  • Pencil
  • BibleMouse Science Journal
  • Simple objects for demonstration (ball, rubber band, paper)

Lesson Plan

1Opening (5 min)

Reflect on how physical laws remain constant, just like God's love

💭 Review Question: What scientific principles did we learn this week that always work the same way?
2Teaching (15 min)

Exploring how scientific laws reveal God's design and consistency

📌 Key Talking Points:
  • Physical laws are predictable because God is a God of order
  • Every scientific principle demonstrates divine intentionality
  • Creation reflects the character of its Creator
💬 Discussion Questions:
  • How do gravity, motion, and energy show God's intelligent design?

3Activity: Creation's Consistent Laws (15 min)
discussion

Interactive exploration of scientific principles using simple demonstrations

📝 Instructions:
  1. Drop objects and observe gravity
  2. Stretch rubber band to demonstrate elastic potential energy
  3. Discuss how these principles always work the same way
🔄 Variations:

Simpler: Focus on 2-3 basic demonstrations
