Biblical Integration
By Sarah and Autumn
Job 26:14
“And these are but the outer fringe of his works;
how faint the whisper we hear of him!
Who then can understand the thunder of his
power?”

2. Matter
● Colossians 1:16
“For in him all things were
created: things in heaven
and on earth, visible and
invisible, whether thrones or
powers or rulers or
authorities; all things have
been created through him
and for him.”
● God created everything
and everything is his.
● Everything that has mass and
takes up space is matter.
● A physical change changes the
way a material looks, but
doesn't change the substance.
● A chemical change produces a
different substance.
● When you measure matter, you
measure it's mass, weight,
volume, and density.
● The study of the properties of
matter and the way it changes
is called chemistry.
● Matter has three different
states: solid, liquid, and gas.

3. Atoms & the Periodic Table
● Jeremiah 29:11
“For I know the plans I have
for you,” declares the Lord,
“plans to prosper you and not
to harm you, plans to give
you hope and a future.”
● Don't be afraid of God. He
just wants to guide you
through your life.
● The smallest particle of an element is
an atom.
● A chemical bond happens when two
atoms are held together by a force.
● A molecule is a combination of two or
more bonded atoms.
● All atoms have protons, neutrons, and
electrons.
● Electrons surround the protons and
neutrons that make up the nucleus.
● Dimitri Mendeleev made the first
periodic table in 1869.
● The word 'periodic' means a regular,
repeated pattern.
● The element's atomic number,
chemical symbol, name, and atomic
mass are all included on each square
of the periodic table.

4. Chemical Bonds
● Ecclesiastes 4:12
“Though one may be
overpowered, two can
defend themselves. A cord of
three strands is not quickly
broken.”
● People work better and
stronger together than
apart.
● An atom or group of atoms
that is electrically charged is
an ion.
● When two oppositely
charged ions are attracted, it
becomes an ionic bond.
● Ions form three-dimensional
arrangements called crystals.
● When every ion is attracted
to any other ions near it that
have an opposite charge, it
becomes an ionic compound.

5. Chemical Reactions
● Hebrews 13:8
“Jesus Christ is the same
yesterday and today and
forever.”
● Jesus Christ will always be
the same, no matter how
the Earth changes.
● Materials with properties that
are different from the starting
material is one of the production
steps of a chemical reaction.
● A chemical reaction is a change
in energy.
● Chemical reactions happen
when a chemical bond breaks
or a new bond forms.
● Chemical reactions can be
classified into one of three
categories: synthesis,
decomposition, or replacement.

6. Acids & Bases
● 1 John 4:1-3
“Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but
test the spirits to see whether they are from
God, because many false prophets have
gone out into the world. This is how you can
recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that
acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come
in the flesh is from God, but every spirit that
does not acknowledge Jesus is not from
God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which
you have heard is coming and even now is
already in the world.”
● Don't just believe anybody
but make sure they aren't
liars.
● Compounds that share properties of
reactions they encounter are acids.
● Bases can be identified by their
common properties: bitter, feels
slippery, and turns red litmus paper
blue.
● An acid is one of any substance that
can produce hydrogen ions.
● A base is one of any substance that
can produce hydroxide ions.
● A range of values from 0 to 14 is the
pH scale.
● When the concentration of hydrogen
ions are high, then there is a low pH.
● When the concentration of hydrogen
ions are low, the there is a high pH.

7. Energy
● Ephesians 2:10
“For we are God’s handiwork,
created in Christ Jesus to do
good works, which God
prepared in advance for us to
do.”
● We do good works for
Jesus and we are God's
work.
● Energy is the ability to do work, or
cause change.
● Work is a transfer of energy.
● Kinetic energy and potential energy are
the two general kinds of energy.
● Kinetic energy is the energy of motion.
● Potential energy is the energy that is
stored and held in readiness.
● Elastic potential energy is associated
with objects that can be compressed or
stretched.
● Mechanical energy, Thermal energy,
Chemical energy, Electrical energy,
Electromagnetic energy, and Nuclear
energy are some of the major forms of
energy.

