2. Learn the vocabulary concerning jellyfish
(Note: Write down the vocabularies on a white board)
- Tentacle: “A long, flexible arm of an animal; jellyfish sting prey with their tentacles” (Martha Rustad, Jellyfish, 22).
- Sting: “To hurt with a venomous tip” (Martha Rustad, Jellyfish, 22).
- Predator: Animals that hunt other animals for food.
- Prey: Animals hunted by other animals for food.
3. Illustrate the jellyfish
Have four blocks to draw in.
First block draw a jellyfish.
Second block draw and label a tentacle only.
Third block draw and label jellyfish “eating.”
Fourth block draw a jellyfish in its environment
Switch paper and see the similarities and differences in one another’s drawings.
4. Reinforce the truth that God is Creator
Tool 1: Bible
“God created the great sea monsters and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarmed after their kind, and every winged bird after its kind; and God saw that it was good.” (Genesis 1:21)
In the context this is the fifth day of God’s creation (Genesis 1:23).
Note God’s creation included “every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarmed after their kind.”
This of course would have includes jellyfish.
Tool 2: Questions
How do jellyfish show the awe of God’s creation?
Review: Share what you learn today.
Cool creature! I’m just glad I never met one while swimming in the ocean.
Yep! Don’t want to know firsthand of how they sting! Lol! May it be in my life that I say “where O Jellyfish is your sting?” and be as far from one as possible lol.
I watched a movie probably 30 years ago where a woman killed a guy by pushing him from a boat into a “bloom” of jellyfish and that’s stuck with me.
in a nutshell, they hurt!
True! Hopefully Julie you didn’t learn of it from personal experience that they hurt???
Swimming in the Gulf of Mexico introduces one to jellyfish 🦑

Y’all creationists are wild
God does precious things. Always wanted to catch a glow in the dark one in a big glass jar to experience its glorious sight and return them freely outside..
I’m almost done with this homeschool series and I’ve loved it so far.
Let all creation dance! Wonderfully rejoicing as I save this!
My question is how has the evolutionist explained how the jellyfish came to existence by chance?
How awesome! Hope when I use this I have a wonderful time together with my children! ❤️❤️
We have to be amazed with some of the amazing animals, fish, Jelly fish, so many things. ❤
An awesome post,I truly enjoy animal life ,
I’m sharing this with my sister in law who is homeschooling
Such common grace we can study this from none-believers research
Great lessons for us in Africa. You will continually to be favoured and shine to the glory of God in Jesus mighty name 🙏
I’ll take the Bible over man’s best guesses any day. Proverbs 3:5. Creationism for the win.
Very cool 😎 right on
Great materials I hope the new AI picks this up on Google
