1. The Shepherd’s Christian Home School
My Third Grade Year
2012-2013
Student: Michael Penn
Teacher: Althea Penn
Principal: Emmanuel Penn
…the goal of our instruction is love from a pure
heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.
1 Timothy 1:5
2. Creation Science
• God created everything. Genesis 1
• God made everything to work together just right. Job 38, 39
• God made some things that people can see and some things people
can’t see. Colossians 1:16, 17
• God punished the earth when Adam and Eve sinned. Genesis 3-6
3. Answers in Genesis
There are no astronomical observations that
are used as a basis for the seven-day week.
This comes solely from the Bible in Exodus
20:11, which is based upon Genesis 1.
5. In this picture, we see Adam and Eve
clothed (Genesis 3:21) in animal skins. This
animal was slain as a sacrifice for their sin.
God then took the animal's skin and
clothed Adam and Eve. This is a picture of
what was to come in Jesus Christ, the Lamb
of God who takes away the sin of the world.
Hebrews 9:22 tells us that without the
shedding of blood there is no remission of
sins, and Leviticus 17 informs us that the
life of the flesh is in the blood. Because
Adam sinned and death was the
consequence, then a life had to be given to
pay the penalty for sin. The blood of bulls
and goats can't take away our sin, which is
why we needed a perfect Man. The
Israelites sacrificed animals over and over
again, but this is only a picture of what was
to come in Jesus Christ. When the second
person of the Godhead stepped into history
to become a man and died on the Cross, He
died once and for all, as the Scripture tells
us, as He was the perfect sacrifice for sin.
6. In Genesis 7:16 we read that it was God who shut the door to the Ark. It was God who
had appointed a particular day of judgment. He had been longsuffering, waiting for many
years. Only those who had gone through the doorway could be saved. Noah's Ark is a
picture of salvation. The Bible tells us that just as God sent a Flood to destroy the earth
because of the wickedness of man, that one day there's going to be a final judgment, but
this time by fire (2 Peter 3). However, God has provided an Ark of salvation for each of
us-the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus said, 'I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be
saved' (John 10:9). Just as Noah and his family had to go through a doorway to be saved,
we need to go through a doorway-the Lord Jesus Christ. He is our Ark of salvation.
7. Classification of Living Things
Carl Linnaeus (1707-1778) built on Aristotle’s
work to create his own classification system.
He invented the way we name organisms
today. Linnaeus is considered the inventor of
modern taxonomy, the science of naming and
grouping organisms.

sometimes.
Keep ponds clean or frogs get sick.

8. What are animals?
• They are organisms made of many parts but cannot make their own food.
• They must get energy from eating plants or other animals.
•They are classified according to whether or not they have a backbone.

9. What are plants?
• Plants are organisms that are made of many parts and are capable of making their own
food
•There are more than 400,000 different species of plants that have been identified.
• They divided into 2 groups: flowering and nonflowering.
10. Classification of Animals
Invertebrates Vertebrates
Animals
•have backbones
• share physical characteristics: a
protective skin covering, an inside
skeleton, muscles, blood that circulates
through blood vessels, lungs or gills for
breathing
•animals without backbones
•some have fluid-filled bodies and do not
have hard outer coverings (ex. jellyfish or
worms)
•others have a hard outer covering or
shell (ex. insects, clams, and crabs)
•Examples: insects, spiders, shrimp,
crayfish, sponges, jellyfish, snails, sea
stars

Fish Amphibians Reptiles Birds Mammals
Animals with a backbone
11. What are fish?

12. What are amphibians?
•first breathe with gills in water, and then breathe with lungs on land
•have smooth, moist skin
•most lay eggs
•have a body temperature that changes with its environment
13. What are reptiles?

•have a constant body temperature
15. What are birds?
•breathe with lungs
•have feathers, one beak, two wings, and two feet
•lay eggs
•have a constant body temperature
16. The Science of Fire
Fires need three things to start and to continue to burn:
•Fuel
•Oxygen
•Heat
These three items are part of the fire triangle.
Removing or disrupting one of the points will prevent
the fire from starting or will extinguish the fire.

equipment that contain chemicals in them- like
thermometers and batteries

eyes or nose

26. Nano Days at Fernbank Science Center
The word itself is a combination of
nano, from the Greek “nanos” (or
Latin “nanus”), meaning “Dwarf”,
and the word "Science."
Nano refers to the 10-9 power, or
one billionth. In these terms it
refers to a meter, or a nanometer,
which is on the scale of atomic
diameters. For comparison, a
human hair is about 100,000
nanometers thick!
Nanoscience is the study of atoms,
molecules, and objects whose size
is on the nanometer scale ( 1 - 100
nanometers ).

30. "Animals Belong In Class"
Animals belong in a class, But not because they get bad grades
Animal classes are groups of critters, Alike in important ways
We are going to give you clues, So you can figure out
Which of the six main animal classes, That we're talking about
The first class of animals is covered with hair, And they live almost anywhere
They've got warm blood and their babies drink milk, And they sweat when it's hot out there
What is the animal, animal class? MAMMALS
-The next class is lumped together, Because their bodies are covered with feathers
Their babies are hatched from hard-shelled eggs, And some migrate with the weather
What is the animal, animal class? BIRDS
-To breathe under water with gills, Is a pretty impressive skill
Fins and scales and powerful tails, Make ocean living ideal
What is the animal, animal class? FISH
-The critters with scaly skin, Are cold-blooded and born on land
Snakes and turtles and crocodiles, Lay eggs like the rest of them
What is the animal, animal class? REPTILES
-These guys are born in the water, And at first they breathe like a fish
When they grow up their gills become lungs, And they can live on land if they wish
What is the animal, animal class? AMPHIBIANS
-Spiders, insects and crabs all have, Segmented bodies, big and small
Jointed legs and an exoskeleton, This class is the biggest of all
What is the animal, animal class? ARTHROPODS
-Mammals, Birds, Fish, Reptiles, Amphibians, Arthropods 3x

34. Acids and Bases Are Everywhere: Every liquid you see will probably
have either acidic or basic traits. Water (H2O) can be both an acid
and a base, depending on how you look at it. It can be considered an
acid in some reactions and a base in others. Scientists use something
called the pH scale to measure how acidic or basic a liquid is.
Acids and bases can help neutralize each other.
Acids turn litmus paper red, bases turn it blue.
Strong bases can be slippery and slimy feeling.
Acids taste sour, bases taste bitter.
Proteins are made up of amino acids.
Vitamin C is also an acid called ascorbic acid.
Ammonia is a base chemical.
35. In 1803 President Thomas Jefferson guided
an amazing piece of foreign diplomacy
through the U.S. Senate: the purchase of
Louisiana territory from France. After the
Louisiana Purchase Treaty was made,
Jefferson started an exploration of the newly
purchased land and the territory beyond the
"great rock mountains" in the West.
Jefferson chose his personal secretary,
Meriwether Lewis, a smart man who also
possessed skills as a frontiersman. Lewis in
sought the help of William Clark, who was
also a draftsman and frontiersman.
