They also used acrylic paint during science to show water distribution on Earth.\r\n\r\nThis was done in just a few weeks of school, so I'm excited to continue planning art projects that will engage my students.

Normally, my students would just draw and label models of different structures and functions, but this year they got to construct a model instead. Being able to construct the model really helped them to be more engaged but also to think about all of the different parts in a mouth and how they are the same and different from animal to animal.
