This lesson uses an inquiry-based and hands-on approach to scientific exploration through art and serves as an introductory lesson to the Forces and Motion unit in grade 3. Students are problem-solving and working both independently and collaboratively to manipulate forces to create art. As the introductory lesson to the new unit, the aim is to spark a sense of wonder and curiosity as students explore and see how art can help us better understand science.
