00:01 The experiments you will see
00:02 have been carefully done by professionals, 00:04 and should not be tried at home 00:05 without parental guidance. 00:06 Please follow the caution signs throughout this program. 00:32 Hey, kids, thanks for joining us today 00:34 for Creation is Science, 00:36 where we're learning about our Creator 00:38 through awesome science. 00:40 I am so delighted to have Colton here, Jafet 00:44 and, of course, Professor Roy, 00:46 and I have Amanda and William. 00:48 Are you glad to be here? 00:49 Yes. 00:51 Do you know what we're doing today? 00:52 I don't know. 00:54 I don't see anything out here. 00:55 Maybe, are we taking something off the shelf? 00:58 We're going outside. 00:59 We're going outside. 01:00 What are we doing outside? 01:02 We're gonna throw something. 01:03 That's interesting, isn't it? Yes. 01:05 In fact, we're gonna talk about a simple machine actually. 01:08 Does your body have simple machines in it? 01:11 It does it. Cool. 01:13 Put your arms out like this. Okay. 01:14 Now bend your elbows. Okay. 01:16 And that's the hands, isn't it? 01:18 Your elbow is a hinge 01:19 and that's where everything pivots from here. 01:21 And if you're gonna throw something, 01:22 what do you do? 01:23 You use your big lever. 01:25 Your whole arm becomes a huge lever 01:27 and you can throw things. 01:28 That's interesting, 01:30 but we can throw things with a mechanical arm 01:32 and that's what we've got outside. 01:34 And it looks a lot like a... 01:37 Let's see a catapult, 01:40 but it's not a catapult. 01:41 And so you're gonna learn maybe a new word. 01:43 And so that's what we're gonna talk about when we go outside, 01:46 that'd be kind of cool, won't it? 01:48 And we'll figure out how we can throw some things. 01:50 Let's do that. 01:51 You wanna do that? I do. 01:52 Okay. All right. 01:54 Oh, you're gonna show us something, go ahead. 01:55 I don't know. 01:57 We could use a lever, 01:58 like a little spoon right here 01:59 and then we can shoot it across the room like that. 02:01 Isn't that cool? 02:03 What happens if we use a long arm, 02:05 we're gonna find out when we get outside. 02:06 Hey, before that, 02:08 all of you have a spoon in your pocket, right? 02:11 You have a spoon in your pocket. 02:12 I want you to aim it at Professor Roy, 02:14 are you ready? 02:16 Yeah. Get it ready. 02:17 Do you have something ready? 02:18 Okay. On your mark, you have it ready? 02:20 On your mark, get set go. 02:22 Whoa! 02:23 All right. Let's go ahead and go outside. 02:25 Oh, boy. Let's have fun. 02:27 Oh, boy, I'm not cleaning that up. 02:32 Wow! 02:33 What is this? 02:36 What is it? 02:37 A catapult? A catapult. 02:38 It looks something like that. 02:40 It looks like a catapult? 02:41 I've never seen one like this. 02:43 You know a lot of people call this a catapult, 02:45 but it's not. 02:46 It's a cousin to a catapult 02:48 and it's called a trebuchet, trebuchet. 02:50 Interesting. 02:51 A catapult, it uses a springing device 02:53 something to make it go and it springs. 02:55 But this, we use weights, 02:57 we use counterweights with this. 02:58 So what we're gonna try to do today is 03:00 we're gonna use this mechanical thing. 03:02 Okay. This is the mechanical arm. 03:03 It's a very, very long lever arm, right? 03:06 Just like your hand. Okay. 03:08 Put your hand out like this. Okay. 03:09 Now what we wanna do is 03:11 we wanna try to throw this little ball right here. 03:13 Now, if you wanna throw this ball, 03:15 then your big lever and your arm, 03:17 that's what you're going to be using, right? 03:19 Yeah. 03:20 So you think somebody with a short arm 03:22 could throw it further than somebody with a big long arm? 03:25 No. 03:26 Probably not, right? 03:28 So here we have a very long lever. 03:29 So we're gonna start out with some weights 03:32 and the weights are going to make that arm 03:34 come over very, very quickly. 