1. 1. 8th Grade Science Biblical Integration Job 26:14 And these are but the outer fringe of his works; how faint the whisper we hear of him! Who then can understand the thunder of his power?
2. 2. Matter Colossians 1:16 For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. This verse is relevant to matter because everything in the universe is created by God. And everything is matter. Everything in the universe is matter. It has mass and takes up space. Matter has 3 states. It can be measured in volume, density and other measurements.
3. 3. Atoms and the Periodic Table Jeremiah 29:11 For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. This verse corresponds with these facts because God has placed everything in order and everything that happens, He has planned it. An atom contains a nucleus and electrons. Atoms make up matter. The Periodic Table shows all of the known elements in an order. There are 8 families of elements in the Periodic Table. Some easily recognizable elements are Fe (Iron), Au (Gold), and Al (Aluminum).
4. 4. Chemical Bonds Ecclesiastes 4:12 Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken. This verse tells us that helping each other and working together in doing God's work will make us stronger. There are two kinds of chemical bonds. Ionic bonds and covalent bonds. Ionic bonds occur when one or more electrons are transferred between two oppositely charged atoms. Covalent bonds occur when one or more electrons are shared between two or more non- metals.
5. 5. Chemical Reactions Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. Unlike chemical reactions, and all the other things in this world, Jesus never changes. He will remain the same for all eternity. A chemical reaction occurs when a chemical bond breaks or when a new bond forms. The amount of matter in a chemical reaction cannot change. During a chemical reaction, the materials that are already there are called the reactants. After the reaction is finished, the new materials are called the products.
6. 6. Acids and Bases 1 John 4:1-3 Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world. You can tell if a solution is acidic if it has a sour taste, and reacts with metals. But don't go around tasting hydrochloric acid. You might die. The ways to tell if a solution is a base are if it has a bitter taste, slippery feel, and reacts with indicators ( like litmus paper). Acids and bases are measured on a scale of 0 -14. Any solution that has a pH scale rating of 6 or lower is acidic. Any solution that has a pH scale rating of 8 or higher is basic. The only solution with a pH scale rating of 7 is water. It is neutral.
7. 7. Energy Ephesians 2:10 For we are Gods handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. In order to do God's work, we need energy. He gives us the energy so that we can help others see is face. There are two kinds of energy. Kinetic and potential energy. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. Potential energy is energy that is stored to be used sometime in the future. Kinetic energy can be measured using this equation. Kinetic energy = Mass x Velocity 2 GPE (gravitational potential energy) can be measured using this equation. GPE = Weight x Height
8. 8. Thermal Energy Revelations 3:15 I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! You must be either hot for God, or cold for God. Being neither is the worst of all. God will completely disgrace you if you are luke-warm. There are 3 common scales for the measurement of thermal energy. They are the Fahrenheit Scale, Celsius Scale, and Kelvin Scale. All of these are measured in degrees except for Kelvin. The boiling point of water in the scales are 212F, 100C, 373K. The freezing point of water in the scales are 32F, 0C, 272K.
9. 9. Motion Acts 17:28 For in him we live and move and have our being. As some of your own poets have said, We are his offspring. Without motion, we wouldn't be able to travel to different places or even different places in our own neighborhoods to spread the good news of Jesus Christ. When an object it's distance from another object is changing, it is in motion. A reference point can be used to see how far an object moved from one location to another. Motion is measured in distance. Scientist use the International System of Units (SI). This system uses kilometers, meters, centimeters, and millimeters.
10. 10. Forces Colossians 2:20 Since you died with Christ to the elemental spiritual forces of this world, why, as though you still belonged to the world, do you submit to its rules. Just because we live in the world, doesn't mean we have to become of this world and keep our spirit in this world when we pass. A force is a push or pull. The overall force being used on an object is called the net force. Unbalanced forces cause moving, stoping, or change in direction. Balanced forces are at a standstill. They cannot move the other object. An object at rest will stay at rest. An object in motion will stay in motion, unless acted on by an outside force.
11. 11. Magnetism Hebrews 10:22 Let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. When we are far away from God and unlike Him, we must draw closer to God. He will help strengthen our relationship. Magnetism is the attraction of a magnet of another object. A region of magnetic force around a magnet is called the magnetic field. Magnetic fields allow magnets to interact even when they're not touching.
12. 12. Electricity Isaiah 40:29 He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. If two electric charges are the same, they will repel each other. If they are different, they will attract to each other. If they have no charge, then they remain unmoved. The electric field is what allows an electric charge to be exerted.
13. 13. Sound Psalms 66:8 Praise our God, all peoples, let the sound of his praise be heard; We were made to praise God. He loves to hear us worship and glorify his name. Sound is carried by waves. Sound is a disturbance which travels through a medium and is a longitudinal wave. The speed of sound is dependent on the elasticity, density, and temperature of the medium it is traveling through. Elasticity is a materials ability to bounce back when disturbed.
14. 14. Light John 12:46 I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness. Jesus is the light of the world. We can also be lights if we share the good news of Him everywhere. Light can be reflected, absorbed, or transmitted. An object that absorbs all the light is called opaque. If an object transmits light, it is transparent. A translucent material scatters light as it passes through.
