Discovery: Trinity - 3 Experiments using Everyday Objects
Save time and shop with confidence! Watch the lesson preview video here.
❇️Your students will embark on a scientific discovery that guides their personal understanding of the Trinity through experimentation. They will use such diverse objects as a banana, an egg, and ice-cubes that will launch a discussion on the Trinity.
✴️ It is IMPORTANT that you read the definition of the Trinity included in this lesson plan so that you know what you are purchasing. ✴️
❇️ Each experiment targets one or more elements of this definition:
The Trinity is made up of three persons: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. These three persons of the Trinity are:
⭐️ COEQUAL (one person is not more important than the others)
⭐️ COETERNAL (they have always existed together)
⭐️ DISTINCT (each person is different in FORM)
⭐️ Yet the three CANNOT BE SEPARATED (they are all ONE, not 1/3 of the whole)
⭐️ Each person has a DIFFERENT ROLE
⭐️ In other words … three “WHO”s and one “WHAT”
✴️ While any lesson on the Trinity is wrought with potential difficulties, instead of a wholesale dismissal of any attempt to grasp the concepts, it seems best to explain the value (benefits) and the shortcomings (problems) of each “experiment” in our understanding of the triune God. Because there is nothing within our universe to which to compare the Trinity, by understanding what the Trinity IS NOT we ironically take steps closer and closer to what it IS.
✔️ Included in this download:
Ten page lesson plan with clear instructions and suggested wording that can be read or adapted.
Four page scientific notebook (which includes a colorful cover) for students to record their findings
Three "tented" experiment name signs to gain student interest quickly
One page colorful Trinity definition for student reference
❇️ There are three experiments in this lesson plan using everyday objects. All you will need is a banana, a hard boiled egg, an electric kettle and ice cubes. A brief overview of each experiment is below.
⭐️ Banana Split: Demonstrates THREE PARTS of the Trinity.
⭐️ “Eggs”actly!: An egg shows the differing FUNCTIONS of the 3-in-1.
⭐️ Steaming Hot Ice Water: The Trinity is three-in-one ALL AT THE SAME TIME.
❇️ Lastly, we have provided a one minute condensed version of the third experiment "Steaming Hot Ice Water" which can also be played for your class if you don't have the 8-10 minutes that this experiment requires. Bookmark the YouTube video here.
❇️ We have a similar lesson for another "tough to understand" concept: the Holy Spirit. It can be purchased separately here.
