Glacier Erosion Science Project

 

 

 

In this picture the top drawing is before and the bottom is after, in the before there are glaciers that are formed around the bottoms of the mountains and over time the glaciers start taking away the sides of the mountains and as you see in the bottom picture,(after) the land by the river used to be a lot less land around it, but since the glaciers overtime take away land from the mountains, they have less land around the bottoms of them so there is more land around the river.

~The Case Of The Stolen Computer~

Gunner had ordered a computer off of craigslist that was a fairly nice computer. It was supposed to be dropped off yesterday at 4:00 a.m. but when Gunner had come home from work the package wasn’t there. His yard was kinda muddy and he had seen footsteps from someone walking on his lawn and the footsteps looked fairly fresh, the shoe prints kinda look the bottoms of Jared Cross’ shoes like he had come to his house and stolen the package off of Gunner’s porch. But as Gunner was trying to see if the footprints when inside his house because he could have gone inside to hang out with Jacob his son and play his xbox.Turns out there were muddy footprints going into his house that went downstairs to Jacob’s xbox.

The mailman Dan Dekam had delivered the package, Gunner had called Dan to make sure that he had dropped off the package on his porch and Dan said that he did drop off the package on his porch. Gunner was still confused and wondering if Dan had really dropped of the package at his house. But as he kept thinking if Dan had really not dropped off the computer and kept it he wouldn’t have the job at the delivery place and they would’ve fired him by that time.

Gunner’s neighbor Hudson Deboer was kind of a weird guy he always seem to be staring out his window into Gunner’s house and like scanning his house for something to steal, which kinda made Gunner suspicious that Hudson might have stolen his computer but there was no evidence that Hudson had left his house and came to Gunner’s house and stolen his computer because as he was thinking that he remembered that Hudson was on vacation with his family in Florida so he couldn’t have taken the computer.

So Gunner kept going around his house to look for clues and he had seen of his driveway that there was skid marks on his driveway from a car going out of his driveway really fast, then he saw a piece of paper laying on the ground. He picked up the piece of paper and read it…It was the title for the car and it had the name of the owner of the car “Gabe Harris” and also on the title it said his address “6480 ShortFront Dr.” Gunner got into his car and drove to that address and said that Gabe’s car was still sitting outside of his garage and saw that in the back of the car was…the package that had Gunner’s address on it and said “computer” on it.

 

The Stoning Of Stephen

~The Stoning Of Stephen~

Stephen was a man that was full of the Holy Spirit, he was full of God’s grace and power, chosen to spread the word of God to other people. He became a very powerful man with God among him. The members of the synagogue of the Freedmen, started to dislike what Stephen was doing and didn’t want the Holy Spirit among them, so they started to argue with Stephen, but they could not stand up against the wisdom that the Holy Spirit gave him as he spoke. They persuaded some men that Stephen was speaking blasphemy against Moses and against God. They had rounded up some men to find Stephen and bring him to the sanhedrin where they would talk about him to the elders and teachers of the law, and told them that this man (Stephen) would never stop speaking against the holy place and against the law. All who were sitting at the Sanhedrin looked intently at Stephen and say that his face was like a face of an angel. When the people of the synagogue heard this, they were furious and gnashed their teeth at Stephen. But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit looked up into heaven and said look there is the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God. They covered their ears and yelled at the top of their lungs and charged at him and grabbed him and then dragged him into the city. The witnesses laid their coats down at the feet of a young man named Saul.  While they were stoning him, Stephen said a prayer to God and said, “Do not hold this sin against them” Then fell to his knees and cried out. After he had said this he fell asleep and never woke up again.

 

 

My Noodle Tower

In science class we were split up into groups and we were told to make a noodle tower out of spaghetti  noodles, and marshmallows that could hold against a mini earthquake. In my group our tower didn’t turn out as well as we expected it to. We didn’t put enough support on the bottom of our noodle tower. The further up we went the more unsupportive the tower got. Our tower didn’t stand because we didn’t have enough support as we got higher so our tower didn’t stand up for very long…noodles.

Holy Spirit

          The Holy Spirit is God. The Holy Spirit isn’t a ghost even though some people call the Holy Spirit the holy ghost. The Holy Spirit doesn’t speak to us in words, but He works in our hearts and tells us what is good from bad, and what is a sin and what’s not. He also helps us to make the right decisions.  The Holy Spirit is just like Jesus, He knows everything you are doing and everything you are thinking, and He helps us understand the messages from God.

          The Holy Spirit is working in me, He is helping me understand the word of God and to have better faith in Jesus. He is helping me use my gifts that Jesus had given me to spread the word of God to others.

 

Bowling

Yesterday my whole grade went bowling. When I was there I had a jammed/broken finger and I couldn’t bowl with my stronger hand, but I wasn’t doing very good with my stronger hand. So I start bowling with my so I say weaker hand which is my right hand, and I was doing better with that. I had only gotten two strikes in the whole thing and one of the ones times I laid down on my stomach and push it really fast and got a strike 😀 and the second strike that I got was when I throw it through my legs and got another strike.

Jesus’ Crucifixion

In bible class we have been learning about Jesus’s crucifixion a lot. My thoughts on thing is that it is really amazing and cool that Jesus would die on the cross to save our sins. It is really cool because He cared about every single one of us and wanted our sins to be forgiven, and He would give His life for us.

My Problem and my Solution

Problem

A gas station sells refillable pop cups for $9. Each refill costs you $2. Last month Fred spend $30 on 1 pop cup and refills. How many refills did he buy.

Solution

The first thing you want to do is set up the problem in a way that is easy for you to solve like 30=9+2x or flip it 2x+9=30 and the way you would solve this is you would do 30-9 because it says for you to add but you’re supposed to minus so it would be 30-9=21 and then you would do 2x=21 and set it up like that, and after you have done that you divide 21/2 and that would be your answer to how many refills Fred bought. The answer is x=10.5 so he spent $10.50 on refills.
