Talibiddeen Jr.

So verily, I swear by the planets that recede (i.e. disappear during the day and appear during the night).
And by the planets that move swiftly and hide themselves.
(81:15-16)

Or like a rainstorm from the sky,

wherein is darkness, thunder, and lightning.

(2:19)

Surely, Allâh wrongs

not even of the weight of an atom....

They (science notebooks) are a place where students formulate and record their questions, make predictions, record data, procedures, and results, compose reflections, and communicate findings. Most importantly, notebooks provide a place for students to record new concepts they have learned."