03:35 We're gonna start out with 10 pounds on each side. 03:38 Let's try that. So let's check that out. Okay. 03:40 So what we have is 03:41 we've got some Olympic weights right here 03:44 and we're gonna put 10 pounds on each side. 03:46 Okay. 03:48 So how many pounds do we have in total? 03:49 Twenty. 03:51 Twenty pounds. That's right. 03:52 Twenty pounds of weight. All right. 03:54 Now it's gonna go what direction? 03:57 It's gonna go that direction. Okay. 03:59 So, where do you want them to go? 04:01 I think, well, let's stand over here, 04:03 but let's face this way 04:05 and then you're gonna get ready. 04:07 Who wants to run out first? 04:08 Colton, are you ready? All right. 04:10 I'm gonna hand you the ball. All right. 04:12 I'm gonna bring the lever arm down 04:14 and you can put it in that little cage right there. 04:16 All right. 04:17 Are you ready? I'm ready. 04:19 Are you folks ready? Yeah. 04:20 Are you folks ready at all? All right, let's try. 04:22 Let's bring it down. All right. 04:23 Here we go. 04:24 All right. We gotta do a countdown, right? 04:26 All right. I'm gonna stand it back with you. 04:27 Ready for a countdown? Three, two, one. 04:29 Let's go. 04:30 Three, two, one. 04:32 Let's get it go. 04:35 Well, you know what? 04:36 If we want it to go further, can we make it go further? 04:38 Yeah. 04:40 How could we do that? 04:41 Put more weight on it. Put more weight. 04:43 Hey, are you ready to put more weights? 04:44 I'm ready to put some more weight. 04:45 Let's try it. So, okay. 04:47 What I'm gonna do is 04:48 let me stop this arm a little bit. 04:49 Let's move this back. 04:51 All right, here we go. 04:52 Okay. Let's go ahead. 04:54 And we're gonna take the clamps off 04:55 and we're gonna add some more weight. 04:56 So let's add, let's see, 04:58 we've got 25 pounds on each side now. 05:00 Twenty five pounds, so 25 plus 10 is what? 05:05 Thirty five. 05:06 All right. Say it loud. 05:08 Thirty five. 05:09 Okay. 05:10 And so the total is what? 05:13 Thirty five plus thirty five is what now? 05:16 Wait, wait, 35 plus what? 05:18 Thirty five plus thirty five. 05:19 We have 35 on this side. 05:21 We have 35 on this side. How much... 05:23 How many pounds do we have? 05:24 Is it 35 or 25? 05:26 Thirty five on each side. 05:27 Now, because we have 10 plus 25. 05:28 Oh, Yeah. 05:30 Three plus three is what? 05:31 Sixty plus five and five is what? 05:34 Seventy. Okay. 05:35 Now we can go. 05:37 All right, here we go. Let's go. 05:38 That's also our math lesson for today. 05:40 Yeah, we gotta get our math. 05:41 We gotta practice right. 05:42 Got it? 05:44 Yes, I do. All right. 05:45 Yes, I do. All right. 05:47 Okay. All right. Are you ready? 05:49 All right. Go ahead, William. 05:50 We've got 70 pounds. 05:51 It should go further, right? 05:53 Let's see. 05:54 You asked for more weight and we want it to go further 05:56 and we might even get it to go faster. 05:58 How about three, two, one countdown? 06:00 Three, two, one, go. 06:04 Whoa! 06:05 It went higher, didn't it? 06:07 It went higher. Wow. 06:08 It went higher. 06:10 Okay, here we go. 06:11 We're gonna bring this back again. 06:13 All right. We're gonna bring this back. 06:15 And he's way down there chasing that ball. 06:17 All right, come on over William. 06:19 Now let ask you a question, you guys. 06:22 Let me ask you a question. 06:23 Let me ask you a question. 06:24 If we want it to go, you want it to go further? 06:26 Yes. 06:28 You think it could go further? Yes. 06:29 How could it go further? 06:31 By putting knees. 06:32 Putting more weights on there. Okay. 06:34 Well we have 45 pounds on this side, 06:36 45 pounds on this side. 06:37 You think we can get all 45 pounds on each side on? 06:41 You think we can do that? Yeah. 06:42 Okay. Are you feeling strong? 06:44 I am. I'm ready. 06:47 Let's try it. You're ready. 06:48 All right, so let's go ahead. 06:49 We're gonna take that off like there. 06:51 All right, let's get this. 06:53 Boy, this is heavy, isn't it? It is. 06:55 Forty five pounds on each side. 06:57 All right. All right, 45 pounds. 07:01 Wow, that is really heavy. 07:03 All right. 07:04 So somebody is going to have to add up 07:05 all these numbers or pounds. 