I used this idea in an assembly yesterday, focussing on people we trust and what it means to trust God. This would work really well if you are exploring miracle stories or stories about trust. Suitable verses to use with it might be: Joshua 1:9: Remember, I commanded you to be strong and brave. Don’t be afraid, because the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” Psalm 56: 3 When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. John 14: 1 Jesus said, “Don’t be troubled. Trust in God, and trust in me I have to admit that this trick is not an original idea. I found the trick in this book: Simple Science Object Talks by Heno Head Jnr and would definitely recommend getting cold of a copy if you can! You will need: A glass of water (about half- 2/3 filled) and an index card. This is what you do: place the index card over the top of the glass, making sure that the whole of the rim is covered by it, and press down. Hold onto the top of the card with one hand and move your other hand down the glass, towards the bottom of it. Carefully flip the glass upside down, making sure you keep holding the card in place. You may get a TINY bit of drip page at this point, but don't panic! Now slowly move your card holding hand out from underneath and the card should stick, holding the water at bay! I love using science in assemblies because it is generally fool-proof, as long as you have a little practice first. I got a teacher in the assembly to sit at the front and asked if they trusted me to turn the glass of water upside down on top of their head? Even if I covered it with the card? They were not too eager! I then performed the science and it went down very well! We talked about the fact that what was holding the card in place was the air pressure pressing upwards (stronger than gravity pressing downwards). Please forgive my scientific explanations- they are not my strong suit! We can't see the air pressure but we know it must be working or the water would drop out. We can't see God but we know that he is there holding us up and supporting us too. The teacher might not have wanted to trust me, but I knew what I was doing and God knows what He is doing! Talk about: What is trust? Who do you trust and why? Have you ever trusted God? When might you need to God? Encourage children to all have a go at he trick, but make sure you have something ready to collect the drips just in case!
I have seen pictures on the internet of plants withering when fed microwaved water, and I wanted to know for myself, so I offered to pay each of my three grandchildren $1 if they would do an experiment for me. Their mom, Charla Virkler, oversaw the experiment and she shares the results below.
We started our Sunday School Creation: Day 2 – God made the Sky lesson by revising the previous lesson. “After God made the light, God looked out over the world and there was water E.V.E.R.Y.W.H.E.R.E!” I told my kiddos. “I don’t know about you, but I’m not a good swimmer at all.” I asked my little dears […]

This past summer, like all the summers before in our homeschooling journey, the kids and I spent our days exploring one part of God's creation. Since we live in the tundra for nearly nine months of the year, our ability to investigate nature is limited to summer time. (This post contains affiliate links. Please see my disclosure policy for full details.) Using some delight-directed planning, we usually choose one nature topic to investigate all summer long. This year, the children unanimously voted to learn about WEATHER. Here are a few things we included in our three-month-long unit... Books National Geographic Kids Everything Weather: Facts, Photos, and Fun that Will Blow You Away Weather (Eye Wonder) The Kids' Book of Weather Forecasting (Williamson Kids Can! Series) Clouds (Weather) 100 Things You Should Know About Weather The Usborne Book of Weather Facts: Records, Lists, Facts, Comparisons Weather (Usborne Spotter's Guide) Science With Weather (Usborne Science Activities) Projects Cloud/Temperature Calendar Every day through the month of July, we tracked the high and low temps as well as determined the type of cloud formation that was prevalent throughout the majority of the afternoon. We documented our findings on a calendar printable and glued these into our nature journals. Weather Fact Fans We put together a simple fact fan and designated a page for each major type of weather occurrence. As we learned about each topic, the children did a small notebook journal entry onto that particular card in their fact fans. Water Cycle Demo Bag After learning about the water cycle, we each drew a sketch of the process onto a ziplock bag. We poured about a cup of water into the bag, taped it to a window on a sunny side of the house, and waited. Within a day or two, we were able to see the water evaporating, condensing, and precipitating on the side of the bag. Rain Gauge Using the bottom half of a pop bottle, we made a simple rain gauge. We set it outside and checked it after each rain. We just happened to have an unusually wet summer this year, so there was a lot of action each week in our gauge. Air Scale To demonstrate the fact that air has weight, we made a simple air scale. We blew up two equal-sized balloons to two different sizes and taped them each to opposite ends of a ruler. We tied a string to the center of the ruler and held the entire contraption up by the string. Just like on a traditional scale, the ruler tipped towards the end with the heavier balloon showing that air does, in fact, have weight...the balloon with the most air weighed more. Simple Barometer A barometer is used to measure air pressure. While our homemade version did not tell us an exact measurement of pressure, it was able to clearly show CHANGES in pressure. You will need: a glass with a wide mouth a balloon a rubber band scissors a drinking straw tape a piece of paper or cardstock and a pen Directions: Cut the mouth piece off of the balloon and discard. Stretch the balloon over the mouth of the glass. Secure with a rubber band. Using the tape, secure the straw to the top of the balloon. The straw should be placed as close to the middle of the balloon as possible. Use the paper or cardstock to mark the place where the end of the straw naturally rests. Check the placement of the straw end each day and mark any changes. You should be able to see that the air pressure raises or lowers the balloon which in turn moves the end of the straw up or down.

Every kid has been thirsty, and every kid drinks water throughout their week. I like to use water, straws, and Psalm 42:1-2 (NIrV) to teach kids about being thirsty for God’s Word. The best part?
