Reply to "Science Workshop: Lessons and Ideas for Teaching the Story of Creation"

"Matters of Faith" Science Workshop

View and print the attached PDF of the lesson

Summary:

  • Scripture: Genesis 1:1-5
  • Focus:  Light in the darkness, God's creative force and great metaphor.


Activities:
 The lab leader begins with an experiment using light, and then students use "sunpaper" to create images with light.

Suggested Improvements:

The "light" experiment could be expanded a bit, and let kids get more hands-on with it. Do more to contrast "light vs darkness" which is one of the Bible's primary metaphors. Light/illuminating/guiding/focusing/warming is a great metaphor to explore. Should also reference John 1:1-18 "in him was light..."

For the sunpaper experiment, try "WRITING" words and ideas from the scripture or students' reflection using LIGHT instead of simply making light images of created things like plants.  See Rotation.org writing with "sunpaper" experiments at https://www.rotation.org/topic...-with-light-sunlight