07:07 Who can add it up? 07:08 How many pounds do we have? 07:10 Seventy. 07:12 How many pounds do we have? 07:14 What's that? Well, it's 45 plus 45 is what? 07:17 Ninety. Ninety. Okay. 07:18 Ninety plus, what did we have before? 07:20 Seventy. 07:22 Ninety plus seventy is what? 07:24 One hundred and sixty. 07:25 One hundred and sixty pounds. 07:26 Are you 160 pounds? 07:28 Okay, we all in agreement. Okay. 07:29 And that's how much I weigh. 07:31 Really? Wow. 07:32 Let's see what we got. All right. 07:33 So here we've got our ball right here. 07:35 Okay, who's running? Amanda, are you ready? 07:36 Well, we got our ball, right? 07:37 And let's see. 07:39 Now, let's see, I might need help pulling it down. 07:40 Okay. Are you ready? 07:42 I'm ready. Okay. 07:43 All right. Let's pull this down. 07:45 There we go. 07:46 Oh, boy, that's really tough. That is heavy. 07:47 Okay. All right, here we go. 07:49 All right. All right. 07:50 I got it. I have it. 07:51 Are we ready? 07:53 Are we ready? 07:54 All right. Three, two, one countdown. 07:56 Here we go. Let's go. 07:57 Three, two, one, go! 08:03 All right. It bounced over her head. 08:04 That is awesome. 08:06 It bounced over her head. 08:07 Now, hey, I wanna ask you a question. 08:09 Did you notice something interesting? 08:11 When that went off, 08:12 when that arm swung out like this, 08:14 what did this whole bottom do? 08:16 What did it do? 08:18 Did it move back and forth? Yes. 08:19 It went way over there. 08:20 We started right here 08:22 and you know, it went that way 08:23 because it absorbed all of that energy. 08:24 It took some of that energy. 08:26 And if we didn't have this on wheels, 08:28 you know what it would do? 08:30 It would throw the ball 08:31 and the whole thing would fall over. 08:33 We wouldn't want that. Hey, thanks. 08:35 Wow. That went far, didn't it? 08:37 So in order for us to get the, get this ball to go further, 08:40 or maybe even faster, or maybe even higher, 08:43 we had to ask for something. 08:44 What did you ask for? 08:46 More weight. More weights. 08:47 That's right. Now, that's interesting. 08:49 You know, have you ever asked for things? 08:52 You know, do you think that God wants us to ask for stuff? 08:56 I think so. 08:58 What, does He want us to ask for, do you think? 09:01 What does God wanna ask... 09:03 What do you wanna ask God for? 09:04 You've never asked God for anything? 09:06 You know, there's somebody in the Bible. 09:07 I have. 09:09 There's somebody in the Bible called Jabez 09:10 and we call it the Jabez prayer, right? 09:13 And Jabez he prayed and he said, 09:15 Lord, he says, I want You to bless me indeed. 09:19 Indeed, he want God's blessing. 09:22 Do you want God's blessing? Yes. 09:24 I want God's blessing too. 09:26 Lodge my territory. That's right. 09:28 Sometimes we don't receive because we just don't what? 09:32 We just don't ask, isn't that cool? 09:35 And God is happy to supply us what we want, 09:39 if it's according to His will. 09:41 Isn't that awesome? It is. 09:43 Wow. So what do we call this? 09:46 Remember? 09:47 Yeah, yeah. 09:50 Trebuchet. 09:51 Trebuchet. That's exactly right. 09:53 And it's a mechanical arm. 09:54 There's a lot of leverage, a lot of leverage with that. 09:57 That's pretty cool, isn't it? 09:58 Hey, thanks for running after this ball. 10:00 Well, can you think of anything else? 10:02 Well, I'm just amazed because yes, 10:04 we have to ask for things. 10:06 And sometimes, you know, 10:07 how many of you have ever asked for something in prayer? 10:11 I remember asking for a cat the longest time. 10:13 Did you ever pray for a cat? 10:15 Yes. No. 10:16 I prayed for a cat 10:18 and sometimes I notice that 10:19 God hears the prayers of you. 10:23 Have you ever had a prayer that was answered? 10:25 Yes. 10:27 You'll be willing to share a prayer 10:28 that God has answered for you? 10:29 Yes. Go ahead, William. One time I was... 10:32 I went on vacation. 10:33 I went in the pool and then my oldest brother, 10:37 he threw my goggles and then they went under water. 