📚 Step-by-Step

Lesson Plan

1Opening (5 min)

Welcome to today's BibleMouse science adventure! Yesterday, we learned about melting. Today, we'll explore the opposite process - freezing!

💭 Review Question: What happened to the ice when we warmed it up yesterday?
2Teaching (10 min)

Let's discover how cooling changes liquids into solids. God created amazing ways that materials can change!

📌 Key Talking Points:
  • Cooling makes liquids turn into solids
  • Water becomes ice when it gets very cold
  • Freezing is like the opposite of melting
💬 Discussion Questions:
  • What happens to water when we put it in the freezer?
  • Can you think of other things that freeze?
3Activity: Freezing Exploration (12 min)
hands-on

Students will observe water turning into ice

📝 Instructions:
  1. Fill small cups with water
  2. Place cups in the freezer
  3. Check and draw pictures of water changing every 15 minutes
  4. Record observations in your BibleMouse science journal
🔄 Variations:

Simpler: Use pre-filled ice cube trays

Challenge: Predict how long water will take to freeze completely

4Closing (3 min)

Let's remember how God created materials that can change in wonderful ways!

📝 Review Questions:
  • What did we learn about freezing today?
  • How does cooling change water?

Coming up: Tomorrow, we'll explore how we can change materials by cutting and folding
