March 28th journeymen.

Hey everyone welcome to journeymen! Come prepared to party, eat food and have SO MUCH FUN. It is going to be AWESOME.! I'm excited to see you all there.



STUDY/LEARN

1. This week you need to sign up here and be ready to prepare food to bring to our journeymen class. You need to present:

1. What herb you used on your food
2. What food you prepared

 2. Write a short story (at most a paragraph) about our class mascot, Herb.  In the story, you must make sure to include the herb you studied and how Herb interacts with it. Paste or write the story into this link for everyone to read.

Skim through all the stories of Herb.  Highlight (in any color) your top 3 favorite stories.  We will be reading the favorites in class.

3.Instead of voting this week I would like everyone to go to this Doc and study the herbs and their uses. If we have time during class we will be playing Cahoots to test your memory on the herbs we studied and for the team in 1 place will get our class mascot Herb and 1,2,3 will be able to choose one more container of the extra tinctures and cremes we have left.



KNOW/UNDERSTAND

 1. Bring 10 copies of the recipe you made to share with everyone in class.


BECOME/SERVE

Find a scripture that relates herbs in general to bring and share with everyone when you present.
or
Help someone heal by using a specific herb we studied and come prepared to tell us  why,how,what herb you and what you used the herb for.

Eureka Masters, March 28th!

More like "The Last Masters." 

(For Eureka, anyway!) 

Unfortunetaly, all things must eventually come to an end, but that doesn't mean that it has to be a sad ending. Which is why this week is going to be a ton of fun, so you should all try to come. :D

Make sure to do the work so that you can participate and have fun with everyone!

Watch this really cool video! It helps explain a lot of what you're going to be reading about in the Weather Model. 

Read The Universal Model chapter 9, page 699 to page 791. (The end of the book!)

We aren't going to be doing presentations or having a debate this week, but still bring your favorite lessons, or the parts of the reading that stood out to you, to discuss with everyone while we...

Paint!

We are going to be painting a large Universal Model Mural! It should be a lot of fun, and make sure to come with ideas of what you would like to paint (that has something to do with what we've been learning.) Some examples would be: a tree, a planet, mountains, clouds, etc. 

You won't be limited to what you chose to paint. In fact, you're welcome to add as much to the mural as you would like to. :)

You don't have to be Michael Angelo to enjoy painting, because... well... none of you are him because he is dead. Anyways, the point is, there is no reason to worry about what level of skill you have when it comes to painting because the point is not to show everyone that you are secretly descended from the dead Michael Angelo, but to have a fun activity to do while discussing what we've learned, and to enjoy each other's company and talents.

After we paint our lovely mural we are going to make and fly kites! They're going to be trashbag kites because... money and time, but also becasue that way they'll look like clouds!

Last, but not least, we're going to be having a picnic of sorts. So make sure to bring something (food or treat) to share that looks like or represents something that we've learned about this year with The Universal Model.
If you bring literal cups of dirt... You're fired.
Make sure that it is edible and tasty. :D

I've really enjoyed the experience of being your student mentor this year. You're all wonderful and super fun to work with! Thank you for doing the work to come to class, and for participating and making it really enjoyable.

Quick Recap:

1. Watch the video with super pretty music and footage. 
2. Do the reading and prepare to discuss.
3. Bring ideas of what you would like to paint on the mural. 
4. Bring something edible that represents something... less edible (like dirt.)  

See you in Masters! 

P.S. 

What’s the difference between weather and climate?

You can’t weather a tree, but you can climate.

What’s the difference between a horse and the weather?

One is reined up and the other rains down.

The End.

Chemistry Science Fair Blog - For March 28 Eureka Apprentice

Science Fair Eureka Apprentice

Study/Learn

I.  If you'd like your award for memorizing the song, keep practicing!  I will give you the chance to pass it off on the last day of Vanguard, April 25th.  Then we'll have a party!

II.  If you'd like your award for finishing 40 logic pages throughout this year, bring your stack of pages to me anytime, up until April 25th.  All finishers will be going to play laser tag!  Time and Date TBD

III. Watch these videos to help you prepare your science fair project.

Scientific Method

Microwaving Grapes -- This is to show you that getting fascinated by a question can lead to amazing discoveries.  Make your science project interesting!


IV.  Prepare a Chemistry-Based project for our science fair, using the scientific method. Remember, only change 1 variable at a time!

Create a presentation board, showing us your hypothesis, experimentation and results.  Use visual aids and a hands-on demonstration to draw people to your table.

The format will be like a fair.  You will stay with your table for most of the morning, explaining to others what you discovered.  You will each have the opportunity to leave your table for a period of time, and go explore everyone else's.

We will be going to the church gym to set up.  All families will be invited to come watch demonstrations from 10:00 am - 12:00 pm. Details will come as we get closer.

Important:  Mad Scientist Hair Day!  Come to the fair looking like a mad scientist! If you have lab coats and goggles, even better!

If you need any supplies, please ask, I may have them.  I'm here to help! Please let me know if I can assist you in any way.  I'm excited to see what you come up with. :)

Happy Sciencing.
