Watercolor in Science

Presenter: Leigh Marmes, 6th & 7th grade Science, Merrill Middle School, Oshkosh, leigh.marmes@oshkosh.k12.wi.us

Scientists need artists to visually (and auditorily) represent their thinking.  Participants learned and practiced watercolor painting techniques using the human body system representation as a model. Then they brainstormed and discussed how students can transfer this new skill to creating a different science concept.
