In The Kingdom Builders: The Mystery of the Daytime Moon, Chris, John, Mary, and Martha are puzzled when they spot the moon in the sky during the daytime. Curious about this unusual sight, the Kingdom Builders decide to investigate why the moon sometimes appears during the day. Using the Engineering Design Cycle, they set out to create a model that explains the movement of the Earth, moon, and sun.
As the team collaborates, John gathers materials for their solar system model, Martha sketches the orbits, and Mary encourages everyone to explore God’s creation with wonder and respect. After testing their model and refining it, the Kingdom Builders successfully demonstrate how the moon’s orbit causes it to be visible at different times, including during the day.
This story introduces young readers to basic concepts of astronomy, while also highlighting the value of curiosity, teamwork, and faith in understanding the world around us. The Kingdom Builders show that with determination and a love of learning, even the mysteries of the universe can be explored and appreciated, inspiring children to marvel at the wonders of God’s creation.
