The lesson “Developing the Mind” teaches children how God desires for us to develop our minds. Children will work together to review Bible verses discussing the importance of a sound mind and will begin to develop ideas surrounding a research project that interests them, in order to develop their own minds in a different way and learn new things. The lesson includes guided instructions for the teacher, including preparation, a script, and suggested activities to facilitate further learning in a fun and interactive manner. This lesson is designed for children between 9-11 years, and is the 9th lesson in the 1st Year “Research Project” unit.
