Fun-filled demonstrations for revealing truths about God and creation

Nothing captures the attention of young people--and adults--like a creative object lesson. This hands-on book has 77 exciting science activities that reveal the order and grandeur of creation and encourage an appreciation of all God has made. Each activity includes a key verse from Scripture, a Bible lesson, an activity, and a science explanation. These easy experiments illustrate the laws of nature, teach Bible principles, and affirm God's power as Creator. Included are lessons about
  • God's design
  • music
  • God's promises
  • heaven
  • angels
  • the authority of the Scriptures
  • weather
  • stability in a changing world
  • forming good habits
  • appreciating our senses
  • patience
  • trust
  • salvation
  • understanding faith

The clearly explained demonstrations use common household objects, require little setup, and are illustrated with diagrams. Younger children may require assistance. With a presentation of Scripture and dramatic results, the science activities in this book make Bible truth unforgettable.

Donald B. DeYoung is a scientist, author, and chairman of the science and mathematics department at Grace College in Winona Lake, Indiana. He is the author of several books on science and the Bible and speaks on creation, detailing how the intricacies of nature are a powerful testimony to the Creator's care for mankind.
