Creation Primer Lesson VII - God is the heavy weight!

God created the heaven and the earth. They were created before they were. When it was dark and void God had the plan. He is the light to lighten the dark. God is the law to validate the void. He is the source of all the forces, the source from above! He is the "Heavy Weight" of all mass. He gives weight, length, and capacity to all things.

BBC has nice lessons, games and worksheets HERE.

Forces in action

1. Gravity

• The force that makes things fall to the ground on Earth is called gravity.
• Gravity also holds Earth and the other planets in their orbits around the Sun.
• The force of gravity also exists on the moon but it is not as strong as it is on the Earth (this is because the moon is much smaller than the Earth).

2. Mass and weight

• The mass of an object is how much matter it contains. It is measured in grams (g) or kilograms (kg) but is NOT a force.
• The weight of an object is the force caused by gravity pulling down on the mass of an object. It is measured in Newtons (N).
• Weight is measured using a forcemeter. The bigger the weight attached to the forcemeter, the more the spring inside the forcemeter stretches.

3. Balanced forces

• Forces are just pushes and pulls in a particular direction.
• Forces are shown by arrows in diagrams. The direction of the arrow shows the direction in which the force is acting. The bigger the arrow, the bigger the force.
• If two forces are balanced, it means the forces are the same size but are acting in opposite directions.
• If two balanced forces are acting on an object, that object will not change its motion. If it is still, it will stay still. If it is moving, it will continue moving, in the same direction and at the same speed.

4. Unbalanced forces

• Unbalanced forces can make objects start to move, speed up, slow down, or change direction.

Genesis 1

1In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

2And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

3And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

4And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

5And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
