This fourth grade lesson is full of science connections. Organic shapes, resist, color mixing and salt absorbing water just to name a few. To begin the lesson, students viewed two leaves side-by-side on the screen and made observations like a scientist. They worked in groups comparing and contrasting the two leaves. We used crayons to draw a variety of leaves and also made sure to demonstrate space through overlapping. They were to fill the space with leaves and then the excitement began. Students used watercolor paints and experimented with mixing all kinds of colors. They learned the wet on wet technique, lifting color and adding salt to their colors.
