Science

I really enjoy teaching the younger boys science.  I don't like the topic hugely at the moment.  Insects are not my favorite.  But, they are fascinating.  It's amazing to me how God designs even the littlest critters to fit their environment and to eat the food and do all the tasks they were made for.  The sheer variety of kinds is amazing.  And, He even created at least 3 different ways for them to grow into an adult.  God is INCREDIBLE!  I couldn't even think up all the things to create that one creature, or even part of one creature would need in order to exist and He did it more times and in mores ways than we will ever discover.  He made things that He KNEW no one but Himself would ever know about just for the joy of creating.

The older pair are doing General Science, which is also very interesting.  We've learned a lot about the history of science and the thoughts of many early scientists.  We're learning the difference between an observation, a hypothesis, a theory, and a scientific law.  Do you know it only takes ONE counter-example to totally throw out a scientific law or to at least send it back to hypothesis status to be modified and enter the process toward becoming theory and then scientific law again?  Woah!

The greatest thing about teaching is LEARNING!
