— Job 39:26-27 (WEB)Demonstrates God's incredible design of animal migration and navigation abilities
Welcome to today's BibleMouse science adventure! Last week we explored how animals have special body coverings. Today, we'll discover how some animals travel incredible distances to survive.
Migration is how some animals travel long distances to find food, stay safe, or have babies. Just like God guides us, He gives animals special abilities to travel.
Use the BibleMouse migration map to trace routes of different animals
Simpler: Trace pre-drawn routes with parent help
Challenge: Research and create your own migration route map
Reflect on how amazing God's creation is, giving animals special abilities to survive and travel
Coming up: Tomorrow we'll explore how some animals hibernate during winter!
