Lesson Plan

1Opening (3 min)

Welcome to today's BibleMouse science adventure! Yesterday we learned about hearing, and today we'll explore how our skin helps us feel and learn about the world around us.

💭 Review Question: What did you learn about your ears yesterday?
2Teaching (8 min)

Our skin is like a special covering that helps us feel different things. When we touch something, tiny sensors in our skin send messages to our brain about what we're touching.

📌 Key Talking Points:
  • Skin helps us feel soft, rough, smooth, and bumpy things
  • Skin tells us if something is warm or cold
  • God gave us skin to help us explore and understand the world
💬 Discussion Questions:
  • What are some things you like to touch?
  • How does your skin help you know if something is hot or cold?
3Activity: Texture Detective Game (10 min)

  2. Feel different objects with your hands
  3. Try to describe what you feel
