Closer to Truth  "Did God Create Time?"  God and Time are two huge mysteries; relating them probes the nature of God, and perhaps even the existence of a Creator. If God is in Time and experiences its passage, then how could God have created Time? (And if God didn't create Time, how could God be omnipotent?) If God is not in Time, how could God interact with humans? Also Leibniz's famous question: "Why didn't God create the world sooner?". [P]

Science In Focus: Force and Motion  "Force Against Force"  Magnets stick to other magnets and to metal objects made of iron or steel. How much force is required to break the attraction between two magnets? In this workshop, fourth-grade students explore ways to balance the force of magnetism against the force of gravity. A magnet placed in a cup on one side of a pan-balance is stuck to a stationary magnet beneath the cup. When enough washers are placed on the opposite side of the balance, the magnets will separate. Graphical analysis shows some unexpected results. [G]
