Surah Kawthar Quran Journaling

Hi guys, today I wanted to share with you how we included Islamic Studies and Quran during our water unit study. 

Here are some of the books we used 

Tafseer of Surah Kawthar we listened to. We always do a puzzle together or color when we listened to any lectures together. This keeps their hands busy and they can listen better.

Vocabulary practice 

We read about the Story of Nuh (AS) using Prophet's of Allah unit study. 

We also read The Prophet's Pond by learning roots. 

Earth's Freshwater Apple Analogy

Material

1. An apple

2. Cutting board

3. Knife

4. Toothpicks

5. Small pieces of paper (prepare the labels ahead of time)

Pretend that an apple is planet Earth, round, beautiful, and full of good things. Notice its skin, hugging and protecting the surface. Water covers approximately 70% of its surface. Right away, cut the apple into quarters. Toss one quarter (25%) away. This one quarter you just removed represents dry land. What is left (75%) represents how much of the earth is covered with water – oceans, lakes, rivers, and streams. Remove the peel from one of the three remaining quarters. This represents 3% of water on earth that is freshwater. The remaining pieces represent the saltwater of the oceans. Cut the peel into three equal pieces. Set two pieces aside. The remaining piece represents 1% of the freshwater not frozen in the polar ice caps (2%) Of this remaining 1%, not all of it is potable – some is contaminated by pollution. 

Books we read

After you are done your demonstration enjoy your apple snack.
