Focus: Creation shows us that God is orderly in the water cycle.
When God created the Earth, He placed everything in a good order. The water cycle shows how
the Earth and its atmosphere were designed in a perfect way. Learn more about the water
cycle yourself from the Science Learning Hub (see resources for link).

Water Cycle Worksheet (G308W).
Watch and sing the Water Cycle Song from YouTube (see resources).
Follow the instructions in the Water Cycle Experiment (see resources) to show how water
from the ocean evaporates, condenses and precipitates on land. You might need to
introduce these water cycle words to the children.
Focus: Creation shows us that God is orderly in the food web.
God designed food webs as a system in which plants are food for small animals. The small
animals then become food for larger animals. When creating the Universe He made the food
before creating higher forms of life. Note that although food webs are complex food systems,
young children can begin to learn about them by looking at food chains. A food chain is a
simple, linear sequence of feeding relationships found within food webs. The order of the food
chain relates to the order of the energy being received. For example, the energy in leaves is
transferred to (received by) a caterpillar (the leaves are eaten by the caterpillar). The energy
in the caterpillar is then transferred to a bird and then to a cat. The food chain would look like
this: leavescaterpillarbirdcat.
Suggested Learning Experiences

Discuss the pets that the children have at home. What do they eat? What animals do they
think their pets wouldn’t like to meet and why? Discuss different animals in the wild and
what they like to eat – from small squirrels to large lions.
Play a game as a group as you explain the necessity for plants and animals to be placed
in a certain order (Food Chain Game - see resources)
Children learn about simple food chains through a craft activity where they glue animals
to polystyrene cups and then order them according to what is eaten by what (G308A).

Focus: Creation shows us that God is orderly in the digestive system.
The digestive system in the human body breaks down food for us to eat. This shows God’s
orderliness in His design of man.

RESOURCES
Discuss healthy eating and what the children like to eat. Perhaps they know of people
with special diets.
Use a worksheet to learn the names of the digestive tract (G308W2). After handing out
the worksheet play the video (Digestion System for kids – see resources) for the children
to find the answers. They write them into their worksheets.
