differently

just see roses

I see flowers

 How Art can help to engage reluctant learners of Science
           What Art does to help Reading
           How art inspires creative writing
Science and Art are natural partners in learning. Science and art stimulate the imagination, and
closely observe colors, textures, shape, behaviors, actions and reactions, in chemistry,
biology, botany, zoology, astronomy, anatomy, and in fact the whole world around us.

Draw upon the natural questions that arise to teach and learn more about science while enjoying
the emotional and aesthetic experiences of integrating
artistic interest with scientific
investigation.
