Teaching through Trade Books: The Science of Art
Morgan, Emily; Ansberry, Karen
Science and Children, v53 n6 p15-21 Feb 2016
It's easy to see the connections between science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics (STEAM) in daily life, but they may not be so obvious in the classroom. This month's lessons allow students to explore the components of STEAM through a favorite art supply, the crayon, and a beloved American tradition, the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. This month's lessons demonstrate that science and engineering are essential components in art.
