Teaching Creation Thursday ~ Grand Canyon and a giveaway!

Teaching Creation Thursday ~ Grand Canyon and a giveaway!

This week Dr. Reeves will be sharing with us about the Earth.

Many evolutionists consider the “Geologic Column” the strongest evidence that life arose gradually over millions of years. They claim that the sedimentary layers of rocks found all over the world show that the first forms of life to evolve are found in the deepest layers and the living things that evolved later are found in the upper layers.

However, this explanation is found to have a number of flaws. We believe you may find the Flood provides the best explanation for the earth’s sedimentary layers and is much more logical than the explanation given by evolutionists. Go to www.investigatethepossibilities.org and click on the “articles” tab for a kid-friendly article about the sedimentary layers in Grand Canyon.  Or you can just click HERE.  Which explanation do you think fits the evidence best–millions of years of evolution or a world wide flood?

Take time to browse around Investigate the Possibilities!  There are a lot of experiments, articles and videos to help you Investigate the Possibilities!

Next week, Dr. Reeves will follow up with a lesson about how sedimentary layers form and how some now-hardened layers formed in hours and days as a result of geologic activity after the Mt. Saint Helens eruption.

Now on to the giveaway!  I will be giving away this teacher guide and student Journal to The Earth: Its Structure and Its Changes!  My oldest  daughter and I did this book together and really enjoyed it.  I think your children will too!

A Journey of Joy
Today for Teaching Creation Thursday, we have a worksheet to give to you all, as well as a giveaway of one of the books that Dr. Carolyn Reeves co-authored.

The worksheet that Dr. Reeves has prepared for you all is an activity that you can do with your children. It is an activity that Dr. Reeves has done many times to help students understand how scientists try to reconstruct the past. (It is found in Forces & Motion, DeRosa and Reeves, Master Books, and Understanding Science While Believing the Bible, Reeves, The Master Design.) Trying to figure out what happened in the past is much like a detective would try to figure out what happened at a crime scene. Print (or re-create) a copy of a “damaged” drawing of a tree and have students try to reconstruct the way it looked originally. Don’t let them see any of the examples of completed drawings. After they finish, tell them there is no “right” or “wrong” proven answer. Then compare their efforts to reconstruct the tree to how a scientist might try to reconstruct the past.

You can download the worksheet by clicking on HERE.

Now for the giveaway, we  have this wonderful book set, Forces and Motion that is written by Dr. Carolyn Reeves and Tom DeRosa.  The worksheet that you can download above is actually found in this book!

Forces and Motion
Tom DeRosa, Dr. Carolyn Reeves

From the New Leaf Publishing Group, the description of the books is:

This amazing full-color book is filled with 20 hands-on activities that ignite a sense of curosity about the wonderful God has made. Concepts are introduced in an engaging way – by highlighting the science behind kids at play, like rollerskating, skateboarding, and even running. By guiding students through these easy to understand investigations, they learn to explain, apply, expand, and assess what they have personally observed!

Learn how to:

  • Determine the speed and motion of favorite toys
  • Create a catapult and experience the mechanics of pulleys
  • Set up a floating pencil race
  • Discover why friction creates heat

Investigate the incredible world that God has created with science that is fun and educational in this comprehensive series!
