I would probably use this more in an art history lesson rather than science perhaps studying textiles from South America or something like that, but however you teach it, it is such a great activity. Sharla and her kids took flowers and made paint from them. This is a science, art, history extravaganza, and it’s fabulous. Flower Petal Fingerpaint by The Chaos and the Clutter That’s really all I have to say about that. Exploring Sunography: Making Sun Prints by In the Playroom They also provide some links to learn more about nebulae at the bottom of the post. This is a fun little miniature project where the kids make nebulae out of glue and liquid watercolor.

Explore Nebulae Through Art by Mosswood Connections She added some cool color experiments at the end which give it an art twist. Stacey and her boys made crystals/rock candy. I love posts that make me want to drop everything and do the activity. Teach your kids that oil and water don’t mix with this fun project with a gorgeous end result! Sweet Science – The Study Of Seed Crystals Growth (Rock Candy) by Fancy Shanty This is a great way for the child to experiment and describe their observations! Art & Science for Kids: Watercolors & Oil by Babble Dabble Do I love this project exploring the different absorptive qualities of different materials. Exploring Absorption with Watercolors on a Texture Board by Fun at Home with Kids It does require a little heavier involvement with the teacher, but the results are so beautiful! This definitely takes leaf printing to the next level. While we are talking about leaves, check out this project. I know I will definitely be using this activity in my homeschool! Leaf Relief by Cassie Stephens Texture rubbing is a staple in the art classroom, and I like how Jacquie incorporated the science of trees with her kids. The Art & Science of Leaf Rubbings by Edventures with Kids So neat! You could use this as a great little activity to help explain to children how rainbows exist. Basically, you use clear nail polish, water, and paper to capture rainbows on paper. This is so cool! I almost stopped writing this post to go try this with my kids.

I love her books and have several of them (but not this one! I need to remedy that.) If you like the science and art activities below, I’m sure this book won’t disappoint! Please note, this post includes Amazon affiliate links. I only choose science and art activities that teach specific science concepts as this post is about teaching science using art rather than teaching art using science.īefore reading on, check out this book by MaryAnn Kohl, Science Arts: Discovering Science Through Art Experiences. Those are so fun, but I left them out for this collection. There are tons of projects out there online that integrate art and science, but the science is mixing a sensory goop.

My 13 Art and Math Projects for Kids post has been doing pretty well on my site lately, so I decided to keep the art integration going with Science! Check out these awesome ways to teach science using art below.
