This lesson focuses on scientific observation, basic art sketching, and how scientists have used illustration throughout human history to make discoveries. This self-guided study is based around the lowly yet amazing and ubiquitous dandelion. Let your students loose to discover the science right under our noses.
These exercises can all be done on the worksheet provided here, but they come together nicely in one place if your students have done our Build a Journal lesson — so that they can use their homemade field journal for their drawings and observations.
