Awesome Science: Explore Meteor Crater and Petrified Forest w/ Noah Justice

                                                

  

This is the 3rd episode in the Awesome Science DVD series with Noah Justice. This episode explores Meteor Crater and the Petrified Forest. You are taken directly to these locations by Noah. Noah compares what evolutionist think compared to what Creationist think. He uses the Bible to back up the facts and disclaim what evolutionist think, this information is given in simple terms so that children can understand. He explains in detail about how the Petrified Forest was caused by the flood and uses a well known landmark to prove how this happened. He talks a little about sedimentary layers. The only part that might be of some concern for some parents is at the end of the video he uses a gun to shot a bullet into the ground to show the effects of a meteor (please note, his grandfather was there to supervise and it was noted that you shouldn't do this ever). I would say about the first 20 minutes or so focuses on the Petrified Forest, the rest of the video talks about meteors and craters. We love these videos and can't wait to enjoy more of them and add them to our homeschool library. As with the other videos in this series there are study guides that you can purchase to go along with the video. I highly recommend them, it helps to solidify what your child is learning in this series of videos and gives you so much more information.

Great for God (Missionaries Who Changed the World) by David Shibley

                                                        

                                                      

Oh my goodness! I LOVED this book. I read it to my 9 1/2 yr old son as apart of our homeschool curriculum for the 1st quarter. I loved that it covered so many missionaries (23 all together), some we know and some new to us. There is 1 chapter per missionary, each chapter is no longer than 6 or 7 pages. At the beginning of each chapter the date of birth and death are given, as is what legacy they left and a quote from that missionary. This book is great introduction to each of these missionaries, alot of the chapters made us want to learn more about these missionaries. The chapters were basically a summary of each missionaries life from birth to death (or current works). I highly recommend this book for children 7 and up, it's an easy read for them either to listen to or to read themselves.
