Lesson Plan

1Opening (3 min)

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

💭 Review Question: Can you show me how water can look different?
2Teaching (8 min)

Today we'll explore how water can become ice and then melt back to water. God created water to be wonderful and changeable!

📌 Key Talking Points:
  • Water can be liquid (flowing) or solid (ice)
  • Ice forms when water gets very cold
  • Heat can turn ice back into liquid water
💬 Discussion Questions:
  • What happens to water when it gets very cold?
  • Have you ever seen ice cubes?
