 MEMORIAL MOON CLASS - VA KIDS GROUP Today was a very special class, not only was it the largest (22 kids), it was a class to reinforce a very special occasion, the Memorial of Jesus Death. How to know when to celebrate this occasion as specified in 1 Corinthians 11:24? To really know when the exact date of the ancient Jewish holiday like Passover, you would have to use their Lunar calendar and convert it over to our Solar calendar. Religious leaders, scientists, and mathematicians all play a part in the modern calendars that we have today. To remember something or plan something, in today's world we'd have a calendar (paper or electronic) to remind us. Calendars didn't always exist. So what is their history? What types of calendars do exist? What kind of Calendar do we use in the Western world? Who keeps track of calendars? CALENDARS are super complex and have a lengthy (and looney) history. So I tried to compress the highlights, for this class in a fun way. Lunar (moon) & Solar (sun) calendars exist and to understand them, we need to explore the science surrounding them. Through a few short videos, a drawing activity, and Oreo cookies to help demonstrate the 8 moon phases we began to understand the differences between the lunar & solar cycles. Helping us to understand why we need BOTH calendars in todays world - LUNISOLAR calendars. FYI - to find the exact day for Easter, you start off similar to Memorial and Passover. The 1st FULL moon after the Spring Equinox (March 20), also called the 'Paschal Moon'. The first Sunday after this FULL moon is Easter. We ended with a super fun Kahoot review game! Can't go wrong with Kahoot! HAVE A HAPPY MEMORIAL TOMORROW EVENING!🍷🫓🌕 #themcnuttyprofessor #memorialmoonclass *lunarcalendar #solarcalendar #memorialofjesusdeath #passover #onlineclasses #onlinekidsclasses #science #math #religion #calendars #lunarcycles #solarcycles #phasesofthemoon #oreomoonphases #jwkids #onlinetutor #nisan14 #nasa #lunisolarcalendar
