemistry together, and found this on a site...it truly is wonderful. For me...as a Scientist, Science Teacher, and Poet...this was truly an example of what I was looking for, for my students to do. This was done by a middle school student. Love love love the Helium Balloon shape! Just wanted to share.....

Helium
A light inert, Nobel gas
Named after the sun God, Helios
It was discovered on the sun before on Earth
Discovered on the sun in 1868 & on the sun in 1895
Norman Lockyear was credited with finding it on earth &
Pierre-Jules-Cesar Janssen & William Ramsey on the sun
Not gravitationally bound to the earth so always lost in space
Future possible uses include coolant for nuclear fusion plants
A light, Odorless, Colorless, Tasteless, non-flammable gas
Commercially recovered from natural gas deposits mostly in
The United States specifically Texas Oklahoma & Kansas
Has the lowest boiling and melting point of any element
In liquid form used to create superconductive magnets
Makes up about 0.0005% of the earth's atmosphere
Doesn't combine easily with other elements
Used to inflate party balloons and blimps
Second most abundant element
Properties of superfluidity
