J is for Jellyfish

June 25, 2014 By: amyswandering3 Comments

Welcome to letter J in the ABC’s of Nature, a series hosted by School Time Snippets. 26 bloggers are sharing a nature themed post beginning with a specific letter of the alphabet.

We moved from Texas to Florida last year and instantly fell in love with the beach. We like to go exploring along the Gulf coast because we never know what we will discover. One of our fascinating finds was a beautiful jellyfish. (Thankfully we’ve not come across any live ones.) Have fun learning about these amazing creatures!

J is for Jellyfish

Did You Know…

  • Jellyfish are 95% water and 5% proteins & salt
  • A  jellyfish larva lives as a polyp on the ocean floor and eventually buds off into multiple young jellyfish.
  • A group of jellyfish is called a bloom, swarm, or smack.
  • A jelly fish has no brain, heart, blood, or nervous system.

Complete Collection

Children are a Blessing

“If we are to live our lives according to the Word of God, we must ask ourselves, ‘What saith the Scripture?’ Join the Moore family in this timely documentary as they briefly expose the evil history of the birth control movement on the 50th anniversary of “the pill.” (View the trailer below.) Listen as they transparently share their testimony of how God, in His grace and mercy, opened their eyes in spite of their own sinful beginning. Be encouraged as they casually answer questions often posed to large families. Then, experience the joy of Biblical family life as they anticipate, give birth to, and welcome their tenth child into their home. Most of all, be inspired to look to the Word of God for answers to everything in life, but specifically to see that Children are a Blessing.”

More than Making Maple Syrup

“From the tapping of the trees on their beautiful Virginia farm, to the final process of canning the delicious syrup, More Than Making Maple Syrup will be sure to delight and inform the young and old alike. In 7 simple steps, you’ll learn more than just how to make your own syrup. With family unity as a theme, and with a good dose of adorable two-year-old antics and humor, your family will be inspired to work together on your own projects in your neck of the woods! “

*New – ABC Say It With Me

ABC Say It With Me – Bible Memory Verses teaches children of all ages (and adults too!) a memory verse for each letter of the alphabet. But that’s not all! Each letter also has a corresponding one to two minute vignette showing a visual depiction of the verse put into practice.

It Is Your Life- Moss Family
In this first film of the It Is Your Life series, get a refreshing glimpse into the daily life of the Mosses, a Christian family training their children in the ways of the Lord. Learn about:
  • Why they educate their children at home
  • Why Beverly stays home to care for the family
  • How George leads his family in Bible reading and prayer
  • Why they trust God for children after 6 c-sections
  • How God brought their family through a time of trial
  • How brothers and sisters can be best friends

It Is Your Life – Moody Family
“In this increasingly secular world, God is raising up families that love Him and seek to obey His Word. They aren’t perfect families. But God, in His grace, is doing a work in their hearts and homes. In this second episode of It is Your Life, we’ll take you to the beautiful mountains of North Carolina to visit the home of the Moody Family. You will be encouraged, challenged, and inspired as Trent and Angela transparently share the joys and challenges of raising a Christian family in an ungodly culture.”
