Day 2 of Creation: Sky

This day of creation is intriguing to me.  I had never really thought of the “sky” as what separates the two bodies of water (water in the oceans and water in the clouds) until Big Brother and I read the text together.

“And God said, “Let there be a vault between the waters to separate water from water.” So God made the vault and separated the water under the vault from the water above it. And it was so. God called the vault “sky.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day.”  -Genesis 1: 6-8

We just had a thunderstorm last night, so it made it easier to explain the fact that when clouds get too much water in them, then the water comes down in the form of rain.

Here’s what you’ll need to make the “craft” for this day:  construction paper, scissors, a marker, and cotton balls.

1.  Let your little one start pulling apart the cotton balls and gluing them onto a light-blue piece of construction paper.
2.  In the meantime, cut out waves from a darker piece of construction paper (or let your child do this step if he/she is proficient at using scissors).

 

3.  Let your child glue on the waves and label (if you want).

 

And here is the song to go along with Day 2:

“Day 2, Day 2
God made clouds and skies so blue
Day 2, Day 2
God made cloud and skies so blue!”

    As a fellow educator, mom, and Christian, I also enjoy your inspiring and creative posts :) You might be interested in this science experiment to show kids how the sunrise and sunset sky changes color. I've done it a few times with my 2nd graders and they are also in awe :) http://www.exploratorium.edu/snacks/blue_sky/index.html

    Remember, there was no rain before the flood (of Noah). Then the climate changed and clouds and rain and a rainbow appeared!
