Lesson Eight: We Can Choose

Submitted by a member of my fhe4children group.
Experiment
This experiment was sent to me by someone in this group but I have seen
this done in Primary.  This can be used for all ages of children but for
younger children, you will have to adapt it so they understand and
teenagers it will be a reminder to them.

You will need:
1 canning jar partially filled with bleach
1 small clear glass half filled with water
liquid food coloring

We have the power to choose.  This glass represents choices we make.  In this case maybe we decided to go somewhere we know we shouldn't be (drop green food coloring in the glass).  We may choose to speak in a way that wouldn't please our parents or Heavenly Father (drop red food coloring)
Continue describing choices they might be making and adding food coloring.  Did you know that we are accountable for the choices that we make?  (pour bleach into glass from jar)  If we choose wrong we need to repent and not do it again.  If we are in the situation where we need to make a choice we need to stop and think about it and be sure we are making the right choices.  If we need to we can pray for guidance.  If we remember that we are accountable for our choices and we plan and prepare so that we will make the right choices, our decisions will be clean and clear as this water.
