Lesson Plan

1Opening (3 min)

Welcome to today's BibleMouse science adventure! Let's remember what we learned yesterday about how wind can push things.

💭 Review Question: Can you show me how wind pushed things yesterday?
2Teaching (5 min)

Today we'll explore how wind can be different - sometimes strong, sometimes gentle.

📌 Key Talking Points:
  • Wind can blow softly like a gentle breeze
  • Wind can also blow strongly like a big gust
  • Different winds move things differently
💬 Discussion Questions:
  • What does a gentle breeze feel like?
  • How does a strong wind sound?
3Activity: Wind Strength Exploration (6 min)
experimentation

Experiment with different wind strengths using a fan and various light objects

📝 Instructions:
  1. Blow softly on a feather
  2. Use the fan on low setting
  3. Try the fan on high setting
  4. Watch how objects move differently
🔄 Variations:

Simpler: Parent helps child blow gently or use fan

Challenge: Child predicts how objects will move before testing

4Closing (3 min)

Let's remember that God creates all kinds of winds - soft and strong!
