How can we integrate arts of all kinds into science education to promote deep learning of science concepts while further developing artistic skills?

   Children can make sense of science content easier if they draw, paint, model etc... parts of the content they are learning. It is part of the traditional Waldorf curriculum where I used to teach. There are endless ways to engage children in the science content with arts.
  Example: My students were learning about erosion and how a river can create a canyon over millions of years. After we learned about erosion they had to show their thinking on how a canyon would form by river erosion with colored pencil drawings. If time is not an issue modeling clay would be great for this too.]]> 2023-02-17 22:42:30 UTC https://padlet.com/zbeinhauer/i7i6pwvioa1gu87e/wish/2486827889 zbeinhauer https://padlet.com/zbeinhauer/i7i6pwvioa1gu87e/wish/2486833730    Our school uses Grace Dearborn strategies and we had the chance to hear her workshop about this live last month.
Word mirroring (you can put some dance moves in it) is a great way to remember science vocabulary words. Movement and speaking help the brain memorize things easier. You can also use it for short phenomena too.
Example: I used this technique to teach children about the movement of tectonic plates when we learned about volcanos.]]> 2023-02-17 22:55:59 UTC https://padlet.com/zbeinhauer/i7i6pwvioa1gu87e/wish/2486833730 zbeinhauer https://padlet.com/zbeinhauer/i7i6pwvioa1gu87e/wish/2486836507    Singing is great way to learn content. If you can't find a song about a specific science content you are teaching (you probably won't) you can also pick a well known song and create your own science lyric to it. You can even add some dance moves. It is fun, engaging and children will remember songs (and most importantly content) for a long time.
   Example: I gave my student the challenge to do this to learn about "How environmental changes affect our landscape over millions of years?" I quickly realized they are a little too young to do this on their own, so next time I will come up with it for them:).]]> 2023-02-17 23:03:28 UTC https://padlet.com/zbeinhauer/i7i6pwvioa1gu87e/wish/2486836507 nonirohr https://padlet.com/zbeinhauer/i7i6pwvioa1gu87e/wish/2504157036 I will infuse our science questioning by going back to the folklore and asking what scientific question are they trying to answer?
How can we answer that today differently? ]]> 2023-03-05 20:18:06 UTC https://padlet.com/zbeinhauer/i7i6pwvioa1gu87e/wish/2504157036 nonirohr https://padlet.com/zbeinhauer/i7i6pwvioa1gu87e/wish/2504179219 I plan to implement a Kashia Science Fair where students practice using a procedure with a hypothesis and and outcome.
