Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

1. Guide learners to recall the creation stories they learned at B8.
• With Think-Pair Share, learners recollect lessons learned from the creation stories.
2. Identify the purpose and usefulness of God's creation. E.g.
• Humankind - to serve/worship God, care for other creatures (stewardship), etc.
• Animals - security, companionship, food, clothing
• Plants - food, medicine, shelter, beautification.
• Water bodies - food, transportation, irrigation, electricity, domestic and industrial use.
• Heavenly bodies - light, energy, time and seasons.
• Note: In science you discussed diversity of matter where you learned that each organism in nature plays a role in nature. Learners must come to the realisation that all creation of God is for a purpose.
Project Work
