Activities and Study Ideas:
1.
A. Look up the Canaanites, the
Hittites, the
Amorites, the
Perizzites, the
Hivites, and the
Jebusites and find where they lived at
the time of Moses on a map. Mark the area on the map where each
tribe lived (use a different color for each tribe).
B. Mark Egypt on your map also (different
color).
C. Mark on your map the Sea Of Reeds.
Note: Keep this map because you will be
adding to it, and studying it for other activities in future
chapters. This map will help you see and understand better of
future events in the coming chapters.
2.
The children of Israel were working very hard to make store houses for
Pharaoh. Look up more information about the storehouses that the
children of Israel built. See if you can find any information
about some of the storehouses that have been found by scientist and
archeologist. Write a 1/2 to 1 page report about your
findings. Here are a few questions that you can answer through
your study. You can answer other questions that you find
too.
How do the scientist and archeologist know that they
have actually found a storehouse? What evidence are they showing
for their proof? About how long did it take to build just one
storehouse? How much grain could one storehouse hold, and how big
was that storehouse? Does the scientist or acheologist show proof
of why the storehouse is no longer standing?
This study will help in several ways. First it
will help you learn how to write (complete sentences, correct
punctuation, correct spelling, ect..). It will also help you
learn history.
For the younger children, you can add a picture of a
storehouse, and maybe add people making the bricks that will be used to
build the storehouse.
3. This activity
you might want to do on another day, other than Shabbat. Also,
you are going to need a few pans, either bread pans, or other types of
small pans. You will need to ask your mom before doing this
activity to make sure you can use her pans, and to make sure what pans
you can use. The cheap aluminum pans work pretty well.
This activity is also going to be a little messy
but, it is a good experiment. I know yall will love this
one.
First, ask your parent where a good place for you to
dig would be, so that you can get some dirt, (one place is the garden
spot). Get a good sized bucket (about a gallon or so) of
dirt. Then go around and gather up some hay, straw, or dried
grass. (this may be a little hard, since not much grass is
growing now, but you will see how hard it was for the
Israelites). If you want to (just for the test, you can try
some dry leaves - which are just about everywhere). You could
also try some dry pine needles if they are available where you are.
Take your bucket of dirt and dump it on flat, or
pretty much flat ground. Now take your hay, straw, or what ever
you have found and dump it on top of the dirt. Now take the water
house and wet down the dirt and straw (just a little). Now mix it
up real good. Only add a little water at a time, until you have
have a good pile of mud and hay. Be careful not to get the dirt
to wet. You just want the dirt wet enough so that the hay will
mix well, and stick to the dirt. If you get your dirt to wet, it
will take a looooooong time to dry. Also, if you don't get your
dirt wet enough, the hay won't mix good with the dirt.
Now that you have everything mixed up good, and you
are probably pretty dirty yourself ;0) Take your pans and fill them
with the dirt and hay mixture (or dirt and what ever you used to mix
with it) and fill the pans all the way full. Now sit the pans
somewhere where they can dry. You don't want them to sit in a
place where rain or snow can get on it. You want your bricks to
dry so they are not real hard, but so that they are not real soft
either, so you'll have to keep an eye on them. When they are
almost dry, dump your pan upside down, and take out your brick.
This could take a couple of days (depending on the weather). You
may also have to tap around the sides and bottom of the pans a little
bit with your hand or a small stick to help your bricks come out of the
pans. Now, lay your bricks out a couple more days or so to finish
drying. Now you want to leave your bricks several days or so
until the bricks are actually bricks, this means completely dry and
they will be heavy.
If you made enough bricks, you can now use them to
decorate around your house. :0) Put them in your flower
garden if you like, or use for a door stopper. :0)
You can now see how hard the Israelites worked to
make just one or a few bricks, and how long it took to make just one or
a few bricks.
Write down your experience with making the
bricks. Answer the following questions after you have finished
the bricks.
1. What did you use with your dirt? (hay, straw, leaves,
something else?)
2. How well did the mixing of the ingridients go? Did you
add enough water, or to much water, did you have to add more dirt?
3. How long did it take your brick to dry enough so you could
take it out of the pans?
4. How much longer did it take your bricks to dry completly?
5. Did your bricks hold together, or did they fall apart?
6. It may not have been to hard for you to make just one or a few
bricks, but if you think about the Israelites making the bricks most of
the day and everyday, can you see and understand how hard it was for
them, and why they did cry out to YHWH to help them?
7. What do you think about this experiement?
8. What are several things that you have learned from doing this
experiment?
I hope that yall all have
success in your experiment with the bricks, and other activities.
Have a blessed Shabbat, and have fun learning!!!
