1. Observation Section

Encourage students to use their senses. You could provide a simple table or prompts like:

| Date | Location | Weather | Sight | Sound | Smell | Thoughts/Feelings |

Tips:

• Look closely at plants, animals, and the sky.

• Listen for birds, rustling leaves, or running water.

• Notice colors, shapes, and textures.

• Write down any feelings or questions that arise.

2. Guided Reflection Questions

After making observations, students can reflect on God as Creator. Examples:

• What does this part of creation teach me about God?

• How does this animal/plant/sky display God’s wisdom or creativity?

• How does noticing these details make me feel about God’s care and provision?

• Can I see God’s order or design in this part of nature?

• How might this observation inspire me to take care of creation?

3. Optional Activities

• Sketch what you see, or press a leaf/flower in your journal.

• Compare the same location over time—what changes with the seasons?

• Collect small, natural items (stones, leaves, pinecones) and label them.

• Write a short poem or prayer inspired by what you noticed.

Nature is a window to God's heart. The more we notice, the more we see His wisdom, creativity, and care reflected all around us.

Teacher/Parent Notes

• Encourage journaling at least once or twice a week.

• Remind students: There’s no “right” way—God made them to see and think uniquely.

• Use reflections to spark discussions about science, design, and faith.
