LIFE!
Truth to Teach (Source)
This project explores the characteristics of life and seeks to discover how to live life
fully.
Genesis 1-2 Creation
John 1:3-4 ‘Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made
that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of
men.’
Colossians 1:16 ‘For by him all things were created, things in heaven and on
earth, visible and invisible….’
Acts 17:28 ‘In him we live and move and have our being.’
John 10:10 ‘I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.’
God is Life and he has expressed this through a variety of creative acts,
producing a host of different life forms, which relate together in an ordered
way.
Every form of life shows eight characteristics of ‘being alive’- growth,
reproduction, sensitivity, movement, mortality, nutrition, excretion and
respiration. Some or all of these can be understood in simple terms and where
possible through simple experiments.
Life is not simply a biological event for humans but a spiritual one too, so that
we can enjoy life to the full as part of the family of God.
Way to Work (Means)
The children are taught through weekly lessons, lasting about an hour, over the
course of a term.
