Liberalism july 27 2020
Liberalism within Christianity has gone through three stages and is currently in the third stage of modernism. Liberal theology is governed by critical biblical methods and cultural approaches that view scripture through a humanistic lens. This affects theology in several ways: prophecy is viewed historically rather than predictively, doctrines are rejected as culturally influenced rather than essential, Christian living standards are judged by individuals rather than scripture, and Ellen White's inspiration is questioned. At its heart, liberal theology emphasizes love as the ultimate message of Christianity.

Santeria merged aspects of Yoruba mythology brought by slaves with Catholicism and indigenous American traditions, involving worship of Orisha spirits and animal sacrifice. The Bible warns against syncretism, saying we should worship God in spirit and truth alone rather than blending paganism with religious truth.

World Religion Lesson1
Belief systems and worldviews shape people's perspectives on reality and their place in the world. A worldview is a set of beliefs that guide how one understands the world, while belief systems are the stories people tell themselves to make sense of reality. Major belief systems include naturalism, pantheism, theism, spiritism, and polytheism. Religions typically incorporate worldviews and shape belief systems through their elements, which usually include a belief in supernatural powers, sacred texts or objects, rituals, concepts of sin and salvation, modes of worship, places of worship, and ideologies or liturgies. These elements help religions perpetuate their particular worldviews and beliefs over time.

Term 3 Project Surface Tension
The document summarizes three experiments conducted by the author to investigate surface tension. The first experiment showed that water can rise slightly above the rim of a container due to surface tension before spilling over. The second found that a paperclip could float on water by placing it on a tissue, demonstrating how surface tension can support objects lighter than water. The third involved placing detergent in a gap cut into a cardboard raft, causing the raft to move as the detergent disrupted the surface tension. The experiments confirmed the existence and effects of surface tension.
Project term 3 Patrick
The student is concerned about pollution caused by gasoline-powered cars and wonders if balloons could power cars instead. They conduct an experiment to test how far different types of homemade cars move when blown by balloons. A plastic car and Lego car are each tested 4 times with balloons blown to different strengths. The results show the Lego car, being heavier, travels farther each time due to greater momentum keeping its wheels spinning longer. The student concludes that a car's weight impacts how far it can move when powered by balloons.
I wonder how a volcano erupts (2)
The document describes a simple science experiment to simulate a volcano eruption using common household ingredients. The experiment involves mixing baking soda, water, washing up liquid, and red food coloring in a plastic cup, then adding vinegar to cause a reaction mimicking lava flow. Pictures show the mixture exploding and flowing over the sides of the cup after vinegar was added, demonstrating the chemical reaction between baking soda and vinegar.
Zero gravity
The student conducted an experiment using a plastic cup filled with water, cardboard, and sunlight to test if zero gravity could be created. They found that when the cup was inverted with cardboard placed on top, the cardboard remained in place due to the lack of air bubbles and gravity within the fully submerged cup. The student concluded that zero gravity can be achieved and learned this principle allows floating, but still wonders why people sink in the ocean if they can float in other water.
I wonder...
Whole grain bread molded first, followed by whole meal bread, with white bread molding last. The experiment involved placing slices of three different types of bread - whole grain, whole meal, and white - in separate ziplock bags in a dark place. Observations were made and photos taken daily for six days. On the second day, the first signs of mold appeared as whitish-black spots on the whole grain bread. By the sixth day, all breads showed mold growth in various colors and locations. The conclusion is that whole meal bread molded faster than white bread due to whole wheat flour containing wheat bran shards that provide less protection against mold than refined white flour.
I wonder how a volcano erupts
The document describes a simple volcano experiment using baking soda, vinegar, washing up liquid and food coloring. The author filled a cup with water and baking soda, added washing up liquid and food coloring, then poured in vinegar outside which caused it to explode, simulating a volcano eruption. The science is that the vinegar and baking soda react to produce carbon dioxide bubbles that the washing up liquid traps, simulating flowing lava.
Mmc t3 experiment
1. The student conducted an experiment to observe the effects of red wine and beer on coconut candy when submerged for 20 minutes.
2. The results showed that candy submerged in wine shrank slightly, took on a reddish color, became stickier and smelled of wine. Candy submerged in beer also shrank, became stickier but harder on the surface and smelled disgusting.
3. The conclusion is that both wine and beer can cause candy to shrink and change color and texture, with wine making candy softer and stickier and beer harder on the surface.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
