In this unit of study, students will explore the connections between art and science through the expeditionary learning model. In each lesson, students will have the opportunity to travel outside of the classroom to explore their surrounding environment and to take on the role of investigators of their natural world. Through the study of exploration, biology, and finally, art making, they will learn about how for many years, art and science have informed each other. Over the course of the unit plan, the students will experiment with a range of materials, and, most importantly, engage with their local environment and community.
