Science Fair on How Objects Float

Peter is introduced as one of the first followers of Jesus in both Matthew 4:18 and Mark 1:16. Both passages seem to describe Jesus’ discussion verbatim. Peter, also known as Simon, was with his brother and spoke with Jesus. Jesus simply told them, “Follow me and I will make you fish for the people” (Matthew 4.19, Mark 1.17). Peter and his brother merely replied, “And immediately they left their nets and followed him” (4.20, 1.18). Peter and his brother were fishermen, which could cause them to either be prosperous or not. This passage portrays Peter and his brother as extremely dedicated to their Lord from the beginning because each of them abandons

Yet only in Matthew does Peter have a role in the story. Upon seeing Jesus on the water, he calls out, "'Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water'"(Mt. 14.28). He almost succeeds, yet he suddenly gives in to fear and begins sinking. Jesus scolds him by saying, " 'You of little faith, why do you doubt?'"(14.31). This draws a strange picture of Peter. He no longer simply listens to Jesus, but tries to become actively involved in his teacher's lessons. This idea is again shown in Matthew 15.15. After the parable of the blind leading the blind, Peter asks, " "Explain this parable to us." Jesus replies with a rather impatient remark, but dives a little further into the meaning. He often comes to Jesus with questions throughout Matthew and these questions always ask for clear definitions of stories or truths about some spiritual detail. Many times Jesus snaps a little at him, but Peter obviously is not swayed by any impatience his teacher bestows. This seems to paint a closer relationship between the two men, where Peter is not afraid of Jesus and Jesus is not simply polite to Peter, as teachers tend to be. Jesus' obvious favoritism of Peter, shown in the transfiguration and throughout the gospel, leads one to believe that the two are indeed close friends with trust and mutual respect, which allows them to be freer with their words to one another. Friends tend to be less polite and more open with

“Simon Peter asked him, ‘Lord, where are you going?’ Jesus replied, ‘Where I am going, you cannot follow now, but you will follow later. Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may

Jaws hanging open, both boys blinked hard several times in disbelief. Then Jesus took a cautious step down into the riverbed, but Johnnie stood rooted to his spot on the bank.

And he saw that they were making headway painfully, for the wind was against them. And about the fourth watch of the night. He came to them, walking on the sea. He meant to pass by them, 49 but when they saw him walking on the sea they thought it was a ghost, and cried out, 50 for they all saw him and were terrified.

Explore how this works in this science activity. Background If you put an egg in a cup of tap water, it will sink to the bottom. Why is this? Because the density of the egg is higher than the density of tap water, so it sinks.

Margaret Milcoff, a student of Mill Creek Middle School, participated in an activity called the science fair. Her topic was “Does temperature affect the growth of basil plants?” Margaret has a rich desire to absorb all of the facts of the future, so she did this particular science fair experiment to find out if simple plants, such as basil, would be able to survive the deadly affects of global warming. Margaret used the scientific method through her trials of the science fair. So without further a due here is Margaret’s very successful and meticulous science fair journey.

Lily’s and mine egg drop project was made with a plastic container, with sponges, zip ties and balloons. We put the sponges in the container a put the egg in there. We had the egg in the middle, so the egg would not move around. We put zip ties around it to keep the top on and we tied the balloons on to the zip ties, the zip ties were around the contain.

With this experiment, I will test people of different ages and analyze what picture they consider to be more attractive, the edited ones or the individual photos. I will be using photoshop to edit these pictures and create composite faces with

"They then briefly exchanged some addresses and admonition. As for the reflections of the men, there was a great deal of rage in them. Perchance they might be formulated thus: "If I am going to drowned – if I am going to be drowned – if I am going to be drowned, why, in the name of the seven mad gods who rule the sea, was I allowed to come this far and contemplate sand and trees? Was I brought here merely to have my nose dragged away as I was about to nibble the sacred cheese of life? It is preposterous. If this old ninny-woman, Fate, cannot do better than this, she should be deprived of the management of men's fortunes. She is an old hen who knows not her intention. If she has decided to drown me, why did she not do it in the beginning and save me all this trouble. The whole affair is absurd...But, no, she cannot mean to drown me. She dares not drown me. She cannot drown me. Not after all this work.: Afterward the man might have had an impulse to shake his fist at the clouds, "Just you drown me, now, and then hear what I call you!" (Crane 7)

Peter’s life as a disciple of Jesus could be characterized best by his own personal story of coming to Jesus on the Sea of Galilee. At times he would say and do things that had him “walking on water” or “sinking in the waves”. By this I mean that Peter would one minute be doing something that required profound faith and the next minute forget everything and sink in the waves of everyday life. We can look no further than the very instance of when Peter walked on water in Matthew 16:30 to see this contrast of the summation that is Peter’s life. In Matthew 16:30 we see

4. How many disciples were with St. Peter in the boat? ............... (6 - 11- 3)

"Jesus sends his disciples over the Sea of Galilee in a boat while he remains behind to pray. The disciples are battling at the paddles against a solid headwind when they see Jesus strolling on the water, endeavoring to go by them. They think they are seeing a ghost and shout out, at which time Jesus quiets them and gets into the boat. The winds all of a sudden stop." (Martin 106) Matthew's rendition is substantially more intricate as in he transformed it into a greater degree of a story, only for impact. He depicts the vessel as being "battered by the storm," rather than only a solid head wind. At that point Matthew includes an altogether new story. After the disciples find that they are looking at Jesus himself, not a phantom, Peter makes a request to be permitted to come to Jesus on the water. Jesus says, "Come." But once Peter is out of the vessel, he ends up noticeably frightened and starts to sink. He cries, "Jesus, spare me!" Jesus pulls him up, however decries him, "You of little confidence, for what reason did you question?" They both get into the boat, and the winds stops." (Martin 106) Finally, Matthew closes his entry obviously and compactly with the pupils maintaining their conviction, dissimilar to Mark who left the gathering of people

Describe what we learn about faith from this centurion’s response to Jesus, a faith so unusual that Jesus marvels at it.

13 When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, "Who do people say the Son of Man is?" 14 They replied, "Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets." 15 "But what about you?" he asked. "Who do you say I am?" 16 Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." 17 Jesus replied, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by man, but by my Father in heaven. 18 And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.