10:41 I prayed that I could find the inside piece. 10:44 I started praying. 10:45 And then it's then 10:47 when I came around the other side, 10:49 I saw my goggle piece. 10:52 Oh, so God answered your prayer. 10:54 I love hearing stories. 10:56 Do you have a prayer like that? 10:57 All right. Any of you? 10:59 Yeah. You do, Jafet? 11:00 Whenever I was sick, 11:01 sometimes I've asked Him to heal me and He did. 11:04 Yes. 11:05 The next day I was feeling great. 11:06 Do you know that God hears everything 11:09 and we just need to ask Him. 11:10 And sometimes we do wanna ask Him to help you 11:12 with maybe a test. 11:14 Have any of you taken tests yet? 11:15 Have you taken a test yet? 11:17 Like a math test or something? Only... 11:18 Two times? Five times. 11:20 Not too many times. 11:21 Sometimes we need to ask for God. 11:23 Now we have to do our very best, 11:25 like we had to work a little bit, right? 11:27 We had to work a little bit with this arm 11:29 and we had to constantly like hold on to it 11:33 and hold on to God's Word. 11:34 But then what happens later? 11:36 Let God. Okay. 11:38 We let God take care of it. 11:39 We do what we can. 11:41 And there's other times that 11:42 God has to just totally take control, right? 11:45 We have to have that prayer of Jabez that says, 11:48 "Please enlarge my territory." 11:50 Who wants to take tests running after a ball 11:53 and throwing the ball real quick? 11:54 Who wants to hurry up and throw a ball? 11:55 Who didn't get to run out? 11:57 You didn't get to run out. 11:58 Do you wanna throw it out or go get it? 12:00 Go get it, I guess. 12:01 You're gonna go get it. Who's gonna throw it? 12:03 Can I? 12:05 Go ahead? 12:07 Colton, come over here and start. 12:08 Are we ready to count? 12:11 All right. 12:12 All right. Three, two, one. 12:17 Oh, you threw it pretty far like that 10 pound line. 12:19 All right. He's gonna get it. 12:21 Who's gonna throw out. 12:22 You wanna try that? Yes. 12:24 All right. Let's try. 12:25 I wanna see what happens. 12:26 Come running, come running, running. 12:29 All right. 12:30 We might need two of you running out 12:32 or you're gonna throw it. 12:33 I'm gonna go out. Was that fun? 12:34 Yes. Thank you. 12:36 Let's head back. 12:37 Yeah, thank you, Professor Roy. 12:39 All right. I say thank you. 12:40 Let's go. 12:41 That was so much fun, didn't you enjoy that? 12:43 Yeah. That was wild. 12:46 So what was that called, William. 12:48 Do you remember what it was called? 12:49 A trebuchet. 12:50 A trebuchet. Good job. 12:52 That was wonderful. 12:54 Now that trebuchet wasn't always used for something good 12:57 like we did today going far out. 13:00 It was used for something else. 13:01 Can you tell us a little bit about it? 13:03 Yeah. They wanted to break in a castle or a wall. 13:05 It could break down a door or a huge gate, 13:08 or sometimes they would take an animal 13:10 or something that was diseased 13:11 and throw it over a wall and make everybody sick. 13:14 No, I haven't heard an animal before, 13:16 but I have heard about fire. 13:18 Ooh, yeah fire. 13:19 And that caused a lot of destruction in that time. 13:21 And like the 16th century, is that about right? 13:23 Absolutely. I think so. 13:25 But whatever it was evil, 13:27 God can turn things around if we let Him, 13:29 if we pray for Him. 13:31 And that reminds me of a prayer 13:32 that is in 1 Chronicles 4:10. 13:36 And it says about... 13:37 Talks about Jabez having a prayer. 13:40 Do you know what he prayed? 13:42 Do you know what he prayed? 13:43 He said, "Please enlarge my..." 13:45 Territory. "Territory." You're right. 13:47 He wanted God to just help him grow. 13:50 Do we want Jesus to grow in our hearts? 13:52 Yes. 13:53 So that we can grow to be more like Him. 13:55 I really hope that we can do that. 13:58 And I'm so excited that we have this opportunity. 14:00 Thank you for bringing that trebuchet. 14:02 I really enjoyed that. 14:03 That was fun. Yes. 14:05 We can see God's creation all around us 14:08 because creation is? 14:09 Science. |
