Physics in a Nutshell

Other than than a few images of ancient art that could be offensive to some (naked or semi naked between between 4:00 and 7:00;23:00-23:20 ) most of the video is very informative as it tells the main aspects of physics in a very engaging manner.  As to the terms he uses in this presentation "being gods"  and "evolve from Africa" make sure to know that he is coming from the point of view of ancient mythology Greeks in the first comment and the latter plus his mentioning of the Big Bang  towards the end of the video comes from typical evolutionist thinking.  I like the presentation as important names and facts in the field of physics are displayed for the first 3/4 of the video and I consider it worthwhile listening to if you are interested in this field of science.  The futuristic science theories at the remaining 1/4 of the video sound fun but they are what they are theories, not facts! Read Answers in Genesis Strange Strings  on the subject of String Theory to see what I mean. String Theory attempts to deny the existence of the Creator.  I found it kind of ironic at the end of the video  that there is an urgent need for  theory physicists to learn how to escape this universe because according to them it is going to get destroyed in the future. The Bible says the earth will be destroyed at the end of the world.


 


To keep everything into a Christian perspective remember: 

 "The Higgs boson does not scientifically supplant the Creator but is a manifestation of His glory and power. Dr. Lisle adds, “It is rather apparently the way that God has chosen to uphold the universe. That’s true of any law of physics. Gravity is an example. Gravity is not a replacement of God’s power; gravity is an example of God’s power. And that’s the way it is with the Higgs boson.” Higgs Boson Not God Particle, Still Incredible by Dr. Elizabeth Mitchell on March 23, 2013

Missing Agebra II Concepts

Math The Easy Way

I am so tired of complicated curriculums with lingo that as a parent I have to decipher. I tell my kids if you don't understand it and I don't understand it then you don't have to do it. I  plan on customizing my kids lessons using the following website: Math Drills. They have a lot of math concepts drills and they have the answer sheet. Parents can use this to help their kids practice math.

For higher math we will be using  algebra resources found  here

Geometry can be done with the math drills website and Khan Academy.

Of course doing math using the real world is  more useful and kids enjoy it better. Here is some ideas to get you going: Math in Real Life  Some of my readers have been enjoying the post on  Aviation math. 

I have collected a series of books from Cliff Notes (highschool math) and a math dictionary ( for elementary and middle school). I also got a couple books by ELP called Math Practice Simplified Fractions and another one on decimals and Percents. I really like the way the put together these books. Easy flow and good amount of practice.  My kids love video gaming so I make it a point for them to encourage them to play math games. See also  kindergarden and first grade games. To help them memorize math facts they use Xtra math.
For those that love manipulatives check out Montesorri math ideas or hands on math on Google. Here is some for highschool:1000+ ideas Highschool Math/

After 10 years of homeschooling, I have noticed that my kids learn differently and I need to always find what helps them thrive to learn.  For us simple is better!

Check out the Aviation math for Kids to practice more awesome math! Remember math is so much fun if we can use it in real life! Read Examples of Math in Real Life and try to discover math opportunities surrounding your typical life or interests! Maybe you know a friend or a relative that uses a certain kind of math in their lives. You might develop an interest for math discussing and observing them work with it. Aviation and geography are of constant interest for us. 

The problem we set up. We want to know the distance of side "x" of the given triangle using surveyors math 


Imagining it using the azimuth

Azimuth picture by Developer.mozilla.org

With this problem we can practice how to find the unknown interior angles and also the unknown distance (x)

We want to know the solution as if this problem had to do with orienteering.  So we imagine a real place and try to position ourselves in the location virtually and eventually physically. 
We can pretend to be surveyors. We can even pretend with aviation as well since both practices use geography and topography. 

Have fun trying to figure it out!

Create and account at Khan Academy. Then come back and click on the highschool subject of interest to access the correct path for the course. Observe the different concepts covered. Then click on the first category and start your journey there. I don't recommend to click on the link that says " Get a personal path through ......"  as it might prove to be very challenging and discouraging for the student. Do it when he/she has done half of the course :
Pre-calculus
SAT Prep

Click image to view a larger image that demonstrates 
an example of how to study with Khan Academy
Khan Academy offers free online lessons in the form of videos and practice concepts marked with a star. My kids are getting to really learn highschool math with Khan Academy and by doing the exercises and completing them  highschool math is sinking in the right way to prepare them for college. I have my kids do the exercises until they pass each exercise challenge marked with a star. The star looks like an empty star, after they complete the exercise challenge the star gets filled in with blue. Give them credit for all the filled stars that go along with the different categories.

Highschool math wasn't my strength when I was in school but homeschooling my kids has really helped me get better at highschool math. There will be times when they need your help so prepare yourself to help them. You can follow along with these courses too! My kids are doing good using Khan Academy, their effort, and their mom's help.

  • Sophie Scholl The Final Days ( the movie is a true story about young students in the German White Rose resistance movement. What life was like for the average German during WWII and how dangerous it was to speak out. There weren't any scenes of violence but it was discussed which made it more powerful)
  • I am David (Very tame, yet has the war in background, as he's traveling from a prison in Italy north to freedom)
  • The Hiding Place
  • The movie Auschwitz inside the Nazi State is informative, but can be heavy depending on the age of your children. 
  •  The Hidden Child (good for older children)
  • The Pianist (yound adults)
  • Vad Veshem, The Holocaust museum in Jerusalem. It has survivor stories on video told by the holocaust survivors (also on youtube search holocaust survivor testimonies
  • Return of the Hiding Place
Books:

  •  Number the Stars (also as an audio book)
  • Diary of Ann Frank (also as an audio book) for older kids 
  • Farewell to Manzanar.
  • Upstairs Room
  • When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit by Judith Kerr 
  • Books by an author named Teresa R. Funke:
  • "Homefront Heroes" books and are novels about kids' lives on the American homefront during WWII, "Doing My Part", AND  "V for Victory" now. They are really quick reads, probably good for ages 8-11.
  • The Book Thief (younger middle school age)
  • Yellow Star by Jennifer Roy
  • The Berlin Boxing Club (for young adults) is not so much about the Holocaust as about being Jewish in Germany in the period leading up to and including Kristalnacht.
  • "Maus and Maus II" are excellent graphic novel books (cartoon like pictures where the Nazis are cats and the Jews are mice). There are lesson plans to go along with the books that can be found online. Some high schools have added these books to their reading lists. Basically they are based on a true story but written by a couple who went through the holocaust's son. It is based in Poland and very well done. Also if high school level or mature enough 
  • Schindler's List (high school)
  • The Girl in the Green Sweater: A Life in Holocaust's Shadow
  • Being Audrey (book about Audrey Hepburn tells about her childhood during the holocaust)
  • Mr. Jack Vander Geest wrote the book Was God on Vacation? about his escape from a Nazi prison camp, his life coming to America and his life as a Christian.
