Video Bonus...

Watch this video from Mr. Anderson at Bozeman Science to earn an extra +5 Bonus Points on the quiz over 2A-B on Tuesday, September 4, 2018.

DISCLAIMER: In this video you will see exactly how scientists with a naturalistic worldview believer that the universe began with a big bang. He begins with the premise that since matter is growing farther apart (with dark matter supposedly filling in the empty spaces), scientists will reverse the timeline to the point where everything began at one point in time. Hence the Big Bang Theory.

What they don't acount for is where that dot of matter and energy came from. With a Biblical perspective, when God spoke the world into existence, matter was created.

But the rest of the video will be a review of the basics of matter. Watch...review...and earn!

The Story of Air France Flight 447...

The introduction to the first chapter in our 9th and 10th grade Physical Science told the story of the last fatal flight of Air France flight 447 from Rio de Janeiro to Paris in 2009. As we learned about the applications of science into real life situations we also studied about the use of models and the scientific method.

For two years little was known about what actually happened during the final minutes of the crew and passengers who were 370 miles out into the Atlantic. Billions of Euros were spent recovery small pieces here and there. Much speculation was made until finally both black boxes were uncovered in 2011.

During the last four days we only scratched the surface of how physics and chemistry played a part in the crash and the recovery of AF 447. Below is a serious of four, fifteen minute videos produced by the BBC and uploaded onto YouTube that describe in more depth the science behind those lost on Flight 447.

Special Days...

Check out the new page above right next to the Grading Scale tab under the title at the top of this blog. We have some special days planned and encourage everyone to participate. Check them out!!

Earning Extras...

We're gearing up for the first day of school in just a week! As we've started teacher's meetings we have planned some pretty awesome things this next year. Hope you're just as excited as we are! When of the new things planned is our class competitions for Box Tops and My Coke Rewards Codes. You've probably already seen the project and bulletin boards promoting our collections at church.

Each teacher is trying to earn the grand prize of $25 and an extra 30 minute recess for their class with a frozen treat. But let me tell you how you can earn extra Box Tops and Coke Codes for your class...

I have two bags containing 15 extra Box Tops in each one; and another two bags with 30 extra Coke Codes. Bring in Box Tops and Codes ffor the month of September and you will be entered to win one of these bags for your class!!

So let's get to it! Ask around your neighborhood or around the church for them. Let's reach our goal of $500 for each!
