EXPERIMENT TIME
Dark and Light – Day and Night | Genesis 1:3
Follow the directions for the experiment activity at the bottom of the article page. Memorize Genesis 1:3 and Genesis 1:5 for Friday!
Materials:
- Flashlight – You can use a phone flashlight if you need to
- A dark room (light switch off, be careful!)
- Some string to attach a ball to (with sticky tape)
- Somewhere to hang the ball
- A colored sticker – you can color a piece of tape with a marker if you need to
Directions and Steps:
- Firstly memorize Genesis 1:3. Then, after you have hung the ball, ask your friend to be ready to shine the flashlight on it.
- Switch off all other lights.
- Call out Genesis 1:3 to the person holding the flashlight: ‘Then God said, “Let there be light!” and there was light.’
- Look at the ball. You should see that only one half of the ball is in the light, while the other half is in darkness.
- Now stick the colored tape onto the ball at place where the light and shadow meet. Turn the ball slowly so that your colored tape travels first through the dark, then emerges into the light on the other side, and returns near to you again.
So what does this all mean?
Remember in Genesis 1:5, ‘God called the light day, and the darkness He called night’. So if the ball represents the earth, it’s the light half of the ball (the earth) where it’s day-time, and the dark half of the ball (the earth) where it’s night-time. One night/day cycle represents one day—the time it takes for the earth to rotate once. Who invented that? God did! When you turned the ball (the earth) so that the coloured tag passed first through dark (night) and then through light (day), it was like what happened on the very first day: ‘And there was evening [night-time] and there was morning [day-time], one day.’
Show-off your Genesis 1:3 Earth and Light project on ZOOM meeting this Friday at 12:30!
Answer these questions:
- Which half of the ball is daytime and which half is nighttime?
- How many spins makes 1 whole day?

Flattening the curve means that many cases get stretched out over months and it changes things.The effects of COVID-19 and social distancing make me feel mad because I can’t go anywhere or see my friends.I feel that closing places it actually a good idea because you won’t touch anyone or won’t get sick and it is necessary to keep people safe from the virus or any other type of disease that has been out.

Great answers. We can flatten the curve by social distancing and washing our hands and only leaving home if we have to. Be sure to number your answers like this:

The paragraph is telling us that Inference is when you form an idea or draw a conclusion based on evidence.And there are these are these people named Lucy and Gary and Lucy started shivering so based off that it’s cold and Lucy said she was cold so Gary holds her to keep her warm so he most likely a sweet and kind person.So as the paragraph saying is that as we read out brain is storming ideas and making clues so we can understand what’s happen while reading.

1. Tropism is the scientific name for how plants move towards the things most essential for their survival, the Greek word for topos is turning.
2. Geotropism is the growth of the parts of plants with respect to the force of gravity. The upward growth of plant shoots is an instance of negative geo geotropism the downward growth of roots is positive geotropism.
3. Phototropism is the orientation of a plant or other organism in response to light, either toward the source of light positive phototropism or away from its negative phototropism.
4. Phototropism
5. We need food, plants such as fruits and vegetables, and animal that eat plants such as cows and chickens.
6. plants go through photosynthesis to store up energy from light.

1.Tropism is the scientific name for how plants move towards the things most essential for their survival. Tropism comes from the Greek word tropos, which means ‘turning
2.When a seed germinates, the roots will always grow down and the stem will always grow up, toward the light. The plant can sense the pull placed upon it due to gravity, and will direct root growth in the direction of that pull.That is geotropism.
3.A plant will also move towards the most direct source of sunlight. If the light falls upon one side of the shoot, the other side will grow faster to bend the leaves towards the light.
4. If the leaves grew curly, they would not get as much sun, because part of the leaf would be in the shade.
5.fruits,vegetables,oxygen,and sunlight
6.Plants go through photosynthesis to store up energy from sunlight.
7.The hydrogen and oxygen from the water molecule can combine with carbon dioxide to form starch and sugars which give us energy, such as from fruits and potatoes.
