BIBLE TRUTH
God keeps us afloat during difficult times.
WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS
Isaiah 43:2
New International Version (NIV)
2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.
HANDS-ON EXPERIMENT
Valentine’s Day Chocolate Candy Drop
INGREDIENTS
- Valentine’s Day Chocolate Candy
- Water
- Transparent Container
INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 1: Fill the transparent container half of the way with water. Is the water a solid or a liquid and why? Describe the water by using its observable properties.
STEP 2: Is the Valentine’s Day chocolate candy a solid or a liquid and why? Describe the candy by using its observable properties.
STEP 3: Drop the candy into the water and observe. What happened? Develop a model to describe how the candy that floats is made of particles too small to be seen.
EXPLANATION
Most of the candy will be denser than the water and sink to the bottom of the transparent container. Some of the candy will be less dense, when compared to the water, and float. Each piece of candy contains different ingredients. Those pieces with a lot of air inside, float.
BIBLE CONNECTION
God is like the air, which keeps the candy afloat, He keeps us afloat during the difficult times in our lives.
