Science Videos

Here are the first two of the class' science videos they are currently working on.

Son Comes Over the Hill

The 6th & 7th graders got to sing in the song "Son Comes Over the Hill".  Check out the high school blog to view the other songs sung on Sunday.

What Can You Make a Video Of?

Tim Michaelis filmed and edited this video of the third graders' math class.   6th & 7th grade, what would you like to make a video of?  Post a comment of your brainstorm idea.

Also, send me the pictures you took from our nature walk the other day.  I would like to post the best ones to the blog.

Planets, Planets, Planets!

In science, we are studying the solar system.  This week we started painting the planets to make a complete set of the planets.  Soon, we are going to make the larger planets and sun by paper mache.

Poem on Psalm 115

This poem was brought in to school written by Juanita on Psalm 115.

We do not get the glory

For the gifts of Your story

Because of truth we give it to You

Because of mercy we praise what You do.

So why should the heathen say,

"Where is their God today?"

But our God is on high

He laughs at them in the sky.

For our God does whatever He wants

and pays no heed to their scornful taunts.

Heathen's idols are silver and gold

They are made by men and to men are sold

They gave mouths and eyes

Of the right size

Ears and noses

Fat hand and toeses.

Also these idols do possess feet

And perhaps a polished seat

But none of these features even work

And by them heathens do lurk.

For whoever makes idols, 

Idols they resemble,

So do those who worship in their temples. 

Oh house of Aaron, trust not in your sword.

If you fear the Lord,

He is your shield.

So to him alone you should pray and kneel.

The Lord remembers us year round,

And makes our great bounty abound.

He blesses Israel and Aaron

So does the Rose of Sharon

If you fear Him, He blesses you,

If you're small or great ,

He blesses you too.

The Lord shall increase you more and more

Your children should be like the sand on the shore

The Lord who made heaven and earth.,

He has blessed you greatly from your birth

Both heaven and earth the Lord made.

But He lives in the heaven, and on earth men are stayed.

The dead praise not the Lord,

neither any who in silence are stored.

But will bless the Lord from this time forth

His praises shall resound from south to north

From our lips His praises hath come forth.

Yes, His praises come from south and north.

Storyboarding

We watched these videos on storyboarding. The students are writing scripts on science topics, then they will storyboard out their videos.

Creation

We've been studying the creation.  The students were divided into two groups and made the following videos.  Check back tomorrow to see Davis and Clark's video and to vote on your favorite. Please post comments on how the students can improve in their video techniques.

Class Goals and Essay Writing

Posted is a video of what the 6th & 7th graders would like to make as a goal.



We began essay writing yesterday.  We are writing on how a boy becomes a knight.  The class is divided into two teams and they chose members to present how a boy reaches knighthood.

Computers and Writing

Some of the 6th & 7th graders had never seen the inside of a computer.  Today, we remedied that.  We took apart a laptop and tower.  The children had a very fun time.

We also began writing an essay about knights.  The students were divided into two groups and gave help to their team members.
