I'm always surprised and, admittedly, somewhat pleased to read articles such as the one I saw in today's WSJ which is entitled "How Did Moses Part the Red Sea?" Given the general hostility of the scientific community to religious matters and the derision with which they are often met, it's almost a tad jarring to see one of them taking the time to provide an explanation (albeit one wholly rooted in materialism) to one of the events which the theological world considers to be (almost) fully miraculous. The author, Bruce Parker, is the former chief scientist of NOAA's National Ocean Service and is a visiting professor at the Stevens Institute of Technology. In other words, he is apparently an expert on the way that the ocean behaves. He explains that the phenomenon of the Red Sea waters greatly receding for long enough for pedestrians to traverse it and then to collapse back to their normal state with enough force to destroy whoever is unfortunate enough to find themselves caught there, is all quite normal. In fact, he points out that a similar event was observed by no less a figure than Napoleon whereby he and his men were "almost drowned in 1798 at the northern end of the Suez... ." Professor Parker surmises that since Moses lived "in the nearby wilderness" he would have been familiar with the phenomenon and have seen various caravans traveling across the expanse when it was feasible. Yes, he admits that the timing would have to have been impeccable but gives Moses credit enough to be fully capable in this regard. Fine, but even assuming Moses's highly keen sense of observation and timing consider just how many fortuitous events and timings would have to have preceded the arrival of the Children of Israel (and of Egypt) at just that moment. Remember that the Egyptians were beaten and had actually encouraged the Jews to leave only to have a sudden change of heart later. Would Moses really have been able to bank on that reaction? And how did the Egyptians arrive at their defeat to begin with? Recall the year long series of natural (and supernatural) events that befell them. Could Moses have known how long they would take and plan the great sea trick around that? Doesn't seem too likely. It's true that the Torah seems to go out of its way to minimize the supernatural aspect of this event by ascribing it to a strong eastern wind that blew the whole night before, but in the final analysis, the timing is just too great a coincidence to overcome. Finally, I always wonder at (but enjoy) when secular-minded people take the time to explain away various miraculous occurrences that our tradition records - the flood, the plagues, the Ark of the Covenant, et al. Inasmuch as they could be inclined to just chalk them up to the standard mythology of some Bronze Age nomads, as some do, the fact that they meticulously search for natural explanations obviously means that they give them a lot more credence than a lot of other myths. I've yet to see the scientific analysis of the speed at which Thor's hammer traveled or the horse-power of the species of peacock that pulled Hera's chariot. As such, I take Professor Parker's exploration as a complement - even if it only tells part of the story. In any event, he's correct in asserting that "it has to qualify as the most dramatic an consequential tide prediction in history."

Steve Spangler Science provided some materials for the party at my request. As always, opinions are 100% mine! I was beyond excited (and surprised) when this year, Isabella asked for a Science Party, rather than the typical Princess party. After all, she does want to be a scientist when she grows up. Of course I said yes and went crazy in the planning. It all looks very involved but really, it was an easy party and definitely less expensive than hosting outside of the home. And before I get started on telling you about all our mad scientist party ideas,

Here is a cute cut/paste worksheet I created to review the different insects we discuss in class. The insects are "cutesy" as opposed to truly realistic. I say that, because for me, it is used as a fun review...possibly as morning work, not while introducing or teaching the unit. I suggest using this towards the end when you and your students have explored the characteristics of different insects!! Hope that helps. I wanted to create something my kiddos would enjoy sorting and then taking time to color. :)

Genetics in the elementary classroom! Really! This is a brand new topic for me. It all started with a blog post by my friend Amber at SSSTeaching.

Now why on earth would I choose that age? Well, keep reading and I will explain it!

I have had several requests to upload more binder work to TPT....so I did! Only one additional product so far, but I will be slowly adding more over the next couple weeks. I use these worksheets in my morning group binders (see this post) as well as in my students' homework binders (see this post). Click here to check out my TPT store to get your copy! This product has 4 interactive, re-usable worksheets. Here are pics of the actual products as used in my classroom. First off, we have a page for identifying the current season. The student removes the correct picture from the top of the page and places it in the empty box at the bottom of the page. This page is a weather sorting page. Students sort pictures related to sunny and rainy weather. This page is for identifying the current weather and temperature. The student removes the correct picture from the four choices and places it in the bold box beneath. This page is for identifying colors of clothes. This is a great one to work on color identification. It also can help lead to longer sentences (with PECS or vocally). Instead of saying, "I wear shirt," sentences can be lengthened to "I wear read shirt." This also helps students when trying to identify wants (i.e. "I want the blue sucker" instead of just "I want sucker." The student removes the correct colors from the bottom of the page and places it next to the correct clothing item at the top of the page.
Teaching syllables can be fun and engaging with your upper elementary aged students.
