Start with bismillah.

Lift a log or stone in the garden (gently). Ask: "Why do the little creatures hurry away?"

Watch the Animated Science video about the woodlice choice chamber.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What do the disbelievers do?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why would anyone choose not to see the truth?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Inshiqaq is surah 84. Find ayah 22. The key word yukadhdhibun means they keep calling it a lie. They choose to turn away, like creatures that run from the light.

Fact: Do woodlice prefer light or dark, damp or dry? Why?

Ages 5–8: Choice box. In a shoebox, make one side dark and damp and the other light and dry. Put in a few woodlice for ten minutes. Where do they go? (Then put them back.)

Ages 9–12: Fair test. Plan the woodlice experiment properly: what will you change, and what will you keep the same?

Finish with: "I found that woodlice prefer ___."

Talk together:

• Woodlice need the dark to live. But people need the light of guidance. Why?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• Why do some people find it hard to accept the truth?
• How can we gently share the truth with others?
• What would you like to ask an ustaz or ustazah about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will choose the 'light' option when I have a choice."

• Choose the "light" option in your choices.
• Show someone your woodlice results.
• Put every creature back where you found it.
• Next time: the next ayah (84:23) says Allah knows what they hide inside. Explore it together!

Action: Choose the 'light' option when you have a choice.
