Rain and science

Prayer Spaces at Home and a Prayer for the scientists and the environment

Have you ever been to a science lesson where you learnt how rain forms? Or have you ever been out on a hot summer’s day and realised how important water is when you are thirsty? Water is important for life, not only because we drink it but also because we use water to wash, clean and water plants. Science helps us understand nature around us. Many scientists discover new medicine, new healing methods and help us become aware of how we are harming the Earth and ourselves.

  • Fill the jar with ¾ water and continue filling the jar with shaving cream. 
  • In a separate cup, put some water and mix in the food colouring. 
  • Take the pipette and start transferring the coloured water onto the shaving cream. Once the shaving cream is filled, it will start pouring the coloured water like rain into the water. 
  • Praise God for the rain, for the environment and for scientists.

How to use this space

God speaks to us in many ways, including through prayer at home. Here you will find useful background and activities to better understand how to pray, helping you to connect with God in your daily life in a meaningful way.
