Review of Course "Exploring Creation With Physical Science"

Today I will be reviewing the book I used this year for science, Exploring Creation With Physical Science by Dr. Jay Wile.
Although I did this course in 8th grade, I am using it as my 9th grade high school credit, which means I am doing biology in 9th grade, chemistry in 10th grade, physics in 11th grade. This also means I will be able to do any kind of science I'd like in 12th grade, and it doesn't have to count for a credit. At this point, I think I will do a trimester of astronomy, a trimester of anatomy, and a trimester of botany.

I am talking about one module at a time and including what topics were discussed, the length, what the labs were, and what the vocabulary words were.

                     Module 1- Reading covers the basics of atoms & molecules, the unit multiplier system and concentrations of substances.

Thanksgiving

     I had an enjoyable Thanksgiving with my family. Every year, we reflect on those blessings in our lives which we are thankful for, especially on November 26.
     The thing I am most grateful for year after year and for the rest of my life is God, who lovingly created the universe, including the earth and all its inhabitants, and has allowed us to inherit all He has created. We turned away from Him and looked to created things rather than the Creator to give us purpose. He had to send His son, who left His throne and appeared on this world as a sinless baby named Jesus Christ. Christ's death is the atonement for our sins, which we could never atone for by doing good works. 
     My parents have taught me about Christ and being a follower of His. My mom and dad have shown me how to love, forgive, thank, honor, be joyful, be kind, and be gentle, attributes the Bible refers to many times. I am thankful that they have given their time to keeping me healthy, schooling me, cleaning up after me, taking me places, and paying for all the necessities. 
     My sister and I have a close bond. She brings me joy and happiness. I love to see that she is a follower of Christ who blesses her friends by her spirit and those who attend the church services where she plays bass guitar. It is great that she has Christian friends who encourage her. 
     One other blessing I am very thankful for is my friends. They encourage me and include me, and I enjoy every time I am in their company. 
     
     Now I will write about the Thanksgiving dinner. We finalized recipes, made our shopping list, and purchased those ingredients we did not have on the twenty-fifth and made the dishes on the twenty-sixth. Our dishes included pumpkin dinner rolls, a fifteen pound turkey, mashed potatoes, cheesy broccoli and mushroom casserole, and a from-scratch pumpkin pie.
The set-up.
The turkey, made using these instructions.
The whipped cream, which I had tried once before. It
did not have the right consistency until this time,
when I used an electric mixer and mixed longer.

Classical Ballet Variation Music

Hello everyone,
As some of you know or might be able to tell, I love to take classes and perform in the styles of ballet, pointe, jazz, and tap. I'd have to say my favorite style is ballet, and almost 2 years ago I began training on pointe.
Often at ballet studios, students take a "variation class." For those that don't know, a ballet "variation" is a solo dance from a classical ballet. Often students perform these variations at ballet competitions in the U.S. and around the world. I have a fascination with finding the music and other information for these variations, as not much is available on the internet.

If you are a dancer, you can use: the videos I've included to learn a variation, the music to perform the variation at a competition or audition, and the information about the variation to tell people about what you are performing.

This post contains a lot of information: Even if you're not a dancer, you'll enjoy watching the dance videos I've provided and learning more about the ballets.

Please also visit my website here that has even more information about choosing a ballet variation and how I found the music for the songs not on iTunes. 

First, I am organizing the sections in alphabetical order by the name of the ballet (the name of the ballet is underlined and in bold print). Under the name of the ballet, I have listed the name of the choreographer and the name of the composer. Under those two items, there is a table with 3 rows and multiple columns, depending on how many variations I have found videos and music for. The rows will be described below from left to right.
Row 1: "Title of the Variation"
This column gives information about: the name of the character in the ballet who performs the variation & which act of the ballet the variation is performed in. For example, one row in the table under the ballet Don Quixote might say Kitri's variation from act 1. Kitri is who performs the variation, and she performs the specific variation I describe in that row in act 1 of Don Quixote.
Row 2: "Video of the Variation"
Here, you'll find a link to a professional ballet dancer or ballet student performing the variation. I've picked the best variations I have found on the internet to give you an idea of what the variation should look like when you perform it. For example, in the column for videos, it might say "Click here to see Miko Fogarty perform this variation." Click on the word "here" that is written in blue to watch the video. 
Row 3: "Music for the Variation"
Here, I'll say either to search for a few specific words on iTunes or click to download the music. I will always put the words to search on iTunes in order to buy that piece of music in quotation marks. For example, I might say Search iTunes for "Act II: Variation: Cupid" on iTunes. That means search only "Act II: Variation: Cupid" on iTunes, and high-quality music, the same as the music in the video (maybe a tad faster or slower) will come up to purchase. You can, from there, put it on any Apple device using iTunes (or you could buy the music right on your Apple device). Furthermore, not all music is available on iTunes, but still I've been able to find it.
For those few that I found by means other than iTunes, written in blue it will say "Click here to download the music." It will direct you to a page and you can click on an arrow pointing downwards. Once you've clicked the down arrow, the music for that variatiom will download to your computer's file library, and if you're using Windows, the file will most likely end up in the "Downloads" folder. You can then move it to any folder you'd like, upload to iTunes, and add to your Apple device. Or, for either the music you can purchase on iTunes or the music you can download that I have found, you can burn the music file to a CD using iTunes.
