II. Movie Review:

The day after tomorrow is a science-fiction movie based on a series of chronic and catastrophic climate even sure global cooling which will eventually lead to an ice age.  The movie starts, with a group of Paleo climatologist, on an expedition in Antarctica where the protagonist Jack Hall, Frank and Jason are drilling ice for some experiments and the ice shelf completely breaks off. Jack presents his conclusions but many have it hard to believe. Violent weather begins to cause mass destruction and deaths. The situation worsens and develops into 3 massive hurricanes. Now it is up to the world to prepare for a torrential, massive change.

I would surely recommend this movie to teens, young adults and adults. It is a complex movie for children to understand. This is a movie where you can learn many things, from what harms our environment to every day, and Christian lessons. I really enjoyed this film, it's filled with suspense action and fast-paced exciting events. The day after tomorrow has amazing special effects that make it more realistic. 

III. Concepts

1-Snow shoes:

With seats of chairs, Sam and his friends made snowshoes to walk through snow. This increases the surface area of each step therefore reduces the pressure. This avoided their feet to sink in the snow.

2-Water freezing:

This is an example of a state of matter. When the water got to the subway station it froze the process called freezing.

3-Chemical Property:

When Sam and his friends find shelter in the library they create a fire burning books. This is an example of a chemical property. Cause a paper on being burned becomes ash having a different properties.

4-Hail:

In the city, huge chunks begin to fall from the sky. Hail is formed through deposition. This process is when gas turns directly into a solid.

5-Melting point:

Because ice has a high melting point, after the Earth settled out, the climate was still cool and ice could not reach its melting point.

6-Scientific Method:

Jack and his teammates approach the scientific method. They first had a logical approach to solving the problem by serving and collect data, formulating hypothesis, and then testing these hypothesis and theories.

7- Technological development

Jack uses a device to see hurricanes from a satellite make these predictions of where their locations might be. The logical development typically involves the production and use of products that improve our quality of life. Jack also used to GPS which is a device used when you want to find a place, in this case, his son.
