Inspirements:  Choose one of the following or come up with your own way to share what you have learned. Please let Sis. Mapes know by Tuesday what inspirement you will be doing.

• Select four natural resources (material or energy) and create a poster or presentation showing how these resources benefit our lives. Be prepared to present it in class.
• Research the 1979 Three Mile Island or 1989 Chernobyl Ukraine nuclear accidents. Write about how the accidents happened and what the consequences were. Include how safety measures have been implemented. Share your opinion about nuclear power. Is it safe? Consider how many lives have been lost in coal and petroleum production compared to nuclear energy.
• Learn how oil is used in farming and plastics. Write about your findings and share what you have learned.
• Research a renewable energy source that is interesting to use. What are the benefits of the resource? What are the shortcomings? Should this energy source be further developed?

April Master

Master Class 1 (Sis. Mapes)

Read:  Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll

• Charles Ludwidge Dodgson, the real name of Lewis Carroll, was an English mathematician in the 1800’s. His famous Alice stories, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, were derived from tales he would tell his three nieces while on outings with them. As a mathematician and logistician, he wove tales of nonsense using whimsical characters with nonsensical logic placed in a dreamlike setting. Much of the humor from the book is based on the logical fallacies accepted as fact on the part of the stories’ many zany characters, although a few characters are able to opine the occasional true principle (e.g. the Cheshire Cat), a favorite character of Thomas S. Monson.

Inspirements:

• Find at least four logical fallacies in Alice and Wonderland. Be prepared to share you fallacies and what kind of fallacy they are in class.
• Come prepared for a mad tea party with hot chocolate and treats.

Master Class 2 (Bro. Mapes)

Read modules 14 and 15 from Exploring Creation. For each module do the following:

• Read all sections of the module
• Select at least one of the experiments to perform. Write up your observations.
• Complete the “On Your Own” questions as you read, but you do not need to turn in your answers. (“On Your Own” answers are at the end of the module.)
• Answer all of the Study Guide questions. There are only a few problems that require math in module 14, so the problems should go pretty quick.

E-mail me your written work no later than 6:00 PM the day before master class to the following

e-mail address: Jeremy.Mapes@rocket.com. I will review your work and return it with

comments during master class. The following items must be submitted:

• Study guide answers from Modules 14 and 15
• Write-ups from the experiments you completed
