A fun experiment about the story of the man through the roof
The four friends in the story lowered the paralysed man through the roof. Then, when he is lying on the ground it doesn’t look as if anything is happening. Jesus says to him, ‘Your sins are forgiven’. But you can’t see that, and the man is still paralysed. Then the visible miracle happens – he sits up, stands up and starts walking.
This is a very easy experiment you can do with the children to illustrate this.
What do you need:
- a glass of water
- carbonated (fizzy) water
- some sweetcorn
- a few raisins
