Fire's Soccer Banquet and Senior Night

Senior Night

Fire has had the privilege of playing two years of high school soccer.  Last Sunday marked the end of his career with the soccer banquet where he received a soccer pin.  I am so proud of his dedication to the game as evidenced by his always giving 110% in practices and games with a Christlike attitude of sportsmanship! 

This season may be complete, but many more and varied seasons await you, my dear Fire.

I didn't mind sitting out in the windy cold for this one! :)

Fire is the red-headed player, jersey number three.

Please don't mind my cheers of delight.

I really like these pictures!

Rival Teams' Game Clip

As you know, Fire is playing for the local high school varsity soccer team this year. Currently, we are undefeated in our league, and last night's game marked a new milestone in the team's current standings.

After eight years of defeat by the local rival team, we won with a score of 5 to 1. Fire's jersey number is three. Look for his red hair. ;)

Auntie MA and Auntie JL, this is for you!

With Much Love...

Your Sissy, Beautiful Grace

OOPS, How Could I Forget!

The school day wouldn't have been complete without...

Empower us to glorify You!

Amen!

Chemistry Experiment 1.2: Air Takes Up Space

A paper towel is crumpled and placed in the bottom of a glass.

The glass is submerged (without tipping) in water.

The glass is removed (without tipping) and the paper towel is dry.

The paper is replaced in the glass and submerged.

This time the glass is tipped while under the water.

The paper towel is saturated.

Conclusion: The paper towel remained dry during submersion because there was air taking up space in the glass between the water and the paper towel.

In the second part of the experiment, the paper towel became saturated with water because the glass was tipped allowing the air to escape from the glass and providing open space for the water to rush into the glass.

Chemistry Experiment 1.1: Air Has Mass

A string is tied to a deflated balloon,

then tied to a yardstick.

Deflated balloons have equal mass and, therefore,

may easily be balanced on a fulcrum.

One balloon has been inflated with air.

The more mass, the more matter and the heavier the inflated balloon side, thus causing the bar to tip.

Conclusion: Air has mass. Mass is made up of matter and one way the amount of matter a substance has may be measured is by its weight. The weight of a substance is influenced by the gravitational pull placed on it.