8. Thermal Energy
● Revelation 3:15
“I know your deeds, that you
are neither cold nor hot. I
wish you were either one or
the other!”
● Make up your mind. Are
you on fire for God or do
you not believe in Him?
● The measure of the average
kinetic energy in an object is
called temperature.
● There are three scales for
measuring temperature:
Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin.
● 0 Kelvin, or -273°C, are the
lowest temperatures possible
called absolute zero, when no
more energy, can be removed
from matter.
● The total energy of all the
particles in matter is thermal
energy.
● The movement of thermal
energy at a higher temperature
to a lower temperature is heat.

9. Motion
● Matthew 17:20
'He replied, “Because you
have so little faith. Truly I tell
you, if you have faith as
small as a mustard seed, you
can say to this mountain,
‘Move from here to there,’
and it will move. Nothing will
be impossible for you.”'
● If we have strong faith and
we stand up for what we
believe in, we have the
power to change anything.
● When an object's distance from a
different object is changing, then
the object is in motion.
● A place or object used for
comparison to determine if
something is in motion is a
reference point.
● If an object changes position,
relative to a reference point, it is in
motion.
● The distance an object travels per
unit of time, is its speed.

10. Forces
● Colossians 2:20
● A push or a pull is known as a force.
● The overall force of an object and when
the forces are added together, it is
known as a net force.
● When an object starts moving,
stopping, or changing direction the
cause of it is known as unbalanced
forces.
● An equal force that acts on another
object in two different ways is called a
balanced force.
● When an object has the tendency to
resist change in motion, it is called
inertia.
● The net force is equal to the product of
the acceleration and the mass.
“Since you died with Christ
to the elemental spiritual
forces of this world, why, as
though you still belonged to
the world, do you submit to
its rules:”
●
We have to follow
Christ with all our hearts
and all our minds as if
one day we are going to
work along side with him.

11. Magnetism
● Hebrews 10:22
“Let us draw near to God
with a sincere heart and with
the full assurance that faith
brings, having our hearts
sprinkled to cleanse us from
a guilty conscience and
having our bodies washed
with pure water.”
● We have to really want Jesus
to be in our hearts. We have
to follow him and have him
guide us through the
toughest and even the
easiest times.
● The attraction of a magnet for
another object is called magnetism.
● Every magnet has to ends, each
end is called a magnetic pole.
● Alike poles repel each other and
unlike poles attract each other.
● The region around a magnet is the
magnetic field.
● All or most of the domains in a
magnetized material are arranged
in the same direction.

12. ● Isaiah 40:29
“He gives strength to the
weary and increases the
power of the weak.”
● He strengthens us when
we need help.
Electricity
● When a wire is carrying a current and
is placed in magnetic field, electrical
energy converts to mechanical energy.
● A device that turns an axle with an
electric current is an electric motor.
● When the flow of a current is reversed
through an electric motor, the device is
called a commutator.
● An alternating currents has charges
that move back and forth in a circuit
● A direct current has charges that move
in only one direction.
● Electric generators convert mechanical
energy into electrical energy.

13. Sound
● Psalm 66:8
“Praise our God, all peoples,
let the sound of his praise be
heard”
● Everyone should praise God
and hear the sound of his
praise.
● A disturbance that travels in a
medium in the form of a
longitudinal wave is sound.
● Elasticity, density, and
temperature are all dependents
of the speed of sound.
● Loudness is a description of
what you actually hear.
● The more intense a sound wave
is, the louder it is.
● A description of how high or low
the sound is is the pitch of a
sound.

14. Light
● John 12:46
“I have come into the world
as a light, so that no one who
believes in me should stay in
darkness.”
● Jesus is the light if we
believe in him.
● When light strikes an object it
can be reflected, absorbed,
or transmitted.
● Transparent materials
transmit light.
● Translucent materials scatter
light.
● When you see most objects,
the light is either reflected or
bounced off the object.
● The colors of objects are the
colors of the light that it
reflects.
