The Bible activity book invites students to discover science in the Bible and appreciate God’s creation through science.

Is it possible to teach science from a faith perspective? Can a student appreciate faith and science at the same time? Retired teacher Louise Barrett Derr would answer “yes”.
 
Derr expounds her answer by publishing a Bible activity book titled “Experiencing Bible Science: A Lab Book for the Young at Heart” (WestBow Press, 2011). The book is aimed at students “young at heart” of any age, as the author puts it, and its purpose is to help them discover science in the Scriptures.
 
The first in the “Experiencing Bible Science” series, the book is divided into four sections: “Earth”, “Sky”, “Water”, and “Other Activities”, which contains additional projects that can be adapted to help students know more about the science found in the Scriptures. The activities mostly follow the inquiry approach style and through them, the author encourages students to reflect on the wonders of creation as they reveal God’s glory.
 
To relate the world of the Bible to the natural world, students undertake activities that mirror conventional science activities at school but with an emphasis on the Scriptures. Students obtain the items they need to perform a particular science activity, follow the procedures, record their findings and observations, link their results to their hypothesis, and wrap up their conclusion.
 
Students are encouraged to wear an old white shirt for a lad coat. “This stimulates them to realize they are having experiences related to science,” said the author in the book’s introduction for parents and teachers.
 
“Experiencing Bible Science” empowers children to live by their faith and perform science with integrity. The book makes a great resource for use in Christian schools, vacation Bible classes, Bible camps, and homeschooling.
