An interactive lesson based on a Christian philosophy of education in a 2nd grade classroom could be when we are studying plants. We learn about the parts of plants, how they were designed, how they work, and how humans have cultivated and used them to feed our population today. We discuss how God placed man on the earth to work and care for the creation. We discuss and discover how God made plants able to reproduce and what is required for plants to remain healthy and how God initially supplied all those things.

In my course on competing worldviews, I often have students form groups and address a set of questions from the worldview they just studied. Some groups are assigned the task of representing the biblical worldview of the same questions.

When we study geography we understand that people groups have their own national boundaries, languages and customs. In the same way we look at how God has given us a Gospel to share with every tongue, tribe and nation. Geography gives us some small insight into the lives of people from other nations so that we might use our knowledge to further the Gospel of Christ.

When studying fables, we discuss how many fables were told to teach a lesson. In the same way, Jesus used parables that people understood to illustrate a lesson. Students can compare a fable to a parable.
