Note
1. Aims of science teaching
(1) God is the source of all things. Hence we will confront the idea that science is
autonomous. We will seek to exemplify dependence upon God and foster awareness that
we are accountable to Him for all that we do.
(7) We will consider how roles may be restored to wholeness, how brokenness in the
different realms of creation can be healed, how those alienated from God, from each
other, and from the creation, can be reconciled, how the Gospel shalom might now be
established, at least in part, on the basis of Christs work of redemption.
(9) We will tell the stories of science as strands of the universal story of Creation-Fall-
Redemption-New Creation. We will seek to integrate the three levels of Christian storytelling:
Biblical, cultural and personal.
Reflection
My subject for unit plan is Science. In this chapter8, I was able to find many reasons that we have to
learn and teach about science. Many people think science is contradicting with the creation theory, but
that is not true. If we look at the science as a tool for human to understand deeper about God's
created world, there will not be many contradicting debates. If we see God as who He is, we have to
admit that He is the creator. There is no other options to explain God's created world. We are also part
of His creation. Therefore, we cannot avoid to seek higher level of understanding about His creation.
This chapter explains clearly to the teachers who will be teaching science to the students about
foundational principles. Which will help the students to look at this world as God's wonderful creation.
