🎯 What You'll Learn

Learning Objectives

1

Understand that heat moves from warmer to cooler objects

2

Demonstrate heat transfer through a simple experiment

3

Recognize God's design in how energy moves

📖 Scripture Connection

Proverbs 27:17

“As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.”

— Proverbs 27:17 (WEB)

Just as heat moves between objects, people can transfer energy and influence each other through interactions

📦 Materials Needed

  • Two glasses of water
  • Hot water
  • Cold water
  • Thermometer
  • Ice cubes
  • Towel
  • BibleMouse science journal

Lesson Plan

1Opening (5 min)

Welcome to today's BibleMouse science adventure! Let's remember what we learned about temperature yesterday.

💭 Review Question: Can you tell me what a thermometer does?
2Teaching (10 min)

Heat is an amazing energy that loves to travel! It always wants to move from something warm to something cooler.

📌 Key Talking Points:
  • Heat is like an energetic traveler moving between objects
  • Warm things always try to make cool things warmer
  • God designed heat to move and spread in fascinating ways
💬 Discussion Questions:
  • What happens when you touch something hot?
  • Have you ever felt warmth spread from one object to another?
3Activity: Heat Transfer Experiment (12 min)
demonstration

Observe how heat moves between different temperatures of water

📝 Instructions:
  1. Fill two glasses with water at different temperatures
  2. Use thermometer to check starting temperatures
  3. Place glasses next to each other
  4. Watch and record temperature changes
  5. Record observations in BibleMouse science journal
🔄 Variations:

Simpler: Parent helps with temperature readings

Challenge: Student creates graph of temperature changes

4Closing (3 min)

Review our heat transfer discoveries

📝 Review Questions:
  • Where did the heat want to go?
  • What did you notice happening?

Coming up: Tomorrow we'll explore different sources of heat that God has created!
