Thursday, May 7th - Morning Agenda

Good morning! 

Things are going to run a little differently this morning.  The Drama Elective class is running chapel this morning and needs time to get it all set up. 

 Mr. Hayden and Mr. Dorie have kindly offered to sub in for me while myself and the students in Drama busily prepare. 

This is how the morning will run:

8:30 - 9:00 - Attendance, Announcements, Devotions 
Announcements:  Congratulations to YASHA who almost scored a goal in last night's soccer game.  She played awesome! Sadly, however, the season is over for the Senior Girls Soccer team.
 

9:00 - 9:20 - DPA with Mr. Hayden 

9:20 - 10:10 - Make sure you have finished the definition notes on Chapters 8 and 9.  Then copy and paste this into a document on google drive or the file server and work through this Science lesson:

Geology Notes from the Science Probe Textbook

1.  Read pages 178 – 183

What are the 8 properties that are used to classify minerals?

2.  Read 188 – 193

Fill in the following chart with the definition from the text or from the glossary at the end of the textbook. 

Magma
Igneous rock
Intrusive
Lava
Extrusive
Sediment
Sedimentary rock
Metamorphic rock

3. Read pages 210 and 211 on The Rock Cycle

Then go to this website and scroll over the parts and enjoy the animations:

4. Before you go to the next section on fossils, please watch this creation research video on fossil dating.  http://www.cbn.com/tv/1420801889001

a) How does Mount St. Helens show radiometric dating to be false?

b) So, just based on this one example, do you think the earth is millions of year old?

Now, watch this video, http://www.cbn.com/tv/1422170242001

a) Why are people so upset by the book that shows how the Grand Canyon is not millions of years old? 

Now you have learned the truth – your textbook lies!  Everywhere you read “millions of years old”, you just need to remember that creation scientists have much more evidence than evolutionist scientists that the earth is only thousands, not millions of years old.  For example, the picture on page 195 says that the ammonite is 170 million years old.  That is not true.  

Now you can read pages 194 to 197 and be able to critically discern the errors in your textbook.  Let’s just define some of the key terms on these pages. 

Fossils
Fossil record
Geologic Time Scale

If you are still really interested in this whole subject of fossil dating, watch these videos: http://www.answersingenesis.org/media/video/ondemand/dating-fossils-and-rocks/dating-fossils-and-rocks

5. The next section is on Weathering.  Read pages 198 to 203. Define the following terms:

Weathering
Mechanical weathering
Ice wedging
Chemical weathering
Biological weathering

6. Read pages 204 to 207.  Define the following terms:

Erosion
Deposition
Valley
Plains
Delta
Fiords

Now, complete the following quiz and print out the results.  These will be recorded in students achieve.

10:10 - 10:30 - Recess 

10:30 - 10:55 - Continue Science work.  If you are finished, then please free read.  

10:55- 12:00 - GREAT and WONDERFUL CHAPEL featuring the DRAMA CLASS!
