MFW CtG/K Week 6: A-a Apples/Job, Abraham, Lot, Hagar

4th/2nd Grade Creation to the Greeks

1st Commandment:
I am the LORD your God...you shall have no other gods before me.

Bible/History

• Memorized the 1st commandment

We learnt about how Abraham moved from Ur to Canaan. This beautiful map is from here

We also learnt about Job, Lot, Hagar and Ishmael.

Math/Science

• Light: Refraction

We learnt about how curved surface refract light and words get magnified. I did not use the soda bottle as the book says, but I used our clear vinyl sheet on our dinner table and it worked perfectly!

And we made crystals using baking soda and hot water! However, we were not able to observe much from the magnification of the crystals.

Day 2 (Water and Air): How clouds are formed

We learnt about evaporation and condensation of water.

Art/Music

We learnt to use pen and ink to draw textures

Drawing perspectives

And we listened to Vivaldi's Summer.

Have you wondered?

• Why is Job called "blameless" when in Romans we are told "everyone has sinned?? Isn't that a great que Big Sis asked? I have yet to research on that.
• Why is the first commandment "you shall have no other gods BEFORE me"...you mean we can have it "after"? It should be better translated"other than me"?
• What is a miracle (Big Sis asked)
• Did Abram lie when he said Sarai was his sister? Half. She was his "half sister".
