Lesson Plan

1Opening (3 min)

Welcome to today's BibleMouse science adventure! Let's remember how we learned about moving things yesterday.

💭 Review Question: Can you show me how things move fast and slow?
2Teaching (5 min)

Today we'll explore how round things love to roll! God made some shapes that move in special ways.

📌 Key Talking Points:
  • Round things have a special shape that helps them move
  • Balls and cylinders roll easily
  • Not all shapes roll the same way
💬 Discussion Questions:
  • What round things do you see around our home?
  • Can you find something that rolls?
3Activity: Roll and Explore (6 min)
hands-on

Let's test different objects and see what rolls!

📝 Instructions:
  1. Place objects on a flat surface
  2. Gently push each object
  3. Watch and see which ones roll
  4. Sort objects into 'Roll' and 'Don't Roll' groups
🔄 Variations:

Simpler: Help child push objects and observe

Challenge: Predict which objects will roll before testing

4Closing (3 min)

Let's thank God for making such interesting ways for things to move!

📝 Review Questions:
  • What round things did we see today?
  • Can you show me how a ball rolls?

Coming up: Tomorrow we'll learn about things that slide instead of roll
