Homeschool Science Tip - Add a science-related art project.

Science and art go together like peanut butter and jelly - both are good separately, but together they make the quintessential sandwich. Well, maybe that's not the best analogy.

But my point is that when we can combine learning subjects in homeschooling it's like hitting an educational home run. And doing a science-related art project allows you to do just that.

You can review what you are learning in science and let your student's creativity blossom through art! Here are a few of our favorite ways to add a bit of science-related art to our homeschooling plans:

• by making posters, either habitat posters or life-cycle posters
• by using science to create art, like in marker chromatography or in Epsom salt painting
• by make a model, such as an edible model of a cell or a habitat diorama

Those are just a few ideas of how you can combine learning about science with the creativity of art. However you choose to partner science with art, your students are sure to be inspired!
