STEAM Power
Pringle, Tom
Primary Science, n153 p21-24 May 2018
At first glance, science and art seem as likely companions as oil and water. Is there more to mixing them up than mere metaphor and a messy floor? In this article, Tom Pringle shares some ideas for powering up the classroom by turning STEM into STEAM by dipping the paintbrush of art into the pot of science. In both art and science pupils can experience unexpected moments of genuine discovery when they are supported in pursuing spontaneous investigations.
