Standard Class Strip invest friend.jpg

Requirement 1a

Read Rom. 1:19, 20 and tell how nature reveals God’s character.




Because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse.
— Romans 1:19,20 (NKJV)

Requirement 1b

Find two other Chapters in the Bible that demonstrate how nature reveals God’s character.



Requirement 2

Bird/Mammals Set up a feeding station for the birds or mammals. Report on the types of visitors you observe for one week.



A fun way to do this is to build an animal/bird feeder by rolling a pine cone in peanut butter and then sprinkling it with bird seeds.

Materials

  • Pine cones (one per Pathfinder)
  • Yarn (18-24 inches per Pathfinder)
  • Teaspoon or tablespoon (one per Pathfinder)
  • Peanut butter
  • Bird seed
  • A large mixing bowl
  • Latex gloves (available in the paint section of most hardware stores).
  • Sandwich baggies

Procedure

The first step it to tie a length of yarn to the pine cone. This will allow the feeder to be hung from a tree when it is finished.

Then scoop some peanut butter from a jar with a spoon and squish it into the pine cone. When the pine cone is completely coated with peanut butter, roll it around in a large bowl filled with bird seed. Place it in a sandwich bag for easy transport, and then have the Pathfinders throw away the gloves and (or) wash up (including the bowl and spoons).

The Pathfinder should choose a place to hang it at home (or at school). It is best to hang it so that it can be seen from a window. It goes without saying that the feeder should be removed from the baggie before it is hung, but say it anyways. This feeder will attract birds, squirrels, and other animals as well.
