Biology and Arts Project

Justification: Learning through classroom intervention improves not only knowledge acquisition but also helps develop creativity, ingenuity and imagination. It also helps students build up on problem solving skills and it creates a life-long learning environment allowing the use of teaching approaches that enable students to use many artistic talents that differentiate them.

Sixth Grade: Dinosaurs? Processes of Evolution and Adaptation into Modern Species: Students built a model of a species of dinosaurs in order to highlight its anatomical features which were compared with a species that exists nowadays and that could possibly be the result of adaptations in the process of evolution and/or natural selection.

Seventh Grade: Parts of the Blood in Blood Vessels. Students devised the best ways to use different kinds of materials to build a model of a blood vessel with its corresponding blood cells.

Eighth Grade : Human Joints (the skeletal system). Students devised the best ways to use different kinds of materials to build a model of a human joint, show all its parts and explain how they work and aid locomotion.
