THE FUNGI KINGDOM

Biblical principle
Colossians 1:16New International Version (NIV)
16 For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth,
visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities;
all things have been created through him and for him.
This verse is going to be very useful to introduce the general topic
kingdoms.
With the help of the verse, I will ask the students to name things in
heaven and on earth, and visible and invisible things. They will be asked
about the Creator of all these things.
