Air-Dry Modeling clay provides a creative medium for students to use when learning about and exploring the anatomy of Marine organisms. Being able to put structures together helps students to learn where they actually are within the body, but also prompts questions about function as well. Students want to know why it has to be that shape, why it has to be in this place, why it has to connect to this or that, which leads to a better understanding of body systems. Participating in hands-on projects keeps students engaged and interested, and encourages questioning and exploration far beyond a book-bound lesson. My students enjoy the creative process and enjoy having ownership over their project. They are often surprised when we conduct follow-up lessons and they realize how much they actually learned while 'playing with clay'
