Saturday Science- Peeps!

 Caution!


If you're attached to Peeps... this is NOT for the faint of heart.

With it being summertime and all, we've had some family time roasting mallows in the backyard. Our kids received some Peeps from their Nana and our oldest asked, "Hey Mom! Why don't we try roasting Peeps and see what happens?"

Saturday Science- Salt Crystals

Noah Plan Quarter 1, Week 2

 ~ Egg Shell Geodes ~

Aren't geodes so neat? We did this along with our Principle Approach® study of the Scientific Method. The study found in The Noah Plan Kindergarten Curriculum has an experiment which yields rather immediate results. However, we also wanted to try one that would help cultivate patience and also show that the scientific method can be applied to experiments which can take a while to work through.

So, some of us already have taught the Scientific Method. My question is, how many of us have taught it with Biblical foundations? For instance, do you know when science began? The idea of science had to begin at some point in history. What about God's character is revealed during the first week of creation? Why is that even important to know? Do you know why it's important to study science- I mean for reasons other than apologetics? How do these things tie in with the Scientific Method? All of the answers to these questions are found in the Bible and covered in this week's lesson found in The Noah Plan Kindergarten Curriculum.

What about noting famous scientists who were also believers? Hmmmm.... maybe you'll learn a few things about a couple of the men involved with the Pre-Scientific Method and the Scientific Method in your notebooking page.

Download free Principle Approach® notebooking pages your kids can use to go along with this lesson!

If you do this lesson ahead of time, you'll have salt crystal squares which tie in perfectly with this Principle Approach® art lesson. You might also like to tie it in with a Principle Approach® Geography study on Earthquakes and Volcanoes.
