About Crackle and Pop!
There are 100+ experiments and activities in Crackle and Pop! that can
be integrated with the Old and New Testaments. Each STEM experiment and
activity can be completed alone or combined with a story from the Bible.
The image below shows only a small portion of what you can find in the
book. Homeschooling families, private school teachers, camp counselors,
and church group leaders would be able to find lots of things to do in this
book!
Note: Because of the Christian nature of Crackle and Pop!, public school teachers and teachers in Jewish and Muslim private schools
may or may not find this book helpful. There are a lot of terrific
STEM ideas in Crackle and Pop!, but you may need to pick and choose which experiments and activities you
can use in the classroom.
Bible Stories
On each double-page spread in the Crackle and Pop, Hanna
Holwerda presents you with a passage from the Bible and several STEM and
science activities parents and teachers can integrate with it. For
example, there is a collection of Noah's Ark-themed activities to go with
Genesis 7 and 8 (See Endless Rain in the above photo). The author
suggests that you read the story of Noah's Ark with your students to set the
stage for the experiments. You can either read the story directly from
the Bible or from one of the countless picture books available online.
