Huh. I’ve never heard of “life” or “alive” being defined as “the presence of the Breath of God” before. My biggest concern is that kids are going to be freaked out when they accidentally step on an insect or a plant since those are being kept alive through the Breath of God.
If the authors are going to put a price tag on the elements in the human body, they really should show their math.
- They include a diagram later that estimates the total weight of various elements found in a 165 pound person. If this is supposed to be a stand-alone curriculum, some math could be inserted by having students find the weight of each element in a person of their size.
- They could then use the current prices of various elements through Sigma-Aldrich or another chemical supply company to determine what the chemical scrap value of their body is worth.
